"I think... these probably aren't right for me..." Ai Wen's mouth twitched as he looked at the sinister divine names in the Magic Book.
Isaac shook his head and asked with a smile, "Ai Wen, do you know what a wizard's most important talent is?"
"Talent?" Ai Wen froze. He had not expected Isaac to bring this up so suddenly, but after a brief pause, he gave it some serious thought. A moment later, he answered, "It should be... spiritual intuition!"
Yes, spiritual intuition, rather than the magic power, mental strength, or intelligence that most people considered talents. Those were merely a wizard's basic qualifications, not true talents.
"Exactly! Spiritual intuition is a wizard's most important talent! You really have realized that." Isaac nodded approvingly. He was not surprised that Ai Wen had recognized this, since Ai Wen had worked under quite a few heavyweights in the Truth Association.
"But there's one thing you haven't realized."
"Hm?" Ai Wen frowned slightly and looked at Isaac in confusion.
"You have that talent too!" Isaac smiled at Ai Wen.
"I do?" Ai Wen's frown deepened. "How come I never... huh?!"
Suddenly, realization struck Ai Wen. He stared at Isaac, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. Could it be...
"Exactly!" Isaac clapped his hands delightedly. "It's just what you're thinking, Ai Wen. Your talent is connected to gods, or Outer Gods! Have you forgotten that famous nickname of yours?"
"Soul Mentor..." Ai Wen was speechless. Weren't you the one who spread that around?!
Although Ai Wen did not voice that last thought, Isaac could read it on his face. He waved it off unconcernedly and said, "It doesn't matter who spread it. What matters is that people accepted it. That means you really do have that potential. You should know, you've surprised me twice now."
