Just as Xander was about to stand up he felt pains in his head, stomach and legs the beast damaged his body as well as his clothes but the pain was beareable due to his endurance stat being a bit high. The other problem was that just how was he even suppose to heal on time for the competition tomorrow, because he didn't expect himself to heal like last time and he couldn't just keep giving his mother that he fell down into a little bit, and landed in a rose bush close by.
He was simply going to sneak into the house, that was the way his mother wouldn't know what happened in him. After collecting his weapons, he started walking home and while he was walking home, he got stopped by two beast or a single beast to be exact.
[New quest: defeat the basic tier beast in front of you]
Since he was done with what he wanted to do, and no longer felt the need to train himself, besides he was sure he could defeat any beast that was not above the basic tier, he walked towards them as if nothing happened,he activated the Aura Detector and thesmoke control, making the beast blind as the kept punching and kicking the air randomly, he took out his katana and whacked the head of one of them and it seemed like the other beast felt it.
He slashed the neck of the other making he beast body fall to the floor, as soon as it happened the other beast kept rolling on the floor screaming in pain, put Xander put the beast out of its sorrow with a slash to its neck.

After arranging his stats, he started walking home he took the route that was filled with less people so as not to draw attention to himself.
He was finally home and thankfully his mother was in her room sleeping so he ran to his room, after taking a shower and applying some first aid and drinking some medicines which he kept in his room when he got serious beatings from the bullying he hot in the past, he then laid down to sleep.
------------
The nest day Xander woke up and again his wounds were healed and there wasn't even any scratch marks, bumps or scars, his skin was a soft and as smooth as that of a baby.
But that wasn't what he was going to focus on today, because today he along with his mother were going to their town's knight registration center, he was going to have one or more texts, that were set in place by the knights so that he could go to Great lake Academy and become a knight, it was his dream.... after failing over and over again to pass the text to see if he could use abilities, and after taking the necessary things such as his medium tier crystal for storing his weapons, and after putting on his clothes he set off with his mother.
Both him and his mother oarded a carriage, and headed towards the registration center while he was heading there he felt his hands shaking and his heart was beating faster than normal, though he thought he was controlling it his body kept vibrating but he didn't notice that, but soon his mother put her hands on his back and said.
"You don't have to fell scared, I can tell you are going to pass the text", she said with a heart warming smile one that was supposed to put his heart at ease, but he wasn't calming down, he was still as nervous as ever, but even though he didn't want to admit the truth to others, he would never lie to his mother.
I...l get this f-feling that am not gonna get a pass mark, despite all I've been through", he said still shaking, though his voice reduced in when he was saying the last part, " I don't want to do it anymore... stop the carriage please", he added with a bit of tears in his eyes. " Please my son, if not for anything do it for me. I still rember when you said you wanted to protect yourself as well as me, you had this determination to grow stronger as if you just Unlocked something ", she said softly and he looked into her eyes, with her golden eyes starring back as his own pair of golden stones. But right now he said nothing instead he hugged his mother and she hugged him back, "I won't fail you mother... not ever again", he whispered softly and soon the carriage stopped in front of a large building, it had a giant sign that said' Knights registration centre', it was the place Xander's text was going to take place.
Xander and his mom stepped inside the building and headed straight inside to register Xander's name inside, and after the necessary paperwork had been done, Xander was kelvin the number '52', apparently he was lucky as he was the last person to enter the contest as the list was now full.
Xander walked towards a mini stadium, with the spectators sitting round while there was a wide space below where the text was to take place, and Xander was called by the referee to the part of the stadium where the contestants were placed in, and fight after fight took place and soon, "contestant 52, you are needed in the stage right now", the deep and loud voice of a man, resounded in every part of the stadium, but it continued ringing in the head of a certain someone...
Xander.
