Chapter 11: Next Trial! (2/2)

Everyone knew that the magic energy capacity determined the evolutionary stage of magicians.

For example, a magician that can contain one to ten units of magic energy in his body is classified to be at level one of the magical realm.

Theo Rose, whose body could store 98 units of magic energy, was at the 9.8 level of the magical realm evolutionary stage!

”I've never heard about him before this day. The surname Rose doesn't belong to any of the famous magician's families either. Just who in the world is he?” Nina Olsen thought as she looked at Theo.

Theo acted as if he didn't notice the commotion he has caused in the examination room and proceeded to place his hand on the Ability Affinity Device.

It didn't take more than a few seconds for the dark crystal ball to release a blinding purple and green color, signifying Theo's affinity to Wood and Space Abilities.

Not just Nina Olsen, but even the students felt like they were losing their shit as they gazed at the blinding lights shooting out of the crystal ball. What the hell is going on? Is he a human beloved by the divine? How come he not only possesses extreme talent as a magician but also has an affinity to the rarest abilities?!

”You can contain both spatial and wood ability cells in your body?!” Instructor Nina asked as she gulped her saliva, feeling perplexed at the present situation and awed by the youngster in front of her.

”Yes, instructor,” Theo replied in a calm tone.

”Have you awakened?” She asked, trying to look at him with a calm expression but unable to hide the astonishment she held for Theo presented in her eyes.

Awakening was a term used for Magician who possess a ability.

There were two ways a magician awakens an ability.

The first and the most followed method was to slay monsters, obtaining evolution material from their bodies, purify it into a state where it can be consumed without harmful side effects such as monstrous mutation, and consume it to gain supernatural cells in their bloodstream.

The magician will awaken an ability once enough supernatural cells are present in their bloodstream.

Of course, they could only contain supernatural cells they have an affinity to in their bloodstream.

The second method only worked for talented magician.

Some extremely talented magicians awaken an ability when they're feeling happy, sad, or stressed, less talented ones need to face life-threatening situations or extreme emotions to awaken an ability.

”Why do you ask?” Theo Rose asked with a questioning look in his eyes as he looked at her.

”Ah, it isn't for something personal.” Instructor Nina Olsen said, ”If you don't have an ability related to your affinities, then we will provide you with the necessary resources to awaken one.”

”I possess abilities related to my affinities, so I don't need the academy's favor,” Theo said in a calm tone.

”Okay.” Nina tapped away at a holographic panel that suddenly popped up in front of her, registering Theo's information into the Magician Association database.

”Can I go now?” Theo asked.

”Yes,” Nina replied.

Theo walked away from her, approaching Elliot and sitting in an empty chair beside him.

His actions caused everyone's eyes to widen in surprise!
