With the release of the mana's grip, Mikro and his brothers exchanged glances filled with gratitude and newfound understanding. The library, steeped in elven history and magic, stood witness to the evolving dynamics of the father-son relationship.
As Victor decided to host the talent discovery within the familiar embrace of their home, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. The unexpected revelation of Mikro's telepathic gift added a layer of mystery to the upcoming journey, and Victor, embracing the surprises parenthood brought, looked forward to witnessing the untapped potentials of each of his sons in the magical sanctuary they called home.
In the library, after Victor had released the mana's gentle hold on his sons, the room retained its air of enchantment. The quadruplets, now free to explore their thoughts, gathered amidst the towering shelves of ancient knowledge. Victor, with a reassuring smile, addressed them further.
"Your talents are as diverse as the realms we navigate," Victor spoke, his voice echoing through the hallowed halls. "Today, within the sanctity of our home, we shall uncover the depths of your abilities. Remember, the discovery of one's talents is a journey, not a destination."
Ceteus, the eldest, nodded thoughtfully, his eyes reflecting the weight of responsibility. Kwatee, with a spark of curiosity, couldn't help but voice his wonder, "What do you think we'll find, Father?"
Victor's eyes gleamed with paternal pride. "That, my child Kwatee, is the beauty of the unknown. Your strengths, your unique magic, and the potential within each of you are like undiscovered chapters in the vast tome of Eldralore."
Key, chimed in, "But what if our talents are too extraordinary, Father? What if we're not like others?"
Victor knelt down, meeting Key's gaze. "Your uniqueness is a gift, not a burden. Embrace it. The library holds the stories of countless individuals who discovered their extraordinary gifts and shaped the course of history."
Mikro added, "We understand, Father. Today, within the walls of our home, we shall uncover the mysteries within ourselves."
With these words, Victor left the quadruplets to their own contemplations. The library, a repository of ancient wisdom, stood witness to the unfolding chapters of their journey. The echoes of dialogue lingered, like the whispers of arcane secrets, within the enchanted walls as the quadruplets prepared to embark on a day of self-discovery in the magical sanctuary they called home.
Ceteus collapses on the ground from that brief encounter with his father knowing if they had gone to a public test, they would have enemies in the background who would try to crush them before they could rise, or at least that is what they assume with their knowledge from different animes and novels they have read.
"Man that was a close one, at least the testing will be done in in private, and I'm sure we can convince our parents to also keep any servants out of the room from the information being leaked"
Ceteus said lying on the ground.
"Definitely, but now our parents know about my telepathy for sure"
"Well if you hadn't used Father would be dragging us to one of the Mooncrest halls or even worse a public one for the whole town to see." key chimed in.
"Listen I've been thinking about a few things about the whole talent reading process if the gods really sent other people to this planet, and allowed them to pick their skill just like us, even if it wasn't the same amount I'm sure it was enough to separate themselves from normal. I have an inkling of what will happen to us when we go to the talent room."
Those words came from Kwatee, who till this point was the most relatively calm person about the whole situation.
"Wait, why do you say that."
Mikro spoke.
Kwatee rubbed his chin with his toddler hands " We will just have to wait and see."
After two hours of animated discussion among the quadruplets in the library, the air was thick with the scent of ancient scrolls and the soft glow of enchanted orbs. Ceteus, Kwatee, Key, and Mikro, now seated amidst the towering bookshelves, exchanged theories and shared insights about what the talent tests might entail. The library, filled with the echoes of their speculation, became a haven of intellectual excitement.
In the midst of their animated discourse, the library doors creaked open, revealing Seraphina, a woman of breathtaking beauty with skin kissed by the warmth of the sun and hair that cascaded in elegant curls. She exuded an aura of regality, and her eyes, a deep shade of brown, reflected both wisdom and maternal warmth.
"Children," Seraphina's voice, gentle yet commanding, filled the library. "It's time. The main room awaits for your talent tests."
As Seraphina guided them out of the library, the enchanting atmosphere of the room seemed to linger. The animated theories and whispered excitement left an imprint, like the pages of an unfinished story. The library, now silent in their absence, held the echoes of a family's contemplation and the promise of extraordinary destinies that awaited within the mansion's main room.
The grand corridors of the ancestral mansion echoed with the hushed footsteps of the quadruplets, guided by Seraphina. Mikro, as the eldest led the procession with a measured and purposeful stride. Ceteus, Kwatee, and Key followed suit, their anticipation palpable in the air. The walls, adorned with elven tapestries depicting ancient tales, seemed to come alive with whispered secrets, acknowledging the momentous event about to unfold.
As they approached the main room, the heavy double doors swung open, revealing a scene of enchantment within. The vast space, illuminated by the soft glow of magical orbs suspended from the ceiling, welcomed the family with an otherworldly ambiance. The intricate elven designs that adorned the walls seemed to shimmer in anticipation, and the air carried a subtle hum of excitement.
Victor, the respected head of the branch family, stood near the Talent Ball with a proud smile on his face. His dignified presence, marked by a strength that transcended the ages, resonated in the room. The main room was abuzz with activity as servants and maids attended to the final preparations for the talent tests.
"Welcome, my family," Victor's voice resonated through the room. "Today marks a momentous occasion in the legacy of our family. The Talent Ball awaits, ready to unveil the extraordinary within each of you."
The Talent Ball, a mesmerizing sphere suspended in mid-air, pulsed with an ethereal light as if acknowledging Victor's words. The room, with its magical glow, became a theater for the imminent revelations.
However, Key, the ever-impulsive one, could not contain his impatience. "Father, may we have a moment of privacy?" he asked, unable to suppress the urgency in his voice.
Victor, understanding the significance of the request, nodded graciously. "Of course, my son. Attend to your family matters."
With a wave of his hand, Victor signaled to the servants and maids to leave the room. The attendants, with a swift and practiced grace, exited discreetly, leaving the main room to the family.
Key, visibly relieved, turned to his siblings and parents. "Thank you," he expressed with a nod of gratitude, his impatience tempered by a sense of responsibility.
Now, with privacy restored, the quadruplets and their parents stood in a familial circle, the Talent Ball casting its gentle glow upon them. Mikro, as the eldest addressed the family, "Today, within the sanctity of our home, let us embark on this journey of self-discovery. May our talents be revealed with clarity and purpose."
Ceteus, the second eldest, stepped forward, his eyes reflecting determination. "Let the echoes of our ancestors guide us as we unravel the tapestry of our gifts."
Kwatee added,
"May this moment be etched in the annals of Eldralore, a testament to the strength and uniqueness that resides within our branch family."
Key, concluded, "Let the Talent Ball be our witness as we embrace the magic within and prove ourselves worthy to continue the legacy of our branch family."
The room, now devoid of the bustling servants, held an air of solemnity and anticipation. The quadruplets, standing united, faced the Talent Ball, ready to unveil the mysteries that lay within. Victor and Seraphina, the pillars of the branch family, stood by with a mixture of parental pride and unwavering support. The Talent Ball, responding to the familial unity, pulsed with a gentle energy, casting a radiant glow that reflected the diverse colors of magic.
And so, within the walls of their ancestral home, the quadruplets stood at the precipice of self-discovery, aiming to prove themselves as the rightful heirs to continue the legacy of the branch family. The Talent Ball, suspended in its ethereal grace, awaited the unfolding of the extraordinary destinies that would either solidify their place in Eldralore or usher in a new era for the family.
"welp here goes nothing."
Ceteus jokingly said.
The quadruplets approached the Talent Ball in the main room with measured steps. The grandeur of the enchanted atmosphere heightened the anticipation in the air. Mikro, Ceteus, Kwatee, and Key walked in unison, each taking a moment to marvel at the radiant presence of the magical sphere suspended in mid-air.
As they neared the Talent Ball, the ambient light in the room seemed to dance in response to their arrival. The intricate patterns on the walls shimmered, casting ethereal reflections on the polished floor. The quadruplets, their expressions unreadable, maintained a focused and purposeful demeanor.
With a synchronized gesture, the quadruplets extended their hands toward the luminous surface of the Talent Ball. The sphere responded instantly, emitting a soft, enchanting hum. The magical connection established, the room became a sanctuary of quiet awe, as the Talent Ball prepared to read the ranks of their existing skills.
The subtle interplay of light and magic surrounded the quadruplets as they awaited the revelation of their abilities. The moment was charged with an otherworldly energy, and the Talent Ball, a beacon of potential, stood ready to unravel the mysteries of their chosen skills.
As the quadruplets stood before the radiant Talent Ball, a system prompt echoed in their minds,
[[[Within your own internal systems, choose the talents you wish to present. The Talent Ball shall read the ranks of these selected abilities, aligning its assessment with your intentional choices. Proceed with the selection now.]]]
In response to the system prompt, a subtle yet distinct internal interface appeared in the minds of Mikro, Ceteus, Kwatee, and Key. Within this mental space, they navigated through their individual divine systems, selecting the specific talents they wanted the Talent Ball to assess.
Kwatee, his eyes sparkling with a mix of excitement and satisfaction, couldn't help but chime in, "I told you something extraordinary would happen."
His words resonated within the mental space as the quadruplets engaged with their divine systems to curate the abilities they wished to showcase. The magical sphere, responsive to their internal choices, pulsed with an intensified glow. The room, already filled with an enchanting ambiance, seemed to hold its breath in anticipation.
As the selections were made, the Talent Ball acknowledged their choices, readying itself to read the ranks of these intentionally picked talents. The internal interface and the enchanting glow of the Talent Ball became intertwined, creating a harmonious dance of magic and intention within the main room.
With the talents, and the system prompt fulfilled, the quadruplets, now focused and purposeful, awaited the unfolding assessment. The Talent Ball, a conduit between their innate abilities and their intentional choices granted by the Goddess
The quadruplets, standing in front of the radiant Talent Ball, witnessed the mesmerizing display of their chosen talents' ranks from the divine systems. The magical sphere pulsed with an ethereal glow, symbolizing the proficiency levels they had intentionally selected.
Mikro, with an air of authority, observed as two of his chosen talents sparkled with the brilliance of A rank. The other talents gracefully settled into B rank and C rank, creating a harmonious representation of his strategic prowess.

The Talent Ball, having revealed the depths of their abilities, stood as a testament to their unique journey and the unfolding destiny within the enchanted realm.
In the periphery of the main room, Victor and Seraphina, the parents of Mikro, Ceteus, Kwatee, and Key, observed the enchanting display of the Talent Ball with smiles of excitement. As the radiant glow of the magical sphere subsided, leaving their children in the aftermath of the skill assessment, the parents exchanged a proud and knowing glance.
Victor, with a dignified presence, and Seraphina, a vision of grace, stood side by side. The pride in their eyes reflected the joy of witnessing the unfolding destinies of their children. A shared excitement lit up their faces as they marveled at the diverse talents and the proficiency levels revealed by the Talent Ball.
