Kyle and I got the scolding of our life. I got my feet checked and scolded yet again. Healerguy also tried to do other tests on me but nothing came out of it but he was convinced that there was something wrong with me.


    “Your blood sugar seems low.”  I’m hungry.


    “I saw you snack quite a lot not too long ago.”  Do we really have to do this every time you encounter me?


    “Yes, because with how you’re going around there might not be a next time if I don''t make sure you’re not secretly falling apart. Now how about this, I don''t detect any residual mana on you but why are all these metal objects pointing at you?  I’m attractive.


    He tried to touch me and a silver spark zapped him. “Ouch, what in the world is going on with you?”  I am just a bit charged that''s all.


    “You make me feel stupid, I have no clue what is going on with you.”  I am healthy, now can you let me go?


    “On those feet? No, let''s get you a wheelchair just in case, it will also cut your mobility down so that I can keep an eye on you.”  But I can walk… What’s wrong with Thalia by the way?


    “A classic case of being star struck. She is just processing a lot of things, give it some time.” I didn''t realize that encountering a demigod would be a shock to her. I did know she was interested in immortality but to encounter one that soon after must have been a shock for her. I will give her some space to work things out.


    My wheelchair came.  Come on! I thought you were joking!


    “You can stay in this wheelchair for a week or I will send an alert to all Golden Angels to give you a check up on sight.”  Ugh, fine! Just a week, right?


    “Good. You can bring him away, now bring in Kyle.” I got rolled out and Kyle got dragged in.


    “Guys there is nothing wrong with me!” Kyle was resisting.


    “You have trained under Agnis, you are bound to take over some of his traits, we will decide if something is wrong with you. Now take off that donkey suit” Kyle sent me a glare and I stuck out my tongue.


    <hr>


    I got rolled into the lounge.


    “Oh, there you are!” I tried to roll away on my wheelchair but I got caught. “Where are you going? My Daddy is here, come meet him.”  What have I done to deserve this?  I got rolled upstairs into a special room.


    Yoo Vice Daddy, you seem to be greyer than the last time we met.


    “And you seem to be less mobile than the last time we met. I extend my utmost gratitude for saving Tania.”  Tania?


    “My daughter…”  I was just testing your memory.


    “She’s my daughter… Anyways, I do realize Esher had a great role to play but he also mentioned your name, as did my daughter. I have known you for a while but to think you could also use lightning, people are full of surprising.”  Huh?


    “Tania told me everything, she seemed to be excited for some reason that she found someone that could teach her lightning magic.”  Wowowowo! I never agreed to that! I’m a busy man!


    “Hmm I see, that makes sense, you disappear for years to appear in the middle of a mess, I guess you have a lot of unresolved issues, Sorry Tania we will have to find someone else.”


    “Aww, you should have seen it Daddy, he might be the strongest lightning user on the continent!” This chick was bragging about me as if I was her brother or something.


    Hey come on there is no proof for that, no need to put me on a pedestal.


    “Uhm, Agnis, you do know that the current strongest lightning attack is red lightning and that''s questionable because a year ago, 2 orange lightning pillars have been spotted near Itris. So does silver come after orange?”  Ehhh. not really. What you saw was white lightning! Yes, white lightning!


    Tania created white lightning that clearly looked different than what I used. “What you used didn''t look anything like this, tell me! I need to know how far I am from you!”  Uh, well there is purple then red then orange then black then silver.


    “Can you show me?!”


    "Calm down Tania, do you want him to blow up the whole office? And moreover, look at him he’s in a wheelchair, cut him some slack!”


    “When are you getting out of your wheelchair?!” This chick was getting really annoying.


    “Tania!”


    “Ok…”  Heh, Daddy’s girl.  She tried to react but Vice Daddy stopped her.


    “Anyways it has been a while since we last spoke. You haven''t taken any missions since 2 days ago in… Saluk… how did you… you know what never mind, you did have a decent amount of gold that the association was holding for you so this isn''t surprising. So now we have a problem.”  Oh?


    “You are C rank but all these achievements that got reported to the association… you need a promotion.”  Uh, I don''t want to do any tests.


    “Oh, don''t worry you don''t need anything we already bumped you to B-rank, you do need one for A-rank however but you can take that one whenever you feel like it.”


    “Heh! I will be S-rank soon! Try to keep up!” Daddy''s girl was bragging again. I''m sure she abused her daddy''s power.


    “Now we have to solve the problem of you not having an adventure name, Tania had a great suggestion based on what you told her.”  Eh?


    “We decided that your adventurer name is Silver Torrent, and although Kyle is quite new Tania suggested...” He looked at a file. “Toxic Donkey… Hey, Tania are you sure this is correct?”  Hahahaha! Yeah! That is correct! I will take that name I like it and Kyle would be happy.


    “Alright, well that will be made official in an hour. So now about your role.”  What about it?


    “So, I was thinking about that assessment we had years ago. And you don''t seem injured besides your feet which I doubt was done by an enemy. You don’t get hit often or at all do you? And as Tania kept complaining, it didn''t feel like anything she would do worked on you. So, I had a conversation with Jerome, ehh the President a while ago. Crowd control is extremely rare because it is tricky to execute and even if it gets used it rarely is successful. It is known to be useless just as water magic and you have shown that both are far from useless. So how about this? You get a new role that focuses on crowd control and shutting opponents down. And since you are the first one the role name will be Silver Torrent.”


    “Ooh, Daddy! I like that, It only makes sense that my rival achieves at least this!”  Hey! Since when are you my rival? And I have the feeling that you guys already decided this…


    “I guess we couldn''t fool him, Daddy.”


    “Yeah, Jerome, Tania, and I have quite a liking to you, we expect great things from you!”  I have a question. Can you bump Ky… Toxic Donkey up to C rank? He will just waste time doing uhm, no offense, shitty missions to climb to there even though he could easily wipe out a group of cultists.


    “Uhh, normally we don''t do this but we can make an exception. Now excuse me I have to prepare several things for the upcoming S-rank assessment. Will you be spectating?”  Probably not, I’m sorry, I have some issues to attend to.


    “So busy, you will probably have achieved much more the next time I see you. Take care, I heard some concerning things from Rubert, please be careful.” I nodded at Vice Daddy and rolled out of the office. I wanted to take the elevator but it was full. I looked at the stairs. This shouldn''t be hard right?


    <hr>


    I messed up and Healerguy is scolding me again. “I need to check your head for brain damage again! Which idiot takes the stairs while in a wheelchair?!”  Hey, you told me to stay in the wheelchair!


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    “I didn''t tell you to do stupid things with it! No brain damage, unbelievable!”  I’m telling you I’m healthy!


    “Human positive… hey you can tell me if you’re an alien or something else. I was sceptical at first but now I don''t believe for a second that you’re a human, any other human would''ve… died a long time ago.“  I''m a caged bird.


    “... forget it, it was na?ve to think I could get an answer out of you that makes sense. Go! I’m getting a headache!” I rolled out of the sick bay.


    “And take the damn elevator!” The elevator was full again. I looked back and Healerguy was watching. I decided to wait for the next elevator.


    <hr>


    “Hahaha which idiot takes the stairs with a wheelchair!” Kyle was making a scene by being an asshole and rolling on the floor laughing.  Ha, let’s see who has the last laugh! Any moment now.


    An announcement got made. Something appeared on the screen and it was an update of my profile. A lot of people seemed amazed and even more when a new role got made.


    “Holy shit you created a new role, is it the I’m-a-pain-in-the-ass role?” Kyle seemed to have fun until his update appeared.


    “Wait what?! Toxic Donkey?!” People were amused with this name. “You! What did you do!” I was trying my best to hold in my laugh but he was still in his donkey onesie so this made it even more funny.  Hahahaha!


    “I need to change this!” Then the update came that he became C-rank. “Wait, C-rank? Doesn''t that mean it''s harder for me to change my name now?!”  Hahaha, yeah, aren''t I generous? Hahaha!  I laughed so hard that I fell out of my wheelchair.


    Hey, Kyle imagine, when you become the best assassin, the world has ever seen, they will change the Silent Night role name to Toxic Donkey! Hahaha!  Some people were weirded out by me laughing, others were laughing too, and some seemed concerned.


    “My life… is over…” Kyle dramatically dropped to his knees but the donkey suit made it even more comical. My belly started to hurt and I needed air.


    “What is going on here? Oh my god, Agnis again?!” Healerguy lifted me into my wheelchair. “Huh, you hardly weigh anything.”  Uh oh.


    “Right back to the sickbay you go!”  Nooo!  I saw a smile on Kyle’s face that I didn''t like.


    <hr>


    I was in healer jail. I wasn''t allowed to leave until they knew what was up with me. Healerguy used his connections and brought 2 well-known Golden Angels here. His daughter was here too.


    “Hey there, it seems you did something crazy again.”  All I did was troll Kyle…  Thalia was here too; she came running after hearing that I got sent to the sickbay for the third time today.


    “I heard the good news! And the bad news, what did you do this time?”  I didn''t do anything! Oh, have you heard? Kyle’s adventurer name is Toxic Donkey! Hahaha.  I saw a smile but it vanished almost immediately.


    “Are they trying to find out what you are?”  Don''t worry they won''t find out, but there are some traits that are indeed hard to hide like my weight…


    “Your weight?”  Try lifting me up.  She seemed hesitant but lifted me up and almost threw me in the air.


    “Wow! Is this why you can move so fast?”  I don’t think so, I could move fast even when I had a normal weight.


    “So, it decreased over the years, you know that this just makes me even more envious right?”  Sorry.


    Healerguy and a healer chick came in.


    “Right, we’re going to be blunt here, we have no clue what is going on with you, the only thing we know is that for some reason your cells have an extremely small weight which makes you ehh light, but this doesn''t account for everything. You should weigh about 20kg if our calculations are correct but you weigh more like…” He looked at a file. “2.5kg… We also noticed that your cells seem to refuse to obey gravity as other matter does… we have no idea what this means. Are you sure you''re not an alien?”  I’m quite human, besides that stuff. was anything else off?


    “No… just your abnormally high heat resistance.”  So, besides some weird things, I’m a human, doesn''t that mean I’m just that? A human?


    “Normally yes but there are some things that are just… consistent, like how gravity affects you and stuff… Maybe you’re a new species of human but it has not been discovered yet. Me and my colleagues will do some more research.“  Uh, Good luck.  Thalia rolled me out to another part of the sickbay; I still couldn''t get out.


    “Won''t they find out if they keep researching?”  Nah if there is one thing you can trust a 9t on is its ability to deceive, also whatever samples he has of me will self-destruct soon. After I found out that my blood can grant immortality or at least longevity I’m not taking any chances. I will have some fun sending him on wild goose chases and then it will self-destruct.


    “I see.”  Are you alright? You have been acting strange since we returned.  She rolled me into the room that was reserved for me. It had a warning on the door for other healers and people who work here to not let me go and keep an eye out on me. A mean-looking woman was keeping an eye out on me.


    “I just got shocked. I thought I knew what beauty was but I was wrong. You shook my world, in more than one.”  Uhh, sorry I didn''t do that on purpose.


    “I know, but thanks to you I know that I was a frog in a well.”  We 9t have something similar it goes: The spirit salmon that challenges the spirit fox will end up on a dinner plate. It''s similar to the frog in the well or showing someone his place.


    “Spirit salmon, I’ve never heard of that.”  It’s tasty but they get arrogant if they get too old and start disturbing their environment and that''s where we come in! We eat them and the other water creatures can relax again.


    “Does that mean their numbers are getting out of control?”  Uhh, possibly but I haven''t encountered one yet and I''ve spent a lot of time in and around water so hopefully it''s not that bad.  Thalia hugged me.


    “I… I’m sorry. I need some space, I get too distracted around you, and my drive to reach my goal gets weak when around you.”  I’m sorry.


    “Don''t be, you''re doing nothing wrong. I also need to prepare for the S-rank assessment. I have a lot to do, and seeing you fight underwater gave me a lot of ideas I need to work on.  How far are you from changing the role name?


    “Well, the Grumpy Blowfish made his name 50 years ago so he already has passed away and he got to S rank, so if I surpass S rank I will reach my goal, it’s just hard to get past S rank, not many reach it and those that do hit a wall.”  But you could also pull a very impressive feat right? I think the most recent role name is Silent Night because of something he did. Too bad that the role name will soon change to Toxic Donkey.


    “Yeah, there are only two roles that have never changed name, Golden Angel, which has been standing for 436 years since the Adventurer’s Association''s inception, and Crimson Eagle which is held by a witch, and that witch is very much alive so it is unlikely that someone would beat a witch after so many years. I want that when I change the role name that it will be almost impossible for anyone else to change it and immortalize my name!”  Well, you''re young and beautiful, I doubt anyone will be able to compete when it comes to it. Grumpy Blowfish reached S rank, probably shortly before he either retired or died. You’re 18 and practically already an S rank. There is no way you won’t succeed.


    “Thank you.” Thalia played with the ruby pendant she was wearing.


    “My goal after that is even harder. You won''t forget me, right?”  I hope I won''t, I don''t make it a habit to forget important people.


    “Important people.” Thalia smiled. “Alright let''s break you out of this healer jail. I want to spend a fun night with you, I will have to start focusing from tomorrow onwards.  Hmm, my feet feel fine, alright, want to join me for a run? I haven''t shown you my home.


    “I’ll be delighted.” Sneaking out of this place was easy. Not sure if they truly believed that they could keep me here. I carried Thalia in the cool night breeze. I showed her my home and the waterfall. The jungle and stuff. We played some pranks on the jungle dragons and then we visited Vinny.


    “Finally! He finally has a girlfriend! I’m so happy for you!”


    “I’m not his girlfriend, yet. So, you are Vinny, I’ve heard about you.” She was happy to meet another immortal. We talked and some adventures of mine came to light. Unfortunately, I had to bring Thalia back to Gittrian.


    “Where will you go after this?’  I will drop Toxic Donkey off in Texiha and from there on I don''t know. Probably polish all my skills even more I have 4 more months before I plan to go for the next thing.


    “What will that be?”  Improve my sword skills, I haven''t held a sword in almost forever and improve my blacksmithing. These go hand in hand because I want to make a specific type of sword. Maybe I should spend these 4 months hunting materials down.


    “Multitalented and hardworking, I like that, I hope you reach all your goals!”  You too!  I arrived at Gittrian at 4 in the morning. I dropped Thalia off at her room and I snuck back in healer jail.
