Chapter 215: Maggy's Love
"Pfffttt hahaha!! Is he really Blessed?! Don't tell me you did this all just to tell a good joke Marcel? You did this entire act just to tell me that this kid isn't even a Blessed One?! Hahaha!" Marcus laughed out loud when he saw that the machine responsible for measuring Noah's Blessing didn't seem to receive any sign of energy leaking from him.
At that moment, even Marcel was looking at the machine with a stunned expression. He never understood why Noah was considered a Blessed Rank F by the GBC app, but who knew the reason in fact was that apparently the machines couldn't even read the power of his Blessing?
As much as Marcel was in doubt, he had already seen Noah's strength in the Fortresses personally and knew that this young man in front of him could be almost anything, but weak was definitely not one of those things. So the only thing he could do was act like it was natural. "This test is useless. Noah's strength has already been proven by me. This machine has been in the family for so many years that I have no doubt that it is already starting to fail."
Even hearing that, Marcus and Mason's mocking expression was still on their faces. "Okay, 'the machine is defective' is what I am going to put in the report, but are you sure you want him to be tested? I will not ask again: From here it will be at his own risk. This boy who hasn't seemed to have even stopped drinking milk is still going to die on the next test. Don't blame me for that, as Mason is being instructed to act like the boy is at least a peak Blessed Rank D.
"Just shut up and do the damn test!" At that point, Marcel didn't even have the patience for these two. The only thing he wanted was for Noah to pass this test right away and they could go.

In that place there were various scattered debris of broken things used to make the terrain complex, in addition to the lighting in the place being very low to be even better for a confrontation. "To get this over with, let's go straight to the combat test. If your little friend passes, he won't need to take the support test."
Noah went through one door while Mason went through another, each leading to one end of the large shed.
In the room where the spectators stayed, Maggy was sitting down while eating a small candy that Marcel had bought for her while showing her the Khan Conglomerate. As much as she was very young, she was also quite a mature girl. Beneath the childish and silly expression was a very intelligent girl who had recently discovered her love for burning things and monsters.
But in that moment, her love was converging into something different. Never in her life had she felt more like burning a person than she felt like burning this man in front of her.
The feeling was even more apparent when she found out that this man was Marcel's uncle. It flipped a switch in her that made her relate their relationship to the relationship she and Noah had with their own uncle.
Noah had told her that a person in a rival gang had killed her uncle and that she shouldn't worry about that man or the rest of their family again, but when she saw on television that her uncle had been found dead with several burn marks near the site, in addition to his house that was burned in several places, she immediately related it to the Blessing that her brother had.
At first she was a little scared about it. She felt it was a little scary to imagine a person being burned alive, but when she started to burn the monsters with her fire animals, Maggy found out how good it was to hear the monsters' scream while they had their souls being devoured.
As she looked at Marcel's uncle, she remembered what had happened to her uncle and for a few moments she thought that doing this to this man who kept trying to humiliate her brother and his friend, was not a bad idea.
Unbeknownst to Marcel, Marcus, Mason, or even Noah, there was now a pyromaniac among them. Hidden beneath that cute little face and Maggy's innocent appearance there was an urge to burn everyone who did harm to or threatened her brother immediately.
Noah had told her that she would have to wait a few years to be able to officially register with GBC, since the minimum age was 15 and she was still only 12. But in the meantime he would find a way to make her also get Exp points - but for that she would have to promise him not to use her Blessing in front of others unless it was as a last resort.
It was common for family members to be Blessed by the same god, as families usually shared the same belief, so Maggy having a Fire Blessing so similar to Noah's was nothing strange. After all, they had grown up in the same family.
Because of the promise she had made to Noah, at that moment she restrained herself from summoning her fire animals to devour that man who kept insulting and trying to humiliate Noah, but in this she made an oath to herself that in the future she would get stronger, very strong, to the point that no one could act against her brother like that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Noah had known her thoughts, he wouldn't have been able to resist pinching her adorable cheeks, since it was the same thought he had about her, with the goal that he was getting stronger not only for personal satisfaction, but so that in the future no one stronger than him might appear and be able to put the life of Maggy and the people close to him at risk, just as his uncle had done in the past.
But unfortunately Noah didn't know that. So without knowing that he should pinch his sister's cheeks, he walked inside the arena while looking at the dark place using his [Pyakugan] to find the best way to get to Mason as soon as the test started.
As much as he was tempted not to give his all in this battle to see precisely how much he improved, he knew that he could not play with Marcel's prestige in the family like that. It was obvious that Marcus would spread this throughout the family if he lost.
So Noah decided to give 100% of himself from the beginning. As the opponent was a Blessed Rank C, Noah expected the man to be at least some challenge, since he was tired of holding back showing his full strength in the Valorwatch tournament.
