Raymond was only waiting a few months until his 14th birthday. His family held a small celebration with his friends and some close neighbors. He was happy about it and enjoyed his birthday, as it only comes once a year.

He truly loves this life. It was as if his wishes from the past were now fulfilled. Well, indeed, this life was already fulfilled since his family and friends were around him.

He was never hungry for love. He was full of it and received much more than he wanted. But there was still one thing that he was happy about. This year, his stairs would be formed.

He was afraid and angry because his memories showed that this family was trampled by someone who had a position in the village. However, as he had come prepared, he was dedicated to taking revenge, or it would be appropriate to call it a play.

Revenge would not be funny if the other party didn't know their mistakes. And so, it would be a play since it was fated that their family was already corrupted.

He didn't hate them; he was only angry because of the memory. But even still, it was only a memory, and the flow of events could be changed. He didn't care.

This person trampled on his sister's dignity, and even though there was a possibility that it could be fixed easily, it was too late.

Rebecca had a stalker that started when Raymond was 10 years old. Raymond only learned it from his memories when he was 14 years old. But now that he already knew it before the event of revelation, nothing could be too amusing if he made his first move.

But he should wait. Patiently, he waited for this person to make a wrong move.

***

Raymond was alone in his room, meditating. He was feeling the mana and doing the routine he always did. Embrace them and absorb them. Even if it was only a small portion as his talent wasn't still available, doing nothing was the most regrettable thing.

Raymond never forgets his physical training. Apart from MP raising training, he also practices his forms. His father would teach him a few tricks for dodging monsters' attacks. And later on, he caught up with the hunters, who were 2 years older than him.

"Wow... you son is really talented, Senior Rudy." One junior of Raymond's father praised Raymond.

Rudy had a smug face as he faced this junior of his.

"Of course, he is a genius that came after me."

After using the special practice venue, they would train in the basic practice venue. Even though it was risky, his mother permitted it since she already knew how dependable Raymond was.

He was also responsible. She already felt that Raymond was starting to mature since the day that he started fetching water for them.

As a result, she allowed them to practice at the basic venue.

The monsters in this venue were pure monsters. They were captured and hid inside a part of the village to reproduce. And later on, they would use this venue to train their hunters. But as it was called a "practice venue," the monsters present weren't that gravely dangerous since everyone uses the venue to practice.

"But may I ask, Senior Rudy, why did you let your son practice here? It is dangerous, right?"

Rudy awkwardly scratched his nape as he answered the question.

"Well, my son here asked for it. He wanted to face a real challenge to become a stronger person. I was even having second thoughts before and was doubtful because he was still unawakened. But knowing how dependable he has been since he was born, I let him."

It was only a subjective sentiment of Rudy's; the reason why he let Raymond practice in such a dangerous place wasn't that acceptable to others. But since Raymond had already showcased his talents in front of other hunters, they believed what Rudy said.

"Uhm... Father, I would go to that part of the forest. Can I?" Raymond asked as he pointed in a direction.

"Yeah, sure. Just use the emergency button if you encounter any dangerous monsters." Rudy noted.

Raymond nodded and left them instantly. He still had his sword and he decided to become a close-quarter fighter since it was more convenient for him. Even others would tell him to become one.

Without any other interest, Raymond had been holding a sword for about a year now.

"Grahhh..."

Raymond heard the cry of a monster from afar. He then prepared himself to attack. After the monster dashed in his direction, Raymond performed an attack with the variable presented to him.

The monster was common, a huge boar. It was only for level one inside the special practice venue, but outside it was level two as it had good agility.

It could dodge, but since Raymond had already learned its patterns, he could easily kill it with a few slashes.

Raymond's clothing was splattered with blood. After a few hours of hunting, his clothes were so wet with blood that he got his clothes so red.

"Raymond, what happened to you? It looked like you were bathing in a pool of blood." A senior of his made a remark.

Raymond only snickered, then nodded. "Indeed, I bathed in a pool of blood. I killed 3 monsters, but since they were heavy, I only left them with marks. Please help me to take care of it."

"Oh sure!"

They were about to go back to where Raymond left the corpses, but before they could, Raymond was called by his father.

"What is it, father?" He approached his father after asking for a short time from his senior.

"It is about your sister." His father started talking in a low tone. Just by hearing it, Raymond already had an idea of what it was, and as he anticipated, his eyes were secretly flickering.

"What about sister Rebecca, father?" Raymond asked.

Rudy let out a sigh and said, "She had some arguments with the son of the squad commander of the special unit. Apparently, in their arguments, it was said that your sister slapped and kicked the senior's son's eggs."

Raymond almost scoffed, but he suppressed it and faced his father with a serious face instead.

"Father... we should probably go now. I think it is better if you ask for leave. Even if it is only a practice venue, the time of your job is still important."

"Yes... go home first. I will ask for the leader to give me leave for this day."

"Yes, father. I will be going."

As Raymond left his father, his system was already chuckling in delight.

"What a stupid, moronic maggot he is..." A grin just emerged on Raymond's lips.

I don't know what the reason is, but I feel like something was going on behind my back."However, Raymond already knew it, and he also felt that Rowena already knew it too, but she just wanted to deny the fact."Mom, I will be the one buying the ingredients today. Since I don't usually go there, maybe they won't know that I am your son." Raymond suggested that made his mother silent.Then, afterward, she sighed and said, "Alright. Here's the list. I am sorry for bothering you over this matter, Raymond. You have already worked too much, and you haven't even rested for the day.""It is okay, Mom. I'll be going."Raymond went to the marketplace, and fortunately, he had no complications with buying the ingredients. After that, he

Raymond then sincerely said.Sir Hones smiled but afterward became confused about how Raymond knew him. He then asked, "Do you know me? I don't have any recollection of meeting you in the past..."Sir Hones was awkward about it, but Raymond lifted the atmosphere, seemingly making it lighter than earlier. He pointed to Sir Hones's muscles."How would I not know you, Sir Hones? I heard that among the practical teachers and among those who do physical teaching, you are the most handsome and have the best body of them all.""Such flattery..." Sir Hones muttered, but then suddenly became serious. "I don't remember being recognized like that. Even though I liked it, I am serious. How did you know me?"

    The three noble children were flabbergasted by Raymond's reply. They went silent, intently looking at him with their wide eyes. Then one of them spoke up about their demands."You do really want to go the hard way, commoner. Even if you have an A-grade, you are still a commoner, so you have to listen to us."Just as this person said, everyone was surprised. The other students came to a halt and began prying on the scene. They were loud at the time, and that was why they were grabbed onto the scene. However, what they could notice was that, no matter how infuriated the noble children were, Raymond remained calm and unbothered by their tantrums."Hey, commoner. Even if you are backed by General McWorthy, you don't have the right to ignore nobles. That doesn't mean that you are equal to us, even if you are an A-grade.""He is right.

    "Ah, no, it is a casual question, it is not the actual question."Raymond smiled and nodded. "Will I have more points if I answer your question?"Kian was speechless, as were Raymond's classmates. They blankly looked at Raymond with disbelief because of his blunt words. He just blurted it out, and it ended up being an absurd question.Kian had a gap in his lips and he slightly gave an answer, which he was not sure was needed."You will have more points."Raymond was overjoyed. "Yes!" Then he faced Kian. "Okay, teacher, you may now ask me another question.""Does an awakened person have only one Talent?""No, because there is a second awakening and a third awakening. The second awakening mostly happens when the person has already mastered their Talent and has two pure Skills out of it. Meanwhile, the third awakening is so rare that no one could tell when they would awaken again.""And what is the use of the sphere? Can they just use it again and awaken if they like?

    Reputation was important for individuals who wanted to establish their names in an organization or environment. Hence, Raymond thought that what if he showed that he was not an easy person to approach? So, on the first day of the academy, it was already clear that his batchmates would be looking at him. It was already that much to think of, as his face was already in public. However, what was not widely known in the public was his attitude. Hence, for the whole two years under the academy, Raymond intended to use his attitude as the major factor for getting people to give him space. But the question was, why would he put much effort into having his own space? 'It is already obvious that the plot changed. Hence, the difficulty changed to the point that it would be difficult for me to filter things out. So, instead of letting other people unintentionally mask my vision, I would push them to have a clear path and a clear vision of what to see.' I

We are now living financially stable with the help of General McWorthy, but there is still one thing that I wanted to have."It was security for his family.

The orb was turned on, and the light indicated that the orb was starting to surge with energy to measure Raymond's grade.Five seconds passed, and everyone started to bet on what Raymond's grade could be. But they were simply underestimating him, as they had done to others.But the village elder was confused. Raymond seemed to not care about what was happening to him. His eyes were just staring at the orb with no certain expression, and that made his eyebrows raise in perplexity.'What with this kid?' he asked himself.15...Raymond already passed the 15th mark, which indicated that he was at least higher than a D-Grade. He could be C-Grade, but he passed the 20th mark as well.A B-Grade? That was amazing, and everyone's eyes flickered in amusement and excitement."Wow..."But then, they weren't expecting it.

    Awakening Ceremony [1]

    Standing in front of a wide building in the Middle District, Raymond had his eyes fixed on it where people of his age were starting to flock and enter the same building.He was nervous. But, despite the nervousness, he had excitement, too, and just looking at different people fueled it.He took a deep breath, then exhaled afterward. And as he got to continue with the flow of the people, he finally entered the building.The building was like an astrodome with unexplainable wideness. The interior had just one-story seats, and the center had a wide stage that seemed to be a stage for entertainment.Raymond assessed the things he had seen and what came into his mind about the stage was that it was for the announcement and for the one-by-one calling of the people.They were not that plentiful, in fact. There could be just hundreds of kids from lower district to higher district, but for Raymond, there were still plenty of people to attend a ceremony.Raymond fell in line and followed the ma

I did not expect that they would appear in the Middle District.""How did you know about them, Sir?" Raymond asked."I heard about the Trident Org, but I didn't know about their symbol. It was only when I asked one of my colleagues about the trident symbol."Raymond put the pieces together. It could be that he just forgot about it, but he didn't have any recollection of the Trident Org.A question then popped into his mind about how he could taunt the people who sent those assassins."Where did you put their bodies, Sir?" Raymond asked again."I put them in the higher district. The plaza there is famous for criminal executions."Raymond nodded simultaneously as he understood Gandina's explanation.When the night arrived, Raymond continued circulating his mana to improve his MP.

    After the Event

    Raymond continued his training after the incident. They were traumatized by it, but luckily, only Raymond, Rudy, and Rebecca saw it. Rowena and Lilia were safe from the traumatic memories that could scar their minds.This training plan was to rebuild Raymond's form and stance. Gandina taught him some movements, but minimally so that Raymond could master them."Use the dummy to practice the move. Continue performing it for one hundred and then do the other moves." Gandina ordered Raymond.Raymond nodded, then picked up the training sword. He then slashed a few times, his footwork included in his movement. He repeatedly performed it many, many times and then moved on to another move.Raymond continued his training until the sun was about to set. It was only by this time that he could get a rest and then prepare to return home."Sir Gandina, what happened in the investigation?" Raymond asked as he was preparing his things from the side where a slightly huge boulder was sitting.Gandina l
