Waiting Area

I ignored the woman's statement and awaited her explanation.

"This orb is called the Core Grade Detector. As its name implies, it measures your Core Grade and exactly displays its image on its surface." She explained after sighing at the pointlessness of exerting energy in explaining something like this to me.

"This test is meant to reveal the state of your Core grade. Usually, potential students possess a large amount of the yellow color already dwelling in their Mana core, while a few others have completely Yellow Mana Cores."

"Ah… I see…" I muttered, looking at the orb for the second time. The white color it previously had began fading away as it regained its black look.

'It most likely reverts back to its original form after some time…'

I looked back at the examiner, but she had a peculiar expression, engaged in a thought of her own. Her face looked hesitant for a moment as she made a passing comment.
