The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

The place where Rein's appraisal was going to happen was the central magic academy of the nation which was located in the capital city of Mantriola. So here in the capital of the nation, the authority of a Viscount was non existent. So even though, Rein's current father, the Viscount himself was with them, they needed to wait for a long time for their turn in the magic academy.

This was fine with Rein though as he had come so much away from his hometown for the first time in this life. So now Rein had a lot of new things to observe. So he was fine with waiting for hours in the school building while using his spatial senses to read the books kept in the library.

...

After about three hours, viscount Markarm was finally called. White waiting, Asher Markarm had gone out and had managed to learn the reason why he had to wait for such a long time today. Even though he was not an influential noble, waiting for hours was still very uncommon. So Viscount Asher Markarm was suspicious.

His suspicion turned out to be correct as Asher learnt from some of his friends that the grand daughter of Duke Leonance was also getting appraised today. That lady was not happy with her appraisal results and was throwing a tantrum. That was the reason why everything was getting delayed.

So Asher was a bit relieved when he was called after just three hours of waiting. He had really thought of the worst that the academy would not be able to hold any more appraisals for the day and was pleasantly surprised to see he was wrong. So he quickly asked his wife, son and the maid who had come with them to follow after him.

Following behind Asher, Rein found himself in the middle of a large room. At the centre of the room, a large expensive looking Mirror was there. Five people with extravagant mage-like dresses were standing just slightly behind the mirror with serious expression on their faces.

The Mirror in the middle was called "The View of Divinity". This was a magic item that could find out about the Affinities and Talents of a person. But to work this item needed a huge amount of mana, so powerful mages needed to present while using this item.

So far everything was normal in the room. Except for the fact that at one corner of the room, quite a few powerful guards were standing surrounding a cute little girl who was sitting on a chair leisurely. This was obviously not normal and Rein was curious about the situation.

But this was not something he was too worried about. Having some extra audience in his appraisal process was not a big deal for him. And if Rein was guessing currently then this lady must be the grand daughter of the duke, so with her as a witness, Rein might even be able to get some benefit from the duke family.

For the high ranking noble families, if an amazing talent appeared in a low ranking family, then the high ranking family would normally send them gifts as congratulations to win them over to their side. The family of viscount Markarm was really way too poor, so having some extra support would be extremely helpful for Rein in advancing his family to the next rank.

As Rein was thinking about his future plans, the old mage standing in the middle signalled Rein to stand before the mirror. Rein followed his instructions and stood before the mirror in such a way that his whole body was reflected on the glass surface.

Then the mages poured their magic power inside the mirror and it started shining with a silver light for a moment. After some time, the light died down and texts appeared on the glass surface which was then immediately projected mid-air for everyone to see.

After the text appeared in mid-air, all the people looking at it froze. That was because the content of the text was way too outside of their wildest dreams. It turned out this cute little boy had not one, not two but three Affinities which was extremely rare in the history of the nation. Not only that but the Affinities themselves were not common and instead were very rare.

But if that was all, then all the people would just have thought that an extremely talented genius had appeared in their nation and would be delighted. But after seeing the name of his skill to be the same as the skill mentioned in the legends, they were too stunned to be delighted.

The same was the case with Rein's companions. Even though Rein's mother was the lowest ranking mage and the maid was not even a mage, they all were aware of the super strong skill that the hero mage had. So they were also stunned to see that their apple of the eye also had the same skill.

The first person who was able to overcome this surprise was none other than the old mage who was standing in the middle of the room. After coming back to his senses, he coughed lightly which brought the other people back to their senses too. Actually this person used a very little amount of mana to impact everyone when he coughed and that was the reason why everyone immediately came out of the stupor. Rein was very impressed by this old mage's control over his mana.

After coming back to their senses, all the people immediately started to excitedly discuss about what they had seen. Some even rubbed their eyes and looked at the text in the air to make sure that they were not hallucinating. But no matter what everyone did, the truth was right before their eyes.

The old mage immediately came to Rein and congratulated him very politely. Then he introduced himself as the current headmaster of the academy which was a surprising revelation even for Rein as the headmaster was a powerful grandmage who very rarely attended this type of event. Rein also acted very politely and greeted the headmaster back. Then he also introduced himself.

But as the headmaster was about to say something in return, an angry voice of a little girl was heard and the little lady who was sitting in one corner of the room started coming toward Rein and the headmaster with puffed up chicks.

So what was going to happen now ?
