Novel Full Chapter 203: Very Low Talent!
No one was very surprised by her dismissive words, as everyone was used to Kayla’s cold attitude.
“Hum! What are you guys laughing at? Lickeden came in with a letter of recommendation! How many of you are a match for him?” Prince looked at the group of nobles, sneering.
The nobles, who had been laughing at Tyrion, became silent, as if their throats had been gripped and choked. The civilian apprentices knew how hard it was to get a letter of recommendation, so they knew that Tyrion had to have quite a lot of talent, at least much more than most of them!
“So, you have a letter of recommendation… No wonder you dared to hit on Kayla. But, you’re still no match for me.” Donnie sneered at him.
Donnie then walked down to the test station, as the others continued to detect their talent values. That scene was only a small episode, which luckily had no effect whatsoever on the subsequent assessment.
But now, the noble apprentices were all wondering where Tyrion had come from, as they had never heard of such a genius before. At the same time, they were all curious as to whether Tyrion would be Donnie’s match.
Soon, it was Kayla’s turn. Everyone was also curious about the value of Kayla’s elemental talent.
“If she hadn’t been seriously ill last year, she would have already have become a certified Chemist by now. I heard that her F-grade success rate has already reached three percent.”
“Kayla is definitely a genius. But, I don’t know how she’ll compare to Donnie.”
With all eyes upon her, Kayla put her hand on the crystal.
Buzz…
The crystal shone brilliantly, even brighter than it had with Donnie. It shone in a variety of colors, but black and white were the most prominent. The score on the analytical instrument was also starting to soar.
“Wow, a score of 139!”
“Goodness!”
People could not help but exclaim in awe at this number, as Donnie had just set a high score of 121, but Kayla had overtaken him!
“She’s got 139 points, after just one year! Kayla has improved!”
“That’s amazing! It looks like no one will be able to exceed this figure this year.”
This time, neither the nobles nor the civilian apprentices provoked each other, because Kayla was not officially aligned with either camp. However, her talent exceeded Donnie’s, which inevitably created quite a sensation.
When Donnie saw Kayla’s talent value, his eyes shone with even more admiration for her. As the assessment went on, all of the other geniuses with letters of recommendation only got talent values of up to 85.
Soon, it was Tyrion’s turn. As Prince began to examine his talent, his appearance caused quite a lot of controversy.
“Is that Prince? I’ve heard that he’s only 16, but has already succeeded in raising the success rates of four types of F-grade serums to two percent!”
“Donnie is already 21! And, as he is only 16, there is still much room for further growth!”
Youth was the greatest capital, after all. Prince, for example, was not as good as Donnie and Kayla in some aspects, but he was still young, so by the time he reached their ages, he might be better than them all!
Buzz!
The crystal ball lit up again. It was as bright as Donnie’s, but the elements in it were far more colorful. The scores on analytical instruments began to soar, finally landing on the number 120!
In that instant, cries of surprise and sighs of awe filled the room.
“Wow! Just a little bit more and he’ll surpass Donnie!” one of the civilian apprentices said, full of regret.
“He got 120 points! He’s so talented, it won’t be long before he catches up with Donnie.” The noble apprentices were all surprised.
Prince walked over to the resting area with a proud look on his face, looking at Donnie provocatively.
“Little child, even if you’re talented, that is far from being enough.” Donnie sneered at him, not caring about Prince.
As a noble, he had access to resources that were unattainable by others. So, Prince’s talent truly was not enough. If Donnie could not get his hands on resources, Prince’s talents would be useless. This was one of the reasons why noble Chemists had always looked down on civilian Chemists.
After Prince had finished, it was Tyrion’s turn. At this moment, the eyes of the crowd could not help but turn to Tyrion, a guy with a letter of recommendation, who had dared to compete with Donnie for Kayla’s heart!
…
All eyes were on Tyrion. He was a little nervous, as he had no idea what his talent would be ranked as. The reason why he could refine the serum was all thanks to the teaching of the Heart of the Universe.
As he placed his big hands on top the crystal ball, Tyrion suddenly felt a strange force flow into it. The energy was somewhat different from ‘DUST’, as it seemed more nuanced and familiar, almost similar to the pull he got from generating the wind talent.
Buzz buzz…..
The crystal ball was illuminated and dotted fluorescent lights were flashing forth from it, like a dazzling firefly! Tyrion’s elemental talent value was quickly reported on the instrument:
5 points!
The audience was silent for a while, then the noble apprentices simultaneously burst into fits of laughter.
“Hahaha, 5 points! Only 5 points!”
“With just his little bit of talent, he dares to have a crush on Kayla! Is he crazy or what?”
“Ha, a 5 points elemental talent value is the lowest among everyone here!”
“His letter of recommendation must have been forged or stolen, as who would give a letter of recommendation to such a garbage talent?”
Faced with the ridicule of the noble apprentices, the civilian apprentices could only endure it with their faces blushed. They felt truly ashamed.
Just now, Prince was still speaking up for Tyrion, trying to prove that Tyrion was a talented person. But now, he felt as if he had been punched in the face.
But, the fact remained that Tyrion’s elemental talent value was definitely the lowest among those present. Even Prince was stunned to see him attain such an underwhelming number of points.
“Brother Lickeden, did you not display your true power?” Clay asked carefully.
Tyrion shrugged and said, “This is all of the talent I have. I can’t help it.”
