Chapter 71: Dual Path
After Luna agreed to the date with Theos, Alice was annoyingly on her way to Building 01, where the trio entered.
They encountered a bunch of young people lining up to pass by a machine.
Each young man put his hand on top of the machine, which made a sound and finally, the machine displayed a color.
“What is that?” asked Alice.
“That over there is a machine to know what your Path is, it is very common among nobles to know exactly the path of the family members,” replied Luna.
She had seen several of these, and as the daughter of a Marquis she knew exactly their functions, she even had to be evaluated with this machine so her parents could know her Path at birth.
“That’s right,” Theos confirmed Luna’s words.
Also as an obsessed reader of the novel, everything she said was true, he didn’t even feel the need to add anything else.
“Oh, I see, sounds quite interesting…”, Alice commented, approaching the line.
Theos and Luna followed her, the three of them being in the last three places in line.
“Hey, if you want we can trade places, everyone is willing to trade places with you,” said a young man in line.
Theos raised an eyebrow, noting the next person who would test the machine, he smiled.
“Then, I’ll be the next one to test, after that young man,” Theos pointed to the next man who took a step in front of the machine.
All the young nobles wanted to do favors for Theos, being family to the most powerful duke, the very heir to the same, and as if that wasn’t enough, a celebrity in his own right.
And the commoners were no different, they equally or even more wanted to do favors for the black-haired man.
So when they saw him in the last place, all the students decided almost instantly to give their places to Theos.
Of course, except for some students like Eleanor, Nora, Elsa, Elena, and one or two other heroines and plot characters who had pride of their own.
Several minor nobles tried to engage Theos in conversation, but he just stared at the man who placed his hand on the machine.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed Alan, already in a lousy mood, had no hope of anything new coming out of the road checker.
Sometimes, but very few and far between in history the path detector would detect a hidden Path, although the chances were slim, there were still some.
Before Alan could take pride in his luck, after all, every single thing he did work out well, he was powerful, a genius and quite handsome, it was no joke to say that he considered himself the luckiest man in the world, in a hypothetical case, he would have trusted his luck so much that he could trust the machine to detect two Paths.
But recently so many things happened to him… It was also no joke to say that he now considers himself the unluckiest man in the world.
“Anyway, let’s get this over with,” sighed Alan.
Wanting to get it over with as soon as possible, he placed his hand on top of the machine, which detected the contact, glowing a yellow that signified his Path with Electricity.
“Good,” Alan congratulated himself.
With nothing unusual happening, he already considered it good luck, but under the gaze of all the students the machine changed color to a gold so intense that it was blinding to those standing around Alan.
“What?”, Alan’s surprise knew no bounds.
But the next moment, his surprise was even greater when he saw an image being created above the machine, the image of a … Dragon.
“A Dragon Path!”
“This is something like no other, this I could consider a… Supreme Rank Path!”
“It’s the Dragon Warrior!”
This last comment almost made Theos himself spit blood. ‘What thing? Dragon Warrior? It just lacks… Everything,’ he chuckled to himself.
All the young men had stopped their conversations to directly observe a practically historical event… The birth of a Dragon Path.
The vast majority know the significance of the machine emitting an image and that is that the Path is very powerful, so powerful that only the Supreme ranks or close to it can match it.
“Tsk, that bastard… He’s too lucky! But I’m happy for him, he’s my brother after all,” Luna said.
She had mixed emotions, mostly anger, and joy, she felt good and happy because she knew that her brother had been down, but she also felt anger got herself for not being able to compete against her brother in anything.
Noting the annoyance in Luna’s eyes, Theos then stroked her head.
“He is strong, but I certainly think you can defeat him if you face each other,” he declared.
“Don’t tell lies,” she angrily contradicted.
“It’s not a lie, I really mean it completely,” with a smile, he stopped stroking Luna’s hair to step out of the line and walk straight towards the machine.
It was no lie, from life and death combat experience Luna is a formidable warrior, she had learned and trained hard to bridge the great gap between her and Theos. In a battle to the death, Luna could defeat Alan.
‘It’s bad luck that I don’t trust her abilities that much,’ he thought, then shook his head.
Removing those thoughts from his head, Theos arrived directly at the machine, some teachers had already arrived to investigate and ask questions to the protagonist, Alan.
But Theos did not care about this in the least, placing his hand on top of the machine, the machine gave off a black light.
Not only did it stay there, but the machine emitted a large image above, an image of a knight with black armor and black wings, but his hair was pure white.
“I have heard that the Path of Theos is Celestial Corrupted.”
“Right, it sure is a Supreme Rank Pathway or it might even surpass that.”
“It’s just too scary.”
But the conversations soon stopped there when the light of the machine changed from a black color to a full red color, like bright blood.
A Dual Path.
