(Chapter 1)
The MAGIC EVALUATION TEST
In the classroom, a boy in student's uniform after hearing the story his class teacher just told to all of her students, with clear mind and facial expression clutches his fist and murmured to himself only, that:
"I too will one day become a national-level hunter."
Suddenly bell sound rings in that whole corridor and teacher said "Its launch time kids, so enjoy your launch in the mean time." And then she goes away from the classroom.
Everyone goes here and there with their launch box and some with empty handed with their friends to kill time, while some remain in classroom talking with each other about recent incidents related to dungeon raids and hunters.
One boy named Charles of 17 years of age called his friend and asked about the recent A-rank dungeon raid of famous 'Ice Guild' near Normandy that happened few days back.
Another says "Ohh Yes! I heard that it was proven to be the successful one, as monsters this time were a bit tough ones though, so it takes time for them to clear it."
One of their classmate intervene and says "Hey guys, I even heard that there are even some minor casualties been also reported this time since it was their 3rd A-rank dungeon raid only. Though it's being officially reported that no one died."
One girl says "Gosh it's really hard now-a-days for even one of the early well known hunter guild to clear an A-rank dungeon hah, hopefully we are safe because of them. Hehehe... (Chuckles)
In mid of all this conversation someone, while sitting quietly on one side of the classroom just hearing this all talks (none other than our MC) quietly while thinking and saying to himself:
"Tch…..seriously they are really only care about those things, while avoiding the bigger picture. Of course there are more recent usual events in regard to the raids of Ice Guild in whole France."
Ice Guild as the name suggest had formed recently around 2 years back only in France and at current, comprised of total 30 officially registered hunters, apart of Guild Leader herself which makes a total count of 31. Most members of this guild are D and B-rank hunters with only 6 A-rank hunters including guild leader. It mainly prefers ice magic talent and gives special privileges to those hunters which are experienced in magic class. As their leader 'Noara' is an A-rank ice mage given the title of 'Ice Queen' due to her unique personality and talent. Her personal efforts in securing the records of clearing the maximum lower D and B-rank dungeons of the city, made her guild and her members reach at such height in current time.
While thinking of all this about "Ice Guild" he thought with dissatisfied expression that when he's going to awakened an unique talent of himself?? (While gritting his teeth in agony)
In mid-set of all this a girly hand stretched towards our MC back and someone called his name:
"Heyyyyy Paul! Don't tell me you again got deep into that thought." (She struck his shoulder and said with clear and loud voice)
"Aaaah Laura! It's you hah. Well in that case you know my current conditions, don't cha." (Paul replied)
A girl with black short hairs, brown eyes, light-brown skin and around the same age of his, in the same school uniform, standing beside him while folding her both arms. Expressing concern on MC thought just now.
Laura and Paul are best friends since the time they are kids, as there both father's works in a same working department and can even said to be each other colleague, which ultimately led both of their family to meet with each other and to know each other better. They both had completed their early education through different primary schools but this time they were accidently enrolled in the same high school, though their classes are different and located on different floors.
"Man didn't your head just hurts while thinking of all this, even though you still just a high school student here??" (She asked)
"That just the bullshit reason to stop thinking about all the things going around you, especially when we soon going to enter in our final year of high school study."
His concerned deepened, as he narrow his eyes and said with clear and silent tone.
"You know very well that soon the 'Magic Evaluation Test' (MET)) is going to be held in our school, by the 'Hunter Association' and some top high officials will also be present there."
Her expression changed into a silent and concerning one after hearing those words, as she also knows what it meant to be an eligible one in such a test and also if not.
Ever since this world got expose to foreign or magical energy for too long, not only the world had changed but also this energy had even got mixed with human DNA resulted in the magical mutation of newly born children all over the world. It was first time being seen and observed in 2030 (5yrs of 1st dungeon break) in US only and from that point on, this MET was decided to organize by the "International Hunter Council" (Formed in 2026), as technology and society developed and adapt further to their current situation.
"Magic Evaluation Test" or "Hunter Valuation Test", there are many other names of this. It organized in every Secondary High Schools of all over the different European countries by their respective Hunter Association Dept, in order to verify and choose those students with high magic conductivity and good physique, since there's a high chance that they will grow into a strong hunters in future and protect the life of civilians. And for this they even got under the personal training sessions that organized by the dept officials and govt personally give their funds to make it happened. This same goes for France to.
"But still it's not like you already know what would be the result in your case would you? And even if still something like that happens I will be with you, so don't worry and not think too much about it, until that time itself not comes." (She said that while holding one of his palm tightly, trying to convincing him.)
After a deep sigh he replied "Ok! I will try not to think too much about this all, thank you Laura your words are really helpful."
"No problem, after all we both are friends since childhood."
They both smiled while looking each other and bell rings again, as slowly all students get back to their classes and seats. And next lesson continues.
........After an hour, when school time over and all students were going back to their homes. Paul and Laura closing and locking all classrooms while talking about other things.
"Hey Paul! do you have any plans for this upcoming Sunday?? If not, why not you go with me to somewhere nice for passing out sometime??"
She asked with hope
"Hmmmm….Ok let me think about it a bit. I will inform you later about it through text."
'OK '(She smiles)
While on his way to home Paul thinks about what he can do for this upcoming Sunday. Shall he go with her friend to spend some time or as usual he just study for his upcoming school exams and MET???
"Whatever, let's think about it after dinner on the bed." (He said to himself)
