The unawakened students went up to the front of the class after instructor Veronica announced their name, them ready to find out whether or not they have supernatural cells inhabiting their bloodstream and also to know what type of abilities they can use.

The cell detector device measured the amount of the supernatural cells of each student and also the type of ability they can wield after they passed through it. The blue crystal ball on top of the device showcased the amount of the supernatural cells in the student's bloodstream as dots appeared in it.

Similar in shape and size but of distinct colors, the dots dotting the blue crystal ball represented many supernatural cells. Most of the students didn't have it in their blood. Some of the students contained one to three types of supernatural cells in their bodies, all slumbering, never once aroused.

Similarly, the dark crystal ball next to the blue one represented the ability the students can wield. Most of them heavily leaned on the elemental side, some happened to fall between healing and similar type of abilities, and only a few out of the many students had a chance to awaken an extraordinary power.

Iris's turn soon came up, and once she passed through the gate, the eyes of the students widened like saucers with their jaws threatening to drop low to touch the ground as they witnessed her results showcased on the crystal ball.

[Name: Iris Twilight.

Supernatural Cells Level: High-level

Ability Affinities: Life Nurturing.]

Veronica Wrath has wandered across many worlds as she was not only a young queen of a small world but also married into one of the four great royal families, so she has seen many talented youngsters and even more so of the truly powerful combatants standing at the very peak of the Earth Federation, yet she felt surprised seeing Iris's results, so surprised that she didn't utter a single word for a while.

"Um, miss, are you going to announce my results and tell me what to do to arouse the cells inhabiting my bloodstream?" Iris said in a sweet voice, looking at the instructor.

"Ah, yes! You have a ninety percent chance to awaken the nurturing ability. It's an ability not many have. Only seven, not counting you. This power allows a person to nurture life in any condition. Its main purpose is to make planets habitable for life by growing trees and stuff necessary to sustain life. Its secondary purpose is to hasten the growth of magic herbs, magic plants, and so on. That's all." Instructor Veronica said after snapping out of her daze.

"And what do I need to do to arouse these supernatural cells in me?" Iris asked, wondering why the instructor had still not told her what she told the others who came and got checked before her.

"I didn't tell you that?" Instructor Veronica asked without thinking, blinking her pretty eyes.

"You didn't," Iris said in a calm voice.

"To arouse one's supernatural cells, a person needs to do something opposite to the intention of their power. In your case, your power shall allow you to nurture life, so to awaken it, you'll need to destroy life." Veronica explained, not too slowly nor fastly, telling her what she needs to do to awaken.

"Huh? Instructor, does that mean I have to kill others?" Iris asked in a shocked and shaky voice, not wanting to believe that she needs to do cruel things to arouse her supernatural cells to awaken her posers.

"Yes. You can even awaken it by killing beasts, setting trees on fire, or even grass aflame." Veronica replied, not noticing the change in Iris's expressions.

"But I don't want to hurt anyone or anything," Iris said as she expressed the fact that she feels disgusted with the mere idea of harming a living or non-living being with a pitiful look on her face.

"Then, it'll be hard for you to arouse your supernatural cells and awaken. I advise you to do as I say as you'll become able to support and help more life after awakening your extraordinary powers." Instructor Veronica said, telling her that it would be for the best if she harms a few unnecessary life and awaken.

"I'll think about it. Can I go back to my seat?" Iris said, not at all interested in thinking about it.

"Yes, please," Veronica said, allowing her to return to her seat.

Nevis's name was what Veronica announced just after Iris left, forcing him to pass through the gate.

A few moments later, once the balls showed no signs of changing, instructor Veronica and the students understood that Nevis, this cool and handsome boy, is the cursed child!

"The rumors were true. The cursed child has no affinity with supernatural powers and is never going to awaken."

"Didn't the rumors also said it's a contagious disease?"

"Is it even safe to be near him? What happens if we catch his disease and lose our powers?"

The students chatted with each other, bad-mouthing Nevis in a voice loud enough for him and the instructor to hear.

Nevis's hands tightened into a fist as he felt angry and displeased at the words thrown at him, knowing full well that he was not contagious or even a cursed child. It was a god damn medical condition, prior knowledge of which not many have.

"Silence!" Instructor Veronica said in a stern and majestical voice, silencing the entire class in a moment.

She then turned to look at Nevis and said, "Nevis, you don't have any supernatural cells inhabiting your bloodstream, nor can you wield any type of abilities as your body cannot contain supernatural cells, so even eating monster's evolution materials wouldn't help you enter the awakening evolution process. It's regretful, but that's the truth."

"I already know. Not the first time am hearing this." Nevis Truemight said, head lowered in disappointment with cheeks and ears reddened in shame.

"I hope you don't give up on yourself as you can always aim to become better as a magic technique or a transcendental-grade combat technique user," Veronica said, hoping the best for him. It was surprising for Nevis to know that his instructor wasn't like the other instructor, who discriminate against him for bullshit rumors.

"I won't," Nevis said, his eyes burning with the determination to strive ahead always, even if the world is against him.

"Great," Veronica said with an amiable smile, motioning Nevis to go back to his seat.

[Name: Nevis.

Supernatural cells: null

Ability Affinity: null.]

An instant after Nevis turned around and started to head towards Peter and the others, instructor Veronica tapped away at the holographic keyboard on her table, upgrading details about Nevis in the database of the Earth Federation.

"Will the student Peter please come up and pass through the gate?"

Dozens of minutes later, once nearly all of the students had gotten the tests revealed by the instructor Veronica and were now sitting on their seats, talking with their friends, Peter's name got called out.

"Good luck!" Leila wished him well as Peter stepped out of his chair, walked to the front of the class, and passed through the device.

[Name: Peter.

Supernatural Cells Level: Extreme.

Ability Affinity: Life Force Recovery, Wound Healing, Shadow Travel.]

"What?! Extreme level?! And also affinities to some of the most extraordinary powers!!

"How… how can this be?!"

An instant after he passed through the gate, the crystal balls showcased his results, seeing which the student's eyes threatening to pop out of their sockets with their mouth agape. They gazed back and forth over Peter and his result lingering on the crystal balls with an expression of disbelief on their face.

Instructor Veronica also trembled as her eyes widened into complete circles.

"Instructor, is there something wrong?" Peter asked as he felt weirded out by this situation. Shouldn't everyone be happy with his result? He has a 100% chance of awakening without using evolution material. He can awaken abilities he hasn't heard the name of in his life. That was something to be happy about. Yet many, except for his girlfriend, sister, and Nevis, were acting shocked out of their wits.

What's wrong with them?

Are they jealous of me?

"Ahem!" Instructor Veronica cleared her throat out loud to regain her bearing before she began speaking, "There's a sure chance for you to awaken one out of two different extraordinary powers. Shadow Walker allows you to enter and travel through shadow, covering huge distances in a short time. Life Recovery allows you to heal the life force of others, healing and rejuvenating them. Wound Recovery is a nerfed version of Life Recovery."

Hearing her words of astonishment, a smile stretched across Peter's face as frenzied joy raced through his heart.

"Which one should I awaken?" Peter asked after he listened to her explaining about the special effects of the abilities he can potential obtain.

"Out of the three, Life Recovery is the best. I advise you to awaken it." Instructor Veronica replied, telling that healing a person's life force is far better than it seems.

"How do I arouse the Life Recovery Supernatural Cells in me and Awaken it?" Peter asked with a serious look on his face.

"As it's an ability that provides great relief to a person's body and soul, you'll need to undergo a great amount of pain to awaken it," Veronica said, looking at the young youth with smooth skin in front of her.

"Will the pain of awakening be enough?" Peter asked, wondering whether or not he can arouse Life Recovery Supernatural cells in his bloodstream after consuming the fruit of darkness.

"Theoretically, yes," Veronica replied with a smile.
