Blood Evolution System Chapter 36

"Here's the equipment you requested," Alex said after entering booth number six.
"Just place it on the table," the examiner said as she looked at Alex.
"All right!" Alex returned to the huge stadium in a few minutes after placing the ball on the table.
Leilani passed the first assessment with flying marks once she injected magic power into the better version of the energy affinity crystal. Her sensitivity to energy was grade 16.
Her potential matched the potential of the youngest son of the great Walken family. Leilani and Felix Walken were the only two amongst the thousands of candidates that needed to use an intermediate grade energy affinity crystal ball as their sensitivity to energy far surpassed others.
"Hey, I am here," John said while waving his hand.
"Coming."
"Having you been waiting for me?" Leilani said after walking up to him.
"Yeah, it has only been a few minutes though," John said. "Tell me how did you do?"
"Pretty good," Leilani replied. "Tell me about yourself."
"Pretty bad, but I managed to pass. Anyway, should we wait for him or go ahead?"
"He told me to not wait for him."
"Sure, let's head towards the lobby," John said as he walked towards the cloud tower with his sister.
A few minutes later, Leilani and John reached the lobby. They sat on the sofas placed around a round glass coffee table. The lobby was extremely large and it could house around a maximum of five hundred people. A lot of people who passed the first assessment were already seated in place here, and multiple droids were serving refreshments to each one of them.
Naturally, John called one to be served something fresh as he hasn't eaten anything since last night. Adding on the nervousness that seeped into every fiber of his being during the test, he was feeling completely famished. Only after eating a lot of good stuff for free did he feel happiness enriching his heart and warmness filling his stomach.

"How long do we have to wait here?" Felix Walken asked with a nasty frown.
A droid answered his question.
"Until everyone outside gets tested."
"How can those commoners dare to make a royalty like me wait?!! They are needed to be taught a lesson!" He exclaimed arrogantly for everyone in the lobby to hear.
Nobody dared to look in his direction as he was a descendant of the Walken family.
The Walken family is a part of the four great families. In the past, there were six royal families and each mastered a distinct elemental ability. They were called the elemental royal families. However, these elemental families merged into one big family and became powerful enough to earn the title of the fourth great royal family.
The Great Royal Walken family was comprised of six royal families, namely, Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, and Darkness. At any time, the Walken family has six elemental lords, six saintesses, and one family head. The family is ruled by Felix's father, the family head. The six elemental lords act as juries. These six lords each cultivate a saintess who becomes the wife of the Walken family head.
As per the oath that was taken during the merging of the six families, Felix's father married a saintess from all six royal families and made babies with them. After all, that was the only way to keep matters stable and the families merged.
Though the current Walken family head loved the saintess of fire the most. Felix was her youngest child. He was spoiled from a young age as he was the youngest and most beloved child of the first wife of the head of the Walken family.
He was kicked out of the main family planet and transported to Earth as the head of the family could no longer overlook his misdeeds. Walken loved his wife, but he cherished the position of the family head even more. The six elemental lords have bounded together and lodged a complaint against Felix. Coerced into a corner by the main powerhouses of the family, the family head decided to discard this child of his to safeguard his position.

Felix was told that he is being sent here to be trained by a friend of his father, but he would've never thought that he'll have to pass the time-consuming assessment first. Worst of all, he now needed to wait in this cramped place because of some lazy bumps.
Most of the lazy bumps were shedding tears of sadness and sorrow.
After more than four hundred students failed within an hour or so, the atmosphere seemed to be tinged with a feeling of nervousness. The rate of failure signified that the passing rate for the first round of examination was too low.
"My turn has finally arrived. It wasn't easy to stand in this chilling cold for more than an hour," Vincent said, stepping inside the booth.
‹ A new mission has been initiated ›
‹ Task: Pass the assessment test ›
‹ Reward: +3 body constitution stat ›
‹ The owner will gain additional reward for an above-average assessment grade ›
Just as he entered the booth, a few notifications popped up in front of him.
'So I will earn extra awards if I get a grade better than the passing marks. Nice!' Vincent thought as he jovially walked up to the table.
"Inject your magic power into the crystal ball and it'll reveal your grade," the examiner said as she rubbed her tired eyes. She has been repeating the same dialogue for the past few hours and it has taken a toll on her.
Vincent followed her instructions and injected his magic power into the crystal ball. After a momentary delay, five clouds and two twinkling speckles appeared inside the crystal ball.
"Your energy sensitivity grade is 5.2, it's pretty nice considering your young age," the examiner said.
At the same time, Vincent received a mission clear notice.
‹ Mission has been completed ›
‹ You've been rewarded with +3 body constitution stats ›
‹ You've passed the assessment with an above-average score ›
‹ Additional stat point will be awarded ›
‹ Your body constitution has increased to 46 points ›
The examiner sends him off to the cloud tower after explaining the uses of magic power sensitivity.
"I believe that sensitivity to energy is also directly related to a person's body constitution. Am I right?" Vincent internally said to Blood.
‹ It is as you concluded. The owner can increase your sensitivity to magic power by improving your body conditions ›
Vincent was feeling pretty good. After all, he could increase his sensitivity to magic power by using attribute points to improve the state of his body constitutions. The same can be done by consuming the blood of beasts.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
