"Ms. Amy?" Ignis calls from the dining room, "What are these numbers next to the level experience?"
"Yes that's correct, we'll take you to get registered with the association now that we've cleaned up the dishes." Amy smiles, walking out while drying her hands with a towel.
"Can I come, Can I come?" Minnie prances out clinging to Ignis's arm as she stares up at him.
"How can I say no to those puppy dog eyes?" Ignis laughs, reaching out he pats her on the head.
Minnie giggles running towards the door, "Last one there's a rotten egg!"
"Why you little...!" Ignis laughs chasing after her.
"Wait you two," Amy says extending her hand as they already ran out the door. she shakes her head with a slight smile, "This'll be a handful." she jogs after them catching up shortly, she picks minnie up by the collar. "A young lady like you shouldn't be running around here," Amy scolds with an amused smile.
Ignis having been looking back at his sister, collides with someone, He falls on his rear, "Ouch," He mutters standing and rubbing his tailbone, a shadow covering his vision causes Ignis to look up.
"What's a kid like you doing, running around Leviathan?" the man runs a slow hand through his black hair, tipped a frosty blue. His eyes a deep purple color. He glares down his perfectly straight nose at Ignis.
Ignis scowls up at the man, "I'm here to register, what's it to you?"
The man laughs' lightly, "If you're registering with our, guild you should watch how you talk to people kiddo." He ruffles Ignis's hair lightly, pulling away quickly he looks at his hand. "You must have a fire attribute, no wonder your so expressive. My name is Keith, I'm an A rank and my main attributes' are Shadow and Ice. Where's your caregiver?"
Ignis scoff's, "Miss Amy should be coming soon. I was racing my-"
"Ignis, what are you doing!" Miss Amy calls out from behind him running out with Minnie in tow. She bows to Keith, "I'm very sorry Sir! I hope he didn't cause you any trouble."
Keith waves a hand nonchalantly, "He's a real firecracker, that one. Don't fret though I know how kids can be." Keith nods at Ignis, "Amy is one of our best caregiver's, make sure you treat her well." he vanishes in a mist of black, disappearing.
Amy turns to glare at Ignis, hand on her hips. "What did you do?"
"It's fine, I was looking behind me for Minnie and bumped into him." Ignis looks down kicking a rock, "Sorry if I worried you."
Amy sigh's, "As long as you understand. Putting that aside, we're here." She points to double doors, lined with small blue serpents.
Amy guides us inside, the receptionist calling out. "Welcome to Leviathan! Are these our new candidate's?"
"Yes May, Thank you. I'll be taking them up to the third floor. It's just the boy that's awakened, the sister is accompanying him." Amy explains as she accepts a card from the receptionist.
"Well congratulations on awakening!" May beams from behind the counter. "We've got a cute one this time around," She giggles.
"You can't have my brother!" Minnie says loudly, stepping in front of Ignis. This elicits laughter from everyone in the room.
Ignis clears' his throat, drawing Minnie's attention, "It was a compliment, Minnie. You don't need tp be rude to the pretty girl."
Minnie gasps, "Big brother..." she rounds on May, glowering at her.
May giggle's brushing her hair behind her ear, she winks at Minnie, "Guess it's too late," she leans over the counter whispering, "Your big brothers, going, to, be, all, mine."
Amy shakes her head at our antic's, "Come on you two, we're holding up the line." She grabs Minnies hands and pushes Ignis from the back. "Away we go."
Arriving on the 3rd floor, we walk out. A small ball in the center of the room with a man dressed in a lab coat stand there smiling. "Welcome to the testing area, here's where we'll verify you're statuses and get you a hunter's license."
"It'll just be Ignis," Amy says leading them to the man. "Minnie, hasn't had an awakening yet."
"I understand, I'd still like to verify just in case as descendants of Awakened individuals are prone to awakening as well.
Minnie hides behind Amy shaking her head, "I don't wanna."
Ignis steps forwards, "Well, that's her view on it. Just test me for now. My status window says I'm an Evolutionary Awakened in case you need to know that."
"That's great to know, My name is Kevin. I'm the lead Examiner for new hunters coming to Leviathan." He moves to stand next to the crystal ball. "This is a dungeon artifact, It does an appraisal of sorts and produces a status card with your basic information. Name,Level, Rank and Evolution Type." He produces a card from his lab coat, to show Ignis.
"That's cool, do I just place my hand on it?" Ignis asks, standing in front of the crystalline orb.
"That's correct, go ahead and do that now. You'll feel a mana scan run through your body, just stay still and let it run its course." Kevin steps back, as Ignis places his hand to the orb.
After a short while, a white light forms a card in the air. Ignis reaches out, catching it as it falls.
Name: Ignis Empyrion
Level 1
Rank D
Evolutionary Awakened
"May I see that?" Kevin holds out a hand, accepting it from Ignis, he looks over it. "Does this all match what's in your status window?"
"Yes, It all matches." Ignis says taking the card back from kevin's hand's.
"Alright, we're all done here then. Unless," Kevin crouches down, "Now that you watched your brother do it, are you sure you don't want to try?" he ask gently
Minnie glances at Ignis who smiles and nod's, "I-I guess," she says hesitantly.
"All you need to do is walk up to the orb and press your hand against it, just like Ignis did." Kevin says gently, as Minnie walks up to her brother.
"Even if she does awaken, is she required to do any hunting yet? She's only 13," Ignis says, as Minnie places her hand on the orb.
Amy steps forwards, "She'll be offer to do so, however she isn't required to actively do any hunts unless she wishes to. Although we will need to train her so she can at least protect herself."
"That's fine," Ignis nods lightly.
After a few minutes of holding her hand to the orb, and nothing happening "Alright, looks like she doesn't have any signs of awakening yet." Doctor Kevin lightly claps his hands together, "that's all for this stage."
Amy nods, "Let's go to the practical exam room Ignis, Minnie and I will be in the observation room." passing by a door, Amy stops, "You'll enter here, Ignis. Instructions will come over an intercom, do your best."
Ignis walks through the doorway, as Amy and Minnie enter the observation room. May sits inside, smiling as she waves at Minnie.
Leaning forward on the desk, May begins giving instructions. "This is May~ the Cute receptionist girl. Please make your way to the red circle in the center of the room, Ignis."
Ignis laughs lightly, feeling the tension in his shoulders melt away. 'I'll have to thank her for that little plot later.' He moves into the circle pulling himself out of his thoughts.
The wall in front of him opening up, a large blue holographic wall stands at the other end of the room. "Our first test is going to be speed, you may use your powers in this stage. The timer will automatically start as soon as you pass outside of the red circle."
Ignis closes his eyes focusing his mana around his leg's, Molten boots slowly take shape, with two small vents on the side. Pressing off the ground, each step accompanied by a spout of fire. He leaves flaming footprints on the floor. Passing through the blue light, a loud buzz resounds in the room.
"Oh my, Handsome and quick. Any faster and you might steal my heart mister." May giggles through the intercom.
Minnie sits glowering in the corner at May, Amy laughs lightly. "Don't tease Minnie too much now, Let's take this seriously, May."
May shrugs lightly with a sly smile, "Is it true he fought against 2 kobolds at once, with no official training?"
Amy sigh's lightly, "Yes and he did it while he defended his fleeing sister. He also lead them on a chase as far from the Safety zone as he could. If the hunters who helped him had been even a few minutes later, he would've been overran."
May nods staring at the screen, "Be happy, that he cherishes you enough to put everything on the line, Minnie," She turns to the microphone, "Alright for the next stage, Autonomous dummies with Beast core's will come at you. You can either avoid, or fight them. Your main goal is to go uninjured until the time runs' out. This stage will go for 30 minutes, and every 5 minutes the automaton's will speed up, and use more force in their attacks. To start out they'll be the average strength of a regular human. Do your best."
Ignis nod's The molten armor slowly extending from his leg's to cover his entire body. The fingers forming into large curling claws, the chest and legs' resembling classic armor's. The air around his body distorting the the heat being let off from the armor. Having no Effect on Ignis's because of his heat resistance, Ignis kicks off the ground. Slamming a fist into the construct, it reels backwards. pressing forwards, he pierces into the chest with his fingers. Gripping the stone within, he yanks it out.
Two door's open, each sending in a construct. Ignis, glances both ways' running towards the one on his right, it swipes at his head. Dodging it with a duck, Ignis plants his hands on the floor. Lashing out both of his feet, he sends the construct tumbling back. It's chest dented in, the second construct aim's a kick at Ignis's side. He turns' his arms forming an X to block, he tumble's along the floor from the force.
Digging his clawed hand into the floor, his feet slide underneath of him again. He duck's under the second kick, standing straight up he catches the leg. Yanking the construct off balance, he drills his heel onto it's head, effectively crushing it under foot.
