Chapter 293: Talent
The interview went on quickly, and in a short time, a young apprentice with a delicate face walked out of the door of the laboratory sadly, and there was no doubt that it was not favored by the master powerhouse inside.
The next person to face an interview is Anya.
The little girl pursed her lips and sighed slightly before she walked into the glorious door as calmly as possible.
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
"Your name is ............ Anya, right"?
Punk gently waved his hand to close the stone gate, and then he asked faintly as he looked into Anya's eyes.
"Yes, my lord".
Anya bowed her head slightly to show modesty, while also avoiding the punk's gaze.
"Born in a civilian family in Rice Town, with no relatives"?
"Yes, my lord".
"Have you ever been exposed to the world of professionals before, or have you ever been exposed to the enlightenment of professionals?"
"No, my lord"
Punk and Anya both calmly asked and answered, but Punk was really calm, and it is unknown what mood lies beneath Anya's calm surface.
This formal question and answer was quickly over. For a moment, the atmosphere in the laboratory was extremely silent.
Punk carefully felt Anya's thoughts fluctuate, this time there was plenty of time, and Punk didn't need to rush to the end of the matter like he did in the branch department, take advantage of this opportunity. Punk intends to take a closer look at something deeper about this "candidate host", such as ............ Mind and soul.
With the level of punk's spiritual power, it doesn't even take a spell to probe the mind of an ordinary person who is not yet a professional, he just directly perceives Anya's brain, and all the thoughts of this girl can be seen at a glance.
However, the results of the investigation made Punk frown slightly.
In his opinion, the emotions that appear in the girl's mind should be excitement or surprise, otherwise it should be expectation and apprehension.
But Punk only saw a strong sense of worry and fear in the girl's mind, and Punk said he didn't understand this situation:
"It's really strange, I also went to save her life, and now I'm going to recruit her as an apprentice, don't mention gratitude or anything, there should always be excitement and anticipation, right?
Punk knew that he was very bad at acting, so he didn't show any expression other than "expressionless" in front of this girl at all, even if the killing intent when dealing with the iron-toothed crow was not very serious, but at this time, Anya was almost instinctively uneasy as if she had a premonition.
"Is it really just because of a hunch? At the level of ordinary people, there is a vague perception of danger............ Hey, this guy can't be a legendary genius."
Thinking of this, Punk's face became more and more solemn.
He slowly stretched out his fingers, and then directly used the spell:
"Master Prophecy Spell - Soul Discovery"!
This spell punk can't be instantaneous, but with the speed at which he builds a spell model, it is no different from an instantaneous to ordinary people.
I saw that the fingertips of the punk quickly condensed a flowing light blue filament, trembling slightly like a living thing, and the tiny silk thread was particularly conspicuous against the background of the shadow.
"Your Excellency...... It's ............"
Anya only saw that the punk suddenly released a spell after two seconds of silence, and she was about to ask, but halfway through her words, the filament went straight into Anya's eyebrows with lightning speed.
In the next moment, Anya felt her consciousness begin to dim.
She only felt that the sense of time and space was becoming more and more blurred, her brain was so groggy that she couldn't think at all, and the memories stored in the depths of her mind, including the things she had forgotten, were all flowing outward like flowing water along a "small hole", even those very private and shameful memories could not be shielded.
At the same time, she felt that her head had broken away from her body and spun in midair, and a strong sense of dizziness accompanied by a small whisper echoed in Anya's ears, the buzzing sound became louder and louder, and it was better to completely turn into a noisy and annoying noise.
"Bang"!
As if a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in her mind, the illusory sensation disappeared in an instant, and her consciousness returned to this laboratory.
At the same time, with a headache that seemed like her head had been split, Anya collapsed to the ground retching.
"Hmm............"
Although she bit her lip with blood, Anya couldn't help but moan in pain.
"Here you go, it will be better to drink".
Sensing it, Anya's heartbeat stopped, and Punk frowned and threw a bottle of apprentice-grade "Tranquil Elixir" to Anya, who was curled up in a ball with her head covered on the ground.
Not surprisingly, he successfully probed Anya's soul and checked her memories by the way.
But............
"Sure enough, I'm still not good at this kind of delicate soul work, and I will have to practice seriously when I have time in the future."
Punk was somewhat reluctant to lift the "soul exploration".
In fact, he was not very satisfied with the spell just now, his technique was a little rougher, and the spell energy left over when peeking at the memory left some sequelae for Anya, thinking that this girl might have some forgetfulness in the future.
"Forget it, it's a good thing to forget quickly, and you can be happy if you can't remember your troubles"!
Punk quickly ignores what he sees as a "trivial" after-effect, and now that he has used "Soul Discovery", he discovers an even more troubling question about Anya's talent!
It's not because she's too talented, it's because she's too talented.
At least with Anya's soul talent, even in the Netherriel era, it belongs to the ranks of out-and-out geniuses, and the mentor who recruited Anya, Peter's realm and vision are too low to see the strength of Anya's talent, so she is simply placed in the ranks of "excellent talent apprentices", but with punk exploration methods, it is naturally not difficult to see that Anya's talent hidden under the surface is very strong.
"However, the most important thing is that it is not in my interest to have too good talent, especially since this guy also has the talent of prophecy."
Punk looked at Anya, who had just stood up with a blank face, and his eyes slowly turned cold.
"Prophecy is unnecessary, for a host who doesn't live for a few years, and if she deduces something, she will tell someone else............ Then the trouble will be big, and the news of the law fragment must not be known by the second person............ This talent cannot be kept. β
Thinking of this, Punk has already secretly made a decision.
He quietly cast a recovery spell on Anya, who was a little unsteady, and it was not until the girl's face was a little ruddy that he said slowly in a commanding tone:
"Very good, you have a very good talent for plastic energy spells, from now on you can call me a mentor, from tomorrow I will teach you a private lesson, you must be here at seven in the morning", understand"
"Understood, but ............"
There is no "but", or rather...... You don't want to?"
Punk looked at Anya coldly and said in a low voice.
β............ No, Mentor."
Anya didn't dare to meet the punk's eyes, she lowered her head as humbly as she could, and then slowly stepped back out of the lab.
