Chapter 6: Evaluation Star Mage
In the back room there was a door which led to a spatial warehouse, it had training dummies, targets, crystal affinity balls... you name it and it was probably there.
He first measured me then took some notes. He put the paper into a magical sewing machine, and instantly the sewing machine went to work.
He walked me over to the crystal balls, the first one was a giant orb, he told me to rest both my hands on it and relax.
I put my hands on the crystal ball and took a big exhale. Slowly the ball went from clear to getting brighter, brighter, brighter, then the whole warehouse was lit up.
"Kid take your hands off!"
I immediately took my hands off and looked over at Dan.
"Good grief! you have some crazy mana there son. I cant give you an actual number, but based on the color I'd say you have the mana of a S class mage or just below it. Why don't we test out your affinities next..."
There were 5 affinities, [Water], [Wind], [Fire], [Earth], and [Lightning] the strongest solo elements were [lightning] and [Fire]. However, dual element cases [lighting] and [wind] or [fire] and [wind] would be naturally one of the strongest. The other mixture of elements were good for support, but as far as front loaded damage it wasn't the best.
I tested each of my affinities and found out I didn't hav e a single affinity. Dan looked super puzzled given that I had so much mana at such a young age. He then went to a box in the corner of the room and picked up a pitch black crystal.
He placed it right in front of me and told me to put my hand on the crystal like the others.
Before doing so, I asked him, "What element is this? I haven't seen a black element."
He nodded and said, "neither have I, but this crystal was here when we built the academy and when we tested it by infusing tons of mana into it, a black hole was formed sucking in everything."
I gulped and place my hands on the black crystal. Right away the crystal reacted, within a few seconds the whole room went pitch black. Then as if I was sucking in the black aura, the room regain light. When we both looked at the black crystal it was no longer black, but rather it was clear now.
"Huh?" I said...
"Well... that was certainly interesting. You sure you don't know your bloodline, because this is some spooky shit young man."
I nodded no, but opened my [status] to see if anything was different after that:

"Holy Shit!" I said out loud...
Dan turned to look at me... "You ok kid?"
Yeah just a little socked I replied back
"Ok, now let's test your strength, then magic attack, and lastly you can decide on your class." Dan said
"Well... that's great and all... but I think I already have a class."
I wasn't going to revel my system, so I lied...
"Say what now kid?"
"When I touched that black crystal and absorbed the darkness from it, images in my head appeared.. maybe an awakening of some sort? The class...ermm.. star mage came to my mind. Have you ever heard of that class?" I said
"No... this is really strange, let me call the director here and we can test out any abilities you might have gotten."
I nodded and we proceeded the physical test.
However... unlike magic, I did not have a body suitable for physical attacks and got pity points and was told my physical strength measurement was F rank... but in reality it would be lower than F rank.
Terri came running in asking if everything was alright.
Dan and Terri walked off to the side and talked... presumably about Star mage class.
They both walked up to me and then asked do you think you have any new abilities we can see. We want to believe you, but since no one has ever strayed from the typical elemental mage, it is hard to comprehend.
I nodded and said "I know of two new abilities..."
I didn't want to lie to my new mom and only family so I spoke the truth.
"One ability is called [Blackhole] and the other is called [Nova Beam], although I kinda know what each ability does I like yourself am just learning about it."
Terri then said, "ok, let's try out [Blackhole] first, how do you activate it?"
I looked at Terri and walked over whispering something in her ear. She nodded in agreement to what I said and I walked a few meters away from them.
Terri used [Lighting Spear] and shot it at me, when the spear was a few centimeters away from hitting me a [Blackhole] formed in front of me and sucked in the spear. She then shot [Lightning needles] at me which is a giant AOE attack shooting over 1,000 needles made of lightning at me. Just like the spear it absorbed all of the needles. Crazy enough I had 1,000 more mana left from my 101,100 mana.
I then shouted, "STOP! I am running low on mana..." I then said, "It feels a good chunk of mana gets taken away for every projectile absorbed."
I knew full well how much gets taken away, however, in order to not say anything about my system I made a truthful claim that wasn't exactly the whole truth.
After resting for a few minutes my mana already regened to about 50%. I then looked over at professor Dan and asked, "The [Blackhole] skill still has one more sub ability can I use it on you? I promise it won't hurt you physically."
I have him a puppy dog look
Dan sighed, then walked to the middle of the room. "Go ahead kid, just don't kill me."
I look at Terri and snicker a little knowing what's going to happen... I point and activate [Blackhole].
Professor Dan went wide eyed and gulped before getting sucked in. 10 seconds later he was shot out of the blackhole and landed on his back looking straight up at the ceiling with both his legs in the air. The look on his face was sheer horror almost like he was being chased my something then knocked in the air.
I touch his head and released him and he was hyperventilating... "NEVER, NEVER EVER EVVVVER! use that ability on a friendly!!!!" Yelled Dan
Seeing how distraught Dan was Terri didn't have the heart to ask what happened.
Terri then said, "So that beam ability next?"
I looked at her and said, "ERRRM... well I can... but two things, how much heat can this place hold? and secondly I will need you to pick me up and bring me back home as I will be incapacitated for 12 hours after using this ability."
They both looked at me, then looked at the storage warehouse full of expensive gear.
Terri then said, "hmm let's do this outside" then we all proceeded to walk out to the academy outer grounds.
