FAILURE

AN HOUR LATER

"Everyone please settle down the ceremony is about to commence, you'll only stand up when you hear your names. Is that clear!". The Headmaster Mr. Smith said with authority.

"Yes sir". They all answered and sat down.

Muzan looked at the headmaster with admiration. "Now that's the voice of an ability grandmaster". Muzan thought.

A few moments later, a gene-tracking device was brought into the hall. A gene-tracking device scans the mana signatures produced from one's gene then analyses it to know the ability the person possesses.

Mr. Otaka, the one operating the gene tracking device placed it on a raised floor and turned the device on.

BEEP.

"Alice white, step forward". Mr. Otaka looked at the list given to him and called out a name.

As he called out her name the entire hall was filled with murmurs.

-- Here she goes.

--She is so hot.

-- I wonder what ability she'll get.

Alice stepped forward and entered the range of the device.

THRINNG

[ ABILITY DETECTED ]

[ HEART OF LIGHT, SS-RANK ]

The entire hall was in an uproar due to the result.

-- What the hell!

-- A SS-RANK!

-- She's definitely a prodigy.

Mr. Smith was brimming with joy where he was sitting." Our first candidate, an SS-RANK. This would be a big blow in Starlight Academy's face". He thought while a mischievous grin spread across his face.

Alice went back to her seat as the uproar died down.

" Erik Smur, step forward". Mr. Otaka called.

Erik walked up with pride and a smug look on his face.

THRINNG

[ WIND, A- RANK ]

-- Not bad.

-- An A- RANK.

And with that the number of students reduced, then it finally got to the last student.

" Renka Muzan, step forward." Mr. Otaka said. Muzan walked up to the raised platform. " What will it be?". he thought.

THRINNG

[ ERROR, RANK- UNKNOWN ]

"Huh". Mr. Otaka looked at the device with a confused expression. "He's a failure".
