Nira and Aria arrived at the central desk. One of the tentacles approached them and showed its tip which also had a single eye on it.
"A new entrant, Nira?"
Nira smilingly nodded, "Indeed. Her name is Aria."
The tentacle looked at Aria and its tip slightly bowed. "Nice to meet you, Aria. I am Twig. Please put your palm here, and do not resist."
Aria saw the tentacle's tip horizontally before her and put her palm on it. 'It's soft and tickling, hehe.'
But she was surprised. Putting her palm on it, feeling this strange sensation, and introspecting herself made her realize that each and every single cell of her body was getting affected by the tentacle, indicating the microwork of Twig's tentacles.
She even felt a mysterious sensation in her origin region.
After thirty seconds, the tentacle detached from her palm and the twig spoke, "Assessment is completed. I am sending the report above. Go get the badge."
"Thanks, Twig. Come we'll go to the second floor now."
"See you later," Aria waved her hand smilingly towards Twig, who also waved its tentacles.
After arriving on the second floor, which had a way smaller hall, but had three corridors and many doors past them. It was decorated with flower vases and small, colorful glass statues.
Aria and Nira walked towards the front direction which didn't have a corridor like the other three sides, but only a single door on the whole 10-meter-wide wall.
After entering past that door, Aria and Nira arrived in a vast grassy plain with mountains in the distance, clouds in the sky, and a small sun brightening up the world.
"Woah?" Aria was surprised. "Is this a pocket dimension?"
"Indeed, and that's your assessment report along with the badge."
Ten meters away from them was a white marble table, and a round badge with bamboo trees carved on it that looked similar to the magical bamboo trees outside.
"But nobody is here," Aria said as she and Nira walked towards the table.
However, when Aria blinked once, there was an additional presence that stood before the table.
It was a beautiful elf lady with long wavy blond hair and blue eyes wearing a hunter outfit.
"You brought quite a new addition, eh? She has the Animus element awakened and her race is unique along with her Bloodline. Impressive."
The elf spoke as she touched the badge and it sprung up a hologram with Aria's details.
"And 3rd stage of Way of Unfettered finished," Nira added with a chuckle.

"Need to improve in Concepts, and learn three more Concepts. She doesn't seem to have learned any skills, so she won't be able to do much against others," the elf lady said as she rubbed her chin and nodded. "Need to work a lot."
"That's why we are going to play," Nira said as she took the badge from the table and gave it to Aria. "Keep this badge in private mode. You can access its functions by infusing a bit of Aethir force in it."
"Okie," Aria nodded.
"Hi, cutie. What's your name?"
"Aria."
"Beautiful name. I am Liz. Nice to meet you."
Aria smiled and nodded. "Me too."
"So Aria, you seem to have quite an exotic bloodline," Liz spoke with her eyes faintly gleaming. "If you don't mind, can you tell me how you got it?"
"Umm...my husband evolved it," Aria said with a grin. "He has a unique bloodline manifested and became a new type of being called Regalon, so he also made me and others into Regalon."
"Interesting. This Bloodline might make its way to the top Exotic Bloodline leaderboard once you show its power in the Realm Wars," Liz said with a laugh.
"Eh? Is it really that good?" Nira was surprised. "Master Tenebria also said it was good, but you know her tone is always leveled, so I couldn't figure it had this much impact."
"I don't know what it does in detail, but from what I am sensing, it's on par with many on the leaderboard," Liz smiled and gently patted Aria's head. "Alright, I won't waste much of your time. Good luck and do your best, Aria."
"Mhm," Aria smilingly nodded. "I will. Thank you."
"Liz, can you teleport us outside directly? Zil is waiting for us."
"So Zil got his turn, eh?" Liz chuckled. "Alright, be careful. It's Aria's first time in the playground, so take extra measures."
Nira nodded.
"Off you go," Liz waved her hands towards Aria and Nira before both of them vanished with a faint space ripple.
Appearing outside, Aria exclaimed, "So she has the Space element?"
"Yep," Nira grinned and looked at Zil's back. "Oi, Zil. Let's go. We got Aria's badge."
"Nomuu!" Zil grinned, its panda face becoming more cute as he vanished and appeared before Aria and Nira.
The furry panda grabbed the Bamboo stick and shot it up as it traveled for a hundred meters before suddenly stopping as web cracks appeared in space that soon expanded into a portal.
"Let's go."
"Woah..." Aria was amazed and excited. 'Hehe, I will experience things here first and tell it to Erix and others.'
"Come on, Aria."
Nira flew up as she followed Zil and Aria also soon flew up as she entered the portal.
