It’s here!
It’s here!
The magical device you know?!
Well, it doesn’t really look special at all. It is just a clear crystal ball set up on a pedestal. After that, it was transferred to a closed room.
It is a dark empty room.
Violetta said that since that this magical device will disperse the void particles then suck it, it would only just the person themselves to remove it to avoid the particles from drifting outside.
“Performing the removal is simply just the touching the magical device and wait for it to gather inside the device. After that, you may feel a little light headedness because of explosion of magic power inside you or sudden manifestation of your soul weapon. Well, I said it before but, some mutation may happen too because of it. Also, after the magical device absorbs the void particles, it will indicate the given information about the blessing that you have and more. So, are you guys ready?”
“YES!”
With an affirmation from Violetta's question, everyone readied. We decided by draw lots.
.

I never thought that I would be the first one. Violetta approached me and whispered in my ear:
“Asagao, about the matter of you using magic, I didn’t say a word about it. I don’t even have any idea how, but as an assurance, we want you to go through this too. Please take this too.”
She handed a bottle with some vial to it.
“It’s a potion can cure dizziness in an instant, this is only for you, okay?”
“Un, Thank you Big Sis Violetta!”
I nod cheerfully and hid the vial. She smiled warmly at my response.
I entered the room. The magical device is in there, glowing. Since the entire room is dark, the light coming out from the magical device scattered that it look like I am in outer space.
Not that I actually know what outer space looks like.
I approach the device and gently reached out my hand to it until my palm landed to the device. It started glowing. It was glowing fiercely and it’s like the light inside it is spinning.
After that, it stopped. Words made out of light floated in the air. I was really thinking like something grand would happen but, is it this simple?
In the empty space, there is something written,
Race:
Transcendental Being
Power Classifications:
Divine (Very High)
Magic (Average)
Spiritual (Low)
Will (Low)
Ancient (Low)
Mystic (Low)
Soul Weapon (None)
Blessings:
None
Eh?
I didn’t felt the dizziness.
I didn’t feel any magical power suddenly gushing out of my body.
No, it is more likely that my magical power is already there.
Is that all?
No, I don’t think I understand any of it written there. I tried to read it again.
AH!
It’s gone!
I think my turn is already up too!

I am kind of confused. What should I say to Violetta-san?
For now, I exited the room. Everyone was there waiting.
They saw me and gathered around me. It feels like a people asking for questions from you about the exam. Violetta and the big brother Fon approaches.
“Asagao, How did it go? Have you read what kind of power do you have?”
“Sorry sorry big sis Violetta, I didn’t understand any of it.”
Fundamentally, I don’t know any of it. Violetta looks at King Fon.
King Fon just nodded in acceptance. I really don’t know how they communicate with just eye-contact.
“We don’t have all day so please, the next one should step inside”
Was shouted by Violetta.
After that, everyone entered one by one. I just thought what mutation was Violetta nee-chan was talking about.
.

UNFAIR!
REALLY UNFAIR!!
WHY!?
WHY ALL OF THEM ARE DIFFERENT FROM ME!?
Ichirou was able to gain Five Soul Weapon. It was all swords. One is a standard sword with a double edge with some cool looking scriptures to its middle of the blade. Another is katana, another one is a Rapier, another one is a giant sword, last was a cool buster sword! Every sword has the same motif. A really hero like. His race is human so nothing changed. It just that his blessing is “Blessed Hero”
Mana –san also got a soul weapon and her race is still human! She got three soul weapon and they looks so…lethal I think. One was a retractable whip sword. One is a pair chakram with many sharp teeth. The last was axe, a huge axe with glossy red design that it looks like a weapon straight out from a horror movie.
Shun is also a human. He doesn't have soul weapon but he can generally be a master of magic compounding because he receives equal power on each power classification.
Kouta is still a human and got one soul weapon and it is a knuckle. But his magic is still there. Generally, he is a variant that Violetta spoke of one time. He was able to use a soul weapon and at the same time, magic. Although I think it would simply go to body enhancement magic.
Baccara… became more sexier. Her race became a demon. Her healthy toned skin became suddenly really pale, there are horns sprouting from the side of her head, her pupils are bewitchingly yellow. When she came out of the room, of course everyone was baffled. It is a like a form of a female demon lord in my mind. Out of all the heroes here, she receives a really large amount of magical power but lacks combat capabilities.
Mito became something cool, though. His race becomes a dragon. His pupils are sharp and there are scales under his jaw. There are parts of him that are covered in scales. He has dragon wing and tail sprouting from behind. It was well matched with his appearance. He specializes in ancient magic.
Teacher Rose becomes a fairykin. There are green transparent wings sprouting from her back. She kind of looked like a beautiful goddess for a moment there. Her hair was now mixed with green streaks. She became proficient in healing magic.
You could hear Mito saying
“D-don’t think so high of yourself even if you become b-b-beautiful like that.”
Dreg became a more menacing. His ears are pointy but not on a level of being an elf. He was a dwarf. But unlike dwarves that anyone thinks of. He is really large. Violetta nee-chan said that the king of the dwarves exceeds Dreg’s height so this much is normal. How normal would this be? He became physically stronger yet again. His magic is all about body enhancement.
Ruri as expected turned into a race of beast. Black cat, no panther ears and black panther tail sprouts from her. She seemed to have heightened instinct and huge physical prowess. Her magic is body enhancement too.
The twins become a set of elves. Is it me or Shouta became lovelier even though he is a man. They both have long pointy ears and emerald eyes. They became spirit magicians.
All of them has something called "Heroic Blessing."
But there are two people who defied the norm.
Priscilla stayed human. But the air around her is different. More like to say, very heavy.
GEH!
She learned Arcana Magic?!
Are you serious?!
Her magic power may not reach Bacarra in terms of quantity but the quality of her magic is dead serious, even though no one knows what can arcana magic can do.
Violetta was smiling funnily. Is something wrong?!
Her blessing is different. It is “Liberator of the Battlefield” are you serious right now?!
Here comes the other oddball, Susanoo.
His race stayed human, is what he said.
But like Priscilla, the air around him became scary. He also uses arcana magic. His magic is lower than Priscilla but, he receives a boost in his physical prowess.
His blessings? There are two. “Reaper” and “Protector” None of us have any idea about the two contradicting blessings like “Reaper” and “Protector”
It seems people who are indifferent to the problem of this world get the better end of the stick. Although they seemed really twisted.

After that, a party was held in the castle hall. All of us wear fancy dresses you know?
The party was about introducing the heroes. Variety of people came like nobles and high class merchants.
There are also knights with high standing in the castle, although I don’t know any of them since I only stick to the royal guards, Milin or the other heroes.
But upon my introduction, King Fon declared that I am his long lost little sister. All of the guests are buying that lie of a announcement.
Wait, is it really this easy to announce an adoption?
This is not even announcement for adoption but lying to the en masse. Well, there is no room for doubts anyway for them as we look so similar to each other.
Ah, the cheers are louder in my introduction than of the heroes. I feel like shying away but I have to hold out.
"Princess Asagao! This is my son-!”
“Please to meet you Princess Asagao! I am-!”
“Princess Asagao! Are you interested in-!”
So on and so forth. Why are you flocking at a child like me?!
I am really troubled you know!
They are wooing me with stuff from left to right too.
I hate this, they are flocking me with greedy and malicious smiles.
“Hey ya basterds! Stop flocking in here! You are blocking my way you blistering idiots!”
Mito!
You are so cool right now!
They were scared at Mito's intimidating sharp eyes. He also has this red shiny scales under his jaw.
He acts so evilly, but I know myself he is a nice person!
“Mito! Thank you!”
I smiled at him, he gets flustered easily you know.
Heh!
Easy guy. I think I kind of know why Teacher Rose loves teasing him.
“Y-yeah, I just I really don’t like piece of trash like them..eh… getting close…to..you know…to Asagao.”
“Hehehe, Mito, let’s dance!”
“Well, fine. I am only doing this because I want to do some exercise you know!”
Then everyone from the hero group dances with me. Edelweiss and Lily also dances with me but Violetta said “I don’t want to step on little Asagao’ s feet”
The day ended happily.
