BXBX NOVEL Chapter 21: Affinity Test
Chapter 21: Affinity Test
Currently, I am sitting in my sister\'s office room.
I have been in the room a couple of times in my memories but seeing her room, in reality, it looks even better. She surely likes to keep it clean and neat.
While I was waiting for Alizejh to come I noticed someone near the door but hesitating to enter. Annoyed, I got up from my seat to see who was standing outside.
Sighing I opened the door and I saw my disciple almost tripping due to the door opening suddenly.
"Derek, why are you here?" A frown came upon my face, did he really manage to finish his daily training?
He looked at me and shouted with respect like a soldier doing it to a colonel,
"Yes, Master!"
The corners of my mouth couldn\'t help but twitch.
"Is that so? How many did you do today?"
The boy started to fiddle with his fingers. I shook my head, seems that he didn\'t do his training, I can\'t blame him for that, the training was too hard for a human.
Seeing that he was still shy I spoke up.
"It\'s fine if you didn\'t do it, I won\'t punish you or anything."
"A-actually master... I did triple the exercises because I felt that they were not enough so I did. Please forgive me!! I will fulfill any punishment master gives!!!!" He screamed as he went for a deep bow, his head smashing on the ground.
Is he really a human?!! Or a monster in disguise!!!
I could not help but cough a little and pointed toward the bald spots on his head.
"You don\'t need to smash your head on the ground you have already started to go bald."
"Huh?" The human frowned confused seeing where my index finger was pointing, following my finger\'s direction he placed a hand on his head.
His reaction made my day.
From a perfectly cherry face, it transformed into a pale whitewash.
I couldn\'t help but laugh at it,
"Dont worry that was just a joke, you still have a fine crop of black gelled hair?..."
He sighed as color returned to his face as he said in a low tone.
"Master... you are a troll."
Yeah, many people have said that to me before.
"Anyway my point is that if you train so much, there is a possibility of you going bald, so don\'t train a lot also. Everything should be within limits."
The boy teared up and snot came from his nose, damn this guy, please don\'t hug me!
"Thank you for your wise words master!! This unfilial disciple will follow the master to the ends of the Earth!! Master is the best!"
I would feel better if you didn\'t follow me with that snot face of yours.
Still, I really must admit, this human is quite abnormal, maybe taking him under my peerage was a nice idea.
"Derek," I called him out, I felt a bit of pity for him.
"Let\'s, go and take a Magic-Attribute assessment."
"Yes, Master!" He looked up at me with a new fire in his eyes.
A bitter smile couldn\'t help but come across my face, his loyalty towards me is quite admirable. I guess he deserved a little bit of personal training from my side.
Except that I am not teaching him anything particularly.
We are just going for a Magic Assessment test because I want to check my mana attributes. The previous me hadn\'t done so because my mana capacity was too less for a proper test.
It won\'t be a problem if little extra company tags along with me.
"Alright, then it is decided!" I clapped my hands cheerfully and airhead ness.
"You are paying for the assessment, Derek, as my fa-vo-rite dis-ci-ple." I ended the sentence with a peace sign, exact same way I have seen in animes.
Derek smiled wryly.
"Yes, Master..."

We went toward the Assessment center in a luxurious vehicle
Reaching there we went towards the personal assessment rooms as quickly as possible, one of the perks of being the master of a rich brat was not waiting in line.
When we finally reached the room, I closed the door behind me and inspected the room.
It was made of pure metal, it covered it fully, it was more of a confinement room or rather called a jail but a full metal one.
That is quite a good measure to take, sometimes people have magic accidents, that go haywire and destroy everything in their path.
In that way even attribute less mana is very dangerous when it goes berserk.
I took out the mana crystal given to us when we entered the room and placed it in the middle of the cold concrete ground.
Quickly I placed it on the table which had a mat specially made to accustom the crystal.
A mana crystal is a crystal that absorbs mana and stores it.
It is used in many magic devices and is very expensive in the lower world but common in the Celestial Realm hence many come to the lower world to give a steady supply of mana crystals.
They also show your magic element when you push your mana into it. When mana is pushed into it they change its color which indicates the attribute or element.
"Derek you go first." The best always go last.
"Yes, master!!" He screamed, smashing his head on the ground as he bowed again.
"You know, you don\'t have to scream again and again, and please don\'t bow like that, you will break that skull of yours or maybe you will have more face to wash every morning."
Derek almost started to tear up as he looked at me.
"Master I will do as you say, please no bald jokes."
"Alright alright just trying to lighten the mood... by the way if you use more toothpaste than shampoo you will know that you are going-"
Before I could finish, Derek interrupted.
"Master.. please.."
Kids nowadays have no patience at all.
"Very well, go and check your attribute."
He shuddered with fear as he walked towards the crystal, he breathed in and exhaled as hard he could. A new light was born anew in his eyes brimming with confidence.
He touched the crystal gently to which ripples were created. Then the crystal glowed red brightly. Then the color changed to green.
Ripples of mana formed on the crystal and like a wave it resounded in the entire object and came back to one piece just like how ripples are formed in water.
Derek looked depressed because his attributes didn\'t look that special according to him.
"So what do red and green mean, master?"
"Red is for Fire magic, fire magic is the most destructive and common element. Fire burns everything, nothing can stop a fire. It can purify the sins of people, or heal people or maybe just reduce everything to ashes. In front of a fire, everything bows down to it just like how the subjects of a King bow down to him." I replied calmly to him.
Suddenly Derek looked more lively now and was in a good mood.
"So fire is the magic of Kings? So does that mean I am a king?!" He asked me with eager eyes full of excitement.
"That was a metaphor dumbo," I smirked at him, fire is actually one of the most common elements.
"Your other element, the green one is wind magic," I replied to him while he was making circles on the ground and weeping.
"Well at least you have dual elements, that\'s a feat in itself at least for a human." It actually was impressive because it was hard to find humans with dual elements.
Dual elements were common in other species, so it was average in my eyes, even trash if you see it from the perspective of the Celestial Realm.
"Alright, it is now my chance."
I step forward going towards the crystal, I have guesses that my elements will be the same as my previous life but they can change based on the fact that I am now also part Angel and Demon.
My hand brushed against the crystal as I sent my mana in it, let\'s see what my element will be.
Then the crystal started to glow with a bright light. The light was light blue in color. I immediately deciphered what the color meant and was not at all disappointed with it.
Light blue meant that I had an affinity for the water element.
Then the blue light started to change into a bright green color no less bright than the blue light.
Green light meant the wind element. It seemed like my affinity for the wind was the same compared for water.
Then the crystal had a brown light, it was a bit dim. It was the earth element!
I was satisfied I had three elements and a good amount of affinity for all of them.
-but then another light came from the crystal, it was very red in color. It was the fire element!
I was not that surprised, seems like I have the same elements as my past life.
The light slowly started to dim down at a very fast speed! It kept on dimming until the crystal was totally black in color. It was as dark as ebony or better to say exactly like a vantablack shade.
It was the darkness element!
I was shocked a bit shocked I had really not expected to get an affinity for the darkness element but then again maybe it is because I am a demon.
Then the crystal started shining with a golden light, as expected, if I had darkness from my Demon side then I should have Light element from my Angel side.
After that, the crystal didn\'t shine with any light. I instantly felt a bit disheartened. I expected that this roller coaster ride would go on for a little bit more time.
Just when I thought the assessment was done light erupted from the crystal. It wasn\'t bright nor was it dim, it had many lights swirling together in a loop with one light in the middle, just like a galaxy of stars.
There were many colors in the light, pink, purple, white, and blue. They were beautiful, they swirled like a boat rowing across a gentle river without making any sound or waves.
I couldn\'t help but be dazed by the heavenly view in front of me.
"A galaxy?"
