Soon, they entered the evaluation chamber.
A man in his early thirties was seated and handling some paperwork while a youth around Rain's age was behind a large monitor, typing and printing some documents out of a printer.
They were both dressed in crisp black suits, which was the official dress code for Awakened League employees.
The entire computer system setup was complex, giving the evaluation chamber the oppressive atmosphere of a courtroom awaiting a death sentence.
When the man saw the figures enter, he raised his head and stood up, while the receptionist went to speak briefly with him.
The man turned to Rain, At first, his face wore a surprised expression, but then, it changed to a puzzled one.
"Mr Rain? Although he frequents this place well in search of quests, he is just a weak boy with very low mana aptitude and would only take a quest of E rank Gates.
Never taking more than he could chew"
"But why?"
The question hung in his mind for some moments.
Even among E rank Gates, for someone who would only join a party with the largest members to guarantee his own safety, this action sure drew some suspicion.
He crossed his arms, his skeptical look slowly becoming obvious, he was trying to figure out this young man's motive.
Don't tell me...!
A thought suddenly materialized in his mind, one possibility no one in the room except him could think of.
After all, he was a member of the League's major scout team, how could he fail to consider such a possibility?
"Has he reawakened?!"
This question made his heart start thumping wildly, even the receptionist started sensing something weird.
Meanwhile, Rain stood still near the entrance, waiting to be called for the evaluation.
"If so, then I gotta notify League President that an Ascender has reawakened!"
Ascenders weren't deemed real Awakeners even though they still have some abilities that could set them apart from ordinary humans.
Some examples were being able to heal a little faster, and use low rank magical items that are lethal to ordinary humans.
But if they were lucky to reawakened, an Ascender who was deemed a rankless superhuman could jump to a B or A rank, even S rank Awakener in one go!
Thinking of this, his heart beat harder with each second, it was as if he would be witnessing once in a lifetime miracle.
For the past ten years after the apocalypse, had such a thing happened in New Pearl before?
News of Ascenders reawakening was something one could only find in countries like the US or China, even that was rare.
The man's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Rain, for him to come for an evaluation, there must be a good reason.
As a member of the scouting team for the Awakened League, if this young man had reawakened, today was indeed his lucky day.
Without wasting any more time, the official readied the Orb of Awakening, a large silvery sphere fixed on a golden pedestal.
Then he notified the operator after connecting the magical item to one device.
"Young man"
The man motioned for Rain to come closer.
"If you put your hand on the orb, it will send a magic signal to the computer system, then the monitor would display your magic energy level and also your magical affinities"
Rain breathed in and out, calming himself down, he then placed his right palm on the smooth silvery orb.
The man's eyes were fixed on the hand, and as each second passed by, the tension increased in the room.
Is it supposed to be a long process?
Seeing that the man refused to take his gaze from his hand like someone lost in thought, Rain opted to break the silence, for him, the tension was becoming unbearable.
"Uhmm,... Sir, am I done?"
"Oh.., I'm very sorry.
Mr Fur, could you please give us the detailed report of the result?"
The man who was seemingly lost in thought turned to the operator, but there was no word from behind the large monitor.
Did I mistakenly awaken some breathtaking power?
Rain started wondering, since these guys looked as if their breath had indeed been taken away, could the result have left the operator speechless?
The man went to check for himself.
Seeing the stunned expression of the operator, he forced himself to calm down, swallowing a nervous and heavy lump of saliva, he peeped at the monitor screen.
Twenty!
A foreboding expression quickly sneaked its way onto his face.
To his amazement, Rain's magic energy level was only twenty, and he had about 0.000009% healing magic affinity.
"Tsk! Trash will always be trash I guess, I had my hope gotten up for a moment.
Even the weakest Ascenders would still have a hundred"
Did it mean he was about five times weaker than the weakest Ascenders?
The man brushed the question away and patted the operator, he was actually stunned by this result.
Perhaps in all the years or months the youth had started working as an operator, he hadn't encountered such a low result.
After collecting himself, the youth started typing away while the official and receptionist excused Rain and went on to have a brief conversation in one corner.
Meanwhile, a large notification window had appeared in front of Rain.
[You Have An Unread Message]
"What is with them? Aren't they bothered by this thing?"
"Was this the result of my awakening or what?"
He mused, the window was floating but the operator behind the large monitor didn't seem to glance at it, The youth slipped a printed paper to him.
"The evaluation result?"
Rain checked it, but what he saw barely surprised him.
Right now, the main thing that piqued his interest was this big floating window.
From the memories of this body, he had never heard of an Awakener with floating window power.
Rain crunched up the result and went ahead to throw it into a dustbin.
A bunch of teenage boys entered, turning the room into a noisy one.
Rain gave them a scrutinized look, they were one of those spoiled types.
A burly one who seemed to be the group leader turned to him, he had a sneer expression written all over his face.
"Don't tell me this old fart came for evaluation"
The others burst into loud laughter in response to his words.
"Tsk, how is a twenty-three year old an old fart?"
With a rueful expression, Rain walked out of the building and then breathed in the fresh air.
Now he would be able to check what the window said properly.
[You Have An Unread Message]
The notification window started floating in the air once again.
An unread message, how should I go about this?
