Chapter 23: Little Heirs Gathering (2)
Alaric leaned forward, his signature smile firmly in place.
"Well, since I suggested this little game, I'll go first," he said. "Let's see if I can impress you." He dramatically unfurled his parchment, holding it up as though it were a prize trophy.
"I have 4 EX talents," he began, pausing for effect. "Air Magic, Light Magic, Beast Mastery & Training, and Animal Empathy."
Ember let out an appreciative whistle. "Four EX? Not bad, not bad. What else, golden boy?"
Alaric smirked. "Now for the SS talents: Herbology, Astronomy, Tactical Dueling, and Magical Beast Lore.
My O talents include Charms, Transfiguration, Healing Arts, and Advanced Herbology."
Lilith raised a brow. "Not bad at all, though I'd argue the magical beast related talents make sense for you.
Nero chuckled, his tone teasing. "I'm more impressed by the SS in Tactical Dueling. Hiding behind that angelic face, are we?"
Alaric waved him off with a feigned modesty. "Oh, come now. I'm harmless."
Ember snorted. "Says the guy who has 'Super Scary' stamped on his talent sheet four times. Alright, my turn!" She unfurled her parchment with a flourish, grinning like a cat about to pounce.
"I also got 4 EX talents: Defense Against the Dark Arts, Earth Magic, Runic & Ward Mastery, and Alchemy." Ember's grin widened as she continued.
