Chapter 53: Freedom Flight
"This marks the end of the trial selection process. Those without a talent leave this area immediately. Those who possess one, stay back," Brant announced, stepping aside to watch as half the crowd began to disperse.
Leo blinked, surprised—and he wasn't the only one. Out of two thousand youths, half had already awakened their talent; this was a 50% chance, a steep increase from the 1% - 2% Beast Master awakening.
Brant's voice rang out again, loud and commanding.
"Now, listen carefully. Most of you already know your talent by name—it should hint whether it's of the combat, support, or life type. The academy values all of these. Even if your talent is 'Cooking,' you can still join us. But you will be tested accordingly.
"Those with life-type talents need not fear; your tests carry no life threat. Fail, and you'll be escorted home. Pass… and your life changes forever. An academy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—seize it."
