“I will go first, then.” The machine resembled a large 4 meters tall thin PC, where the keyboard would have been was two handprints. Even though a flash of hesitation went through Brance’s eyes, he still placed both feet on the little mat with footprints, and his palms hovered above the recessed dents.
Looking down at the machine, Brance felt the beads of sweat forming on the back of his neck as well as the heated gaze of his older brother.
‘Tobs, please hide my Bloodline so I appear 100% Human to the machine. Also, I need you to make my Distribution three stats, STR, VIT, and INT; lastly, could you hide my subclass?’
-Of course, not a problem, Host Brance. The total SP needed to make the visible adjustments is 50.-
Brance quickly checked his available SP before giving Tobs confirmation to deduct them.
-50 Skill points have been deducted.-
-I have completed the task; you will now appear as a pure human, with a three stat distribution, and a pure Warrior.-
‘Thank you, Tobs.’
-Un, no biggie.-
Taking a deep breath, Brance placed both his open palms on the recessed positions on the flat surface.
“Beep, Beep, application process initiated; please state your name.”
The instant his hands touched the cold metallic surface, a pleasant female AI voice spoke, requesting his name.
Unsure what name to use, Brance paused for a second, but he heard Cynrik’s voice in the mind link a second later.
[Use your Alias. If there really are reincarnators from our era watching, the names should fly under the radar for the most part.]
Brance nodded before speaking in a clear tone, “Björn “Ironside” Ragnarsson.”
Hearing Brance register under a different name, the three instructors wore an intrigued expression but soon remembered what their boss Councilor Garn had told them. Before they left, they were explicitly warned about the two boys; aside from not revealing anything from the test itself, they were informed that the two would be registering under an alias due to familial issues.
Cinyah only wore a sad expression, as she knew her children were being forced to protect themselves from both her family and Rikards.
“Vocal recognition accepted, creating a file for the applicant, Björn “Ironside” Ragnarsson, please do not move. You will feel a slight prick as I draw some of your blood for analysis.”
Half a second later, Brance felt an itch in the center of both his palms, but he didn’t react to it.
“Beep, blood analysis complete, synchronizing with applicants System please wait for a moment. Complete, displaying applicant file, please direct your attention to the display.”

“The overall rating for Björn “Ironside” Ragnarsson is S-Rank Applicant.
Brance flinched as his Status was laid bare to everyone, causing audible gasps from the instructors and even Cinyah.
Cynrik raised an eyebrow and quickly read through the application file on screen. Then, sighing internally, he realized several bits of information were missing from the file, along with the addition of a rating system classifying Brance as S-Rank.
[Atleast they didn’t show how many Stat and Skill points you have. It’s also good that it didn’t individually list out all your skills. Odd, though, that it didn’t give a comprehensive breakdown for ordinary skills and only gave a tally of your Affinity skills. Still, it looks like we will be causing some waves.]
[The real question is how many S-Rank applicants show up for the exams.]
[Regardless, we will be on everyone’s radar, Brance, so don’t let your guard down.]
“Application process has been completed; you may now remove your hands and step away to allow for the next being to apply.”
Brance was forced to quickly back away when he noticed he was about to be steamrolled by all three instructors, who rushed up to the machine and began reading through everything.
“This is astounding; he is only 11 years old, and not only is he at the Peak of Tier-1, but he even completed the full Prestige mode, obtaining the Body Reforging Title and maxing out all his stats. The sparring matches alone reflected their capped stats, but I didn’t expect all of them to be at 300.” Said Professor Hues.
“It is to be expected. Did you notice the Body Reforging title? He has already maxed out his Prestige at Tier-1. What’s more impressive is that the boy has a Stage Three Mantra; with his profile alone, he will already be peerless among first years at Quest.” Mr. Kein said while rubbing his chin in thought.
“11 years old and already considered an S-Rank Applicant; this is crazy. Every other S-Rank I’ve seen in the past has been three to four years older than him. What I find truly impressive and downright horrifying is the boys Killing Intent; think of how much death the child has seen to be able to use 4.25g. Not only that, but look at his Grav Resistance and Body Tempering; how many children his age can boast those kinds of attributes. ” Dr. Effrin’s mouth opened and closed like a fish as he read through all the data and made comparisons.
“Hold on, if the younger brother is this exceptional….” Mr. Kein paused, drawing the attention of his colleagues. Then in unison, all three men’s heads swiveled towards Cynrik, making him shift uncomfortably due to the sudden increase in attention.
“Tsk, out of the way, you fucking geezers; this shit is already testing my patience as is.” Not bothering to hide his frustration and anger, Cynrik cursed aloud, drawing an angry glare from Cinyah. However, he was too pissed off to care.
“If you want me to complete this stupid and meaningless application, get out of my way.” Stepping forward, Cynrik’s eye twitched as he watched the three grown men act like excited children on Christmas.
To Cinyah’s surprise, the three men ignored her son’s rude comments and happily stepped to the side, allowing Cynrik to step up to the machine.
‘Tobs, make the same changes to my profile as you did for Brance; the only adjustment is I want my Distribution to be DEX, AGI, INT.
-Affirmative, the cost for making the adjustments is 50 SP.-
‘Mhm, go ahead.’
-50 Skill points have been deducted.-
Wanting to get this whole event over with, Cynrik placed both feet and hands on the highlighted areas of the machine.
“Beep, Beep, application process initiated; please state your name.”
“Ivar Ragnarsson, AI, set my alias to, The Boneless.”
“Vocal recognition accepted, creating a file for the applicant, Ivar Ragnarsson, the applicant has annotated they have an alias, “The Boneless,” which has been accepted. Please do not move. You will feel a slight prick as I draw some of your blood for analysis.”
Just like Brance, Cynrik didn’t flinch. However, his left eye twitched slightly in annoyance when he felt the tiny needles pierce his skin.
“Beep, blood analysis complete, synchronizing with applicants System please wait for a moment. Complete, displaying applicant file, please direct your attention to the display.”

“The overall rating for Ivar “The Boneless” Ragnarsson is SS-Rank Applicant.
“Application process has been completed; you may now remove your hands and step away to allow for the next being to apply.” Like before, the pleasant voice said its parting words before powering down, leaving the room in silence.
“SS-Rank…” Professor Hues trembled and placed his hand to his chest, feeling his pounding heart rate to confirm he wasn’t dreaming. Unfortunately, Dr. Effrin and Mr. Kein weren’t any better. The two were frozen in shock with only one thing on their minds.
‘Monsters, these two brothers are monsters.’
Clicking his tongue at the reactions of the grown men, Cynrik clenched his fists and walked over to his brother and Mom’s side.
[Cyn, why did you get a higher rating than me? Aren’t our stats basically the same?] Tilting his head to the side, Brance tossed the question into the mind link, ignoring the babbling adults who had rushed up to the machine again.
[If I had to guess, It’s because I have the Will Power Stat and two additional Fusion Affinity Skills. I don’t see me having ten more MP than you being a deciding factor, so they are basically the only explanation.]
