My real phisique isn't reflected in the status?!
Ivan stared disbelievingly at the result, blinking repeatedly to see if the blasted ball somehow made a mistake, but no. No matter how much he blinked and denied the reality, his status stayed the same.
And what was going on with those evenly distributed attributes? He had 15 from RES to WIS! Jack of a trade master of nothing? But he felt he was more suited to be a warrior, an athletic and powerful build, just like Andre! Were those long-hour of soccer games meant nothing?!
And he was not a II-class citizen! Based on how ugly the bitch's face was right now, he assumed that smaller number meant a higher nobility status. Based on this assumption, then those two who received II-class citizenship must be "nobles" and he, a III-class citizen, must be a commoner.
Then I-class citizen must be a royal.
...but why him?
Why the ball rated him differently?! He had no active skills, no talent, and no spells! And his job was unidentified! It was as if the orb was mocking him despite his effort to stay fit, as if the total length he accumulated while running in the field was for naught, as if the sweat and fatigue from the plays weren't enough!
Damn it all!

"Hey, is it normal to have a balanced attributes like that?" someone in the crowd asked out loud.
"No, it's abnormal," answered a random guard nearby. "Our attributes are usually corresponding to our abilities. For instance you'd have a high STR if you constantly train yourself physically, but if you do nothing while you still can... the result won't end well. Maximum attribute I've seen is 25 and the lowest is 10."

"But that boy looks like he's doing laps daily, but why everything is average?" another one asked.
"...I've heard cases of wrong analysis from my friend, but it's very, very rare. It's roughly 1 in a million cases. Maybe this is the answer. It's truly unfortunate to see this happened to a summoned hero..."
The man trailed off for a while, then continued.
"As they say, the first impression is important, and so does the starter attributes. They determine the limit of your growth and the higher the starting attributes, the higher the limit. You won't live a smooth life by having such mediocre starting attributes. At best you'll be working in a store."
"But can't they be changed?"
"No, you can't. I'm not judging why you don't understand this basic information, but I'll tell you this. Once you are appraised, there's no way to do that again. Even if you can, it will display the same information on the next appraisal. This is why I mentioned 'first impression is important' as you can't change it later on."

"By the Mashiach, what is this?" here came the snake. Her voice was deeply concerned, yet those eyes of her spoke otherwise. The light in her eyes were predatory and full of deceit, unfit for someone who said she served her Deity.
"A third class citizen. Oh, my! I never thought a brave person such as you would be a mere commoner. And look at this! Oh, my... such a barren status... and unidentified job?"
Adit snickered behind Ivan.
The High Priestess shook her head in a fake sympathy, "This is so sad. For a summoned hero to have such status... we cannot let you fight. You have nothing. No active skills, no spells, and no talents--except this one passive skill. Has anyone ever heard of passive skill >?"

No one answered.
"But of course no one has ever heard of it," she tilted her head slightly, "I, too, have not heard about it. But let us have a look at it better..."
She tapped at it to reveal a window containing a more detailed information about the passive skill. It read...

"Not even our almighty Mashiach understand the meaning. Then, doesn't that mean you obtained the skill from someone else?" she asked sweetly, putting emphasis on the 'someone else'.
At that time, Ivan didn't know that being accused of receiving skill from another Deity while in the presence of the believer of the Mashiach was a certain ticket to hell.
