Chapter 7: Appraisal clerk exam
Walking towards the bus stop, Alan for the first time felt clearly how light his body had become. He could feel how much strength was flowing inside his body; according to what the former Alan had studied, this must be the effect of the feedback when a beast tamer contracts his beasts.
The mutual benefits of forming a contract are that the tamer received the feedback, and the beast will have access to the sanctuary where growth will be accelerated.
The bus stopped near the beast tamer association. Alan stood in front of a majestic building. Although Howler Town is just a small town with less than 100,000 in population.
Still no one can deny the majestic presence that their association has and its clear influence on today's society.
After entering the building, he simply took a waiting number and waited for his turn to come.
Registration as a beast tamer is an obligation that every citizen of the federation who awakens has to do; of course, the association will provide the tamers with the best work environment and access to more resources.
After his number was called, Alan moved toward the receptionist window.
The receptionist: "Good afternoon, sir. How may I help you today?
Alan: "Hey there! I would like to complete my registration as a beast tamer. Here is the document provided by the school.
The receptionist: "welcome to the best timer association, and congratulations on your awakening. Please fill in the information on the screen to identify the type of your talent. After you finish writing down everything, you will move to the second floor to conduct the confirmation test.
Alan filled the form provided by the receptionist with his information regarding his talent. He chose to omit the type of his talent,by writing that his talent was, speed-type talent. After spending much time in the library, he came to understand just how precious, rare, and dangerous information-type-related talent can be, so he made sure to keep the information to himself.
Handing over the form to the receptionist, Allen headed to the second floor, where he was greeted by another member of the staff who led him to another room where he waited until they could test and confirm his awakening.
10 minutes later a staff member called him inside the room as he asked Alan to put his hand on a futuristic-looking board.
Staff member: Please put your hand on board, circulate the Ena inside you, and release it.
Following the instruction, Alan did as he was told. A few minutes went by, and the expression on the staff member became shocking.
Staff member: you have a good amount of Ena,Your family must have invested a lot of resources in you.
Alan smile back "oh they indeed did."
Staff member: "Well, everything is finished. You can head back to the first floor to get your association ID."
Allen thanked the staff member and headed to the first floor, receiving his ID. He had a slight smile on his face.
The receptionist: "Sir, your registration is now completed; you can now have access to the association site on the ethernet.Other than getting resources at a discount, you can also look for suitable jobs and missions for yourself. Again, congratulations."
Alan: "thank you."
After finishing the procedure at the association Alan looked at the clock; it was almost 3:00 p.m., and in less than 2 hours he needed to be at the Evolution Masters Association to take the appraisal clerk exam.
Thankfully, the Evolution Masters Association was on the same street as the Beast Camera Association, as it was close by. He decided to walk.
The evolution Masters association didn't lose at all to the beast tammers association in fact it looked even more majestic, entering the building Alan knew that he had come early so he looked for the seat in the waiting area to wait for the exam meanwhile he was looking for stores and commerce association that was looking for an appraisal clerk.
Lawrence: You really don't know when to quit, do you? Is this the third time that you failed the appraisal clerk exam?
Jaden: "And does it have anything to do with you exactly? Aren't you here for the same reason to take the exam again."
Lawrence: "I thought I would spare you The embarrassment of failing for the fourth time but some commoners really don't know where they stand do they?"
Alan watched the interaction happening in front of him it seems that many people are here to take the exam and the exam looks much harder than he had already thought.
Lawrence looked at Alan who was sitting right in front of him.
Lawrence: "look there's even high school students here, it can't be that he's here to take the exam."
Jaden: "what does it have to do with you we are here to take the exam not to listen to your superior nonsense."
Alan paid no mind for the conversation that happened behind him as he had The eye of Ra.
Soon after a young staff member came and inform all the people waiting inside the room that the exam will commence shortly and they need to move to one of the warehouses nearby
After everyone gathered at the warehouse and elderly gentleman stood there and said
Jacob: "Good evening everyone the appraisal clerk exam will start now, The exam will have three stages after the clearing first two stages you will be officially granted the certificate of an appraisal clerk"
The first stage is as follows: inside the warehouse behind me, there are 20 Rilcs and eggs. You will be given a paper to fill out as you conduct your appraisal. Those who can get the right appraisal of 10 out of 20 Will pass this stage, you have exactly 1 hour; please start.
The participant scrambled inside the warehouse, and everyone took their paper and started examining the 20 Rilcs and eggs.
Alan moved unhurriedly as he started to look at the first objects; a string of data reflected in his eyes.

Alan continues his work scanning all the 20 objects here and writing down the description, but to not raise any suspicions, he wrote 3 of the 20 as a mistake.
1 hour went by as if it were a few minutes.
Mr. Jacob called everyone to hand in their paper and return back to the waiting room.
After half an hour, a staff member came and started calling the names of those who had passed the first stage.
Almost half of the people who applied for an exam were already eliminated, but what surprised Alan was that the two people who argued behind him, Lawrence and Jaden, also passed.
As his name was called, Lawrence asked the staff member in a loud voice.
Lawrence: Hey, are you not mistaken? How could a kid in high school pass this stage of the exam? Are there some backdoor deals happening here?
Alan looked at Lawrence with cold eyes.
The staff responded in a stoic manner: Are you doubting our association's capability to perform the exam?
Lawrence, knowing that he pushed the wrong button, could only back off, as he couldn't afford to piss off the staff.
Jaden, who was watching all of this, shook his head as he knew how petty Lawrence is.
The staff member: Congratulations to those who have passed the first stage. Right now you will move to the 3rd floor to the fourth hall. Mr. Jacob will inform you of the content of the stage 2 examination.
Alan took one last cold look at Lawrence before heading to the third floor; there Mr. Jacobs was waiting for everyone together.
Mr. Jacobs: "Congratulations to you all on passing the first stage. Now the second stage will begin. As you all know, appraisals are all about knowing the unknown, so to confirm that we have a capable appraisal clerk, every one of you will be randomly giving three items; off the three items, there is one item that has a certain defect inside it using your appraisal. Not only do you have to appraise all three, but you have to clearly identify the defective one. Each of you will have his own booth. You have 1 hour to finish this task; after that, three judges will come to your booth to evaluate your results. Good luck.
Alan knew that he didn't need 1 hour to identify the defective one and appraise all three items.
He walked over to his booth and sat there; the staff member delivered the three items to him.
but the moment He looked at them He found that there was a problem that he could not have anticipated.
