Bab 211: Absurd Ability

Arthur had seen the zeal of passing this test in Jonah's eyes firsthand. He knew how much he wanted to pass and knew how tempting the new surge of power was. After all, he had experienced it countless times with his Release rune. 

Jonah looked at his palm with a stoic expression, clenching his hand into a fist as he enjoyed the surge in power. He then glanced upward and looked at the crystal hovering mid-air. 

"This is a test, right?" He turned to Arthur and asked. Arthur simply shrugged as he answered.

"It might be, but the stakes are the same." 

"I'll probably get accepted into Jerano if I become the first to pass the second test," Jonah told Arthur and the latter nodded. 

"You would." Arthur smiled. "So, what's your choice?" 

"Well, I don't know you much. I don't know you at all. It has been literal hours since we met." 

"True." Arthur nodded his head, disappointment pooling into his heart.
