I stop thinking about that matter. I should focus on appraisal. I told Hazel that I would appraise Fay once she gains consciousness. So I should get to it.
"Fay, can I appraise you now?"
"I guess so. Go on." (Fay)
"Thanks. I'll be excusing myself."
I should at least say that much. I will be peeking at her personal information after all. I should be polite.
I focus my mind and start appraising her.
And this is how it goes:
Subject: Fay Adams.
Level:20
Race: Demi-human (half spirit)
Age:18
HP:891
MP:0
Strength:150
Agility:120
Stamina:80
Endurance:50
Intelligence:100
Sanity:100
Skills: Fire magic, water magic, wind magic, Spirit contractee.
It's a weird status. I think Hazel had more to her status than this.
"Fay, is your status true?"
"Why? Is something wrong?" (Fay)
"No. I think Hazel has better stats than you."
"I guess so. Seeing your inhuman strength, I thought she would be the same. By the way, what is her status?" (Fay)
"I think I remember. Wait…"
But how do I show it to her?
(Use the status board function. Your appraisal records the status of an individual. So just bring that out or you can appraise again.)
That's convenient. I should appraise Hazel again. The last time wasn't so long ago but I get the feeling that she has grown since then.
"Wait, I will appraise Hazel again. And then I will show it to you."
I appraise Hazel again. And it kinda shocked me.
Subject: Hazel
Level: 1
Race: Evolved Demi-human (dog)
Age: 15
HP: 1000
MP: 50
Strength: 80
Agility: 120

It was her previous status. But her current stats are kinda bugged.
Subject:Hazel
Level:5
Race:Demi-human (Spirit dog)
Age:15
HP:1500
MP:150
Strength:200
Agility:200

The skills haven't changed. But her stats have improved. And only level 5. How strong is she going to be?
I imagine a transparent floating board like in those anime. It appeared instantly.
"This is Hazel's current status. And this is yours."
I tell Fay as I show her the status. And her face darkens. I guess it's abnormal.
"What is this? Is this a normal status?" (Fay)
"Why?"
"My status is considered high. But this even dwarfs the strongest humans." (Fay)
"Mmm…if you are considered strong, then I don't have to worry. By the way, I wanted to know about the races. Which races live alongside humans on your star?"
"If it's races, then elves, dwarves, dragonewts, fairies, spirits, demons…there are many." (Fay)
"I see. A diverse world. But who would be strongest among them?"
"Each race has their own traits. Humans are all rounders. They don't excel excel in any but can do it. Something like that." (Fay)
"I see. But the strongest would be I guess the dragonewts, right?"
"You aren't wrong. If you are talking about brute strength and defense, they are the strongest. But they are weak in magic which makes them weak to magic." (Fay)
"It's complicated. But I understand. Now for mine."
I finally do it. My stats. I still hadn't appraised myself. But I am wondering, what kind of stats would I have?
However, my expectations were not met. When I used appraisal on myself, I got this message.
(Subject not eligible for appraisal.)
What kind of message is that?
(I think you are above your appraisal skill. So not even the highest rank appraisal can see your status. I see. Your growth is splendid.)
What kind of growth are you talking about?
(I will talk to you later. Don't talk to me while you have them.)
I look in front of me. Hazel and Fay are staring at me.
"Master, are you sleeping again?" (Hazel)
"No. I was just appraising myself."
"What did you see?"
Fay lunges at me.
"I am not eligible. I guess I can't appraise myself."
I can only wryly smile. But Fay is distraught at that.
"How can it be? Are you really a human?" (Fay)
"I think. I am a human. I believe that I am."
"I guess we have to wait." (Hazel)
Now, let's strategize. I don't think I have to be that careful. However, a third party is meddling in this. So I have to be vigilant.
I am in a slump again. Wait. My exams will start on September 15. So I think I will stop at around the 10th.
