- 2 a talent for the first episode [effort]
Talent is a gift from God.
It is a guide to help us determine what we want to be.
Those who have turned twelve years old come to the temple to receive a revelation from God.
I was one of them, visiting the temple with my childhood friend Anna.
It’ll be fun to see what talents we get.
Yeah.
I’d love to have a [pastry chef] or some other cute talent.
You have a sweet tooth.
‘Yes! I’m going to eat it when I’m done. So please.
Okay.
Anna’s eyes twinkled as she happily ruffled her brown hair.
I’m sure she’s imagining a sweet treat she’s going to have afterwards.
And I will be the one to make it, as you can see from the conversation.
I’m surrounded by 12-year-old kids.
Among them, the prettiest one is Anna and I can’t help but notice her.
As I stand in line next to her, I’m strongly tempted to give her a break.
“Your talent is being a swordsman.
Yes!
At the head of the line, children are being told of their talents by the priests.
It seems that only a high priest, an outstanding priest, can deliver divine revelations.
At first glance it appears that being a swordsman is not a talent but a profession, but this is because of the ingenious way he delivers it.
It seems to show how talented your swordsmanship is. If your swordsmanship and magic were equally excellent, you would be called a “magic swordsman”.
The point is that it is not restricted by the original meaning of the word, and the result of seeking the easiest way to communicate to the person being addressed is apparently the form it took.
There are a lot of [Swordsman] and [Mage] people.
Anna gave her impressions of the talents she’d heard about from various people.
It seems that the reason they were originally given talents is to fight against demons. One theory is that the gods saw the weakness of mankind and decided to help us.
But I don’t know if that wasn’t enough to develop civilization, but they were also given talents unrelated to combat, such as being a merchant and a blacksmith.
Well, God knows what the truth is.
“Revell knows everything, doesn’t he?
I think a lot of people know about this.
Oh, that’s not true. Because I don’t know.
Yeah. So maybe I’m a little more knowledgeable than most people my age?
I understood and decided to flush it.
‘Yeah! I’m sure of it!
Anna gives me a little too much credit for things like this.
I often wander off because I’m not sure if I should be happy or not.
Well, I won’t deny that I know things.
After all, I have secrets.
Secrets that I won’t tell anyone about.
Next.
‘Yes! It’s me! My name is Anna!
It seems it’s my turn .
Anna replied cheerfully and used her momentum to tell him her name and stand in front of the priest.
There was a little laughter around them.
”This, this is ……”
But in contrast to his surroundings, the priest was wide-eyed.
He looks absolutely astonished.
Then he slowly announced Anna’s talent.
“Anna-san…you’re a genius. …… Your talent is the Dragon Knight.
The Dragon Knight.
It is the highest of all knightly talents.
Dragons are intelligent and quite strong.
They show respect for beings stronger than they are, and prefer kind-hearted humans.
When you fulfill these two conditions, you can tame the dragon.
In other words, the condition to be told 【Dragon Knight】 is that you must have a gentle heart that can tame the dragon and have an uncommon talent as a knight.
”Wow!
You’re so cute and yet so strong, you’re the most powerful man alive!
Anna’s talent was undeniable.
It was like forming a fan club.
“Huh? What?
Anna looked around as if she couldn’t understand what was going on.
“Come back to the temple tomorrow, Anna. Any time is fine with me.
…… uh, yes. Okay.
Anna was stunned when the priest said.
…… that’s right.
Anna is kind and doesn’t like to fight.
All I wanted was a cute little pastry chef who could make people smile.
But, well, that’s part of the reason for the revelation.
…… because Anna is a terrible cook.
Once, when I ate one of Anna’s dishes, I almost fainted.
Instead of making people smile, they died.
…… I’d never say that in front of a depressed person.
Next.
Hey.
After being told of Anna’s tremendous talent.
My talents, by comparison, would seem rather insignificant.
To limit the damage, I replied reluctantly.
“Eww… I’m sorry. Let me tell you about my talents.
This priestess was just laughing.
Why?
Do you feel like it’s a bad talent or something?
I mean, isn’t it rude to laugh at someone’s talent?
Your talent is [hard work].
What?
It was a reflexive voice.
”Ahahahahaha!”
And everyone around me was roaring with laughter.
I’ve never heard of such a talent.
And moreover, it’s obviously not something you can call a talent.
It’s clearly the worst talent.
[Dragon Knight] and [Effort]
It was too big a gap, and a laugh broke out.
I couldn’t help but lower my head.
But, truth be told, it wasn’t out of frustration or sadness that I fell on my face.
I saw potential in the face of terrible talent.
If I let you see my face, people would think I was weird.
This situation is strange if it’s not tragic.
This is why I didn’t want to tell you.
Talents are best conveyed to those who can tell them in a clearer form.
Apparently, this is all true.
no matter how great the dragon knight is, I truly believe I have a talent that has the potential to surpass it.
the more I think about it the more I realize that this talent is the best one for me.
