Chapter 9 Doubt.

The doors of the elevator opened. I saw a woman standing outside who respectfully said to me in a sweet and gentle tone.

"Please follow me, sir."

"OK''

I replied with half enthusiasm and other confusion in my voice to appear indifferent to what was happening so they would think I was clueless.

I followed the woman, the man who took me up here wasn't with us, I a.s.sumed he wasn't allowed on this level of the Union so he should have gone down.

Speaking of a higher level, this place was decked! There were paintings all over the walls. The hallway seemed way too medieval to be in a futuristic society like d.a.m.n!

h.e.l.l if it wasn't for the fluorescent lights on the ceiling I probably would have been fooled into thinking we were in a n.o.bles castle or something.

We quickly reached a wide area of land. It looked like a testing field. In the center was an orb that looked to be the same one that my talent was evaluated on, Just with a h.e.l.l of a lot more decorations.

"Please put your hands over the orb in the center over there."

She said with a gentle tone.

I entered the field and immediately became irritated. Why? Because of the number of eyes staring at me. For G.o.d's sake at least try to hide your presence people.

I looked up and saw multiple people who were leaning on the balcony above watching me with curious eyes.

Paying them no mind. I walked over to the orb and put my hand on it.

It glowed white again, this time with an even brighter light and soon the light slowly was starting to turn black before I hurriedly took off my hand off the orb.

"My G.o.d he truly has an SS-ranked talent! "

"Unbelievable... "

The people on the balcony muttered, with pure shock present on their faces. Seeing them I thought with a bit of pride.

'Hah! See the might of a dragon subspecies you lot! '

As I was drowning in the shock of the people on the balcony. Two Men rolling a pod came to the field. I was instructed by them to go in the pod and so I did.

The pod was a stat measurer. By laying inside the pod it would put all sorts of needles and tubes inside me to measure my stats.

I remember the protagonist Elijah saying that it was painful, So I truly hoped it would go well.

The pod closed and released a gas which made me drowsy, Pretty soon I began to lose all feeling in my body and quickly fell asleep.

The people outside waited with antic.i.p.ation, probably because of how high the talent of the awakened being tested was, they would have a.s.sumed his stats were also high for his age.

Soon the pod began to announce the stats of the one inside of it. And the people?

Their expectations were well met, some even surpa.s.sed.

[Awakened:Alan Peccator. Age 15, Strength E+

Agility E Endurance E+ Mana D Intelligence* D

Recorded affinity Ice (Superior) ]

BOOM!

like an explosion just went on inside the heads of the many people inside, all their thoughts became alike.

'I need to get him into our guild!'

That was the common thought they had in their minds but they could only wait until the test was truly over.

For there was still one more part if it left.

The Second affinity test. The Machine had already informed them of him having a ridiculously high ice affinity then could there be another one?

This wasn't common but it also wasn't like it had never been seen before. Multiple humans had awakened with two or even more than two affinities, with the drawback of the grade of these affinities being low. But Him?

There was a good chance that he had another affinity whose grade wouldn't be so high when his ice affinity had been taken into account.

So they could only wait.

The pod opened up and the youth that was inside sat up. He was still connected to the tubes, which now had the purpose of detecting whether what he said next was true or not.

The final test was a lie detector test because the orb could only sense the highest grade affinity of the partic.i.p.ants and disregard the lower grade ones, they had to do it by this method

Of course, the dwarves had even better instruments that could accurately judge how many affinities a person had, but they were on their planet. The humans also had no way of contacting the dwarves because the latter much preferred to stay alone and experiment. Unlike the elves who had spatial magicians and could go whenever they wanted to and from the earth at will. Humanity had no spatial mage. And the elves also rarely came to earth because they didn't have a likeness for humans, A majority of them hated humans who were so prideful and disrespectful to nature.

Alas, this was the only way the humans currently had to test if the youth had another affinity or not.

One of the men who transported the pod inside the field asked the youth.

"Can you please open your status?"

The youth, Still clearly drowsy replied.

"huh What? "

"Your status, Can you please open it?"

"Oh okay. "

The youth replied lazily and then yelled out.

"Status!"

And immediately in front of the youth his status screen materialized in, containing all the information the pod had stated prior, with a few being secret of course.

"Can you check if you have another affinity instead of ice?"

"Yes"

BOOM!

Like another bomb had blown up inside their minds the audience quickly became restless.

Not minding the atmosphere, the man asking the questions soon asked again.

"Can you tell us what it is and its grade?"

The youth replied, now with more vigor as the drowsiness he had felt had nearly washed away.

"It says s.p.a.ce (High) "

There was utter silence, The only sound present was the sound of the pod glowing green indicating that the youth had spoken the truth.

Utter shock.

The audience had expected another affinity, but never had they expected the youth to have an affinity for an element that hadn't ever been seen in the human race before!

This was a historical occasion because on this day.

Humanity had acquired its first Spatial Mage.
