Ever since Ken was 4 years old and began his training, People acknowledged him as a genius. When he reached 1st realm 6th stage when he was only 6 years old, Everyone acknowledged him as a talented person who will have a great future.
Ken was more mature than other kids and quickly realized how the childrens are being used as puppets for future connections.
As he was part of one of the strongest familys, His family didn't really care if Ken would interact with other kids at all.
Every week or so a different family would appear and try to befriend Ken and his family.
Ken hated it and would never respond to other kids at all. The reason was not only because they are being used as puppets but also because of how arrogant this kids are when they interact with other familys. Slowly but surely ken began to be arrogant as well But, for him the arrogance was that of strength and not that of wealth. Everytime he would meet someone, Unless that guest is stronger than him or at the same strength Ken would ignore him.
Ever since ken was 4 years old people only praised him, Because of that ken was sure that no one that is in his age and rank would ever appear.
------ Back to HQ-------------------------------------------------------------
When Rex result was shown on the screen, Ken had to look twice and still doubted if it was real, On ken face for two seconds appeared a suprised face before he calmed down and his face returned to normal. ken was not the only one who was suprised, At that moment everyone were having hard time to believe that result as well.
On the face of almost everyone appeared a face of disbelief. Everyone was aware of the talent Ken had, People said his talent appears only once in one thousand years and yet, someone else appeared in the exact same generation as him with the exact same rank! If you were to describe Rex appearance it would be "Average", If someone tried to guess what Rex rank is they would never believe that his rank is beyond the 2nd realm and yet he is. In Ken mind the name Rex Rea made him think of his arrogance and caused a change in him, No longer he will be arrogant about his strength because that if he found someone of his rank at this place, There must be others that may be even stronger.
When he will return home today his family will exprience a new person.
Rex went out of the field and decided to stroll in the city while he is waiting for the end of the first exam.
It turns out that every stage of the exam will take place for every day for a total of of three days.
The Association provides a room for the examinees to sleep so no problem in that area. Rex planned to go for the monster estimation company.
When rex checked the silver wolf value he got ??, The reason for that is the rariry of meeting a monster in any race who is stronger then the others of his race. When he entered the shop there was a big bulky male with a scar on his left eye behind a desk.
greeting him The bulky male said " Welcome, What can i do for you kid?".
Rex took out the wolf skin and showed to him and explained what happend in the forest.
"Please wait here i am going to check it". To understand the value of something the most important thing is the demand of the product. It does not matter how rare something is, if there is no demand for it you will not earn.
The second thing he will check is the value of something similar in rank, 2nd realm 8th stage in that case.
When the bulky male heard about the story of the wolf he found it hard to believe, After all someone who looks so young and can defeat a monster at the peak of the 2nd realm is unheard of, But was not in the place to ask or rather he really didn't care. "Alright kid, Based on what i checked the value i can give you for that wolf is 500 silver".
Rex really did not really care for money so he accepted that without even considering .
When he talked to the " Info giver", The name he gave to the female who told him where to go for the exam, She told him that his room is in the 100th floor, Room number 291 but did not give him a key. Rex did not understand why she did not give a key when suddenly a thought came to his head. The association never said that for each student they will give a room so probably there is more then one person per room. Rex walked towards his room and opened it, He was very suprised of what he saw. A huge room with three beds. Rex looked towards the beds and saw someone sitting on the top bed looked at him, That guy jumped from the bed down and walked towards rex, extended his hand and said "Nice to meet you, My name is John" Rex responded with: "Nice to meet you as well, My name is Rex". Since rex was not so sure how to respond to that he just copied what john said to him.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Rex asked john "What is your rank?" and john responded with "2nd realm 2rd stage". If rex is not wrong then the other one who will sleep with them will be Ken, This room is too big to give to every examinee so it probably is for S Grade.
In the morning when rex woke up he saw ken and john getting ready to leave to the second exam, So he got ready as well and went to the field once again.
9:00 AM--------------------
"Welcome to the 2nd stage of the exam. As you noticed yesterday, you were not sleeping alone. There is a reason for that, When people graduate from school and become part of the guild they usually stick with a team. In order to have an equal position in their group, we placed you with people that are about the same level as you. One of the things you will be tested on in school will be on team work, Teamwork can save your lives so don't forget it. This is the pratical stage, You are arranged into 10000 groups of 3, You will get transported into one of the beginner forests and your mission will be to kill a monster and present it to the examiner. Your grade will be given based on your rank. For example, if a 2nd realm 2nd stage group will kill 2nd realm 1st stage, they would not get A but rather B, After all they are much stronger than that and they will need to prove that using teamwork they can defeat a monster stronger than them".
Beginner forest, What does that mean is simple. Hunters explored the new world for a lot of time and they graded each forest with ranks based on the difficulty, Beginner forests are 1st realm 1st stage - 2nd realm 9th stage, Normal are 3rd realm - 4th realm, Advanced is 5th realm - 6th realm , Expert is for 7th realm and 8th realm and irregular forests can even have have any realm up to 10th realm. The forest rex trained in was in fact an irregular forest. To explain how irregular forests can even be we first need to understand why there is different ranks in differents forests.
The simple way to understand is taking the example of humans, Humans conquered lands in order to make their living place larger, Since they were stronger they had more place to live in and was happier. Monsters who are for example 3rd realm are much stronger then 2nd or 1st realm so naturally they will kill anyone who is weaker than them in order to take their place and expand their territory. What if suddenly in the forest a 9th realm monster appears who decides to not allow others to kill inside their forest?. This is when irregular forests can happen , you just need a smart animal to rule the others.
----------------------- 1 hour later
Rex,Ken and john are right in the middle of the forest fighting 2nd realm 2nd stage monsters. Even though they are not that much stronger then them in rank they are easily killing them. Rex decided to not use any 3rd realm attack because he knew Ken and john are not stupid and they will notice what is going on, It is not time yet to reveal his ability to use things one realm above him.
Rex saw John standing in front of something, He walked to john put a hand on his shoulder and asked "What is going on?"
He looked at what is in front of john.
"Identify", Rex said.
Name : Lighting TigerRank: 3rd realm 7th stageValue : ??
John ken and rex looked at each other with suprise, Unknown value in the database. They were not stupid, they realized that this one is so rare that there is no value of him in the market. "I will give you one second, If you dont get out of here you will die'".
Rex was shocked, A monster able to communicate with humans. Rex became much more careful then before, He did not expect something like that to appear, This monster is dangerous Rex felt. The tiger did not give them time to respond, he disappeared and appeared behind john instantly, Rex barely saw that and quickly screamed " JUMP BACK" but, It was too late, John head already disappeared.
