Kazuki introduced himself to Mai, hoping to form an alliance with her. Mai was surprised by Kazuki's sudden approach, but after hearing his intentions.

However, their conversation was interrupted by Kazuki's childhood friend who flew towards him and hugged him from behind. She had been worried about Kazuki's sudden disappearance and was glad to find him.

However, when she noticed Mai, she became possessive and protective of Kazuki, claiming him as hers. Kazuki scolded her for her behavior and made her introduce herself properly as Aiko Takanashi.

#Harem 1: Aiko Takanashi

In the end, she decided to join with him.

Aiko was staring daggers at us

As they were getting acquainted, an announcer came to announce the rules of the exam.

The student council president, Reina Kurosaki, was also present to observe the candidates.

Everyone was awestruck by her beauty and listened attentively as she spoke. She introduced herself and revealed that she was one of the top elites of the academy.

Welcome everyone. I am the student council president. My name is Reina Kurosaki.

Kurosaki, everyone was surprised.

why?

Was Mai ignorant?

She asks Kazuki who she was

Ryusei stated that she is one of the Academy's top elite.

She asks if she knows about the monster invasion two years ago. A place invaded by thousands of monsters.

At that time we had to flee to a shelter. With a minimal food supply.

One day my father and I went to search for food because of how hungry they were. The demons noticed us and chased us. we were cornered. I attacked, they were too many.

At that moment, a powerful monster was summoned. One of the demon generals. he shot me.

My father worried hugged me. We thought we were going to die but Kurosaki Reina protected us when we thought we were going to die.

It was one-on-one with the general. Other elites also came there. They sheltered us and took us to a security camp.

It is said that she defeated the demon king general. This made her known all over the world. After that, we humans won. We won the battle, but the war isn't over yet.

Mei? How was your experience? Mai looked up with a grin, yes it was very hard for my family. Trying to feel sorrow. We had to hide at the jungle with minimal resources but somehow survived.

However, in reality, Izanagi built a barrier to prevent demons from entering the temple.

Trainee you may know me. Some of you might want to strong as me or stronger than me.

This is my crest. Crest of the Thunder deity Raijin.

Reina activated her crest.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

Just then an image of Thunder god Raijin appears.

Humans. I am Raijin God of thunder.

I hope you will join us in battle to defeat the demon lord.

So then good luck humans.

Just then, Raijin disappeared in a mist.

So Trainee are you ready to join me in my journey.

Then complete the exam and let us meet at the world magical school. I will be waiting for you there.

So then let the Trainee Exam start!!!!Everyone was impressed by her power and determination to defeat the demon lord.

Reina then wished the candidates good luck in their exam and disappeared into the mist.

The candidates were left to begin their exam, and Kazuki, Mai, and Aiko prepared to face the obstacles ahead.

1000 candidates were present.

Everyone was dropped to the location of the first exam.

# Title: Demon Hunter's Jungle Exam

The morning of the exam was cloudy and humid, the sun barely piercing through the dense canopy of trees overhead. Mai and Kazuki stood with the other candidates at the entrance to the jungle, waiting for the signal to begin. The air was tense, and the sound of shuffling feet and nervous whispers filled the air.

Suddenly, a horn sounded, and the candidates surged forward, disappearing into the jungle. Mai and Kazuki moved quickly, dodging branches and vines, and scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger. They soon came across the first magical trap, a complex puzzle that required them to navigate a series of floating platforms in a particular order to avoid being teleported to an unknown location

Mai and Kazuki worked together to solve the puzzle, their power of observation and strategic thinking serving them well. They were quick and precise, and within minutes they had navigated through the trap and emerged on the other side. They continued through the jungle, fighting off low-level demons that constantly attacked them

Mai and Kazuki found themselves working together, their friendship growing. They helped each other solve the puzzles, and their conversations were filled with laughter and fun, even in the midst of danger.

But not all candidates were so lucky. Many fell prey to the traps and the demons, and the number of candidates dwindled rapidly. As they approached the end of the exam, Mai and Kazuki found themselves among the few who had made it this far.

Kazuki told Mai that “they were the perfect team”.

“Mai agreed to it”.

Finally, they emerged from the jungle, the bright sunlight and open air a welcome relief after hours of fighting and navigating through the dense vegetation. They stood at the exit to the jungle, waiting for the results of the exam. One by one, the remaining candidates emerged, until only a handful remained.

Aiko and her friend also emerged from the dense jungle and hugged Kazuki.

Kazuki pats her head, “Good job you passed the exam”.

“I am proud of you Aiko”.

Aiko hugged Kazuki hard.

Kazuki noticed a guy with Aiko.

“Kazuki asked who that guy was”.

Aiko introduced him Daichi Ito. They were friends and so they teamed up.

“I teamed with him because you didn't with me”.

The announcer Announces:

After what felt like an eternity, the results were announced. Mai and Kazuki had passed the first exam, along with Aiko and Daichi and only a handful of others. They looked at each other, exhaustion etched on their faces, but also a sense of pride and accomplishment. They had overcome the dense jungle, the magical traps, and the constant onslaught of low-level demons, and had emerged victorious.

The second Exam

# Title: Demon Hunter's Endurance Exam

Mai, Kazuki, and Aiko had passed the first exam with flying colors, but they knew that the second exam would be much harder. They had heard rumors about the endurance test, which was designed to test their physical strength and stamina.

After a half an hour rest.

The candidates were lined up at the starting line, Each carrying a large rock. The rock was heavy, many of the candidates struggled to lift it.

“What the heck is with this rock “says Aiko.

“This is heavy. I think I am going to pass out”.

“True Aiko but this is what we came for”. Remember that

“Yes I remember and I will pass this exam”.

As the starting signal sounded, the candidates began to run. The first obstacle was a series of hurdles, which they had to jump over while carrying the rock.

Aiko was suffering a bit but Daichi helped her a lot.

Kazuki asked Mai if he is feeling hurt because of the rock.

“Yeah the rock is heavy but I can definitely cross this hurdles and reach the final exam”.

Kazuki was impressed.

The second obstacle was a steep hill, which they had to climb while carrying the rock. The hill was slippery and covered in mud, making it difficult to maintain their grip on the rock.

Everyone was struggling climbing the steep hill.

Many had given up.

They all failed to reach the top of the hill.

Kazuki and Mai were very resilient. They were going with all their might even though how difficult it was.

Aiko and Daichi were also following them.

Others seeing their dedication followed them too.

Finally they reached the top of the hill.

The third obstacle was a narrow bridge over a deep ravine. The candidates had to cross the bridge while balancing the rock on their shoulders.

Everyone fell down to the ravine because of the strain their body faced.

But Mai, Daichi, Kazuki and Aiko all completed the obstacles with few others.

Now it was a 10km run.

Everyone was running.

They felt fine but now.

As they continued, the obstacles became more challenging. There were walls to climb, pits to jump over, and narrow paths to walk on.

After enduring the grueling physical test, only 50 candidates remained to take on the next challenge.

The announcer announces that the next exam will be conducted tomorrow and told the candidates to rest.

Back at the home.

Exhausted and hungry, Izanagi longed for a good meal, but he knew that Mai, their talented chef, will not be present today.

As he lay on his bed Izanagi, felt restless. He couldn't shake off the anticipation and anxiety of the exam for Mai. He hoped that Mai was doing well, and he wished to see her again.

Suddenly, his stomach grumbled, reminding him of his hunger. He tried to distract himself by reading manga and snacking on chips, but it only made him hungrier.

"Izanagi's cooking is the best," he muttered to himself, reminiscing about the delicious meals she had cooked for him.

The old man was terrible at cooking. Last time he had attempted to cook, he had burned down the whole kitchen, causing Mai to scream at him. Izanagi shuddered at the memory.

"I can't eat this food," Izanagi muttered as he threw away the burnt toast. He decided to venture outside to find something to eat.

As he walked the streets of the city, Izanagi couldn't help but think about Mai. He wondered if she was feeling the same way as he did. He hoped she had passed the exam and was resting well.
