Challenge (1)

Looking at the beginning of the Hotel and the end of it, no matter how many times he looks, Adam is still left speechless by the sight of it. A magnificent building which seems to be 30 to forty level high and wide range of facility can be seen, as expected of City which has been powered by the Federation group of trainers. After coming out of his stupor Adam regained sense as he looked around and walked inside, by the looks of it he was able to see many people coming and going inside but every one of them seemed very rich, well not by dress code but on the other hand, it was by Monster following each of them.

Adam was left speechless by the sight of them having such monsters following them as a bodyguard, but Adam was able to tell that, each of these monsters did not actually belong to them but they were hired by them. Adam smiled and looked back at the area where he was told that it was a hotel with affordable prices in this city. By the look of it, most of the common netizen from his town would be able to afford all the roads with the cost of the hotel was beyond them.

But I had earned quite a few points from the trainer association and by the report which was given by the leader to others, he was given 3rd highest pay in this journey to this city, where this... Adam looked at the stone on his hand seemed to be quite unique since the elemental fluctuation around the stone was quite high, Adam was happy but the problem was there was no information about who had given him this, the counter girl said it was an extra reward and he believed federation would not be lying to him or plotting.

Still, the money or FP, which is federation points will be enough for him to live in this hotel with an affordable room and peacefully for a few days. His next target adventure was something he had heard about some rare monster appearing around at this city's unique attraction, which was Solend forest. This forest is well known in the country because of its reputation saying that the forest held some tameable rare Monster, one can obtain by working hard, but like a Treasure trove is also has many dangers inside them too.

This city was once used to be a soldier post which used to guard the Soland forest and the time when it was about to fall apart by the Beast wave, the Federation lend a helping hand while protecting the whole city from that disaster. That was the reason why this so much goodwill when the Federation wanted to declare this city would fall under their safety and protection, from then on, this city kept on the growing city and today it looked like this and not to say all the people who were originals of this city before that fall, are all now rich and influential given occupying higher level of this city.

The next adventure is something Adam is hoping to have at next day and that is why he was confident enough to have guts and go live in this place. As Adam entered the hotel and look toward the staff, he was a little shocked given the trainer named Dexter was also standing there looking at him, the guy smiled and walked toward him and spoke first "Yo! I am very surprised that you are able to come to this city this quickly if I remember correctly, you had joined some kind of expedition to the city right, so how was your journey, man I must say I am jealous of you."

The guy seems to be as outgoing as he was before he started asking in a serious tone "Are you also here to join the Youth Challenge Tournament, which is hosted by this city's top Federation people. Then the next time we meet Battleground we will be opponents just so you know and I am not going to go easy on you just because we are some friends from before." he said with a smile, which was filled with fighting spirit, on that Adam got few good information and he postponed the plan on going for a journey, since after so long he would be able to participate the challenge tournament.

"Hell yeah, but I must correct you because I will be the one who will be not going easy on you," Adam spoke, as he looked at Dexter and walked away silently while Dexter was able to feel, the intense will and confidence coming out of the Adam where he remembers a certain guy who said the same word to him and with the same intensity.

Inside the hotel, Adam called out Charles and Scarlet as he looked at them excitedly, and seemingly, both of them were sharing the same emotions as Adam. Since it was going to be their first time participating in such a competition, and this kind of experience is something they always look forward to. Challenging their own limit, while checking out how far they have grown in the last many days, which have passed since they have met.

At this moment they all felt, just like the moment they all are about to be facing an exam, where Adam checks his wrist brand and checked out the information they had on the competition.

Adam found the registration and entered inside it, where the information about his monster entered the competition committee at which Adam end up smiling since this was also one of the few ways, he used to do to collect information in his previous world.

After which he thought about how he was able to collect Gmail and other contact information on the basis of little competition and little prize money, on the other hand, the prizes of the competition were really great.

Adam found 5 Tier 2 Ms. Ball, which was a good enticement for all trainers, and every who won the first round would get them. Honey was plated in front of the bee, then the top 10 would get an elemental stone, with which the base of the cake over honey was done.

Then next Top three would get Advancement Material for one of their best Monster, with which all the topping was done, and finally with the Top 1 winner would get a High Graded Monster egg the cake was served.

Even Adam was astonished to see the number of prizes and which was the reason why Adam was attracted toward it, to say some normal Monster Trainer who would flock toward this competition like a bee.

Adam was excited but more than that, he wanted to find a way to get Charles and Scarlet a boost with a short amount of period. There are not many boosts and Adam knew about none of them, at the thought of its Adam was feeling a little helpless since in this world he was born into a simple family, there were not many ways he would have a chance to become stronger and he was opting the profession of Detective to support this new profession he had taken a liking into and now again he felt this helplessness.

When he suddenly felt his hand symbol shining brighter while he found himself standing up again, but this time he was standing in front of a huge door, brighter symbols were highlighting the door and there were many of them. But most of them seem to be a mixture of the few natural ones. After some time, Adam was back in the room and saw Charles and Scarlet in front of him, back at the room when he saw a flash of symbol and they turned brighter in front of Charles and Scarlet.

Adam's clever and open mind analyzes them as he replicates the same symbol with his soul, while he looked at Charles and spoke in a worried tone "I don't know what this is but I felt it is something good. Also, I cannot guarantee anything, but it feels like this thing will make you both stronger, and that is why I want to ask are you going, do you want to take this risk and grow stronger or not."

Both Trainer and Monster are partners, and they have the right to decline what they don't want to take risks on, but Adam was not able to analyze how much those two little ones trusted him at every decision. Without, thinking about shit, they agreed without giving a second thought. Adam was surprised as he looked at the duo and smile. He did not, any more of the time and simultaneously used the soul to form the unique symbol and the symbol which Resonated with Charles revealed a huge amount of Fire elemental collecting on both Charles and Adam, Adam felt the fire blazing his skin almost causing him to scream out in pain.

Charles on the other hand felt waves of energy in the surroundings increase and started to form a unique core in the form of a pattern on his body, as they simultaneously vanished but the energy on his body increased tremendously, after which another symbol started to form on him but this time, he felt his body getting squeezed by it and every cell shrinking and tightened itself around him.

Scarlet felt the same about both detail but Adam was not feeling well at all, as he almost stumble and sat while gasping for air. His body was simultaneously refined by flame itself and it was not a good feeling at all. By the end of it, Adam was finally found his consciousness sinking into a deep slumber. This might have been the first night Adam was asleep where Charles and Scarlet were scared out of their wits, but when saw him sleeping so deeply, they could not help but smile.

Charles sat by Adam's side and pushed him on the bed, while Scarlet cuddled by Adam's side feeling the pain, he is suffering was for them.

Adam woke up as he looked around and found scarlet and Charles by his side sleeping peacefully, where he felt the air being warm and cozy and realized this was the feeling of sleeping once again but this time he really enjoyed it and was not like some kind of blank out. This time he visited back to his old world in his dream and he totally wished to sleep back again but his conscious mind was totally against it.

"Yes! It was training time and he had to go and train back again."

Scarlet and Charles were wide awake by his movement which surprised him, where both of them had developed and sharper senses which may be due to those symbols.

After returning back from the training and taking a bath to refresh himself up, Adam walked out of the room, straightening his head buttoning his shirt, and zipping his chain up. Adam, I was very excited and forward to the battle he is about to experience in the tournament he is about to join. Not only it will be the first better he is about to enter, and also will be a chance to tell the upper Echelon of society to know that he is on the Battleground.

running towards the venue of the competition, he saw many people collecting around in that area as the excitement within them can be felt, without looking at them at all. This tournament in which he is about to participate, and will be the place where he will be able to show everyone what he got along with his partners.

Adam saw many trainers along with their partner and best for Adam it was a 2 on 2 type competition since the committee behind this competition was not allowed to help the competition at a wider range and due to which they had to hold a 2 on 2 competition, but it still attracted a lot of attention from the surrounding small cities and the number of participants had already crossed the line of 200 trainer's at this period of time, where Adam connected a good piece of news, which boosted his excitement and he was looking forward to the battle with those genii and ranking monster…
