Capítulo 46: Contract Offer ( 1 )
"Nice catch… Your Aura also flowed out smoothly. This is better than what I expected." Terrence praised the young man.
Though many Awakened can also catch the egg without shattering it, their method of pulling out their Aura wasn't as smooth as how Cyril did it.
The young man smiled after hearing him being praised. If he couldn't do this much, he would be ashamed of himself.
"Alright… Then, disintegrate it for me… I can feel that you have really good control in your Aura… I'm sure that you can do this." Terrence gave another instruction and even encouraged him that he can do it!
This left him confused as there was nothing like this during his previous license exam!
'What is this guy thinking?!'
He couldn't just say that there's no such exam before or that this exam is too advanced for this year.
'Haa~ Disintegration technique is still not developed at this date. Why would he do this to me?'
Cyril pondered as he's unsure whether to complete the man's instructions. What he had to do is either to fail the exam or to disintegrate it as he was told.
However, if he failed it deliberately, this mad man might not give his license!
'Wait, can he even fail me? I'm sure I can file a case about this and get another examiner… Ugh… There shouldn't be anyone who could disintegrate it just with their Aura at the moment. At the very least, we should be capable of shattering it…'
As soon as he reached this thought, he finally realized what to do. He just had to do the best that the current Awakened can do…
"Very well… Let me try..." Cyril muttered as he controlled the egg to float in his hands about a couple of inches from his palm…
Terrence smiled seeing his actions. He probably thought that Cyril is unaware that this shouldn't be a part of the license exam.
'I wonder how he will try to complete this task… It's my first time testing a B-Rank Awakened like me. He also seems to have better talent than I have. I'm sure that he can at least crack the egg with his current control.' The man mused as he waited for Cyril to complete the task.
Crack! Crack!
It didn't take long before Cyril managed to completely shatter the egg!
The cracked shell and its liquid fell off from his hands and splattered on the floor.
As expected, the young man was unable to disintegrate it…
'Well, he at least tried to do something about it.' Terrence thought. He wasn't surprised that Cyril failed. Apparently, he just wanted to see what he will do about it based on his instructions.
He noticed how the young man tried to twist his Aura and perhaps make the shell turn into dust… It was a good try for someone who had just gotten control of his Aura for about a week.
"So, you're still unable to disintegrate an object, huh… Good try." Terrence said and even clapped a couple of times to applaud him.
'What? I bet you can't even disintegrate it yourself…' The young man thought. He didn't say it out loud as he just wanted this exam to be finished.
The license exam continued. Terrence tried to test the limits of his Aura… He tested the time it takes to manipulate the Aura, their hardness, questioned him about the do's and don't of the Awakened in the real world, and he even ordered Cyril to wield a Rank B Artifact for him!
The Artifact he used was a magic sword imbued with lightning. It seems that it was actually Terrence's weapon, so he was a bit surprised that the examiner did this just for the exam.
"Amazing, young man! You're really something else! You even know all about the laws regarding the things that we are allowed to do…"
"I just did my best learning about them before I was even Awakened… Right, did I pass the exam?"
"Of course! Of course! If you didn't pass, who would?" Terrence said as he stood up and went outside the testing hall…
"Follow me… Someone will take care of your license in few minutes… You first need to meet someone from the Association."
"Hmm… Are you not from the association?"
"No… No one can hire the Great Terrence! I'm just working here to pass my time." The middle-aged man proudly said.
Cyril didn't mind him boasting. What he was curious about is the meeting that he has to do right now.
"May I know the purpose of the meeting I have to attend?"
"Ahh… Don't be so nervous. They just want to speak with some powerful Awakened that has completed the license exam. Since you passed as B-Rank, the Association would have to keep their eyes on you. Your power is too strong and with your strength alone, you can most likely clear a lower class Arcane World."
"Ohh~ Is that so?"
"Yes… Compared to other lower ranks, the B-Rank can easily cause trouble here in the real world. Just your Aura alone can probably tear a pillar or two of a building."
Terrence said with a smile. It was almost as if he was taunting him to do it.
"That's too much… I think I will have trouble doing that… Anyway, I still have to do something after this I hope it will be short." Cyril said and was just answered with a smile.
It didn't take long before Cyril was taken to a room where another office lady is waiting for him.
The room is two floors above the examination room. So it only took them a couple of minutes to get here.
"Sir Cyril… Thank you for coming here. You can call me Valerie and I'm here as the representative of the Association. " The lady greeted him. She then gestured for him to sit in front of her.
"Alright… I'll leave him to you..." Terrence said as he left the room after giving a nod to the lady.
Thud!
As soon as the door closed, the lady's aura changed. However, before she could speak more, Cyril butted in.
"I'm in a hurry since I still have a lot of things to do, please keep it short…"
Valerie seems a bit surprised but she just smiled at the young man and did as she was told.
"Very well, I want to offer you a two-year contract with extremely good compensation. Please join the Awakened Association and not some other guilds."
The lady said with a confident smile.
