Talent Check

Having passed the entire throne room, the girl kneeled in front of two thrones and lowered her head down, then rose touching the ring and took out a white table.

Going up to the table in the middle of the table there was a small depression where she put the ball after that the ball stopped shimmering in different colors and became white and inside, only mist was visible. The silver-haired girl lowered her head and spoke.

- Your Honor's mana stone is ready for talent testing. The girl said as she stood next to the table.

The Emperor and Empress nodded after that, my older brother Nreu went first, he was twenty years old, he was a self-confident person and believed that in this world there are only concepts of strength and power.

If there is power, but if there is no power, then anyone who has it can take your power, and you can't do anything about it.

Approaching the stone, Nreu put his hand on the stone and closed his eyes, the stone began to change color from white to bright red. Like any power, magic is divided into several branches, as my teacher said, the brighter the color.

The more not only the talent for magic, but the more mana a person has, the color of the stone also means. Which element a person has a predisposition to, basically it is one color but in very rare There may be two cases.

Red means fire, blue means water, gray means earth, and air will be light green. As I understand it, the brother had a large amount of mana for a twenty-year-old in the hall, sighs of admiration were heard from what he saw, Nreu removed his hand from the stone.

Knelt down with his head down, then raised his head and looked at the throne in his blue eyes. Confidence in his abilities was visible, the emperor, and empress looked nodding at him, he got up and again stood behind the thrones next to me.

After my brother came a younger sister, her name was Heya, who was twelve years old, according to the rules. She could pass the test before the age of eighteen only if she had a talent for magic, which she demonstrated to the court magicians.

She was short in stature, there was still childish naivety in her eyes, going up to the table, she put her hand on the stone and after a couple of seconds the stone began to behave strangely.

Part of the stone turned light green and the other part of the stone turned red, everyone stared at the stone in surprise and shock, since both colors were the same wind and fire shone brightly.

Usually even if two talents were manifested, one talent was weaker than the other, but in this situation both talents burned brightly, thus my sister turned out to be a unique talent for the Cray empire.

Removing her hand from the stone, Heya knelt down, lowered her head down, then raised her head and looked at the emperor and empress. They looked into her eyes for a long time, then nodded, thereby allowing her to return to the throne.

She got up from her knee and walked behind the throne and stood next to her brother. The next one was supposed to go.

I felt like I was starting to get nervous, taking a couple of deep breaths and clenching my hands into fists, I headed towards the stone.

On the way, I felt like everyone in the hall was looking at me. The upper part of the clothes began to be soaked with sweat.

Approaching the stone, I put my hand wet with sweat on the stone and closed my eyes, I don't know how the passing of the test should feel and how much time should pass.

The stone was cold to the touch, after waiting a couple of seconds, I opened my eyes and looked at the mana stone.

It remained white without taking on any color, removing my hand from the stone, feeling my heartbeat quicken, moving away from the table, standing in front of the throne, I knelt down and lowered my head.

I was afraid to raise my head and look at the throne, since I already felt contemptuous glances on my back. Raising my head, I looked at the emperor and empress, their eyes did not express anything, either contempt or any emotions.

Getting up from my knees, I walked around the throne and stood next to my brothers and sisters; everyone did not take their eyes off me. Among the many looks, I felt both contempt and hatred. The emperor struck the floor three times with his sword, and all those assembled looked attentively at the throne.
