[Ace POV],
[The first stage of planet spe evolution has ended].
[Evaluation of Ace Blaze's performance.....],
[Evaluation completed],
[Status updated].
[Assigning rewards in accordance with evaluations],

'Huh?'
'Am I being evaluated right now?' '
When I saw the notification on the panel in front of me, I was stunned and perplexed.
Unsurprisingly, I was perplexed because what I expected to happen after the end of stage 1 was the start of another stage.
Since the numeric value 1 is present, it is obvious that there will be additional stages.
In all my expectations, I did not expect to be evaluated.
I remained focused on the panel in front of me as a new notification appeared.
[General Evaluation Status],
[Power ranking among Planet Spe species: one of the strongest],
[Power ranking among those on the same level on planet spe: Strong],
[Performance rating in stage 1 among the species on planet Spe: 'A+++'],
.....
[Personal Evaluation Status],
[First monster slain was levels higher than you]
[Combat prowess is at the master level],
[Among the species on planet Spe, combat prowess is very strong],
[Combat prowess among the same level on planet spe: Very very strong],
[Performance in stage 1: 'A+'],
...
[Total performance rating in stage one: 'S'],
....
I put my hand on my chin to think as I saw the unfamiliar and somewhat perplexing words on the panel in front of me.
Let's start with the general evaluation status.
What was written throughout the general evaluation status section was easily interpretable as my current performance among the living beings on the planet, and what was written first was my power ranking among the species on the planet.
It is written here that I am one of the strongest people on the planet right now.
I'm guessing that power ranking is related to levels.
What others may miss if their general evaluation status is the same as mine is that it was written that I was one of the strongest, not the strongest.
And species was also written here, implying that the beings being evaluated on the planet at the moment may not be solely humans.
It could be humans, animals, or other creatures.
And the person that might get the strongest, I wonder how strong he or she is.
Is it a human, an animal or a monster?
And the part about me being one of the strongest is understandable because the actions I took from the start, as well as the situation I was in, may have been different than the majority of people on the planet.
When this strange phenomenon occurred, most people's natural reaction was to seek out a safe place to hide and wait to see what would happen or if the government would help them.
I did not do so because the situation I was in at the time did not allow it.
So, if my actions from the start are taken into account, it's quite natural that I'll be labeled as one of the strongest, as my level is unquestionably higher than the majority of those who went into hiding.
And my power rank among those on the same level was labeled as strong.
If I follow my train of thought, it is normal.
Being on level 14 means you're strong, but that doesn't mean you're a strong person if you can't use your power effectively.
It's like putting a gun in the hands of a child and a gun expert to compete.
The logic also applies here.
Mom and sis, and those around me always referred to me as a martial genius.
When they say this, I'm not quite sure what they mean.
All I know is that I am very good at fighting.
I am well-versed in a variety of martial arts and weapons, and I have defeated many world-renowned martial artists in private sessions.
I feel like I can bring a lot of fighting prowess with my current level, but it's difficult because I don't know where to begin.
I'm not sure if there are others out there that can do it, but it's difficult to suddenly control the amount of power your body can output when you're more than 10 times stronger than the average human in a day.
At the very least, I know I am powerful in comparison to the living beings on Spe right now.
The first two notifications in the general evaluation status were understandable, but the last one threw me off no matter how hard I tried to understand it.
Performance rating?
What performance is the primordial chronicle talking about?
And who was rating my performance?
Was it the primordial chronicle itself?
And I'm curious what the 'A+++' written there means.
I moved on to personal evaluation status because I couldn't understand it.
I'm guessing this is only about me right now and not about the entire planet.
The information written under the personal evaluation status was somewhat understandable.
I just didn't get what the primordial chronicle meant when it said my combat prowess was master-level.
Master level, what's that?
Is it something like a grade that divides something?
And the combat prowess mentioned here, is it the one i showcased in stage 1 or the one i can do but was not allowed to showcase?
I believe its the later since i believe i could have done more if i had more time.
But overall, i believe that with both evaluation status considered and the total performance rating, i should be considered strong in the world now.
Its unknown if that would last for long though.
Taking a quick glance at the others in the room with me, i noticed that they all had a serious look on their face as they stared at the empty air.
Well, only Anna and chris had serious expression since mia was looking like a lost child evident by her current expression.
Them staring at the empty air should be them looking at their status.
So i ignored them and looked at the last notification on the blue panel in front of me.
[Receive rewards?],
Rewards?
If it were not for the number of times i was close to the embrace of mother death and father creator, i would have thought that perhaps this was a prank.
But that would have been an expensive prank, a real one.
But apprently we're actually receiving rewards in a death game.
Not that am refusing since that's dumb.
I wonder what the rewards are though.
Or rather, am curious to what is truly going on in this world.
Why are we being forced into this evolution race or something?
Though i had these thoughts in my head, i still gave the primordial chronicle my will to receive the rewards.
[Receive rewards?],
'Yes'
