Kapitel 28: Revelation and Shock [part 3]
"Don't waste your talent," the nanny insisted, fixing me with a gaze that conveyed the importance of her words.
"What you have is a rare basic martial talent, and along with it, you also have resources that allow you to have such vitality that you can perform both phases simultaneously, and an unusually powerful soul. So it's only right that you use and make the most of what you have to become stronger."
As she spoke, the nanny approached the next control panel with measured steps, while her hands danced over the keys with the precision of a maestro about to reveal another hidden mystery.
Then, she read another panel that displayed a summary of the lineage's talent.
Only to scoff at it and look directly at the data.
"Ugh," she murmured, almost overwhelmed by the scope of what was presented before her.
It was clear that the information defied her expectations. And, although her brain could make sense of what she saw, she didn't want to understand it.
Then she read the short list of elemental affinities and talents again.
With an almost mechanical gesture, she went over the list of my affinities.
"Maybe I read it wrong the first time," she whispered to herself, trying to make sense of those revelations.
And so, with her eyes fixed on the screen again, she reread the list, looking for confirmation in that second glance.
"Another impressive piece of news?"
The nanny nodded slowly, still absorbed in the data that continued to scroll on the screen.
"Yes, another discovery that exceeds all expectations," she said with a voice slightly trembling from shock.
"What is it?"
"It says here that you have an affinity with blood, life, soul, death, darkness, devouring, decay, destruction, and massacre. And they are all at a divine level," she replied with a visibly trembling voice.
"What? It must be a joke, right?" "I'm disappointed that you can joke about something so important. What are they really? And what is their true grade?" I asked with feigned indignation.
I asked these questions, not because I didn't know that those were really my affinities, but because if I didn't pretend to be surprised, the nanny might become suspicious and wonder if I somehow knew.
So it was important to show such a reaction.
After all, how could anyone not think this was a joke?
There are 5 grades of talents.
From lowest to highest there is low, medium, high, top, and divine talent.
Where the divine level, also called the transcendent level of talent, can only be found in children with bloodlines.
That's why most of them will easily reach the transcendent level.
Although it was expected that at least one top-level talent and at most one divine-level talent would appear in Schadet, despite him having no bloodline, but only because he is the son of the current patriarch Ryushin, who was born with 1 divine affinity and 1 top, expecting him to have nine of that level was simply absurd.
What else could it be if not a joke?
The nanny was speechless.
She had been accused of making a joke about something so important.
Shortly thereafter, however, she recovered and her gaze became more determined.
"It's no joke," she said with a certainty that left no room for doubt.
"These data are the result of precise analysis and cannot be questioned. Your affinities are real, and their divine grade is a truth that you will be able to see for yourself after seeing the machine's results, if you think I'm joking with you."
"And this is allowed only because I understand your disbelief, given that even I struggled to believe it for a moment."
Then, she approached the panel again, her eyes following every line of text attentively.
"The machine has been calibrated with the utmost precision and uses advanced algorithms to analyze every aspect of your being," she explained.
"It is equipped with sensors that detect the subtlest energy fluctuations and translate them into comprehensible data. It does not just measure elemental affinities but also explores the depths of your soul and your vital essence."
"So, the results..." I began, trying to assimilate the implications.
"Are an accurate reflection of your innate potential," the nanny concluded. "I, as an operator, merely interpret and present these data. The machine provides the information, but it is up to the operators, and you, to make sense of what is revealed."
"But how can I have such talents without a bloodline?" I asked, still trying to understand the extent of what she was telling me.
"This I simply do not know either," admitted the nanny, "so we will wait until everything is finished before coming to a conclusion. Something could still happen that dispels our doubts."
They didn't have to wait long.
The machine emitted a beep to indicate that the evaluation had been performed.
So, the nanny looked at the screen again, where the data confirmed that the evaluation had been performed correctly.
Thus, they left the evaluation room and were taken to another room where they had to choose the refinement techniques to practice.
The information acquired from the machine will be used to query the technique database, and the compatible ones will be selected for practice.
The Ryushin family has a relatively long history, so it has acquired numerous refinement techniques.
They are the treasures of the family because they are the condensation of the refinement experience of numerous elders and family people who have ascended to true immortality.
But choosing the refinement technique to practice is a very important matter.
The wrong one can massacre the future of an incompatible user.
Things usually go well when choosing a refinement technique, as there is always a compatible technique for everyone.
Where in the worst case, the technique may require expensive materials if you have particularly rare affinities, due to the use of particularly expensive materials.
Since the techniques themselves are expensive, but they are granted free of charge to all descendants and family members.
Things went well this way until it came time to select a refinement technique for Schadet.
There was no optimal technique for him.
The available techniques can only satisfy up to four combinations of affinities at most, while he had nine divine-level talents.
"Your case is unique on this planet, probably in this entire sector. So, you will have to use the basic training method."
Said the nanny, explaining the lack of options to me.
