When Aron woke up, it was already midnight. He noticed that laying beside him was his sister, Evelyn, and he had deduced that it was his sister who had treated his chest.
He gently stroked her hair, and a pang of guilt struck his heart, as he knew Evelyn was hurt because he was hiding a secret from her.
He had then decided. One day, when he was strong enough to protect his mother and his sister, he would reveal his secret.
Aron wasn't able to go back to sleep. He had already taken a nap during the day and was also too excited about discovering the true extents of his powers. He had long forgotten about his decision to become a model and was back on the journey to becoming an adventurer. He quickly opened his status board, checking to make sure his abilities weren't a dream.

Aron noticed his status board had changed.
When Aron saw the Fire Mastery (D) skill he had transferred from Richard, he couldn't stop himself from trembling in excitement. He also observed that his class had changed to E, because he had beaten Richard and his level increased.
In order to raise their class, an adventurer had to increase their level. F class adventurers were leveled between 1-10, E class adventurer were leveled between 11-20, D class adventurers were leveled between 21-30, C class adventurers were leveled between 31-50, B class adventurers were leveled between 51-75, A class adventurers were level between 76-100, and S class adventurers were leveled 100+. Adventurers could quickly gain levels by defeating opponents that were higher levels than them.
Aron, seeing Evelyn tossing and turning, carried Evelyn to her bedroom. Then, he made the decision to meet his mother in the hospital tomorrow.
Aron always went to meet his mother whenever he had good news.

Clack. Clack. Clack.
The sound of high heels rang throughout the hall.
"Did you bring the files?"
"Yes ma'am!"
The man bowed down and didn't look up. Rumor had it the Alchemist got rid of anyone who looked at her face.
The Alchemist, S class adventurer, 9th ranked Awakener from America, was none other than Alissa Smith. And of course, the rumor wasn't true. She just didn't like anyone judging her based on looks.
Excited, Alissa held on to the files about Aron close to her chest. She twisted side to side, and didn't care about how ugly Aron originally looked. The only thing that mattered to her was his pure heart of a hero.
Ever since the day Aron saved her, Alissa couldn't get the sight of Aron standing before her out of her head. She felt lucky she hadn't brought her potions the day she got attacked by the gangsters. If she did, she would have easily dealt with the gangsters and would have never gotten the chance to be shielded by Aron.
Alissa sighed and looked through the glass from the top floor of the tallest building of Seattle, the headquarters of the second highest ranked guild in America, All Stars. Her gaze landed on Aron's house, then she turned and muttered.
"Aron. You'll have to join All Stars."
