*Outside Hunters Association Tower*
Koji is standing outside of the tower admiring it's height.
"I bet even a dragon can't go that high." he said with an impressed look but then remembered who the first ever dragon he met was and sighed.
"Nah, a dragon can go that high and even shatter this building into pieces. Well that's that."
Koji came to the tower for creating his own squads and become one of the seven generals.
"According to what General Kamiya told, there's a training ground in one of the underground floors in this tower and if I get a sufficient amount of points, I'll be directly made a general. Now I see why most of the muscle heads are generals. Comparing to them, Kamiya is mature and it's shocking that she's just twenty-one. Well anyways, let's get in."
Koji walked inside and the very first thing he experienced was a ball of paper thrown on his face.
There was a whole group of dozens of people waiting for Koji to enter the building. The area was noisy as hell.
The people there were of the squad of General Muto Hisoka, they were in that area to get revenge from Koji for insulting their General.
Most of them were some high paid officers, mostly corrupt.
"GET OUT YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
"YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE!"
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO A GENERAL YOU INSECT!"
"WE KNOW YOU USED SOME TRICK! THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD HAVE DEFEATED HIM!"
These were the voices of all those against Koji but he was ignoring them all and walking forward until he heard that shout.
"YOUR SISTER IS ALSO UNDER SIR MUTO, SHE'S GONNA PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!"
Koji jumped to that guy in an instant and used the same skill as the orc, 'fear'.
Only a small amount of it was enough to make that man go on his knees and tremble.
"Could you please say that again? I didn't quite catch it." Koji said with a smirk.
"Now now, this is no place to fight sir. Please forgive this man's rudeness."
A man that came from the VIP lift said.
"SIR!" everyone present, including the rebels got into their position in respect.
Koji looked at the man and recognized him immediately.
'This bastard is the fourth General...the one with a corruption level higher than Muto.' he thought
'For now I should act like I only met him.'
Koji walked up to him and asked.
"Now who are you? Your presence sure is different from every other asshole here." he asked.
"WHAT DISRESPECT! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS!?" a man shouted from behind.
'Why do I think this happened before too....oh...same case back from when I met Muto.' he thought.
"Oh please, you shouldn't exaggerate that much. But forgive me for my late introduction, I am Toma Keiji, the fourth general."
"Oh? another general? I am Matsuoka Koji, unranked hunter. So what do you want from me?"
"Oh nothing really. But I just had a thought if you were interested in-"
"Nope I'm not, I'm busy right now so later. Bye!" Koji said as he walked right passed him to the reception.
"I would like to sign up for a rank trial." he told the receptionist.
"V-very well sir, please follow me." she responded nervously.
"Some guys are hard to win over." Toma sighed.
The receptionist took Koji to the training area.
The room was filled with normal people. Some to increase their ranks and some to sign up as a hero.
But all of them were low on spirit.
Koji went inside the magic power testing room where a drop of blood was used to check the magic capability of a hunter.
"Please put a drop of your blood on this machine. You may cut using this knife." she said as she passed the knife.
"Oh no, it won't cut through. I'll use my hands." he said as he slashed his finger with another finger.
He made a tiny cut and poured his blood drop on the machine while the receptionist and the blood checker were totally confused.
"Now what?"
"Oh wait, let me quickly run the test." the man said.
He ran the test and he machine started to operate but something was wrong.
"Huh, it's not giving an accurate value. It's- It's way too overpowered, the machine can't handle it, IT'S GONNA EXPLODE! MOVE!" he shouted and just a second later, the machine exploded.
"What was that about?" Koji asked in confusion.
[Notice : The blood that runs in you is of a Goddess so it will self destruct eventually.]
'This is unusual. The last time it happened was when the commander checked his rank..'
" I'm so sorry sir, but you will have to move on to the next test."
"Alright then." he replied to the man.
The receptionist took Koji to the next room.
The next room was of physical test. The hunters were given several challenges to overcome and their result would determine their rank.
The first one was weigh lifting. Those who could lift 100 kilograms were D rankers, 150 for C rankers, 200 for B rankers, 300 for A rankers and anyone above it could be certified for becoming a general or a captian.
The difference between a captian and a general is only of authority. Nothing less or more, general can basically command captain like any other hunter.
"Sir, you may help yourself with the weights." the receptionist said.
Koji went for the 300 kg weight which got the attention of everyone.
"You fool. You really think you can lift it? Give it a try if you want." a strange man said.
Koji used his one hand and lifted up the weight easily.
"Wha- how can he..so easily."
"Is that all or do you have more heavier weights?" Koji asked.
"Y-yes, let me guide you to them." the receptionist replied.
'What a strange guy' she thought
She took Koji to another room which had weights of about 5000 kg. They were unique heavy Stones which the floor could barely handle.
Koji relentlessly went for the heaviest weight and tried to lift it with one hand.
"Ughh, this is heavy." he said as he couldn't pick it up.
"Sir don't play around, you may start from the lightest."
"No, I'll use my both hands now."
He put his both hands on the big stone and gripped it tight.
[Activate Skill 'Strenght Boost'?]
"Yes"
Koji tried to pull up the stone and with a little effort and the use of the skill, he did it.
The weight increased so much that the floor started to break down.
"Sir you can put it down now or else we'll all fall!"
"Alright." he replied and dropped it.
"So, is this it? Can I get my rank now?" he asked.
"Not yet, there's a test left. A fight with an upper ranked hunter. Usually it would be a C ranked but I'll call an A ranked for you. So please wait for an hour or two."
"Hmm, Alright."
"And what's your type sir?"
"Type?"
"Each hunter is rather a mage, a swordsman, an archer, an assassin, a necromancer. What is yours?"
'I can do it all...but sticking out that much will cause trouble so for now, I'll select..'
"I am a Slayer."
"A Slayer? Alright thank you, now if you could be patient. I'll call the hunter right away." she said as she walked away.
"A hunter for a fight huh, I wonder who he would be. And damn that receptionist is cute!"
