Chapter 2

“Karl Soro, no magical talent!”

Kakarot’s indifferent voice echoed through the parade square as he announced Karl’s assessment result.

No magical talent.

Karl removed his hand from the magic monument. He looked down at the students below and the school higher-ups.

They were all looking at him.

The only one who didn’t look up was Headmaster Rayne.

In fact, Rayne hadn’t looked up since he arrived at the square.

It was as if he did not care about the assessment at all.

As for those who were looking at him, their eyes were filled with pity, mockery, and other human emotions.

At this moment.

Karl felt at ease. He wasn’t as nervous as he’d been before the assessment.

“This is good too. It’s good to be ordinary…”

Karl muttered to himself. There was a bitter taste in his mouth.

He was about to walk down.

In his mind.

A mechanical voice sounded.

[Ding, no magical talent detected in the host, binding system activated successfully.]

System?

Karl did not expect to hear a voice and was stunned at first. Then, excitement set in.

He was actually not of this world, but had come from a cerulean planet.

He had transmigrated to this world eighteen years ago.

He was no stranger to the system.

This was because he had read some web novels in his previous life. The protagonists in those novels were able to become successful in life thanks to such systems.

He did not expect to finally get his system.

“System, what can you do?”

Karl asked silently.

[Host, this system is a binding system which can be bound to anyone. After which, you can share the cultivation advances and magical talents of the bound person.]

The system’s mechanical voice spoke again.

Hearing that.

Karl gasped.

He could not hide the joy on his face.

What did it mean to be bound to someone?

It was equivalent to having someone else cultivate for him.

If he could bind himself to a Great Mage, a Magi, or even a Legendary Archmage, his future achievements would be limitless.

Furthermore, he could share their magical talent.

While Karl was still in shock,

the system’s voice continued.

[Host, the system has detected the best target to bind to now is Violet High School’s principal, Rayne Kirby. Do you want to bind?]

The system’s voice sounded at the same time.

Information on Headmaster Rayne appeared in Karl’s mind.

“Rayne Kirby: Great Mage, lightning mage, elite lightning magical talent.”

When Karl saw this message, he was shocked.

The headmaster had always seemed like an ordinary person.

Rayne was in his forties and spent most of his time in a daze. He did not interact much with others and often did not wash his hair or trim his beard.

He was extremely sloppy.

Who would have thought that he was actually a Great Mage?

And he had elite lightning magical talent!

On the Magic Continent.

The ranks of mages ranged from low to high: one-star mage to nine-star mage. Above them was the Great Mage, followed by the Magi, then the Archmagi.

Above them all was the supreme being.

The Legendary Archmage.

It seemed that a Great Mage was not that high up in the ranks.

However, there were exceedingly few of them.

There might not even be one in a city!

Now, it turned out that the headmaster of Violet High School was a Great Mage.

Karl was still a little stunned.

“Bind!”

Despite his surprise, Karl didn’t hesitate.

Rayne was a Great Mage. If he could make the other man cultivate for him, wouldn’t it be easy as cake for him to quickly improve his ranking?

Karl responded to the system in his mind.

In the next moment, a golden thread that only he could see appeared out of thin air.

It glowed brightly.

The thread passed through the layers of space and connected him to Headmaster Rayne who was dozing with his head lowered.

This golden thread was specially created by the system.

Even a Great Mage would be unable to detect it, much less a Legendary Archmage.

[Congratulations, Host, the binding is successful.]

Upon hearing the system’s announcement, Karl nodded slightly and smiled.

With the system, he wouldn’t have to worry about his cultivation anymore.

As long as Rayne trained, he would gain cultivation and experience through the system.

Just as Karl was thinking about this.

Kakarot’s voice spoke up from beside his ear. “Your assessment results are out, get off the platform.”

Kakarot looked at the teenager in front of him.

He knew how great a blow it was for him to find out that he had no magical talent.

Therefore, Karl was in a daze.

He gave the boy some time to take in the assessment result.

However, seeing that he had remained on the platform and was holding up the assessment of the students that came after him, Kakarot’s patience was finally running out.

Karl looked up at Kakarotto and said intently, “Teacher, I would like to be assessed again.”

After all.

The system had said so.

Once he was bound to another, not only would he share the person’s cultivation advances, he could also share his magical talent!

And Headmaster Rayne had superior lightning magical talent.

In other words…

Karl’s current magical talent was also superior lightning.

Kakarot frowned after he heard what Karl said.

As far as he was concerned, Karl was simply unable to accept the results and wanted to try again.

However, what would change if he tried again?

Trying once more would not change the fact that he had no magical talent.

“That’s enough. Stop embarrassing yourself up there. It’s impossible to get the results you want even if you try again. You don’t have magical talent.”

Kakarot hadn’t said anything yet.

This voice came from within the crowd below.

It was Rimon.

He had already been assessed to have superior fire magical talent and his future was bright. The entire school would have to make concessions for him.

So what if he ridiculed Karl in public?

On the platform.

Karl ignored him. He did not even look at Rimon.

He now possessed the system and superior lightning magical talent.

If he continued to bicker with Rimon, it would make himself appear crass.

He looked at Kakarot with determination and stubbornness in his eyes.

Kakarot saw the look in his eyes and said after a moment of silence, “I’ll allow you to be assessed again. Remember, there’s no third time.”

It wasn’t common for the same person to be assessed, but there had been precedents.

However, for all those people, the results of the second assessment were the same as the first.

Since this young man was so stubborn, Kakarotto would give him a chance to completely clear his doubts.

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Karl smiled.

Then, he extended his hand and pressed it firmly on the magic monument.

One second, two seconds…

Ten seconds…

Nothing happened.

Just as Kakarot was about to announce the results again.

Dark clouds gathered rapidly in the sky and covered it. The entire world darkened.

Lightning flashed through the thick clouds from time to time.

A lightning bolt suddenly crashed down!
