"Honestly I don't know either , I woke up and I was there… Also why would anyone in a good mental state enter such a dangerous place of their own accord" Steve asked while completely ignoring the man's expression and glare.
He didn't know how he had gotten there and since they had basically confirmed that the room event had really taken place, it meant that there was more to this entire thing than just his reincarnation.
He had assumed that he had reincarnated into the body of one of their associates but with what he was hearing, he didn't know what to think.
"I find that hard to believe sir, no one just wakes up within a gate that isn't a monster" The other man said as the atmosphere got even heavier.
"Again, what the fuck is a Gate?" Steve asked confused by what they were saying
"Sir, if you will please place your hand on this" The blonde guy said as he brought out a small dish sized apparatus.
It had a dim orb on it as well as several weird carvings on it. It looked like something straight out of Elden ring or some other fantasy game.
"What does this do?" Steve asked as he complied.
He was suspicious about everything but from what he had seen so far, he was led to believe that these two men before him also had magical powers.
He could refuse but then what would happen?... He definitely couldn't beat anyone with mystical abilities, he could barely beat a slightly above average person in combat.
Yes, he had lied when he said he was a black belt at Krav Maga… Well he was if watching their practice on YouTube counted as training.
As soon as he touched the orb, it light up but it was barely noticeable. He didn't know what that meant.
"Is that bad?" He asked
"No sir, this is a Hunter Assement device meant to test your mana, the dim light only means that you are at E-rank"
"E-rank?, where does that sit exactly?... Would I be able to break boulders and run alongside a speeding vehicle" Steve said as a wide smile appeared on his face.
Who wouldn't smile?... He was just confirmed to have magical powers, so why shouldn't he be happy about it.
"Some E-rank have been known to do some of those things" the dark haired inspector spoke in an awkward tone
"Do you really know nothing about what is going on around here?" the blonde haired one asked.
"Well, One minute I was going to work and the next minute, I was inside that room… If I knew what was going on, do I look like the type to actively seek my death" He answered
"Okay then, thank you for your time, Mr Grant... Also you can come to the association for a better assessment if you aren't okay with this" The man said as he stood up
"Thank you" Steve answered.
He didn't know what the point of them coming was nor did he knew who or what the Hunter Association was but he was excited to know that he was a superpowered person.
