My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

"The requirements are simple." Now, take turns releasing your emotional energy as addicts.

"Whose aura is the gentlest and most serene—"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the three people in turn, finally settling on the white-haired girl sleeping in the wheelchair, her eyes and tone becoming gentle as water.

"Whoever can stay and marry Elune."

In an instant, as Adele finished speaking, the air in the entire room fell silent.

The sound of rain alone became exceptionally clear.

Then, Adele's gaze slowly moved and landed on Lorne, who was still trembling.

"Lorne, you go first."

Upon hearing this, Lorne's body stiffened involuntarily.

He looked incredulous.

Having just experienced the despair of life and death, how could one possibly exude a gentle and tranquil aura?

But he had no right to refuse.

Lorne's clenched fists had dug his nails deep into his palms, but the slight stinging pain was no match for the raging fear surging in his chest. So he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried his best to calm himself down.

A few seconds later, an extremely faint aura of a wind addict slowly emanated from his body.

However, this aura is like a shattered mirror.

It was filled with intense panic and fear, and the words flowed intermittently and without any order, showing no positive emotions other than anxiety.

Lorne kept his head down the entire time, not daring to look Adele in the eye.

He already knew his fate.

Although Lorne had always felt that he was no match for a nobleman like Oliver, he never expected that he would feel so lost and upset on this day.

It turns out I'm not as aloof as I thought...

Deep down, he had also longed for things that didn't belong to him...

Thinking of this, Lorne withdrew his aura somewhat helplessly, and slowly loosened his hands hanging at his sides, with red marks still remaining on his fingertips from when he had clenched his fists.

Oliver

Without even a moment's mourning for Lorne's defeat, Adele's cold voice rang out again.

After being called out, Oliver took a step forward with a smug look on his face.

He glanced down at Lorne, his disdain undisguised.

That's it?

That's hilarious!!

Ultimately, this is all the magnanimity ordinary people can muster!

Then, Oliver took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

He intended to fully demonstrate his true power as a climate master, crushing the two commoners present with absolute strength, and letting them know the insurmountable talent gap between nobles and commoners!

however--

The moment the aura began to spread outwards, Oliver's expression immediately changed.

No, that's not right...

Something seems off—

His aura was not gentle or tranquil at all; instead, it was a pure, turbulent whirlwind, sweeping wildly and tearing in all directions with an almost violent destructive urge. It stirred up the surrounding raindrops, causing them to scatter and dance wildly, and even the branches and leaves of the distant bushes were rustling invisibly.

No matter how hard he tried to control it, he couldn't suppress it; to everyone else, it sounded like a piercing heavy metal noise.

There's no way around it, Oliver was having too much fun playing inside the house.

He unleashed his meteorologist abilities with a barrage of attacks, his first battle was exhilarating, thrilling, and exhilarating.

This caused every cell in his body to be in a state of extreme excitement, and his heart was beating as fast as a war drum being struck repeatedly by a heavy hammer.

In this situation, would you allow him to release his tranquil aura?

Absolutely impossible!!!

Realizing that he could never do it, Oliver abruptly looked up and glanced at the expressionless blonde girl in front of him with a flustered expression.

Is this what Lady Adele's purpose was in launching a surprise attack before the real test?

Intentionally provoke their emotional fluctuations and then begin the test when they are at their most emotionally disoriented...

That's such a dirty trick!

Oliver couldn't tell whether the other person was disappointed or something else.

Adele's exquisite and aloof face was devoid of any superfluous expression.

So, he had no choice but to withdraw his aura, crossed his arms, and take a few steps back.

At this moment, Oliver was extremely agitated, but he was far from being in despair.

After all, given how poorly Lorne performed, it's unlikely that Weiss, also a 9th-order Wind Addict, would fare much worse.

After experiencing such a life-or-death turn of events, who could remain calm?

Unless they are in a vegetative state.

Therefore, in the end, you'll be the one who stays!

The Selenes family can only find gold in shit!

Oliver had absolutely no doubt or hesitation about this.

"..."

"..."

"Weiss, it's your turn."

The next second, as Adele's words fell.

All eyes were fixed on the silver-haired boy, a mixture of curiosity, scrutiny, mockery, anticipation, and a variety of other complex expressions.

Thus, this farce, which has lasted for nearly a month, is about to come to an end...

Chapter 25: He's actually—a climate master!?

Under the spotlight.

The silver-haired boy's expression remained unchanged as he silently turned his head to glance at the white-haired girl who was sleeping soundly in the wheelchair.

To be honest, he still has absolutely no idea what kind of person this girl is.

Although they had been in contact for more than half a month, Weiss still knew nothing about her.

Elune, Serene...

Although it is still unknown what will happen after the comatose woman wakes up.

But without a doubt, if I were to make a move here today, their fates would likely become intertwined.

This whole affair of greed should be discussed starting with the family background...

After pondering for more than ten seconds.

Weiss slowly reached one hand out of his pocket.

Almost simultaneously, without warning, the World Book's progress in the Moonlit City area jumped to 26%.

then.

"buzz"

In an instant, all was silent.

Even the sound of raindrops falling, which was once clearly visible, has disappeared.

An extremely gentle aura slowly emanated from Weiss's palm, like a gentle breeze passing through a flowerbed on a spring afternoon, or like still water on a lake that could not be disturbed by a ripple.

A gentle and tranquil state, free from any impurities.

There was not the slightest unease or restlessness.

Pure to the point of being unbelievable.

As the night deepened and the swirling wind slowly spread out, even the rain seemed to soften.

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Even Adele, who had maintained an icy demeanor throughout, couldn't help but show a slight crack.

A complex sense of reluctance slowly emerged in those shocked eyes.

At the same time, Neferpier's eyes twitched slightly.

She instinctively wanted to say something, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.

This man...

How could someone remain so calm after experiencing a sudden attack?

How did he manage to do that?!

Nefert couldn't understand it at all.

Even when she was woken up to be informed of the testing plan, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

This time...

I have nothing more to say...

It was unclear how much time had passed before everyone belatedly realized what had happened, until Weiss lowered his hand.

The dust has settled!

Once she came to her senses, Adele broke the silence first, decisively announcing the final result.

"The test is over. The one who remains is Weiss."

"..."

"..."

"The other two will receive some additional compensation."

At this point, Adele first looked in Lorne's direction.

“You can collect 10 gold coins from Sebastian before you leave tomorrow.”

Lorne nodded without saying anything.

Ten gold coins are an outrageous amount of wealth for a commoner in the lower city.

Even if one is a superhuman through the Wind Addiction pathway, it would be difficult to save up three gold coins in one's entire life, no matter how hard one works.

But at this moment, more than the excitement of unexpected wealth, he felt ashamed of himself for being satisfied with this level of wealth.

Today's events forced him to confront his true nature...

Perhaps, compared to Weiss, I am not worthy of being a wind addict at all.

Then, Adele looked at Oliver, whose face was ashen: "That deal that's been stalled for the Clayne family recently—"

"I can approve it."

Upon hearing this, Oliver's expression instantly crumbled.

His body trembled violently, and his throat was choked, as if something was stuck in it.

How could I possibly fail?

He's an 8th-level weather engineer...

How could he possibly lose to Weiss, a mere 9th-tier Wind Addict?!

He was not reconciled.

Can not accept.

Oliver was trembling all over, his knuckles were white from clenching his fists, and his nails were almost digging into his flesh.
