Chapter 8 : Chapter 8

Chapter 8: The Awakening of Talent is a Blessing from the World

I was naturally not the only one registering here.

Although this time was not the official registration time, many students had already arrived here in advance, such as the girls who came to scout the place in advance, and the new students from other academies who were abducted by the senior sisters using various means.

It wasn't just boys who were abducted; many girls were also abducted.

Thinking about it this way, the proportion of boys in the Witch Academy was actually quite small.

They were clearly adults, yet they were crying here like children.

But I could understand.

They clearly had better prospects, and now they had all fallen into the Witch Academy.

Many of them had never considered the Witch Academy and had no plans for it, so this had completely disrupted their lives.

It was natural for them to be devastated.

However, I could clearly see that after registration, the arrangements for boys and girls were separate.

On the girls' side, one senior sister led several girls, while on the boys' side, it was basically one-on-one.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

After all, the senior sisters probably had to do some special psychological counseling for those abducted boys.

At this moment, Big Sister Bai very thoughtfully helped me turn on my new phone and taught me how to use it.

However, because I had not yet come into contact with the transcendent, I was unable to use that holographic projection effect.

No wonder the senior sister said the technological content was very low.

It turned out that the phone only provided a platform that could be used in this way.

But did I have to figure out how to use it in such a cool way myself?

This sense of psychological gap was still quite severe, and there were only some basic applications in the phone.

As for the battery… no, no, no, it should be magic value now.

This phone was driven by magic power.

Right now, my phone doesn't have any large applications, and I didn't know how to control magic power myself.

The magic power the senior sister charged for me in a short time was enough for me to use for a long time.

At least that's what the senior sister said.

“Big Sister Bai, where are we going next?”

I blurted out subconsciously.

As expected, sometimes it was still more natural to call her Big Sister Bai.

“To awaken your talent.”

“Awaken… talent?”

I frowned slightly.

How come I had never heard of this?

Could I still awaken some kind of talent?

“Yes, talent is a gift from the world, a precious blessing for us to step over the threshold of the transcendent. Of course, that's what they say, but you shouldn't have too high expectations.”

“Ah? What do you mean? Are rare talents very few?”

“How should I explain this to you? Talent is basically not linked to anything. Talent, effort, comprehension, and so on, have nothing to do with it. It's basically all down to luck. Ninety-nine percent of them are useless things.”

“Things? What is talent awakening like?”

Since the senior sister said so, she probably wanted me to lower my psychological expectations.

However, as a transmigrator, this should give me something good, right?

Of course, this was just my beautiful fantasy.

What if this world didn't welcome transmigrators and my awakening failed?

“We'll know when we get to the place where talents are awakened. It's just something like an array diagram arranged with a ritual. After you stand inside, you call upon the world's blessing. Just think of whatever good words you can, as long as you don't curse. Otherwise, be careful of awakening failure. Although talent is generally an optional thing, failing is easily laughed at…”

I listened carefully as the senior sister explained the details to me.

I naturally wouldn't be so brain-dead as to curse.

After all, I was asking God for something useful, so of course I had to be devout.

“By the way, Senior Sister, what are talents generally like? Can you give me a few examples?”

“Alright, let me tell you. The scope of this thing called talent is too broad. The most common are blessing-type talents, such as strong body, intelligent mind, immunity to all poisons, and so on. Then there are item-types…”

“Wait, items? Can talent awakening also awaken items?”

I hurriedly interrupted to ask.

“Yes, items are also things that can be awakened through talent. This also includes many things, from worthless stones to weapons that can destroy stars. Of course, there is currently only one recorded case of such a terrifying weapon, and it was that case that raised the upper limit of damage for items awakened through talent to the level of destroying stars.”

At this moment, I secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and also gained a different understanding of talent awakening.

“Then there are also very common memories of a certain period, which may be useful or useless. It's also possible to awaken a complete set of magical skills, or broken and incomplete spells. After all, this thing called talent is too random.”

“Of course, there may also be some talent abilities. For example, after you awaken your talent, you get nothing, but you suddenly find that you are very good at drawing, or very good at doing housework. This is a drawing talent, a housework talent, very strange, isn't it?”

“Indeed, this is strange…”

I echoed from the side.

These abilities were indeed all so useless.

“If you ask me, the most useful thing about talent awakening is to get a spell, preferably a big spell. Forget it, that's too far-fetched for you and me. In short, just maintain a normal mindset.”

Big Sister Bai led me to this so-called talent awakening hall.

Many people had already arrived here, and many of them did not look very happy.

I took a look, and there were currently no lucky ones here.

My gaze fell on a girl holding a strangely shaped short staff in her hand.

She passed by me, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

It seemed that the thing in her hand was not something useful.

I obediently waited in line here.

After all, there were still a lot of people here, and the thing on the ground that looked like a magic circle seemed to be a one-time use item.

After one person awakened, it had to be redrawn.

By the time it was my turn, a good while had passed.

The girl in front of me also awakened an item, a weapon… model.

It was the size of a palm, and even had a clasp on it.

Looking at it this way, the probability of awakening an item was quite high.

I hoped that if mine was an item, it would be a bit more valuable.

Maybe I could sell it for a good price and solve my urgent needs.

“Are you standing still? I'm starting the ritual. Pray in your heart, and take it slow as I told you just now.”

The senior sister in charge of the awakening said to me carefully.

Even though she was constantly repeating the awakening process, I didn't see her showing any signs of impatience.

I subconsciously closed my eyes, not even daring to open Spirit Vision, for fear of causing the awakening to fail.

Although I had just been told off by the senior sister and no longer had expectations for my talent, it didn't mean I wanted to fail.

Awakening a useless stone and failing to awaken were essentially the same, but subjectively they were different.

At this moment, my mind was filled with all kinds of prayers and blessings from my previous life.

I basically used whatever I could think of.

I only felt a wave of heat wash over my body, and then my shoulder was suddenly patted.

“Student, your talent has been awakened. It's the next person's turn.”

This senior sister said to me enthusiastically.

Then I saw the magic circle under my feet that seemed to be like burning embers.

I was still a little dazed.

Was that it?

There was nothing new in my hands, nor were there any new memories or spells in my head.

“Alright, at least you succeeded, didn't you? As for what your talent is, it's not important. Maybe you'll find out slowly in the future. Oh, maybe you'll find out later.”

At this moment, Big Sister Bai walked over and led me away, comforting my mood along the way.
