Clinton was now standing on a tree branch, one hand leaning on the trunk of the tree, looking at the fox-like creature in the distance. It had 9 tails.

[Um, before that... Don't you feel a tiny bit uncomfortable?]

[Every single monster within the range of 500 meters is staring at you right now.]

[What do you mean, so!? Aren't you going to do something about it!?]

[... That attitude's going to get you killed someday.]

[... Fine.]

[Please do something about the monsters around you.]

[I beg of you, okay?]

[...]

[... You can ask it yourself.]

Clinton disappeared from where he was and appeared in front of the 9-tailed fox.

"Human." The nine-tailed fox started to speak. "You are the one releasing the pressure, yet I can feel that your level are much weaker than ours. You dare to approach me with your level?"

"Well, although my level is much lower, I can still pressure you," said Clinton. "And my power is also stronger than yours."

"I see. So that is why I am sensing danger. I can tell you are not lying, but I cannot understand how you can have such power with your pitiful level. But, I would like you to help me."

"What do you need help with?"

"Before that, can you release the pressure? Don't worry, none of the other beasts will attack you."

"Sure," said Clinton.

"I need to know if you have the strength to help me. Because no matter how strong you are, you cannot help me with anything if you cannot pass the test set up by my father."

"Sure. What exactly is it that you need help with?"

"I can only tell you after you pass the test."

"Okay. Let us introduce ourselves first. We can't just keep calling each other you. I'm Clinton."

"I'm Luna."

"Okay, I accept the test."

"... Okay, now place your hand on this ball." Luna took out a crystal ball from thin air holding it in front of her.

"Okay." Clinton placed his right hand on top of the ball. "Now what?"

"You will be taken to the world inside this crystal ball, where the place of testing will be. You will get all the instructions inside there on how to pass the test, and you will get rewards if you can complete the test. Think of the rewards as a deposit."

"When is the test going to start?"

"Right now. I wish you luck," said Luna as the crystal ball started to glow with a rainbow color.

"See you later," said Clinton. Then he got sucked into the crystal ball.
