While humans are born in this world, they must carry out an aptitude test as soon as possible, at the age of five at the latest. An aptitude test is a type of test that measures or assesses the body-soul constitution and the quantity and quality of magical energy released by one's body. This aptitude assessment uses a special tool.
This specialized tool is the result of extensive research. Researchers created this special tool hundreds of years ago, and it continues to be developed today.
Actually, some experts state that until the age of seven years old, the body-soul constitution and quantity-quality of magic energy have not changed, but the government limits the measurement to no later than five years old so that nothing undesirable happens. After passing the age of seven, humans can improve their body-soul constitution and the quantity and quality of their magic energy, and can even evolve their super abilities to have a stronger additional effect.
If a baby has not taken the aptitude test after the birth process, then the baby will temporarily have an aptitude [E] written in his identity data. If they don't take the aptitude test until the age of five, then they'll have aptitude [E] permanently written in their identity data. The owner of the [E] aptitude will find it difficult to get into high schools, universities, or academies, and it is difficult to get a job if there is no certain achievement.
They measure aptitude in one of the government-owned special divisions. The division is called the "Super Ability Division." The division's office is called the SAD Center.
People should also update their data once their super abilities have awakened, and do that data update too in this SAD Center. If they do not register their type of super abilities until they are fourteen years old or after graduating from middle school, they will not get access to certain places, such as public libraries, high schools, banks, various facilities, and public transportation, and it will be very hard or maybe cannot get an official job after they graduate from middle school. So, someone needs to register their super abilities and aptitudes as soon as possible.
Strength, power levels, and super ability mastery are the most valuable things in this world, besides aptitude. For some people, aptitude will only be useful at the beginning of a career as a student, but to enter the world of work, besides aptitude, one must have a certain level of strength and ability.
There are four main levels of a person's power level; these four levels are also called "phases": the First Phase, Second Phase, Third Phase, and Fourth Phase. The power level from the first phase to the fourth phase consists of ten stages.
Generally, identify each power level based on the body-soul aura and quantity-quality of magic energy that each individual possesses. By sensing the pressure that another person emits, one can determine their level of strength. Naturally, this calls for a certain degree of perception.
Some people aren't able to tell how strong someone else is. In general, someone who is a lot stronger will be able to tell how much weaker someone else is, and someone who is considerably weaker cannot tell how much stronger someone else is. Some people have super abilities that enable them to conceal their degree of strength, while other people have super abilities that enable them to reveal other people's power level.
Everyone uses a unique method to increase both the quantity and quality of their magical energy, but they all share one common practice: they all practice breathing techniques or meditation while connecting their consciousness with their [Abs (Subconscious Mind)].
They can only improve the quality of magic energy from within each person's Abs-space by practicing the breathing technique or another particular technique. To increase the quantity of magic energy, usually by absorbing it from the surrounding environment or other special objects. Aptitude is significant since, generally speaking, the better one's aptitude, the higher the level of power that person will also reach.
Apart from that, one must also train their super abilities. The more skilled they are in controlling their super abilities, the faster those super abilities will become strong and are likely to evolve or mutate. If a person merely increases their magical energy by meditation, cultivation, or other methods, their degree of power won't rise because the comprehension of their super ability constrains it. The level of mastery of super abilities will affect one's power level.
A person's potential is determined by measuring their body-soul constitution and the quantity and quality of their magical energy while they are younger than five years old, a process known as an aptitude test. The higher a person's aptitude before five years old, the higher the probability that the level of power that person will reach.
Generally, someone with [E] aptitude only has the highest potential of reaching the peak of the first phase. Someone with an [A] aptitude has the potential to advance to the fourth phase. There are various ways to increase their strength, which is only limited by their aptitude. One of the common ways is having to be able to make the body-soul constitution and quality of magic energy evolve or to be able to make the super ability evolve, and making the super ability evolve is much more difficult than making the magic energy quality evolve.
But those things are not impossible. Throughout history, there have been many people who could fight or break the shackles of their talent or potential. Everything is dependent on willpower, effort, resources, and luck.
Aptitude also slightly affects one's strength. Two people with the same stage level can be very different in strength if the body constitution and quality level of magic energy are different. But it all also depends on the person's personality. Many people with exceptional aptitude fall short against opponents with poor aptitude. The effectiveness of using super abilities, fighting experience, and a variety of other factors all play a role.
Jono's super ability has yet to be registered, not because he doesn't want other people to know about it, but because he doesn't know his super ability. They gave Jono ten days before the start of school activities, which is approximately 35 days from today, to register his super abilities. They will reject him from the school he applied to if he does not register his super abilities. Those who do not register their super abilities are not permitted to attend high schools in general. They can only enroll in vocational open schools with online learning.
Jono doesn't want to go there because he wants to continue his education by attending a university or academy after graduating from high school, whereas vocational open schools are designed to prepare students to not attend a university or academy. Furthermore, attending a high school can help obtain a lot of resources to accelerate the increase in strength.
In general, the reason a person does not register his super ability is that his super ability has not awakened or his super ability has awakened, but he is unaware of the effect of his super ability, as experienced by Jono.
The latter a person discovers his super abilities, the more difficult it is for him to develop them and become stronger. However, there is a rule that allows someone who does not register his super ability to attend high school. One of the requirements is to have [B] aptitude. Another requirement is to register the super ability as soon as possible before graduation, otherwise, you will not get a diploma or proof of graduation.
"That's sucks," Jono grumbled.
After remembering this matter, Jono rushed to his gym and began attempting to activate his super ability and control his magical energy. Magic energy is the foundation of all kinds of super abilities. Jono's awakened super ability allows him to control magical energy to some extent, even though he doesn't know the effect of his super ability.
Jono ran out of magic energy after about an hour of trying to activate his super ability to see what effect it would have, but when he opened his eyes, there was no effect at all.
"What a b*st*rd ability I have!" exclaimed Jono.
"After more than a year, I can only feel a little knowledge of super abilities from my Abs, whereas other people, at least in one month, have fully mastered the knowledge of their super abilities and can freely explore and cultivate within their Abs," Jono explained.
The subconscious mind, or so-called Abs, is a place that current science cannot fully explain. Abs is estimated to be in the head of every human being, where every human being learns about their super abilities and how to control them naturally. Each human being has their own Abs, which enables them to learn more about their super abilities, improve them, and even evolve them.
Abs are similar to memories or DNA of one's super abilities, which contain knowledge of one's super abilities, but these memories will only open up gradually as a person grows stronger, similar to an insight or enlightenment. He was able to enter his Abs space with his meditation or breathing techniques, but he could only learn a little about his super abilities. He knew that his super abilities were related to the characteristics of "making something" or "controlling something," but he didn't know anything else.
A person's super abilities after awakening will be similar to the super abilities possessed by their parents or families. In general, every family possesses the same type of super ability. But Jono was never taught by his family because he had been living alone since he was eleven years old, and before that, he had no idea about his family's super abilities.
"Why did my grandfather abandon me before telling me about our family's super abilities? You old grandpa, at least let me know before you go missing!" Jono was cursing.
