Chapter 260: Test

The atmosphere inside the hall shifted again as silence pervaded the room. I was like a criminal awaiting judgment and this was the day of my trial. In a way, it is. But instead of being an indiscriminate felon, I was being judged whether I'm a saint or not.

Surely, displaying my anima is not enough reason to call me a saint, right? There are other ways to attest to that. Anyway, what are the characteristics of a saint? How would you know someone is a saint?

I was proven correct because the emperor started evaluating me again.

"To be able to conjure an anima, your potential to be strong is apparent." 

The emperor has a positive expression at the moment, the same with Ezekiel and the empress who looked excited.

For the second time, a blush crept to my face. I'm used to being praised but coming from the mouth of the emperor and in front of fairly powerful people, it's kind of embarrassing.
