"Zack, come here and get some rest 10 minutes later you have to be ready for further testing".Dr. Mearov said to me.
He went back to his cabin to bring something.
"Zack, How are you feeling? ".Uncle James asked.
Hearing that I gave him a slight smile and said "I'm okay, Uncle James".
It's a painful and energetic experience, I am still feeling something crawling under my skin it's a weird sensation. I said to myself. The old man did quite a number on me with that liquid.
"Anyway, Uncle what is my affinity? Did you guys find out?".
"Lad, I know how are you feeling right now, Do you know how many credit points costs for that bottle. In today's era, every trade is done with credits other than high-rank value treasures".
"People try to save as much credit as possible. So don't show any dissatisfaction in front of Elder".Uncle James said to me.
"Okay, Uncle James, I understand". I replied.
Listening to him new seriousness dawn on me.
I don't know why, my intuition tells me whatever comes next is important, I need to pass that hurdle as well, Let's see What affinity is waiting for me.
As Zack raised his eyebrow then shook his head slightly and adjusted his fingerless gloves tightly, there is a glint of spark in his green eyes, let's face it whatever comes in my way. He calms down his heart. why is that old man taking too much time? Zack wondered himself as both of them patiently waiting for Dr. Mearov.
''Creak'' as the door opened by Dr. Mearov
"Sorry, I'm late, I have a small collection of affinity stones in my cabin. first, we try with elemental affinity stones for testing, Let's see Zack kid will get resonated with one of these affinity stones".
Dr. Mearov carried five stones with different colors and he placed them on the nearby table started explaining to them about these stones represent their respective elements.
They are
Redstone - Fire Element.
Bluestone- Water Element.
Yellowstone- Earth Element.
Greenstone- Wind Element.
Silverstone- Metal Element.
"Come on Zack, place your hand on these affinity stones. you have to test affinity stones one by one until you get resonated, patiently wait for the bright light you will know instantly, don't jump across other stones quickly".
" Sometimes people get a late response. Try to concentrate and absorb the energy inside the stone, If you have fire elements you can easily absorb energy inside the red stone. if you do not get any reaction move on to the next one". Dr. Mearov said to me.
Uncle James gestures him to go forward, His eyes were brimming with expectation.
Hope this lad gets fire elemental affinity, the fire elemental rankers were highly regarded because of their attack power, they get placed in every elite squad out there! Most of them are squad leaders they can easily defeat any monsters without lifting their weapon.
Uncle James said to himself.
Zack came across the stone, he removed his fingerless gloves on both hands and placed them on the back pocket of cargo pants stylishly and then he placed his hand on the red stone. Dr. Mearov and Uncle James watch this scene attentively.
Wow, fire element stone, let's see both of us are fated or not, Zack begins to concentrate as he used his perception ability to see any changes occur in his body while trying to absorb them.
Hmm..damn it's not even buzzing, like a dead stone, if not for Uncle James's trust in the old man, I would think that the old man is trying to get some fake stone to repay the favor but it's still there is no reaction in my veins and the stone! it looks like I'm not fated with the fire element. Gone are the chances of roasting chicken, Zack laughed internally.
Let's try the second stone of water element, Zack move toward the bluestone and placed his hands on it! He repeated the same process with the bluestone but still no reaction. Soon he came across all the stones but ended with no result!
Damn it, What is going on I endured the hellish pain in the chamber, I witnessed that violet thing penetrate every part of my organs, there is a sharp glint in his eyes, he smirked lightly he thought, wait a second don't tell me that violet reaction of that liquid represents violet stone or certain element.
if my hypothesis is correct, I believe my element is different! How am I going to explain? I Cannot tell them about my perception ability, I will try to lead the conversation regarding the other elements!
Hope I will get some answers from this elder.
Meanwhile Uncle James thought
What happened? We clearly saw the data and simulation, it is okay if he doesn't get fire element but still, there is no reaction from other stones, he became serious and touched his forehead lightly and noticed Dr. Mearov's reaction.
Dr. Mearov looked at the stones on the table with no resonation. He had a bad premonition in his heart he thought that Zack surely has special attributes, it is a blessing for Zack, for me, it's a huge price to pay, this kid I thought he would end up with one of the five elements. By looking at their faces they need answers from me.
