(By Seno Malikas)
When I opened my eyes, I felt the warmth of the fire, and the crackle of wood.
Woke up at last?
Ah.. yes. How it all ended.
Well, you were able to kill the wolf. And what about the result, better see for yourself.

- Wow. Cool. Ah... did I hit a sub-rank?
- If it says so, then it is so.
- Listen, what should I do next when I hit the sub-rank. From what you said earlier, am I ready to break through to the first rank?
- Yeah, and that's why I should take you this.
Mark held out the core of the wolf. From which the girl's eyes widened to the limit.
- How... from where, where did you get it?
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
- Do you remember that wolf that you were able to defeat.
- Yes Yes.
- Well, it looks like it was intended for you as a test.
"Honestly, I myself am a little scared of this support from the world. For each participant, the world will issue a test. But here's the catch, in case of failure, the end is the same - death." Dante thought.
- And now, take and hold the core in one hand, and put the other hand on the heart. Imagine that the core is a decanter, and the water from it slowly flows into your heart.
Do it slowly, I advise you to start with sighs, it's easier to create a rhythm. Each exhalation add effort, and on inhalation, weaken the flow of manno.
- It's clear.
Leaning on a tree, Seno took a comfortable position and began to do everything according to Mark's instructions.
Inhale, exhale.
Inhale, exhale.
"I feel the warmth running from my hand to my heart. It seems to know the way, but when you deliberately bring manno to the heart, it accelerates. As I breathed in, I loosened the flow. It was easy, just a thought. As I exhaled, I accelerated the movement."
"Surprisingly, this technique only made everything easier, it was like a swing. When he stopped, the blood seemed to draw manno from the body. And when moving, it flowed so fast that it was even scary. But it was a very comfortable feeling."
"Yay, yay. A burning sensation began to the right of the heart. It was a little scary, but I decided to go all the way."
Forty minutes later, Seno opened her eyes.
[Congratulations on breaking through to the first rank]

- Incredible. I did it. Boouurng (sound of rumbling belly)
- Congratulations. You are doing great. Okay, so let's eat.
"From awkwardness and silence, I wanted to find a hole in which I could hide. Luckily, we didn't discuss it."
Tell Mark, what was that tingling feeling to the right of the heart.
- Ah, my fault. I forgot to say that when you get the first rank, you will create a manno core.
- Boouu, not cool Mark, fine heart.
This made us both laugh.
By the way, Mark, I have a question.
- Shoot.
- And how did I end up in your room as soon as I arrived?
- Oh, a bit of a strange story.
- When I was training, an unfamiliar she-wolf ran into my room. Having forced me out of the room, she took me to the reconnaissance detachment. One of them had you in their arms.
He handed you over to me with the words, then you know what to do. You are human.
- Yes, yes, I had the same face, in the end I had no choice but to check you for wounds. And after making sure that you're just unconscious, I decided to give you time to wake up.
- Something like that.
- Fu, well, and dregs. Tell Mark what do you think about the quiet night. Recently, there has been a buzz around this topic in the world chat.
- I think you better get ready, because it's better not to play with fire.
- I think so too.
After chatting like this for another half an hour, they both returned to the village.
