Oden had left the mayor's house, safely. He was faster and his movements were smoother. He spent the night at a hotel, as he needed some rest, after evolving.
He had a question in his mind, why didn't he went to the trial world. But he got the answer when he saw the new mission.
MISSION
Get to the gate of the Trial world,
According to the map given,
Time limit: none
Reward: entry to the trial world
He just smiled reading the mission. This may be his easiest mission.
He opened the map, he saw himself walking on the map. The planet was drawn on the map, the gate was not very far away. He can reach it in two hours if he wanted.
But there wasn't any time limit. Oden wanted to check his power too. He was quite excited to do so.
Even if he was at infant level, he was the strongest in this world, how will he find a worthy opponent?
As he was thinking he saw a poster,
The hunter exam was today, and only ten minutes were remaining before the exam gets started.
He quickly asked the people around where was the nearest center and run towards it.
In the examination center, a man well-build, muscular was calling out all the names in the list, which was on his hand.
He called out all the names and asked, did I missed any one's name?
Just as he asked, the door opened and that person was taking deep breaths. Everyone who was present inside looked at the latecomer.
The muscular instructor, who was calling out names, look at his watch.
The instructor asked, "what's your name and for which rank do you want to try ?"
The guy taking a deep breath replied, "Call me One Ace, I am here to try for a star hunter."
Hunters had nicknames to protect their identity and the government was fine with that. Many people only knew nicknames of the star level hunters.
As Oden introduced himself, everyone started laughing, even the instructor smiled.
The instructor, "there is no star level hunter examination, highest is the gold, I will take you in for that. Join in"
The instructor pointed towards the group.
"I am bill, your instructor for the exam, note if you help someone you will be disqualified. Also if you try to hurt someone the consequences are the same."
'Follow me now'
Everyone followed him, One form the group came closer and asked Oden,
"Hey One Ass, you really have some big balls, oh, my bad I forgot you have only one."
Oden ignored him and went on,
He hears people talking about him, but they were calling him "One Ass".
Oden didn't think people would twist his name like this. 'I should have taken a better name.'
They all went inside a hall, it was big. As big as a stadium.
There were many weights kept according to their mass.
Bill called a name, a person went to pic a weight.
The mass was mentioned on the weight. It started from 100 kg to 1000 Ton.
Oden knew 1 ton was equivalent to 1000kg.
The first person picked the 100kg, Bill nodded and he kept it down, went to the group again.
One by one came and lifted the weight. According to them. They can even try twice.
Those who couldn't lift, they were sent somewhere else. Probably to their home.
The crowd had near about a hundred people reduced to 14 people.
Now it was time for Oden, as he came late, he got his chance in the last place.
Now, it was his time to shine, to show whether he was the One Ass or the One Ace.
He looked around, hardly 14 of the crowd was present. There were a few workers and helpers.
He walked towards the 1000 ton weight, few already started laughing,
Bill smiled, Oden ignored it and went towards the weight.
He holds the lifting handed with one hand and pulled it upwards.
He was able to lift it. He looked at Bill, his eyes were wide open.
He didn't believe what's going on.
Everyone in the hall was looking at him. As if they have seen a god.
Oden kept the weight on his hand and was enjoying their reaction.
In a few seconds, Bill replied told to keep it. As he kept it down a loud noise was heard.
There was pin-drop silence as he walked back to his place. He saw Bill walking towards the 1000 ton weight. He was observing it. Then he tried to lift it. But he wasn't able to lift it.
With his abilities getting stronger. Now, Oden was able to hear from far away. His territorial ability had grown stronger. Even Oden was quite amazed when he heard voices from far off, for the first time.
"That is made for star hunters right ?"
Oden looked at the direction of the voice,
Few helpers were talking, when they saw One Ace looking at them, they stopped talking and went to work again.
Oden smiled and thought, looks like it will take some time for them to digest.
He looked at the surroundings. The 14 participants were talking to themselves.
'Is this One Ass really a big shot?'
'I don't think so, he may have used an expensive Mublend to get a weight lifting skill?'
'This Big Ass may have a big father who did some setting with the workers over, look the Instructor is still checking the weight.'
He just kept quiet and hearing people, expressing their shock.
All the helpers and workers were looking at One Ace and discussed it as if they saw it happen the first time.
He even heard people saying star level hunters were not able to lift that up. they tried, but they weren't successful.
Bill called all the participants for the next exam.
