I arrived in front of a massive building whose roof I could not even see no matter how I looked up
Due to it being early in the day it wasn’t as crowded in the streets but holy hell it was bustling inside the building.
I entered the building and went to the receptionist, well the only one I could find that had a relatively short line.
After waiting for a while it was finally my turn.
“Excuse me I came here for a talent evaluation.”
The receptionist replied without taking her eyes off the computer.
“That will be 1200 Studs. Would you like to pay with credit or ca-”
She looked up from her computer, presumably to take the payment and assign me a ticket when she paused, looking at me for a while she said.
“.. Credit or cash?
She said with a hint of pity in her tone.
I, who already expected this because of how malnourished I looked, replied.
” Card”
I gave her the card, She scanned it, gave it back to me, and also gave me a white card with the number 555 written on it. When I took it she said.
“Please wait in the lounge, When you hear your number getting called go to room 17.”
“Okay”
I then went to the center of this floor where the lounge was supposed to be.
Honestly, it looked nothing special, the first floor of the Union that is. I was kind of expecting more.
Anyways, Since I’m a dragon subspecies my talent rank will probably be between S Too SSS, It would cause quite a stir because currently, humanity didn’t have a SSS ranked individual.
I knew exactly how the talent assessment worked so I should be able to deal with it l.
It worked by figuring out how much mana the person could absorb. If they could absorb a lot of mana into their bodies then they will naturally be able to grow a lot stronger the more mana they could take into their beings. 𝘳𝑎.𝗇t
This was explained in chapter 537 When Elijah Ardor trained humanity’s first spatial mage so that he could hide his real talent assessment rank so that big guilds couldn’t go after him and he could easily recruit him. He also gave him an artifact that changed what affinity he showed, so instead of his unique spatial affinity, it showed a low fire affinity.
Me?
I was planning on doing the opposite.
Why? Because although you can live well being a lower rank, you didn’t get as many opportunities to grow, A dragon was the embodiment of the masters of mana, I could already tell that my assessment would be special because of my skill, Mana master was a staple passive skill of the ancient dragons. Hell if I tampered with the assessment I would probably arouse suspicion.
And I also wanted to be humanity’s first spatial mage, not because of the fame.
But because of the money.
The only reason the protagonist, Elijah Ardor could compete with his friends who were all from incredibly influential families. They were filthy rich. So Elijah made use of the special spatial attribute to earn a lot of money.
That was the true reason I was planning to make it clear that I had two affinities, I wanted to do one but my ice affinity had already been revealed, The Union probably had records of it considering I broke the affinity measurement orb.
As I was deep into thought. A voice sounded out through the speaker.
“NUMBER 555, COME TO DOOR 17 FOR YOUR TALENT EVALUATION.”
Welp, Time to go make history I guess.
I walked towards the door that had a huge holographic 17 Above it. Below it was a screen that showed the talent of the individual who was being tested.
Standing in front of it I handed the card the receptionist gave me to the man who was standing in front of the door. Looking at me with eyes full of suspicion he quickly made a call.
‘Good god people, can you all stop? ‘
Well, I couldn’t do anything about it considering my condition.
After making the call and confirming it truly was me. He let me in.
Following him in, He guided me to an orb and told me the instructions.
“You just have to put your hands on the orb and it will do the rest ok?”
I nodded, Preparing myself I took a big breath and put only one hand on the orb.
,m The orb didn’t glow for a while. And then it immediately shined a White light.
Hulu.
This was it, My talent as an SS rank.
Suddenly the orb was beginning to turn black, the moment I noticed the change I immediately took my hand off the orb.
Couldn’t have them find out my true talent.
That would lead to too many problems.
I immediately used the hand that was on the orb to cover my eyes as a distraction so that the man could deduce that I was shielding my eyes from the bright light.
When the light eventually faded. All I could see was the look of shock on the man’s face.
Trying to make myself appear as if I knew nothing I asked the man.
“Umm is white good?”
Of course, I knew white was good. it was fantastic even but I needed to put on the act.
The man who was still in shock fell over on his bum.
“Uh-Uh S–SS rank… ”
He muttered, Shock still evident on his face.
Immediately he took on his phone and dialed a number. He was soon finished and said to me.
“Please follow me, sir.”
I did as he asked. Not even being surprised by the respect he was immediately showing me. He stood in front of the door for a while, then his phone rang and he opened the door.
What awaited outside the door was a crowd of reporters and ordinary people. All trying to get to me who were luckily being stopped by men in black suits. If they hadn’t been I honestly think I would have been trampled.
The man took me to the elevator, The reporters and people especially tried to get a good look at me but they were stopped by the men in black suits who made a safe road to the elevator with their bodies blocking the reporters.
They were probably awakened because I didn’t think normal humans could stop so many people at the same time.
We quickly got in the elevator, the doors closed and the man pressed some buttons.
I meanwhile tried to keep my head down, Not because of embarrassment but because I was too busy trying to hide the smirk on my face.
‘Heh, so this is what it feels like to be famous,
Nice.’
