As the week progressed, Hiro realized that him knowing his past life didn't really make that much of a difference. And that beside the novelty of this world and practicing swords, being a child is actually really boring. He can't leave his home. He can't strike things with a sword. He can't practice magic. He can't reach high places. Being a kid honestly sucked.

But that was soon to change! Because today was the day he could test his afinity! After his afinity is tested, he will practice his magic until he became 7, when he would go to the Five Stars School, a prestigious school of magic, which is obviously for nobles. He couldn't wait for the time where he could call thunders with a snap of his fingers, or making his skin as hard as steel while letting others attack him, laughing of the futile attempts. Or even summoning strong creatures to fight for him, as the King.

With his mind full of his future achievements, he reached the room where he would be tested, which was the same room he had his normal lessons. The only difference now is that there was a crystal ball in the teacher's desk, dull and grey. It was probably the device that would test his affinity. Standing in front of the desk, was the old man who was clearly an unimportant side character.

"Welcome, Young Master, please enter and stand in front of the measuring sphere." Said him gesturing to the crystal ball.

"Yes teacher." With a small smile in his face, he walked to the crystal ball.

"Put both of your hands in it and concentrate, the ball will gather your mana and project your results."

"Yes teacher."

Lifting his arms slowly, he gently put his hands in the ball. Immediately, the ball started to shine a little, looking as if the ball was actually white instead of a dull grey.

"That's it. Now concentrate."

Hiro didn't answer, he closed his eyes and concentrated. He could feel a foreign feeling invadind him. A suction force coming from his palms, sucking what he realized was mana. It came all the way from his heart to the palms of his hands. Slowly flowing, no, sucked into the crystal ball. He could sense the core of his mana, like 6 bright lights glowing in his heart, making the shape of a star if they were connected, a six point star.

But then he realized something was odd. While most of the mana was sucked into his palms and to the ball, one of them wasn't. The ball refused to absorb the mana and it went back into his palms and disrupted the mana flow from one of the lights in his heart. Making it so only five streams were absorbed. The ball started to shine brighter as he started actively trying to send his mana to it. And soon, the orb stopped sucking and he couldn't send more mana either. Then he opened his eyes and saw that the crystal orb was projecting the light into the wall in a set of text.

"Affinity Test Results:

Alteration (18)

Conjuration (16)

Destruction (34)

Illusion (9)

Restoration (38)

Total result: Poor

Mana quality: B

Final Rank: F"

Are you mocking This King?!

Hiro couldn't help become a little bit nervous at his results. He was supposed to be the main character that had cheat powers! This plot wasn't right. Isn't he supposed to be special? But as he was starting to despair, he was brought back to reality by his teacher's voice.

"I see, so that's your afinity. I will explain it. The number beside the magic branch's name is your afinity with that branch. There isn't a limit to how high it appears. A result of 0 means you can't use magic, and a result of 50 means you can use is the average. That means that you have no talent for magic. But you could at least try Destruction or Restoration magic, but you would still be worse than average. Perhaps Young Master should give up learning magic and focus on something else. For example, you could continue your sword lessons and be part of the army." He started explaining with a slightly mocking voice that hid a bit of derision in it. "Of course, the total result means all your afinities average being tested. 'Poor' is the worst possible result, with the best result being 'Extraordinary'. And the rank is your final evaluation. F is also the worst with the best being S. Mana quality is the density of your mana, it's also the only thing that can be trained, as affinity will not increase."

At the end of the long and boring info-dump the white-haired side character gave, Hiro remembered that if there were 5 affinities and he had 6 sources of light, that could only mean that as the main character, he had to have a new type of mana! Certainly, his future prospects are endless, after all, he is a reincarnated main character.

But as he thought the info-dump was over, the old man began talking again!

"As the core of the mana, the heart normally have sources of mana numbering from 1 to 6! One kind of source for each kind of magic and one extra for noble bloodlines! Noble bloodlines are indeed an incredible thing. It's a power passed in the blood of a family. Most families have them. But alas. The Fuji family doesn't have a bloodline anymore. It has long been forgotten, as the last four Patriarchs weren't born with 6 sources."

At that moment, Hiro's eyes shined bright. Here it is! This King's cheat! It isn't a new kind of magic but it's certainly an overpowered bloodline, This King's Fuji family is after all, the oldest noble family!

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had found his life-straw. After listening to the boring teacher speak a little more and subtly saying he should give up magic, he left to talk with his mother.

Reaching her room, he again found her reading calmly in her bed, looking serene. He quickly ran to her side smiling.

"What is it, dear? How was your test?" She asked amused with how excited he was. His answer, however, shocked her a little.

"I have it mom! I have the sixth source of mana! I have our family's bloodline!" His little body was jumping excitedly while speaking, but then he stopped and thinked a little before asking a very important question. "What is our family's bloodline?"

His question woke her mother from her shock and she smiled brightly, happy for her son. "Our family bloodline is a bit simple. It's called Bloodmana. We can use our blood as super dense liquid mana. It isn't really that powerful, it's mostly a support ability."

And as he heard that, Hiro despaired again.

How can it be this useless to This King?!
