Meeting Samantha’s Parents [Part 2]

“Were you scared?” Samantha asked, while holding Ethan’s hand. “If I were in your shoes, I would have been very scared.’

“I was,” Ethan replied. “It was a very nerve-wracking experience.”

Samantha sighed. “I can’t imagine what would have happened to you if the Appraising Stone didn’t detect any fluctuation of magic inside your body. Fortunately, you were revealed as a Dud.

“If you had been detected as an Ordinarius, things might have ended differently for you. You got really lucky, Ethan.”

Ethan nodded. “Yes. I got very lucky.”

He then showed the young lady the black bracelet on his wrist.

“Back then, I wasn’t aware that this bracelet saved me,” Ethan said softly. “This bracelet emits a faint pulse of magic power. That was the only reason I managed to pass the appraisal test.”

Ethan then took the bracelet off his wrist, and handed it to Samantha.
