More than a hundred of people gathered in Trinity compound that day, almost as many as the espers already part of Trinity itself. And that was only the ones who already passed the initial assessment; the first level.
But even only reaching that far was already considered achievement for some. After all, unlike guides, espers who joined a guild's open recruitment session were mostly fresh graduates. High-quality espers were usually being scouted instead of going through many layers of assessment levels.
Arlo was one of those rookies. He didn't go to one of the esper's academies, but he had lessons from all of the espers in his clan, which was more than enough to grant him the first-floor trial success.
If it came to talent, Arlo had more than a decent potential. After all, he came from an old lineage of a loyal vassal to the House Ishtera. Unfortunately, the talented boy soon grew dissatisfied with the objective of his training.
