Chapter 173 Catheryne arrives – Round 2

***

Lathel really wanted to ask, when did 'Nobility' become a type of profession?

He didn't know, nor did he want to know. Moharo saw the notice appearing in the air and didn't know what to say in this situation.

Was he contemptuous? No, Lathel was the child of a Duke, and besides, behind the Duke who adopted him was also a person with a royal family background, Moharo did not dare to tease.

Praise? Looking at the announcement in the air, he didn't know how to praise him.

Finally, Moharo sighed and said: "Very well, being a noble is also good, everyone wants to lead a good life, living in wealth is the dream of countless people."

Hearing that, Lathel immediately knew that Moharo was comforting him. But he could only nod, pretending to understand what Moharo was saying.

"Thank you, I am also very satisfied with this."

After Lathel finished speaking, he walked down the stone platform and returned to his original spot. Claire saw him appear, smiled, and said: "Lathel, don't worry. If you have nowhere to go in the future, I... I... I will... take care of you."

Lathel: "..." ( ̄ ̄ |||)

'Oy! Are you serious?'

Lathel felt amused, and he wondered if Claire wanted to sacrifice herself to win his trust.

That's also very possible, after all, Malina saved Claire and gave her a second life.

So it's normal for Claire to sacrifice so much to be able to complete the mission that Malina assigned her.

...

Inside the observation room, two middle-aged men laughed loudly when they saw Lathel's proposed occupation.

"Hahaha... A Noble?! It's the first time I've seen the appraisal Ball propose the occupation of an aristocrat."

"Yes, this is also the first time I have seen this. He possesses a rank-E earth element,which is useless, and a rank-D fire element; I'm afraid he won't have much effect in real combat."

"Hahaha... I feel like the appraisal ball is right. Besides becoming a noble, what can he do? Adventurer? Hahaha... I'm afraid if he just uses two magic skills, he will consume all his magic energy."

"Don't say that, maybe he can use three magic skills? You should remember that he also possesses the earth element. More precisely, an E-rank earth element, hahahaha..."

"Do you have any opinion on his talent?" Suddenly, Amleth's icy voice rang out, causing the two middle-aged men to immediately shut up.

They immediately realised that Amleth was angry, and it seemed that the young man whose talent was being tested was... the person that Lady Amleth liked.

"Hahaha... looks like... Is that the person that Lady Amleth likes?" Farmyrth smiled and asked, "Your standards seem low. I thought it was the young man named Harris, or Alec."

Amleth glanced at Farmyrth and said calmly: "Are those two dogs worthy of me? Even if I were to let them take my shoes, they wouldn't be worthy."

"Woah! Lady Amleth is so arrogant, so... What makes you like that young man?" Farmyrth asked curiously: "Appearance? No, that person is not very handsome either."

"Talent, strength? No, he doesn't have very good talent either. Or... is his fertility stronger than that of normal people?"

"Huh!" Amleth snorted in contempt and said: "Do dragons like you only care about that? That's rude, you can just find a dog waiting to mate with you."

"Ah! Or... have you already done that? How disgusting! Are you that horny?"

Of course, there was no one with a higher talent than Claire, and she seems to be the only one with a Rank B talent.

Although there are also a few people who possess Rank B talents, their talents are quite normal—nothing outstanding.

Besides, Alec and Harris possess Rank D talents; however, their talents have an extremely large development space.

Alec possesses an Essence Flame and two types of talents that fuse together.

Harris's talent also has great potential to evolve.

Claire possesses a special talent for healing. With this talent, the Royal Family or the Church can attract her and nurture her easily.

Those were the three most special people in this year's intake; however, Lathel looked around as he felt the killing intent from the other competitors towards Claire, Alec, and Harris.

"Claire, they seem to be looking at you with killing intent."

Hearing Lathel's words, Claire also nodded and replied: "That's right. Anyway, this happens very often. People with high talent, if they have not yet become students of the magic academy, will fall into the sights of others."

"Sight?! What do you mean?" Lathel frowned and asked.

Claire explained: "Because among the students here, there are not only people from the Karol empire but also many people from other kingdoms."

"Some people really want to join this academy and become full-fledged students."

"But there are also a few people with the intention of destroying those with good talents, thereby weakening the younger generation of the Karol Empire."

"That's also something that happens often. So, those people will naturally pay attention to me."

Lathel sighed and said: "Claire, you are much stronger than I thought. You can face such a dangerous thing without worrying; I really envy you."

Claire blushed and said: "I... I'm not as strong as you think. It's just... I was trained by Master Lilith, that's why I think I can pass this exam."

"Besides... I must continue to live to serve my master, and... and... you."

Lathel: "..."

He felt like Claire was telling the truth, but Lathel immediately reassured himself, and silently told himself that he needed to be more alert.

Lathel looked up at the sky. The sun gradually disappeared, and dark clouds appeared. Seeing this, he thought to himself: 'Could it be that the second round of the competition will have to be postponed until tomorrow?'

"Everyone prepare, the second round is about to take place."

Moharo's voice rang out, startling Lathel: "What?! It's almost dark, and yet we're still holding the second round of the competition."

Moharo did not explain further but waved his hands. A giant magic circle appeared on the stone platform.

That magic circle emitted a magical blue light, and the strange characters inside that magic circle continuously moved as if it were a high-tech 3D product.

Moharo then spoke up: "The second round is the survival round."

"All students will be taken to a random place in the 'Black Bone' forest, and you have to survive inside that forest for 7 days."

"Of course, during those 7 days, you must destroy as many monsters as possible. Your score will be based on the number of monsters you have killed."

"Finally, the 10 people with the highest scores will advance to the third round."

"If you encounter mortal danger or want to give up, you just need to use the magic 'flare' and there will be rescuers to save you."

"If there are no more questions, then... the second round begins."
