The forest in which the race was held was lush, with little space between the trees. The trails were narrow, and it looked like it had rained. Of course, it was artificial rain since it hadn't rained the day before. This place had been created especially for the occasion. This race felt like an obstacle course, and Fanel wondered what the real obstacle course would be like."They said the candidates can do whatever they want, the main thing is to cross the finish line in the top ten," Fanel thought to himself. He watched as the trees served as obstacles, throwing off the runners. "As I thought, no surveillance cameras. They leave us to our own devices," Fanel observed, smiling. He took a high jump, finding himself on a tree branch. Below him, the runners he had slowed down began to catch up.Sitting there, Fanel watched as each runner used trickery to hinder their competitors. "It's really unfortunate, humans are so self-centered," he remarked.The frontrunners of the race stopped to
The second round of the practical phase of the exam was about to begin. Unlike running in the forest, Fanel could not only feel cameras around him, but there were also multiple examiners. He understood it well; they were members of a special unit of the army. Fanel could understand the presence of so many people, and even Captain Travis was present, which denotes a concern for preservation. Qualified instructors were needed to supervise the event, give clear instructions, and ensure the safety of all participants.This should be their top priority during the course of this obstacle course. They have certainly analyzed that it would be more dangerous than leaving participants among themselves in the forest, each delivered to the malice of the others. Fanel sighed before focusing on the present. He thought he saw Jack and his gang being taken to the infirmary. And if he considers that no request for an explanation was made, then that was part of the test. Eliminate those least likely
Shun, the youngest swordsman in history, comes from an ancient family of swordsmen whose techniques are passed down jealously from generation to generation. Shun rose to the head of his family thanks to his prowess at the young age of 18. But he had already been talked about long before. From the age of 10, the whole world had already heard of the prowess of this genius, and of course, everyone expected him to become a hunter when the time came. However, at 15, he was not chosen by the God Hunter system. That did not prevent him from establishing a strong reputation that extends beyond ordinary mortals. Even hunters recognize him as a true prodigy of swordsmanship. Hunters who use swords in their fighting style pale in comparison to his dexterity. Despite being a mere human, his name is known to all, and his skill is legendary. Many even think that if he had become a hunter, he would, despite his young age, be an S-rank hunter, which is very rare for a hunter under 30 years old.Fan
If there is something that Fanel has never agreed to, it is people looking down on him. Even though he had to undergo this treatment every day, that didn't mean he liked it. So, now that he has the power and the means to no longer face this kind of situation, he is not going to let it happen anymore. He has chosen the shield, finding it to be the most effective weapon, especially for a novice martial artist like himself. Maybe he should delve into it since many hunters use weapons to fight.Fanel holds his shield as he sees Shun's mocking yet anticipatory gaze. "He must be thinking in his little head that he's going to crush me," Fanel thought as he established his strategy. It is simple anyway. Protect himself from Shun's sharp and undoubtedly dangerous attacks before attempting a direct frontal approach. It won't be easy because this brat has other tricks up his sleeve, but the goal here is to manage to unbalance him enough to be able to immobilize him. Why not give him a good pu
The audience was silent for a long time, unable to believe what they had witnessed. With a single punch that was hard-hitting and powerful, this guy who had come out of nowhere managed to knock out the man who was considered the equal of many even great hunters. Who was he, and why had they never heard of him?Dreai clenched her fists, staring at the screen with piercing eyes."I knew it. This guy is not normal, and I intend to reveal all his secrets." She turned, walking out of the control room, as she was no longer interested in the rest of the competition. She had other things to do, so she had no time to waste. Dreai called one of the exam judges to replace her at the control center, and she walked out of the exam center.Fanel stayed for a moment, feeling the heavy atmosphere around him. Indeed, he had already been declared the loser at the end of this fight. So, it's no surprise that everyone remains blissful at his unexpected victory. He just had an annoyed expression before wa
Fanel looked at Shun as if he were crazy. **Did I hit him a little too hard on the head and make him lose his mind?** Fanel thought as he backtracked. **I just hope it's not irreversible. This kind of madness can be permanent.**[Analysis: The system did not identify any psychological disorder in subject Shun.]"It was just a fleeting thought, don't take it seriously." [I was only trying to help relieve you of this feeling of guilt that was arising in you.]Fanel stared blankly at his system before refocusing on Shun. What was this absurd request? He was already so strong, and this was without having been touched by the God Hunter system. What kind of strength did he still want? Was he becoming too power-hungry? Fanel shook his head, deciding to leave. He had no time to waste with someone who was already recognized as the strongest among normal humans and wanted more than was necessary. It was ridiculous."Wait, where are you going? Aren't you being a little rude by turning your back
" SO?" A cold voice echoed in the dark as a young hunter kneeled before dark figures. "Don't worry. My mother has already put everything in place for me to inherit the title of clan leader. Once done, the Atori sword and the secrets of our techniques will be yours."The frontman smiled as he looked at the young hunter in front of him."Doesn't it matter to you to know that your mother is going to get rid of your big brother so coldly?"The man asked, looking amused, as the young hunter chuckled. "What? Me? Feel pity for such trash? Never. If it is true that when I was younger I admired him, when he failed or I succeeded, this respect disappeared. For me, he is only an insignificant and worthless being who tarnishes the name of the Atori."The young man spoke as the others chuckled."Furthermore, with your project, if he were still alive at that time, it is obvious that he would have become a slave like the others.""Indeed, well, go back to your family and keep me informed of everyt
Fanel arrived at his home as he was taking custody of the premises. He just received a message this morning informing him of the availability of his new apartment, and he must admit that the result is quite pleasing.It's right across from the Ministry of Rifts, and it has a good overview of the city. He can also see the headquarters of the three major guilds of Arcus, which will allow him to operate better in times of need.He closed his eyes, lying on his bed, thinking about how things were going on Shun's side. By this time, he must have already arrived home, and contrary to what he thinks, he won't get as warm a welcome as he hopes.Fanel got up abruptly before deciding to take a look at the Atori family to get an idea of the general situation.He took his interdimensional bag, in which he recovered the equipment he had made especially for this kind of case. A discreet and dark outfit allows him not only to move around without attracting attention but also not to be recognized eve
