Marc was looking at the black crystal. What kinds of secrets would he have hidden inside himself? What was the inheritance he got from Nick, and also his parents? To just stand and wait would have no point.

"How do I do this?"

Nick smiled. "Just touch it and let the energy you feel inside of you flow into the crystal."

Marc was sceptical about how he was supposed to do this, but when he tried, it was exactly as Nick said. He could feel energy flowing though his veins, and could direct it though his body. He could also accurately feel how his physical state was, including things like the little wound on his finger when he cut himself while cooking dinner. He could basically feel the amount of energy he had and how healthy he was.

He carefully pushed some of his energy into the crystal. A bright blue strand of light flew from his finger into the crystal. To him it was a mesmerizing color, with a dazzling brilliance, precisely the color he liked. It was as if his soul was converted into that color, which, after a second thought, was exactly what happened.

Nick saw all of this and his eyes became large and his eyebrows flew up on his face. "You... you.... you actually have the "Divine Blue Dragon God" as your soul shape! That is one of the three most mysterious and powerful shapes known to our database! And your color is one that perfectly matches this! It is almost too perfect to be true!" Nick was tremendously excited to see this, to the point where he almost stardted dancing. "Hahahaha, this is great! To actually have such a great successor! I am proud to have chosen you as the 75th Progenitor of the Twelfth house! You can change the future of our House if you'd like! It is something I used to strive for, and you might make it a reality! I actually believe you can do it, that's also why I'm sending you to my school, because I believe you can become so much more there."

He suddenly seemed to come to his senses. "Oh but I almost forgot, we still need to check your Bloodline and Secret Skills! I was so excited over the shape and color of your soul, I almost forgot. My apologies."

It's okay" Marc said, "I don't really know what it means to have such a shape and color, but I'm guessing it's pretty good right?"

Nick laughed. "But of course my dear Marc! You have a shape of your soul that has only been seen once in all of our history! It was the same shape as one of the three great Magicians of the Ancient era! They were the ones who made the non-Magic world! They build things like the Interstellar Galaxy Cannon Array and items like the Living God Sword Kyoru! Those are still some of the most powerful object in existence, even though they were made some 36 million years ago! You having this shape is something that is destined for greatness! But enough about that, let's see..."

He gently swiped from top to bottom over the crystal, and right after his finger letters of some sort appeared on the surface. However the moment Nick read these letters he turned ghastly white, and froze to the point where he could have been a statue. He looked at Marc and said:

"Who the hell are you?"
