《The Man Kicked By the God》Tenth Kick - Taking the First Step
Advertisement
How should I react the news? This time ,however, I really don’t know whether laugh or cry. I mean having a sister was fun. Well, having sibling is fun I think. But that was a bit shocking. Things will found their way, I suppose. I’m happy, though. Last life I was blessed with a very good sister. I hope things will go like that, too. But I should congratulate my parents. I wasn’t aware they are on work at nights.
“Hehe, when will she born?” – Micha
“6 month later.” – Magnolia
Just after my Triage, eh? Whatever, I’d better look after her too. Hmm, should I grind my skills or Charisma and Luck a bit more? Since its better to train then being lazy. I mean having stats is better. And with that way I may bypass another checkpoint, 250 on all points Juvenile restrictions. Well, do you know anything more specific, mate?
“Hmm, a bit more. As far as I know, having a skill related a job tree let you join that skill tree easily. I mean if someone is in your situation he or she will directly able to choose class he/she wants. Affinities a bit tricky though you gonna acquire every affinity. Well there are tons of affinities you don’t know yet. I mean you only know material also known as elemental affinities. Although they too, counted as magic affinities you’ve yet to acquire enough knowledge about other affinities. Well they’re really hard to learn, but you will get them soon enough.” – Metatron
Seriously, what? Besides four main elements there are still affinities? What kind of?!
“Like Nature etc. Actually, I’m a bit surprised you didn’t able to pick up hint your mom gave, partner.” – Metatron
Ah now you mention it I remember she said something like Nature Magician or something. But you should understand I was almost dead a few moments ago, mate.
“I’m telling you tons of affinities ,partner. Well, Triage only identify Material affinities so if you want to show Magic affinities you need to undergo Wizarda. Well, work hard and break another restriction, partner.” – Metatron
Well, well okay mate. How will I able to gain elemental masteries though?

“They will be probably easiest skills you’ve earn. Just undergo Triage and boom, you got masteries as well as title, partner.” – Metatron
At long last, easy gain! How did I miss that thing? Whatever, I should begin my closed door training. Not like I will be able to go out anyways. For months later there shall be show!
While immersing myself to grinding I’ve not even able to figure out time. The day for Triage has come! My parents acting a bit worried. Well, mom is pregnant and blow up fuse early sometimes but there shouldn’t be a problem about her. They are probably worried about me. But today, they have no idea their first child will wrote history. My parents bring me fancy looking clothes. Fufu, with my
Charisma and with these clothes, I’m probably quite striking. Well, opening door shocked me, thoug. There is a carriage waiting for us. I don’t know why but carriage master act way too respectful towards my parents. After we left house I was quite immersed with looking and familiarizing myself with town. It’s actually quite big. Waaay bigger then I’ve thought. While most of streets looks like they’re from 16th century and oozing with nostalgia, a place totally looks like Oxford college piques my interest. There are a few carriages and way too peoples who are going inside. What is this? There a show I don’t know?
“A show called Triage will be layout here, partner.” – Metatron
What, Triage is a show?
“In a sense, yes. I mean, auras with eye-catching colors is something everybody wants to see. As well as show off time for aristocratic families. Intimidating their opponents with affinities of their child. They’re underlying schemes for Triage, partner.” – Metatron
I’d better get top spot then. Not I like I won’t be able get it anyways, right?
“Since Triage don’t involve showing stats, there shouldn’t be a problem, partner.” – Metatron
Well, brimming with confidence I enter through a corridor. My parents looking at me with teary eyes. Mom and dad hugs me.
“Crush ‘em, sonny. Honey, could you imagine what if our child has all four elemental affinities? In that case I’ll bring son a really good gift.“ – Hohen

“Well, while its impossible, if that happens than this Triage will be a true show for us. Anyways, go show them what you got. We’ll proud of you no matter what happens, my cute angel.” – Magnolia
You have really no idea what is going on. But as far as I can tell, I’ll have a really good gift.
“I’ll do my best. Mom, dad don’t worry!” – Micha
I’ve walk through corridor and enter a hall. There is too much children around here. And what is this tribune? Will they watch us? Eh, whatever. By the way an old person who looks like teacher give me a tag with 47 written on it. I guess that’s my number in row. For first step of Triage each children should find out their respective job tree. But I wonder how will they decide this? Hmm, girls to boys ratio almost same as far as I can tell. 24 boys to 23 girls. But one particular looking girl caught by my gazes. With bright red hair as well as green eyes she is my nemesis! Well, I may forgot to mention but I am totally sucker for redheads and she nails it. You could say my gaze locked on her and somehow she felt this. She comes to with proud look and says.
“Hmpf you commoner, who do you think you’re looking for?” - ?????
“Well, obviously you.”- Micha
“You don’t even know about me? I’m Elise Mane from Mane household.” – Elise
“I’m Micha Gladio, nice to meet you!” – Micha
Using formal way is better than using Identify, after all. But she is still a bit disappointed though.
“Even though you’re a commoner as well as have no elements judging by your hair and eye colors you still come to Triage? You’ll be disappointing your parents. Anyway don’t think you can talk with me who definitely has at least 2 elements.” – Elise
“You should mind your own business.” – Micha
What is this eye-hair color thing, mate? Didn’t you say its random?
“Well, I told you depends on circumstances. If you have no elemental affinity at moment you’ve born then its normally random. But if you have, then things get changed.” – Metatron
Well, I guess having same, grey, color for my eyes and hair makes me non-elemental?
“Some people judge like that, partner.” – Metatron
It’s time to shut that little girl then. Although I like redheads, I don’t like brats acting high and might, besides myself.
Finally, time for judging. Starting with number 1, one by one, people called in a stage. At first I didn’t figure out what they will do but, old teacher looking person pull out a hat and put #1’s head. Slowly an image looks like sword emerged. Old guy shouted loudly; “Martial Job Tree!” . What is this, Harry P*tter?! And what’s wrong with this hats design. It’s just look like a police hat!? God, you’re really making this into a playground. Well, one by one people called. ‘Till Elise called all of 22 people went to Martial Job Tree. While Elise judging by hat, an image looking like Flame emerged. This time old guy happily announced; “Magic Job Tree!”. I guess mages is a bit rare in this world.
Until queue reached me total of 46 people already judged. Besides Elise, 2 more girls managed to become mage. Besides Elise, they are not acting arrogant, actually. Hmpf, it’s my time to shine! I walk through stage and wait for old guy to put hat to my head. I’ve felt like someone inspecting me with pure mana. It’s probably magic hats ability. While my mana and body judged an image starting to become visible. At first it looked like sword than fire covered sword. Although I can’t see old guys face I’d bet he is shocked. Well, I’m assuming like that because most of crowds jaws dropped to floor. I glanced to my parents and I saw their eyes are glittering. After a moment, of silence oldy announced with shocked voice; “Magic-Martial Job Tree!”
