I walk into the hallway and look my way around until I saw the area with several cubicles with it along with rows upon rows of chairs.
It seems like these is the registration area and waiting are. I approach one of the cubicle and talk to the person in there.
"Hi, I'm Archie Miles. The Chairman told me that I can register myself here as part of the priority group." I said.
She then look up and me and her face brightened immediately.
"You are Mindanao's Guardian right? Why are you here? You are suppose to be in the mana measuring device right now. Wait I'll take you there myself." She stood up and talk to the other people working in their cubicles.
"Guys I'll take Archie to the mana measuring device. It seems like he needs my help." She said.
The others who heard it immediately look at my direction and I just wave and smile at them
"Archie from Mindanao? Oh my gosh. I couldn't believe that I see him in person. Anyways go bring him to the others as well. Make it quick, you need to be here after they finish the ceremony outside." She said, it seems like she is their supervisor.
"Yes Ma'am. Mr. Archie Please follow me." She politely said and we walk to the other room.
The door on this room is named -Mana Measurement- so it's impossible for me not to think that this is my destination.
"Please enter this room, I'll return to my job now." She said and bowed.
"Thank you for the help" I replied and bowed as well.
She parted her way and I enter the room.
Inside I saw several people and I could already tell who are they.
A handsome guy with Korean Style hair wearing polo inserted in his pants,
holding a sword in a scabbard is probably the Light Speed Hero, Makoy Delacruz.
A bulky guy that I have met before, The Titan, Ferdinand Calope.
A female wearing tube looking like she is in her 20's despite knowing that she is already in her 30's was holding a Bow without an arrow.
And the last 4 awakened in the room are David, Charlie and other two personnel who I believe is in charge of this area.
All of them look at my direction.
"He's finally here."Mr. Ferdinand said. It seems like everyone wants to see me as well.
"Sorry for being late." I said and bowed apologetically towards the two personnel.
"Don't worry about it, we know why you are late. Please come here so we could begin measuring your mana immediately." One of them said and I look at David and he only signaled me to go along.
"He's really different like like you said." Ms. Christine said to Mr. Ferdinand.
"He has more mana than the guy over there. He's definitely the one who did those thunderstorm in Marinduque without a doubt." Makoy commented as well.
"I told you, it's no doubt that he can certainly defend the entire Mindanao with that much mana inside him. That awakened there was with him in the assembly as well but that time he is not awakened yet. There are two strong people in Mindanao now." Ferdinand commented.
It seems like these three has been acquaintance already.
I wanted to say to Ferdinand that the very person you tried to punch is now stronger than you, you better watch your back but I decided not too because I remember that I'm not that kind of person hahaha.
I arrived at the Tv looking machine that has pad in the front and it was put above the huge black box which is underneath it.
"Please place your hand on the scanner." Said the operator so I place my hand in there.
"Please release mana just a little."
I did it and suddenly there where numbers written on the screen and it was moving up so fast until it stopped at 1000. The machine keeps blinking at 1000.
"Why is it blinking? Is it alright?" I ask.
"Actually the limit of the mana that it could measure is 1000, going beyond that is unreadable by the machine that's why it keeps blinking." He said.
"Wow he reach pass the limit. We are only near 800. And that guy over there is already at 980 but he still pass over him." He's the strongest of the entire Philippines officially after this. It's not like we don't know that even if he doesn't use the device. Well I am still at the top 5 so I'm fine with it." Makoy commented.
"According to the set rank given by the amount of mana, you are rank as SS+. Actually the rank SS is not complete yet, it is only indicated that it should start at 900 and ends at 1200. But since the device that could measure mana above 1000 is still in it's developmental stage, it is decided to put everyone who exceeded 1000 to SS+. Whether you became above SS rank or actually stay at SS rank will be decided in the future." He explains.
"Ahh thank you for everything." I said.
I look around and David started clapping.
"Congratulations" David said and everyone followed around.
"Congratulations to you Archie, the strongest so far in the Philippines." Makoy said.
The only person here with a nice title but not so nice name.
"Thank you."
"Congratulations đź‘Ź"Ferdinand
"Congratulations đź‘Ź" Christine
"Thank you as well"
Everyone clapped and I didn't hear Charlie words but I could hear his clapping.
"Now we will classify your class. Please show us some of your skills. Just make it weak, don't destroy this entire building just to show off."
"I have a weird skills. I could cast magic but I could also perform any support magic. Like this."
--Minor Haste--
I casted the spell to the personnel but since he didn't move, we couldn't tell if he's faster. Only he could feel it to himself.
"That's odd. Can you show us your magic?"
I just nodded and put two waypoint in the same room.
--Teleport--
"Is that alright?" I asks.
"Yes, it's definitely magic. Space Magic to be specific, but I do know that you can perform many spells beside that. I see, we will put you in Magic Class, Sorcerer." He declared.
"Are there any sorcerer class that you know of?" I inquired.
"I don't know anyone yet. We will just change it if something better comes up, you work here anyways so it won't be an inconvenient to you. Most Magic Class only has 1 particular element that they could use, just like David over there who could only use Ice Magic that's why he is classified as Magic Class Ice Mage. But since you can perform a lot of things from different elements we have to put you into a separate cathegory as them." He explained.
"I understand. What is the next procedure?" I asks.
"That would be oath and pledge taking. Please all of you proceed to the next room." He said and everyone walks out in the room.
We then arrive and take our pledge. After doing it I could feel something that chained me magically. Everyone feels the same as well.
Now it's impossible for us to use our powers to wreak havock anywhere.
We then proceeded to where I first come from. The cubicle area and our identity where questioned over there. As well as our future plans. Whether we want to be a Monster Hunter or just an Awakened that works on different field.
Of course I did take the Hunter and a valid I.D was created for me.
Suddenly a rush of awakened, press and other people come inside, it seems like the ribbon cutting and speech has ended already.
Majority of the awakened immediately proceed to the waiting line, where they have to wait to get their mana measured first.
But the reporters has their eyes on us. Upon seeing us, they immediately rush towards us.
"You are Light Speed hero right? Can we interview you?"
"Mr.Archie what are your plans in Marinduque City after you bombarded it with thunders? Mr.Archie please answer."
"The Titan what can you say about the new regulations regarding awakened people in the country?"
"Ms. Christine, what can you say to those people who blamed you for the destruction you caused in Visayas area."
The four of us are being asked by the reporters when suddenly David and Archie arrived and prevented them from approaching us even more.
"Please back off everyone." Charlie said.
"Who are you? A guard of Archie? Please back off you don't seem like an important person." The reporter said.
"Hey, I'm a official Hunter as well. A rank at that. See?" He then showed his new I.D which made the reporter even more frenzy.
"Please tell us your rank."
"What is your rank ..."
"Rankk...."
A mob of reporters wants to know all of our ranks after Charlie reveals that we already have one.
"Charlie you really are a trouble maker. Can you think of your actions more?"
I blamed him.
"I was just trying my best to help."
"Clearly not, you just want some exposure as well. I could tell that. If you want likers just tell your brother to help you, he has tons of it."
Suddenly awakened group emerge and push out all the reporters outside the building. We then finally breath in relief.
"I'll look for your mother and ask if she wanted to return already." I said and move.
"Wait, I'll go with you as well." Said David and both him and Charlie followed around.
We arrive at the Chairman's office where I saw people talking to the newly appointed Chairman while Elly and Mrs. Soreso was in the couch seating.
"Oh you are finally here. What are your ranks?" The Chairman said.
"I'll talk to your wife first Mr. Chairman, you can ask David for the results. They seems to be tired already."
I then leave immediately and go to where two are.
"Archie, you are finally here. Can you send us home now? This place is very busy." Mrs. Soreso ask and Elly was on the same as well.
"Sorry, there are a lot of reporters who tried to block our way. I'll send you now don't worry." I said and prepare my spell.
"Thank you" Mrs. Soreso said.
She first signaled Mr.Soreso that she will be going now and Mr.Soreso just nodded at her, and I immediately activated my spell after that.
--Teleport--
