I'm currently in a huge auditorium that looked like a temple, there were many students around 2000 or 3000 and thousands of spectators, all their eyes were on one person, Hajime Aikawa
He was called to the stage, he approached with a stiff face as if he was nervous
-Is it Hajime Aikawa? Wow-
-He's very handsome…-
Several girls were looking at him with admiration and adoration
-…That's why people say that talent is what matters-
-Who cares if you try hard? People like him always end up in first place anyway-
-That guy was very lucky with his talent level-
And naturally he received the jealousy and envy of young people like me including myself
-It is said that he broke the elimination record in the last 10 years-
-Yes I have heard of him, his talent level is very rare right? Was he of High-intermediate rank? Right?-
The associates of many guilds who came to see the best student of the current generation, were impressed
hey were watching from the highest seats in the auditorium, however, I could hear their voices, they had to be at least a kilometer away, but as I looked at them I could hear them clearly since Nameless was listening to them and now I connected my vision and ears with that of the ghost being able to see and hear clearly
-A hunter with High-intermediate sword talent-
-Wow, we never had such a promising young man for years-
-We asked for that boy, so don't touch him-
I recognized one of the faces
Long ash-colored hair with blue tips, steel-gray eyes and a confident smile as well as a beautiful face
Ciel McGrath, the current vice master of the best guild in the US, I saw it on several TV channels but I don't care, no one is interested in me
- Ask? When it comes to students, there is no such thing-
Faced with the insensitive words sent by her guild colleague, Ciel gave a sweet smile and retorted
- Because of that mentality, our guild is being threatened with being stripped of first place?-
She was a beautiful woman with brown hair and hazel eyes, the truth is she would be my type of course if she weren't older than me
I was listening to all that conversation under the power of Nameless who connected his senses with mine. He was snooping on my orders because he was curious about the comments of the guild representatives
-Do I take that as a challenge or advice?-
-Relax, I'm just joking, besides we have three years left before we can explore any of them, plus we have "that method"-
-... You know that contacting them before graduation is illegal, right?-
-That's if they find out~-
Ciel and the man stared at each other, with their staring contest as a starting point, the atmosphere of the VIP seats began to heat up causing the fight for Aikawa Hajime to begin
-Second place, Damian Connors-
Meanwhile a certain lancer stood up
I still haven't forgotten the bad time I had because of him, now I can't rest well at night, I even have nightmares about him
The audience stirred in the same way as when Hajime approached, I could tell that they had admiration and adoration for Hajime, Damian went up on stage completely serene and calm with a neutral look
Hajime and Damian
Standing side by side, the two of them stared at each other, electricity seemed to crackle from their eyes
«But you'll see, I'll get stronger to defeat them, since I'm the eminence among the shadows»
"No, you're not, that title is already held by someone else"
«Damn ghost, stop humiliating me!!»
I was obviously not on the stage, but in a far back seat of the auditorium, I'm rank 876, no member associated with a guild even looked at me once
"Huh? Alan, what rank are you?" I'm at rank 879-
The next thing was for me, Miguel, the only friend of my age that I made, on his uniform his information plate was his name
-…Rank 876-
-Ah, well I should have guessed, but we're at least going through, right? There's no reason to be so depressed-
My friend was right
It's not the time to get depressed since something I thought was impossible happened and it came true, I've gone through many difficulties to get here and it's not the time to get depressed, you'll see, I'll make all the guilds interested in me and I'll become a millionaire hero
**
Spain, Madrid
I arrived at the cemetery with a bouquet of roses and some water to visit someone special
Every chance I got I would always go visit her
I walked and walked for a long time until I came to a tombstone
Sophia Smith, 11-03-2740, thank you for the years you were with us and for the happy times we spent together we will always remember you… rest in peace 20-01-2819
-Hello director, it's been a while… I'm sorry I didn't go visit you but I have an excuse for everything… ha, last year was very hectic, I went to the pet cemetery and visited Konstantine… I brought him the kibble he liked so much, if you two… were with me one more time you would make me very happy, I got a very nice group, I managed to get into the academy as I promised… thank you for always supporting me in my hard times, I will try to visit you as often as possible-
I bent down to put down the bouquet of flowers and then looked at my watch
[7:00 a.m.]
There is an hour and a half left until entering the academy
I got up and then began to leave the cemetery and go to my new academy
**
I returned to Island X
I had settled into a normal hotel where I put on my uniform
It was black and white with gold stripes, people who saw me in this uniform undoubtedly gave me envious glances, but I didn't just ignore them, they were probably taking the entrance exam and they lost, next time they should prepare better for next year
I took the bus and listened to music to entertain myself
When the vehicle stopped I could see a great architecture, it was bigger than a mansion and the door was very large everything was a resplendent white color that made my eyes hurt
I entered the academy and then looked for my class which was [Combat Class 1-A]
After a long walk I found it, fortunately I didn't get lost in the hallways since the interior was huge
[Combat Class 1-A]
I looked at the door of the class and sighed, I knew what this class was
The top 10 were in this class, along with the highest ranks were also there, how do I know?
Well, from the list they gave us of the class I could see my name in this class, this class will get into an uproar little by little, as a member of the class, most likely they will drag me into this regardless of my will to one of their social circles, most likely they want to turn me into a bootlicker
"Ha, you know what to do"
Nameless's words made me catch my breath, I slowly opened the door
The interior was elegant, with a blue-white tone, no trace of dust and with four long desks cascading down
«God where do I sit?»
I looked around the classroom and found Damian sitting in the far seat, his eyes closed next to him was the Japanese Hanami Sasaki with her long red hair and bright green eyes looking away but her last name "Sasaki" I think sounds familiar to me somewhere but for some reason I can't remember
The girl kept staring into space while I could notice that Damian kept staring at me with his bright red eyes in my direction which made me very uncomfortable
I sat in the seat at the end of the middle row
I looked forward seeing the huge projection screen
Wellston's semester started in March, the outside is cold and the inside is hot making me sleepy
I looked at my watch seeing that it was 8 a.m. and class started at 8:30
It's a good thing my apartment was close to the academy, the truth is I was hoping to get lost but Nameless read the entire map of the academy guiding me as if I were a lost child
…I don't want to think about it anymore, I'll sleep a bit little
I closed my eyes, let my head fall on the desk
-Good morning!!-
A loud scream stopped me from falling asleep, opening my eyes, the teacher was behind the podium
-Since today is the first day, there won't be any special training, but I hope everyone has trained, training is never wrong, especially in the morning when mana density is high-
«Morning training?»
"I like that guy"
-Well, let's start with the introductions, my name is Nishizono Hasuichi, the teacher in charge of you for this year-
He was a tall man with some dark circles, black hair and gray eyes, I could easily remember that name
-In the World Ranking I am in rank 8521, according to the classification I would be within rank B-
My eyes opened, a true B-rank hunter and being in position 8521 meant that I was very skilled
-I see that my presentation was more than enough-
It seems that the teacher seemed to like the reaction of us students, while my lips curled into a smile
-The first day is the most special, possibly they didn't sleep because of the excitement and worry, others feel good about being able to improve, or maybe they're happy to see familiar faces or see their girlfriends or ex-boyfriends again-
We all started to laugh out loud, but the laughter ended when the teacher's face became serious
-Listen, in Wellston it's not the same, there will be no time for relationships, in this academy, you will experience several real combat situations, you will also feel how dark our reality can be-
The teacher clapped his hands and then created a hologram that extended being so large that everyone could see it
-Continuing with the idea, Wellston is objective, the only indicator of your success will be your grade, the guilds will only look at your grades, therefore we will grade you precisely and strictly, if you don't perform well enough, you will repeat, less than half of Wellston students graduate without repeating a semester, even then you can only be held back for up to two years, more than that, you will be expelled, if they can't become a hunter, they will become mercenaries, I guess nobody wants that, right?-
He snapped his fingers causing the hologram to be destroyed, that scared us, the teacher paused and scanned the faces of each student
-I can recognize some familiar faces-
Of course me too, there's the spear bully, the sword monster and the only friend I made in the exam are also here, but I could see that the princess of England, Alice Aisha Lawrence sat alone and Miguel was at the far left, the first one could easily notice who it was
Long hair of fine texture of a color that seems to have been sprinkled with gold dust, clear blue eyes like jewels, white and soft skin it was easy to assume that it was the princess, besides her face is beautiful and her expression is very calm as if she had come out of a fairy tale being the heroine
-I will repeat for those who wanted to turn a deaf ear, in this academy, you will have to confirm the things you have learned so far and perfect your skills to use them in battle, there will be no type of training here, Remember that-
With that the professor announced
-Get ready, what is scheduled today will not take much time, the first task will be to select your main weapons-
*
The main weapon is what we do the most damage with, high-ranking hunters considered their weapons as a treasure since they could use their full potential from there
-Stand in front of the weapon you will use, we will give you the training weapons, but do not despise them just because they are training weapons, their market price is 500 dollars-
«Five hundred!! The sword I bought a while ago, the cheapest one cost me like 200 or 250 and these weapons almost double their value!»
There were many types of weapons, more than I would have imagined
Sword, spear, saber, dagger, bow, gun, whip, gauntlet, axe, halberd, etc… the 110 students of class 1-A stood in front of the weapon they wanted
I searched around for a good sword that caught my attention
After a long search I was able to find one, it had a black sheath but when I took it out I could notice that the edge of the sword was a grayish color
-This will do-
In the background I could see Hajime choosing a Katana, well Katana and sword have the same concept therefore it would not affect him much
══════════════════════════════════════════
[Sword of twilight]
Type: [Magic sword]
Rank: Rare
This sword was made by an old blacksmith, it increases the damage of the user's main attributes by 15%
══════════════════════════════════════════
Rare Rank
Within the weapons are the categories that we give to the weapons are divided into Common, Rare, Unique, Epic, Legendary
But also because during the "Daybreak" happened, the myths and legends of the world manifested themselves creating the Mythic rank for weapons and skills
As the sword was a long and deep weapon in history along with the spear, naturally there were many swords that descended from myths and legends
Example, Durandal, Caliburn, Galadbolg, Balmung, Gram among others, even after 600 years many of those swords remained undiscovered in Dungeons or towers, each of them was a priceless treasure, of course these treasures could only be used to their full potential if your talent with the sword was good
And so the main selection of weapons ended
**
On the way to the dorm, I could see a group of boys having a conversation, I'm not very gossipy to know something that doesn't interest me
But I could notice their eyes on me, of course I'm a low rank, they'll surely think about making me angry but they'll regret it, I could even notice their provocations
After that the group left after laughing among themselves, as I expected from boys my age, they were more interested in girls than in training
"Tsk, these boys nowadays… they only think about girls instead of getting stronger, why the hell did they join?!"
«You talk like a grandpa but remember that I also belong to that group of boys»
Alice, Hanami Sasaki and Mirai Shiva, the beauty of those three had far exceeded my wildest expectations
As I looked around with a sidelong glance, I arrived at my dormitory
«So I'll be living here»
Six extravagant skyscrapers stood in front of me
According to Professor Hasuichi, each building has 100 floors, each of which consisted of 5 rooms
The rooms were distributed according to ranks but even if each person's grades were the lowest, they were still their own room. The top 10 got the penthouses
«I'm so jealous!! I regret all this so much…!»
"Calm down now, there's no point in complaining! Remember what the teacher said: The boys are on the right, the girls on the left. The key to your rooms will be stored in the smart watches you will get now"
While the teacher continued to explain to me, other first year classes arrived, if I remember correctly the first year classes were combat, magic engineering, magic science and management, a total of four
-Alan! ALAN HARWEY!!-
-Hey, me?! Why?-
The teacher was calling me, I was distracted in my thoughts, but his eyes narrowed and his fierce gaze paralyzed me, apparently he was a little upset by my attitude, the teacher closed his eyes and sighed
-…Your video transmitter, come get it-
-Ah! Yes!-
I almost fell from shaking so much, I could hear the boys laughing at me
«How dare they laugh at me?! I am the eminence here…!»
"You are not, I already told you that."
I got angry momentarily, but I decided to forgive them, but I swore that I would take revenge on those who laughed at me in the future, since I am human garbage.
