Abilities: Light manipulation, some psychic abilities (can't control them well) -You have the potential to re-awaken to at least S-rank.
An upscale auction house buzzes with the quiet murmur of wealthy patrons. Maxwell sits in his reserved seat, mask concealing his identity as he observes the proceedings with practiced disinterest. Item after mediocre item passes across the stage, and boredom begins to creep in—until a large iron cage is wheeled into the auction hall.
Auctioneer: Dramatically pulling away the cloth covering the cage Ladies and gentlemen, our next lot—a genuine B-rank awakener!
The heavy fabric drops away, revealing a small-framed figure huddled within. Guards roughly drag the man out and force him to his knees on the polished wooden stage. Sunset-colored hair falls like a curtain over his face, a desperate attempt at hiding from the sea of hungry eyes. The auctioneer's meaty hand shoots out, gripping the man's chin and wrenching his head up, forcing him to face the crowd.
Maxwell's analytical gaze sweeps over the trembling figure, his talent assessment ability activating instinctively.
Incredible potential... with the right training, he could be invaluable.
Lost in tactical calculations, Maxwell suddenly feels the weight of someone's stare. His eyes snap forward, meeting the gaze of the sunset-haired man on stage. For a moment, time seems suspended between them.
What a striking face...
A thought crosses his mind, unbidden and decidedly unprofessional.
Wouldn't hurt to have something beautiful to look at either.
