After a week of training the day of examination came.
It was raining.
The clouds covered every inch of the sky don't letting even single ray of sunshine get ast them.
A group of kids were waiting in
excitement
This time the group was a little smaller...
The ones that were missing were mostly indigent kids that couldn't make it in the Spirit Zone
The rich kids didn't even notice...
'Of course why would young masters care about fate of some peasants.'
In the center of the group was young girl with crimson hair.
It looked like every drop of rain was afraid to touch her
Her presence was warm and calming but it wasn't the kind of warmth you would feel from mother it was more like that of a general lifting up wills of his soldiers
Nobody even dared to say anything to her
Her name is Tessia Ashbourne the fifth dauther of the Asbourne family
There were rumors that she was given a very strange kind of True Soul
Of course strange for the bloodline of the Ashbourne family
When practically everyone derived from Ashbourne family had powers related to fire
Her was merely akin to it
Nobody knew exactly what power she was given but it had to be a very strange one
'Well who am I to judge my own power isn't a normal one'
Even if every power was different from one another they often had similiar roots
Let's say that one from Asbourne family was given True Soul description of it was:
[You can make and control fire]
While a different member of the family was given true Soul with a description
[You can make and rule fire]
The first granted user control of more weaker fires while the second one granted the user control of more powerfull fires but the quantity of it wouldn't be the same
The same was with every True Soul
Their descriotion could be different only by one word but the ability of each one could be completely different while some descriptions of True Souls could be be completely different from each other but in the end it was practically the same power
"Klein Goldenbird it's time for your examination"
Klein's been chosen as the first to enter the examination room
The room wasn't very spacious but it looked luxurious. Inside man in his forties was reading some papers while drinking tea.
After browsing through the papers he looked at Klein
"You must be Klein Goldenbird. Please take a sit"
"My name is Ryan Warkiz I'll be your examinator now make yourself comfortable. I'll ask you a few questions and I would be more than happy if you would provide an answer to them"
The gentle smile, calm presence and a man from upper class being polite for some outskirt rat
Klein thought to himself
'Yeah I'm not buying that...'
He knew that goverment liked to have people under control and the best way to do that was to understand the power and weaknesses of them.
He knew that if he would tell them toomuch those informatins could be dangerous foe in the future
He planned to tell them just enough to be evaluated as a decent fighter but not enough for goverment to know his every secret
"Firstly, please put your hand on this orb"
Ryan putted a blue orb on the desk
This was an identity orb
The indentity orbs were used to store information about every awakened in the word
Every orb could store information about only one person at a time making it a perfect ID
The orb could store only basic informations such as
name ,category ,rank and title and a True Soul name of the awakened
No True Soul ever shared the same name with another one so it was really easy and simple identification method
After Klein touched orb it started
glowing
The light was bright enough to temporarily blind someone
After the light disapperad on the orb apperead a couple of runes
[Klein Goldenbird]
[True Soul: Stronger than ever]
[Category: ?]
[Title: ?]
[Rank:?]
Examinator noted something on a piece of paper
"Okay now anwser some of my questions"
Klein tried to answer question of the examinator without telling him details
This way Klein could be benefit from priviliges of being evaluated as a high rank without telling them the real application of his abilities
He didn't tell Ryan about his ability to learn new skills with astonishing speed because this way goverment could greatly limit his priviliges regarding fighting techniques
They don't want some outskirt rat who's been abandoned by them growing too powerfull
He could get some stupid ideas like revenge and give them retribution
"From what you told me I think that I should put you in the melee category"
"Well that would be all please go to the next room. They will evaluate your rank there
Klein stood up from the chair
He entered a big hall made out of metal
In the middle of it stood a bald man in his forties
It's the same man that was overseeing Klein's Trial
'Huh... His head still looks like an orb'
The man streched his arms and then sayed
"So you've been assigned to the melee category."
"It's bothersome but I'll try to evaluate your rank without breaking all of your bones... But don't be mad if I break one or two"
'Ahh... just grat I really am lucky to run
across such insane examinators'
The man shot like a bullet Klein barely was able to react
He bounced of the wall and layed on the floor
"You shattered my rib you son of a...
Examinator shook his shoulders I
"I warned you"
Klein grinned
"Well it was more threat than warning but fair enough"
Klein knew that he didn't had achance to win this fight but he knew that if he was able to imress this man he would be evaluated highly
'So... I just need to keep fighting to the end'
Lucky for him that was his specialty
