Revelation and Shock [part 1]

"This time we will use quantum teleportation," said the nanny, "because, in addition to being a cheaper method to reach the main estate, the latter is quite close, which is why it is not worth using many resources and there will hardly be any security problems. However, despite this, it is better to be extremely cautious."

She took my hand and led me to the teleportation platform. I felt a mix of excitement and apprehension at the idea of teleporting, given that in my past life it was considered an impossible thing.

As I positioned myself on the smooth, metallic surface, the nanny activated the control panel and the device began to emit a slight hum.

"Remember," said the nanny, "during the teleportation process, you must remain completely still and focused. Any sudden movement could interfere with the molecular scan and cause problems during rematerialization."

I nodded, trying to calm my nerves. I felt a slight vibration as the system began the complete scan of my body. Every molecule and atom were precisely mapped, and I could perceive a strange tingling sensation as I was dematerialized.

The dematerialization process was quick but intense. I felt as if I had been broken down into millions of particles and transported through a space tunnel.

The sensation was indescribable, a combination of dizziness and lightness.

When I finally reached the destination, I felt a slight jolt as my body recomposed on the arrival platform.

The first thing I saw was the main estate. It was an imposing building, with tall towers and sturdy walls that extended for several hectares. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by its grandeur.

I remembered being born there, and I laughed thinking about how naive I had been to initially consider it just a simple Noble Family.

The reality was quite different: the estate was a real castle, with manicured gardens, sparkling fountains, and a series of annexed buildings that housed various laboratories and training rooms.

The main structure was built in white stone, with elaborate architectural details that reflected the antiquity and nobility of the family. The windows were tall and narrow, with stained glass that filtered the sunlight into a kaleidoscope of colors, while the doors were massive, decorated with golden inlays and arcane symbols that indicated the long history and traditions of the family.

As I approached the main entrance, I noticed the numerous crests and flags adorning the walls, each representing a victory or significant event in the family's history.

The nanny led me through the main entrance, and I was greeted by a large atrium with a vaulted ceiling and a shiny marble floor.

In the center of the atrium, there was a large staircase leading to the upper floors, and along the walls were portraits of the family's ancestors, each with a proud and determined look.

On the sides of the atrium, there were many other different secondary staircases leading to various parts of the estate.

The nanny took my hand and led me through one of these secondary staircases. We climbed several steps and passed through several rooms, which, however, turned out to be empty.

I wondered why this strangeness, trying to give myself an explanation.

"What is the purpose of these rooms? Perhaps they had been emptied to prepare for my arrival? Or maybe they were simply waiting to be used for some future purpose?"

Finally, we arrived at a specific room where we stopped.

The nanny looked at me with a smile and said:

"Welcome back to the main estate."

The room we were in was a fascinating mix of modern and ancient. The walls were covered with dark wood panels, decorated with intricate golden inlays that told stories of past eras.

However, in the center of the room, there was a modern machine that seemed out of place compared to this location.

The machine was an advanced device, with an elegant and futuristic structure.

It consisted of a circular base in shiny metal, with a series of runes engraved along the edges, which shone with an intense blue light, emanating an aura of ancient power.

While in the center of the machine, there was a crystal sphere that pulsed with energy.

"This is the affinity test machine," explained the nanny.

"It uses a rune-based system to analyze your vital parameters and soul activities, as well as determine your affinities with incredible precision. The technology used in this device is cutting-edge, combining elements of magic and science. It has already been checked and warmed up before your arrival, so it is ready to be used."

I positioned myself in the center of the circular platform, feeling a slight tremor of anticipation. The nanny activated the system and the runes began to shine more intensely, enveloping me in a bright light.

I felt a slight pressure as the system began the analysis.

As the light enveloped me, I could perceive a sensation of warmth and energy passing through my body.

It was as if every fiber of my being was being examined and evaluated.

"Don't worry, this is standard procedure. For the assessment to be successful, you should move as little as possible."

The nanny moved, monitoring the progress to ensure nothing went wrong.

If an incident were to occur, it would not be due to the machine. The machine has been tried and tested over countless years and operations, the only margin of error would be the operators.

It would have been easy to stop it if the machine had its artificial intelligence or at least an operating spirit, but that idea was discarded for several reasons, including the possibility that this confidential information could be discovered and leaked due to hacker attacks.

Meanwhile, I remained calm inside the machine.

I only hoped that everything would end soon because of the possible reactions that the family might have following some information that will come out after this investigation.

Then all the sounds ceased.

I found the empty whiteness inside relaxing, combined with the total silence.

Since it reminded me of the solitude of refinement, where the powerful are always destined to be alone.

Thus, the evaluation began in silence.

"Everything is going well and it will only take 10 minutes," said the nanny.
