First Known Ability

"Ugh, why did that gas work on me? All that training was useless..." I said all groggy as I opened my eyes to reveal a sliver room with a table and 3 chairs 2 on one side and the last on the other. I didn't even have time to think before someone walked through the door. It was a tall ordinary looking man just slightly more on the athletic side with short hair on the side and slightly longer on top. Another person walks in behind him, a tall slender woman with long jet black hair and red lipstick and slight makeup on. If I were a regular teenage boy I would be drooling over her right now.

"You're awake a lot earlier than expected. But that doesn't matter, please, take a seat. We have a couple questions we would like to ask you." the man motioned towards the empty seat.

I stare at them closely and activate weakness sensing.

"Cannot find any weaknesses level too low" the system message popped up slightly disappointed in it.

"Okay" I say, making sure to evaluate every option I can get. Can I fight them and manage to get past this door? No, who knows I may be deep inside some prison.

As the two take a seat they both stare at me closely, noticing that I am currently showing no change of emotion whatsoever.

"This is Ms. Star, she has an ability to detect a lie, all you have to do is tell the truth son. Now please place your hands on the table."

I do as I am told and I place my hands on the table. 'Ability to detect lies? Kayda you said there was magic in this world is this true?'

'I don't know if it is or not. I have not been around humans too much in my lifetime. My best advice is to be cautious.'

"You may not believe she has this type of ability so we will do test runs. Please answer them with a truth or a lie and she will tell us if it is true or not."

Finally Ms Star speaks up and looks me into my eyes

"Where are your mother and father right now?" she asks as she keeps staring at me. I've been in worse situations than this so my face has not move a single inch and i answer with complete honesty

"Dead" i simply answer staring right back at her not letting up.

"Truth, I am sorry to hear that." she says, giving me a nod of acknowledgment.

"Now the last test question, How many beasts have you killed?"

"None" i simply answer giving a lie with the same poker face i have had the entire time.

"Lie once again, How many beasts have you killed?" she repeats.

" i have killed 3 " i say again seeing if that was just dumb luck

"Lie, please answer truthfully. I can see what you are trying to do. As you can see my ability does indeed exist, now how many beasts have you killed?"

'What the hell is this for real can she really tell when i lie or not i might be in more trouble than i realize...'

"One " I simply say not wanting to test her anymore.

"Truth, as you can see my ability works but while I touch someone. Yes it is not suited for combat but it is used for interrogation, now please answer these set of questions as truthfully as you can. We will start with ''What base do you belong to?"

'Base? I have no idea what she is talking about. Kayda, do you know what these bases are?'

'No i do not as i said i didn't see very many humans let alone human structures. At this point tell the truth you won't get in as much trouble as if you were to lie'

'Yeah i guess you're right'

"I do not belong to any base i am not property" i say sternly

"truth , next question, who are you?"

" Aiden Tal "

"Truth, final question. Are you an enemy of humanity?"

' Enemy of humanity? What does that mean? I mean I'm human so no I wouldn't be?'

"No i am not "

"Truthfully, thank you for your participation. We will be back in a couple minutes to inform you of the results." she says as she gets up and leaves with the other man leaving me to look around the room once again.

'Magic really exists huh? I wonder how powerful I can get with this strange system ' i think to myself studying the system windows, now that I have gotten used to using it and how to activate abilities.

'Oh I forgot I got 2 notifications, let me check them.'

'Hm poison resistance is level 2. I wonder what the difference between level 1 and 2 are. I just hope it's a lot because I spent that entire time back on earth becoming immune to the deadliest poisons just to be put to sleep by some sleeping gas. I'm still pissed about that.

A couple minutes later the male walks into the room with a badge in his right hand.

" As of today you Aiden Tal, You will be serving your mandatory 3 year military service. Lucky for you, the entrance exam is tomorrow. Here is your badge stating your name and age and will be updated once your ability is registered. You're going to attend base 12 and you will be transported there tomorrow. Get a good night's rest, good luck." he says as he hands me the badge and walks off and closes the door behind him.

' okay this is good i can find out more information while I'm here I'm sure they have intel that ordinary citizens can not get. Now what's with this badge?' staring at the black square badge in my hand. I touch the front of it and a digital screen pops up with just my name and age like the man said but instead it says 16 not 23.
