A few days after Samuel's visit, a royal letter arrived.
Theo read it quietly.
Charles leaned closer. "What is it?"
"…The church is conducting a children's power evaluation," Theo replied. "All noble children of this age must attend."
Oliver, sitting nearby, looked up.
Power check…? Like talent measurement?
Samuel brightened immediately. "Good. I'll show everyone."
Sebastian laughed. "Confidence suits you."
Theo glanced at Oliver. "…You will go too."
Oliver nodded calmly.
This could reveal my abilities… I need to be careful.
---
The grand church looked even larger than before.
Children from different noble families stood in line. Some nervous, some excited.
Oliver noticed them.
A shy omega girl clutching a book.
A cheerful beta boy waving at everyone.
A quiet alpha with silver hair.
New characters… new powers… interesting.
Samuel crossed his arms. "Too many people."
Oliver replied calmly. "Competition."
Samuel smirked. "Exactly."
---
The priest stepped forward.
"Each child will place their hand on the divine crystal. It will reveal their affinity and potential."
A glowing crystal stood in the center.
One by one, children stepped forward.
"Fire affinity — low."
"Wind affinity — medium."
"Earth affinity — high."
Murmurs filled the hall.
Samuel went first.
He placed his hand confidently.
The crystal flashed red.
"Alpha Aura — High."
"Wind Element — Strong."
"Combat Potential — Excellent."
Sebastian clapped proudly. "That's my son."
Samuel looked at Oliver. "Your turn."
Oliver stepped forward.
His heart beat slightly faster.
Stay calm… don't release too much.
He placed his small hand on the crystal.
For a moment—
Nothing happened.
Then—
Light exploded.
Gold.
Silver.
Blue.
The crystal vibrated.
The priests froze.
"What…?"
The light spread across the entire hall.
Children stepped back.
Theo's eyes widened.
Charles whispered, "Oliver…?"
The crystal displayed:
Magic Affinity — Unknown
Element — Multiple
Divine Blessing — Confirmed
Potential — ???
The crystal cracked slightly.
Silence.
Oliver blinked.
…I did not expect that.
Samuel stared. "…That's unfair."
Sebastian laughed loudly. "Now this is interesting!"
The shy omega girl approached Oliver. "Hi… I'm Elena."
The cheerful beta boy waved. "I'm Ryan! Your light was cool!"
The silver-haired alpha nodded. "Lucas."
Oliver smiled.
New friends acquired.
The priest bowed slightly.
"This child… is extraordinary."
Theo placed a hand on Oliver's shoulder, pride clear in his eyes.
Charles looked emotional.
Samuel huffed. "…Next time I'll still win."
Oliver smiled gently.
This world… is getting bigger.
And in the church filled with shocked whispers—
The small omega heir stood quietly,
Surrounded by rivals,
New friends,
And powers no one fully understood. ✨
