"Dalton Von Rozental...?....Why is he here''
Grant Ballard, the report that was waiting for Eren in the parking lot said to see a familiar face in the center of the gathering.
Dalton von Rozental, the 6th son of the Rozental Family, although not as popular as his other siblings, he was quite a popular person.
Dalton is a C- rank awakener, although C-rank may seem good in the eyes of common people, the descendent of Rozental's being in the C-rank even after 8 years of awakening was shameful for the Rozental Family.
'I didn't think there would be a bigger headline than the Awakening of the Toyboy!'
It was only before a week that he got a call, informing him that Eren Rozental, the one who was famous as the toy boy of the Rozental family would be participating in next Awakener's association exam for registering himself as a Hunter.
Even though Eren is considered a worthless dog by the Rozentals, the World nonetheless deemed him as a part of Rozentals, so it was natural that any news about them would be trending.
Reporter Grant thought that it would be a major headline about his awakening, but seeing as the 6th son of the Rozental's was also there, it didn't seem like Eren would get any attention from the media.
"Seeing as how they are talking it doesn't seem to be just an attention-seeking act, what is the matter, John?"
Reporter Grant asked his cameraman who was standing beside him.
"Apparently, it seems like the appearance of another irregular!!"
'Irregular!'
Report Grant exclaimed as he heard his words,
Irregular.
An awakened person who got awakened with more than one special skill.
If nothing unexpected happened, then he would be a Hunter with tremendous growth and power. They were so rare to the point that there were only 10 Irregulars so far in the country among which only seven were combatants, so if there appeared another Irregular in the country then the attention of the whole nation would obviously shift there.
"Why don't we have information about such a huge matter then?"
The matter of Rozental's toyboy's awakening was definitely a scoop but compared to the appearance of a new irregular, it was just a gossiping matter.
"Apparently, it was revealed that he was an Irregular only after his examination this morning and more than that, both his special skills don't seem to have anything to do with combat or anything related to dungeons"
"Then...?" Reporter Grantasked him.
"He was awakened with skills called 'Animal speech' and 'Nurture', both of which are deemed ineffective on monsters, all he could do was to rear some domestic animals, We also got a call this morning about the news, but it was disregarded as it doesn't seem to make any scoop"
He patiently explained the news to the reporter Grant.
"Then why is the 6th son of the Rozentals here?"
He was still stuck in the same question about the appearance of Dalton von Rozental.
"It seems like he came here immediately after hearing the news about the appearance of Irregular to recruit him, you do know how fierce the Rozentals are when it comes to dominating new talents, right? but he gave up that thought seeing his abilities were useless and was just returning"
Now the whole thing made sense.
Whatever may happen, the scoop about Rozental's toyboy's awakening still seemed to be the hottest news. So naturally, he was happy.
"There he comes, Eren Rozental!"
Someone among the group shouted as a luxurious car was parked not far from them.
The driver came out first and opened the back door, from there descended a man with dirty bloon hair and a handsome face.
'Damn bastards! He is at least a five..no ten times better looking than that bastard standing amist the crowd'
He thought seeing Eren getting out of the car while comparing him with the Dalton von rozental.
Eren already got the gist of the things just a minute after he arrived there.
'Should I also announce myself as an Irregular?', He thought for a movement as that would be the best way to make his father-in-law turn around to look at him.
'Well, it would be more effective if the association announce it'
He thought as he imagined the surprised face that his beloved Julia would make when she found that out.
'Too bad I couldn't see it.'
Thinking so he strode towards the association entrance.
"So the reason he was here was that he wanted to recruit the new Irregular to his faction?"
He asked in a low voice still smiling at the cameras that were taking his pictures.
"He initially came here for that purpose but now that the mentioned Irregular is useless, he withdrew his offer and is returning now"
Scarlet explained what she learned in the short movement that they came down from the car.
"hmm...Ircus"
He stopped for a movement and called out to Ircus who was standing beside the car.
Ircus, as soon as he heard him, went running towards him, "Yes, Master"
"Find the Irregular that was registered today and invite him to our House"
He instructed him before continuing to walk, Now that he had some means to check out the status of a person, it wouldn't be too bad to look at it himself, who knows he may have some hidden talents or information.
'...it wouldn't hurt to see once.'
Thinking so, he was about to ignore the 6th son standing among reporters when he heard a call.
"Oh, my! Brother-in-law! you are here too"
Dalton von Rozental smiled broadly as he called out Eren. The voice was kind and filled with pleasant touch, if anyone who didn't know about them, could misunderstand that they were so close, which was the furthest away from truth.
In response to his call, Eren who was originally planning to ignore him gave a fake smile, and Scarlet who was beside Eren frowned.
There was a reason why she frowned like that!
It was because the one who constantly humiliated Eren and even beat him up sometimes(Yep! that bastard in the first chapter) was none other than him, Dalton von Rozental, the sixth son of the Rozentals.

'He wants to do both the Physical test and skill manifestation test? Usually, it's recommended to focus on only one... Is he trying to show off now? ' Joshua glared at Eren thinking that he is using the chance to show off, but Eren didn't back down, he stood his ground against the S-rank. 'Well, it's none of my business!' "Come forward, we will do your test first" Honestly, he just wanted to get done with the test and go home, He was already too tired that he didn't want to even argue with anyone.

“Do you wanna die?” “…” Dalton’s motion hardened overall and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground. It was not simply because he was frightened by the savage force exuded by the almost B-rank Awakener who appeared before him. It was because it was simply unbelievable for even an S-rank to talk like that in from of Rozental's children. ‘Did I hear it wrongly?’ He couldn’t believe it. It would have been right to say that he was speechless and his brain momentarily frozen because it was so absurd for him. The emotion that followed was of course anger. “Have you gone crazy? a mere dog raised in the family is barking against me? I told my men not to beat you much and now without thanking me for being generous, you are trying to go up against me?” Dalton beckered in anger. “Won’t you answer the question? I asked if you really want to be killed.” “Impudent! you....a mere driver, do you think you’re a bi… Ack-!” Dalton screamed without even being able to determine what hap

"94...95...96..." The sound of counting along with the sweat dripping down on an exercise mat. "97...98..99..." It was none other than Eren who was doing push-ups in his usual spot nearby the lake, although the system no longer provided any rewards for doing the exercises, he still continued to do them to keep his body in good shape. "100! ah!" Noticing that he had completed doing the exercises Scarlet walked near him with a bottle of water.

Eren's mind raced as he absorbed the revelation that the Fire Dragon, Ugram, was bound by a sacred pact to protect and aid the Pendragon family. The implications were vast and hinted at a deeper conspiracy that had plagued his past life.His thoughts turned to the decline of the Pendragon family in his previous life. He recalled the tragic event that wiped out his entire family, leaving him as the sole survivor. It had been a night of chaos and destruction, with the fire dragon going on a rampage, nearly destroying the empire.But the fire dragon was now telling that it wasn’t the one Eren pondered the events, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the story. The pieces didn't fit together neatly, and there were gaps in his memory, as if some crucial information was intentionally hidden from him."Ugram, I believe there was a traitor among the Pendragon household in my past life," Eren began, his voice firm and resolute.

When Eren heard that Mr guy was participating in the test, it was the first way that came to mind in Eren’s mind.‘It’s close to impossible for me to find it myself. So, borrow the opponent’s hand again this time.’In fact, it was an operation that could have failed if the opponent was not Mister Guy, a rather talkative evaluator.‘But still, I thought if it’s Mister Guy, he would spit it out at least once in a fatal situation.’In other words, he will surely spit out the word promise when he finds Tori, the situation assumed as the spell.The prediction was completely correct.Of course, it would have been better if it was just before catching Tori, but the situation is not bad now.“See. It’s my victory. No matter how many praiseful situations you’re going to throw in, I also have all the means.”The doubtful Eren, who confirmed that there was no star-shaped dot as a result of flipping the first rabbit’s belly, marked it with a pen and jumped toward the second, feeling anxious for s

13 minutes could feel incredibly long or incredibly short, depending on the person. Mister Guy let out a short sigh as he watched Eren in the distance, struggling to catch and number rabbits all on his own."It's such a shame. This was supposed to be a special test, and there must have been some good growth. But rules are rules," Mister Guy muttered to himself.He began walking towards Eren, his long legs carrying him effortlessly."It seems you misunderstood, Mister Eren. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on your side," he said, disappointment evident in his voice.Mister Guy knew firsthand just how challenging the rabbit-hunting, thief-catching test was. It was even difficult for him, and he had the support of the powerful God who watched over the test from above. Without their help, it would have been impossible to create such a difficult test for an E-Rank promotion evaluation."I didn't expect that person to pay attention to him so soon," Mister Guy thought, setting aside his thoughts a

The fight between the two armor knights, similar in specifications, no, and completely the same, lasted quite a long time.Eren expressed admiration, feeling the passion and romance of the man in the appearance of armor knights who exchanged fists with each other even when their teeth were all broken and their whole bodies were in a state of exhaustion.“Wow, it’s not easy. Not easy.” He really wanted to see who would win, but unfortunately, he couldn’t afford it.‘Condition 18%.’He had to organize it so that he could deliver the final blow.They fought among themselves, but their experience belonged to Eren.Eren, who had unconscionable thoughts, swung a counter punch at each other and approached the ‘Sun Knight’ first among the knights who went backwards with their heads bent.He was struggling to force his upper body, but the speed was quite slow.Thanks to this, Eren, who was quite comfortable and climbed over the knight’s head, asked.“Are you Star Knight?”To be honest, he cou

"Is there any way to bring it down?” Eren thought as he looked around him. “A spacious living room. Tools or situations that could harm the armor knight..." It's difficult to come up with a solution. The empty living room provided the perfect environment for a fair one-on-one match. "What's next? A weapon that only I can use..." It's not that he don't have it. However, using it would require consuming a significant amount of stamina points that I've been saving for future use. "Now is the time to save my stamina. It might be better to bypass the general difficulty level promotion review." [Condition: 56%.] Prolonged consideration seemed to be making the situation naturally worse. "Why create a monster that I can't even defeat? It's a proof of rank?." Of course, it might imply enduring as much difficulty as it presents. Is it right to give up at this point? I don't have to risk my life to clear the extreme difficulty. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go back and choose the norm

The intense battle, though short, was far from easy. The floor was now littered with broken and split cleaning tools. What surprised Eren was that despite the battle, only a small portion of the wallpaper was torn. However, he focused more on swiftly knocking down the cleaning tools, even with his heavier body, to prevent any further attacks."It's good that I've been training consistently," Eren thought, realizing that his body's muscle memory helped him react instinctively, even though his movements were slower and his mind was clouded.The system message displayed his current condition: 32%. It showed an improvement of 2% from before."Knocking down about 50 cleaning tools increased my condition by 2%? It doesn't seem very efficient, but it's better than nothing."He also realized that he couldn't simply walk through the mansion without caution. Every item seemed to be a potential threat, as even cleaning tools were moving.With heightened tension, Eren cautiously made his way thro
