'I awakened, with an S+ rank,' Edric had a smile on his face.
'But what's with '?','
"By looking at your smile, you get a good skill." His grandpa commented.
"Yup, an S+ rank skill,"
"WHAT?"
Upon hearing his words, both his grandpa and mom were dumbfounded.
"An S+ skill?' His grandpa asked,
"Yup,"
"Hahaha," His grandpa began to laugh,
"You are something. To think you got an S+ skill as you awakened, only 1% of hunters in the world had S+ skills."
Hearing his grandpa's words, he realized how lucky he was,
"Show me your status window,"
"How do you do it?" He titled his head.
"Look at the bottom of the status window, there will be icon 'Show',"
When Edric looked at the bottom of the window, there was no icon.
"There is no icon here,"
His grandpa slightly raised his eyebrows,
"From what I can tell, you're one of the awakeners who can't show their status to others,"
"Is it a bad thing?"
"No," His grandpa shook his head,
"Rather than a bad thing, it's good,"
"Can you show others your status window?"
"Yeah,"
"Can you show me your status window? Please"
His grandpa nodded,

Edric was overwhelmed by looking at his grandpa's stats.
'Level 141? All the stats are 300+'
'And those titles,'
"Grandpa, why can't I see your skills?"
"That's because I don't want to display it or if I had to say in other words, I can't,"
"Remember, you should never reveal your skills to others until you do not believe in the person who asked for it."
"Sure, but doesn't that mean you don't trust me?" Edric had a somewhat bitter expression.
"It's not like that, I believe in my grandson, but sometimes you have to do things you don't want to," His grandpa sighed.
After his grandpa spoke, the room was filled with silence,
"Now, I'm a hunter, right?" Edric broke the silence.
"Not yet, for becoming an official hunter you have to take the test at the hunter association. Once you pass the test, you will become a hunter."
"When will I be taking the test?"
"When you turned 15,"
"What? That long." He was shocked.
"You can't take the test until you're 15. The association created the rule after witnessing young hunters' deaths."
"So, I have to wait for three years," He sighed.
"It seems so,"
"Ah!"
Edric lay on the couch in frustration.
Seeing him, his grandpa spoke,
"Isn't it good?"
"How's this good?" He narrowed his eyes.
"You got three years to train, that means you will be much stronger when you take the test."
Edric suddenly sit straight and looked at his grandpa,
"You're right. And that time…"
Suddenly, an evil smirk appeared on the faces of grandfather and grandson.
'These guys,' His mother sighed.
Next Day,
Edric got up earlier and went to the training room. The training room was in the basement of the villa.
As he entered the room, he was welcomed by a fighting ring in the middle of the room. In the middle of the ring, his grandpa was meditating. The room was very spacious, after all, swords hung on the wall, and gym equipment was on the ground, but despite all of that, there was still plenty of space left.
When he entered the room, his grandpa smiled,
"You sure are excited about this,"
"You bet I'm,"
His grandpa stood up, got out of the ring.
"Your training will be divided into three parts. For the first part, we are going to do basic exercises like push-ups and pull-ups to build your foundation. After that, you'll learn how to use your body or handle a weapon. Lastly, you'll learn how to use your skills more effectively. Any problem with that?"
"No,"
"Alright, start which 100 push-ups,"
"Wait, 100 push-ups on the first day?" he asked with a shocking look.
"Yup,"
"Don't you want to train so badly, but now you quit without even trying." His grandpa said with a disappointing face.
"I never give up,"
He began doing push-ups,
After ten minutes,
Edric was laying on the ground sweating,
"Are you already tired?"
"We still have a long way ahead. So, get up,"
After getting up from the ground, he started doing pull-ups.
Then he did squats and crunches following the pull-ups.
After two hours of exercise, Edric was sweating like crazy.
"Take this,"
His grandpa gave him a towel and a bottle of water.
"This is just the beginning. From tomorrow onwards, you will also need to run."
Edric looked at his grandpa while wiping sweat from his face. He was too tired to react to his grandpa's words.
"Enjoy your training," His grandpa said while leaving the room.
He tried to stand up, but he had no strength in his legs. So, he dropped to the ground
"Fuck!"
While laying on the ground, he looked at the ceiling.
'This pain is nothing compared to what I went through in the past.'
'But still, why can't I endure this pain.'
'It seems I have become too comfortable over the past few months.' He sighed.
The second day came and the same thing happened.
3rd day,
4th day,
5th day,
Days become months,
One month,
Two months,
Three months,
And months become years,
One year,
Two years,
Three years later,
In the training room, a handsome boy and an old man were standing in the fighting ring. Both of them wore black gym clothes. The boy had black hair that reached his shoulders and blue eyes.
"I'm sure I'll win today,"
The boy said while tying his hair.
"You can try if you can." The old man said.
They were none other than Edric and his grandpa Orson.
