Stepping In

As Rean went back with Clansto, he took the chance to ask. "Senior Clansto. What is this competition about? Do we have our talent checked?"

"Talent checked?" Clansto's confusion was evident. "Was there such a thing from where you came from?"

Rean was taken aback. Even in the most remote settlements in the mortal realm of Lisan Universe, the talent check was a common thing. How come they don't have it here? "Errr... More or less. They checked who could run the furthest or who could lift the heaviest weights, things like that. They said it was to check the talent."

Obviously, Rean didn't mention about the Talent Checking Orbs. Who knows if the orbs were something from the Lisan Universe only? Talking about them might only cause trouble for himself, so he came up with that excuse.
