27 How can someone be so untalented?! (1/2)

”Cough! Cough! are you stupid? How can becoming a Chosen be as simple as you asking him! It's him who chooses you dumb kid! I'm sorry master he is too young and stupid ill have a talk with him later!” The old man shouted as he smacked Jino on the back of the head.

Looking up from the scroll the attractive man turned his deep purple eyes towards the two which gave them both goosebumps. Edyta had taught him how to check for talent and he actually wanted to give it a try so why not do it now? He raised his hand to stop the old man's anger before he had a sudden heart attack.

”It's fine, I don't mind it. Also call me young master from now on and make sure to let the villagers know that as well. And you, come here” He said pointing his finger at Jino.

The two become nervous but Jino moved quickly not wanting to upset the powerful divine and stood by his side.

”Give me your hand” He said as he extended his open hand forward.

Jino was confused but he quickly put his hand inside the young man's hand. He was surprised to find how pale and soft it was which was completely different from all the other men in the village that constantly worked with tools the whole day, it could even be easily mistaken for a girl's hand.

Malik's left eye twitched slightly as he noticed what Jino was thinking but he chose to ignore it.

”It might hurt a bit but just hold on.” he said as he inserted the pure darkness element slowly into Jino's body as gently as he could.

Jino could see a darkness moving from Malik's girly hand into his own from under their skin. He was scared but he didn't dare move.

As the darkness element moved into his body the black haired man closed his eyes in concentration as he quietly watched what was happening in the kid's body with his own mana.

The darkness element was in a strange state in between liquid and gas and when it made its way to the center of Jino's body it started to slowly spread out. It was only when his body became full and started to reject the darkness element did he stop.

On the outside Jino and the village head were frozen in fear. Jino had black tendril like things moving around inside his skin all over his body even behind his eyes it was extremely terrifying but they didn't dare make a peep. If he wanted to kill them all there was no need to go through all this trouble so they could only trust him. Also Jino didn't seem to be in pain at all so it should be okay right?

The elements could be converted passively into mana by their bodies but how much it could do at once showed how talented you are with said element. Inside Jino's body he found that the amount of darkness element was only enough to fill a tenth of his body.

But of course darkness wasn't the only element Malik had so after waiting around 5 min for the darkness element to dissipate from Jino's body he started to inject the element of gravity as well however a few minutes later he looked surprised at the even smaller amount of element sitting in the kids body. 'How can someone be so untalented??!”

There was one last thing he could try though. Using his finger he poked the little sand crab asleep on the side of the table gently until she opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion. Using his mana he told her to try checking the boy's talent with her earth element.

Nodding her head the little crab scuttled to his side and put up her claw towards him. Jino only looked confused at the little sand crab not knowing what she wanted. The little crab stomped on the table in anger and pointed her small claw towards his hand. It was only then that he understood and put his hand opened next to the table where she put her small claw on his hand.
