"I want to take both the tests, Sir"
Eren said standing in between the two groups!
Joshua who was about to start examining the candidates stopped in his tracks and looked at him. All the other cadet's also turned towards him as they found a new cadet wanting to take both tests surprising.
'Is that the famous Toy-boy of the Rozentals?'
He thought looking at Eren.
'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.
Eren nodded his head walking ahead. he could sense cold gazes from other cadets but it wasn't anything new for him who was practically treated as a piece of Shit in the Rozental household.
Coming forward he stood in front of the machine which looked like a huge robot except that in the place of its stomach there was something like a punching bag and on its face was a digital display.
"Hit it as hard as you can," Joshua said standing at a certain distance away from the machine.
"I just have to hit that thing right?"
Eren asked him once again to confirm if he heard him right!
"Yeah! you just need to hit that as hard as you can, The machine will analyze the power behind the punch and will display a score for you"
The machine was designed to display the strength of individuals in numbers, the lower the score, the better the results!
"Oh!"
Eren exclaimed at this explanation as he found the machine pretty interesting!
Looking at his exclaimed face, Joshua decide to spice things up a little since he was trying so hard to show up, he need to make sure to crush his spirit right?
"The highest record for the new awakened is 1.25 which was scored by William Jones of US ten years ago, and the best in our country was 1.69 scored by none other than the second son of Rozentals, you might know about it, right?"
How could he not!
It was a hot matter when his brother-in-law, the third son of the Rozentals awakened, not only was he an Irregular, he had immense physical power too, He was called the rising star at that time!
"Hmm"
Eren nodded slightly as he got ready to give it his best shot!
His father-in-law has promised to protect him for six months but no matter how much he tries to increase his power, he still couldn't escape from the danger of Julia's siblings, not even with the power of the system.
So, his only hope now was to catch the attention of his father-in-law, He planned to go all out and show his father-in-law how much of a talent he was!
That way even his father-in-law himself couldn't help but protect him, even in the off case he rejects to offer any support to Eren, The Rozentals had many enemies, and any of them would welcome him with open hands!
Eren thought about all the humiliation he had faced and took the posture to puch! He took his hand back and pushed it back with the palm of his other hand and firmly planted his foot on the ground.
He decided to use 'Hateful strike' and took a deep breath in.
The memories of him getting bullied and the humiliations he faced, filled his head.
He released his hand which was headed straight towards the machine...But at the last second, a variable occurred!
ding!
[Passive 'Devotion to Revenge' has been activated!]
[Strength stat has increased by 10 for 10s]
[Caution!: Half of your stamina is consumed as a sacrifice]
ding!
['Hateful strike' is activated!]
[Your next attack will deal 100% more damage]
The passive which he thought was uselessly activated for the first time!
But the problem was the time that it activated! He was already using hateful strike combined with his 22 stat in strength which would deal damage equivalent to 44, which was already at the range of upper E rank!
But now that the passive also activated, his strength jumped to 32 although only for 10s, it meant that his next attack would deal damage equivalent to 64 stat in strength, which was the damage range of low-class D-rank!!
'F*ck!'
Eren cursed inside, as even though he wanted to show off! A newbie awakening the strength of D-rank would be too much, He had no thoughts of becoming a scapegoat of all the channels that would make a mess of things if he ever got evaluated as D-rank!
So, at the last second when the punch was about to land on the machine he made effort to pull back his hand!
Boom!
Though he tried to pull back, the result was obvious!
A loud sound resonated in the massive room as the giant machine was pushed back about two meters due to the impact!!
The candidates and the examiners had their mouths wide open seeing the machine!
'Is that really the Toy boy of the Rozentals?'
'Isn't he supposed to be a useless loser?'
'What's with that strength? How much did he score?'
Everyone had such thoughts on their heads and slowly turned towards the head of the machine!
1.26!!
'what the..!'
'1.26!'
Everyone exclaimed seeing the score on the machine! it was 1.26! just 0.01 more than the world record!!
Everyone turned towards the man who was now standing in front of the machine, he was a bit sweaty and his face looked pale but other than that he was completely fine!
"A new record!"
someone in the group exclaimed loudly!
" A new record of the country!"
And shortly after exclamations broke out all around the massive room!
And right in the middle of all that chaos, Joshua was standing looking at Eren
stupefied, but for a whole different reason!
'What did I see just now? Did he really hold back his power at the last movement!!?'
As expected, Eren couldn't escape the eyes of a S ranker.
---***---
Everyone present in the hall was filled with astonishment and surprise at the sudden appearance of a new record from the person they least expected anything from.'Does this mean the new record holder is him?''Wow! I never knew that the loser of the Rozentals could give us such a surprise!''A Rozental is a Rozental, nonetheless!'Be it the candidates or the examiners they were all standing staring at Eren in awe but except for one person that is!'What did I see just now? Did he really hold back his power at the last movement!!?'Others may have not noticed this, but Eren couldn't deceive the eyes of an S-rank hunter!Joshua clearly saw that at the last movement when Eren's fist was about to collide with the machine, he pulled back his hand in an attempt to reduce the impact.Joshua didn't know why Eren did that but...'If the power he displayed while holding back is 1.26 then how much would the score have been if he punched with his full force!!'It definitely would have exceeded t
(Shortly after Eren entered the association, before the awakener exam)Dalton Von Rozental came to where his car was parked, holding his phone in frustration!Earlier when he was about to use the situation to beat up Eren, he got a call from his father's secretary.Kelvin Ballock!He was the secretary of his father, Aden Von Rozental, who had served him for 30 long years.He was not from the Rozental family but he was the most trusted person by his father, and he was one of his old comrades who watched his back during the war time of 'Great disaster'.Kelvin's influence on the family was even higher than Rozental's direct descendants.Noticing that such a person is calling him at this time, he thought something urgent must have come up and went to pick up the phone!But....Unlike his thoughts, there was only a short message that was left for him in the call."Don't try anything funny with Eren, it's your father's words"Nothing more was said and the secretary cut the call after that!
“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
The test results were immediately announced a day after Eren passed Awakener’s exam and he received the Hunter license.As expected, Eren was considered as a top scorer, or to be exact, as a lesser E rank Hunter.Naturally, the press and mass media were in an uproar.※Rozental family's Good-For-Nothing, Eren Rozental, Becomes Top Honor Hunter※ Eren, is he an Irregular?※ 'I have a great expectation from Eren' - says the S-rank hunter, Joshua Agnus※ Another Rising star from the Rozental family!!※ The Worth of Rozental family surges again with the awakening of their prospective Son-in-law!※ Is Rozental family invincible?※ Will the future son-in-law of the Rozentals join the 'Guardian' guild?※ Special Feature, S-Rank! Mad Dog, Joshua Agnus, who Hated Rozentals Very Much, says he is Rooting for Eren!Sitting in his own office at home, Aden Von Rozental’s mouth twisted sharply as he slowly looked over the newspaper articles that his secretary, Kelvin Ballock, had saved.Whether he wa
"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. "Here, Master" "Thank you, Scarlet" Eren took the water bottle, gulping down the water till it was empty. "Master, The hunter License arrived this morning" She said taking the bottle from him. It had already been three days since he took the awakener's exam. The news that the Prospective Son-in-law of the Rozentals broke the record set by their own third son broke the internet! It was a huge hot topic! Eren even got a call from his father-in-law's secretary, telling him that his father-in-law is happy with the news and he will be sen
Eren entered the building after showing his license, several figures recognized Eren and threw their eyes at him."Isn't that the loser of the Rozental family?""Are you really calling him loser after what happened a week ago?""He is a rising star now.."Eren, who did not pay attention to the following chatter, gulped when he saw a glowing blue portal in a circular shape not far from the entrance."So that’s the entrance to the dungeon."The entrance to the dungeon was enough for four or five people to enter with their hands wide open. It was rather bizarre for such a large portal to be in a bustling downtown area.Therefore, it was inevitable to build such a building around the exterior to hide the sense of disparity, regardless of obstructing traffic.It was said that when the portal first opened up on earth monsters came out bustling from them, surprising many people.And the majority of those who entered it out of curiosity about what those creatures are and where they are from n

It has been 5 hours since Eren had entered the dungeon and in the short 5 hours of time he raised to level 20. But it was becoming increadibly level up after that tenth level as the experiance required for level up would increase exponentially for every ten levels! He was using 'Hateful strike' repeatedly after every 10 minutes while trying to increase its mastery and was fighting the goblins with basic spear techniques at other times! His other skills which had a high stamina consumption rate or long cooldown time were a problem, which made him hesitate to use them. Since variables can arise at any time in dungeon battles he was saving them for suitable situations. 'It wasn’t bad to review the 'hunter basics' for an hour while I was on the way,' He thought remembering the book that he had gone through on the way here. It contained basics about how a newly awakened hunter has to hunt and distribute time to rest in the dungeon. Even though he did a good job in following the instru
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. "Someone who betrayed us and manipulated the
"What kind of nonsense... aren't you the one who gave it to that rabbit?" Eren questioned, clearly perplexed by the situation.Mr. Nice guy simply shrugged in response, implying that it didn't really matter. At the moment, what mattered was that their beloved Tori had become a thief."Then, based on the proof of my rank, I should find the rabbit named Tori before my condition runs out," Eren concluded, looking for confirmation from Mr. Nice guy.Mr. Nice guy nodded, confirming Eren's statement. Without wasting any time, Eren mentally prepared himself and felt his body warm up instantly.His condition level was at 98%, and the drop rate was noticeably slow due to his high condition."I have to catch all the rabbits and turn them over," Eren thought determinedly. Although it was a laborious task, he believed it was not impossible.However, he couldn't afford to relax just yet. Time was of the essence, and he needed to make every second count.Just as Eren was about to sprint forward, Mr
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
