Location- Kingdom of Frieden
In a grand room covered floor to ceiling in gold and marble. Sitting on a beautiful couch in the center of the room with a displeased look on his face is none other than the current King of Frieden "Aldrich Frieden."
He had just gotten off the pone with Mr. Frost.
"Shin Frost you will accept this marriage proposal, you are strong but you cant go against an entire country."
(knock-knock)
The door too the grand room was pushed open by a tall well built man who is around 20-22 years old. It is Aldrich Friedens first born son, Trent Frieden. The one with tons of accusations and claims of assault from women all around the world. Now no matter how rich and powerful he is no woman in their right mind would even get near him (He is know as the scum of the Frieden kingdom) , which is why his father is trying so hard to get his first born son who will become the next King to be married and improve his reputation.
"Father how did the call go."- Trent
"Not good they declined."- Aldrich
"Tsk... What do we do now father, I WANT HER!"- Trent
"Yes my son I know and I will get her for you, they can't decline forever."- Aldrich
"Good I'm so excited... I can't wait to taste and tame her. hehe."- Trent
""Haha""

When the old man left Ryuji was dead tired and won out from the day that he didn't even bother showering and just flopped down on the bed. Knocking right out as soon as is head hit the pillow.
Next Morning-
He got up and went straight to the bathroom to shower because he smelled really bad, as he did just go straight to bed last night.
When he got into the bathroom he turned the shower on then looked in the mirror, took his shirt off and started unwrapping his bandages.
To his shock when he took them off he found that all of his small wounds and cuts were fully healed and his two broken ribs were healed to the point that the were now just severely bruised.
Freaking out a little he quickly opened his status window, which every awakened hunter has. It gives a detailed explanation of abilities, mana, strength, stamina etc.
By saying "STATUS."
[ Ryuji Kaede 20 ]
[ Human? ]
[ Rank - E ]
[ Strength 100, Stamina 100, Mana 200. ]
[ Skills: Warrior Cry lvl 1, Double Strike lvl 1, Regeneration lvl 1 ]
On top of his piss poor stats that we all just barely above the average non-awakened human he saw that he had a new skill regeneration. The skill was not there yesterday, and it is very hard to get a new skill no matter how strong you are. Not only that but his stats went up a little bit from yesterday as well, although he is still bottom of the barrel even among E- ranks.
He decided that right now this new skill is a blessing even though it probably means that his life is about to get a lot harder from here on out, he decided not to dwell on that for now and hopped in the shower.
After his shower he ate breakfast which was just basic knock off cheerios as he is literally poor because he doesn't want to receive any help from his father in law right now. Then he got changed for school in standard grey pants a black t-shirt and an old worn out hoodie that has seen better days.
He walked out the door and headed for his college campus which was only a few blocks away.
On campus he walked relatively fast with his head down as to not make eye contact with anyone as the strong prey on the weak in this world. He quickly made it to his classroom and found his friend sitting in the middle row saving him a seat.
" Hey why didn't you call me last night."
"Sorry I had a lot going on and was really tired, I just went right to sleep last night."- Ryuji
"It's okay I was just worried you know, I just don't understand why you don't let me protect you from those guys."
"I can handle it myself, you don't need to get involved because they will just go after you next."- Ryuji
"Okay but just let me know if you cant take it anymore, you don't need to shoulder everything alone."
"Yea.... yea look class is starting. Shhhh."- Ryuji
And like that class started it was the class of Mana which is equivalent to a sciences class. Nothing really happened in the class just explaining what mana is and how to control it and infuse it into artifacts and weapons, which is all very useful. But for Ryuji who is to weak to do anything and also cant really use mana even with his skills the class for him is basically useless.
