Chapter 267: S-grade talent?
"Consider it compensation for my rude behavior just now."
Hearing this, a hint of a smile flickered in Jia Na's eyes.
Especially when she saw Black Cat Belle's cat face, which was clearly very curious but struggling hard to suppress her urge to ask.
This look was exactly the same as Hugh-Stone's earlier look of struggling with indecision.
"Thank you, Miss Bei'er—then I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, go ahead."
After putting everything into her thorn bracelet, Jia Na turned around and walked towards the Magic Tower entrance.
One, two, three—
"Wait a moment."
Before Jia Na could even count to four in her heart, sure enough, the feline magical beast, whose curiosity was always number one, couldn't help but call out to Jia Na.
"Miss Bei'er, do you need anything else?"
"No... No, I do!"
Another moment of struggle, and finally, Black Cat Belle's curiosity triumphed over its reason.
"Why is there a breath of Life in your magic power?"
Having finally voiced this question, Black Cat Belle also let out a long sigh of relief.
However, when its gaze met Jia Na's seemingly unintentional serene smile, Black Cat Belle pouted again, then continued speaking with a nonchalant expression.
"Of course, you can choose not to answer. I'm just a little bit curious, that's all."
Just a little bit?
She silently grumbled in her heart, but Jia Na didn't show any impatience on her face.
"I don't know what you mean by 'breath of Life', but I have a Plant Affinity talent that just broke through to A-grade yesterday..."
A-grade Talent!?
Hearing Jia Na's words, Black Cat Belle felt as if her memory was momentarily hazy.
If she remembered correctly, as early as last year, this female apprentice's talent seemed to have already broken through to A-grade. How could it be yesterday? Wait!
Yesterday!?
"What A-grade Talent is it?"
"Nature Affinity."
"Nature Affinity? Dual A-grade Talent?"
"Yes."
Looking at Black Cat Belle's shocked expression, Jia Na, who had no intention of hiding this matter, continued to return a calm smile.
"Truly a monster."
This sentence was spoken by Black Cat Belle in her heart.
Two consecutive years, two B-grade talents both breaking through to A-grade—and, if Black Cat Belle remembered correctly, this female apprentice also possessed two Law Shards at the same time.
"No wonder—but it's truly rare for the Nature Affinity talent to awaken in a human..."
Continuing to sniff the strong "breath of Life" on Jia Na, a hint of mischievousness couldn't help but flash in Black Cat Belle's mind.
"If the Green Elves in Florence knew about this, they would definitely treat you as a half-elf who was lost outside and trick you into going to the Forest of Nature."
Nature Affinity is a talent that even the pure-blooded High Court Elves in the Forest of Nature cannot easily awaken, let alone a human.
"Alright, I have no more questions."
After getting the answer she wanted, Black Cat Belle lay back down on the magic crystal wall, idly wagging her tail.
"Okay, Miss Bei'er."
Jia Na, who wasn't sure if the other party truly had no more questions, bowed slightly, then turned around again and walked towards the Magic Tower entrance.
And this time, Black Cat Belle indeed did not call out to Jia Na again.
"It seems she really has no other questions..."
After leaving the entrance, looking at the darkening sky, Jia Na, who had already prepared everything, quickly walked towards the dormitory.
Meanwhile, on the first floor of the Magic Tower.
"Nature Affinity, Nature Affinity—"
The amplitude of her tail wagging was enough to show Black Cat Belle's restlessness at the moment.
Born in the Lower City, a commoner apprentice, never having formed a contract with any Wizard family since enrollment—and dual A-grade Talent, and the two Law Shards understood up to now.
"Not only that, she also has Extraordinary Charm—"
Initially, because of the two prerequisites, Extraordinary Charm and Plant Affinity, Black Cat Belle guessed that Jia Na might have the bloodline of an Oak Fairy.
However, as Black Cat Belle's interactions with Jia Na gradually increased, she slowly overturned this guess.
Although Oak Fairies are also a type of powerful extraordinary creature, they would not possess a top-tier talent like Nature Affinity, which is said to be mastered only by "children of nature."
Moreover, there couldn't be such a strong breath of Life in an Oak Fairy's magic power. "Could it be that she is actually a favorite of the Wizard's Will with an S-grade talent?"
Thinking of this, Black Cat Belle's pupils contracted for a moment, then she looked towards the Magic Tower entrance with a complex expression.
"If that's the reason, then everything makes sense—"
S-grade talent...
Who was the last S-grade talent?
Her cat eyes slightly closed, and it was only after a moment that Black Cat Belle retrieved this memory from her mind.
"Temiselu Russell."
Temiselu Russell was a deep-sea male merman from the Russell family in Atlantis.
During his infancy, although Temiselu's talent was not outstanding among the merfolk, he showed extraordinary Comprehension when learning various ocean magic.
In addition to ocean magic, Temiselu also displayed exceptional talent in understanding the Water Element Law.
"Dew", "Stream", "River", "Flood", "storm" Before he even reached adulthood, Temiselu had already mastered over a dozen Sub-Laws.
Finally, with the complete awakening of Temiselu's S-grade talent, "Ocean Will", he also successfully condensed one of the top Laws of the Primary Material World—the Law of Heavenly Disaster and Ocean—by virtue of his understanding of the Water Element Law.
At the same time, he was also bestowed with countless titles by Atlantis, such as "Lord of the Ocean", "Guardian God of the Ocean", "Lord of Heavenly Disaster", etc. "Besides him, all other Wizards with S-grade talent should have perished in that battle—"
Including that 'Existence'.
"Door Spirit, if anyone comes looking for me, tell them I'm out."
"Okay, Miss Jia Na."
After instructing the Door Spirit, Jia Na pushed the door open and entered the dormitory.
"Lola will probably stay in this state until she completes her evolution."
Looking at the Thorn Flower Fairy in the dormitory, which was still in a bud state, Jia Na thought for a moment and decided to leave the Thorn Flower Fairy in the dormitory.
It wasn't that Jia Na was worried, but purely because she was about to attend the Transformation Studies class. Therefore, before the class officially started, Jia Na wanted to take this opportunity to carefully observe the process of Life evolution.
