After a long and peaceful night, the dawn of the last day in the house came. Acht was already awake and ready to leave. He could've stayed and searched more in the library about other things but he wasn't keen on that idea since he was never a bookworm, to begin with.

He just read because he had no other choice unless he wanted to stay oblivious which increases the chances of his death.

"That fatty gave me a good fortune. That's convenient." Remarked Acht while looking at the pile of gold coins in front of him. It was indeed a fortune that will make anyone in the slums drool uncontrollably.

Then, after having a simple breakfast, he left the house. There were no lingering emotions for him since the only thing he did there was: eat, study and kill.

People will soon smell the smell of rotten corps and they will barge into the house which is why Acht left this quickly in the first place.

'There are also the other people with that fire user. They will probably come to see why he didn't come back.' Thought Acht as he crossed the street and turned around to reach the main road.

The road was incredibly massive, it stretches from the outskirts of bluerise city all the way to the center. Many people use that road as a main traveling route and so it became an indispensable thing for trading in this city.

When Acht left the slums, the scenery around him completely changed. From people with bicycles or on foot going back and forth to cars and trucks that have a very huge resemblance to earth. It was to the point where many would think this was a mirror world of earth.

There was also another change, the spirit and the vibe that these people gave totally contrasted that of the slum inhabitants. They were smiling with eyes full of hope far from any hardships or suffering. They probably never worried about food or where to sleep. They never worried about getting killed or beaten up.

'Life is really unfair.' Thought Acht with a complicated gaze. He wasn't one of those lucky people but he paved his way out of misery with pure resilience and dedication and that was his belief.

'Even if someone falls behind at the beginning, what matters most is how you end up at the finish line.'

With such thoughts, Acht walked for minutes looking left and right and asking people for direction. Finally, he found himself standing in front of a huge building.

Most of it was covered with glass with elegant decorations on the front. It was a very luxurious building no matter how you look at it.

A huge sign with the words 'hunter association' was plastered on top of doors.

Two guards were standing on each side of the door holding nothing and gazing coldly in a straight line.

'They're strong. As expected of the strongest organization in the world.' He thought as he passed the gates unbothered to take a second look at them. They also didn't talk to him since he was nothing but a small kid.

Inside, Acht found himself in a massive reception lounge. The place was bustling with people. Most of them were there to register as hunters while some of them were full-fledged ones who were trying to take some missions.

"Welcome to the hunter association. How may I help you?" Acht was called immediately by one of the many receptionists at the Desk.

She was a slightly beautiful woman with a cheerful smile that gave people a good impression.

"I'd like to register for the hunter examination." He answered.

The woman's smile almost broke as she looked at him with a complicated gaze.

"Mm, are you sure about this?" She asked with clear hesitation.

"Yes."

"I see, then please fill this paper with your information and then return it to me." She said as she pulled out a registration paper.

Acht didn't mind her worried gaze since he was, in the eyes of the others, nothing but a small child.

Acht left the reception desk and sat on one of the tables to fill his paper. Many of the people present for the test looked at him with all kinds of emotions.

Some looked at him with pity, others looked at him with surprise and some even looked at him with disdain.

"What is a kid doing here? Does he have a death wish?" One asked

"Beat me, young and arrogant brats are everywhere. He will know how grave his mistake is when he faces real danger." The other answered as he shook his head.

'Ignorance is a blessing for these idiots.' he thought with a neutral gaze not even shifting his eyes away from his piece of paper.

He then filled in his information. It wasn't something very detailed, just the name, age, and some minor warnings including potential death and heavy injuries.

After that, he returned to the receptionist and gave her the paper. She read it once and said, "That is perfect, please head straight in that way for your appraisal. They will also give you all the details you need to know for the test. Good luck!"

She pointed at a big door to the side of the reception lounge. Acht left toward the door along with many others like him. The nervousness and fear could be seen in their strained expressions. Everyone was fearful of the test.

"I heard that out of 50000 candidates that register each year, only 1000 are able to pass."

"What?! Really? That's a 2% chance of passing?"

Acht heard the conversation happening behind him. It was a lie if he wasn't surprised by the number but he was also quite interested to see which kind of test could eliminate this huge number of people.

The group passed the door and found themselves directly in another gigantic room that looked like a hall. The walls were made out of marble and the floor was covered with red carpets. It was akin to a party hall rather than an examination hall.

There were thousands of people present inside the room waiting for the appraisal.

Acht looked around for a moment before finding an empty place to sit down. He was intending to idle around for some time.

A few minutes after he sat down, a loud voice called for him.

"Hey, you!"

'Here we go, and I thought this test would pass peacefully.' Acht shook his head with a loud sigh. He wasn't in the mood to deal with brain-dead trash cans so he preferred that he wouldn't be called out. However, he underestimated the fact that he was the only kid in that room.

"I'm talking to you, fucker!" The guy yelled again. He was a fairly young guy, almost 20 years of age with blonde hair and an irritating face.

"What do you want?" He asked calmly.

"What is a small kid like you doing here, they're not giving free candies you know?! Hahaha!" He spoke with a smile and then laughed at his own joke.

"Could you please mind your fucking business? How pathetic could you be to try to pick on a small kid? Have some self-esteem."

The words that came out of Acht's mouth made the blonde guy frown greatly. Many people heard their conversation and they were snickering quietly at him. He was trying to impose his dominance and so he chose Acht as his target who ended up backfiring at him.

"Y-You fucking bastard!"

"Psst, that's your best comeback? You could've asked me for help on how to retort. I can give you some tips." The boy laughed in disdain.

At this point, the blonde guy was blushing furiously with embarrassment. He was totally destroyed by a small kid.

As he was about to speak, a loud sound took his attention and he looked behind. One of the people near him muttered, "It's starting."

At the end of the hall, a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Most of the people were surprised by her appearance but their surprise turned to shock when they saw her face.

She was an extremely beautiful woman in her 20s. She had long and silky smooth red hair and a well-sculpted face worthy of attention. But, what was the most eye-catching about her was her body.

She wore a one-piece dress that covered her body yet also accentuated her amazing assets.

She was a beauty in every sense of the word.

"Holy God, she looks amazing?"

"Is it even possible to be that beautiful?"

"I'm hard."

The woman ignored the lustful gazes of the men since she grew accustomed to those kinds of stares. She then took a small breath and spoke with a cold tone.

"My name is Scarlett Goldknight and I will be the one to supervise the appraisal for this year's hunter examination."

All kinds of reactions came out of the men in the room. Even Acht was surprised, but his surprise had a whole different reason.

'Scarlett Goldknight? Isn't she…one of the heroines?!'
