Chapter 2: The Chosen One

So here we are standing infront of a boulder with an ancient rune on it, It was a simple test. We just have to touch it and based on our affinity the rune will glow in different colours. Starting from white,green,blue and Yellow. White being Qen, Ren is green, Yen is blue and Zen, the celestial rank, is Yellow. Zen is the rarest affinity, anyone who have Zen affinity will be automatically drafted into Hunter class, and Zen affinity only appeared one or two each year or sometimes not at all. Yen affinity was also rare, anyone with Yen affinity was promised with a successful Magic class career, you can chose to remain as a maker, a maker was also a part of Monster Slayer system, they engaged in making sophisticated slayer weapons, developing spells, traps and contributing to the advancement of magical science. Makers were not necessarily required to be on field, but slayers in magic class with Ren affinity were best suited out to be on fields, fighting along side Fighters class. According to rank, Magic capacity was also decided, Qen affinity had the bare minimum amount of magic realm inside them, they were only capable of using Enhanced Slayer weapons and casting low tier basic spell like enhanced vision and senses. Ren had double the amount of Qen affinity capacity, High tier spells required more magic. Ren affinity slayer were capable of casting mid tier spells and sometimes with intensive training, they can become a maker. Becoming a maker is a very difficult job unless one have Ren affinity, Making enhanced weapons didn't necessarily require alot of magic but rather a sharp understanding of magical properties and channeling. It was just that, by birth Ren affinity people were gifted with manipulation of magical energy, to them it came naturally. However, there were also Yen affinity Magic-Fighter class slayers who have excelled in field, with Yen affinity, you gain access to high tier spells easily and the perks of Yen affinity was that, having a certain amount of magical energy within one's body also strenghthened one's body like a Fighter class slayer even without training, sounds like a cheat and an unfair perk but there was, these were the gifts of having Yen affinity. If Yen affinity was bestowed with such gifted perks, you must be wondering about Zen affinity? I haven't forgotten about it and today, on this day of selection there would be two Zen affinity and few Yen rankers. Sorry to disappoint you, It wasn't me. You can do your guessing, I have already mentioned some interesting figures in this crowd, but I have, for your surprise, not mentioned one interesting figure. The revelation was soon to unfold but before that let me tell you about this Zen affinity, The Celestial rank. The rank that everyone desired and the pinaccle of slayer strength, is it true that strength and destiny are decided at the time of your birth?? The Celestial rank unlike the rest was capable of heavenly powers. Zen affinity candidates had ten times the capacity of Yen magical capacity, Magical energy came to them like bees flocking to nectars. Understanding Magic spells and learning spells came naturally as one knows of breathing. So with Ten times more capacity than Yen affinity, does it also mean they were ten times stronger physically than a normal fighter class? No, that was not entirely true, our physical body had a limit to how much strength it can obtain naturally without training. Yes, they were much more stronger and agile than any normal fighter class but not ten times. Even as heavenly gift, it would disrupt the balance of nature. With such high affinity they are capable of casting ancestral tier spells.
