He knew that exposing too much of his special talent might attract unnecessary attention, but completely hiding it would seem suspicious.
After careful consideration, he decided to showcase a portion of his abilities derived from his traits, disguising it as a traditional special talent.
In a series of carefully designed assessment tasks, Ron selectively displayed several key abilities.
The knowledge integration ability brought by "Extensive Knowledge and Records," the penetrating ability granted by "Insight," and most importantly, his powerful learning capability with high proficiency in multiple wizardry skills...
As the tests progressed, the expressions of the three judges became increasingly serious.
They constantly exchanged glances, occasionally whispering a few words, seemingly confirming their judgments.
"Based on our observations and the test results."
Melissa’s voice was slightly grave:
"You seem to possess the four special talents of ’Hand of a Hundred Arts,’ ’Natural History,’ ’Medicinal Body Resonance,’ and ’Insight Eye.’
Ron’s expression remained calm, though he was slightly on alert inside.
These four talents almost perfectly matched the abilities he deliberately showcased, proving the reputation of the Crystal Tower’s assessment system was well-deserved.
"These four talents belong to the second tier, with ’Hand of a Hundred Arts’ being considered very close to a first-tier top talent."
William added, with an unmistakable hint of amazement in his murky eyes:
"Possessing four second-tier talents, this combination of talents is extremely rare in the history of wizardry."
Ron nodded slightly without explicitly agreeing or disagreeing.
Based on his understanding of the Wizard World, such talents, though rare, were reasonable for a Primordial Wizard who successfully passed the Path of Truth.
On the other hand, his "predecessor," Cassandra, was only recognized with three special talents.
But among them was a first-tier talent, a level of ability that could affect fate and causality to some extent.
In terms of potential, it seemed more promising than the four second-tier talents Ron presented, and her current achievements undoubtedly fulfilled that potential.
Adding to the myriad geniuses and anomalies in history, Ron’s showcased talents, while impressive, did not entirely exceed the expectations of the School Alliance.
"Regarding your Meditation Technique traits."
Ivan cautiously inquired:
"According to the assessment results, you seem to be able to continuously increase your Magic Pool capacity under starlight. Is this a variant trait from the ’Star Eater’s Ravings’?"
Ron smiled faintly:
"Indeed. My Meditation Technique trait allows me to continually absorb Star Energy during meditation under starlight, enhancing my Magic Pool capacity and Magic Power quality."
After demonstrating so many incredible abilities, this Meditation Technique trait seemed less prominent in comparison.
The three judges simply recorded it without showing particular surprise.
Finally, the assessment ended, and the three judges gathered again, conversing quietly for several minutes before announcing the final result to Ron.
"Based on a comprehensive evaluation, we unanimously believe that Wizard Ralph’s talent level should be rated as Treasure Level."
Melissa solemnly announced, her eyes shining with sincere admiration:
"In the long history of several wizard eras, this rating places you among the top five hundred genius wizards."
"Treasure Level..."
Ivan explained solemnly, seemingly to help Ron understand the weight of this rating:
"In the wizard ranking system, those within the top ten thousand in history are called Pyroxene Level, within the top five thousand are Pearl Level, and only the top five hundred bear the honor of Treasure Level."
"Within five thousand, Pearl Level is an important demarcation, usually considered to have the potential to achieve Great Wizard status."
William added, his voice carrying a touch of respect:
"And Treasure-level geniuses almost inevitably succeed far along the wizard path, at least reaching the height of a Great Wizard."
Ron’s heart stirred slightly; although this rating was high, it was still within his expectations.
It wouldn’t waste his potential and opportunities for being too mediocre, nor attract too much unnecessary attention and trouble for being too dazzling.
"Thank you all for the thorough assessment."
He saluted the three judges:
"Will this rating be recorded in the Wizard General Record?"
"Yes, that is the standard procedure."
Melissa nodded in confirmation:
"Your rating and basic abilities description will be updated in the Crystal Tower branch of the Wizard General Record, and any wizard with sufficient privileges can query this basic information."
"However, detailed test data and in-depth analysis reports will be sealed, only accessible in full by the heads of the School Alliance and Tower Masters."
William added, seemingly to reassure Ron about potential concerns:
"This is a privacy protection measure common to all wizards."
Ron nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.
This arrangement was reasonable and aligned with the traditional practices he learned in the Black Mist School.
"Finally, is there anything else you would like to inquire about?" Melissa asked.
Ron pondered for a moment: "I would like to know what kind of study and research resources a Treasure-level genius can obtain at the Crystal Tower?"
"Naturally, you will receive the highest level of resource allocation."
Ivan answered without hesitation:
"This includes, but is not limited to:
free access to all public facilities within the school, priority booking of rare materials, a dedicated laboratory space, and most importantly, direct interaction opportunities with the top experts in various fields at the Crystal Tower."
