Chapter 891 - Monster

"I have nothing to show you." When Theo uttered those words, the entire facility turned silent, not believing what he just said.

"What?!"

"Did he refuse to show anything?"

"Does he not have anything noteworthy?"

"Impossible. With such good Control and Awareness, he should have some skills that incorporate them."

"That's right. At the very least, he should get B+ even if he just shows a trashy skill."

"For real?"

"Fuck this guy."

"Show us something!"

Their voices erupted as they were disappointed by Theo's decision.

Theo maintained his calm and asked, "Is it not possible to skip the test?"

Jacob made a wry smile and let out a long sigh. "No. It is possible. But you need to know that the result of this test will be F. Are you alright with that?"

"How's the scoring system anyway?"

"There are five sections. Each section will score differently. As long as you pass a certain amount of points, you're accepted into the Star Group."

"What is my score right now?"

"I need to calculate it first, but in a glance, I believe you have passed the required amount to pass the test," Jacob explained. "I mean, your Awareness, Control, Strength, and Magic Power, as well as Background, are enough to pass the entire test. They're pretty insane in my opinion."

"I see." Theo nodded a few times and fell silent.

On the other hand, Jacob remembered the time Hendry whispered something to Theo. He didn't eavesdrop earlier because he wasn't qualified to do so, but with what Theo did earlier, there was one thought that appeared in his mind.

With a wry smile on his face, he asked, "You're not going to skip the last test as well, right?"

A smile appeared behind the mask, but no one could see it. Theo said with a light and cheerful tone. "Of course. I want to skip it."

When they heard Theo's answers, the entire facility blew up in anger.

"What the fuck?"

"Did he just say he wants to skip it?"

"How dare he?!"

"We're here watching you, and you dare to give up."

Their outrage was understandable, considering Theo had shown something too good in the first three tests. So, their expectation of Theo was very high.

Unfortunately for them, Theo had no intention to show it to them, fully knowing that the assessment would affect his future.

And if Theo actually continued at his pace, there might be a chance that Theo got an overall score of 'S+'.

This was what they wanted to see.

Meanwhile, Jacob's face was pale as he didn't know what to say to Theo. He glanced to the right and found Hendry as shocked as everyone else.

'Will I get demoted from my position because of this?' Jacob wanted to cry but had no tears. Theo was simply a bully. He raised everyone's expectation to the sky only to drop it to the bottom of the ocean.

"You should think about it a bit more. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you continue with this, you might get a huge contract."

"No, I'm good." Theo waved his hand, rejecting his offer. "Since I've already passed, I want to skip the Skill Test and Fighting Test."

"…" Jacob bit his lips before making another wry smile, accepting Theo's request. "I understand. I will show you the result then."

After a few seconds, he gave the Skylink to him to show him the result.

Background Test (Overall: S+): Blessing S - Special Note: Hendry Hamilton personally brought him to the group.

Physical Abilities (Overall: S-): Strength A+, Endurance B-, Agility B-, Vitality B-, Magic Power S+.

Five Aspects Test (Overall: S): Awareness S+, Breathing D-, Control: S+, Technique: A, Endurance B+.

Skill Test (Overall: F): No skill

Fighting Test (Overall: F): No fight

Overall Score: B

"This is your score. I can give you another chance to retake the fourth and fifth tests. With this kind of evaluation, as long as you can get a good score for both tests, your overall score can be an S.

"I don't know if you are aware of the importance of this S Score… but there are only three people that have this kind of score in the company. They're enjoying a huge benefit for achieving this kind of score.

"As long as you improve a bit, I can guarantee you to be the most talented person in the Star Group. That's why… you should reconsider your decision."

"No. It's fine." Theo shrugged while adding inwardly, 'I already agreed with the contract anyway. If they change it, I'll just leave.'

Jacob gritted his teeth and looked at Hendry to ask for his opinion.

"Kh." Hendry clutched his chest while glaring at Theo. He thought, 'This boy is fucking joking with me. Just because I told him not to show everything, he skipped the last two tests.

'We already came to an agreement with his contract anyway, so there won't be any change. No, if I change anything because of what he's done here, he'll simply leave this Star Group and join another influence.

'And because he's shown a result that surpasses everyone's expectation, he can skip the last two tests in the pretense of hiding his real martial prowess.

'Some people will think he doesn't have martial prowess that matches his specs, but it's bullsh*t. Most of them will believe he's hiding his true power. This way, no one knows the extent of his power.

'They'll certainly be more careful around him. This action alone protects him for a while. The spies hiding inside the company will also think twice because the information they send will end up being their speculation. No one knows about his real power.

'Those influences won't invite him until they have enough information about him. However, their interest will be piqued because he's the boy I brought in.

'At the same time, I can't really complain because I was the one who told him to hide his power.

'In other words, just by skipping the last two tests, he has fulfilled four main purposes: protecting his secret, completing my tasks, making others doubt his real strength, and lowering people's opinion about him.

'This kid is a freaking monster…' Hendry was utterly shocked by Theo's talent.
