-On the road to the church-
The path uses white stones, which made it like a road to heaven. And also, the road is immaculate and well-maintained.
There are various shops located on both sides of the road, which are also attractive to visit. Each of the shops cast a unique spell to attract custors.
Hmm... This road is too clean. I was wondering where all the beggars are located.
It's impossible to have a road cleaning service in this era.
Desmond frowned when he noticed Alice approaching one of the toys and touching it with excitent.
This troublemaker has started to make trouble now.
...
anwhile, on the narrowed alley, Desmond saw many beggars and children dressed in rags who did not dare to touch the white and clean road.
Hmm, it's even possible to ban a person from the public road.
Then one of the children tried to step forward, but upon touching the road, a magic circle suddenly appeared and made the child bounce back.
Desmond noticed the child had a burn mark on his foot; the child also had a tail while a horn suddenly grew on his head. So that child isn't human.
System, scan that child status.

System Conclusion: Based on scanned data from several people, having a trait is considered lucky. Because not everyone has a trait.
But people who do not have a trait can still collect energy and live comfortably without traits; even people who have uncommon traits in the community will; many are looking for marriage so that this trait is passed down to the next generation.
]
So the demon doesn't have a trait.
And his strength is stronger even at age ten years.
And a slave.
Such a sha; that's why strength is important.
Now it looks like my family belongs to a noble family.
Interesting…
System, scan the average stats of the people in the world and compare them with mine.

System Conclusion:
This scan result is indifferent to class; for the average adult, a normal person's stats is around 5.00 -10.00, depending on the profession. When it cos to young people, it is about 2.00 – 5.00, and then children are around 0.30 – 2.00.
These stats only an Strength and Agility. Even ordinary people keep ditating to raise their unique energy. This world builds with magic.
So people said, "If you can't do a lifestyle spell, you are useless in society."
But when it cos to ditation, it is easy, and becoming a wizard/witch is impossible without the correct technique.
Because only by studying in a school will the proper technique to advance beco a wizard/witch.
System Final Conclusion: The host is superior in Unique Energy than normal children. But the other attribute is average.

As the system was explaining, Desmond heard his mother's voice.
"Alice, co here, don't disturb soone's business."
Alice was holding a toy while looking at her mother. "But Mom, I want that, please."
Despite Alice's pleading eyes, Leona was unfazed, but Bastian was different. He entered the shop and ca out holding a toy.
When Leona acknowledged Bastian's behavior, she shook her head helplessly while smiling wryly.
"You're lucky this ti, your father bought it, and next ti don't repeat it or..."
"Yes, Mom." Instantly Alice replied, staring at her new toy.
Leona glared at Bastian for a mont before heading to the church. However, Bastian only smiled while caressing the back of his head.

Church
When Bastian and his family arrived at the church, they saw a sister sweeping the yard. Leona then approached the sister.
The sister with blonde hair color and a busty body was tidying up the yard, but she stopped when she noticed that guest had co.
"Ara...Ara… What we have here?" The sister smiled and said seductively.
"Good morning, Sister. Is the church open now? We want to identify our child's traits."
The sister then looked at Desmond, who was carried by Leona. "Good morning. Yes, the church is already open. Please follow to identify."
She directed Bastian and his family to follow her inside, while the rest of the guard brought by Bastian stayed outside.
...
The morning sun shone through the church's large glass, making the church look like a very holy place. Inside the church, it was very peaceful because it was still early in the morning, and not many people were there.
The church is usually used as a place for ditation, treatnt, and identification of traits.
When the door opened, the other sisters that were cleaning the work chairs imdiately went to the door to greet the guests.
"Good morning, is there anything we can help you with?"
"Hello, Sister Sistine, this family wants to identify the child's traits who has just been born."
When the sister heard a familiar voice, she looked behind. "Oh, so it was you, Sister Liliana. Co here; follow ."
After that, Sister Liliana bowed to Bastian's family and went to continue her duties.
Then Sister Sistine directed Bastian's family to the church podium center. On the center podium was a stone table decorated with ancient script inscriptions.
"Please put your baby's hand on this stone tablet." Sister Sistine glanced at Leona.
Seeing this situation, Desmond imdiately ordered the system.
System, scan the stone table and that sister.
And conclude if there is hidden intent in the stone tablet.

That nun has a trait.
But the effect is so useless.
At least the stone is safe; I thought the system would get discovered.
Usually, normal people will feel afraid of unknown existence; they will start to research objects or living things.
While Desmond was analyzing the conclusion in his mind, his mother held Desmond's hand and directed him to the stone table.
The stone table glowed, and a notification sounded in Desmond's mind.
[ALERT! | Spell cast on Host Body]
[Terminate? Y/N]
If I destroy it, my family will be suspicious.
After all, even my sister has a trait.
But if I display the unique trait.
The risk is too high.
System, can you fake my grade trait?
[System : …..]
If my guess is correct, there is a trait hunter out there or is this the real reason our family is being targeted?
This is just in case, it's better to keep your head down for a mont to survive and have another chance for revenge than to die silly just because you are proud to have a rare trait.
[
System Conclusion: Yes, host. By changing the unique energy movent, the trait will also change, but this process requires 2x checks to succeed.
The first check will make the results invisible. The second check would make the previously 'Unique Energy' in the host rotate very fast in the host's body. After being faked, the rotation would slow down, making it look like a rare trait.
]
Saying this, Desmond rembered when he'd read a novel when an arrogant young master mocking mc skill, but another arrogant young master smashed and kill him in the spot because of jealousy.
Okay, use it that way and make it look natural.

After a long ti, the stone shone, and the light beca dim, and Desmond's information appeared in the air like a 3D hologram.

Huh? Where are my stats, trait effects? Why is this information so minimal?
[
System Conclusion: Because the host has a system, the data displayed is complete compared to data in this world.

When the identification showed Desmond traits, everyone fell silent.
"Strange, how could this happen. Sorry, try to place your son's hand one more ti," Sister Sistine said with an apologetic expression.
Leona repeated the sa steps, and the stone shone for a few monts, then Desmond's status appeared again.
{
Na: Desmond
Gender: Male
Age: 2 day

Upon seeing her son's trait, Leona trembled. "Ah... how... my little boy has such an ugly trait?"
"Sorry, ladies. Your child cannot change a trait but relax, traits only affect a small part of their personality. The rest depends on them. How they see the world and how their parents teach them."
"Cheers, honey. At least, he has a rare trait-like , Whuahahaaaaa," Bastian tried to persuade Leona. However, his action made Leona and Alice sadder.
"Stupid dad, I will not let my little brother beco like that later."
"Good, my girl, always keep your brother away from your father's influence, or he will be like him."
Seeing his wife and daughter behave like that, Bastian was confused.
"Why ? I just say it's good to have a rare talent. Desmond can beco a swordsman and a wizard at the sa ti as ."
"Stupid," both Alice and Leona said simultaneously, making Bastian surprised and smiled wryly.
Sure, it's nice to have a family like this, but at the sa ti, it will beco your biggest weakness.
Upon noticing Sister Sistine's laughter, they beca silent, embarrassed by their behavior.
"Thank you, Sister, for helping us." They bowed to Sister Sistine.
"No, no, it has beco our job," Sister Sistine said, waving both her hands towards them.
"Sister, accept this as an offering to the gods." Leona took out and handed a cloth packet containing money to the sister.
Sister Sistine took the bag and smiled. "May God bless you all."
Bidding farewell, Bastian and his family started walking towards the church door and went to the harbor while their guard followed them.

When Bastian and his family were on their way back to the port, a voice was suddenly heard from a distance.
"Advance Spell: Dinsion!"
Bastian and Leona were shocked to hear this; the city view began to turn grey like they were in a room isolated from the outside world. And the guards brought by Bastian were missing.
The pursuer has shown up.
System, analyze this spell.

Advance spell. So it must be the 2nd wizard.
We have a mixed 1st class and 2nd wizard here.
We have an advantage, but I'm sure the enemy would bring more people.
Three shadows ca out from the ground and ford the body structure of the person. The three people were wearing black clothes and masks, making it hard to recognize them.
"After three years, you finally appeared, forr noble Leona, hahaha." A different voice was heard through the dinsion that made Bastian and Leona even more alert.
If my family dies here, I'll be dead, too, which ans they must be here to eliminate as a potential threat.
Desmond's expression was calm, but his mind was looking for many ways to survive this situation.
System, record the battle and....
