God's Eyes Chapter 334 - Not Enough?

After the receptionist shook his head to regain his senses, he nodded before saying
"Yes, let's move to the soul assessment. Touch the soul-awakening orb right next to the mana mastery orb and try to manifest your soul world. It's not difficult and shouldn't take long."
When the receptionist finished speaking, Jason walked towards the soul-awakening orb before he focused on exerting the concealment technique on his soul world, which revealed his mana fluctuations at the 2nd Master rank, while his mana core rank of a 3rd Expert was still hidden.
Taking a deep breath, he laid his on the orb right in front of him, before manifesting his soul world at the same time.
The soul-awakening orb started to glow in a black-reddish color which began to change slowly to a dark-red, red, lighted, orange, yellow, green until it finally stopped when it glowed in a sky-blue color.
Meanwhile, his soul world filled the whole room that was more than 20 meters in width, length, and height.
A faint golden color permeated the whole room, in which he manifested his soul world.
Three different colored, complex masses floated through the room.
These three colored masses were a black flame, a sky-blue ice-shard, and liquefied poison, exactly these affinities Jason already contracted.
Jason not only concealed his soul world's size and affinities but also the dense gold color that could be seen within his whole soul world.
Right now, it was only a faint golden color, but this was still enough to shock the receptionist greatly.
It has been a long time since he saw that a real prodigy did the assessment in their small City.
Normally prodigies were either in the greater schools inside A-grade cities or from Influential families and clans who could order to receive a personal assessment at their home.
However, Jason was one of the few prodigies he assessed in his whole life and the receptionist couldn't help but feel jealous when the AI announced
[Soul world detected! Scan completed! 4-Star soul awakening[Heaven's Will]-- Grade: Superior!]
Jason was satisfied with this result and retracted his soul world again.
He was sure that he was considered a prodigy with two 'Superior' grades, even if his martial art proficiency was average to above average according to his fake age on his new Identity.
As such, he looked at the receptionist with a faint smile, asking if he did well enough.
While the receptionist tried to gather his senses, he manifested the holographic screen of the room they were currently inside, when the AI suddenly announced.
[Hidden-Prodigy assessment concluded! Does the examinee want to add something unique about him? If not, the rating will hereby be not enough to pass the assessment!]
Both Jason and even the receptionist listened to the AI's voice confused as they mumbled
"Not enough?"
Looking at Jason, the receptionist said
"I'm sorry Sir, but under normal circumstances, the given grades should be enough to pass the assessment!
Please let me take a look at it for a moment to find the issue.
Other than that, I can't do anymore because the Jual family sees it as mandatory for every prodigy to pass the Hidden-Prodigy assessment before they're allowed to receive more information about the Mythic Garden!"
Nodding his head faintly, Jason began to wonder what was going on because he was confident in being considered a prodigy with his soul world and mana mastery that were both superior.
Having a soul awakening at the [Heaven's Will] should already be enough to be considered a prodigy but his mana mastery was also extremely high.
'What do I have to do to pass this test? How many will even be able to pass this test, if I'm already failing with a 4-star soul-awakening...?'
It was only obvious for him to be confused when the receptionist suddenly asked.
"I'm sorry to ask this but is Sir's mana core rank below the Master rank? The AI says something like this but I can only sense Sir's mana fluctuation at the 2nd Master rank right now. Considering that Sir has a superior mana mastery, the system deducted lots of points because of the examinee's faint determination and ambition to reach a higher rank.
Sir is already 16 years and almost 7 months old, which means that mana fluctuations at the 2nd Master rank with a superior mana mastery are nothing special. Deducting the amplification of the body and mana core through possible soulbonds, the AI determines that Sir's mana core rank is below the Master rank!
If that is correct, Sir has to either reveal something else that is considered special by the AI.
Otherwise, Sir would have to accept the AI's decision which would mean that the Hidden-Prodigy assessment was a failure."
Trying to understand what happened, Jason could only sigh when he remembered that his mana core's concealment had been partially released during the short period which he required to conceal his soul world.
In that short interval, the AI should have detected his mana fluctuations and started to make calculations, which led it to conclude that his mana core rank was not as high as it seemed to be.
However, it was still astonishing for Jason to hear that the system deducted points for his 'laziness' and him not being determined or ambitious to reach a higher mana core rank.
This was ridiculous but he had to acknowledge that his fake age of 16 years and 7 months would probably indicate that he was rather lazy, considering that he had a superior mana mastery.
Nevertheless, it was clear to Jason that he wouldn't receive more information about the Mythic Garden if he were to fail the Hidden-Prodigy assessment just like that.
As such he had to think of certain things he could show the AI to give him some more extra points.
With that in mind, Jason thought that showing that he had 3 affinities might be worse because he would indirectly show that the system's calculated mana core rank was even lower than it expected.
"System I would like to add something to my assessment's final rating!" He said, waiting for the system to say something which it did after a few moments.
[Please proceed examinee!]
Initially, he didn't want to reveal his strength to such an extent.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it.
The Hidden-Prodigy assessment was the best way for him to receive more information about the Mythic Garden.
Allowing Scorpio to enter his mana core, he manifested his carapace on one of his arms before he told the system.
"I'm about to consolidate a fortified soul conjunction with my soulbond! Is that enough to cross the threshold for the assessment or do I have to hurt me and my soulbond to manifest more of my soulbond's body?"
Jason was reluctant to show both the AI and receptionist that he established a complete fortified soul conjunction with Scorpio which was the reason for him to make it look like he was just about to establish one!
This would give him less bonus points, but establishing a fortified soul conjunction at the age of 16 to 17 years was still nothing to scoff at!
