The Author's POV
Chapter 192
-Di! -Di!
"Alright, you can remove your hand"
Indifferently staring at a blue orb before me, I removed my hand from it as Irene looked at the tablet in her hand with a small frown on her face.
With each passing second, the frown on her face deepened as an odd and confused look appeared on her delicate face.
Lifting her glasses up with her finger, she softly muttered.
"Odd..."
After a couple of seconds, alternating her eyes between the orb and me, she once again asked me to place my hand on the orb.
"Please put your hand on the orb again"
"Okay"
Heeding her command, once again placing my hand on the orb I inwardly clicked my tongue as thought to myself
'tsk, how useless'
The orb before me was called the 'Talent assessment orb'
A dwarven artifact that measured the talent of an individual. Although the relationship between the humans and the three races wasn't the most ideal, trades between them still happened, as dwarves required a lot of resources to develop their artifacts.
The talent assessment orb was an orb that the dwarves had created and developed with the goal of assessing an individual's talent.
By measuring the general structure of the body from the veins to muscle fibers as well as mana proficiency and mana affinity, the orb was able to determine the talent limit of a person.
In general, the test was fairly accurate with more than 99.98% of cases reaching their dictated talent limit. For the 0.02% of cases where the artifact was inaccurate, generally, it was only by a margin of error of one rank. Meaning that if the orb dictated that someone's talent was D rank, there was a 0.02% chance that their talent could be C.
However such occurrences were rare. Furthermore, aside from that, there really haven't been any cases where the artifact was wrong by a large margin.
...at least as of yet.
Once again staring at her tablet and then proceeding to look at the orb that was beneath the palm of my hand, Irene muttered.
"Is the device perhaps malfunctioning?"
Typically once someone placed their hand on the talent assessment orb, the orb would immediately change color depicting their talent limit.
Yellow - G
Green - F
Orange - E
Red - D
Blue - C
Purple - B
Grey - A
White - S
Pink - SS
Black - SSS
...those were the different colors that the orb would display upon someone touching it. However, as she looked at the orb that I was currently touching, she couldn't see any changes in color as the orb did not light up.
Was the artifact perhaps malfunctioning?
Though extremely rare, such cases were not unheard of.
Placing her finger on her ear where her earpiece was, Irene softly muttered.
"Sir, we've got a situation. It seems like the talent assessment orb is malfunctioning"
"Yes, it seems to be that way"
"I haven't tested it myself but the looks of things it really seems to be broken since everything else is working fine"
"Understood, yes"
Staring at Irene who was obviously speaking to a higher-up, I tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Since the conversation was related to me, it was only natural that I was curious.
Unfortunately, as the earpiece was stuck in her ear, I couldn't hear what she was talking about and thus could only give up.
Either way, although I wasn't able to properly listen to their conversation, from what I've gathered it seems as though they wanted to replace the talent assessment orb.
Realizing this I shook my head.
