When I finished all the shopping. It's 8 AM already... So I quickly go back home and give Mom and Rie everything.
"Mom. I'll leave the food to you. I have some friends to hang out with! I will be back in an hour or so!"
"Okay Son. Take care!"
I leave the house in a hurry and head straight to the Association building... Because I can't be late if I want to take my test... I need to be there exactly at 8.30 so that I can test my energy...
I manage to arrive on time... I speed up like crazy. Not afraid of death because I know that I am strong enough to take some crash... Don't do that though..
I go inside the building and the clock shows 8.28 AM. Such a perfect time for me to arrive... I sit down on the couch and waited for my name to be called...
Seconds passes by... And then Minutes passes by... 8.30 AM arrive and immediately, the Intercom called my name.
"Awakeners Taiga Amanex please come to the Second Test Room. Once again, Taiga Amanex please come to the Second Test room. Thank you."
Immediately... I make my way toward the Second Test Room... People look at me because I'm young. They never thought that at such a young age I can become an Awakeners... But I ignore all of that gaze and continue down the path I believe in... I can't let other people judge me like I'm crazy because I'm young. I will let them see that I'm good and still young.
Anyway... I enter the Second Test room and I saw some pretty strong man... He's wearing some suits and I know for a fact that he's an official... But to think that the one who's going to test me is this strong... It's pretty amazing...
"Taiga Amanex. You're the one who saved Myu from the Dungeon Break right?"
"... Eh? Y-You know me Sir?"
"Yes. I'm Myu's Father. I'm the Head of the Association, Lucas Miura."
L-L-L-L-Lukas Miura?!
I immediately bowed down to the great Lukas Miura. He's the great and respected Lukas Miura... The first ever, Original Awakened in this country. He's also the first person to reach S Rank in the country...
T-T-To think that Myu is his daughter... Is pretty intense... Phew! I nearly dodge a bullet back then! If I decided to run away... I will have to face the consequences...
"Nice to meet you sir! I'm Taiga Amanex! I'm 18 Years old and I'm in the same school as your daughter! I'm really glad that she's safe when I found her and I'm also very glad that I manage to at least safe her live!"
"No no no! Don't be too tense now. It's me who need to thank you... Also, you don't need to act like that. Just talk normally... If not... Myu would get mad at me... She might think that I force you to talk like that... So, please talk naturally... She's watching me from a far right now..."
"Eh? Aaah... Okay Sir... Thank you for your opportunity... I'm a big fan of you sir."
Sir Lukas just smiled and then move on to the side line... He just look at the test machine and stated...
"Since you feel like you're familiar with the test... I won't explain to you. Just do your best and try to blow my expectation. For starter, I expect you to have the same power as an Upper Rank A."
"Yes Sir. I won't disappoint you!"
Once again... The world has given me a chance to grow... From I'm young... Well, Ever since I'm very young... I always planted this mindset. That it's not like you didn't get your chance... It's just that... When you were presented with a chance. You didn't use it...
The greatest sport person of a certain sport also say in his documentary that... When your chance arrive... Grab it and never look back... People will always try to claw their ways back... And when you look back... That's when their claws strike you down.
The First test... Is an Energy Test...
I take my stance... Which is the First Style of Sixth Heaven Martial Arts...
"Fuuuh.... Haaah..."
I stomp the ground lightly and releases all of my energy to hit the Testing Stone... The Wind continuously hit the Energy Testing Stone... The Amount continuously goes up... Making my rank goes higher and higher...
I continue to pour all of my energy to the Stone through the Earth Shattering Stomp. And finally... The last stretch.
"ORAAA!"
A Wind Dragon appear and then strike the test crystal down... Now I can relax and let the rest of my energy get counted on...
"Hooo!!! That energy amount! It's bigger than I thought it would be!"
Even Sir Lukas were impressed... And at the end... The Wind Dragon from the Earth Shattering Stomp stopped... And when I look at the score... It's 110.329.
"Whooh~ Is it Good sir? I feel like It's good... Since I feel good after I release that amount of energy."
I asked Sir Lukas about it. And he just clapped his hands a couple of time in a slow interval like he's impressed.
"Impressive. I will tell you a secret. 100.000 Points... Is an S Rank Territory. You just passes that territory with your energy."
S Rank?! Let's fucking go!!! I know all of this training won't go to waste! I'm glad that I grind my life out ever since I'm small! I pass the S Rank test in my first go!
"As I expected. It's just not your courage that is impressive... You're also strong... I read your registration and it seems like you just become an awakened yesterday when you clear the Dungeon Outbreak. Right?"
"Yes Sir. Before I meet with Myu... My instinct told me to run away... Literally... The only thing in my mind is to run away and save your own life. But my mind doesn't want me to run away... Because I've promised myself... To become a hunter... In order to repay all of the kindness that my Family has given me... They sacrifice quite a lot just to believe in my dream."
"Hmm! Impressive. You have the courage that many other people don't! That alone makes you already far FAR stronger than most hunters. The fearless feeling in the face of danger. And you decided to save people rather than save yourself. It's people like you that not only the Association needed... But the whole world needed."
Yes. I realize that as well. But it's impossible for the whole world to do something that I do. Because some of them doesn't want to die a meaningless death. But for me, I'm willing to sacrifice my life... If that means I can save peoples life.
"Alright then. The first test is complete. Now, move on to the next test!"
"Yes Sir."
Sir Lukas is impressed enough with my ability... But I'm not done yet Sir! I will pass all the test with a flying score!
