Chapter 709: Evaluation (1/2)

Gravis wanted to know, but he accepted that it was better if the results were shared with him when his daughter also got to hear them. Because of that, he didn't inquire further and left the shop again.

The next couple of years, Gravis relaxed again, waiting for Yersi to finish her comprehension.

Around seven years later, Yersi came out with excitement. Finally, she would get to know which Laws she had certain affinities for.

Because of that, Gravis and Yersi immediately went back to the Smart Cultivator to get her results.

As soon as Yersi gave back her current Virtualization Array, one of the clerks pulled Gravis and Yersi over to a side room.

The clerk ordered some high-quality tea, and they all only had some small talk until the tea arrived.

The tea tasted absolutely incredible. Gravis was a fan of coffee, but he could also imagine drinking this tea from now on. Of course, this was only natural. After all, the business of Virtualization Arrays was one of the most profitable businesses in existence. Buying expensive tea didn't hurt them at all.

The clerk left, and someone else entered the room. This was a man dressed in a very professional black suit. His demeanor basically screamed successful businessman.

”Hello, my name is Jake, and I'm responsible for evaluating the tests and advising our customers,” he said as he gave Yersi his hand. Yersi was the one that ordered the test, which meant that she was the customer. Because of that, she should receive her greeting first, even if there was someone more powerful standing beside her.

”Thank you, Jake,” Yersi said with a smile. ”I'm Yersi, and this is my father, Gravis,” she said as she gestured to Gravis.

”Hi,” Gravis said nonchalantly.

Jake also gave Gravis his hand with a smile. ”Don't worry. We only have the best interest for your daughter in mind,” he said.

”I know,” Gravis said.

Jake gestured for them to sit again and sat opposite the two. After that, he quickly retrieved a jade token and checked over it again. After some seconds, he nodded. ”We can definitely work with that,” he said.

”Now,” Jake said after putting the jade token away again. ”Let me first introduce you to our evaluation rating. We generally rate someone's affinity towards a specific category of Laws from one to five.”

”One means you have basically no talent and that you need to work a really long time to make any progress in that category of Laws. There is even a high chance that you will make no progress.”

”Two means you are not suitable for this category, but you can still achieve something by working harder than others.”

”Three means average.”

”Four means you are talented in this Law and that you will be able to comprehend these Laws very quickly. Tempering might even not be necessary to understand the harder Laws of this category. Therefore, we generally aim to recommend to you categories with an affinity score of four.”

”Five is rare, but it happens occasionally. Five basically means you were born for this Law. These Laws come very naturally to you, and you feel an intrinsic connection with them. It's less understanding Laws and more the Laws telling their secrets to you,” Jake said.

Gravis and Yersi nodded. Everything seemed straightforward. The fact that Jake also said that he could work with this data meant that Yersi had at least one category of Laws with a high aptitude.

Jake waited for questions, but none came.

”Alright then,” he said. ”Now, let me just address the elephant in the room.”

After that, he turned to Yersi. ”You obviously have an affinity rating of five for lightning-related Laws, and I'm certain that you know that. So, why would you want to find a different category?”

Yersi had comprehended Punishment Lightning in less than a century in the middle world. This was insanely fast, and it was evident that her biggest affinity lay in that group of Laws.

Yersi looked at Gravis, but Gravis kept silent. This was her conversation.

Yersi sighed. ”My father is the being with the greatest affinity towards lightning that has ever existed. Some of his traits have carried over to me and my siblings, which also gave us a great affinity towards lightning.”

The clerk looked at Gravis with shock but also with a bit of skepticism. This was quite a bold claim.

”My father agrees,” Gravis said as he flashed his Obsidian Ring.

Jake took a deep breath of shock. It was one thing to claim that, but it was something entirely different when it was the Opposer that claimed that. After some seconds, Jake looked back at Yersi. ”Okay, but that didn't answer my question,” he said.

”Well, the reason why I want to look at other Laws is Law Comprehension practice,” Yersi said. ”Father thinks that comprehending these lightning Laws so quickly doesn't give me enough experience.”
