Garion then thought of sothing else. "What about humans then?"
The group looked at him curiously.
Garion crossed his arms. "What are humans usually known for in cosmic civilization?"
The three imdiately exchanged looks.
Then Slifera suddenly laughed. "That question is actually hard to answer."
Garion blinked. "Huh?"
Rovak nodded imdiately. "Humans are weird."
Garion frowned slightly. "That sounds racist."
"No, seriously." Rovak pointed around the hall dramatically. "Humans are probably the most diverse race in the universe."
Garion looked surprised. "The most diverse?"
Elisa nodded calmly. "One human civilization can be completely different from another."
Slifera continued imdiately. "So humans focus entirely on body cultivation, others on technology, soul techniques, weapons maniacs, or other strange rituals."
Garion blinked slowly. "...The hell?"
Rovak laughed loudly. "That’s exactly the normal reaction people have toward humans."
Elisa crossed her arms lightly. "Human adaptability is considered one of their most dangerous traits."
Garion listened carefully now.
Slifera pointed toward the countless crowds moving around them. "Most races naturally lean toward certain specialties. But humans?"
He shrugged. "They can beco almost anything."
Garion slowly nodded. "I see..."
Elisa looked toward Garion, adding. "Humans are also known for having extrely unpredictable geniuses."
Garion raised an eyebrow. "Good unpredictable or bad unpredictable?"
Rovak answered imdiately. "Yes."
Garion snorted loudly. "Damn."
Then suddenly, a massive chanical voice echoed throughout the registration hall.
[Next group. Step forward.]
The line ahead of them moved again.
Rovak stretched his arms excitedly. "Looks like it’s finally our turn soon."
Garion slowly looked toward the enormous glowing registration gates ahead.
And honestly... He was starting to get curious about what this universe would label him as.
As if reading his thoughts, Slifera suddenly pointed toward one of the floating holographic boards nearby.
"By the way, since you’re new, you should properly understand the threat rankings first."
Garion glanced toward him curiously.
Rovak crossed his arms while speaking casually. "The rankings for Awakening Realm go from A5 to A1."
"A5 is the lowest. Usually normal newly awakened cultivators."
Slifera continued imdiately. "A4 ans above average talent. A3 are elites. A2 are geniuses or abnormal combatants."
Then Elisa calmly added the final part. "And A1..."
Her silver eyes narrowed slightly. "...are monsters."
Garion blinked.
Rovak laughed softly. "People whose combat ability, aura, growth potential, or abilities completely exceed what their current realm should allow."
Slifera pointed around the giant hall. "Most people here will never even see a real A1 in their lifeti."
Elisa nodded lightly. "Those people usually beco famous very quickly... or dangerous very quickly."
Garion slowly looked back toward the registration platform ahead while Atlas laughed quietly beside him.
[Well... this should be interesting.]
---
The massive registration hall continued buzzing with noise as countless cultivators moved through the glowing gates ahead.
Garion and the others finally reached the front section of the line after waiting for a while.
The closer they got, the more Garion noticed sothing strange.
People nearby occasionally glanced toward Rovak, Slifera, and Elisa with expressions of surprise or recognition.
So whispered quietly to each other. Others looked impressed.
Garion blinked slightly. "...Huh."
Rovak looked over. "What?"
Garion pointed around casually. "Why do people keep staring at you guys?"
Slifera imdiately grinned smugly. "Because we’re famous."
Garion stared blankly. "...Excuse ?"
Rovak burst out laughing loudly. "Hahaha!"
Elisa sighed softly while rubbing her forehead slightly. "Please don’t encourage him."
Slifera crossed his arms proudly. "Too late."
Garion narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "You guys are actually famous?"
Rovak smirked. "Well... kinda."
Before Garion could ask more, one of the glowing registration platforms ahead suddenly activated.
A chanical voice echoed throughout the nearby area.
[Next registrants.]
Rovak stretched lazily. "Looks like our turn."
The group walked toward several floating tallic platforms connected to giant crystal pillars.
Garion imdiately noticed countless glowing symbols moving across the pillars.
The mont Rovak stepped onto one of the platforms... BOOOOM.
A wave of red light scanned across his body instantly.
Then a massive holographic screen appeared above him.
[Na: Rovak]
[Race: Drakhor Race]
[Age: 72]
[Cultivation Realm: Peak Awakening Realm]
[Threat Evaluation: A2]
The mont the A2 ranking appeared... several nearby people imdiately reacted.
"That’s Rovak?"
"The Drakhor genius?"
"Damn..."
Garion blinked slowly. "...72?"
Rovak looked confused. "What’s wrong with that?"
Garion pointed upward. "You’re seventy-two!"
Rovak stared at him for two seconds before suddenly laughing loudly. "Hahaha!"
Slifera almost started laughing too.
Elisa sighed softly. "You really did co from a backward world..."
Garion frowned. "What?"
Slifera pointed around casually. "For cosmic races, seventy-two is still considered very young."
Garion blinked repeatedly. "...Seriously?"
Rovak nodded proudly. "Among geniuses, being under one hundred years old is considered young."
Garion’s mouth twitched slightly. "The hell kind of lifespan is that..."
Atlas suddenly laughed beside him.
[Congratulations. You’re officially the short-lived species stereotype now.]
Garion ignored him completely.
Then Slifera stepped onto the next platform.
Blue light instantly scanned across his tallic silver body.
Another holographic screen appeared.
[Na: Slifera]
[Race: Silverian Race]
[Age: 64]
[Cultivation Realm: Interdiate Awakening Realm]
[Threat Evaluation: A2]
Garion imdiately looked surprised again. "Wait."
He pointed upward. "You’re only Interdiate Awakening Realm but still A2?"
Slifera smirked proudly. "Exactly."
Rovak crossed his arms. "Threat Evaluation isn’t only about cultivation level."
Elisa nodded calmly. "It asures danger and potential relative to your realm."
Slifera pointed at himself proudly. "My combat ability is considered abnormally high for Interdiate Awakening Realm."
Garion slowly nodded. "I see... It actually made sense."
Then Elisa stepped forward calmly.
Silver-white light flowed around her body as the platform activated.
The holographic screen appeared above her next.
[Na: Elisa]
[Race: Moon Elf Race]
[Age: 81]
[Cultivation Realm: Late Awakening Realm]
[Threat Evaluation: A2]
Several nearby cultivators imdiately looked shocked.
"A Moon Elf A2?"
"That’s rare..."
"She’s one of the younger Moon Elf geniuses, right?"
Garion looked genuinely surprised now. "You guys are actually kinda famous..."
Rovak grinned proudly. "Kinda?"
Slifera smirked. "We’re considered rising geniuses from nearby star regions."
Garion stared blankly for a mont.
Then he pointed between them. "And you three were just casually helping random newbies?"
Elisa answered calmly. "We were bored."
Rovak nodded imdiately. "And registration periods are entertaining."
Slifera grinned. "Especially when confused newcors start panicking."
Garion snorted. "So I was entertainnt."
"Exactly."
Garion could not even argue against that.
Then suddenly... All three of them slowly turned toward him at the sa ti.
Garion blinked. "...What?"
Rovak grinned widely. "Your turn."
Slifera crossed his arms while looking curious now. "Honestly, I really want to know your evaluation."
Even Elisa looked more interested than before.
Garion stared at the glowing platform ahead of him. Then the countless people nearby before turning back at the platform.
Atlas suddenly spoke beside him.
[This is going to beco annoying very quickly.]
Garion sighed softly. "...Yeah."
Because sohow... he already had a very bad feeling about this.
