Draco's kingdom was very busy, today was the day of the growth ceremony, and many people gathered.
While Indra was properly groomed, the King was rehearsing his speech at the ceremony.
Many mortals got up early, either to tidy up their children or to prepare themselves.
In addition to the royal family, there were still 4 more clans that were part of Draco's kingdom. They all had leaders with amazing skills, talented young people, many resources and connections.
Among these 4 clans, 4 young people attended the growth ceremony, all of them were special, had a strong influence or was the son of the clan leader.
Indra was also looking forward to meeting them, but don't get it wrong, he didn't want their friendship or anything like that, what he wanted was to evaluate them.
…
Meanwhile, at the entrance to Draco's kingdom, 2 hooded men entered.
They had a strong hostility against the kingdom and had very strong auras, and were not far behind the King.
"Hey, take off those masks and show them their faces."
Said one of the guards on duty in a strong voice.
Stopping his steps, one of the hooded looked at him with his black eyes.
* Ploft *
Like a water balloon, the guard burst into blood ...
…
…
The growth ceremony was taking place in a very tall and majestic building. While many benches were available in the middle of the room, many special guests sat in VIP lounges.
In the center of the stage, a square object stood as it was covered by a red curtain.
While many talked quietly, a man entered the stage and let out a light cough.
"Very well…"
Almost immediately, everyone stopped their lines and waited for the man.
"First, thanks for everyone coming."
While many applauded him, the man continued with a smile;
"Today, we have only to thank, not only many of our younger generations saw their talent, but our King will show us many projects…"
What followed next was a very boring speech. Indra who was in one of the VIP rooms got an understanding expression, he then closed his eyes and waited for the call…
…
After a long time, the King appeared;
"Nice to meet you. My name is Maximus Draco, King of Draco…"
He then showed many projects that would improve not only the kingdom but also the path of clans and civilians.
He then lifted the curtain and showed a gray stone that looked very common.
"Right, this is the stone of talent. Even though it seems very common, it will show a person's talent."
The King spoke as he approached her and put his hand.
Soon the stone shone bright blue.
"The stone divides talent into three levels, the human body, the earth body, and the sky body. They are also divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced."
He then took a breath and continued;
"The human body is gray, the earth body is brown, while the sky body is blue. The brighter the glow, the stronger its talent."
With Maximus's little explanation, many exclaimed in excitement and surprise.
…
The King then drew all the participants to the stage, and among them, 5 stood out.
The first was Indra, he had a confident and calm face.
Another was George, he was the son of the Woody clan patriarch. She had brown eyes, brown eyes, a red shirt, and black pants.
She had then a very beautiful girl, her name is Mia, and was the daughter of the Phoenix clan. Her hair and red eyes stand out while her white dress was studded with jewels.
Next was Ned, son of the Dantalion clan. He was very smart, wore strange glasses, and wore a suit that resembled the suits of the earth.
Last but not least was Greg. A young man who exuded pride and looked at everyone as if he were inferior to him.
…
Soon many young people were approaching the stone of talent as the King called their names and they introduced themselves and touched the stone.
"Advanced human body."
"Beginner Earth Body."
"Intermediate human body."
…
…
Soon the King called for George, son of the Woody clan patriarch.
Reaching the stone, he reached out his right hand, while the stone was already glowing a very strong brown.
"... George, advanced Earth Corps."
Said the impressed King.
In joy, many congratulated the Woody clan. Meanwhile, George lifted his chest and looked at Indra defiantly, the latter not paying attention to him.
…
"Ned, the intermediate body of the earth."
…
"Greg, beginner earth body."
…
"Mia…"
He called the King while a beautiful young woman went to the front.
Reaching her pale, smooth hand to the stone, she touched it lightly.
The stone then shone a very strong brown, however, it soon turned to a faint blue and stopped at that.
"Body of heaven ... Beginner. Congratulations, you've been the only one in 40 years."
Congratulated the King smiling.
Mia showed a happy smile and looked at her single mom in the VIP room.
The audience had gone silent, but it soon became a center of exclamation and shock.
Not long after, everyone calmed down, and the King called the last participant as he swallowed his saliva.
"Indra Draco."
Walking with calm steps, Indra grinned at the audience and then went to the stone of talent.
…
…
"We're here…"
Whispered the hooded figure who had arrived in Draco's kingdom. At that moment, he was looking at the building that was taking place the growth ceremony.
"Wait for me… Maximus, I'll soon humiliate you. Kukuku!"
Whispered one of the masked men as he let out an evil laugh.
…
…
Reaching for the stone, Indra soon felt the coldness of the stone…
To everyone's shock, the stone soon shone very brightly blue, many had to cover the view, while the stone looked like a small sun.
"Impossible… this glow, I only saw it once in my life, but it was much weaker…"
Whispered the masked figure who had just entered the ceremony building as he remembered his enemy.
'Is that the son of Maximus? No matter whose son he is, he deserves to die before he grows up. "
Whispered one of the masked figures as he overtook them all and arrived in less than a second to Indra.
