Strength Test

The more Alex thought about it, it seemed like a decent idea.

There wasn't much risk in him telling them about his flame talent. It basically just gave him a free affinity, along with the ability to crudely wield the element.

Since they were going to test for any affinities anyway, it wasn't a big deal for him to reveal where that affinity came from.

Not to mention that his talent wasn't really a big secret anyway, Rowan had already seen it in the Primordial Expanse, and he had already escaped back to the Federation when the city was overrun.

He had no doubt that other people on the battlefield at the time also noticed the bright flames, and it wasn't hard to find out he was the source.

Who knew if there were some outsiders in the mix who also escaped back to the federation and reported on what they saw?
