Mixed Blessing System

After they shook hands, Lothur stopped using his visual power on this young man, who clearly had a Soul Bone in his left eye.

Lothur was not the friendly type with anyone who came near him. He was more the type who would only get involved with whoever was necessary, or he was interested in, following the example of the women he had gotten involved with so far.

But seeing that apprentice in the profession of formation master with a Soul Bone standing next to him, Lothur could not help but value this person. After all, he did not want to have to be actively involved in his future endeavors.

No, he wanted to live in the shadows while others would do the hard work for him!

As such, having capable people by his side was of paramount relevance for Lothur to realize his dream of domination without worry!

Thus, Lothur introduced himself to that man who had not seen Annaliese's brother-in-law earlier show of confidence because he was taking the test at that moment.

After shaking one of Johann's hands, Lothur said. "Do you come from some big family? Are you living here, in Peters City?"

"Hmm, my family is not based here, but I came to learn the art of formation masters here in Peters City. So I live here, away from my home, Teusen." He answered the person next to him, this misinformed fellow.

"Teusen family?" Lothur asked in a low voice to Annaliese.

"It is a medium-sized power in our province that focuses on this profession." She said in a low voice in one of Lothur's ears.

Meanwhile, Johann asked. "What about you?"

Lothur replied as he looked back at this fellow. "Actually, I'm forming my own family, hehe. But anyway, maybe I'll tell you this story in the future..."

After that, Lothur walked beside Annaliese to where one of the examiners was calling him.

"Is it normal for children of powers who specialize in that profession to send their offspring to study abroad?" He asked her.

"More or less." She began to speak. "But note that he is already at the 7th Transformation... In comparison, others taking this test are between the 3rd and 5th Transformation."

"So, he probably received his primary education in his family, and then they sent him here to finish his training."

She looked at Lothur as she stopped beside one of the glass rooms in that area. "That is common. Just look at my family's case. It sent Viktoria to the Morning Star Academy, right? It's the same logic. My sister learned the basics in our family, but only the academy can finalize her cultivator training."

"I see..." He commented as he entered the testing room in that area.

The examiner read his registration and then said. "Lothur, you will now have your knowledge regarding inscriptions tested. You need to get at least 75% of what you do on the exam right."

"Do you have any questions?"

"Are there any rules? Anything I can't use on the exam?" Lothur asked as he thought about his Soul Bone.

The examiner said. "Anything you can use, as long as it is not a formation, is considered part of your skills. So, we don't mind."

"OK. You can start the exam!" He said with a bit of animation to put his skills to the test.

'After my advancement in terms of talent, I haven't trained my formation master skills much, but I have finished studying the inscriptions for 1-star individuals...' He thought about this as the room he was in was filled with a colorful gas.

As he stopped seeing the outside of that area, where Annaliese, Johann, Cedric, and the other individuals were, little by little, Lothur felt the examination begin.

This time he did not simply feel a little discomfort and nothing more. This time he did not even feel a weight on his conscience, and soon several inscriptions appeared on his surroundings, like floating buttons.

But among these 'buttons,' not everything that was 'written' could be considered inscriptions, the language of Natural Law.

Some of them also formed sentences, but some were incorrect in small details, which was not difficult for Lothur to identify.

'Is there also an option for me to correct?' He realized this as he noticed that he could use his fingers to write on these 'buttons.'

'Well, first, let's eliminate those that are correct...' He slowly began to tap the 'buttons' without errors, making them disappear from his surroundings.

As Lothur did this, his score appeared at the top of the door to the room he had entered.

'2%...'

'3%... 4%... 4.5%...'

Annaliese and the other people waiting outside the examination rooms saw his score slowly rising, ignoring the other apprentices taking their tests.

After Lothur displays arrogance, many curse him, wishing to see him suffer the biggest embarrassment of his life by failing in front of his girl.

Meanwhile, Cedric had his fists clenched so hard that his bones emitted strange sounds while he kept thinking about Lothur's words.

'That bastard will pay me back!'

'When he loses, not only will I steal his girl, but I will also prevent him from continuing to learn my profession!'

'I'll talk to my uncle to make his life difficult whenever he comes to the association!' He mischievously smiled, giving no importance to Lothur's score.

That was the most straightforward test, and anyone who studied for the required time could achieve 75%.

The only problem with this test was that some hasty apprentices did not trust the advice of their superiors and came to take the exam before they were ready.

As a result, several individuals who had passed before Lothur had failed on it, lost their registration fees, and returned home with their confidence weakened.

But Cedric saw that although Lothur looked like a mortal, he was not simple!

'43%...'

"That Lothur is truly fast, that I have to admit," Johann commented in a low voice, realizing that at this pace, it would not even take 2 minutes for that silver-haired man to finish the exam.

'Even using my Soul Bone, which is compatible with formations, it took me 6 minutes to finish this test...' He thought, seeing that Lothur's talent for this profession was not small.

'Maybe I should approach him. My family always told me that it would be good for me to have contacts with capable people...' He continued watching the scoreboard in Lothur's room.

'66%...'

As for Annaliese, she had a confident smile on her face and was just in doubt about how far Lothur would get. 'Is it possible for him to get everything right?' She wondered, ignoring the surprised comments in the surroundings.

'2 minutes into the test, and he's almost at the pass mark...' One of the examiners there looked with interest at Lothur's score.

'Is he that good? Maybe his arrogance is not unfounded?'

'74%...'

Cedric finally saw Lothur achieving what was necessary to pass that exam stage. But he still was not nervous, 'That's nothing! I want to see how you'll do on the remaining tests!'

'79%...'
