With a lot of anticipation in his heart, Rein checked out his affinities. He had read lots of books related to magic in the last five years so he was decently knowledgeable about the topic and was capable of understanding if his affinities were good or not.
So it turned out that Rein had managed to awaken a total of three affinities. Normally for 90 percent of the awakening cases, the mage would only awaken a single affinity. So getting three affinity was definitely uncommon. But it was not something that would blow someone's mind off as there were people in the history of this world who had managed to awaken seven or even more affinities.
So even if the quality of Rein's affinities were not good, he would still be able to go far with the quantity alone. But fortunately he did not need to worry about that as the quality of the individual affinities were also pretty good.
The first affinity that he and awakened was "Void". In this world affinities were not just simply elemental and they could be of various kinds. Anything in the world could become an affinity. For example, someone had the affinity of Rage and there was also a person who has an affinity called green metal.
Rein had tried to find out as much information as he could about various affinities but he had never heard of the void. And from what Rein could feel, this affinity was related to the control of space, gravity and related laws. It was definitely a powerful affinity.
Next, his second affinity was "Truth". This was actually a famous affinity that Rein knew about. A legendary saint from a distant nation had this affinity. It allowed someone to see through all lies and even read people's minds. This was definitely a very powerful affinity. Explore stories on M V L
And finally his last affinity was "Physic". From what Rein understood, this affinity would allow him to cast magic on his own body to make it stronger or to give various effects. This was also a well known affinity which almost no humans ever showed. But foreign species with strong physical bodies like Ogres or Giants awakened these affinity quite often.
Any overclocked spell was extremely unstable. The Hero Mage Ungram had actually died after one of these overclocked speyll lost control. He was not the only one who passed away that day but everything around a 100 kilometer radius from where Ungram was at the time of the disaster, completely disappeared because of the unstable spell. So this talent was also extremely infamous for this incident.

After Rein's awakening as a mage, this news spread far and wide. The people who lived in this territory were happy as they would not need to worry about not having a future leader after this. Some of the nearby barons and Viscounts also sent congratulatory letters celebrating this occasion. As for any higher ranking nobles. For them just the appearance of a new mage was not a big deal. If Rein was appraised to have impressive talent, only then would they be interested in him.
So while basking in the glory, the day of Rein's appraisal soon appeared. Normally the family of the person getting appraised would be extremely worried but that was not the case with the Markarm family. Rein awakening as a mage was all that they needed. They did not have any bigger ambition. If Rein had high talent then that would be awesome. But even if that was not the case and he had the lowest level of talent, they would still be happy for Rein.
So even though his family and friends were not worried about him, Rein was feeling curious about the reaction that other people might have after seeing his affinities and talents. All his affinities were rare and his talent was a legendary one that belonged to the most famous and super powerful hero of the legend. Anyone knowing this would definitely go mad.
If Rein could he would have liked to hide some of the abilities. After even after researching a lot and trying out even his otherworldly abilities, Rein was unable to find a method to fool this appraisal machine. So instead of trying to hide it, Rein decided to master them well enough so that he would have the strength to protect himself and his loved ones. So even if someone got any bad thoughts after knowing about Rein's powers, Rein was prepared to completely crush that person.
So how would this appraisal ceremony go ?
