Chapter 7: New intuition, Pride of a Mother

The old priest's eyes suddenly lit up; what Simon did not know was that the old Doyen is his grandfather. Even though the decision to hide Simon's talent was a bit selfish, he wanted to protect his grandson. The reason he had never visited Simon was that he was in charge of protecting and renewing the forest enchantments, and to the elves, who have a longevity of over 1000 years, seven years is no different from a few days for non-talented ones.

Old Edan was eager to hear any news concerning his son and immediately used projection magic to show the images of the convoy.

Simon noticed that it was the same people as in his vision; he expressed surprise at the idea of knowing that his new father was in his old world.

He replied, "Yes, it's them I saw in my vision; they had been absorbed by something that seemed to be a spatial rift. I saw a rather strange place, but I didn't notice any danger at the other end of the passage."

Grandpa Edan let a smile escape; he had heard a lot of good news today to the point where he couldn't hide his smile anymore.

Simon's talent awakening ceremony had ended with an unexpected turn.

Meanwhile, in the human kingdom of Diffa, Princess Mangou, who was now twelve years old after six years, and had returned from the academy, was facing the king in the training hall.

Princess Mangou, holder of the SSS+ talent Heart of the Swordsman and the S+ talent Intuition, stood facing King Elandor for a training duel. Despite her young age, she was determined to show her competence and bravery to her father, the king.

The two fighters exchanged quick and precise blows, their weapons shining in the torchlight. Princess Mangou was agile and graceful in her movements, wielding her sword with remarkable skill. On the other side, King Elandor was a formidable opponent, his strength and experience evident in every move.

The duel was intense, each blow holding the promise of victory. Princess Mangou managed to hold her own against her father, using her exceptional intuition to anticipate his movements. However, at a crucial moment in the fight, she became distracted, allowing the king to successfully land a blow.

Recognizing the opportunity, King Elandor gently disarmed his daughter with a benevolent smile. He approached her cautiously, placing a hand on her shoulder to reassure her. "You're doing very well, my dear Mangou," he said proudly, "but don't forget to stay focused until the end. That's where the true strength of a warrior lies."

Mangou was not in the mood to justify or debate with the king; she said, "Something important happened in Agadez, in the elves' kingdom."

Elandor immediately took on a serious tone: "Could you elaborate more?"

He immediately thought that perhaps the Elves had found the artifact that appeared six years ago.

As her intuition had developed more compared to six years ago, she replied, "I'm not really sure, but I feel like something that could destroy the kingdom appeared there."

King Elandor frowned, absorbing his daughter's words with intense attention. He understood the importance of news from the elven kingdom of Agadez and knew that events there could have repercussions on their own kingdom.

"Thank you for informing me, Mangou," he said, his voice filled with gravity. "I will send emissaries to investigate what is happening in Agadez. In the meantime, stay on your guard and make sure you're ready to act if needed."

Mangou nodded, understanding the urgency of the situation. She knew she had to be ready to face any challenge that came to their kingdom, whether on the battlefield or in the diplomatic arena.

King Elandor gave her an encouraging smile before leaving the training hall, his mind already planning the next steps to protect their kingdom from external threats.

Simon was back home after the ceremony, feeling more or less excited; after all, his talents seemed to allow him to accomplish almost anything.

He also knew that his mother must be at the top of the tree, a little worried about him and waiting for him.

As he had anticipated, Simon found his mother at the top of the tree waiting for him. Simon wanted to ask her if she had been a sniper in her previous life, but he knew it was just a habit of most elves.

After the greetings, Simon saw that his mother seemed to have expectations regarding his talent. Although the elf priests had asked Simon not to reveal his talent to anyone, Simon had refused concerning his mother; she had the right to know. After all, it would bother him to hide a secret that many people knew but not his mother; it would be a sign of lack of trust, although it might appear in some cases to be protecting her. But he knew that her knowing his true ability would give her more peace of mind.

He said, "I know how eager you are to know what my talent is; I actually awakened two talents." Lana let out an "Oh," and Simon continued, "The biggest thing in all of this is that one is an SS+ Rank talent and the other is an EX Mythical Rank." Simon, who was hot inside but cold on the outside, finished with a somewhat proud smile.

Lana was so surprised that she didn't utter a word or take a breath for a minute; if it had been in Simon's previous life, she would have already fainted, probably.

Simon then told her about the effects of his powers, which was surprising to her considering that his powers would make Simon almost or even omnipotent.

He also told her about the vision he had had, which brought tears to her eyes; it had been six years since she had heard from her husband; it was worrying, although she did not know in what condition he was, but Simon reassured her by saying that he had not seen any threat towards them with his Eye of Wisdom, She was proud of her son.
