New Shackles But Also A Badge

"Talent...Excellent!" The examiner said, alternating his gaze between the pillar for espers and Jay.

The reason he was watching Jay so closely was because his use of energy was rather odd.

Normal would be a steady flow, which depending on the power of the esper would cause the speed and amount of veins in the pillar being filled to be different.

As to why that would be normal, it was because all espers had gradually gotten used to their innate abilities, giving them generally good control over their energy.

In contrast, Jay's evaluation had been rather spotty, it was almost as if he didn't know how to control his energy and was doing it purely on instinct, in fact, the examiner was sure that this was the case.

However, even with this, although there was undoubtedly an eye-catching show, Jay did not qualify for an Excellent score.

Then, why had the examiner said that Jay possessed Excellent grade talent when he didn't really qualify?
