Chapter 18: EX 18. Revelation II
Selene, still wiping her tears, looked up. As Her voice trembled with sudden hope.
"Wait... Leo, did you awaken a talent?"
Leon gave a slow nod. "Yes. I did."
Stunned silence fell over the room. Even Darian and Valeria who rarely showed surprise at anything visibly froze.
Selene stepped forward quickly, eyes wide. "What rank is it?"
Leon opened his mouth. "It's Ex—"
Before he could finish, his father shot up from his chair.
"You awakened an Extraordinary rank talent?!"
Before Leon could clarify, his mother had rushed to him, pulling him into a tight embrace.
"I knew my boy would awaken a talent," she whispered, clutching him. "I never doubted it."
Leon, his face half-buried in her bossom, thought dryly, 'Weren't you crying a second ago, fearing I didn't awaken anything?' But he didn't say it aloud.
