7 - Registration 2

"You can't use magic?" Master Victor asks quietly while we wait in our seat

"most magical creatures can't" i explain quiet enough that only he would hear "our existence is magical so we have passive abilities but can't usually use active magic for the most part. While i have abilities like 'coexistence' that require active activation, it's not magic, it's just a feature of my species given to me by my creator. But since i'm a greater magical creature, it's likely i am the only one of my species that will ever exist"

"what about skill scrolls. If you used one, do you think you'd be able to use magic?" Master Victor asks

"No, the potential to use active magic doesn't exist for me. Although i don't know specifically what a skill scroll is, i have been to other planets that had magic and, on those planets, they often had items that would grant the user skills to use certain active magic, i assume skill scrolls are similar. Even with those items i was unable to use magic"

"That's a shame" Master Victor frowns in disappointment

We waited for about 10 more minutes before hearing our number get called again. This time i was told to follow as soon as Master Victor stood. I followed behind as we entered the last door on the right which opened up into what looked like a training area. It had a running track, weights, a climbing wall, a climbing rope that hung from the ceiling, a parkour course, a punching machine and then another smaller room in the center with blacked out windows, i couldn't see inside at all.

"Which one of you is Victor?" The man ask looking from me to Master Victor

"I am" Master responds.

"Ah yes, i see, tell me a bit about your summons skills"

"Aside from its transformation it only has enhancements" Master Victor says bluntly

"Can i see the transformation?" The man asks

"Aaron, cancel coexistence".

I was reluctant since my fullness stat was below half but was forced to transform anyway, I stumbled a little readjusting my posture to balance myself. The man backed up in surprise.

"Wh-what is that?" he asks.

Master Victor shrugs nonchalantly "A demon"

"O-okay...let's start the examination"

The tests were pretty basic at first, speed on the running track, then stamina, then repeat for flying, then agility on the parkour course, wall climb and climbing rope, strength on the punching machine and weights, then the tests moved onto my other senses. I was sent into the smaller room at the center, inside the room a light was turned on as the door opened, it had a microphone, a book and a headset. I was instructed that the man would talk to me through the headset, first the range of frequency i could hear was tested through the headset, then the decibel at which i could hear was tested, after that the light was dimmed a number of candela and i was required to inform them at what point which letters couldn't be read from the book. The letters in the book had varied values compared to the paper so some took a long time before disappearing. By the time i couldn't read a single letter from the book it was pitch black inside the room.

By the end of it Master Victor received a summary and we were told to wait yet again for the last time.

"So, to make up for a lack of magic it looks like all your stats are stacked in your enhancements" Master Victor says mostly thinking to himself while we wait. I had my wings folded tightly so as not to bother anyone and my tail wrapped close to my body as i sat kneeling, i was looking at the ground and had my fingers under my palms to mostly hide my claws, i knew my appearance usually unnerved humans a lot, i didn't want to bother them too much.

Finally, our number was called yet again and a card was handed to Master Victor. He passed it to me without a second thought "Here, your ID, always wear it in public and in dungeons" he says and begins to walk out. I follow behind while looking my card over, it was attached to a neck strap that i put over my head right away. The card itself was solid plastic colored a bright blue with orange lines on the right side, on it read:

"SUMMON ID

Aaron

SUMMONER - Victor Henry Steven Ross

PN: 0xxxxxxxx7

Magic: null

Phys: D+

Rank: E+"

"Master, what rank are you?" I ask interested in the player system

"I'm rank E"

"My system tells me you are level 11, is E rank high for that level?" I ask

"You can see my information?" Master Victor asks with a click of the tongue 'does he disapprove of that?' i wonder.

"Only, your name, level and health status, Master, i can't see anything else" i reply with a smile.

"Hmm, i guess that's fine. It's an average rank for my level" he says heading into another building. It looked like a restaurant this time.

A staff member practically ran up to us frantically "I'm sorry sir, you can't have your summon inside the restaurant" she says trying to usher me outside. I was a bit taken aback 'am i some kind of dog?' i can't enter a restaurant? is it maybe because the other customers would be unnerved?' i was bewildered.

"Right, Aaron just stay outside and wait. Did you want any..." he pauses realizing the mistake as he looks at me.

I bend down to whisper in his ear with a little smile "I'd love a taste of the waiter if you'll allow it" i half joke. He pushes me away with a snort

"Go wait outside"

"Yes Master" i respond and walk outside to wait.

While i waited i checked my fullness status. I could pretty accurately guess without looking based on my actual hunger, but the system just made it easier to gauge how much time i actually had left before i went berserk.'32 fullness' i mentally read. 'That's 23 sane hours without a feed'. After Master Victor comes out of the restaurant i might need to ask for his permission to hunt for a meal. It was almost another hour until Master Victor came out.

"Let's go" He says so i follow right away.

"Did you enjoy your meal Master?" I ask

"yes, it was pretty good" he says then goes quiet for a minute "How often do you need to eat?" he asks

"twice a day is optimal" I reply

"You want my blood twice a day?" he half yells surprised, i raise my hands to say it's a misunderstanding

"No no Master" i start " i only need human blood to increase my fullness. Eating other blood twice a day reduces the amount of fullness decrease, more blood doesn't have an effect" I explain

"So how long will you last with two meals a day on-" there was a pause "31 fullness?". I didn't have to think hard about it at all

"52 hours at most"

"that's it?" he asks "an actual summon would be less work" he grumbles.

I laugh slightly "You'd need to find an actual artifact for that" I tease earning a glare. I went quiet quickly hoping to not provoke him further. Clearly, we weren't in the realm of joking yet.

INFORMATION SECTION:

For those wondering how to calculate it for yourself;

-With two meals a day, starting from 100% fullness Aaron can last 7 days. That is 186Hours. Therefor its a ratio of 1.86H:1Fullness meaning 1.86 x current fullness(CF) = time remaining.

-with one meal a day, starting at 100% fullness Aaron can last 4.5 days (108H) = 1.08 x CF

-with no meals a day, starting at 100% fullness Aaron can last 3 days (73H) =0.72 x CF
