Maya made her way to the president’s office of the Evolution Association in this city. When she asked whether Auric wanted to inform the president of the Evolution Association in their city, Auric rejected her idea.

"I have actually used my earth element to help someone in the past. If I bring President Gunther to the assessment, I’ll have to reveal my earth element. While it’s true that I plan to reveal it soon, right now is probably not a good idea."

Although it was a shame, Maya agreed with Auric. Revealing so many things all at once would put him at a disadvantage. And it was even more concerning, considering this promotion was for his silver-grade qualification.

So, it was better to proceed according to his idea.

The president in this city was an old man, unlike President Gunther. He looked at Maya with a serious expression. "To think I would be receiving the young lady of the prestigious Relesha family. Should I be honored, or should I be scared?"

Maya politely nodded to him. "I think you should feel happy because you’re currently lucky. I’ve come here to bring you an opportunity."

"I may not be the best or comparable to the Relesha family, but I think I’ve seen my fair share of opportunities. Are you saying that this opportunity you’re offering is enough to make me accept it?" The president was smiling, but his words warned her that he intended to maintain his integrity.

However, Maya simply said, "I’m giving you a chance to personally oversee the rank-up test of a 17-year-old silver-grade evolution master.

"!!!" When he heard her words, the president felt as though thunder had just reverberated in his ears. "What did you say?"

"You didn’t hear me incorrectly. A 17-year-old silver-grade evolution master. My student became a 3-star bronze-grade evolution master only two days after his awakening. He intended to become a silver-grade evolution master now."

The president’s eyes widened. It looked like Maya wasn’t joking around.

He fell silent for a moment before extending his hand. "Please sit down. I’ll hear you out."

Maya nodded gracefully. After taking her seat, Maya said, "You should be able to access the database of the Evolution Association, right? You can search the qualifications of my student directly there."

"Of course. May I know the name of your student?"

"Before that, I need you to promise me never to indulge this secret. And even after this test, I need you to maintain the secret."

"..." The president frowned. On the one hand, being able to oversee the test for the youngest silver-grade evolution master would be an honor. On the other hand, it sounded so sketchy that there was something wrong.

After thinking it over, the president said, "All right. However, I need to understand the full circumstances. Besides, even if I want to keep it a secret, everything has to be recorded or official. It doesn’t look like you’re planning to test him publicly, so I have to keep a record for the database."

Maya nodded. "Of course, that will be fine by me. But the test shouldn’t involve many people."

"What is your student’s element?"

"His element is lightning."

"In that case, I will need an evolution master to assist me in case things go wrong."

"That works for me." Maya didn’t have any qualms.

"All right." The president paused for a moment. "Start talking."

"You can check his information first. His name is Auric Elfe. As soon as you check his file, you will probably understand what I’m talking about."

The president frowned. He was a bit suspicious, but he checked the information. The screen remained on him, so Maya couldn’t see the information in case she provided the name just so she could take a look at this person’s information.

It looked normal at first. Auric was indeed super talented to be able to become an evolution master. It was even more surprising that he got the three-star badge.

However, the most shocking thing was that there were actually two badges issued for the same name. "Hmm?"

He wondered if it was an error in the system or if her student had actually done something illegal, such as planting his name in their system.

"You should have seen by now that my student is a wind evolution master and a plant evolution master at the same time."

The president frowned. "You want me to erase this record? So, he has done something illegal."

"Watch your mouth. He hasn’t done anything illegal." Maya raised one finger to stop him from talking for a bit. Then, she searched for the video of Auric’s battle against Simon and showed it to him.

It clearly showed that Auric used two elements at the same time.

"!!!" The president couldn’t believe what he had seen. "This..."

"For the record, this video is not edited. I am not going to joke around about this matter. I can’t fully explain to you his situation, nor do you have that privilege or knowledge for that.

"Just know that my student can use the lightning element and it’s at the level of a juvenile-form avatar. He is personally ready for the rank-up exam, but due to his special circumstances, I recommend having a private exam.

"Surely, you understand how big the mess it will cause just by seeing a 17-year-old silver-grade evolution master, right? What if they know he also possesses several elements?

"I’m not asking you to erase it. It’s only right that you keep a record of it. However, don’t publicize it or advertise it for a period of time. It will be a shame if this matter blows up and the young man loses his life because of your own satisfaction.

The president became serious. Maya was correct. He understood the circumstances. There was no reason for him to demand all of Auric’s information, nor did he have the rights to get it.

The president asked, "If I say such a talent should be made public so that the country will pay attention to him..."

"You know, when I worked as an adjudicator, I understood that, in my world, there is no such thing as innocent until proven guilty. I only know that you are already guilty in my eyes, and no matter how you prove yourself, I simply execute the sentence." Maya’s face remained calm, but her words were cold.

This was a warning. The moment this matter blew up, she wouldn’t hesitate to kill even the president of the Evolution Association. This was just a branch office anyway.

"..." The president looked down, contemplating. "How far does he intend to take the exam? 1-star badge?"

"No, he’s applying for the 3-star badge."

"He has that confidence?"

"Well, he gained the bronze version of that badge two days after his awakening. What makes you think he can’t achieve it after training for more than a month?"

"When?"

"This Thursday. You can choose the venue, but ensure its secrecy."

"In that case, we’ll have to do it in a different hall. I have to vacate the area as well." The president sighed. "In that case, you’d better prepare. I will call five people for that, but the way we have to grade it will be quite different.

"Because it’s not a public examination, we can’t bring in many people at once for the sensitivity test. So, I expect more accuracy in that test in exchange for the smaller sample size."

"I’m fine with that." Maya accepted it.

"However, before the test, I need confirmation for everything. If he’s not actually your student, I’m not continuing the test. If he doesn’t look credible, I will stop the test. I can’t afford to risk people’s lives for the whim of the wealthy."

"Fine by me."

The president nodded. "All right. I will search for the people. I’ll notify you of the exact time later."

Maya nodded in agreement. "Thank you for hearing me out."

She didn’t bother to stay any longer, knowing that the president was convinced. In that case, she’d better focus on letting Auric evolve as soon as possible.

The president sat there, staring at the ceiling. After sitting in this position for so long, this was the first time he had heard of a silver-grade evolution master that young.

It would be a monumental achievement, especially for those overseeing the test, not to mention his multiple elements.

Even though he had to keep it a secret for the time being, that secret would be revealed in due time.

His name might even go down in history.

Auric was definitely someone that the Evolution Association needed to keep.

"Still, he has a wind element and a plant element. Now, he is going to take the test for the lightning element." The president crossed his arms, pondering. "I don’t think three elements are unique enough. Can he actually awaken all elements?"

The moment that thought crossed his mind, there was a surge of excitement in his heart.

If such a thing were possible, Auric might become someone far greater than he imagined.

"It looks like I have to prepare for the test in earnest."

While the president was thinking about his glory after overseeing the test, Maya called Auric after leaving the association.

"The test has been arranged. Thursday. Tomorrow, the artifact should arrive. I’ve got confirmation from my family. Will that be enough? How long do you need to evolve?"

She was worried Auric needed more time to absorb the artifact.

However, with the vacuum in his heart, Auric had the fastest absorption speed. Just like what happened when he absorbed the wood element from the table in the store, he could absorb the artifact in less than an hour.

So, he said, "I can evolve tomorrow once I get the artifact. It shouldn’t take too long. By the way, Teacher, I’ve made my decision. I’m wondering if I can get two of them at the same time."

"Why?" Maya frowned.

Auric hesitated for a few seconds before explaining his circumstances. "I can probably gain another element after evolving my element, but the element I get after my evolution can only be used at the level of a juvenile-form avatar, not any lower. This means the foundation of that particular element is more brittle."

"Oh?" Maya thought for a moment. "Sure. I just need to work a bit harder. Most likely, the first person will come on Tuesday, while the second will come on Wednesday. If you are fine with that, I can do it."

"Thank you, Teacher. You’re the best."

Maya chuckled. "Just make sure you evolve quickly and don’t mess things up."

"I’ll do my best."

Maya hung up before smiling. "Well, I’ve booked the plane to that city, so I guess I should also book another one. These next few days are going to get busy."

On the one hand, she would be exhausted since she had to travel to multiple cities. Fortunately, her probation was not a problem since the dean had taken care of it. For the next few days, it wouldn’t matter where she went.

On the other hand, she was quite satisfied. After all, she could visit other cities. It was a nice change for her boring probation.

...

The next night, a man was standing in the middle of the park. The park was dimly lit, making it creepy. Without anyone walking around, he looked around suspiciously.

He swallowed his saliva, wondering if he had accepted something that might lead to his kidnapping. He was worried that there was a human trafficking organization that targeted desperate people who just wanted to evolve.

He arrived in front of a bench, finding a small earpiece lying on the edge.

"There really is one..." The man muttered. He looked around one more time, wondering if someone was watching him.

Since he couldn’t find anyone, the man grabbed the earpiece and put it on. At that instant, a voice echoed through the earpiece.

"Hello, Mr. Robert Hagenson."
