Chapter 54 Talent Test

Derian stared at the boy in front of him scrutinizingly.

To be honest, when he found out that the special recruitment quota he had given to the third princess was given to someone else by the third princess, Derian was still a little disappointed.

His original intention in granting Emmet a special admission quota was to allow Emmet to enter the academy directly and receive the protection of the School of Magic without having to get involved in the royal struggle.

After all, in Deren's opinion, the third princess had a good talent for magic. If she was willing, considering the good relationship he had with her mother in the past, Deren could accept her as a student.

But who would have thought that the third princess did not do so, but instead ran away to other countries alone.

This time, after finally coming back, she gave the special recruitment spot that Derian had given her to an unknown boy.

Derian didn't care who the boy was or who he was. He was just a little disappointed that Amy didn't accept his kindness.

As a result, I had a very bad impression of Li Qi.

In his opinion, Li Qi in front of him was probably another noble who wanted to take the back door.

Although there are not many such nobles in the academy, there are quite a few, and Derian has seen many of them.

Compared to other professors who threw untalented nobles into the academy for a little profit, Derian had always been a person who adhered to the "academy tradition".

Only a magician with talent is worthy of becoming a student of the academy and his disciple.

So Derian has decided that if the boy in front of him is not talented enough, he will simply find another mentor for him.

This way, he wouldn't become enemies with Amy, nor would he get himself tarnished.

Derian thought as he watched the young man in front of him place his hand on the crystal ball.

Although he didn't think the boy was very talented, since Amy recommended him, Derian still paid more attention to him.

The crystal ball talent test is a traditional test method in England.

The talent level can be distinguished according to the different colors.

At the beginning, it was colorless, which meant that the crystal ball had no color, which was a sign of having no magical talent.

After colorless, various colors will appear on the crystal ball.

A single color represents average talent, just an ordinary mage.

The appearance of two colors indicates some excellent talents.

The appearance of three colors represents genius.

Four colors or more means you are a peerless genius that only appears once in a century!

Derian decided that as long as the boy could make three colors appear in the crystal ball, he would make him his disciple.

After all, his only student, Joe, only has three colors of talent.

Derian thought about it and his eyes fell on the crystal ball in the boy's hand. However, this one glance almost made him pull his beard off.

The crystal ball in the boy's hand began to shine with colorful light not long after he put his hand on it.

The rainbow light illuminated Drion, framing his stunned face.

It also made him subconsciously pull his hand that was touching his beard downwards -

"Ouch."

The beard was in trouble after all, but Drien didn't care about that.

He just turned and looked at the blue-eyed boy with fanatical eyes.

The expression and look were as if one had seen the reincarnated god of magic.

…

Um, I almost forgot to ask them how to view talent...

After putting his hand on the crystal ball, Li Qi remembered that he did not ask them how they viewed talent.

Uno's talent test is simple and easy to understand. The number of lights that are on indicates the amount of magic talent you have.

But this crystal ball... the colorful lights it emitted made Li Qi dizzy.

Is it better to have more colors or fewer colors? Could it be that according to this crystal ball test, my talent is ridiculously poor?

For example, the five kinds of spiritual roots in the novels about cultivating immortals?

But it shouldn't be like that. It's true that Uno's magic level is lower than England's, but in terms of detecting talent, he shouldn't be too far behind.

It doesn't make sense that Li Qi was a genius in Uno, but became a loser in England.

Besides, the loser style is not popular nowadays.

Li Qi thought about it and glanced at Joe and Drien, observing their expressions.

When he saw the extremely shocked expressions on the two people's faces, Li Qi realized that he was wrong.

Having many colors is precisely a sign of high talent, otherwise these two people would not have such expressions.

Thinking of this, Li Qi smiled shyly and asked the other Derian:

"…Professor? How is my talent? It shouldn't be too bad, right?"

"Difference?"

Derian seemed to be still in a daze, mumbling to himself, but he soon came to his senses and said excitedly: "How can it be bad? How can it be bad! Your talent... your talent...!!"

Derian closed his mouth again in the middle of his speech, staring at Li Qi, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Kiri, professor, no last name."

"Kiri...Kiri...Okay, Kiri, wait here for me and don't go anywhere! Do you hear me? Don't go anywhere! Qiao, keep an eye on your little brother!"

After Derian finished speaking, he didn't care about the other's reactions and hurriedly ran out of the alchemy room, leaving only Li Qi and Joe staring at each other.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In line with his "country bumpkin" personality, Li Qi put on an innocent expression and asked Qiao:

"Senior, what happened to my talent? Why does the professor have this attitude?"

“…”

Joe opened his mouth slightly.

Li Qi's question made Mr. Qiao feel that the other party was taking advantage of him.

But when he saw the other person's 'innocent' eyes, Qiao felt that he might be overthinking.

He was silent for a long time, and said quietly:

"…Your talent…is great."

"How good?"

"Let me tell you this. The higher the talent, the more colors the crystal ball has. At first, I only lit up three colors. You..."

You've turned into a rainbow!

Qiao didn't say the rest of the sentence, but he complained in his heart.

At the same time, his smile disappeared and he sighed in his heart.

At that time, he had three-color talent, and his teacher was very happy. Joe himself also felt that his talent was very good.

After all, in the entire academy, there are only a few people with four-color talents.

Those with three-color talents are also considered geniuses in the academy.

Most students only have one or two colors of talent, or in other words, most of the people in this world who have the qualifications of a magician have only one or two colors of talent.

As a result, now...

A rainbow-colored gifted monster popped up here.

Qiao's thoughts were very complicated, and he looked at Li Qi with envy and a hint of jealousy.

Li Qi, who learned about the talent divisions of the crystal ball from Joe, turned his attention to the crystal ball.

He placed his hand on the crystal ball again, looked at the seven-color rainbow light that lit up on it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The super power was activated, and the flow of magic power in the crystal ball was clearly visible to Li Qi.

He looked at the intricate flow of magic power inside, and suddenly he understood something.

Seven colors... is just the limit of the crystal ball.

Rather than Li Qi's own limits.

The magical structure inside this crystal ball is actually very simple. There are seven different lines inside. The more colors there are, the more complex the lines are.

The way it detects magic power is to use the magic seed in the crystal ball to enter the body of the person being tested and operate along a specific magic route.

Then return to the crystal ball and replicate the route of the magic power running in the body into the circuit inside the crystal ball.

The higher the talent, the higher the magic lines that can be replicated. However, if the talent is so high that it exceeds the replication limit of the crystal ball, then the crystal ball can only display seven colors at most.

According to this statement, Li Qi's magical talent might be even higher than he imagined.

This magical talent that far exceeds that of ordinary people may be his "exclusive ability" in this life.
