The lady in red stepped forward. She flicked her hair once before putting her right hand on the scanner.

The screen showed many parameters and they varied between many numbers before settling down.

The bottom of the screen showed the result with the biggest font size.

[PSYCHO FORCE CAPACITY: 39/132]

[RATING: C-]

"C minus? Average but you can still develop your capacity further.

Next, Clive Young."

The lady in red flicked her hair again. She seemed extra proud with her number.

The brooding young man with long front hair stepped up and put his hand on the scanner.

[PSYCHO FORCE CAPACITY: 110/310]

[RATING: B+]

"B plus? Now this is a promising recruit. With the right training, you should be able to reach Silver Rank easily.

Next, Hank Mackall."

Loretta stared at Clive. She bit her lips so hard it smeared her lipsticks. Clive didn't even look at her and just stayed in his own world.

Hank stepped up. He was the muscular man with the white tank top. Hank put his hand on the scanner.

[PSYCHO FORCE CAPACITY: 227/290]

[RATING: B-]

"Oh… You hold a lot of NES, Mackall. This can be very harmful long term and can affect your mental health. NES should be lower than fifty percent at all times and only raise when it is needed.

Next, Terry Lang."

Hank nodded at Doctor Avaline and didn't comment. He didn't seem to care much about Dr. Avaline's warning.

Terry Lang was the man in the business suit. He hadn't talked at all since Selina came.

[PSYCHO FORCE CAPACITY: 12/275]

[RATING: B+]

"Whoa! You have a little bit less capacity than the previous two but you have exception control. Less than fifty points on the NES means you must control your emotions really well.

Next, Zoe Kovac."

The business man stepped down. He continued to stay silent and didn't show any emotions.

The lady in red looked down on the floor. Her pride was nowhere to be seen. She had the lowest capacity so far.

"I can't be lower than that kid." Loretta thought to herself.

It was the turn of the young girl in the high school outfit. She placed her hand on the scanner.

[PSYCHO FORCE CAPACITY: 187/303]

[RATING: B]

"So many good recruits today. Your capacity is very high. A little bit too much NES though. You need to train to maintain your Psycho Force to be low while not in combat. It will help with your mental health a lot."

Zoe took out a lollipop and put it in her mouth. "Eh. I'm young. I have plenty of time to do that."

She stepped away from the machine.

"You should start now. The older you are, the harder it is to control your emotions.

Next, Rebecca Martinez."

Becky turned to Selina and winked. "Prepare to be surprised."

She approached the machine and put her hands on the scanner.

[PSYCHO FORCE CAPACITY: 400/499]

[RATING: A-]

"Almost 500 points of Capacity?" Doctor Avaline couldn't help but raise his voice. "But your NES is too high, Martinez. Dangerously high. It will ruin you if you don't control your emotions."

Rebecca didn't even listen to Doctor Avaline. She grinned from ear to ear. "I don't worry about that. The more NES I can endure, the more my Capacity will grow."

"That is true… But it will also be easier for you to lose control."

"Come on, uncle. Look at me! I am as happy as ever. I won't be consumed by those negative emotions. Hahaha!"

Mater glanced at Becky. He remembered a few mages like her. Those that were very talented and burned brightly like a firefly in the night. Those that burned too fast and died too soon.

"Negative emotions don't always literally mean negative, Martinez." Dr. Avaline scolded her. "Happiness can also be harmful to you. Addiction can also make you very happy. But it isn't good for you."

"Eh. Don't worry, old man. I know how to deal with it." Becky ignored his warnings and stepped away, leaving Dr. Avaline to shake his head.

"Next. Selina Isles."

Rebecca nudged Selina with her elbows. "It's your turn."

Selina took a deep breath and stepped forward. Everyone was looking at her and the black cat on her shoulders.

When she walked past Dr. Avaline, he noticed Mater.

"A cat? Is this your familiar, Miss Isles?"

"Uh… I don't know. But everyone says so."

"Well then, good luck Miss Isles."

Selina placed her hands on the scanner. Mater was ready to manipulate the machine with his Chaos. When his magic reached the machine, he could read the result before anyone else.

"Oh mine… You really don't need my help after all." The black cat meowed.

[PSYCHO FORCE CAPACITY: 99/999]

[RATING: S+]

Dr. Avaline dropped the clipboard on the floor. His eyes shot wide open.

The scientist took his glasses off and cleaned them before looking at the screen again.

"999 points of Capacity?! You are almost…" Dr. Avaline gulped.

He observed Selina closely again. Her appearance reminded him of someone.

"May I ask if you know anyone with the name of Iris Sordenfield?" Dr. Available tremblingly said.

"Yes. You are the second person that asked me that question today. She is my mother."

Everyone's eyes snapped to her direction.

"The Phantom?!" Hank blurted out.

The brooding man showed his first emotion. His pupils dilated because of surprise.

The business man squinted his eyes and observed Selina.

Becky's head darted around like she couldn't believe what she's hearing.

Loretta and Zoe didn't understand what the fuss was about. They were waiting for someone to explain.

"What do you mean 'The Phantom'?" Selina asked Hank.

Before Hank could answer, Dr. Avaline jumped in.

"Paraphysical Hostile Anomaly Neutralizer Tactical Operation Model. Also known as P.H.A.N.T.O.M. for short. They are the best of the best Psychics in the entire country.

They operate independently and do not take orders from any organizations or departments. They answer only and only to the President.

People on the streets usually call them… Neutralizers.

Your mother is one of them."

"Oh? Phantom? Now things are becoming interesting. I pick your house randomly but it seems like Fate has other plans for me.

Ugh… I hate when Fate plays games like this." The black cat yawned. He put his fluffy paw on Selina's head to comfort her.

She was one step closer to learning what happened to her missing parents.
