"Alright, now that I've finished explaining the details, we will start measuring your energy capacity and affinity," Bargan said as he clapped. "We will start with the first row. Do you understand?"

"Yes, teacher!!" The students said at the same time. Their voice echoed in the whole classroom. They couldn't hide their excitement.

"I'm first." A petite girl stood up. She has shoulder-length blue hair. Her skin was white as snow and her blue eyes were like a crystal of ice. She wears a white big ribbon on the back of her head. She has a blue thick tail sticking out in her back. Her height was low as she was even shorter than Souta who was a goblin. For your information, Souta was the shortest among the boys in the class. She was the class representative of class 1-B, Lumilia Von Asvares.

"Good, come here!" Bargan nodded at her.

Lumilia walked forward and stopped in front of the transparent orb.

"Just place your hand on top of it and gather your mana." Bargan's voice sounded beside her.

She nodded before she raised her right hand and placed it on top of the transparent orb. She closes her eyes and circulates her mana.

The transparent orb emitted a white light as soon as it made contact with her mana.

"It's okay to remove your hand now," Bargan said to her.

Lumilia slowly opened her eyes and removed her right hand. She saw some changes in the transparent orb. There were two things inside the transparent orb and both of them were color blue. One was like a whirlpool of water while the other one was a solid crystal. And on top of these two were the glittering stars.

"These two things were your affinities," Bargan said while pointing at the two things inside the transparent orb. "You have two affinities and they are Water and Ice. And the small stars in the orb are your magical capacity."

"So teacher what is my magical capacity?" Lumilia asked Bargan. She wouldn't know what's her magical capacity just by looking at these stars.

"A big star like this one is equal to fifty mana and this medium-size star is equal to ten mana while the smallest one is equal to one mana," Bargan explained to Lumilia. "So counting these stars, we would know how large your magical capacity."

There were six large stars, two medium-size stars, and seven small stars. It means that her magical capacity was three hundred twenty-seven. She could store three hundred twenty-seven mana inside her body.

As expected of a demi. They really have a large magical capacity compared to a goblin like Souta. Well, they all have different starting points. Back in the game, a human character was stronger in the first version. It was because the stats added to every level.

A human and demi's added stats were fifteen per level while the ordinary goblin was one per level. The difference was so large that it was impossible to catch up to them without evolution. But not all goblin was weak. Out of all monsters in the whole world, the goblin was a monster that has a lot of subspecies. And most of them were very powerful and brutal.

Back in the Great War, there was even a record that three Goblin Executioner, a higher species of a goblin, killed an adult dragon and ate its flesh. It was recorded in the library of the Three Great Country. Humans and demis feared this higher species, no, they all feared all the monsters that's why they hunted and killed them when the monsters were still in their first evolution. Even a simple slime was fearful enough as long as it reached the level of higher species. Consuming a whole country was a feat of a really powerful slime in ancient times.

...

One by one the students measured their magical capacity and got to know their elemental affinities. The students' magical capacity was between two hundred and three hundred. And most of their affinity was one and some of them were two like the class rep.
