Chapter 17 Free Examination

Zero's Deathbringer Sword looks like a simple sword without any ornaments on it. But the materials that are used in the sword are all the strongest metals! It's a very rare metal that even God and the Demon King only has a few of them. While Zero, his [Pocket Dimension] are full of those legendary metals! He knows that it will only cause trouble if he tried to sell just a single piece of it.

Aviz and Reno are not surprised because they also come from the abyss.

Diablo said in astonishment "As expected of Master's sword. Even though it looks simple, the materials that are used are all high-quality."

Reno asked, "So, Master who forge your sword?"

Zero answered, "I forged it."

The three were shocked that Zero even know how to forge swords!

Zero turned on the TV to change the topic. Zero put the tv on the news channel. The news is all about President Dong-Hyun personally confronting the dragon that appeared in the city and the seven SSS-Rank Hunters killing a dragon and a fox. They didn't reveal that they received help from unknown people.

Zero said "Oh, so they did not reveal the fact that they received help from someone huh. Are they a bunch of fame whores? Or they just don't want to reveal to the public that they received help? Well, as long as they are not bothering me or you three, I'll let them be."

The three felt embarrassed when they heard Zero's words.

Zero denied what he said and said "Ohh, I forgot that all of you are all strong enough to take care of yourselves."

The three just nodded and smiled awkwardly.

Zero remembered something he said "Diablo still does not have his room. I'll order online. There is still one more vacant room, you can use that."

Then Zero ordered a bed that cost 70,000 won. He gave the money to Reno for the payment tomorrow. The bed will arrive tomorrow and Diablo decided to sleep on the couch tonight.

It's already morning, Zero woke up and take a bath. The three are still sleeping. After he took a bath, he headed to the nearby canteen in the Hunters Management to eat breakfast. After eating, he entered the building and start his work. While he is working, he overheard his co-workers

"Hey, today is the day they will test us if we can be a hunter right?"

The other one answered, "Yeah, yeah stop dreaming that you have a chance to become a hunter."

"I'm just asking why you gotta be like that man?"

Zero asked, "Hey, is it mandatory to take the test?"

"Uhh, yeah it's mandatory. Why are you asking? Don't you want to know if you can become a hunter? Don't worry it's free of charge."

"No, no I'm just asking. I'm quite new in here so I don't know, I'm sorry." Zero answered.

After thirty minutes, they heard an announcement that resounded through the building.

"All of the employees in the building should come to the Hunters Examination Building later at 1:00 PM. You will be examined if you have a chance to become a hunter. The examination is free of charge."

You need to ride a taxi to arrive at the Hunters Examination building from here.

It's now 1:00 PM. Zero is still thinking if he should make a reason to avoid the examination.

'Should I say I'm sick? I think they won't get suspicious that I'm avoiding to be examined right?' Zero muttered.

Then he decided to act like he is sick and ask his boss to take a leave.

Grucius said "Oh, Zero what's the matter? It's already time to go to the Hunters Examination building why are you still here?"

Zero while holding his head said "Ah, Boss. I think I can't attend because I feel very dizzy and my body temperature is quite high."

His boss handed him a thermometer to check Zero's temperature. Zero's temperature is 39 Degree Celsius. His boss said "You have a fever. I'll let you go home and rest because you are always hardworking."

Zero said "Thank you very much, boss. I'll do my best to recover so I can work tomorrow."

His boss nodded and Zero left.

"Am I mistaken? I used my [Analyze] ability to him again and it shows that he is just a normal human. Didn't he just make an excuse to avoid getting examined? I can't say for sure if he is a 'normal human.' Grucius muttered to himself.

After he left Zero sighed in relief. He just increased his temperature a bit to fool his boss. Then Zero heads back to his home.

It's 1:40 PM when he comes back home.

Reno asked "Master, why did you come back early today?".

Then Zero explained what happened.

Zero asked, "Do you guys have anything to do?"

The three shakes their head.

Zero said, "Ok, just wait here."

Then Zero created a portal. Zero takes the lead on entering the portal. They felt dizzy for a moment except for Zero.

After that, they are in a forest. It's the forest where Zero was brought by the portal that can bring him into any world that Greed had already entered. They sense weak monsters near them but for normal people, it's high-level monsters.

Diablo silently killed the monsters that were very near to them.

Zero asked, "Do you guys want to go rampage?"

Aviz, Reno, and Diablo shake their head.

Diablo said, "these weak monsters are not worthy to experience my rampaging, master."

Aviz and Reno did not speak.

Zero muttered 'I think they were afflicted by my 'I don't want to fight anymore, I just want to live a normal life '

It's noontime in this world because the sun is very high. Then Zero flew higher to see what surrounds the forest. At his right, there is a small village. He signaled the three to wait. Then Zero flew at his right side. He saw people outside and the first thing he noticed is the clothes! They are wearing old-fashioned clothes. 'If we go there with our clothes wearing right now, it can cause suspicion.' He muttered. Then he comes back to the forest.

Zero said "We need to change our clothes. Because the people in the village I saw are wearing old fashion clothes."

The three nodded and change their clothes. They can easily manipulate their suits. Zero changed his clothes too.

Zero said "I'm sure the currency here will be different, so we need money. I think we can earn money if we sell some monster's body though?"

Then Zero used [Wind Cutter] to cleanly cut the monsters. He killed at least 30 monsters in his attack. Most of them were werewolves and bears. Then he put the bodies inside his [Pocket Dimension].

Then they go to the nearby village to get information about the world they are in. They already made up a story that they came from another country and they got lost while traveling.
