Aiden was unsure of what was going on. He had come here to be tested but now he is finding himself more confused than ever. He had never heard of anyone having an SSSR god rank ability. Aiden comes to where the fight will be tested and he tells the attendant he is here to test his skills. The woman looks at him and points him to arena 36. He arrives at the arena and looks at his opponent. His opponent was a man in his late 40's with long hair. He is carrying a sword and looks at Aiden then says, " So it's finally time for you to test for your ability."
Aiden looks at the man and recognizes him as the man who had been training him in the sword for the last ten years and who was like his second father. His name was Ayin and he was a master swordsman who fought in the wars before the beasts changed.
He pulls out his sword and waits for Aiden to get into his stance. Aiden gets ready and moves to attack Ayin but as he starts to move he hears the system notify him. (Body activate) Aiden flies like an arrow at his mentor and strikes at him but his timing was off because he wasn't used to this new body. Even with his poor timing the strike still was so powerful that he could see cracks on both swords after his mentor blocked the strike. As his new found speed threw him off balance he tried to swing his leg at his mentor and was able to graze him but the mentor calls the fight there as he looks at his student with blood flowing down his face.
"Aiden when did you get so strong? I dodged that kick but the wind generated by it still cut me like a sword. Let's see what your talent level is at because I have never seen a fight like that."
He leads Aiden to the testing area and has him walk up to the testing array. Ayin looks at Aiden and says, " Put a drop of blood on the formation and it will activate. The brighter the array turns the stronger the talent. It's ok if you don't get a high result the Hall mostly has A class and lower."
Aiden walks up to the formation and drops his blood onto formation and hears the system respond. The array starts to get brighter and brighter until it shines like the sun. Ayin seems to be shocked as the formation array has never done this. The whole building seems to be lit up and it's several minutes before the light fades and Ayin looks at the results and mutters , " What was that light? Did he unlock a SSSR god body? No one has ever nearly overloaded the array before. Just how strong is this man? Could he possibly turn the tide of the wars?"
Ayin looks at Aiden and says with admiration, " I don't know how you did it but you have achieved an SSSR god. Be careful with who you let know because there are people who would like to use someone like you as a weapon to carry out their agendas. Either way let's discuss this later right now you need to attend the opening ceremony and get yourself adjusted to the academy. You will then need to sign up for the Martial guild and begin your introduction to the war as we are losing land every day to the beasts. "
He walks through the building and follows some other students to the meeting hall. Quietly he looks for Wolfy and when he sees her he makes his way towards her. Slowly he checks around himself and it seems like the people just unconsciously move out of his way and strange looks are being sent his way.
As he makes his way to Wolfy, he is asking the system exactly what his attributes are. While getting an explanation by the system on things like his strength to his luck suddenly the hall goes quiet. The leader of the hall was standing there and looked out as he watched the hall quiet down.
He opened his mouth and began to speak," Welcome to a new year at the Hall. To the returning students you can leave now since you know what you need to do. For the few new faces let me introduce myself. I am Mr. Mursame and I am the head of the hall along with Guild master of the adventure guild that the Hall controls. From now on you will be learning the theory of combat and war tactics in the Hall along with learning skills to aid in the war effort. When you're not in class we expect you to be going on missions for real life experience in combat and other applications. For this you will all be registered into the guild and as the returning students could tell you if you achieve good marks the other guilds might ask for your help or membership.
Now onto the more serious matters let's discuss how the world Rugereus is set up for those who have never traveled. The world is divided into 13 islands that we know of with the main settlement of humanity being in the capital on the largest island. We are on a small island and very isolated here but as we have learned isolation means that the monsters and beasts are much more concentrated here as opposed to the capital island. Fortunately it would seem around town are only class E to class C monsters. With that please don't wander into the woods and travel with a group."
Aiden watched as everyone left and he went to go find his room after he registered. The line in the guild hall was long with the new class waiting for rooms and schedules. Fortunately the guild prioritized missions and beast hunting over classes so he would only have to spend one day a week learning the theories and tactics developed to fight against the beasts.
As he waits he looks at his classmates and there seem to be some like Wolfy that had under gone changes into beasts themselves. The Knowledge of the Ancients allowed him to realize that this planet have suffered multiple catastrophic extinction events. He hears a voice behind him asking, " What do you think about that introduction? Is this going to be dangerous and deadly?" Aiden turns and sees a small boy who seems to have acquired abilities similar to a pangolin as his skin seems to be covered in armored plates and he has hands that seem designed for nimble work.
Behind him is a strange giant of boy that seems to have undergone a few extreme changes. The giant boy has four arms bulging with muscle and he is wearing a strange outfit that looks like metal clothes. They introduce themselves as Peter Pangolini and the giant introduced himself as Lex but he says people either call him Beast or something like that because he resembles a monster. He chuckles, "Yes I know it's a terrible nickname but I come from a different island and moved here right before the Red night to be an apprentice blacksmith. It's been a long road but the extra strength I got from the red sky has actually made it to where I became fairly well known as a smithing and metallurgical prodigy. Anyway how about you? "
Aiden looks at the two and thinks about how to answer them. He looks at them and replies," I am Aiden Keyes and I didn't unlock anything that extraordinary. I seem to have acquired a really great memory and knowledge of the planet. My guess is the three of us if we use our skills well together we might be able to make a fortune and work on stopping the beasts. "
After a bit of time they get to the front of the line and Aiden shows his test papers then waits. The other boys move to their own spots where they get their room keys and schedules. They smile and nod at Aiden as they head off to find their rooms.
The receptionist in charge of Aiden looks at the papers and sees the test results. They look shocked and motion for Aiden to wait out of line for someone to check the results. Later on after a few people had gathered around to see the results they all look in shock and just send him to the Guild master with his results.
After an hour of waiting, Aiden is ushered into the Guild master's quarters. The man behind the desk is broad shouldered and battle scarred. It would appear he has definitely seen combat over the years. He looks at Aiden and looks a bit shocked. Guildmaster Mursame looks at the papers and says, " Well your the first SSSR we have seen and we will keep your results hidden. Today you will be given your own room instead of sharing a dorm room and if you choose to you don't have to attend class. Realize that with your strength the guild will call on your help in time of trouble. You will still need to work through the ranks but be careful beasts are not the only monsters out there. Here is your room key and you will find your beginner gear in your room."
