Novel Full Chapter 202: Arrogant Donnie
“How is the elemental affinity considered to be good?” Tyrion asked.
“The higher the elemental affinity, the higher the value of the elemental talent detected. For example, a normal person’s elemental affinity is only within the range of 1 to 50, and those with more than 30 are eligible to become Chemists.” Taergarien said.
He then whispered, as if he were sharing a great secret, “Someone with an elemental affinity between 30 and 50 would be detected with a greater value of elemental talent. As such, the chances of becoming a Chemist would naturally be higher for someone with a value above 50. So, in general, the higher the elemental affinity, the higher the elemental talent.”
He then added one last piece of crucial information. “As to whether there is a limit on elemental affinity, no one really knows. In the past, there were geniuses, who were said to have values of more than 100, 200, or even 300!”
When Taergarien talked about these geniuses, he could not help feel both envy and admiration for them.
“Does the elemental affinity remain unchanged? Does a lower value in elemental affinity translate to a higher failure rate?” Tyrion asked.
“The value for elemental affinity does not remain unchanged. You can improve the affinity through the serum, training, or practicing the refinement of serum,” said Taergarien.
He was a bit surprised by the questions, as he had not expected Tyrion to be so ignorant. In fact, at that moment, he had some doubts in his heart as to whether Tyrion was indeed an apprentice.
He then continued to explain. “In fact, an elemental affinity can’t fully represent the success rate, as anything can be done well with constant practice. However, those with a lower value in elemental talent would need to put in more hard work than those with a higher value.”
He concluded, sharing that, “The elemental talent value determines the maximum limit of one person. A grand master Chemist once said that ‘a genius is made up of one percent of talent, plus ninety-nine percent of sweat. But that one percent of talent is even more important than ninety-nine percent of sweat.'”
When he heard the famous saying, Tyrion suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu.
“I have never checked my elemental talent value. Might it be the same as te attribute value I gained killing people in the virtual world?” Tyrion wondered.
At this point, the elemental talent detection was still in progress, with the majority of the apprentices being detected with values below 50.
Comparing the two camps, the civilian camp had an average value that was ten points higher than that of the noble camp. This showed the gap between the two camps. However, the noble camp definitely did not lack of geniuses with impressively high elemental talent values.
“Finally! It’s Donnie’s turn. Guess how much elemental talent value he has?”
“I bet it’s over 100. He’s the most promising genius in our noble camp.”
“For this Chemist certification examination, Donnie, Kayla, and Prince are 100% capable of passing the examination. It’s just that no one knows who will score the highest!”
“Hmph! Although our noble group has one less person than the civilian group, our group will certainly achieve the highest score.”
For a while, the two groups of people looked at one another, a sense of provocation in their eyes. Tyrion also wondered how much talent Donnie would have.
…
Donnie’s impressive talent in detecting elements caught everyone’s attention immediately. Even the inspections that were going on at the other two sides had stopped, as all were wondering how much Donnie’s talent was worth.
Right then, Donnie went up to the crystal and put his hands on it.
Buzz…
The crystal suddenly lit up and numerous elemental lights flashed inside it.
“It’s such a bright light! It must’ve exceeded 100 points.” Torbjorn sighed.
Everyone else also marveled at the scene, as Donnie’s talent was really strong! At this point, the number on the analyzer kept rising, exceeding 50 points instantly, then soaring to 80 points, followed by 100 points! Finally, it stopped at 121.
These results were followed by cries of surprise.
“He actually got 121 points of talent value!”
“Death Gate City hasn’t had anyone with more than 100 talent value points in decades!”
“It’s very difficult to increase the talent value after hitting 100 points!”
Many apprentices, who were being assessed, were surprised. The noble apprentices’ arrogance was written on their faces, as they looked at the civilian apprentices with disdain. freёwebnovel.com
“Haha, that’s the difference between us and you lowly people, even our genius has more talent than you!”
The civilian apprentices immediately retaliated. “Hmph! What’s there to be proud of? Prince and Kayla from our side have not tested their talent values yet, so whose talent is more outstanding is still yet to be confirmed.”
Donnie looked at Tyrion suddenly, then pointed at him, saying, “That boy.”
Everyone looked to the back, their gazes landing on Tyrion and his group. Torbjorn immediately stepped to the side, distancing himself from Tyrion.
Tyrion looked puzzled and pointed to himself, asking, “Are you talking about me?”
Looking at Tyrion’s silly appearance, everyone could not help but laugh.
“Yes, you! Have you seen my talent? I am the only one good enough for Kayla, and I will not allow garbage like you to have any thoughts of wooing her.” Donnie pointed at Tyrion, arrogant and aggressive.
Tyrion was stunned, all the sudden reminded of another girl from his memory, when he looked at Kayla.
“Well, brother Lickeden, you told us that you were not interested in Kayla, so how do you explain it now?” Glory demanded.
“Ha ha ha, if you like Kayla, go after her! Don’t be scared, just because he is noble.” Vonn laughed.
The misunderstanding only continued to grow. The students on the side of the noble apprentices looked at Tyrion, disdainful expressions on their faces.
“Another fool wanting to pursue Kayla…”
“He dares to go after a girl that Donnie has his eyes on?! Looks like this boy is not afraid of death!”
Tyrion wanted to explain that things were not how they seemed, but did not know how. Then, Kayla looked up at him, her eyes indifferent, and said, “The only thing I like are refining serums. Please stop wasting your time.”
