"Is something wrong?" Argus asked, seeing Adam so stunned, but thought it was just because the news about Innate Skill was so unexpected.
"Ah, yes." Adam nodded and turned to him. "Right, about the promotion test…"
"We've seen enough." Argus said. "You passed."
Adam nodded with relief.
"Give me your mercenary card." Albertson said, offering his hand.
Adam took out his mercenary card. It was small and simple-looking. Then he handed it over to him.
Albertson took the card and then took out a strange item from his inventory.
It looked like a small version of the printing machine. It was hand-sized with a crank on one side.
With the card in hand, he inserted it inside the strange item and turned the crank.
It hummed for a couple of seconds and then stopped.
Albertson took the card out of the machine and handed it back to Adam.
"There you go."
Adam looked at the card with a slight smile.
