The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 41 - Affinities 2

"Alright, now that I’ve finished explaining the details, we will start measuring your energy capacity and affinity," Bargan said as he clapped. "We will start with the first row. Do you understand?"

""Yes, teacher!!"" The students said at the same time. Their voice echoed in the whole classroom. They couldn’t hide their excitement.

"I’m first." A petite girl stood up. She has shoulder-length blue hair. Her skin was white as snow and her blue eyes were like a crystal of ice. She wears a white big ribbon on the back of her head. She has a blue thick tail sticking out in her back. Her height was low as she was even shorter than Souta who was a goblin. For your information, Souta was the shortest among the boys in the class. She was the class representative of class 1-B, Lumilia Von Asvares.

"Good, come here!" Bargan nodded at her.

Lumilia walked forward and stopped in front of the transparent orb.

"Just place your hand on top of it and gather your mana." Bargan’s voice sounded beside her.

She nodded before she raised her right hand and placed it on top of the transparent orb. She closes her eyes and circulates her mana.

The transparent orb emitted a white light as soon as it made contact with her mana.

"It’s okay to remove your hand now," Bargan said to her.

Lumilia slowly opened her eyes and removed her right hand. She saw some changes in the transparent orb. There were two things inside the transparent orb and both of them were color blue. One was like a whirlpool of water while the other one was a solid crystal. And on top of these two were the glittering stars.

"These two things were your affinities," Bargan said while pointing at the two things inside the transparent orb. "You have two affinities and they are Water and Ice. And the small stars in the orb are your magical capacity."

"So teacher what is my magical capacity?" Lumilia asked Bargan. She wouldn’t know what’s her magical capacity just by looking at these stars.

"A big star like this one is equal to fifty mana and this medium-size star is equal to ten mana while the smallest one is equal to one mana," Bargan explained to Lumilia. "So counting these stars, we would know how large your magical capacity."

There were six large stars, two medium-size stars, and seven small stars. It means that her magical capacity was three hundred twenty-seven. She could store three hundred twenty-seven mana inside her body.

As expected of a demi. They really have a large magical capacity compared to a goblin like Souta. Well, they all have different starting points. Back in the game, a human character was stronger in the first version. It was because the stats added to every level.

A human and demi’s added stats were fifteen per level while the ordinary goblin was one per level. The difference was so large that it was impossible to catch up to them without evolution. But not all goblin was weak. Out of all monsters in the whole world, the goblin was a monster that has a lot of subspecies. And most of them were very powerful and brutal.

Back in the Great War, there was even a record that three Goblin Executioner, a higher species of a goblin, killed an a.d.u.l.t dragon and ate its flesh. It was recorded in the library of the Three Great Country. Humans and demis feared this higher species, no, they all feared all the monsters that’s why they hunted and killed them when the monsters were still in their first evolution. Even a simple slime was fearful enough as long as it reached the level of higher species. Consuming a whole country was a feat of a really powerful slime in ancient times.

...

One by one the students measured their magical capacity and got to know their elemental affinities. The students’ magical capacity was between two hundred and three hundred. And most of their affinity was one and some of them were two like the class rep.

Should Souta say as expected of humans and demis? Their starting point was clearly higher than the monster. No, there were some exceptions about that, like dragons. Dragons were born powerful compare to the other monsters but their evolution was complicated and they would evolve once every twenty years. Other talented monsters would keep evolving in those twenty years and gained the power to slay them. Not every monster evolve as some of them stay in their lowest form and died of old age or in battle. Only a talented monster kept evolving and become a higher species of their kind.

At this time, Alice stood up as it was her time to measure her magical capacity and affinity. She walked forward and stopped in front of the transparent orb. Without saying anything, she raised her right hand and placed it on top of the transparent orb. She poured her mana on her right hand and the transparent orb emitted a white light.

After a few moments, Alice removed her hand and looked at the transparent orb.

Souta looked curiously at her result. He was interested in her as he felt that she was different from the other students in his class.

The result was Alice have darkness and ice affinities, and her magical capacity was four hundred forty-eight. It was the highest recorded in their class. Her reserves were higher than all the students here in the class.

"Oh!!"

"What?!"

Various exclamation sounded in the whole class. They were surprised that a new student has a higher magical capacity than the rest of them. Even Bargan was surprised when he saw this. He knew that she was talented but not to this extent.

Alice was now the top in the class in terms of mana capacity. The second was Lumilia, the class representative.

"Darkness, huh?" Souta muttered. In the entrance examination, Alice only used ice attribute spells. She didn’t even use any other type of spells.

Alice turned around and went back to her seat beside Souta. All the students looked at her and Alice ignored them by closing her eyes.

"That’s a good result you have there," Souta said and he stood up. "I guess it’s my turn."

Actually, he didn’t need to measure his magical capacity as he could see it in his system. Even with the added effect of the Vajra Sword he only has three hundred eighty mana. If not for the Vajra sword his mana would be two hundred eighty. He would only do this because of the affinity.

"Good luck, Souta!" Bryan said to him.

Souta walked leisurely and placed his hand on top of the transparent orb. He controlled his mana using the skill [Mana Manipulation] and the orb emitted the same light as before.

Alice who was sitting in the back slightly opened her eyes. She looked at the orb in front of Souta before she once again closed her eyes.

"That’s good you’re the second highest here!" Bryan’s voice sounded.

Just like in the system his magical capacity was the same in the transparent orb. Souta was quite surprised that this transparent orb could accurately measure a person’s magical capacity. It could even compare to the system in terms of measurement.

With this, Souta was the highest before Alice and the third was Lumilia as her magical capacity was only three hundred twenty-seven. Everyone looked at him just like what they did to Alice.

Souta saw that his elemental affinity was darkness. Yes, only darkness. The darkness almost turned the whole orb into black.

’Darkness? Is it because of my specialty?’ Souta wondered. He already guessed it before but to think that his specialty was really his affinity.

"Well, that’s a good result." Souta shrugged and he turned around.

"Not much..." Alice said.

Souta looked at her and couldn’t believe that she talked to him. There must be something wrong in her head. He shrugged his shoulder and sat down. He said, "That’s already passable for me."

Souta then turned to his right side and patted Bryan’s shoulder. He said, "If it’s lower than my result then I wouldn’t bring you in my quest this weekend."

"Ah? What are you saying? This is not related to my combat prowess. It’s just a measurement." Bryan complained.

"Hahaha! I know!" Souta laughed. He noticed that everyone was looking at him and then at Bryan.

They were wondering if Bryan was like him and Alice that have a high magical capacity. Thinking about this Souta couldn’t help but smirk. He was wondering what would be their reaction if they knew that he only have a two mana capacity a few weeks ago.

Bryan stood up and walked straight towards the transparent orb. He couldn’t hide the excitement in his face.

The orb emitted a light as soon as he placed his hand on top of it. He then looked at Bargan asking if it was okay to remove his hand or not.

"You can remove your hand," Bargan said.

"Okay," Bryan said and he placed down his hand in his side. contemporary romance

Everyone looked at his result. Both Souta and Alice have a high result so they couldn’t help but think that Bryan was like them.

And the result didn’t disappoint everyone. His mana capacity was even higher than Souta.

Four hundred eleven was his mana capacity. It wasn’t that shocking anymore as Alice was still higher than him but still... over four hundred mana capacity was surprising.

And the result of his affinity even shocked Souta who was looking in the back. Everyone opened their eyes widely when they saw Bryan’s elemental affinities.

Alice who was in the back also opened her eyes widely. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

"Four... Four affinities...!" Souta didn’t think that Bryan had this kind of ability.
