one of them was a girl who had protected Edward earlier, while the other two were guys.
Edward was one of the people who were desperately breathing.
he couldn't stand the pressure, it was understandable he was nothing but a F rank and who knew how powerful zeferino was. even people standing looked much older than him and even they had buckeld up knees.
And unlike Eric who had not buckled under the pressure of Alex because of his pride, Edward didn't have the same feeling.
He lived most of his childhood normally and had just recently came to know about his father being leader of one of the great family.
zeferino looked around and noticed that everyone was beginning to stand up.
"Now whoever's name is called shall go inside the container to test their mana quality."
"Mika Alexander"
zeferino stated ats girl who saved Edward stepped forward to the container.
Inside the towers
"that girl, is she your niece from Max's side?"
Aldrian asked Cynthia as her husband Max had come from the alexender family.
"yes she is his deceased sister's daughter, I had adopted her as no one else seemed to want her."
"I understand but she cannot fight for the head of the family's position at most I can allow her to be elder."
Cynthia felt silent, she didn't like her daughter to be discriminated against but she couldn't say anything against family rules, rather what Aldrian said about giving her the position of elders was already stretched, as there was no way someone without Alastairs blood would be given the position of elder.
Cynthia stayed silent, she chose to believe in her father's words.
on the platform
Mika was already inside the container.
zeferino told her to do mana control, and all eyes locked down to her, some wishing her the best while some silently wished for her to have low talent.
As Mika started doing mana control she started seeing, shiny illusory balls of blue colour floating around her, and as could the people outside. and they were astonished.
"that's at least S rank mana quality!"
"yes, yes, who knew an even adopted child could have this much potential!"
while Cynthia was beaming with happiness as well, she gave Ryland a smug face.
He had always been telling her that she should leave that child alone, because she was not of there blood and would never awaken a good enough talent.
"let's see if she has a good enough Arcane power for that talent." ryland said
Cynthia lost here smug expression. After hearing Ryland's remark.
"OK, come out now"
zeferino said and front of container opend up, and Mika came out.
Now zeferino led her to black Orb with white intricate patterns on it.
"Keep your hands on it until that screen doesn't light up with blue colour."
Zeferino said and pointed at left side where giant screen was assembled.
Mika did as she was told and put her hands on black Orb, white intricate patterns started shinning as soon as her hand touched the orb.
Giant screen started showing some words
With her name at top.
And soon the screen turned blue for second and Mika lifted her hand from the orb.
Mika looked at the screen slightly startled.
Screen was showing her status window's exact replica.

Mika soon noticed that it was not showing her skill but only some basic level.
"Very good! Your talent is outstanding you will surely be given place in main family"
Zeferino stated while smiling, with all his teeth. which caused all the other people on the platform to shiver. it was unknown if that was intentional or by accident but zeferino managed to increase his fear on other just by his smile.
"Ok , you can go and wait at the side or you can leave."
Zeferino said and then started calling another name.
Meanwhile Mika walked to the side, making it known to other that she was interested in others performance.
Step by step all the people on the platform were called upon, until only Edward was left.
"Edward Alastair!"
Zeferino called out loudly.
Edward didn't say any thing and just entered the container.
Before coming here Draven had taught him mana control.
After Edward started doing mana control he and people outside began to see illusory ball of blue colour floating around him, they were the biggest and darkest they have seen till now.
"That- That! Is atleast SS rank right ?"
"Who is he? I have never seen him before. Is he from low level branch family?"
"No no, I heard the commotion earlier between him and lenn.he said that Eric is his brother and then Lenn was calling him bastard of direct bloodline or something."
"Then his father must be-"
As Chaos was spreading among Spectators another round of investigation was also being held in one of the towers.
"You had another son!?"
Synthia voiced excitedly, which made Draven wonder about what she was so really exited about. Surely it couldn't be just his son.
"Yes, unfortunately his mother died in accident."
"Congratulations brother, you've got quite the gifted son."
Ryland wasn't stingy with his praise either.
It was widely known fact that he was bloodline fanatic like his father.
Despite that relationship between Four siblings was never strained.
Allvar was the only one who remained silent, and continued to observe Edward.
Edward came out of container and moved towards the orb.
While Edward was moving toward the orb Draven got a phone call.
Initially he wanted to ignore it but as he saw caller id he picked it up.
"Yes?"
"Sir we found him! "
Hearing that Draven suddenly stood up and attracted attention from everybody.
"What?! You found him? Where is he?"
After person on the other side answered Draven hung up the phone.
"What happened?" Aldrian asked
"We found Eric"
