Blazren pointed at a tall black machine with a glowing surface.
"Just put your hand here," he said.
"It'll scan your body and detect how many mid-tier abilities you have."
Zain stepped closer. "How does it show the result?"
Blazren crossed his arms.
"Simple. If the machine glows white, that means one or two mid-tier abilities."
"Green means three or four. Blue means five or more."
Zain raised an eyebrow. "So blue is what I need to pass?"
Blazren nodded. "That's right."
Zain looked at the scanner, then placed his hand on it without hesitation.
The machine let out a soft hum.
Energy ran along his arm and up through his shoulder.
A moment later, a bright blue light flashed across the screen.
Blazren watched closely. Then he nodded again.
"Blue. You passed."
Zain smiled. "That was easy."
Blazren turned to him. "You've got the requirements. But now I'm curious."
Zain tilted his head. "Curious?"
Blazren nodded.
