Dante sat beside Notan. He observed the kid and let out a sigh. "You could say I am important. I am the son of this castle's boss."
"I don't think that alone makes you important. The chief is a man of rules."
Dante nodded, agreeing with Notan's assessment of his father. He played with his black ring and twisted around.
"Can you figure out how to use the second effect of this ring?" Dante asked.
Notan didn't answer and instead started drawing a complex pattern of runes on his desk. After a while, he looked at the finished drawing and nodded.
"I can." Notan said. "According to my skill, it showed that the ring lacked energy to release the seal."
"So If I pour mana into it, I can use the effect right?"
Notan shook his head. "It is not that simple. Right now, the ring is fused with your soul."
He opened his palm and signalled Dante to place the ring. Dante complied and gave the kid his black ring.
Notan checked the ring again, this time his eyes shone bright green color.
