"9 talents, is that an average thing or an above average discovery?"
Jim was completely new to these talents and was unaware if the possession of nine talents was something great or mediocre.
" Average?? Nine talents is WAY ABOVE average. Hitler had eight, his right and left henchmen had seven and six respectively, and me with a mere two. Even two talents in this world is considered to be rare and someone worthy to be praised a genius"
Albert was greatly agitated and joyous at the same time. It was as if the person who had the nine talents were his.
" What are the talents that i have?"
" I cant tell you. The moment you have a knowledge of your potential skills, your body might react in a non natural way which hinders the development of those skills. However, i am pretty sure you are aware of your S-speed ability. Your body had shown symptoms of awakening that talent this morning"
" Im guessing S-speed has something to do with travelling like 20 times more than normal"
" 20 times? Oh no no no, S-speed far exceeds that, it allows you to travel a few times faster than the speed of sound. However, like all your talents, it is dependent on your mental strength. To be able to activate, you need to have a mental strength ten times of normal people"
" If it is few times faster than sound, doesnt that means that i can travel forward in time?"
" Theory wise it is true, but ur body might not be able to handle the immense pressure that is exerting on your body"
" Give me a few moments and i will be done with the test."
After a few minutes, Albert announced the end of the test and proceeded with removing all the wires and stuff from Jim's body.
" Follow me as we will do a necessary mental strength enrolment test"
" Enrolment? I will need to recieve education here?"
" All awakened ones are required to be enrolled in this institute and be taught on the differences of the two world and how to control their powers"
They reached a circular looking platform after a while.
" What now?"
Right when Jim said it, the platform began levitating upwards until it was floating a few metres above ground.
" We will be testing on your mental strength. You will have two attempts and this will decide the classes you will attend based on your abilities."
Right after Albert said it, he turned and walked down a stairs made up of levitating stones.
" Starting in 3, 2, 1. Say the words 'enough' and the test will stop. Either that or you might faint in which we will stop the test."
Jim wanted to ask another question before a circular array shone above him and his body felt heavy.
