Bonus Chapter 27.1

Bonus Chapter 27.1

I climbed the stairs and stood next to Nicholas.

The middle-aged professor opened a chest of drawers at the back of the classroom and was looking for something with his teaching assistant.

Eyes of various colours gazed upon us curiously.

During class, the professor had preached to the students his attribute-superiority view and that the influence of attributes and their ranks was absolute, and Nicholas spoke out against the claim.

In response, the professor called Nicholas to the podium and then called me.

.

What am I doing here?

Based on the current circumstances, I think Ill be displaying my [Heaven] Attribute...

In web novels, in such instances, the end result would usually be a confrontation between professor and student with the student either winning or losing.

However, sparring was impossible in the current setting.

This was an indoor high school, and there were no barriers to protect spectators from blind magic or slashes, nor any priests to heal their injuries.

Eventually, the teaching assistant followed the professor in bringing a long, cylindrical object and set it down in front of Nicholas and me.

These are a pair of elemental magic generating devices! As the name suggests, they are devices that generate elemental magic in a pre-set amount. Originally, it was an auxiliary tool for new students who could not handle attributes, but it could be used in this situation now. Come on, both of you stand on either side of the device and hold onto the handles!

We followed his instructions.

The professor continued his speech while operating the machine.

Now, after exactly the same amount of elemental magic has been inputted inside each, they will collide with each other. Before we begin, both of you, please tell us your attribute and rank.

I am a normal level [Wind] Attribute.

A low and subdued voice entered my ears.

Nicholas Bondrania.

The attribute of this noble prince happened to be of the common class.

Well, it was not something to be too shocked about.

The absolute majority of Awakeners acquired normal-level attributes, and only a very small number acquired continental-level attributes.

The epic level had rarely appeared in the history of mankind, and Mythical level was first even recorded with me and Hyerin.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

That is why the summoned who had awakened all kinds of rare attributes were special, and this was why the imperial family wanted to embrace us with open arms in the empire.

I am the [Heaven] Attribute. My grade is the Mythic-level.

From the podium, I could clearly see the students had become agitated by my answer.

The professor nodded his head as if he was satisfied with my answer.

Are you both ready?

Faster magic power increase and recovery speed, lower elemental fatigue, and higher mana efficiency. Even if you dont take into account the implied difference in talent, no one can deny the superiority of the benefits.

He didnt stop there.

Would Jeon Ji-Hye of the [Death] Attribute and Choi Ji- Hoon of the [Sun] Attribute come up too?

He brought up Epic and continental-level students.

Choi Ji-hoon appeared to be happy with the opportunity to be in the spotlight and quickly approached the professor.

Jihye walked slowly, rubbed her eyes and covered her yawn with her hand.

The professor would have chosen to scrutinise such an appearance for its disrespect, but it seemed he had already had an impression of Jihye in his head.

There was no way that the professor would dislike her since she had an epic attribute.

Ugh.

Nicholas had to use his magic twice more against Jihye and Choi Jihoon.

And the result

The wild winds vanished without a trace as soon as it touched the grey orb of Jihyes.

It was almost the exact same situation as against mine.

I didnt expect this...

A twinkle appeared in the professors eyes.

Nicholass whirlwind and Choi Ji-hoons small sun made for a decent match.

The two had a fairly equal strength contest in the cylinder.

Still, the strong winds were just firewood that stoked the flames of his sphere.

The wind couldnt handle death and the sun.

Do you understand now? The Awakened people of the continental level and above did not stand out in the long history for nothing.

There was a good idiom that described this reality.

Nangjungjichu: With a cone in your pocket, the cone tip will be exposed. [T/N: Metaphorically talented people will not be buried for a long time, i.e. can finally show their talent.]

Even if you left a talented person alone, a sharp come would one day pierce the pocket and reveal itself, so beings with outstanding talent had no choice but to be recognised by others.

His argument was persuasive.

Evidence had been given through experiments with precise devices, and the logic was reasonable based on the objective data.

I still did not know much about this world, but I wanted to pat the professors back.

Of course, this was because his values were much more favourable to people like me.
