After a few minutes of walking Nile, Drake and Eloa were standing infornt of a 2 story building.
The ground floor was a huge library occupying the whole floor. The first floor was divided into 2 rooms, first room contained a large circular crystal which was kept over a sheet of paper that had runes on it. This crystal was called the nature identification crystal, as the name suggests it was able to identify the nature of your cest. This room was very small compared to the other room, it was just one-fifth of the other room. The second was a skill-testing room with huge runes engraved on all 4 walls. These runes could absorb the skills directed towards them, people generally tested their new skills in this room.
The topmost floor (2nd floor) was a skill selection room, every new cultivator could gain a skill scroll from here, but the skills choose their wielders and not the other way round.
"I want 1st and 2nd floor emptied as soon as possible" Drake commanded as soon as a guard approached them.
The guard went into the building as soon as he heard Drake's order. In a few minutes, the whole 1st and 2nd floor were emptied. The three of them then went straight to the nature identification room.
"Nile go ahead, touch that crystal and infuse some of your energy into it". Drake said in an excited tone. 'I wonder what type of nature he will have. Maybe just maybe he can be a tri-nature like hgrandfathernd father. Drake he is already a genius and no nature can decide his future, you should not burden his small shoulders with such high expectations.' Drake thought to himself.
'I hope he does not get disappointed if he is a single nature' Elora thought while looking at Nile who was all excited and had a wide smile.
Nile did as Drake instructed and started infusing energy. The round crystal started shining brightly and a brown colored star can be seen floating.
'That is what i was worried about' Elora thought while looking at Nile with a worried expression, at the very next moment 2 more stars appeared and started glowing inside the crystal, one blue and another orange.
"Hahhaha a tri- nature cultivator just like your grandfather, let us go to the next floor, I want to see what type of skill you will be getting," Drake almost said while jumping above the ground from excitement, as soon as he turned Elora stopped him with shaky hands and pointed towards the crystal which was now lit with 5 stars. Seeing the crystal lit with 5 different colored stars Drake fell on his knees mouth and eyes wide open. Elora's face drained out of all the colour, she was shivering while blinking her eyes continuously.
'I did not see that coming, although I was hoping for a tri or maybe a quad- nature but not penta, I think it is my lucky day.' Nile thought with a wide smile. Nile was more than satisfied, then he started walking towards the upper floor for his first skill scroll, Drake and Elora followed him like zombies both blank and without any expression.
He entered the floor, while both Elora and Drake stood on the stairs both still dumbfounded.
The floor had many pages floating in the air, these skill pages were shining with 5 different coloured lights, each light signifies the nature that the skill belongs to. White for wind, green-earth, blue-water, orange-fire, golden-lightning. As soon as Nile entered the floor, a skill scroll which was shinning with blue light came towards him and the rune on it started entering his body.Nile took a step back, he could feel a warmth in his body which was followed by a cold sensation. Even though Nile knew what was happening, he was unaware of how absorbing a skill felt in a human body. When a cultivator gets his first skill through a skill-room,50% of that skill would automatically get engraved on the stone in his cestation. Learning beyond 50% was up to the cultivator on how much he could memorize the skill rune ,and engrave it on his cestation. After 5 minutes, 50% of the rune had disappeared from the scroll and was engraved into his cestation.
'I feel strong, it feels so good. It was a water nature skill I hope it is a strong one'. Thinking he turned the scroll to read the description of his skill.
-Description- ice manipulation, progressive growth-,
'huhh why is there no description of that skill written, there should be a proper description about how the skill works and its limitation' Nile thought with a puzzled expression.
Once he was done he left the floor, Drake and Elora were still standing there with pale faces.
"Father why is my skill not described properly" Nile asked still confused.
"Dont know" Drake said without even listening 'how can a penta nature be born in our small family' . He was still in shock to see his son be a penta-nature cultivator. There were only a handful of people in the world to be penta nature, and they were all important figures in their respective nations.
'I guess, I have to try it on my own' Nile sighed and started walking towards the mansion followed by Drake and Elora.
