Ch 22: Ordinary Regional Children

"Ok, let's follow me to the assessment room"(Sofia)

"OK"(Rudy)

Sofia invites Rudy into another room to do a status assessment.

And when they reached the room, Rudy saw an altar about 1 meter high, the altar in the form of a circle with a statue large enough to stand in the middle.

The statue standing in the middle of the altar was a statue of God Hasgfar, well it was the same statue of God as the one on the altar of the sand tribe before.

Then in front of the statue of the God, there was an eight square-shaped table that seemed to be made of jade, and on top of it was a crystal ball the size of a head. The crystal ball was shining slightly dim with its bluish light.

Rudy glanced back and forth trying to observe the entire room.

"Eh, what are you looking for? Let's go up to that altar"(Sofia)

Because seeing Rudy who just stood up while looking around, Sofia asked that question, then she invited Rudy to go up to the altar immediately.

"Hehehe, is it okay, I'm just amazed by this room? Ok, then let's go up"(Rudy)

Rudy replied with an innocent smile, then the two of them climbed the stairs and headed to the altar.

Then the two of them stopped in front of that eight square jade table.

"This is a status appraiser crystal ball, which with this tool we can accurately assess the status of each creature. You just need to channel your Mana into this crystal ball, then the magic circle will automatically activate and the assessment will be done immediately. Do you understand it?"(Sophia)

Sofia explains that the crystal ball is a tool to assess a person's status, she also explains how it works.

"Yes, I understand. Mm-hmm. But was it true that this crystal ball could judge the status of every person so accurately? I'm a little confused by how the mechanism of this crystal ball can do that?"(Rudy)

The clever Rudy asked, because he thought how it was possible for a crystal ball to scan someone so that it could know the status of that person.

Well, because according to Rudy's thinking it doesn't make sense.

"Fufufu, you were the first to doubt this crystal ball? . . . You don't seem to be from this world?"(Sophia)

Listening to Rudy's doubts, Sofia laughed then asked as she glanced at Rudy with suspicious eyes.

"Urghs. Yes I'm just curious, because in my hometown there is no tool like this, ahem. Hehehehe, well, don't think about it. Let's just start the assessment"(Rud)

Rudy was a little surprised by Sofia's question just now, then he who was smart immediately reasoned that he had never seen a tool like this before, he said, he also advised Sofia to immediately make an assessment so that this topic ends soon.

"Hmmm . . . Ok. Well, put both your hands on this crystal ball, and then you just drain Where are you?"((Sophia)

After sighing for a moment, Sofia asked Rudy to put both hands on the crystal ball.

"Yes, like this, right?"(Rudy)

Rudy placed both his hands onto the crystal ball while confirming Sofia's opinion.

"Yes, like that. Now please channel Where are you there?"((Sophia)

Sofia responds to Rudy's question, then he asks Rudy to channel his Mana immediately.

"Helmm . . . I'll open a slight gap in both of my palms alone to drain the Mana slowly. Worry if I have to take off all the psychic shields that are holding back this Mana I energy, right? Yeah, yeah, just like that"(Rudy's Mind)

"Fufufufufu, I want to see how low the capacity of Mana He will be. How could a grown man like this not have Mana, fufufufu Somehow Arlin found this Man?"((Fill Sofia's Mind)

Rudy and Sofia were speculating wildly in their respective minds.

Naturally if Sofia doubts Rudy's Mana capacity, because Rudy always wrapped his body with an invisible psychic shield so that his Mana will not be detected from the outside.

Resume...

"Yes"

After thinking for a moment, Rudy answered Yes and immediately flowed his Mana into the crystal ball.

Then the bluish light on the crystal ball shone brightly, then came patterns that also shone on the floor of the altar.

The patterns that appear form a magic circle that currently has surrounded Rudy and Sofia.

Just a few seconds later the light from the crystal ball was getting brighter and so dazzling that it encompassed all of this room!

Rudy immediately closed his eyes, because this light was so dazzling. As for Sofia, she also covered her eyes with both palms.

and...

"Eh . . . What exactly happened?"(Sophia)

In the light, there was the sound of a startled cry from Sofia.

Rudy asked while still closing his eyes because both of his hands were still on the crystal ball now.

"I don't know! It's also the first time I've seen this crystal ball shine like this"(Sofia)

Sofia doesn't know what's going on right now!

"Yes continue how. . . Do I have to continue to flow Mana into this crystal ball?(Rudy)

Rudy asked in a high tone.

"Yes . . . because the assessment is still not finished"(Sofia)

Sofia answers Rudy's question, but the light coming out of the crystal ball is getting brighter and even now the light is getting hot!

"What exactly happened? Rudy quickly remove your hands from the crystal ball!"(Sophia)

Sofia shouted and told Rudy to immediately release his hand from the crustal ball, because Sofia was a little worried about the situation that occurred now.

Rudy who heard the cry from Sofia immediately pulled his hand back.

Then the light on the crystal ball slowly began to dim, and a few seconds later this room had returned to its original state.

At the moment Sofia was downcast while panting, and Rudy was still standing while putting on his flexible face.

Now Rudy was pretending not to know anything.

"Sofia, are you okay?"(Rudy)

Rudy then asked Sofia about the situation.

"Emm, yes I'm fine . . . But, who are you really?"(Sophia)

Sofia asks who Rudy really is, as she is getting suspicious now.

"Urghs. I'm Rudy just an ordinary Regional Boy? Yeah, just like that, nothing special"(Rudy)

Rudy answered Sofia's question.

"Children of the Region? What does that mean, I've never heard a term like that?"(Sophia)

Sofia, who had just heard the word Anak Rantau, asked Rudy again.

The conscious Rudy had uttered a term that came from the Central World instantly thinking quickly to cope with this situation.

"Eh? Though that's a popular term in my yard, loh? Hemmmm, Regional Children are the name for people who seek livelihood far from their hometown. Just like a traveler or adventurer. Ahem, yeah like that"(Rudy)

The clever Rudy just put together a reasonable sentence to convince Sofia, she's even acting a little now.

Talks between Rudy and Sofia continued...

"Oh, a traveler yes. Okay, I'm not gonna ask your origins anymore, but? This crystal ball never shines that bright, even when an advanced magician is being tested? Hemmmm, but now I don't even feel the Mana energy from you? And from the first I also did not sense your Mana? It's weird?"(Sophia)

"Oh, it's only because I have a method to hide My Mana energy. Yeah, so what about my status assessment?"(Rudy)

"Where can you hide your energy? Hhhmm ok, ok.But it seems like the assessment was not successful, because the process has been stopped before it is finished? Well, we will make your member card manually only, but you will be charged 5 Gold coins as collateral? But it can later be taken back after we do a re-assessment, so just think of it as your savings, how?"(Sophia)

"Hemmm 5 Gold coins yes"(Rudy)

Rudy thought a little because 5 Gold coins was a large amount of money here.

"Why? Don't you have that amount of money?"((Sophia)

Sofia asked because it seemed like Rudy was a bit lethargic after hearing the 5 gold coins just now.

"No, no, isn't that? I was just thinking about something else. Ahem, is that okay, I agree with your advice?"(Rudy)

Rudy took advice from Sofia, because according to Rudy the card of the Hunter Union member is important to him.

Well, even though his intention to measure his strength had still not materialized by now. But Rudy had little idea that he was clearly stronger than the A rank hunter here.

"Okay, then let's go back to the receptionist room?"(Sophia)

"OK"(Rudy)

Then Rudy and Sofia came down from the altar, and they both walked out of the status assessment room. The two of them intended to return to the receptionist room earlier.
