Help! I don't want to NTR the protagonist!

Chapter 36 36. Talent

?

The examiners that nearly made Sanctuary lose such a talent were still seen as a joke to this day.

Naturally, with such a bad example in front of them, no one wanted to join those ranks and foolishly smear their reputation and get slapped in the face.

With the instruction of the examiners, Lucius walked over to the talent testing device.

He knew that all his previous results were mediocre, so he knew the importance of this next test.

This was by far the most important one yet

After all, there's a saying that hard work beats talent. But what if there's a genius who also works hard? How can anyone compete?

This was especially true in a world like this, where talents were hard, measurable things.

Simply put, in this world, a person's talent was everything.

As for stories where a person born with no talent rose up from the bottom and counter-attacked the world? Sorry, but there was simply no such thing!

You were either born with or gained a talent. There were no two ways about it

It was impossible for someone without a talent to beat someone that did.

That's why talent measuring was the most important aspect of the assessment.

The reason that talents had to be measured again was that in this world, not all talents were made equal.

Sometimes even talents with the same name would have different grades, so checking the quality of each talent was imperative.

Since talents were a core aspect of this world role the ability and devices to detect talents had been wildly developed, but it was still impossible for the extremely fine and detailed talent checkers to be distributed to all villages.

Most villages and low ranking nobles only had the most basic talent checkers that could identify the abilities and names of the talent, but didn't give a clear example of the quality and strength of the talent.

Of course, some talents could even be identified without specific talent checkers

For example, everyone knows how exceptional and amazing talents like Sword Master and Master of Mana are but that's not because the basic talent checkers could identify their grades but because the legends passed down about such exp rip all talents were too widespread so that even backwater villages would know the grades of this talent.

Talents in this world could be divided into different grades based on the colour they emit from talent checkers

From lowest to highest the colours were as followed

White

Green

Blue

Purple

Golden

A golden grade talent was enough for anyone to leave a mark in a generation like sword master and the such whilst white grade talents were just average talents that could be found amongst low rank soldiers and hunters.

As Lucius's hands hovered over the crystal ball, he found that he was a little nervous. He didn't know when, but his breath became a little shallow and his palms became sweaty.

He had used the power of a demon to forge a fake talent, but he was still nervous after all.

It was like trying to fly with a fake passport

No matter how much the broker reassured you the fake was a full proof and nobody would see through it, it was still a fake at the end of the day.

Still, Lucius knew now wasn't the time to hesitate. If it failed, it failed. He had tried his best, and that was he could do

"Ahh.. fuck it!"I think you should take a look at

As he said this, Lucius placed his hand on the crystal ball .

As Lucius dropped his hand, the crystal ball began to glow.

The group of examiners watched in awe as the crystal ball lit up in various different colours

White!

Green!

Blue!

Purple!

Golden!

But even after reaching the golden colour, the crystal ball didn't stop there!

The crystal began to shake as a dazzling wave of golden light poured out our as stream of golden sparks started to burst out

Seeing this shocking sight, the examiners could stay still and directly jumped out of their seats

What is this!

Even the lead examiners in the centre had to adjust his glasses to make sure what he was seeing was seeing correctly.

And after blinking a few times and rubbing his eyes he confirmed that what he was seeing was real

This wasn't just any gold grade talent that they were seeing, it was a talent that shows signs of surpassing golden grade. So if cultivated well, it could directly go and reach the level beyond golden.

It was the level that left everyone in awe.

A level directly reserved for the major noble families and the few select chosen.

Hero Grade!

The grade of talents only those specifically chosen by God could reach.

Knowing this, the examiners couldn't remain calm.

Hell! Even Lucius himself couldn't stay calm.

'What on earth was going on?' thought Lucius

Since he was the wine who designed his fake talents, he knew the standards that he set extremely well.

He just wanted to make a talent that would make himself seem a bit talented and allow for him to join the same class as the main heroines.. he never wanted to do something so dazzling that would draw too much attention

Even if he had confidence in his system, there was never anything wrong with being a hit low-key. After all, his talent was fake. It was all just a big scam!

It was okay to scam people quietly, but how could you launch such a scam with such great fanfare?

You would only do such a thing if your brain was utterly broken!

If the expectation was too high, he could only come crashing down when he failed to meet them!

Just what the hell happened to his path of low-key development?

Aggrieved, Lucius turned to look at the panel.
