Rookie Selection

Looks like I've found a clue to the conspiracy that's rather related to the heir of the Aldea family. Even if they weren't able to reach her location, I've found it rather interesting that a ton of people are after her life. But most of the things within the report given to me by Harris were related to none other than the parent himself. Lucas Aldea is also known for his alias the Collector, who's known to be one of the most successful awakeners/ treasure hunters. The man that's standing between the fall of the Aldea family the person that's been missing since I've arrived at this manor

2 weeks later

A long time has passed within the Aldea estate and today was such a grand and eventful day. Due to it being the day when the heir of the Aldea family has finally made its first steps into becoming an awakener. To show their appreciation they gathered around the main gate and greeted their master for all of the things that she have done. Alongside her guardian that acts as her butler, the two of them made their way to the servants that lined up in front of their path

"Young master will be waiting for your arrival,"

"Please take this food we've packed for you,"

"Young master we're cheering for you, remember your training, and don't freeze while your test is present,"

"Good luck out their young master,"

Praises and cheers from her servant made her anxiety disappear from her body, even one of the coldest servants was cheering for her success. Yet it couldn't compare to a single move that Shuu displayed in front of the servants, he grab her by the waist and push her to his side. Just when their lips were about to connect she woke up from her realistic dream when she heard the voice of her guardian calling for her name

"Milady wake up!!!" He shouted at her ears causing her immediate awakening from her slumber. The two of them were inside their vehicle that was on their way to the awakened testing facility

"Are we there yet?" She replied once she finds herself sleeping on his lap, whilst he was busy checking their schedule along with examining the rules for her upcoming examination

"Just a few miles away from our destination, I've just woke you up so you wouldn't dare embarrassed yourself when a ton of camera flashes through your face. Look at yourself, your hair is such a mess, and you're a little sleepy even though I've reminded you to sleep at the earliest time possible. Sigh, Harris can you grab some coffee for milady once you've parked the car, in the meantime, I'll handle her hair so you can focus on your given task," He quickly rearranged her hair before she tied it with a scrunchie, even with all of his applied teachings to discipline his pupil. She hasn't fully understood her importance, figure, and status as the heir to one of the most prestigious family

Even though she's known for her cruel and downright horrible personality, she's just a child that's going through adolescence. He wasn't able to feel any kind of misdeeds or personality that made her be affiliated with the few people that were seen as an outcast. Being hunted down made her unable to trust anyone else but her guards, having no such connections apart from her father resulted in her display of hostility. At the end of the day, she was just a mere child that wasn't fortunate to have gained a few individuals that she could call her friends. The fact that her father was busy with his duty made her even more isolated from the world and its people

"Thank you for everything," She whispered to herself after she didn't find the courage to openly say it to her servant. Yet he notices her voice and didn't mention hearing her gratitude once he anticipated that she'll be embarrassed. He took a long time in making her condition as normal as he can get, due to it being a day when her worth will be put to the test. When they finally set foot at the entrance of the registration facility. The very place where her talent will be shown throughout the world

[I don't know what's going to occur in this event, you thought her one of your most powerful techniques. Even going so far as to help tamper with her body, are you sure that she won't receive any kind of backlash against the body forging technique? It looks a little confusing when I've read the technique, I never come to question your knowledge, it's just that you're not the type of person that's concerned with your health. As long as you can achieve a higher level of power]

'Relax, there's nothing to worry about such a small matter, it's been a week since we've tampered with her mana circuitry. It's the same one that I currently have so I assure you that it's safe, I've even warned her to not overuse her energy. Since it might cause a powerful discharge to occur, even with my modifications such a thing can't be avoided. So I've told her everything that she needs to learn so let's just sit back and enjoy the show that'll bait out the culprit of the incident,'

[I've forgotten about that, it's the information that we didn't acquire from those slaves that are slaving away to their deaths. They said they were only given the task to capture and send the heir to a certain location. We can't jump to any kind of conclusions about who might be interested in capturing lady Luna. Broadcasting her talent to the people will surely do the trick, as expected of you my liege. You're every move is nothing but a sequence that's full of surprises]

Arriving at the entrance of the registration facility, which was crowded with countless aspiring awakeners that were striving to become a player. The recent disaster brought upon a demonic worshiper at one of their largest registration facility. Their space wasn't enough to manage every awakened that has applied for a solo registration test. Because of that, they held such an event to gather every talent to create one special occasion. Instead of it being a normal solo awakeners test it comprises dozens of players that'll be graded for their talents

Even a few faces that weren't ever seen in public came to support the event that was managed by the awakened department. Countless known players in different ranks came to cheer the beginners, but most of their attention was pointed to the chairman. Also known as the Azure spearman, he was one of the first awakeners that unlocked their hidden potential which dates back to a decade. Even though he retired from being an awakener, no one would dare talk behind his back

[System: An incoming message sent by none other than the Awakener department, allow me to introduce you to the speaker in person. Victor Hargreaves, known as one of the few people from the first generation as a powerhouse that carries a powerful spear within his possession]

[Hello everyone, I am Victor Hargreaves, as all of you know a player is someone that will challenge the rifts being created throughout the world. Apart from that, there are a few exceptions like guarding the forbidden lands that expanded without any explanation. Whether you fall into these categories, the department shall aid you on your journey through the path of a player. Before that, all of you must pass the examination, if not then you're not even fit to be a player, due to it being one of the most arduous paths. I'll only say it once, we don't accept anyone that hasn't resolved themselves or have the talent to do so, that's all for me, I wish you all the very best of luck]

"Isn't he a little too strict?" Luna grabbed her equipment after they fully check the rules if one of their items is found to be prohibited

"Milady im not that knowledgeable when it comes to the new regulations for the players, but I know for a fact that the chairman isn't wrong," Harris locked their vehicle after they parked in front of the stadium where they were going to hold the examination

"How so? I've thought that everyone can easily get a job in this area of expertise," The three of them walked while Luna continues their chat. Even Shuu joined their topic and gave his opinion on the chairman's message

"I think it has to do with the unlawful awakeners, I've heard that a few of them are using their abilities for their selfish gain. What were their other names again, ah they were called worshipers, cultists, and assassins. Due to the recent rise of murder that was related to the effect of skills, the department is imposing a strict examination," On their way to the counter the two of them met a familiar face that was organizing their side of the room. A blue-haired beauty that was being watched by many admirers would walk to their spot and wave her hands, even going so far as to smile which angered her admirers

"Mr. Shuu what are you doing here? I thought I gave you your player I.D, don't tell me you finally change your mind and join my guild!!?" Her cheerful expression slowly dropped when she notices the girl behind her back, that was wearing the appointed armor for the test examinee

"Shuu's not going to join your little guild, he's just here to cheer for me due to him being my guardian. Apart from that, it's because im his student and before I become his pupil im his lady. So why don't you back away Ms. Hargreaves," A powerful tension between the two of them would fill their surroundings, even though the examination hasn't started? These two are already pointing their pressurizing aura to the public, to the other examinees, that they'll cause a fight between the two of them. Once they stepped into the arena
