Cultivation Level

Jack stood and walked as quick as his shaking legs would allow to the back of the dark room, silently wishing the atmosphere wasn't so crazy ominous. He knew immediately that his tester was to be the Overseer from the sound of her voice and it scared the living shit out of him. The woman was the living embodiment of the term 'Ice Queen' and he could feel her gaze piercing through him. When he finally arrived at the front and took his seat he couldn't bring himself to look at her for nearly a full minute until it became apparant she wouldn't speak until he did.

When he could finally bring his eyes up to hers he was surprised to see her regal face much more relaxed than earlier, and her smile caring and tender. "Hello Jack, thank you for coming. I know what you have been through, even if others can not see it. Welcome to our world, I hope it suits you more than your previous one."

...

Jack sat stunned, staring in awe at the incredibly powerful elf. "H-how... I haven't told anyone..." He stuttered, feeling as though she could read his every thought. "Magic of the Arcane school is very useful for assessing future risk, but I know we have nothing to fear from you. There is much I cannot see, and I do not know anything about your old world nor how you came to be in this one. I can however sense that you have magical potential. If you have any further questions please hold them until after the test. Now please pass me your guild liscense." She replied with a warm smile, reaching out with one extremely elegant hand. Jack produced the card and passed it across carefully.

She placed one hand in his own outstretched one, and placed the other on his license, calming him. "Calm your mind, and try to relax. This will take but a moment." For about a minute she sat with her eyes closed, her incredibly soft and beautiful hand moving carefully across his arm and upturned palm while Jack tried to keep it cool. Without any warning her eyes shot open, and her hand clamped tightly around his wrist. He was sure she would turn him to dust right then and there but she only stared in wonder at him for several moments. Finally she seemed to regain her senses and she quietly turned over his liscense to reveal new writing on the back. There were six pie charts with percentages under them of different colors, and underneath all of that were two lines of text. All of the pie charts were labled for the different magical schools and all read 100% underneath. As for the other text, it read:

Potential Level: 600

Cultivation Level: 1

The Overseer beamed at him, her expression one of intense happiness, and she exclaimed loudly, "This is the single strangest reading of potential I have ever seen in my eight-hundred years as Overseer! Your magical potential is the highest possible for every magical school, and your cultivation so far is near non-existant. You may just become the greatest mage this world has ever seen with the right education!" Jack froze, as he could feel hundreds of heads turn towards her ecstatic crys and all of their gazes landed on him.

Highest possible potential? Greatest mage?

Jack could not believe his ears and he had to pinch his leg to convince himself he wasn't dreaming all of this. "Cultivation?" He asked slowly, not daring to reveal how utterly happy he was with not being mediocre for once lest it overwhelm him. "Ah yes, your cultivation will rise as you use magic, and will determine the level of spells you can use as well as learn. Each school has different level qualifications for different spells but all are great. With your magical potential you may choose any primary and secondary schools you wish to join. So which will you choose?"
