Chapter 888 - Assessment

"Ah, Sir!" A middle-aged man suddenly approached Theo and Hendry who were walking toward the assessment facilities.

"Hmm? You are?"

"It's my pleasure to meet you, Sir Hendry. My name is Jacob Butsler, the head of the human resource in this company."

"Is that so? I'm about to go down to the HR department."

Jacob widened his eyes, never expecting to have the former CEO visit him. He immediately clasped his hands and asked politely, "May I know the reason for your visit?"

"I want to have this guy assessed." Hendry pointed at Theo. "Of course, registering him too."

"Ah! If it's Sir Hendry's recommendation, we can skip everything and admit him." Jacob smiled, trying to please Hendry.

However, Hendry felt displeased and snorted. "So, is this how you treat other people who have connections too?"

Jacob's body trembled as he shook his head furiously. "Of course not. Even the sons and daughters of our board directors are required to go through the proper assessment. It's just… Sir Hendry's eyes leave me in awe. So, I believe he has good abilities if Sir Hendry personally brings him."

"There's no need for rules if we're not going to follow it. Since you're here, lead me to the assessment facility."

"Understood." Jacob's back was covered with cold sweat as he thought he had just escaped a narrow death.

They reached the assessment facilities in just a few minutes.

Theo could see many people showing their power in front of people in white coats.

Hendry then looked at Theo and extended his hand. "Your Temple Card."

Theo immediately handed him the Joker Card and saw Hendry giving the card to Jacob.

"This is his identity. He's shy, so don't ask any questions."

"Certainly. Since Sir Hendry has personally guaranteed his identity, there's no need for a background check anymore." Jacob nodded. "Let me register him first. It'll only take three minutes."

"Sure. Go ahead." Hendry nodded and led Theo deeper into the facilities. "There are basically five tests here. They are Background Test, Physical Ability Test, Five Aspects Test, Skill Test, and Fighting Test.

"The first one is to make sure of your background as well as your blessing. After all, we would like to prioritize someone with proper background and God Level Blessing… though, they are rare.

"The second one couldn't be more obvious. As for the Five Aspects Test, it's to determine your understanding and other stuff. Just do it without holding back.

"The Skill Test is to allow you to use anything you like… if you have a special ability you want to show. Last but not least, the fighting test. You'll fight someone from this facility to showcase your ability."

Theo nodded. "I guess I can do all of them."

"Well, show me how big of a genius you are." Hendry smiled. "Remember, the bigger the impression, the better. I can do some stuff on the back after all."

"Okay." Theo agreed.

Not long after he finished the explanation, Jacob returned while handing back the card. "It's all done. Before the test, the grade is from F to S. For now, your background has been graded as S."

Hendry agreed with this assessment. Theo's talent was one of a kind, his blessing was rumored to be God Level too, his connection to the World Class Monsters was good, and his name could shake someone's heart. If he was ranked lower than S, he would go rampage.

Since Hendry had agreed, Jacob asked, "Then, shall we move to the second test?"

"Guide him. I'm going to watch from the side." Hendry gently pushed Theo's back, giving him to Jacob.

"This way." Jacob immediately extended his hand and asked Theo to follow him to the first facility.

The room had weights, a treadmill, and other stuff for proper physical tests. However, they had been altered slightly to match Theo's level.

Jacob then placed a few tracking devices to monitor his heart rate and other measurements.

"We will start with weights, then running, before testing your Magic Power. We can use the data provided by the Temple, but our measurement is a bit different from theirs." Jacob explained.

"Sure." Theo nodded.

While they were starting, their presence had been noticed by a few staff and examinees who were waiting for their turns.

"Hey, isn't that…"

"Yeah. That is Jacob, the department head…"

"He is personally doing the test? Who is that kid?"

"Instead of that kid, you should take a look at the old man who is watching that kid."

"He looks familiar."

"What familiar? He's the former CEO, Hendry Hamilton."

"The former 4th Richest Man in the US… 7th in the world."

"Yeah. I heard he has retired."

"He's the one bringing this kid? Who the heck is that kid?"

"This is quite interesting. We should watch it too."

"What is his level though?"

"The monitor said 521."

Theo's existence piqued their interest as he was related to Hendry personally. They were curious about what kind of person Hendry brought.

Some of them walked closer while not daring to stand next to Hendry. They all watched Theo from behind the glass.

Since Hendry had already told him about making a big entrance, Theo had expected them to come here.

He ignored all of them and proceeded with the test.

The weight seemed to be attached to a string. According to Jacob, the string would measure the weight he could lift, so he could use all his strength without skills or Magic Power.

He took a deep breath and grabbed the bar, lifting it up.

The screen above his head soon turned on and showed Theo's strength.

100 lbs.

200 lbs.

…

…

The number continued increasing as Theo started pouring more strength.

"Since he is level 521, his strength should be around 1000 lbs. That should give him a B." One of them said while looking at Theo's skinny body.

However, Theo had poured so many points into his strength. He lifted the weight with all his strength and exceeded their expectations.

1397 lbs.
