Book 1: Chapter 37: Evaluation Part IV
Scarlet
I swear, some of these tests are just trying to torture us. And why does Allen keep staring at me like Im doing him some great disservice or something? Its getting annoying and awkward.
Allen takes in a deep breath before letting it out again. Then he repeats that process once more and says, While your capabilities may be theoretically impossible, dont let that get to your head. It doesnt mean you're immediately the strongest person even close to your level or anything like that. All it means is that your physical capabilities will rise at a slightly faster pace than everyone else on average. But there will still be people who even at the same level or below you can challenge you with ease as long as they focus on one stat or just happen to counter you.
I nod my head, taking his advice to heart.
He nods back before pressing the okay button on the screen that appeared after I finished the last physical test, making the screen go back to the three main stats, but with Physical crossed out this time. Then he waves for me to do the rest myself as he goes to the edge of the room and sits in a chair while rubbing his temples.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Does he have a headache or something? I know my capabilities are quite good, but is it that big of a deal?
Probably, Tar says, his amusement clear in his voice. Noble demons are known quite well for having a stronger talent in both magic and physical prowess over humans after all. So it makes sense that a half blood lycan would be stronger than most humans at the same level. But as he said, dont let this get to your head. Humans are crafty, and magic is as some would say without bounds.
I nod my head again as I reach out and touch the button for Mental stat capabilities.
Processing
The measure of the processing power of an individual's mind.
Intuition
The measure of how fast and efficiently an individual can understand new things.
Resistance
The measure of how strong an individuals mental resistance is towards mental attacks.
Offense
The measure of how powerful an individuals mental offense is.
Reaction
The measure of an individuals ability to react to active stimuli.
The tanuki doesnt say anything in response, making me narrow my eyes in suspicion. But after a few seconds, I just press the next button and head back to the platform.
Why do I feel like this next one will be a quiz of some sort?
The rest of the mental tests fly by rather quickly, albeit painfully in some of their cases. Such as the resistance capability test. And by the end of it, Im looking at a row of almost straight Tier Cs, with the exception of Reaction and Willpower, which are both Bs.
I glare at Allen who seems to be jumping for joy for some odd reason.
Why is he happy at my bad results?
Um, those arent actually bad by human standards. Theyre pretty go- Tar begins but I mentally respond with a big, Dont care before he can finish as I continue glaring.
The culprit in question seems to notice my look and coughs lightly once before pressing the okay button and then the Magical button, showing the next capabilities for the last stat. But I continue glaring at him for a few more seconds anyways, just to drive the point home. Then I turn to the screen.
Capacity
The measure of the amount of mana an individual has.
Power
The measure of the purity of an individuals mana.
Control
The measure of how much control an individual has over their mana.
I blink in surprise.
There are only three capabilities for the Magical stat?
Thats surprising.
Well, the only magic you can use are the skills you have. And you dont get much control over those until Class IV or even V, which only a couple of humans have ever reached, Tar explains in response to my surprise.
Oh. Okay.
I select Capacity first before turning around and finding the platform to now has a single orb on it.
