Chapter 46: A line of idiots.

"Please state the name that you want to be registered as in the competition," I asked the person standing in front of me.

I was working as a desk staff to register all the participants who wished to join the Moon Glitter competition. I was asked for help by Agata since they are short-staffed for the winter festival.

That's why I am doing this job as a desk staff and Rai is also helping me too. She Is managing another line of people and registering their names and information.

"Gordan------- I want to be registered as Gordan in the competition." Replied the young man in front of me.

I wrote his name down on a paper containing the list of names and other information of all the participating contestants.

After writing the name, I gripped the handle of the device and pointed it towards the person standing in front of me.

The device in my hand had a lens on the front end and a clear crystal on the back end of the device.

The purpose of this device is used to measure the size of a person's mana core.

{Author note: The device basically looks like a gun. Imagine an infrared thermometer for better visualization.}

"May I?" I asked before pointing the device towards the person standing in front of me.

I need to place this device over their chest to get an accurate measurement of their Mana core's size, and it gets pretty awkward since I am invading their personal space.

That's why I ask everyone for their permission before using this device on them to avoid getting arrested for sexual harassment.

Invading a stranger's personal space is not cool, so I make sure to ask their permission.

{Author: So, you can invade someone's personal space if you know them?}

"Sure." Said the young man.

Upon receiving his permission I placed the device over his chest. The clear crystal changed its color into a shade of dark blue.

"It's dark blue," I said to the person and also wrote this information down beside his name.

Upon receiving the information about his mana core, his face lit up. Well, I guess that's understandable since dark blue is considered above average.

The size of a person's mana is determined by the principle of the color spectrum.

Violet – Indigo – Blue – Green – Yellow – Orange – Red

Violet is the smallest and red being the largest.

"Next," I said calling the next person in the line.

"Please state the name that you want to be registered as in the competition," I asked the person in front of me.

"Samantha." Answered the girl in front of me.

Now comes the most difficult part... which is asking the girl for permission to use the device.

"Can I ---" before I can ask the permission, she interrupted me by saying:

"Yes, you can use the device on me." She said like she understood what I was going to ask.

Who is this girl? An angel?

I need more people like her…

After being done with her, I called the next person in the line.

"Please state the name that you want to be registered as-----" I said as looked up to the person standing in front of me. "---- ah, it's you," I said looking at the person in front of me, it was Rudi.

"What do you mean "Ah, it's you."!!!"

"I just meant that it's you. Never mind that I am writing you real in the register." I said as I wrote his real name on the list.

"Stay still," I said as I placed the mana core measuring device over his chest.

The crystal turned to dark blue.

"What a small fry!!" I laughed off looking at the color of the crystal.

"Shut up!! Dark blue is pretty good. It is good….. it is good….. it is good----- Grey, it is good right?" said as worry took over his brain.

I chuckled before answering "I was just messing with you. The size of your mana core is pretty good considering your age."

"Hehe, thank you!! I am not that great, you know." His facial expression changed drastically to the point where it looked like there was no worry on his face, to begin with.

"Now, get off my line and don't waste my time!!"

After filling in Rudi's information, I registered more people's information into the participant list.

"Please state the name that you want to be registered as----- oh, now it's you," I said to the person standing in front of the line. It was Phil standing in front of the line.

I continued "What name do you want to be registered as?" I asked him.

"People call me----- BLAZE CANON!!" he said covering his one eye and striking a weird-looking pose.

Who called you that? Seriously, who called you that? And what's with that pose?

"Good, I WILL write your name as blaze canon. If you wish to do so." I said as I wrote it down his name as Blaze Canon.

Yes, I seriously wrote his name as Blaze Canon.

After being done with him, I registered more people's names,s and then came Frank's turn.

He chose to register himself with his real name.

As I was going to place the device over his chest, he opened his mouth and said:

"Please be gentle with me."

What the---- what did he just say?

"Are you gay?" I asked.

"No."

"Then stand still and don't say weird things."

As I was going to place the device over his chest, I opened my mouth and said "Don't worry, I will be gentle with you." With a wink.

"Are you gay?" he asked.

"No." I denied.

"let's not say weird things like that again." He said hiding his embarrassment.

After being done with Frank, I further registered more people.

In my line, there weren't many girls since they preferred to be in line for Rai's desk and it was understandable since Rai is a girl as well.
