Shocking Talent

In a second, a gray line of Sword Qi power arose from the center of Hayato's palm. A bit of his Magical Aura leaked through the air, discharging to all other students his sharp, refined presence.

Seeing the strand of Sword Qi and feeling that leakage of his Magical Aura already got the other students to be impressed.

Hayato's Sword Qi power appeared to be in complete control by him!

When other students would go off, showcasing their own Soul's essence, their Magical Powers would appear to be in a slight uncontrollable state. Nearly all students would need to focus just to keep their Magical Powers under control.

But for Hayato, he looked all too casual with his Magical Power. It was like he had already used Sword Qi for countless years, already becoming highly proficient with it.

Furthermore, there was also that tiny leak of his Magical Aura.

Even from the tiny bit of his power, many newly awakened Spirit Tier students felt a considerable pressure. Their eyes began to widen a bit; they nearly couldn't believe it.

Just a miniature portion of his power could already suppress them!

Even Reese and Kyle knitted their eyebrows under the small portion of Hayato's Magical Aura. They didn't feel as much pressure as others, but they already consider this guy as a dangerous force.

All the while students were undergoing silent awe, Hayato was ready to test his Talent. Amazingly enough, he didn't even need to look back, yet he knows that his small portion of Magical Aura caused a slight storm.

With his confidence already rising from that, Hayato had then flicked his strand of Sword Qi Power towards the Talent Stone, striking it right at its center. His Soul's essence ran through the Talent Stone, quickly infusing deep within it.

The students watching him waited with a slight bated breath on Hayato's result. Their curiosity grew greater from Hayato's aura and control.

And after only a couple of seconds, the Talent Stone glowed in a slightly dark blue tint. The slight dark blue tint color indicated Hayato's Talent is at the Late Stage of the Spirit Tier realm.

This was the expected norm for students; nobody was impressed by that.

But, in the next split second, the Talent Stone changed its tint to a complete, harsh dark-shaded blue glow!

Now it showed Hayato would be a Peak Stage Spirit Tier cultivator in the future. And with someone that holds a rare Magical Power like his, everyone thought this was to be expected.

At this point, the students watching thought this would be it. However, only a second afterward, a change caught wind of nearly everyone's attention in the field.

"Wait….wait, Hayato's Talent Stone is still lighting up!"

Everyone watched with increasing awe as Hayato's Talent Stone gradually shifted to another shade of color altogether.

In just a few seconds, his Talent Stone transitions towards a light green glow!

"Whoa!!"

There was an immediate uproar throughout the whole field—disbelief, shock, amazement, and awe course through nearly all students.

"No way! Origin Tier Talent?!"

"That's good enough for the Ranking List!"

"Wait….it's still not done?!"

Even as students were still experiencing awe, Hayoto's Talent Stone wasn't done at all.

In just a couple of seconds, it transitions to a normal tint of green, a slightly darker shade of green, and finally, a complete dark shade of green!

Once it landed on the dark shade of green, complete silence permeated throughout the entire field. From students to even some Professors on stage, they all was in disbelief over Hayato's Talent.

A complete dark shade of green was only a feat the high-up Ranking Students could achieve!

Hayato's Talent was equal to the Peak Stage Origin Tier realm!

This means Hayato has an unshakable potential to not only just make it on the Ranking List but also get very high up on it.

Everyone was just about to come down from their disbelieving awe and cause a ruckus over Hayato's incredible Talent. But right then, another change happens in the Talent Stone that made students and Professors alike go rigid once again.

Flickers of yellow light began sparking out of the Talent Stone, indicating that it indeed was about to go even higher.

It didn't happen as instantaneously as with the other talent level. However, it was still shocking that the yellow light was flickering out.

A quiet murmur began to sound out from the students; nearly all of them felt their brain lagging from what could possibly happen.

"This….this….is he really going to-"

Before anyone could finish their thoughts, the Talent Stone entirely changed.

Under everyone's eyes, the Talent Stone changed into a complete light-tinted yellow glow!

"WOAA!!!"

A more massive uproar than last time exploded within the students. This yellow glow meant one tremendous feat.

Hayaoto was a genuine Earth Tier Talent! Only the top Ranking Genius students had ever achieved this kind of outstanding Talent!

Furthermore, this Talent goes even beyond just Hyaoto's rare Magical Power. He is quite literally predestined for an incredible future. To his comprehension abilities, battle potential, and Mana control, all of it would undoubtedly be high in the future.

"This….this….how can anyone of us compete with that?!"

"I can't believe there's yet another Earth Tier talent in our very Academy…."

"Oh man….the end of the year will be intense!"

At this point, nearly all students had their mindset on Hayato as the new uprising genius. Asher's achievement in beating Zara was almost instantly thrown from student's minds.

An Earth Tier talent tells everyone far more about Hayato's prowess than a mere duel.

For nearly over half of the population in Pearlcrest City, which spills over into the several million, the average folk wouldn't even be able to achieve the Mid Stage Spirit Tier level.

The common students of Balreth Academy were only slightly better as even in the General Job classes, they had hope in achieving Mid Stage Spirit Tier level.

While most Competition year students can even achieve the Late Stage Spirit Tier level.

The ones who could achieve the next realm, the Origin Tier realm, would be youths who all came from exceptionally well-off backgrounds and had a decently high talent.

These youths don't need to participate in the Balreth Academy awakening ceremony as their own families have the means to perform their own ceremony at home.

And in nearly all of these families, they have the resources to make their children System's awakening even more powerful than what Balreth Academy can achieve.

Just being at the Early Stage of the Origin Tier realm would be enough to garner respect throughout their whole City.

In their dangerous world where there's a continuous struggle against Mana Monsters and other enemy nations, power is one of, if not the most valuable thing.

And if one can truly become an Earth Tier powerhouse, that kind of strength would be enough to be revered by most areas in the entire Pearlcrest City.

"Earth Tier talent, huh. Reese….Can Asher possibly match up to something like this?." Kylee had whispered to Reese, her expression a mix of shock and concern.

Even as everyone was fawning over Hyaoto's supreme Talent, her mind was still centered on Asher.

No matter the conflicting thoughts she may have about him, she still wanted him to succeed in life. And it appeared as he may have another tremendous roadblock in front of him.

Reese quietly gripped his hand, his eyes never leaving off from Hayato. "Yea….I mean, I can't even believe it. Didn't this guy show up at the ceremony too? He's from a common background like us, yet his Talent is far superior to all of us. But Kylee….you know what I truly think?"

Kylee took her gaze off from Hayato in an instant, giving Reese an honest, curious look.

Reese had then said in a firm voice, "I still have faith in Asher. No matter what he achieves, it won't be normal or even just slightly special."

Kylee slowly turned their head back around. Reese's words roamed about in her mind, and she couldn't help but nod. "Yea….yea! There's just no way he'll so easily lose out!"

Over at the Ranking Genius Students side, they all couldn't contain their bewilderment either.

Dane had his gaze intently focused on Hayato as he said, "So even out of the common bunch, we really did see something worthy of our attention."

"Indeed. I'm more taken aback than Asher's duel." Leon said with genuine shock in his tone. Though Asher's prowess surprised him, Hayato had just taken it to the next level.

Moreover, Hayato didn't come from a wealthy background like them; he really just had a common background!

"There won't be a dull moment for this Competition year…." Chase added his own opinion, being in genuine awe.

While the boys discussed Hayato's Talent, Daisy, who was similarly shocked, felt her curiosity got the better of her.

She peered over to Elsa, wanting to see if she would finally have a change in expression. But, even with all the excitement flowing through the air Elsa was as indifferent as ever.

It was like another Earth Tier talent didn't concern her in the slightest.

Although, as Daisy thought more about it, she guessed this really wouldn't be of any concern to Elsa. 'After all….she achieved a legend supposedly very few accomplished in this Academy lifetime….'

Contrary to what everyone else was thinking, Elsa really only had one thought in mind. She only spared a passing glance at Hayato's Earth Tier talent.

Her gaze was kept clear, but her mind was thinking, 'It's going to be late….just what's taking you so long?'

The only anticipation Elsa felt for this entire event was waiting for her stubborn boyfriend to come. And she wasn't worried about his results at all, already having a solid faith in Asher's Talent simply being incredible.
