1st June Year 2770
"Yaaaaaaaaw"
Elio woke up early in the morning day after his 5th birthday and he knew ,what today is the day when he will finally take Aptitude Test.
Since he could remember his favorite tale was that of Crusaders, how they saved humanity from extinction and how some of them still lead humanity in our days. He wanted to be like them so he was waiting for the day when he could start his road to become strong as them.
It was sunday , so his mother was cooking something nice since it was also a day off for his dad.
After morning routine he went to kitchen:
"Good morning, mom, what are you cooking?"
"Hey dear, don't worry, it's something good and i'm sure you will like it"- said Felicia while making a grin - "and i'm pretty much sure you forgot to say hello to your dad"
When Elio heard what his dad was already back home from his nightguard he ran out of the house and saw his dad repairing their fence:
"Good morning dad, mom's finishing her cooking, let's go and start eating our breakfest?"
Rodrick saw excitment in the eyes of his son and started laughing:
"Ahaha you rascal, you think i don't know what day is today? Okay, go back and tell mom that as soon as i finish this fence i'll come to eat breakfest. Also after that, get ready, we're going to HEAVEN Centre."
Elio heart started to beat very fast. Finally this day has come:
"Okay dad , be fast pleaseeeeeeee."
Elio went back to the kitchen and started eating his breakfest, after few minutes Rodrick came in and gave morning kiss to his beloved wife.:
"Hello Dear, how're you doing?" - Rodrick smiled
"Oh i'm fine Rodrick but, as you can see, our little rascal can't wait for you to finish your breakfest ahaaha"
Elio started to become red . After 15 minutes Rodrick and his son went to HEAVEN Centre.While walking in middle of the streets Elio was looking around as much his neck could allow him without breaking, he never went out this far from his house.He saw different shops , some of them were selling weapons, others were slling monster materials but no matter how much he looked around he couldn't notice them all. When he saw tavern full of soldiers and adventures covered in scard and huge weapons on their back his eye lighted up, he wanted to go there but Rodrick had his own plans.
The City was Governed by General of The Heaven Army.
Heaven Army was divided in ranks, only people who survived HEAVEN Therapy could become officers.
Bottom rank were Cadets , then Soldier and Sergeant. They were only normal human beings.
Officers are divided by ranks as well Lietenant, Captain,Major,Colonel,General.
Before the Year 2450th ranks were earned by military Achievments, then Dr. Tokizawa finally finished his research and could develop a program called Heaven Test to identify aptitude and current level of strength of examiner. So since then ranks were given only in base of aptitude and current strength.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Neapolis was built underground, the cave is quite big and if we talk about real size it's around 35 square killometers and the population of the city is around 4 million people.
Crystals radiated sunlight from ceiling so the city could grow their crops and every 16 hours crystalls would fall asleep together with the city.
Rodrick was laughing all way until HEAVEN Centre.
When they entered a young woman.
"Good Morning, Sir. How may i help you?
"Good Morning, Miss. I would like my son to take Heaven Test, do we need to wait or we can go right now?
This woman first looked at Rodrick, then at Elio.
"Sorry, there are already some people awaiting to take their tests. Actually 1 girl with her grandpa, so could you please go around thar corner and sit down on chairs nearby that family? We will call you."
Elio and Rodrick went in that direction , when they finally sat down Elio noticed a girl in front him. God if she was beatiful. Elio couldn't say a word when he started blushing. When Rodrick and Grandpa of that girl saw that they all started laughing which made the girl notice the boy in front of her.
"Hey you, what's your name? Mine is Sofia"
Elio couldn't answer her so Rodrick answered in his place.
"Hey little girl, his name is Elio, sorry, he's too embarassed to say anything.
Elio wanted to escape , he was feeling too hot.
Right at this moment young woman from Reception walked in.
"Sofia Bellador and Msr. Bellador please come with me."
Sofia and her grandpa stood up and walked in direction of the young woman.
When Sofia passed nearby Elio she stopped and looked at him.
"Elio you're my friend and my first EVER friend. Next time talk to me. Hmph"
Elio blushed even more, he never had any friends as well.
When they were finally out Rodrick said.
"Elio, you got yourself a girlfriend already, when i was your age i couldn't even dream about it aahahaha"
Elio finally couldn't hold it in.
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD"
After 10-11 minutes young woman finally walked in.
"Msr..... Ah right i forgot to ask , what are you name and surnames?"
Rodrick stood up.
"Mine is Rodrick Drakar and his is Elio Drakar. And what's your miss?"
Young woman started to write their names and surnames in blank.
"My name is Iris.I am 22 and not married, please follow me"
She walked as if she didn't say anything wrong.
Rodrick laughed though not aloud , took Elio's hand and started following Iris.
After different corridors they finally arrived to room where some kind of scanner stood.
Iris went nearby it, clicked on some kind of button then mechanical voice came out of it.
"Examinee, come to center of the room and place your hand on scanner"
Rodrick smiled at his son and pushed his son to centre, Elio's heart was beating nonstop and it seemed like most important time of his life finally arrived.
When Elio placed his hand on scanner whole room became silent.
After 30 seconds a mechanical voice started speaking.
"Aptitude None, Stength class F."
