Chapter 78: Chapter 63 Celebration_3

"And I will be the second greatest."

Rod whispered, "What is Spell Talent?"

Slap!

At least three people at the round table covered their faces at the same time.

Swipe.

A shiny silver fork pointed directly at Rod’s nose.

Shines’s whole body burst into flames, and he said loudly, "Good! Since you asked sincerely, let the most outstanding man in the entire academy explain to you what the most powerful Soul Trait—Spell Talent—entails."

So, for a long time afterward, it was Shines speaking nonstop about how powerful this rare Soul Trait was.

His speech was filled with complicated terms and a lot of self-promotion. After listening for a long time, Rod roughly understood that people possessing this Soul Trait could use a power called Magic.

Due to its significant power and versatile functions, researchers considered it one of the strongest seven Soul Traits.

Of course, in Shines’s mouth, it was the strongest, without a doubt.

Finally, when he finished bragging, Rod asked, "What are the other six?"

Shines stabbed a piece of fragrant fried steak: "This steak is really cooked well."

Anna smiled and explained, "Eternal Burning Fire, Power of the Sun, Thunder Control, Chaos Fire, Divine Law Heavenly Quality, and Magic Awakening."

They sounded so powerful... Rod felt like he was gaining some real insight.

Red Bee asked, "Is there such a saying for Fire Spark?"

She was Starfire, possessing Soul Fire Sparks, not Soul Traits.

Anna shook her head slightly.

"Generally, the prevailing view is still that Soul Fire Sparks are fragments of Soul Traits, countless Fire Sparks are only infinitely close to complete Traits, but they can never become true Traits."

Red Bee protested, "But the strongest is Lord Alan!"

Anna smiled,

"Certainly, Lord Alan’s emergence has challenged this view, but he is an exception. Under general circumstances, given the same conditions, Spirit Fire is almost always stronger than Starfire, Spirit Fire Series Combatants are more stable, and their training progresses faster. It’s much more difficult for the Starfire Series, as they are mainly constrained by the number of Fire Sparks. Igniting a new Fire Spark is exceedingly difficult."

Lannister of Wood City nodded earnestly, "So, do not complain about the skewed allocation of academy resources. This is a very practical issue. Our King has already been very merciful, but under mercy, there must also be cold calculations, with the same resources consumed, we naturally tend to create stronger individuals."

Seeing that Red Bee looked a bit down, Beowood stretched out his big hand and patted her shoulder.

"Don’t be disheartened. The strength of Starfire places more emphasis on personal qualities. Hone your combat skills, enhance your Spiritual Energy use techniques, and you can also become an excellent Combatant. Lord Alan did that, having completed the Gold trial with only one Fire Spark ignited. Among the eleven elite Combatants, only he can engage in frequent combat."

He raised a glass of foaming butterwine and said loudly, "To our Undefeated War God!"

All eleven people around the table raised their glasses, chanting together:

"To our Undefeated War God!"

Rod followed suit, gulping down the Mushroom Wine in his hand. It was sweet with a peculiar mushroom flavor, quite bizarre.

The banquet continued, laughter still ringing out, and at the round table, Red Bee clearly took a liking to Beowood, even eating less than usual.

Rod quietly moved from Beowood’s left side closer to Red Bee.

Red Bee’s gratitude +11

Humanity +1

Not bad, this girl really has a conscience.

Rod squeezed next to Anna Visita, who glanced at him coldly.

"Not interested."

Rod smiled awkwardly, "I’m just eating."

Anna Visita elegantly and swiftly, almost at the speed of light, scooped up all the nearby food and guarded it in her arms.

"This is mine."

Rod felt very awkward and could only say, "I’ll just sit, just sit."

Anna Visita, like a cat guarding its food, watched him while eating at ten times the usual speed.

Rod had no intention of stealing food; he cautiously asked, "After we get the medal, can we come and go freely from the academy?"

Anna Visita nodded cautiously, her movements graceful as she picked up a piece of steak and ate it daintily—had it not been fast-forwarded many times.

Rod continued, "Can I go anywhere at any time? Like to the Iron Cross district at night?"

Anna Visita shook her head—her cheeks puffed up, unable to speak.
