The lady led us to a room in the back of the building. We went through a quick security check, which took a bit longer for Keith, Maria, and Dawn. It was better that we didn\'t bring Alec and Sir Behind up here too or that would have taken even longer.

We followed her inside the empty room. White walls spread over the sizable place with two more people standing around an enormous orb of glass.

"More students? Welcome."

"Haha, we\'re getting a great amount of data."

The pair wore a long white lab coat over their clothes while glasses hung low on their noses. They scribbled on the pads in their hands as they beckoned us over, they visage the perfect image of a researcher.

I was looking exactly for people like these.

"It seems it really is a prototype," Dawn muttered.

I nodded and peered at the glass orb. Right then, an almost fleeting memory returned to my mind.

"Class selection."

"What was that?" Dawn asked.

I shook my head.

I remembered a conversation I had with that one annoying asshole all that time back. Though he had never informed me of the game\'s setting, he did tell me about whatever caught his eye.

He had mentioned that this was where one could select a class to continue in the game, from a warrior type to wizard type, all ranges of classes could be chosen from. Then, was this similar?

"Now, I\'ll explain what this bad boy is," the researcher said, slapping the top of the orb. "It\'s a prototype that accepts your energy and interprets it using our groundbreaking spells and data. With it, you can judge what kind of ability you hold."

How interesting.

"This inner part of the orb you see," he said, pointing at the center of the orb that was hooked with wires and magical circles. "The intensity of the color there shows your potential, and the outer glow shows the ability you have already achieved."

"Ooh…" A few gasps of admiration rang out. Vienna and Billy seemed the most impressed since they would be missing the chance to use this new equipment.

"Well, to give you some context," the other researcher continued, propping up her glasses. "Let\'s say you have a red colored glow, that would represent that you\'re good at melee fighting with Ki. Similarly, a blue glow represents wizardry. Green shows your skill with support abilities, orange with scouting, and the list just goes on."

She flipped the pages in her hand, showing that the list does go on.

"Well, anyway. The darker it is the more you have achieved or have the potential to achieve. We need you to be better than a light shade in both of them to be considered for the entrance test. Is that clear?"

"Well, of course, the minimum requirement can be fulfilled," Vienna said. "Isn\'t that right, Eugene?"

Woah? Was she offended? Nobles and their pride, this is why I always think of her as a pain.

"I think it\'s cute," Titania gave her input. Well, for an old fairy that has lived for millennia such things surely would be cute. It was just annoying at my age.

"Why don\'t you go at it first, then?" The researcher said, holding a smile.

"I agree," the girl that had guided us here added.

"Is it an expensive thing?" I asked.

"Expensive? Well, there\'s only three in the world, all in our lab. It\'s made with years of research so it\'s expensive as hell."

"Then, make Lily go first."

"Eh? Me? Again? Aren\'t you pushing me too much, young master?"

"Don\'t say that, if you want to learn at a new place you need to step out of your comfort zone."

Lily reluctantly shook her head and walked ahead. The researchers gave me a smirk and a chuckle as they let Lily step ahead.

"Place your hand anywhere and let it absorb your mana."

"Ah, yes…" Lily nodded and boldly placed her hand on the orb. I could sense her mana flowing out of her fingers and seep into the orb.

A whirring sound rang out as the magical circles all around the orb started spinning.

And then, a soft, small white glow emerged from the inner and outer halves of the orb.

"Oh? A little talent for healing—"

The researcher\'s mouth snapped shut as the glow of the light intensified. All at once, the white light she out of the orb as if the sun itself had come down.

One of the researchers fell on his ass while the other took a step back. Only the lacking light of the outer orb managed to save us from the direct onslaught that the inner half launched. The crazy beams of light spread all over the place and continued glowing.

"W-what the…"

"Amazing…"

Lily awkwardly scratched her cheeks and turned toward us. Everyone in my group seemed to be equally shocked, but I held faith in Lily.

"Did I do fine?"

"You killed it," I said, giving her a thumbs up.

"Woah… amazing. This, this is crazy. You have the talent to even become a bishop of a holy order. Heck, maybe even archbishops don\'t have this much potential."

Oh? So that was only at such a level? I thought Lily had enough talent to be one of a kind, but it seemed I was wrong.

The researchers excitedly scribbled something on their papers, they looked frantic in their work.

The others watched as Lily walked over to us. I patted her head for good measure, she definitely did shut them up.

Now I would handle the rest.

"Would you take on the next one, lord Eugene?" Sophia asked.

"No, it\'s an expensive thing. You go ahead."

"Alright," Sophia nodded and walked over to the orb. She faked a cough and only then did the crazed researcher look at her.

"Ah, little lady, you\'re next?"

"That\'s correct."

"Right, then…" The researchers did something with the magic circle and the glow of the orb reseted. "Please place your hand on the orb."

"Yes!"
