The day of the exam to obtain the Blessed License has arrived.The exam time is 10:10 in downtown Seoul.So Grisha woke up in the morning and made all the preparations, then he set off on the road taking the subway.
While traveling by subway, he was analyzing the dagger bought with one thousand from an old man named Davis. Although it cost a little it was well defined and with a very sharp blade, if he had bought a dagger from a professional shop he would have had to pay at least ten thousand dollars .
After an hour he arrived at his destination, the testing agency of Blessed, the place where he will take the test to obtain the License.
„Hmm, so this is where I'll get my license."
In front of the building stood a lot of reporters who wanted to be the first to catch the important news, Blessed became a kind of celebrities.
"If only I could somehow get through them"
He slipped through the crowd and entered the agency.
Inside the agency there were a lot of people who came to take the exam.
„God help me get above Rank C, above Rank C, Rank C..." kept saying a man biting his nails, apparently he had a family to support and needed a high Rank to earn a lot of money.
"haha, Rank C, God help me get anything, but not Rank E"says a young man who was stressed like him.
Grisha comes and sits on the next seat, waiting with the other participants.
It is 10:10 a.m., the first person enters and after 5 minutes leaves in tears.
„Why did I get Rank E? why God??? Why?"
Now it's the person's turn who wants at least Rank C to feed his family .He gets up shaking a little after seeing the first guy and enters the room,he also comes out in five minutes, but with a big smile on his face.
„Yes, yes, I got Rank C, now I can pay my debts and feed my family.Ohh, Thank you God."
„Grisha Efron please enter the room to take the test." says the lady who guides the participants.
"I'm Coming Right Now"says Grisha getting up and walking into the testing room without any emotion, he was sure that he would get at least Rank E.
After entering the room, he noticed a beautiful woman with long legs,a well-defined figure and a pretty face.
„Hey handsome,stop looking at me , I know I'm beautiful too, but there is a limit, come here , let me explain to you the method of taking the test"
Grisha blushed, he is not the kind of person who would do such a thing, but the beauty in front of him was overwhelming.
„My name is Dina Meyer, Rank A, and I am the person who will supervise you during this test.The test consists of two stages, the first is the measurement of physical strength and mana using this crystal and the punching power tester, the second stage is the demonstration of skills."
Okay, so what should I do with the crystal?
„Try to infuse mana into it."
„How do I do that?"
„Ahh, you should have known already,try to focus and feel the core of mana in the center of the chest, after feeling it you must imagine that you are channeling the mana in the core through your hand into the crystal."
Grisha tries to do as he is told , he feels the core in his chest and channels the mana through the hand into the crystal. Suddenly the crystal glowed red .
„It looks like you have a low mana level, Rank E to be exact. Now try to hit this machine with all your might."
„Ahhh...hah(punch noise)"
The machinery emits some sounds and shows the number 530.
„So...it looks like you have Rank D strength ,now we have to move on to demonstrating the skills. How many skills do you have?"
„I only have one skill"
"What is the name of the skill? And what does it do?"
"It's called Shadow Summoning, and it summons 4 controllable shadows."
"Okay, let's write it down, now activate the skill to confirm."
„Shadow Summoning " says Grisha and four shadows appear.
„Ok, it seems like a useful skill especially for assassins, so we will mark you in the license as an assassin. Now order them to hit the machine to test their strength"
The four shadows hit the machine and score 265 points each.
„It seems that they are quite strong, but also agile, so we will note the skill as rank C. So it follows that your Blessed license will be of Rank D."
" Alright , when will I get my Blessed license?"
„You will receive the license right now.Here, take it"
„Thanks"said Grisha happily.
"Thanks for your cooperation, I wish you a safe career as Blessed."says Dina as she guides him out of the room.
When he came out, he was surrounded by some guild recruiters.
„Hello, we are from the Tigris guild, we would like to ask you what Rank you got?"
„Hello,where are from the Lizard guild,we would like to ask the same question."
„I'm Rank D"Grisha says bluntly as he knew that if they heard the answer they would leave.
„Ohh, a D Rank,we don't need such Blesseds in the guild, we have too many anyway."
„Excuse us please."
It happened exactly as Grisha assumed, the recruiters left immediately after they heard the Rank.
After leaving the Association, he receives a notification from the system.

„Looks like I have one more reason to enter a Gate today. Now I have to look for the nearest Rank E Gate with goblins."
After a few minutes of searching...
„Found one!And it is only 2 km away and it is a permanent Gate that can be cleaned several times .I'm going to her right now."
Grisha heads towards the Gate and arrives at the Gate in 20 minutes.
„So this is the Gate, I didn't expect an object of destruction to be so beautifully colored, now I better go and get permission from the guards of the Gate to enter it."
Grisha approached the guards.
„Hello sir, to enter the Gate you need to show us your License."said one of the guards.
„Here, take a look "
„Okay, now that I've checked, you can enter the Gate, please have a nice hunt."
Many thoughts crossed Grisha's mind, he did not believe that he would ever get to enter a Gate with the purpose of cleaning it, his heart was full of feelings of happiness but also of fear, because the Gates as far as he found out are very dangerous and even now every day hundreds of professional Blesseds find their death in them but it doesn't seem like he has another option.
Thus Grisha enters the Gate and what he sees inside completely shocks him.
„I read information on the Internet about the beauty of the Gates, but I did not expect it to be so alluring and overwhelming, you can't even tell that you are no longer on Earth.You feel like you are on a trip to a natural reservation."
„That's it, I have to concentrate, now I'm in a very high danger area, I'm not on Earth so I always have to keep my eyes open.For starters, I'd better find some goblin tracks."
Grisha was going deep into the forest, and while he was going deeper he found some goblin tracks which he recognized thanks to the information gathered from the Internet.
He looks at the tracks found, analyzes them and says:
„I found him! ,my first target, a lost goblin."
