Chapter 10: Signing up for a Match Test

"What are you talking about? Of course, you need to match with the best! Don't care about that scumbag anymore!"

"Of course, I'm not caring about that scum anymore." He doesn't even want to think about him anymore because just thinking about him makes him angry.

"That's good! I know you are not yet okay.

I will leave you here to sort out your thoughts and feelings.

I'm going to look for high-level sentinels for you," Lyre said.

Knowing that his friend still needs time to be alone, what he needs to do is not comfort him but look for high-level sentinels to help Ryzel.

After Lyre went out, Ryzel was left alone again, staring into space.

'mi'

He came out of his wandering thoughts because his arms were nudged by Liya, his quantum beast, which suddenly appeared.

"Why did you suddenly come out, Liya? "Ryzel asked because Liya rarely appeared unless his assistance was needed.

'mi'

"Of course, I'm not okay."

'mi'

"It's nothing. It will be gone in no time; I will be okay," Ryzel said, caressing the head of Liya.

"It is really rare for you to be worried about me. Thanks, Liya! With you guys on my side, I will be okay," Ryzel said with a faint smile on his face.

Liya was his quantum beast that looked like a cat.

A quantum beast is the manifestation of a guide and a sentinel mental power.

When a person awakens as a guide or sentinel, the quantum beast will also manifest.

The quantum beasts can enhance the guides mental power for guiding, while it can enhance the combat power of sentinels. For the quantum beasts of sentinels, they can also fight on their own.

Only guides and sentinels can see the appearance of other quantum beasts. That's why there is also a law that prohibits using quantum beasts in a public area.

The rumors of the cancellation of their marriage were already flying around the academy.

He and Sean were very popular in school; that's why everyone already knew what happened.

Sean was famous for being a role model for guides, and Ryzel was famous for his beautiful looks. 

Most of the people who heard the event for the first time disapproved of the sudden cancellation of Ryzel's marriage, saying that it was too much, but as soon as they heard that the match between Sean and Dwight was as high as eighty-one percent (81%), they immediately said that Sean and Dwight should really get married.

Most of the people agreed that, with such a high matching rate, they should really be the ones getting married. 

They indeed feel sorry for Ryzel, but a match rate as high as eighty-one percent (81%) is really rare, so they can't say anything about the match between Sean and Dwight. 

Only a few people who saw that Sean and Dwight were already very close before even the cancellation of the wedding of Ryzel and Dwight felt really sorry for Ryzel and angry for his sake. 

Knowing that Ryzel's birthday was just a month away, Lyle was busy looking for a partner for him. 

Most of the high-level sentinels at school who still don't have a guide and heard about the circumstances of Ryzel were willing to try and have a match with him. 

Knowing that most high-level sentinels were willing to do a match test, Lyre posted a link for all of them to sign up. 

Lyre was responsible for all the filtering and listing of sentinels for Ryzel. 

When Lyre opened a list for an interview before doing a match in the system, most of the high-level sentinels at the academy signed up for it. 

"Wow! Ryzel, you are really popular; look at the number of high-level sentinels who wrote their names on the list. It's already two pages! "Lyre exclaimed.

"I told you not to bother doing anything like an interview as long as they agreed to do a compatibility test first.

You can hold as many interviews as you want as long as they pass the compatibility test first," Ryzel said, looking at Lyre, who was happily lounging around his sofa while looking at his light brain.

"Ok, seeing a lot of high-level sentinels on this list, my decision to post for an enlistment is really good. 

I agree to hold the interviews later when the compatibility results are out." 

Lyre agreed to Ryzel only because a lot of high-level sentinels signed up for it. 

If there is only one of the two-page lists, Lyre really planned to interview all of them first. 

"So, when should we conduct the matching test? "Lyre asked.

"You set the deadline for signing up until tomorrow, right? "

"Yes, I'm sure everyone already saw it. I still put it up until tomorrow to give everyone enough time." 

"Okay, then we are going to have a compatibility test the day after tomorrow."

"Ok, I'll ask everyone's permission later on, after I get the complete list."

Doing a compatibility test is actually very easy.

The testing center would get a drop of your blood and a reading sample of your recent mental power.

The compatibility system would be the one responsible for scanning and giving the results.

The guide and the sentinel who applied for the compatibility test just needed to wait for thirty (30) minutes, and then the result would be sent directly to their light brain.

For the compatibility test, Ryzel just needs to give a drop of his blood and do a mental reading once, and then it will be matched with all the sentinels who came for the testing.
