Klein was standing completely naked on a platform surounded by people
Ahhhhhhhh!
Hahahah!
Girls started screaming while boys started to laugh
It was normal to come back from Spirit realm with torn clothes
But usually only corpses came back completely naked
Klein clothes were completely destroyed by hounds in his trial
So now he was standing trying to hide his secret parts
"Put on these"
Bald instructor threw him cheap shirt and trousers
They were too small for Klein
He looked quite comical
'All I get are those old rags.Huh... It's still probably more expensive than my old clothes though'
'I should stop complaining . I passed my trial when I wasn't even sure if I could survive it but I did and Spirit seemed pleased with my attempt'
Klein dressed and jumped off the platform
The next person was getting ready to enter their but Klein wasn't looking forward to seeing how many of those teens will survive their trials or how many of them will get strong powers
He was more interested in his own power
'Huh... Let's see'
Runes apperead before him
[Klein Goldenbird]
[True Soul:"Stronger than ever"]
[True Soul description:"You can't get weaker"]
True Soul's description rarely ever helped understand what kind of power one have.
But power shouldn't be described in just one sentence
'I guess I'll just have to try it out'
Klein was about to the leave when the receptionist told him:
"Come back in a week. We'll measure your power rank and choose what category we'll put you in"
There was total of 5 categories:
Melee
Range
Melee-range
Spies
And Enchanters
The categories rarely ever meant anything because there is as much people as there is stars on the sky.
It isn't simply possible to categorie every one of them but it helped goverment sort people even if only a little.
Way more important were ranks
There's total of seven ranks:
Commoner Soul
Worrior Soul
Elite Soul
Royal Soul
Sky Soul
Mythic Soul
Divine Soul
Eighty percent of population have Commoner soul while there were just a few Divine souls in history.
The instructors measure potential of teens and assign these ranks to them.
Those ranks are important for about a three years after the Naming ceremony after that even people who were assigned to the commoner rank could prove that their power was measured wrongly but this rarely ever happens.
Humans with higher ranks are likely to reach higher Titles than those with lower ones.
The titles desribe the strenght of the awakened.
There is a total of ten titles
and those are:
Mortal
Awakened
Forged
Enlighted
Ascendent
Trascendent
Monarch
Celestial
Divine
And Eternals
Every awakened firstly gets the title of mortal which can be raised if the awakened enters the higher level of understanding and using his power.
Of course the the title won't be raised if the awakened is too weak for that.
The owner of acommoner Soul is expected to just have the mortal title while divine soul owners should be capable of reaching the Celestial Divine or maybe even the Eternal title
'Uncle Phil is probably worried about me I should go and tell him that I passed my Trial'
*
"That kid... he's probably getting devoured by some abominations."
"NO!!!"
"Phil you need to be positive. "
"Klein is strong and stubborn child he won't just give up and become a fodder for some monsters."
"Ahhh!!!"
" Who am I fooling he didn't have any proper training. How he's going to kill those things?'"
"Phil get a hold of yourself you even made him a gift for passing he's trial. "
"But what am I going to do if he doesn't come back? "
"NO!!!"
"He'll be back, He'll be back, He'll be back!!!!""
In that moment the doors opened
"I'm back!!!"
Phil still lost in thoughts replied:
"Right... You'll be back
"
Klein gave Phil a confused look
In that moment Phil's eyes widened
"KLEIN YOU ARE ALIVE!!!!!"
Klein let out a laugh
"Of course I am. Did you hope otherwise?"
Blush apperead on Phil's face
"No... I mean yes... I just thought that you wouldn't be able to pass... Aghh... Y-you stupid b-brat"
Klein thought in his head
'When I wished for tsundere I meant cute young girl not fat old man'
"I'm happy to see you too"
"Yeah... Umm... Anyway I have a present for you"
Saying that Phil took carton box from the bed
"Congratulation for passing the Naming ceremony"
Klein opened the box.
Inside was gold shining half mask that resembled the demon. It looked like it belonged to madman.
"Why isn't the mask covering mouth?"
Phil laughed out loud
"You don't want to show that beatiful smile of yours to other people?"
Despite being an outcast because of this smile Klein didn't hate it.
He even quite liked this part of himself. He treats it like a reminder of his mother.
Being an outcast don't bother him. He thinks that talking to other people isn't the most pleasant thing in the world.
"HAHAHA"
"You're right. I'll make sure to show all my teeth while doing that"
"That's the spirit"
Klein looked the mask and then sayed
"What kind of enchantments did you
put on this"
Phil was an enchanter by category
Phil's True Soul was named "Gold lover".
It gave him the abilty to put different kind of enchant on things made of gold.
In this era gold isn't as valuable as it used to be.
It's also impractical to have a golden sword.
So both those factors made Phil's abilty rather useless
"The first enchantment causes the mask to stay on owner's face no matter what. "
"Of course it will fall if the user wish so."
The second one hides the usere eyes behind a layer of darkness"
"It also lets you express your emotion without speaking. "
"It'll help you show others how you really feel behind that smile. "
"When you feel happiness your eyes will glow with the color yellow. If you feel anger the color will be red and of course sadness will be blue."
Klein watched the mask for a few more moments and finally said
"Thanks uncle I'll treasure it"
Phil nodded
"You sure will"
After a moment of silence Klein said
"Uncle I have one more question."
"What is it Klein?"
"We barely have anything to eat so how are you still fat?"
"Wait...What?"
Klein let out a chuckle
"YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!"
