[At first he couldn't believe that he was getting accepted into CanaBul Academy, it was the most prestigious school in the entire country that produced countless powerhouses or the strongest beast warriors in the entire history of this world, ever since it's establishment. Everyday countless individuals tries to go through the entrance exam of the academy only to be met with failures, as it had a five percent admission rate. however if get admitted it was basically guaranteed that will you have a bright future ahead of you.]
[One of the reasons of the low admission rate is the fact that the academy values talent more than anything else. Because even the nobles who tries to bribe the academy gets rejected outright. The academy also had strict rules when it comes to connections as they also judge the characters of the professors, and only hires the most honest and diligent of them. but there are still some who manages to slip by through connections and bribe, as their system to test both the professors and their students is not perfect.]
[So for Kafka who just randomly had gotten a spot on the academy is basically the same as those who used bribery and connections. But the only difference with him and the other students who did use this tomfoolery of a behavior, is that he is weak as f#ck. because even those who had only gotten admitted using bribery and connections, they still had to at least have a certain level of strength, otherwise they will become really suspicious.]
'It's too late to refuse them now, hahaha. I guess I'll really have to work hard if I don't want to get bullied...'
[As he walked to the training hall right outside the mansion. Everything looked so confusing to him, as the training hall was rarely mentioned in the novel. There are boulders of different density. In which he can only guess was used to test the destructive power one can produce. There is also an agility test room where paints, wooden spikes, and metal balls where thrown depending on the level of the user, and many more training rooms which were used to test different aspects of their poly morphed beast form.]
'Well first I'll have to enter the changing room, and pick out my weapon.'
Zip, Zip, Zip,,,,,,,
[He then wore the training suit which adjusts automatically depending on how their bodies changes shape. and picked out a weapon from the different assortments in the room, that are placed on the tables and cabinets.]
"I guess this'll do for now, this might hurt my reputation for a bit, but when it comes to fighting for survival you'll have to use everything at your disposal."
[Although weapons in this world are only seen as temporary supplemental gears to cover up for your weakness up until you reach a certain stage of poly morphing, and at times you might even get shunned depending on how many of them you use, Nevertheless he still picked up two metal wrist braces and a dagger.]
"It's to time to stretch, and without any time to rest-"
Hiyaah!! Ha!! Ha!! Hiyaah!! Ha!!
[And thus the future to come looked liked a bunch of arduous training montage....]
[Everyday he would come to the training hall early and then train for two hours, and then eat, then rest for a bit, then train again, and then finally take a bath. however he would a always have an unexpected visitor or should I say an expected one based on how many times she had done it, it was a little girl with a red hair. She would always follow him wherever he would go, but whenever he would confront her...]
"Ummm, Hi?"
Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat!
"Hello?....."
Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat!....
[However whenever he would approach her, she would quickly run away and not even say anything to him. but still she continued to watch him everyday and stare daggers at him, to the point that it made him uncomfortable and could almost be considered as stalking.]
[But one day everything would change because as he was training he would be interrupted-]
"U-Ummm, your invited to my brothers funeral!!" [As Cerra ran away, refusing to elaborate any further.]
'What the heck was that, what a weird way to invite someone especially to a funeral....'
"P-Please wait." [He felt flustered.]
'Come to think of it I had forgotten that they still hadn't held the funeral for Ryherth. obviously this wasn't written in the original novel.... Sigh, maybe because I had unconsciously wanted to forget everything that is related to him'
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
[As he didn't want to waste the only opportunity to get closer to her. He decided to run after her.]
Pant, Pant, Pant
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
[However running after her would prove to much more difficult than he had initially thought, as after just climbing up to the fourth floor he was already out of breath. because he had just finished his training, while on the other hand Cerra still had much more energy to go on. So when he had reached the stairs leading to the fifth floor, Cerra had already scaled it.]
Tap Tap, Pant, Tap Tap, Pant...
[He was out of breath, as he tried to climb up the stairs slowly with heavy steps while leaning his weight to the wall right next to him. But as he was just about to step on the last step of the stairs. He overheard the conversation between Yukiko and Cerra which made him stop...]
Yukiko: "Be careful Cerra, even if you're allowed to run around."
Cerra: "O-Okay big sister Yukiko." [As she pouted.]
Huff, Huff, Huff...
Yukiko: "Don't cause any trouble, by the way have you already told Farkas, what I asked you tell him?."
Cerra: "Y-Yes.... Big sister." [As she spoke in a bashful tone.]
Yukiko: "I-I see, then had the two of you had gotten closer at least?,"
Cerra: "..." [There was an awkward pause.]
Yukiko: Sheesh..., be honest, what do you think of him?, you can always tell your big sister you know. I'll always listen to you."
Cerra: "I-I don't hate him!!, big brother Farkas is definitely not a bad guy, I don't sense any malice from him. and it's not he's fault that brother died, he tried to save me. I-It's just that it's really hard to get close to him!!."
[Cerra poured out all of her emotions, but afterwards felt embarrassed about it.]
"F#ck..." As the guilt within him was slowly eating away at him.
[Yukiko patted her head as if to console her]
[SFX: Head pats noises]
[SFX: Cute loli noises]
Yukiko: "Sheesh..., Do you want me to help you get close to him?.
Cerra: "I-I can do it alone!!."
.....
[The next day.]
[As Kafka was doing his daily routine of training, there it was again the little girl staring daggers at him.]
"Ummm, do you want to buy the flowers for the funeral together with me?."–[He spoke while avoiding eye contact with her]
Cerra: "...."
[However that day she didn't back away from him.]
Cerra: "O-Okay!!."
[Moments later they were out in the nearby market to their mansion, Barkamsted. while the place might not be as busy as Lorentia, but still people flock here as it is near the mansion of the Ximmurths. However there were definitely more undercover guards tailing them than usual, because of recent incident. This was all caused by her parents who decided to much more stricter on both the Cerra and the guards.]
Judyrth: "You definitely can't go there!!-" [As she continued to scold Cerra]
Jyvharth: "You guards make sure to your job properly."
Guards: "Yes Sir!!"
*%KSD)(F*)S(DM#$!)#_)(*#$)%
...
[However even as he was holding her hands, as to make sure that she wouldn't get lost, they still couldn't look at each other eye to eye, and it felt very awkward.]
Farkas: "F-For starters why don't we go to that flower shop?."
Cerra: "O-Okay...."
[As they entered the flower shop, Kafka was able to find the flower that he wanted very quickly, as he had prior knowledge because he red the novel, meanwhile Cerra seems to be having trouble as it is her first time visiting a flower shop. so Kafka decided to talk to her as she might be too shy to start a conversation, but as he was about to speak-]
Cerra: "B-Big brother Farkas, why did you pick this flower.?"
Farkas: "O-Oh, this flower is named Peace Lily, it is sometimes offered for dead people as it symbolizes rebirth. It tells the person that you are offering it to, that you're wishing that their soul would be leaving this physical world for a better place."
Cerra: "T-Then I will buy lots of it, to make sure that big brother Ryherth, gets reborn!!."
Farkas: "HAHAHA, I'm sure of it your big brother will be experience rebirth. He was a good guy after all. I'm sure he'll experience a better life next time."
[As the day passed by quickly and they enjoyed each others company. It was indeed a memorable time because this marked the the day that the two had gotten closer....]
[Then the time of the funeral came, it was only a simple one, as the only one invited were servants of the mansion and the entire family, including Kafka of course.]
Judyrth: "Sob Sob Sob....."
Cerra: "B-Big. B-Brother Waahh!!!"
Jyvharth: "Snivel, Snivel."
"Waahh!!, young master!!."
Blubber!! Blubber!!
...
[Everyone mourned his death, everyone cried their eyes out, he was good child. His family couldn't accept parting ways with him, and the servants even though he still hadn't done much for them they watched him grow up, and treated him as if he was their own blood. So their expressions of sorrow and misery couldn't be hidden as everyone was grieving.]
"Fine I'll grant your wish..." [A single tear dropped from his eyes, as he stared down on his chair hiding his facial expression.]
[And soon Ryherth's body was placed underneath the soil, As they began throwing their flowers one by one. and finally after the whole ceremony was over, and they placed above his grave a plaque with his name written on it, and all that he had accomplished.]
[As the funeral was over and they were walking away, Kafka had finally came up with the wish that he had wanted.]
Farkas: "Sir Jyvharth and ma'am Judyrth, I now know the wish that I want."
[They both looked at him with anticipation.]
Farkas: "I'm changing my last name from QuickSilver to ClawBluff."
Jyvharth: "Are you sure about this?."
[Changing his last name would mean that he would be forsaking his own familial history, which doesn't seem much as it was already dragged down to the mud. He would be starting all over again, building his own reputation, power and authority. Although he would still be the one to inherit his families wealth he would no longer become a noble. While this might not seem like a bad deal, still he could've wished for something better like getting adopted to the Ximmurths family.]
Farkas: "Yes, that is what I wan-"
"Detected that the hosts identity is now complete."
"Host is now a character....."

[Then all of a sudden everything around him slowed down, everything turned black and white, and a single black glitchy screen with white texts appeared in front of him.]
Integrating System

[This system does absolutely nothing, except to tell you that you contract an unlimited number of beasts.]
