Lumiel prepared to go to hunter association together with Aizen who was in his Paladin attire. His full plated armor was shiny and made of steel. His cape draped on his back and his blonde hair fluttered in the winds.

"Ready? Wow you looked nice in that attire!" Aizen said to him.

Lumiel was on his red and black sweater and pajamas. He wanted to be comfy as he will register in the hunter association that has tests like physical fitness tests.

Aizen then accompanied him to the Hunters' association and they talked along the way.

With the opportunity given to him, he copied his friend's class.

....

[5 minutes has passed.....50% chance to copy the class]

[Paladin class copied!]

[Skills have 40% weaker state]

Skill: Physical and Elemental shield

Skill: Elemental Imbuement

.....

Lumiel told him that he has awakened a class and that was the Arcanist class. Aizen was a bit emotional, he was too happy for Lumiel to have a class at last.

"Well, here we are, I am excited!" Aizen patted his back rapidly.

Lumiel coughed a bit until Aizen stopped.

"Hmm, Lycan, Druid, Paladin, Berserker, Healer, and more! Can you tell?" Aizen asked.

"Yes, there are numerous here," Lumiel was observing.

"Just look at that! There are S class hunters here too!" Aizen pointed to the where the crowd was gathering.

It was Garen, the S class Paladin. Others were also present. Each class has only one S class rank and they were not replaced for a long time. Only a few were A rank and there were more in B.

They just arrived at the hunter's guild and saw numerous hunters all armored and equipped with weapons. With him the only one who has nothing at all. He immediately went to the market stalls and bought a broad sword. Putting the sheathed weapon on his back waist and then buckled its belt on his body.

The Hunter's guild has a vast hall. Also has more rooms for testing the capabilities of one hunter.

Lumiel went to the registration desk and inquired how to register.

The man in his front was wearing a suit with a bow tie. He has a black pants and was wearing an eyepiece on his left eye. A man in his fifties with white hair and mustache.

"Sir, I would like to register as a hunter. What requirements do I need?" he asked. Minding that he still doesn't know what the requirements were.

"There is nothing needed. Only evidence that you are awakened," he said in a tone that was lifeless. Lumiel thought that he was doing the same speech at all times when someone was asking.

"Ah, I see. Where can I test it out?" he asked.

"Fill up the information first then we will proceed to the testing area," he replied, hands touching his eyepiece.

Lumiel filled up the form and then submitted it to the desk. He was immediately instructed to follow him.

"This room is for testing your stats. The next room was for your class and your ranking in prowess. I guess that's it, I will be back on my post." he said then left.

The testing room was having testers for different stats. Also, having each designated person for each single one of them. Lumiel then proceeded to the testing area.

First was the punching machine. The assigned person then tested him. He has the same uniform as the front desk person.

Lumiel then readied and clenched his fist. He gripped his hands and made his stance. Thighs slightly bent and then he inhaled air.

Boom!

He punched the punching machine and it moved from its original position into several meters away.

"Nice!" he bellowed.

Next was the sidesteps. He crouched and then in a minute, he sidestepped. Making him do such task made a whooshing sound and blurr. Also making after image while doing so. Air was felt from him.

After a minute, they measured how many times he went back and forth sideways.

The testers were amazed at his performance and then gulped their saliva.

He went to the next test which was the vertical leap. He readied and then when the signal was made, he leaped and made it upwards by several meters.

The next test was the dashing speed. He went to a mini tracking field and they all prepared while in their dashing position.

Ready, go!

Lumiel then dashed and his speed was like a propelled slingshot. His dash made a booming sound as he left. He made it to the first lap while others were still not halfway yet.

The assigned testers were amazed and their mouths agape. The records were being broken one at a time.

Next was the whack a mole. He grabbed the hammer and then smashed the moles that were popping out.

His smashes were so loud and fast that it made the other testers to look at his test. Others were also disturbed by such sounds.

Next was the thrown ball evasion. He was fired with balls that was propelled with a machine. He has to evade the balls and being hit was game over.

He evaded the balls while sidestepping then the level of the speed of propelling was heightened with each time he passed the level. Up until the highest level. The room was full of balls and the balls bounced on the walls and ceiling. The last level was broken once again.

Next was the treadmill endurance. He jogged on the treadmill and it was getting faster and faster. Making him expend his stamina on the process. He was dashing until the machine broke. His speed and stamina was recorded and it once again broke the record.

He then finished the tests and rested. It was a very tiring process for him. He then waited for his result and then the results was up.

He has the highest record ever since the S classes made their records. His physical capabilities were already on the stage of S class.

He then went to the testing area for his class. He sat on the chair while facing a table.

He saw a man in a suit and bowtie with eyeglasses. He was given numerous skill pages of different job classes and ripping it up will make you acquire the skill. This was to show how generous the Hunter's guild. If you ripped one, you will gain the skill. If your ripped skill page responded like acquiring the skill, then you have that job class. If not responding then you don't have that job class.

"Rip the skill pages and then we will know your job class." he said to Lumiel.

But knowing this, Lumiel ripped the Arcanist class. And so he ripped one after another, specifically the Berserker, Lifestealer, Lycan, Druid, and Healer. Making the tester shocked.

"Eh?" the tester was shocked and his glasses went down from his nose.

He ripped and ripped, acquiring the skills in the process. He then grinned at him after the skill pages responded by acquiring the skills.

[Arcanist: Skill upgrade added]

[Berserker: Rage mastery added]

[Lycan: Beast aura added

[Druid: Spirit Armor added]

[Lifestealer: Mana steal added]

[Healer: Health switch added]

[Paladin: Heavy hitter added]

"Wait? What is your class? Then what should I write here?" he asked, "Only one job class can be written here,"

Lumiel was laughing, "Nah, you are just seeing things. I am an Arcanist. Plus it was rare," Lumiel said to him.

"I see, okay. But that job class was just support." he asked.

"Yes," replied.

He was tested for his job class, his job class was a support. It was the Arcanist class and was a second line of defense and a support of first line of defence. Now his next test was his combat capabilities or rank.

Specifically the ranks of S class, A rank, B rank, and last, C rank.

He was needed to duel one combat master to evaluate his potential. First test was to defeat the C rank combat master. And so he headed there.
