There was only one day left for the completion of the hunter test. The strange thing was that the group of three found no other participant. During the time they were defending the portal. The three met a little more.
To Shakal's surprise, Elia is a Specialist. Her skill is to create two straw dolls, one giant and one much smaller. The large doll can increase its strength and endurance depending on the amount of aura used on it. The small doll can extend the hat while it is in contact with the body of the user.She cannot use both at the same time. This would be Elia's basic skills, although clearly they were not all.
The nine female knights and queen were still hiding inside the portal. Without giving any sign of life.
There was not much time left, and the three began to head towards the beach. Along the way they did not see any other participants.
Upon arriving on the beach, apart from the group of three, there were four other people who managed to stay alive and therefore pass this test.
When the ship arrived, the examiner Esther was surprised by the small number of people who survived.
"It seems that many examiners have not been able to endure until today. It seems that the difficulty of the test far exceeded my expectations. In any case, as there are only seven people left, by the rules of the Hunter Association, all of you have passed the exam. Congratulations to all of you, you all form the generation of the 284 class. " - The examiner finished saying.
The three friends boarded the ship and were taken to a nearby city where they obtained their hunting license, in addition to obtaining information on the organization's operation.
Shakal took advantage of the arrival in the city to buy another mobile. He tried several times to call his old phone number but was out of range. You will have to wait for them to leave the portal.
The three of them stayed in a discreet hotel, with adjoining rooms. After several other days, Machi received a call from a very special person.
"I will have to go, a meeting has arisen with some friends. I already fulfilled my part of the deal, now I only need to fulfill the order of the bet. Be very careful. Until next time." - Machi said, as she abruptly said goodbye to herfriends.
Shakal quickly understood what that meeting meant, so he simply said goodbye to Machi, wishing her good luck and looking forward to their next meeting. Elia, on the other hand, had a more sentimental reaction, since in the few days together, the three of them got along very well with each other and she did not want to lose a member of her new family.
As Elia had nowhere to go, she decided to stay with Shakal. The two of them stayed two more days inside the hotel, as Shakal wanted to investigate various things. At night, Shakal took advantage of his new mobile to make a call.
After several attempts, that person finally responded.
"Hi,who is this?" - A young man said, apparently with an annoyed tone.
"Hello, It's Me." Shakal replied.
Eden quickly recognized his friend's voice.
"You finally got your license. It took a long time. I got mine much faster. " - Eden said.
"Time is relative to difficulty, don't compare my tests with yours." - Shakal said, with a joking tone.
"Whatever you say." - Eden replied.
"Have you raised enough money yet?" Shakal asked.
"Yes, you also saw my clan headquarters. He did not like my departure but as it is a tradition of our clan they have to respect it. Now I am simply Eden, no more and no less. " - He said with a cheerful tone.
"I'm happy for you, we will have to celebrate. Where you want to stay?" Shakal asked again.
"Hm, I don't know, how about we meet at Heavens Arena again?" - Eden asked.
"He decided, it will take me about twenty days to get there. I'll also bring a little friend. " Shakal said.
"Perfect. See you there." - Eden said.
After hanging up the phone, Shakal braced himself for sleep. These days he was able to rest from the accumulated fatigue of the hunter exam, recovering all his strength.
In the morning, Shakal notified Elia of her new destination. As they were on a rather remote island in the world, they decided to take the first ship bound for Dolle Harbor, from there, take another ship that would take them to the closest port city to Heavens Arena.
As the days went by, the two companions were getting closer to their destination. During the journey, the two met more. Shakal taught him how to use his nen more efficiently, and he also learned other uses of his own Nen. It seems that during the exam, the young man gained several benefits.
Arriving in the city where the famous Heavens Arena was located, the two quickly headed towards it.
Elia was surprised by the height of the tower. Since he never saw such a tall building. The two of them waited a bit beside the tower entrance, but a man quickly approached him.
Elia realized, from Shakal's expression, that he was the person they were waiting for. The two men greeted each other and hugged each other.
"Let me introduce you to Elia, I met her during the exam. His name is Eden, an old friend of mine. " Shakal said.
"Nice to meet you." - Eden said while holding her hand, the difference in height between them made Eden have to bend down to greet her.
A bit nervous Elia simply nodded without saying a word.
