Chapter 21 A class above
” Ronan Draco , level 27 ! ” , declared Ronan as silence enveloped the entire arena for a minute , followed by a wave of chaotic loud chatter.
‘ LEVEL 27! ‘
‘ DRACO? , DID HE SAY DRACO ? ‘
‘ THAT’S THE SECOND PRINCE ‘
‘ OH MY GOD , IS THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING? ‘.
Were just some things that the crowd exclaimed as discussions arose amongst both students and teachers , who were stupefied by Ronan’s power level.
Naturally the teachers who usually would not try and perceive a juniors power level generally , all probed Ronan to check the authenticity of his words , only to be shocked to realize that it was true.
To put Ronan’s unheard of power level into perspective , level 35 was the benchmark to graduate from the national academy at 13 years of age. Usually , 4th year students at 11 years of age were around Ronan’s current power level , yet at age 7 he was already beyond what geniuses of year 3 were.
Percy coming to the academy with level 24 was already considered a once in a century achievement that nobody expected to be broken in the next 150 years, yet the very next year his little brother shattered his record by a margin , arriving at level 27 !
The previous records not set by the Draco brothers was at level 14 , and that guy was General Sam of the Royal Army . A flagship genius of the Academy system , yet the two prince’s just obliterated his record to dust upon arrival.
John Smith who had just talked big about how the guy on stage was nothing special had to swallow his words as he tried to avoid eye contact from everyone giving him the look on the karma house table.
It was one of the big risks of showboating , as when things took a turn for the worse , as they often did , one lost all credibility and face.
John could only look down in shame as even more exaggerated results came out once Ronan placed his hands on the talent crystal!
One star … Two star … Three … four…. five…. SIX …. SEVEN.
everyone gasped when the reading went over 7 stars towards 8 , yet when the meter showed no sign of stopping , even the staff member held his breath as the crystal actually stopped at a perfect 9 star talent !
The staff member could not muster words to say for a second , as he stumbled in his speech as he said
‘ T…ttttt…..talent … ‘
However he was cut by the principal , who walked down from his position as he hid the crystal from the view of general audience as he squinted his eyes towards Ronan and declared , ” Talent , 8.5 stars ! “.
The loud clamour from the crowd only intensified , as the first peak literally became as loud as a fish market with everyone loosing their minds over the declaration.
While some people did see the perfect 9 stars on the crystal balls , since there was only one person allowed on the testing stage at a time , it was difficult to say for sure from being at a distance . hence , most people let it slide , as there were rumors of the second prince being a 8.5 star talent once he was born.
While such rumors existed , most always beleived it to be royal propaganda , as they did not think that such a genius could actually exist. Most people thought that anything beyond the 7 star realm was only a myth created by nobles and propaganda . Hence to see Ronan score 8.5 stars , it came as a genuine shock to the commoners.
However to Ronan himself it was nothing too big , as far as he was concerned he never thought he was above big brother Percy , as every step of the way he was only following Percy’s lead , as even though he was level 27 at age 7 , Percy was at level 34 at age 8 , meaning compared to Percy , he was still weaker.
Ronan was programmed from his childhood to only take Percy as his measuring stick and not to compare himself to others , hence for Ronan he did not think much of anyone else in the entire batch , with becoming like Percy being his only objective.
However to the audience this was a legendary moment , One that they would tell their kids and grandkids all the time about at family gatherings, as the proud moment when they were first introduced to the Legendary Dragon Emperor.
The audience watched with bated breaths as Ronan placed his hands on the elemental affinity crystal , which crackled with purple thunder violently as the boom of thunder echoed throughout the arena.
The staff member declared proudly ” Elemental affinity : Higher element Thunder! “.
It was the teachers turn to go crazy , as not only was the kid the best talent they had seen in the history of humankind , not only was he the highest levelled kid to ever enroll inside the academy. But he was also a higher elemental user , the dream combination for the ultimate warrior !
Everyone knew that they needed to do everything they could to get Ronan into their camp. All the houses were ready to go crazy to get this one guy , as they knew going from Percy as an example , that a single Draco was worth a thousand normal talents.
