Admonishment and Talent test.

They all shudder for a moment as their dantians form in their souls.

I grin and say, "I trust all of you."

as they look at me like I'm a dumbass and Najenda immediately starts into me, "Are you stupid?! Why the hell would you trust us with one of your cheat powers even if its a lesser version?"

Mine, bulat, and Lubbock just stare at me.

Mine with confusion, bulat with bewilderment, and Lubbock with a grin on his face and a thumbs up which he quickly hides.

Tatsumi looks around at the tense situation and just shrugs. "cool. New power. How do I use it?"

Akame Ignores Tatsumi and stares into my eyes then nods at Najenda's point., "What if we were taking advantage of you. Or what if we would become an enemy in the future."

Sheele just stares at me blankly, not saying anything.

Leone looks at me with apprehension, and shows a rare vulnerable look. "Look, i know we've been nice to you. but why the hell would you give up an advantage like that?"

Chris goes upstairs, clearly not wanting to talk at all.

Yunyun looks around and tries to defend me. "I don't know why he did it either, but I'm sure he has a good reason to trust you guys! I mean, I trust you a lot too. we've fought the evil guys together, and killed a bunch of rotten monsters in human skin. so doesn't that mean anything?"

Darkness looks me dead in the eyes with her teigu. "I feel you may trust us in error, I will repeat what Akame said. What if we were trying to take advantage of you?"

"I kinda left out that if any of you betray me I can literally take your cultivation for myself. it's in the essence description so..." I shrug.

Akame interrupts me "Even with the dead mans switch like that. If i were to slice at you fast enough, what would you do?"

"I would defend myself long enough to stop you and then you wouldn't be able to hurt me anymore. So it's a moot point." I frown, trying to explain myself.

all of them shake their heads besides yunyun.

Chris comes back and shrugs. and she speaks to me for the first time. "What's done is done, he has good reason to trust us after all. We're in this together."

I grin and shout, "Good! it's time to test your talent levels!"

-Five more minutes of arguing later.-

"Talents go like this, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, silver, gold, white gold, Immortal, celestial, and cosmic. Each level higher is a faster level of training by 2x Immortal celestial and cosmic all have no bottlenecks. The Essence grants the drinker cosmic talent, but if I give someone else their ability to cultivate, they all have random talents."

Sheele is the first to come up and give me her hand. She smiles and I'm stunned at how pretty her smiles is only to snap out of it at lightning speed. Thank you, Thought acceleration.

She doesn't notice my slip and I grab her arm and check her talent.

"Celestial talent already? nice. I say, grinning."

Darkness is next, "Nice, white gold." she nods and goes back in line.

Chris comes up next to me and shrugs. She tries to hide her celestial talent, and I allow her to play her game. She shows me a blue talent, and she stares into my eyes, daring me to say anything else. "Nice, blue." I say, not wanting to be smited from on high. after all, Eris still has her divine powers.

Bulat comes up and I wince, "Yellow, sorry bro." He shrugs, and goes back in line "It's fine."

Lubbock comes up next and I check him, "White gold, nice."

I hold out a fist and Lubbock bumps it with a grin.

Yunyun comes closer and holder her hand out with a grin. since I already told her earlier. "Yunyun, you already know yours is Celestial, get back in line, I chide with a laugh."

she pouts at me and goes back. "I wanted you to announce it and congratulate me again."

I grin, "Congrats, Yunyun, now, shoo shoo."

She frowns and stomps away.

"Your talent is Red, tatsumi, Sorry."

"Mine, I'm sorry to tell you this but your talent is yellow."

Najenda comes up and I wince, "It's red." she sighs, and then sits in her chair sadly.

Then Akame comes in, looking at me with hope. "Wow, Celestial, Didn't think there would be three in the same room."

Leone is last but certainly not least. "how the hell are there so many celestial talents eh? what the hell." I ask, and she pumps her fist

I shrug, this can't go horribly wrong at all.
