The Recruitment

Gazing at the far away North, The looked in Dylan's handsome face looks so distant, he remember his Father and his only friend Emily.

'Wait for me, I'll be back with honor and glory'

Early in the morning, wearing plain blue shirt and pants he made his way to Army garrison where the recruitment registration is located.

"Eh? What's going on here?'

Why are there so many people in line? Don't tell me they are all here to register to the recruitment"

Dylan never expected that several hundred people are here and there are also many soldiers in the perimeter patrolling.

"Yes they are, just why do you think they are here for?"

"Ohhh? Sorry James, I thought that only few wants to register as soldiers, are they all not awakened?"

James Ezra, while walking to the direction of the garrison he met this person, at first Dylan thought that this guy is quite suspicious because he is wearing black hooded jacket that even covers his face.

"I'm surprised you want to be a soldier without knowing anything huh"

"Sorry"

'Well he is mysterious person but he can't feel any ill intent with him.

"The answer to your question is no! Contrary to what you believe most of them are awakened, but with physical attribute magic for example are Physical enhancement magic, which is suitable for being a soldier, there are also few mage who register every month"

Physical Enhancement Magic, just as the name suggests this magic focuses on body strengthening.

Most well known soldiers have this kind of magic but also differ on how much they can enhance their selves.

"and to tell you the truth, almost all not awakened individuals fail the examination and so their number is little, they are also commonly sacrifice or bullied in the camp"

While telling this to Dylan, James observes the change in Dylan's facial expression and to his surprise Dylan looks so unfazed about the truth.

"Attention Everyone!!

For all of those who are already registered! Go to grass field for the announcement of your exam!!!"

I repeat!!" For all of those who are already registered! Go to grass field for the announcement of your exam!!!"

"Sir, I'm here to register"

By the time Dylan reached the front to register it's already past noon.

James also separated with him but up until the end he don't see his face.

"Name and Age?"

The Middle age soldier in charge with the registration has intimidating aura and scars all over his body that made him quite stiff.

'As expected of some veteran soldier'

"Dylan Chen, fifteen years old"

Very quickly, the registration is complete and he passed the form to Dylan, then he pointed the direction where the green field is.

"Let me tell you Kid, we need a large number of new soldiers this time and so the exam this time is easy"

***

When he arrive at the green field, he saw a large number of crowd but all of them are silently looking at the front where the podium is place.

In the podium there is only one man and one woman, both of them are wearing Army uniforms.

The man is in his prime maybe around thirty to thirty five years old with robust body, his most notable feature is his Stern fierce eyes, and scar on his face, but he gave off a friendly aura unlike some who has intimidating aura of a veteran soldier.

Based on the description that Dylan heard yesterday night at the Inn, the man is General Emjay Juada a reputable figure in the Military and the one who will conduct the exam this time.

While the General is seating silently the girl is saying something to him, it looks like she is her secretary.

Sergeant/Secretary Chloe, a well known genius, she is also a beauty; her age is around eighteen to nineteen, with brown hair, sexy body and eye glasses.

After some time has passed the number of applicant almost reaches a thousand and at exactly two o'clock the General stood up.

"Hi everyone!'

The moment he stood up, his friendly aura is gone and changes into a domineering one that quickly garners the attention to him.

" Maybe some of you already know who I am! but for those who doesn't, let me introduce myself

I'm Emjay Juada, a General of the Army and the leader of the well known Boundless Battalion, I'm also the one who will conduct this exam! That's all!"

General Juada as a person is a introvert and that is a common knowledge to the Army but despite that he is considered as one of the most successful young Generals of the army.

"Now, let me move on to the details of the exam"

The moment he said the word exam the atmosphere change in the field and their facial expressions became filled with tension, fear, excitement and of course fear.

"It's simple! At three o'clock we will do something inside the forest and during that time the outer perimeter of the forest will be swarming with low level monster!

You're task is to kill those low level monster"

For a short moment silence permeated the green field, it seems like they were all shock and afraid.

"General, Just how are we supposed to fight beast?"

A short young man finally asks the question that everyone wanted to say, they were just too afraid to do so, because whatever you say a monster is still a monster and to them, it is something they don't encounter every day.

"Good question!, the answer for that is of course with the help of magic weapons"

Contrary to everyone's expectation the General doesn't scold him but instead it seems like he gain a good expression on the short young man.

"Every each one of you will received a consumable magic weapon of your choice"

The Magic Weapons

The only kind of weapon that is effective to Monsters.

Even if you're a normal human, just by being equipped with a single magic item or weapon, you can gain certain strength to fight monsters, it is highly desirable for both mage and normal humans, and some said that a high rank magic item can even grant various skills.

That's why magic items are important and regarded as treasures by all.
