“Now try to control your speed by moving fast then slow,” Clay ordered Kane and the latter tried to do just what the man asked him to do.Kane used varying speeds as he walked closer to Clay. It was hard at first but because he had been practicing for two hours to use his mana to speed up and slow down, he was slowly getting the hang of it. He used full speed and then came to a full stop which almost made him tumble down. He let out a sigh of relief as soon as he got back his balance.“You did it!” Clay laughed as he patted Kane’s back. “Now you’ll survive the dungeon no matter what happens.”“What are you talking about?” Kane glared at him. “The rookie dungeon was supposed to be easy and I am an S-Class.”“Don’t let that Class get into your head, Kane. No matter how strong you are and no matter how harmless a dungeon could be, we can never tell what might happen. We just

Kane went home dejected. Though he had a learning experience, he regretted that he made the wrong choice at such a crucial moment. Cyrus was right. If that was not for training, he would have died.  Not just him, he would have dragged the others to their death as well. He should not be complacent that his skill training was going well. The dungeons were a lot more dangerous than he thought. He went directly to the bathroom to wash since his body was sticky from the sweat and the dust that came from the dungeon. Under the shower, he visualized the things he did and thought of the actions that he should have taken. Instead of splitting the hatchling into two, he should have shattered it to pieces. However, he was not sure if he was strong enough to do something to that extent. Once again, he gathered his mana and spread it throughout his body. He could feel his mana circulating but he really felt as if something was missing. He felt like a chick struggling to brea

As they go deeper into the forest, the stronger the pack that they encountered. They all had the chance to test how effective their abilities were when it came to teamwork and individual strength. Kane realized that maybe he was just a big fish in a small pond, or maybe he was afraid of the monster within him and he was unconsciously restraining himself. No matter what his reason could be, it would not erase the fact that his performance was unsatisfactory by his own standards. He was able to defeat the wolves, but he had to exert more effort compared to when he killed the assassins sent for him. “Is this the last pack?” One of the rookies asked when he saw another pack surrounding them. In front of the pack was a wolf bigger than the others and it had a moon sign on its forehead. Kane concluded that the bigger wolf must be the alpha and the others along with it were all stronger than those wolves that they hunted before. “Be careful of the alpha wolf

It had been days since Kane’s death and Erin found herself in front of her friend’s apartment. She sighed when she realized that they needed to clear up Kane’s things because the apartment owner decided to rent it to someone else after knowing that Kane died.“Are you here to help me with the clean-up?” Xander asked as soon as he arrived. “I managed to convince the Vasquez family and they let me do the clean-up of Kane’s belongings.”Erin nodded her head. Though it had been days, Erin could not still get over the fact that Kane had died. He was not someone too strong, but she trusted that Kane would be able to protect himself since he became an S-Class.But it seemed like Kane dreaded being an S-Class too much that she did not use her S-class ability to protect himself. Was his anger much more valuable than his life?“Let’s get this over with.” Xander took out the key to Kane’s apartm

Kane along with Ari searched for the panther after they defeated all the smaller monsters in the area. They went deeper into the forest and stopped in their tracks when they saw a cave with drops of blood from the outside to the inside.The blood started from a nearby tree and it went continuously towards the inside of a cave. Ari stopped Kane from going inside the cave and signaled him to not make any sound. If the blood started from somewhere nearby, there was a possibility that the thing inside the cave was a predator who attacked its prey right outside the cave.Kane looked closer to the tree where the drops of blood started and he scoffed when he noticed the black fur mixed in with the blood. There were only two conclusions: it was either the panther was the predator or the panther had been the prey of a bigger monster.“That is a panther’s fur,” Ari commented when she saw what Kane was looking at. “Do you think it was that panther&r
