Castelle felt information wash over her brain, filling it with ideas, formulas, and knowledge that related to business management. It embedded deep into the crevices of her mind, allowing her to become adept at her new job instantly.
It was uncomfortable at first, especially since she was enlightened with knowledge from Michael’s foreign world. But as the golden light faded, Castelle felt a warm sensation flow through her body, allowing her some reprieve after the overload in her mind. It was even more relaxing than the hot springs back in the Vanderbilt mansion.
Then, the knowledge consolidated. Her mind felt as refreshed as ever, with the added bonus of mastery over business management.
She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the Young Master looking at her with a smile.
“How is it?” he asked her.
Castelle looked at her hands, and somehow, felt some kind of power coursing through her veins.
“It’s…magnificent. I can see things a lot clearer now, Young Master. You’ve given me a gift!”
Lylia and Bart waited curiously for Castelle’s explanation for what happened to her. After all, they didn’t even think that it was possible to awaken someone’s talent when they were already past the age of 10. But somehow, Michael’s Supreme Skill allowed him to bypass that restriction.
“Castelle? Can you tell us what you feel?” Bart asked.
Castelle looked at her hands and waved at the air as if she was seeing something in her vision.
“There’s a screen in front of my eyes,” she said. “It has my name…my talent…my skill…and my current realm!”
Michael’s eyes widened, not expecting that Castelle would also be endowed with a system of her own.
[Would you like to inspect Castelle’s system?] ChatJK2 asked him.
As soon as Michael said yes, he saw another window screen pop up in his vision, showcasing Castelle’s current powers.
[Castelle]
[Magic: B class]
[Element Mastery: Unity element]
[Magic Purity: 87%]
[Mana Quantity: N/A]
[Talent: SS-class Business Mogul]
[Realm: 1-star CEO]
[Skills:]
— Golden Nose
—— The user will have good intuition over business decisions.
— Lesser Unity Gathering
—— The user will have an automatic gathering of all elemental mana.
— Lesser Unity Defense
——The user will have a limited defense against all elemental magic and spells.
His eyes widened once he saw her system. He didn’t expect that she would also gain mastery over all elements, or Unity, as well as the impenetrable Unity defense.
ChatJK2, is this her natural talent, or did she learn this from me?
[All the individuals you awaken will inherit an inferior version of your skills. Would you like to turn off this automatic skill inheritance?]
No, no, leave it on for now, he replied.
[You have obtained the Superior Golden Nose skill.]
What? How did I get that?
[This is due to your Supreme Skill: Mana Gathering. It allowed me to observe Castelle’s skill and copy it just like any other magic spell.
However, the original Golden Nose does not add much benefit to you. Therefore, I adjusted the skill into a better version.]
Michael saw a window pop up in his vision, allowing him to see the description of his new skill.
[Superior Golden Nose]
— The user will have an intuitive sense of situations and decisions that will lead him to find talented individuals.
Unlike Castelle’s version of the Golden Nose skill, Michael would find talented people instead of monetary gain!
Michael was amazed at his Supreme Skill. With this power, he could find seemingly normal people and turn them into geniuses and talented individuals in their own right.
Most people would have thought that once they were past the age of 10, they would no longer have a chance to ascend to greater heights. But with his Supreme Skill, he could find hidden gems and diamonds in the roughs within the crowd!
Castelle and Michael both explained to their parents about what she gained during this awakening.
Once they found out how amazing she turned out to be, Bart and Lylia couldn’t hide their surprise and almost jumped out of their seats.
“Is this…is this real?!” Bart exclaimed, rubbing his head as he tried to wrap his mind around what he had just witnessed.
“My son…my dear son…he’s too much of a genius!” Lylia chuckled to herself.
Not only could Michael awaken the talent of a person even though they were past the age of awakening, but he could also endow them with skills and masteries that would have made them famous in the entire country!
They didn’t even know how to process this information. After all, someone like Castelle never showed any sign of magic proficiency in her life. But now, Lylia was somehow seeing signs of mana elements slowly gathering around Castelle, just like Michael was when he was meditating.
They couldn’t believe it. That wasn’t supposed to be possible.
“I’ve heard how powerful a Supreme Skill is supposed to be…but I didn’t expect it to be this absurd!” Bart exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Castelle walked over to Michael and tugged on his shirt.
“Young Master…the knowledge you bestowed upon me has given me an idea of how we can proceed with the sewer system.”
Castelle’s new business acumen and knowledge worked instantly. It didn’t even take her a second to think about the solution to their problem with the sewer system. It was as natural to her as breathing.
She then went on to create an impromptu presentation meeting inside her office detailing all that they needed to accomplish for the project.
Her hands wrote on paper as she explained to everyone, not even giving Bart any time to breathe out a response. He was forced to listen to her words and try to keep up with what she was saying.
And the more she went on, the more Bart was impressed.
Castelle told them in great detail about how much time they would need to start the construction, how much manpower they needed, where they could get them, and even the hour-by-hour timeframe for the workers to make sure that they wouldn’t disturb the citizens for too long during construction.
Her grasp on time management, communication, leadership, and even delegation was incredibly sharp. Her ideas were innovative, and if implemented in this current world, could increase efficiency by at least three times!
“Is this the…business management knowledge you gained from Michael’s Supreme Skill?” Bart asked.
Castelle nodded. Everything about the sewer system made sense in her head. She had a full grasp on it.
“Young Master, I have a solution to get the public approval for this project,” Castelle said with confidence.
“How?” Michael asked.
“If you would like, Young Master, we can start to sell the plumbing system you installed in the Vanderbilt mansion.
If they see how easy it is to get running water on their houses, they would be more than happy to let us start construction on their houses. We’ll install plumbing pipes and the sewer system at the same time.
This would accomplish two things: first, we can start the sewer system properly. And second, the Reborn company could also earn a lot of money from selling faucets and shower heads.”
