I was outside of the Graduation Hall. I was on my phone searching on Woogle what was going on with my System. I searched every article and every video, but could not find a single case of a Level 0 System. I was so confused.
Then from the end of the hallway, I was in came Ai and Rayyan, who had both already been infused with their systems.
"Fujin!" Ai called my name, "What kind of System did you get?"
I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted by Rayyan joining the conversation. "Mine's a defense System called "Bronze Barrier System" and Ai got a healing System called "Affectionate Heal System"!"
I finally had the chance to speak. "I... I got the Dragon Mage System."
"That sounds awesome!" Ai replied, "But you sound so down. What's wrong?"
Ai was an affectionate and kind girl who was always there for any of her friends in a hard time. She had beautiful black and silver hair with beautiful violet eyes. On the other hand, Rayyan was an athlete. He was always helping me out and was at the top of our physical classes. He had orange spiky hair with sharp teeth and one red one blue eye.
"Well, " I began to say, "being a measly Level one MH(Monster Hunter) is basically impossible. While the only requirement to become an MH is to have a System, and I do, I'm not sure I can do much."
"Bro!" Rayyan interrupted, "It's been your dream to be an MH since you were little. I'm sure somehow we can help you. Right Ai?"
Rayyan looked at the girl who smiled and nodded to me and Rayyan.
"Well make it work."
"Thanks, guys."

I know had fully accepted that I would probably be Level 0 for the rest of my life. But with the encouragement of my two closest friends, I had a feeling it would hope. I prayed that it would.
But still - why is my System Level 0? Why is it so difficult to level up? This didn't make sense.
At that time, I was at my home. My father was a Monster Hunter too and a good one at that. Because of that, he would often be traveling and almost never home. My mom had passed away a few years ago. Actually because of her passing my father finally decided to enroll me in the System Training Academy.
Before leaving on his last, most dangerous to date trip he left me about five million Euros. As I said my father was a well know, excellent Monster Hunter and earned a lot of it two.
Not wanting to live alone and my friends being quite broke, I, Ai, and Rayyan decided to move in together in one of the smaller mansions my father had left for me.
Since my father was almost never home I was a very self-sustaining child. I learned how to cook and mostly cared for myself. That left me to be in charge of the house even now.
It had been about a week after our Graduation. We had sent in our resumes to several MH Guilds hoping that at least one would accept the three of us. I highly doubted that since Ai and Rayyan had great Systems while I wasn't even on Level one.
I didn't think I would be accepted in any guilds. I felt guilty since the two had promised they would only be in a Guild alongside me, but that meant that they would probably miss out on a lot of good guilds. And so it was. High-rank guilds messaged my friends back ready for them to join the Guild, but since I was Level 0 nobody replied to me.
The two tried to get the Guilds to accept me or they themselves would not join, but still, sadly they did not want me and so Ai and Rayyan turned the requests down. I couldn't ask for better friends.
But then suddenly, luckily I received my first and only reply. We had sent our resumes to varying ranks of Guilds and so there were high ranking guilds but also small local guilds that we could potentially join.
The one that responded was one of those small local guilds. I still couldn't be happier seeing as they were the only ones who replied, not only to Ai and Rayyan but to me too.
The guild was small - about a dozen crewmembers. It was called BeastBlade or BB. They had sent us the location of their base and we agreed to meet them the next day.
