With that change, the scene on the platform seemed to descend into madness as martial spirits started bursting out from all over the platform.

Mystical swords, Vicious beasts, hell, even strange structures like statues and even towers appeared.

Martial Spirits of all shapes and sizes started appearing all over the platform, but one thing they all had in common was a strange sphere over the heads of each martial spirit

Be it Red, orange, yellow or even purple, every single martial spirit had their own coloured orb overhead showing the quality of each Martial Spirit

Dante wasn't in a hurry to release his martial spirit and instead began observing the martial spirits of others.

But soon after Dante began observing others, he heard a loud shaking behind him

"MOO!"

The loud cry of a bull erupted behind Dante.

Turning around, Dante could see that the source of the sound was actually Lennox!

from the bright brown light behind Lennox stepped out a terrifying creature.

It had the upper body of a human, yet not just any ordinary human.

Its upper body muscles were packed to the brim, practically popping out of its skin. A top of the humanoid torso lay a terrifying bull head with burning amber eyes and a pair rigid protruding horns.

The creature was supported by the lower body of two powerful bull hind legs.

Minatour!

Lennox's martial spirit was Minotaur! A tyrannical half man half best abomination with a brash and brutal temperament!

As soon as Lennox's Martial Spirit formed, a small sphere formed above the raging Minotaur.

Soon, a bright yellow light radiated from the sphere.

Seeing this, Lennox cursed in frustration

"Fuck!! So close!! I was so close to a purple rank martial spirit!"

but despite his frustration, Lennox soon calmed down

"Well, whatever, at least it's still above average!"

Lennox sighed as he approached Dante.

"What are you doing sitting around? You've not even released-"

But before Lennox could even finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the loud crackling of lightning

"Crackle! Crackle!"

The bright thrashing of lightning radiated around on the awakening platform.

"BANG! BANG!"

Two frightening lightning bolts shot down, blinding everyone looking on.

From the blinding light, a titanic figure emerged

A giant easily over 8 metres tall, fully clad in steel armour with a giant war spear in hand. The giant's face was obscured by the helmet on its head, but a terrifying pair of eyes glowing with blue thunder staring down at everyone looking at it.

As soon as the young prince's martial spirit finished forming, a purple sphere of light hovered over its head, showing the quality of his martial spirit.

"Purple Martial Spirit!"

"As expected of a young Prince, the bloodline of the royal family really is unmatched!"

compliments and words of admiration started pouring from everywhere on the awakening platform at the scene of the prince's martial spirit.

But unlike most people around him, Dante wasn't half as impressed

"Purple rank martial spirit, is that it? With terrifying name of storm giant, I was at least expecting something more."

Dante was disappointed. If that was all the bloodline of the royal family had to offer, it didn't seem like that it was so special after all.

But before Dante's assumptions could continue, he heard Lennox start speaking.

"Don't let the performance here fool you. That young mans talent is very mediocre by the royal family standards.

I can't say for sure on other tests, but at least for the martial spirit test, it's not rare for the slightly more talented members of the royal family to have at least golden rank Martial Spirits!"

"Well, I guess I've waited around enough. Let's have some fun, shall we?" As Dante finished speaking, a wide smirk crept into his face

The air around Dante rapidly heated, causing the surrounding air to distort under the ridiculous temperatures

"Boom!"

A wave of flames erupted behind Dante as a terrifying beast flew out of the blaze behind him

"Roar!!"

A terrifying draconic roar erupted as Dante's first Dragon soul, The Red Dragon, burst out onto the Awakening platform.

As all this was happening, a blinding sphere of golden light started forming over the Red dragon.

"Gold...Golden light! Someone has a golden rank Martial Spirit!"

Instantly, the platform burst into chaos

Who would have thought that the most talented person here would actually not be a member of the royal family but actually some random fellow?

...

At the spectator stands, one elder of the Department of War of and Combat was stunned by what he saw and couldn't help turning to the department head.

"Head, is this why you came? To recruit this talent before the other departments?"

But before the elder could continue speaking, Vincent interrupted him

"He's not finished."

"Pardon?" The elder couldn't understand what he was hearing

"That boy, he's not finished yet. Just continue watching and see."

The elder then turned back to the platform in disbelief, but aside from disbelief, there was a growing anticipation of what kind of ridiculous talent he could possibly witness.

...

Back at the platform, Dante couldn't help but laugh at the plain look he was getting from Lennox

"Why am I even surprised?" Asked Lennox

"A monster like you getting gold rank in the other tests, it wouldn't make sense if you didn't at least have a gold rank Martial Spirit?"

"Well, don't be too surprised, Lennox. I've not even finished yet."

"What?!?"

Hearing this, Lennox finally couldn't stay calm anymore. He almost couldn't believe his ears!

If what he was hearing was true, then Dante...

but before Lennox could continue thinking any more, a blinding flash of silver burst forth from Dante.

Suddenly there was another Deep Draconic roar as smaller yet just as deadly creature burst forth from the dazzling Silver light.

And just like last time, a bright golden sphere formed over the head of this Dragon.

"Dual spirit Awakener! A Golden rank Dual Spirit Awakener!"

"My god..."

but the ones most shocked were the ones who had been with Dante from the first assessment

"That Monster!"

"Not only did he get a Golden rank in all the previous tests, but he's a golden rank Dual Spirit Awakener too? This man... how the hell are we supposed to compete!"

The people in Dante's group from the start had already had enough of Dante's ridiculous antics and started to pour out their frustration.
