Bab 529: The five prodigies

John looked at the talisman that Alisa gave him. It had a bit of mana in it, but it wasn't too much. John knew what this was as it was a rather famous talisman that friends and family give to their loved ones to protect them from danger. It actually has a rather nice spell in place, as whenever the holder of the talisman gets hit by an attack that could kill the owner instantly then the talisman would take the damage and be used up. 

Though the talisman had little mana in it, the procedure to make it was rather complicated and required a lot of materials. Just this single talisman must've taken months to create. 

'So that's why she kept on pestering me to lend her money.' 

John started chuckling as he hid the talisman in one of his pockets. He then proceeded to find his seat on the train. He looked around and saw the other prodigies sitting near each other. He noticed that there was a free seat and took it.
