"...magnificent."
An old man sitting on an office chair said to me.
I was currently in the principal's office.
In the office of Oliver Olsfer.
It was an ordinary principal office, to be honest.
An Office is unbefitting for a man of his status.
It was an ordinary office with couches, a bookshelf filled with documents, A table, and a desk.
Sitting on the seat of the desk, was an old man that fit the definition of an ordinary old man.
With grey hair and beard. And a surprisingly relatively healthy figure for his age of 112.
"Tell me, How did you get to this point at such a young age?"
"Hard work sir."
I replied to his question with a stoic face.
"If hard work truly was everything behind it, then talent would be useless no?"
"I do not know what you mean sir."
"3 students in the history of this school, Have had a talent of SSS Rank and were truly committed to strengthening themselves from birth..."
He paused, then continued after a while.
"Yet you, Having only a talent ranking of SS rank are much much stronger than them even though you had only started training a year ago."
He finished his statement and looked at my face.
"Well, Hard work and talent make a great combination with me sir."
I said without a change in my emotionless face.
"Enough."
He said and started to release a tiny bit of his SS rank pressure.
I remained standing without change in my posture.
I could handle this amount of pressure.
[Supreme Dragon Of Chaos Suleras says that a dragon must not kneel to a being so weak.]
Oh shut up will you? You finally talk after what, a month?
I'm trying to concentrate here.
"During your talent assessment, The orb was starting to glow black until you forcibly pulled your hand away, By the time, Most of the people there were too shocked to see you remove your hand in the blinding white light, So why did you remove that hand of yours?"
"I was merely startled, sir."
I answered his question, trying to appear as truthful as I could.
Unfortunately, The person known as Allan Peccator was a shitty actor who knew nothing about how to fake expressions on his face except for a poker face.
"Well, you were a child so that's understandable...if it had happened only once..."
Shit, this man did his research.
"Since you were such a 'child' that you became startled 'twice'.I with ask this of you again. Instead..."
He paused again, He had clearly emphasized the words Child and startled.
The pressure around me disappeared and The eyes of the principal started to glow green.
This was his skill activation,[Sages Eyes[S]]
His eyes would always begin to glow green whenever he activated this skill in the novel.
And because of this information, I prepared myself.
"Are you related to the demons in any way?"
He had asked his question, I could not lie now, If I did he would immediately kill me and all news of me would vanish.
That was the power this man held.
Although he was nice to humans.
He was an absolute tyrant to those who had fallen towards the demonic side.
"No."
I answered.
His eyes had stopped glowing. And soon a smile appeared on his face As if he was satisfied with the answer his skill had given him.
"Well, that's good. You can leave now. Rank first."
He said, Without even waiting for a single second more I walked towards the door and exited the room.
After I was outside of the room, I then opened a portal back to my room and immediately jumped in.
The moment I was back in my room, I closed the portal and immediately fell on my knees and was gasping for breath.
"...why does everyone need to fucking threaten me for answers..."
I said out loud.
I was just venting out my frustration because, for some damn reason, every high-ranking figure or head of an organization I had met had immediately been suspicious of me and my rank.
This happened with Richard first and now Oliver.
Can't you guys just chill?
A Super rookie just wanted to join you that's all.
Ahh, I'm being too much of a bitch about this...
I was damn suspicious, to be honest.
But there was no need to threaten me with your pressures damn bastards!
And with my tantrum over. I crawled towards the couch and just fell asleep there.

'He truly was not lying...but why can't Sage Eyes see his stats?'
Oliver pondered, His skill to him was an absolute skill that had never failed him at all.
Yet when he used the skill on that student of his school, He could only figure out if he was telling the truth or not.
Just as He was pondering, An Silver owl
materialized on his shoulder. Seeing the owl, Oliver asked The owl.
"So, What do you think of him, Argenti?
[Do not speak of such an esteemed figure so disrespectfully Oliver]
The voice of a man was heard in Oliver's Mind.
Oliver, who was surprised by his familiar's apparent respect for Allan, Asked his familiar.
"Kind of rare for you to be so respectful to a child when you don't even respect me?"
[He is a figure worthy of mine and the spirit's respect]
"Oh? How so?"
[He has the blessing of two Almighty Supreme Dragons.]
Oliver nearly stood up in shock after hearing what his familiar had said.
Asked Argenti Again with a surprised voice, he said.
"...Are you serious?"
[When have I ever not been serious?]
"...but how could a human receive the blessing of a dragon that can't be received even by Most Royal Elves!?"
[I do not know how, But from now on,never use Sage's Eyes to look into him. The Almighty Supreme dragons Behind him tolerated you only now, If you do it again, Both of us would be wiped from existence. And get in his good books, It would benefit us both.]
With that, The owl disappeared from his shoulder.
Oliver slumped back in his chair.
Still Dumbfounded by what had occurred.
'...shit'
And he then just realized how Alan was so strong.
And that he probably had threatened the worst person he could threaten and had narrowly escaped being wiped from existence itself.
