Runemaster in the Last Days
Chapter 673 - 675: Difference in Talent
"You're right." Sophia smiled.
Riya glanced at Sophia. She could guess that Sophia was not that worried about other people surpassing her. After all, her own innate talent was actually not very good and it could be said to be extremely bad.
Without being a beast master, there was no way Sophia would be able to reach her current rank.
'The rich family's problems are really troublesome.'
Her own blood related family members' matters were also quite troublesome. Her biological mother had already passed away while her biological father… uh, where is he?
Riya didn't know exactly.
As long as they didn't make trouble to her, Riya was really too lazy to care about these people.
"Hmm? That's Ciera, right?" Amelia spotted a familiar person on the training grounds and arched her eyebrows. "When did she become a magician?"
Magician.. what?
Riya moved her gaze towards the training grounds and saw Ciera, who was testing her mana and a group of boys who surrounded her. She looked a cocky queen who was trying to spread out her influence.
Seeing the magic that Ciera used, Riya's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Is her talent really that good?"
"Huh?"
"She's already a rank 2 magician, right?" Amelia pointed at Ciera with surprise on her face. She was quite sensitive to mana's fluctuation after advancing to rank 5 and it was very easy for her to detect other people's strength when they were using magic.
Ciera was clearly not trying to hide her strength or anything like that.
So it was obvious that she was already rank 2 magician.
Can you reach rank 2 as a magician within a short half a year with limited resources? This was something that Amelia didn't know.
"She's a demonic magician," Riya replied.
She saw more clearly than Amelia.
Even without others using their magic to sense or anything like that, Riya could sense it very clearly.
"Huh?"
"Magic talents are usually innate and passed down by their parents to their children. Sometimes, there can be slight mutation where one of them is slightly more talented than the others but the deviation is usually not that big," Riya explained. "My own talent as a magician is actually considered mediocre, so I'll be surprised if my half siblings have high magic talents."
After all, if Riya had to be honest, there was time when she was tempted to become a demonic magician in that world. With her poor talent as a magician and warrior, neither of the three main paths would allow her to reach high rank.
But in the end, she chose to try the auxiliary paths because she saw the runes were so easy to memorize.
It was a coincidence.
And that was what led her to the path as a rune master.
"Huh?"
The other three were obviously stunned.
"Well, the exact details of how the magic talents work has to be explained by Samuel. I'm sure that he knows more about the theory because of his education in that world." Riya coughed.
She didn't know as much as Samuel about this matter.
After all, some basic knowledge was blank in her mind because she skipped those process when she became a rune master.
"If your talent is not high… how…?" Sophia looked at Riya in confusion.
Riya is the first rank 7 magicians in this world…. Uh no, wrong, she's the first rank 7 rune master.
"Rune master might be considered as magician's branch but in truth, there are people who follow this path to the extreme and I'm one of them," Riya explained calmly.
Now that she had reached rank 7, she didn't care even if she told this matter to the others. Because no one would be able to do much to her anymore.
Magic that could turn life and death around or even the past and present couldn't be reached by them. By the time they reached that point, they could also set up the rules restriction to protect themselves from having their past interfered by others.
But Riya didn't know the details.
After all, she was far from reaching that rank.
"So your talent as rune master and magicians is different?" Sophia asked.
Riya nodded.
"Then how do you explain why my brother has high talent while my talent is low?"
"Perhaps your mother's talent would be high if she's still alive?" Riya said tactfully. Sophia's mother had passed away and didn't have the chance to experience the change of this world.
Sophia looked at Riya blankly.
"Also, your brother's talent is not as high as you expect him to be." Riya chuckled. "It's just slightly above average and your father's talent should be between you and your brother."
Even though it was indeed a bit surprising for the siblings to have a completely different talent, but it was still within the acceptable range.
"If it's reasonable for me, why not her…?"
"Because Mrs. Taylor didn't have any talent to become magician and if I'm not wrong, Ciera has tested her talent before and the result is that her talent is poor," Riya explained calmly.
Considering her own father's talent shouldn't be that different from her, Riya didn't think that the combination of these two people would result in a genius magician's talent. She felt that such a thing would be highly impossible.
"My brother?" Amelia asked weakly.
Riya was silent. "That's gene mutation."
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
They all laughed out loud when they heard Riya's evaluation. Then again, Samuel's talent was indeed the highest in the Jones Family, even higher than both Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones. These two's people talents were not that bad but their age was there and it was already too late for them to start practicing.
So they could only train moderately and they should be able to get good result in the future.
At least, they didn't need Samuel to protect them for their entire life with their training result.
But with their current position, who would dare to offend these two people?
Unless they were stupid, they would not do something like that.
