[Physical score 8460 – rank 28]
[Mental score 6330 – rank 91]
[Your final test rank is 68]
Emery managed to reach level 8 for the physical test, but only level 6 for his spirit test. The test allowed him to know the numerical value of his prowess and the stark differences between the two factors being examined.
In the past, Emery knew he was strong when compared to his peers of the same rank, but he didn't know exactly how much stronger he was. Now, he finally found out how strong and which aspect he should focus on in the future to further improve.
The result that Emery managed to achieve in his first time was really exceptional, especially for someone in the rank 8 acolyte like him. In fact, Rank 68 was a good enough result for someone who just entered the privileged class, as it basically had exceeded almost one third of the universe's most talented young acolytes.
However, there was some kind of unexpected feeling of disappointment brewing and nestling in Emery's heart. Before he took the test, Emery expected he would get an outstanding result with the many factors and advantages that he had over his peers: the Wolf Bloodline, the double core, the Khaos Space and even the guidance from many esteemed masters.
Magus Ramora didn't know what Emery was thinking to make his expression look like that, but she was genuinely amused when she saw his face, as he came out of the tube-like chamber.
"I can see that you are not happy." She said while snickering. "Good, good, this kind of attitude is what is needed from a privileged class acolyte."
Emery only flashed a wry smile at the provocation thrown in his direction. After he put his white privilege uniform back on, one of the three staff members approached him. Apparently, he was given the opportunity to see the data generated by the test.
"First we shall show you the physical test result."
[Emery Ambrose]
[Privilege acolytes member ID: 83192008]
[Average stat comparison]
[Battle Power 108 (180) A]
[Strength 105 (204) – A]
[Agility 112 (195)] – A]
[Endurance 85 (145) – B]
The staff told him all the data the test managed to gather from his overall performance, with the one on the right being his added maximum buff. As for the letter was the average marking compared with the other privileged acolytes, with S as the highest mark.
Apparently, Emery had a below-average human body, which honestly surprised him when he heard that. Fortunately, he had the A rank battle art [Immortal Gate] and above-average bloodline that compensated for his shortcomings and even brought it to another level altogether.
The battle art, in particular, provided an all-around upgrade to all three stats: muscle power (strength), muscle flexibility (agility) and (endurance), which increased skin, flesh and bone density. The latter also improved the stamina one had and the body's regeneration capability from injuries.
On the other hand, Emery's [Fey Transformation] increased his strength explosively and also improved his agility to some degree. Unfortunately, the ability gave almost no increase in endurance, hence his attempt ended when he received too many injuries.
"Our advice is to improve the physique of your normal body by going through various kinds of training. In particular, we strongly advise endurance training. We, unfortunately, have no solution for your bloodline in this facility, but we can tell you from this data the battle art you are currently using has some negative consequences on your body, especially when it is pushed to the next stage."
Emery showed a look of surprise, as he heard the staff member speaking and saw the data presented before him. It was a very thorough data and analysis with its own chart and numbers. They even recommended what to do to remedy their weakness and improve further.
Once again, this showed the benefits of being in a privileged facility that could only be enjoyed by very few people.
"Now, for your spirit test result."

[Spirit Force 904 – B]
[Spirit Power – A]
[Spirit Control – C]
[Spirit Pool – A]
"The double cores you have brought an excellent quality of spirit power and spirit pool, but as you are still a rank 8 acolyte, they still don't have the boost that a rank 9 acolyte has. Furthermore, your earlier performance and the data result showed that your control is below average than your peers, hence the reason you are unable to protect your mind efficiently during the test."
This kind of result certainly shocked Emery, as it was truly average when compared to the other acolytes. Him having C in Spirit Control meant he was probably the worst among his peers.
Emery actually thought he had good control of his spirit force. He hadn't realized it was this kind of bad.
"Can you elaborate about these three stats?" Emery asked, while pointing at the stats below Spirit Force.
"Naturally," the staff member replied with a smile.
Spirit Power was the maximum limit of power one could put into a spell, while Spirit Pool was how many times he could cast the spell within a specific instance.
Spirit Control, on the other hand, was the one who controlled the two. If one was not an expert, the end result would only achieve a mediocre result, while the resources used were highly inefficient and wasted.
As he heard the explanation, Emery was reminded of his past training with Magus Xion, the one with the leaves and the thunder mice.
The truth was, ever since he obtained his double cores, Emery hadn't been able to cast spells as easily as he was before. However, he didn't dwell on that matter, because the increase in power and the newfound ability to be able to cast spells many times more that came with the double cores had compensated for it.
But now, he realized his thought process back then was horribly wrong.
The staff then proceeded to show some diagrams that displayed the flow of spirit energy he used to defend himself from the spirit attack launched by those 'orbs'. Curiosity as well as eagerness appeared on his face, as he examined the diagrams.
Afterwards, Emery inquired about the spells he normally used. The staff was surprisingly knowledgeable enough to give an elaborate explanation of most spells he mentioned like [Shadow Edge], [Shadow Root], [Dark Matter] that he used often.
Apparently, all of those spells were considered channeling-type spells, which normally had lower requirements for control. As for his most frequently used spell [Blink], it only needed minimum spirit energy on its part, which had a small, if not xistent, margin of error for control.
Then suddenly, the staff member asked a question that made Emery think.
"You have a powerful battle art that enhances your physique and battle power. I wonder if you have any spell that can help you resist magic-based attacks? If you don't, then I suggest you get some, as they will tremendously help you defend against spirit attacks and, subsequently, increase your rank."
The staff member's words made Emery think of his [Fey Shaman Transformation] that gave him substantial improvement in spell power and magic resistance, which he didn't get the chance to use earlier.
Emery was about to answer, but it was also at this moment that Magus Ramona once again opened her mouth.
"Yes! He does!" Magus Ramora answered quickly, though she wasn't the one being asked. Turning to Emery, she said, "Didn't you have another transformation that can exactly do that? Why didn't you show it just now?"
Emery opened his mouth and was about to answer again, when Magus Ramona cut him off once more.
"Do you want to take the test one more time?"
