My F-Level Talent Isn’t Actually That Bad

In a world full of mana where talent awakening happens at the age of seventeen, everyone is judged by their talent level. Norman awakens to the worst possible outcome:



F-rank talent. That’s right. F for failure. But the truth is far more complicated. Norman's so-called "useless" ability, an Equal Exchange System talent, lets him trade anything. While everyone else only gets one talent during their awakening, Norman can trade for multiple talents.



Wait, why is this OP talent rated F? Now that I think about it, the principle behind it is equal exchange, equal means no extra benefit, which means... F-rank.



But still, my talent isn’t actually that bad!
