"Where are we going Lucas, it is so early in the morning," Elijah asked as he saw Lucas getting ready to leave for somewhere. "I told you that we are going to the academy and I want to meet this boy that you talk about so much," Lucas said as he looked like he had packed everything that he needed
"So you mean we are going to Zephyr Academy? how are you going to get us in" Elijah asked
"The current head of the academy is my best friend, so would you like to become a teacher at the Beast Hunter Academy" Lucas asked
"At least you should know how to teach basic techniques as you do in the Beast Hunters association that you are"
"So you mean that I can be a teacher at the Beast Hunters academy? If that is the case, then we have no, then I have to get some good-looking clothes before we get there. I have been wearing the clothes you gave me for a month now" Elijah said holding his clothes and looking at his body.
Fine, we will get some new clothes. But take note that, since you are a peak-rate beast hunter you might teach the second-year students. But don't worry, we will see them take the exam.

A while ago, twenty-one recruits were on their way to the Beast Hunter Academy, a prestigious institution that trained the best hunters in the world. They were escorted by Andrew, a high-ranked beast hunter who had killed hundreds of beasts in his career. He was their mentor and instructor, and he was not easy to impress.
On their way to the academy, they saw two huge beasts blocking their path. They looked like lions but with scales, horns, and claws. They roared and snarled, ready to attack anyone who dared to cross them.
Andrew stopped the carriages and turned to the recruits. "Listen up, rookies. This is your first test. You will fight these beasts and show me what you have got. If you survive, then I know you will have a chance of being admitted into the academy. If you die, well, that's too bad. Now get out and fight!"
The recruits hesitated, but they knew they had no choice. They grabbed their weapons and jumped out of their carriages. They formed a circle around the beasts, trying to find an opening. The beasts were fast and fierce, and they did not hesitate to strike. They slashed and bit at the recruits, who tried to dodge and counterattack.
The battle was brutal and bloody. Five recruits were killed in the first few minutes, their bodies torn apart by the beasts. The others were wounded and scared, but they did not give up. They fought with courage and determination, hoping to survive.
Among the recruits, three stood out. They were Steven, Liam, and Jack. They had different styles and skills, but they worked well together. Steven and Liam used swords, while Jack used his bare hands. They coordinated their attacks, distracting and damaging the beasts.
Before they started to fight the beast Steven had received a system message saying that these beasts are intermediate-tier beasts. But Steven was not afraid, he knew that with Jack and Liam by his side, they should be able to take out an Intermediate tier beast.
Steven was agile and swift, darting in and out of the beast's reach. He slashed at its legs and tail adding his Ki energy to his attacks trying to cripple it. Liam was strong and steady, holding his ground and parrying the beast's claws. He stabbed at its chest and neck, aiming for vital spots. Jack was fearless and fierce, charging at the beast and grappling with it. He punched and kicked at its head and eyes, trying to blind it. With his Ki energy added to the attack looks like it worked.
Together, they managed to bring down one of the beasts, after a long and hard fight. They cheered and celebrated. "Damn it, I did not land the final blow on the beast. so I did not receive anything from the system". Steven said as was now looking at how the other recruits were doing against the other beasts.
In the Ironclaw, not only Liam and Jack were strong, but there was one other strong recruit and he was called Ethen. Ethen was a spear user and from the looks of it, he had been well trained.
Ethen was fast and agile and with the help of some of the recruits, it looked like they would be able to take down the second beast. dodging the beast's attacks, Ethen was able to strike the beast from the side and weaken it bit by bit. Sending Ki slashes at the beast, the beast moved to the back a little and dodged some of the slashes.
Before they knew it, a hole was made in the beast's head. The beast's head exploded, and it fell to the ground, dead. Andrew had condensed his Ki energy into a ball and shot it out from the carriage he was in. Ethen seeing this was a little disappointed that he could not kill the beast with the help of Andrew.
Andrew got out and walked towards them. He looked at the corpses of the five recruits, and then at the survivors. He nodded and smiled.
"Good job, rookies. now I know that some of you will have a chance of being admitted into the Beast Hunter Academy."
All the recruits walked back to the carriages and one of them was not happy that the beasts had attacked them. "I need to grow stronger and I have to do that at a fast rate," Steven said as he got into the carriage.

"Ok Elijah, since you are a peak-rate beast hunter you will become a teacher in the academy"
"Thank you so much sir" Elijah replied happily
"OK, Friend, I have a request to make," Lucas said as he continued talking. We want to watch the recruits during their exam to get admitted into the Beast Hunter Academy.
"Sure, why not" Noah replied. Noah was the head of the Beast Hunter Academy. A supreme-rate beast hunter.
"Great, Elijah let's go see this boy of yours," Lucas said as he started to walk away, which Elijah followed from behind.
"Let me see how much you have grown in a month Steven," Elijah said happily because he could not wait to tell Steven that he was now a Peak-rate beast hunter. I can not wait to see your reaction when I tell you that
