Chapter 47: An Unknown Talent

When Anna placed her hand on the glowing orb, the seconds stretched out as if time itself had decided to pause.

All eyes were fixed on her, waiting for the orb to emit the familiar blue, red, or silver glow—the colors all the children had come to associate with magic, swordsmanship, or those without talent.

However, what happened next was something no one anticipated.

The orb began to glow, but not in the usual way.

The initial glow was faint, as if it hesitated to reveal its true nature.

Then, the light intensified, but instead of being blue, red, or any other known color, it was... green.

A bright, intense green, something completely unexpected.

Murmurs began to ripple through the room.

"Green?" Paul whispered, squinting as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"What does that mean?" David asked, clearly confused, while other children stared open-mouthed.
