SSS-Ranked Skill in a New Filthy World-Chapter 74 S-rank

It was finally afternoon, and today the sun was out.

The sun had climbed halfway into the sky by the time it was noon, preparations were already made, and it was left for the individuals to arrive.

Roman stood in front of Anya, adjusting his shirt. His heart beat a little faster than usual. It was finally time, he was going to be in front of people from the city and couldn’t be looking like a guy from the boonies even though he was.

"Perfect, but I still don’t know who you’re trying to impress; you’re already handsome as it is," Anya spoke.

"It’s not about that; I just want to look good too," Roman replied.

He and Anya stepped out of his room to see Amelia waiting in the living room, her usual smile lighting up her face as she saw Roman.

He was truly handsome, more handsome than any males she had seen.

She wore a simple dress with a blue ribbon tied around her waist—clean and elegant.

"You look good," Amelia said, smoothing his shoulder with her hands.

Roman gave a small laugh. "Do I look like someone about to awaken a powerful ability?"

"I just don’t want you to be disappointed about the result," Amelia spoke; she was almost sure Roman wouldn’t awaken any ability.

Males who were sent to villages by the kingdom don’t usually have any powerful or useful abilities; most of them are just normal people with Mana, like Amelia, Anya, and most people in their village.

The trio walked together toward the ceremony grounds which was really just the back of Cecilia’s house.

They finally arrived, and everyone in the village was present, apart from the pregnant woman, but her mother was there; since this was a small village, it was normal for all the villagers to attend the ceremony.

Colorful ribbons fluttered in the breeze, tied to wooden poles and Cecilia was in the center of it all.

At the center, a wide magic circle had been drawn with glowing silver lines. Runes shimmered faintly across the pattern, and a crystal stood at the edge, resting on a stone pedestal.

The three mages from the capital were present, wearing long dark robes and standing nearby looking around.

Roman felt a hand touch his shoulder. He turned to see Reina.

"You’re finally out of bed, how are you feeling?" Reina asked.

"I’m glad you’re concerned about me, but I’m fine; you should be concerned about yourself because, after this, everything will change for you," Roman spoke.

"Why are you so sure I’ll awaken a powerful ability, of course I want to but I can’t predict what’ll happen"

"It’s just a hunch"

"Okay, let’s see" Reina said.

Before they could say more, Cecilia raised her hand to speak and everyone turned towards her.

"Everyone, today marks the beginning of some of your journey. As you know, if you awaken an S, A, or B rank ability, you’ll be required by law to join the academy; if not, you’ll be free to do anything else," Cecilia spoke.

"You’ll stand in the circle and it’ll light up, you might experience a little pain or not, it differs, after which you’ll place your hands on the crystal and it’ll light up which will reveal your rank and type of magic you’ll be able to utilize, or the crystal would remain like that meaning you won’t be able to utilize any magic" Cecilia spoke.

Roman took a deep breath as he watched; there was no certain order as all of them stood in a particular place; the girls there were Reina, Luna, Lina, Liora, Melissa, and Selene.

The first to go up was Luna, who was visibly nervous as she stepped up; Roman watched as the magic circle beneath her feet lit up. After that, the crystal was handed over to her, and it lit up.

Cecilia took the crystal from her and spoke, "Elemental mage, C-rank." She spoke, and immediately, Luna’s eyes lit up, and a smile formed on her face.

Since she was a C-rank mage, she wouldn’t be forced to attend the academy as she didn’t want to; she walked back to the group with a smile on her face.

Lina was the next, and unfortunately, the crystal didn’t light up; she didn’t seem particularly angry as she walked back, Liora was the same, and she was also happy, just like Luna.

Next was Selene, Cecilia’s daughter.

Since she was first, Roman wanted to use this to see when he had sex with her, his stats increased by 5 so she would awaken either a B or C rank ability.

As she placed her hands on the crystal and it lit up and Cecilia announced, "B-rank, Elemental mage"

’I knew it’ Roman muttered.

Next was Melissa, who also awakened a C-rank ability as an elemental mage; she won’t be forced to the academy but has an affinity for magic. fгeewebnovёl.com

Then it was finally Reina’s turn, and Roman watched as she stepped in; after that, she held the crystal, and it turned bright red instead of lighting up. Cecilia was shocked, the same as the mages and everyone else there.

"S-rank" Cecilia spoke without even collecting the crystal from her hands.

When a crystal lit up and it wasn’t the usual white light and was red, it was a sign that the person holding it was an S-rank mage, then Cecilia took the crystal from her hands and announced again.

"Summoner," She spoke, and Reina began walking back, even though she was shocked by what just happened.

She couldn’t believe she was an S-rank mage; this phenomenon had never occurred before; a commoner becoming an S-rank mage, she was going to be the very first.

Finally, it was Roman’s turn.

Roman stepped forward, he inhaled deeply and walked into the circle. The moment he stepped inside, he felt a strange vibration under his feet, like something was stirring beneath the earth. The runes on the ground lit up faintly.

The magic circle lit up and he didn’t feel any pain till the light faded away.

Roman reached out and grabbed the crystal with both hands. It was cool to the touch, almost icy. He closed his eyes and concentrated even though he wasn’t told to.

Suddenly, the crystal pulsed.

A warmth spread from his hands, up his arms, and through his chest. The circle glowed brighter, the runes pulsing in rhythm with his heartbeat.
