“Alright, so there are some basic requirements to join. You are joining through the apprenticeship program, so you don’t need to take the combat test. But, we will need to take an official analysis of your current stats and criminal records. This should be helpful for you as well as you will be able to see your abilities like never before.”
They must have some kind of device that can use the Analyze ability. It won’t be anything new since we are able to use it ourselves but I’m worried how they’ll react to our title. An agent of a god is a powerful thing. I highly doubt it is something common. Plus Analyze. It says it’s rank A so it must be quite the rare skill. Especially since they need a device to use it. We must really be something. We’ll probably be applauded as-
“Sir? Are you paying attention? Would you like to get analyzed? Hellooooo.”
“Oh! Sorry. Yes please.” Stupid Wren. Stop inner monologuing so much.
“Alright, just stand still. It will take just a moment.” She held up a magnifying glass and stared at me for a second then wrote down what I’m assuming is my information. She then did the same for Javi and handed us the sheets. “There we go! You can view your stats. They’re not bad for untrained people like y’all.” Not bad huh.

That is more information than I expected. It now showed a second number by the one I saw before. A maximum limit I suppose. And of course, I still have no idea how good any number is. Not bad apparently. But only for an untrained person. Plus this includes a criminal record. Being brand new to the world I haven’t even had the time to commit a crime. And most interestingly, it didn’t show my title. Something blocked by the supervisor or something? Is Javi’s the same way?

Criminal Record: Jaywalking
When the fuck did he jaywalk? How? What? Was the record of him jaywalking just made automatically? He’s refusing to meet my eye. What the fuck man? You have some explaining to do later. For now I just wish I knew more about what all these stats actually did.
“Now do you have any questions about your status?”
How convenient. “Yes, I was actually wondering about what the numbers actually mean. Like how much is an increase of one representative of?”
“Well, there haven’t been any studies about the exacts of it. However as a frame of reference it is acknowledged that an untrained person will generally have no more than 50 points in any one stat. I know that isn’t much but I hope it’s helpful.”
“And the maximum is the second number right? Are our’s any good?” This was the most important part. Do we have potential?
“Oh yes, they are good. The highest maximum ever recorded on a stat was 200. So having multiple stats with limits in the high 100 range is quite impressive.” We’re impressive. Good. “So do we meet the requirements to join?” Surely jaywalking won’t get us kicked out right?
“Absolutely! All of your physical stats are at least 20 and you have the Analyze skill at rank A. That means you pass with flying colors!”
“At rank A? Are there multiple ranks to the Analyze skill?”
“Of course! Analyze is the most common skill that just about everybody has.” Great, and I thought we were special for that one. “You can have it at D, C, B, A, or S rank. You need at least a C rank to become an adventurer as that is the rank you gain the ability to analyze other creatures.”
“So what’s the difference between A and S? Is it just the maximum and the criminal record? Your device has an S rank Analyze right?”
“You are partially correct! This was given just what it needed. It is said the S rank Analyze can read into much much more but you’d have to ask somebody who has it to really know.”
“How rare is it?”
“Oh very rare! While A ranks like you are perhaps 1 in 100, S ranks are more like 1 in 10,000. We have around 20 people with A rank at this branch, but the only person I’ve ever met with an S rank Analyze is our local union head.” I'd like to meet them. And I need to know if the S rank Analyze will show our title. “Well that’s everything you need to take care of! Are you ready to join and be given the Adventurer class?”
Ready as we’ll ever be. “Let’s do it!”
“Alright! You’ll receive an alert much like Analyze soon offering you the class. Just click accept and you’ll be set!” She held her hand out towards us and the alert popped into my view.

Accept
Deny
I’ll accept of course. It won’t let me analyze the skills so I guess I have to have them before I can see what they really do.
As soon as I press the button I can feel myself change. My body gets light and easy to move, I feel like I’ve become an athlete all of a sudden. My brain clears up suddenly, like a fog has been lifted from it. It’s obvious where these changes came from. Looking over I can see that Javi is experiencing the same sensations as I am. Oddly, I feel like he looks a bit more handsome than before. Ah! Charisma. That’s what it-
“Everybody! Get to the warehouse!” Just then somebody busted in through the front door. The warehouse? That’s where Alicia is. “Alicia brought back the Steel Wolf King! She killed it!” It seems I might’ve been witness to something more spectacular than I had originally thought.
