Quinn took a deep breath and said.
"I don't have an ability."
Just like before the hooded man standing by her side handed her a book and then handed it to Quinn.
Quinn took the book off Jane at first but then suddenly, a notification screen appeared.
[Unable to learn this ability]
[Would you like to convert the book into 10 Exp?]
Quinn had somewhat expected the system to display the first message but the second one truly had surprised him. Quinn was really tempted to take the book and use it as a form of Exp but he knew there would be questions asked later on.
"I'm sorry but I don't want it," Quinn said as he handed the book back to Jane.
The students watching and the instructor stood there were both shocked. Jane hadn't experienced anything like this before. In her five years working as an instructor, it was the first time someone with no ability had rejected the book.
"Please give me one moment." Jane then stood away from the group of students far enough so they wouldn't be able to hear anything.
"Yes, Yes, he says he doesn't want the ability book what shall I do?" Jane said speaking on her earpiece.
"let him take the test." The mysterious man on the phone said.
As the man hung up, he couldn't help but think that Quinn was an interesting student. He started to look at Quinn's file and what he had said seemed to be true. The student had no ability and didn't seem to have any relations with the group Pure.
"Let's see how long you can survive in this cruel world Quinn." The man said.
Back at the testing field, Jane had finished the call with her superior and started to head back over to the group.
"Sorry for waiting, "Jane said. "Since you won't be taking the ability book, we will still require you to take the test please."
"Please follow me."
Jane then took Quinn a little further out onto the field where Quinn noticed that there were huge craters in the ground, burn marks, and all sorts of things. This was all done from the previous testing contestants.
"Please proceed to destroy the targets in front of you as quick as you can." Jane said, " the test will begin immediately."
As soon as Jane finished talking, three targets popped up around randomly around the wasteland. They were metal round targets with a red dot in the center.
The problem was when Quinn tried to look for the targets, everything seemed like a blur in the distance. Quinn then realized that his perfect eyesight, suddenly wasn't so perfect.
"Is this because I'm out in the sunlight?" Quinn thought.
Quinn had no choice but to slowly run-up to each of the targets and hit them with his fist one by one, his time was incredibly slow of course.
There were then two further tests that Quinn needed to complete. The next test was a strength test were Quinn was asked to punch into a huge drum-like machine. Quinn gave it his best shot and hit the drum as hard as he could. The drum vibrated and made a small sound eventually displaying a digital number in the center.
"5, strength," Jane said as she noted it down on her tablet.
When the final test had arrived they had brought out another machine. This machine was a big circular object with many holes on its front. Once the test started the machine fired holographic spikes at the contestants. All Quinn needed to do was avoid being hit by the spikes.
The machine went up in levels and eventually got faster and shot out more spikes, in the end, Quinn managed to get hit and the test was stopped.
"Agility, 5" Jane said once again as she noted it down on her tablet
Quinn had heard the words from Jane's mouth and it started to make him think if there was some sought a link to the score she had given him. The last test was a test of strength and Quinn had scored a 5, similar to his system which had stated he had 5 strength. Then once again this test focused on agility and scored a 5 which was the same as his system.
This meant if Quinn was to take the test at night all of his scores would have most likely doubled. This also meant as long as he leveled up he could always increase his score it was as if his ability was the ability to evolve but had some drawbacks with it as well.
"As expected." Jane said, "Unfortunately your current power level is a level 1."
"Hey brother sorry to disturb you but why didn't you took the ability book could you please tell." Rayne asked confused because according to him if they were given free ability why refuse but he still asked the question as unlike him Quinn seems to be more knowledgeable of this world.
Quinn looked at his brother as if he had asked the world dumbest question and now Quinn was becoming worried as he was thinking that the system he had gained had actually took all his brother intelligence but as a good brother he still answered "Well I didn't took the ability because to put it simply i don't want to be bond to the military that why I didn't took it."
After hearing it Rayne fully now understand what was happening it was like those movies made by old humanity about how the government was all bad and shady. While those beside him also eavesdrop their conversation to know the reason why he refused and hearing that they also understood his decision.
The test continued as Jane
Rayne without taking a deep breath replied.
"I don't have an ability and also could i like open the book and see it content."
Jane instantly replied "You could see its content only if you accept the ability book"
The hooded man from before again took a book and handed it to Jane who held it in hand as if could understand how he didn't actually want there ability but at the same time want it. After thinking for a while Rayne answered "I don't want it."
"You don't have to take the test we already know that you are a level 1 so you could walk back to the group." Jane said this because she could see that there was no reason to take the test as the boy seem to follow what his brother actually did so there was no reason to humiliate him so that he accept the ability book.
Quinn on hearing Jane reply was shocked as how his brother didn't actually needed to take the test.
What Jane didn't know was that due to some meta-physical phenomena she actually took the decision.
