The participants entered the second hall, it was as big as the first hall or maybe bigger than the first one.
Oden felt like he was a king walking in between his subjects. His reputation was as high as the sky now.
A crystal was placed in the center of the hall and there was a LED screen above it.
The instructor, Bill walked to the crystal and placed his hand on it. Oden was able to sense the energy transferring from Bill to the crystal.
Bill circulator all his energy in the crystal, as he finishes, he looked tired and was fast breathing.
The LED screen lid up, it could show only 3 digits. It displayed a number.
427
Everyone was looking at Bill, he explains,
"This instrument over here is going to measure your power, you just have to place your hand on the crystal and circulate your power."
Can they circulate their energy ? Oden had this question in his mind when he was in the forest of Fiza, he wasn't able to control his energy from leaking.
As he was thinking, he saw many of the participants were down, some were frowning towards the instructor.
Bill moved his lips,
"Well, don't worry if you can't circulate your power, the instrument will suck it from your body, but it may tire you a little."
"Oh!.. For reference, you can check the list over there"
As he told every participant looked towards the wall,
There was a chart showing how much power it needs for which rank.
Gold-above 400
Silver- 375
Black-350
Red-325
Violet- 300
Orange-275
Yellow-250
Green -225
Blue-200
Indigo-100
Normal human-below 100
'Wow, Instructor Bill is a Gold level hunter.'
'We are lucky to have a Gold level Instructor'
Oden didn't care about the talks, he thought if Gold level is above 400 than Star level should be above 500, something like that.
Soon, the first participant went towards the crystal,
It showed a number
213
Everyone clapped and said
"A blue hunter"
All the participants went one after another. There wasn't a single one whose power was less than 100. All of them were going to be new hunters soon. They were smiling and some were talking to the guy who scored 328 on the crystal. He was more of a noble among them.
At the last, it was One Ace's chance to shine again. This time the instructor didn't call 'next'. But said 'One Ace'.
This was a small bit of respect from the instructor to his favorite participant. It was the same feeling, he got when his professor had praised him, in front of the class.
One Ace nodded and went to the crystal, as he was the newly formed hunters who were the participants a minute ago, they all looked towards the screen.
They still have a doubt about his energy, his first impression was worst, as he was late and had the guts to say in the face of the instructor about trying for a star level hunter.
One Ace kept his hand on the crystal and let it absorb his power, he was afraid, if he used his power and break the crystal.
He felt little his power is getting absorbed, but it was a very small amount. The speed was maybe 1000 times slower than his predator ability.
A notification popped
[Energy being absorbed]
These kinds of notifications were beneficial in the future, but not now.
The absorption stopped, he looked at the screen about.
A three-digit number was there on the screen,
It was easy to guess for Oden, as it was the last three-digit number.
999
All the new, hunters who were talking, their eyes were wide open, checking the number.
This time Bill didn't check the instrument as he did in the earlier exam. Instead, he asked all the participants to follow him,
All followed him, this time it wasn't a hall, it was more like an arena. There was no one except for them, seeing the place, they all knew what the third exam was.
Bill started,
"I congratulate each one of you on passing the exam. As there is an aspiring star level hunter with the group. There will be a star level qualifying match. This round is only for the star level hunters, others can sit and watch."
This was shocking for everyone, the person whom they called, One Ass is going to be a star level hunter.
"A star level hunter does exist"
"I never thought I will see a star level hunter fighting"
"Can we record the fight ? wait, but I don't have my phone"
All of them went to sit. Only One Ace and the instructor was left on the ground.
"So, I have to defeat a Gold level hunter to became a Star level hunter ?"
Oden asked ?
"Yeah, get ready I am not going to get easy on you. Tell me when you're ready"
Oden smiled hearing this, " I am always ready"
Bill moved faster than the wind, the eyes of the audience weren't able to catch him.
He punched him, a shock wave was generated.
There was a lot of sand in the air due to shock waves. It wasn't clear enough to check the battle between the gold and the star.
The shock was enough to shake the audience who were sitting peacefully.
A couple of moments ago, there believed they were the new kings of the world.
But now, they felt like newborn babies in front of them.
Oden had blocked the punch with his hand. Bill quickly retreated.
Bill didn't give him a chance to attack
He understood, Bill was an experienced hunter. He may have experience of years.
The match was going to tough..
Oden was far stronger and faster, but he didn't have any experience.
He was a Noob fighting with an Expert.
