After Ren went away, Lena said to Elias
"He's suspicious"
"I know what you mean, but he was already investigated, the city he lived in had multiple 'accidents' , it wouldn't be a surprise if he came in contact with magic or some supernatural phenomenon"
"Even your friends aren't spared from your clan investigation" Lena teased Elias
Elias shrugged and said " The elders are overprotective"
...
Ren was oblivious of the conversation between Elias and Lena, he was currently in his room storing back the mana he placed in his room and erasing the formation he placed
Thinking how he had to stabilize the mana so that it won't harm him and how long it took, and that right after he achieved his target, mana came back, made his heart ache
At the same time, he was thinking of what Elias said, Ren prefers to not be bound to a organisation or a obligation, but at the same time, the possible benefits are worth considering, it won't be a surprise if the clans have some legacy from the era Ren lived in his past life, Ren could use it ro rapidly increase his strength, but of course, they won't hand it to a outsider easily,
If he joined a clan, he could use magic openly and he could use the excuse that he learnt it from the clan, and it also more likely that Ren would get resources, he really wants to test if there was any change in his elemental affinity
'I'll just go along the flow' Ren thought to himself
After deciding what to do, Ren sat in his bed and started meditating, he released his mana each time he breathes, then he retrieve it while circling the mana inside his physique and soul
This method can be used to increase one mana maximum capacity and spiritual energy, if this method is used inside a pure mana source, it would increase the mana purity too, Ren thought of using his ring, but he dismissed this idea, although the mana inside the ring is the mana he had from his past life, it's rampant and destructive, it would do him more harm than good, also, Ren mana purity is already high
few hours later, Ren received a message, he stopped meditating and picked his mobile
Ren smiled bitterly and thought ' Elias did say that they will make a move soon, but this is too soon'
The message was that the classes after 3 days will be canceled, and a special lesson will be held, any one missing will be severely punished
Ren checked the time , he noticed that it already night, so he decided to go to sleep
...
The next day
Ren woke up , he used the spell hand of the phantom to bring a green apple
He ate the apple while changing his clothes, he picked up his backpack and went out his room
To his surprise , Elias was standing behind the door
Ren asked
"What's it?"
"There's something important i have to tell you" Elias replied
"Is it important enough for you to risk staying a additional 6 hours in front of the door?" Ren said jokingly
"I already brought camping equipment " Elias let out a joke
"Well, tell me in our way to class"
"Alright"
After that both started walking
"So? what's the important notice?" Ren asked Elias
"You received the message from the school?"
Ren nodded and said
"Uh-huh, I guess it the clans making a move? i didn't expect it to be so soon"
Elias said while checking Ren reaction
"It was the result of the agreement between clans and the government of this country, in that day, there will be a test conducted, each student will have his affinity tested"
Ren put a puzzled expression and asked " What do you mean by affinity?"
Elias lifted his head with pride and said
"By affinity it something similar to talent, by doing so, one can know if it better to be a warior or a mage, and it also helps to see what attribute one have affinity with"
"I understand the test now, but why waste time doing it?"
" After each student talent is assessed, he will either go under a clan or the government, it basically splitting talented students "
"What about those that refuses to enter a clan?"
"The government will 'deal' with them" Elias answered will emphasizing the 'deal part
Elias continued
"Also, no matter what's your talent, you'll join my clan"
"Didn't you say that i have a huge talent in magic?"
"that's also part of the reason, even though it a bit forced, you don't have a problem right?"
Ren shoom his head and said
"At least i won't be on a place where i don't know any one"
Although that's what Ren said, he have a minuscule urge of casting pulsar ...
"My talent was checked last night , tru to guess my highest affinity! oh right, the known attributes are : water, wind, fire, earth, lightning, Light and darkness"
' Those aren't the known attributes, those are the major ones.." Ren thought to himself
Ren was acquainted with Elias ancestor who was a hero in his past life, he knew that his strongest element was light, but to not make it suspicious, Ren thought for a while before saying
"Light"
"How did you know ?!" Elias shouted
At the same time, Ren could feel that someone was targeting him, although the one targeting him skilfully hid his killing intent, he still didn't do it good enough for Ren not to notice it
"Your hair color" Ren said his excuse
"You read too much of fantasy novels" Elias mumbled
At the same time, the killing intent directed at him started to disappear
"I wonder how the government will announce th existence of superpowers, they won't simply say ' hello, magic exists, now we are going to test your affinity"
"That's not my problem" Elias shrugged and said
the days passed peacefully, and the day of the test arrived, of course, suddenly announcing that superpowers exist isn't a proper approach, the government secretly released some videos where people used magic or where a man split a car with one slash, those types of videos where the most seen, the main topic everywhere was 'Do superpowers exists?', of course, everyone only took it as joke
