In 2025 a crack in the air suddenly appeared in a small Asian country. The crack was considered a miracle until finally the crack enlarged and became a blue gate. Not only 1, this gate appears continuously at regular intervals and in every region of the country. They call it the "Dimensional Anomaly" phenomenon. Many researchers studied this phenomenon. At that time humans were trying to find out what was inside the gate. Until 1 year later the protective layer inside the gate was eroded and the gate turned red. That caused something to come out from inside the gate. Many thought it was a new type of animal, until finally someone recognized its shape as a monster.
Not only 1 gate started to release monsters, periodically one by one the gates began to release different monsters. The monsters went on a rampage destroying everything they saw. Not only that, they kill and eat humans. Modern machine guns and war vehicles only inflicted minor injuries to the monsters. Leaving the country in chaos, like prey being chased by a predator. Causing the government to conduct a massive evacuation and isolate the country. People called the event "Catastrophe".
1 month after the event, gates appeared in various countries. Fear swept the world, until in Japan, Kyoto to be precise, the first Knight appeared. He killed all the monsters in Kyoto. The day after that Knight began to appear in various countries. All governments then build organizations to coordinate the knights. A meeting between all country leaders took place and all country leaders agreed to build a world knight organization whose members came from various knights from different countries. And led by the first knight, named "The Protectors" whose task is to protect the earth from monster invasions 35 years passed after the Catastrophe event.
*********************************
3 days have passed.
It's been 3 days since I've been in this world. And I'm currently studying to successfully pass the academy entrance exam. There are two entrance exams, one is theoretical and the other is practical.
"Hah! This course is more complicated than I thought. I should at least be able to reach the required score to pass the theory exam."
Sitting in a chair and reading the books piled up on the study table, I turned every page I had read.
"Looking at my memorization skills, it looks like I can memorize some important parts. And I can confidently pass the theory exam. The problem here is the practical exam."
Leaning back in the chair and staring at the ceiling of the room, I contemplated the practical exam.
'If I summarize what the god gave information about the novel. The main character will face the first rank of the theory test who is one of the Heroine and manage to win. And I will face an unknown character and manage to win. The main character will be in class B, even though he managed to win against the 1st rank of the theory test the main character sucked at the theory test. And I'm also in class B because of the standard scores in both the theory test and the practical test.
"Huh!!!"
Letting out a long breath, I heard a knocking sound from the direction of the room door.
"Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!"
"Young master, I have gotten what you asked for earlier."
The butler's voice came from behind my door.
"Just come in, the door is unlocked."
"Click!"
Turning around I saw the butler enter with a long brown suitcase he was carrying.
"This is the item you requested!"
"Just put it on the bed."
Putting down the brown suitcase, the butler asked.
"Is there anything else you need?"
"No, and thank you for getting it."
"You're welcome. Then I'll take your leave."
Turning back the butler exited the room.
"Alright. Now let's ask what I should do now."
Rising from the chair I picked up the cell phone on the table and opened the suitcase. There was a rusty sword inside the suitcase.
"Is this the sword he mentioned earlier? This sword looks like it will shatter when swung."
I then opened my cell phone and sent a message.
"I've got it."

"Good. Now all you need to do is make this sword yours."
You
"Are you sure this is a sword that can increase my power? It looks very fragile."
3 days earlier, the god said there would be a weapon that would be auctioned off the day after tomorrow. An S-ranked sword would be auctioned off, but it would be rated as B-ranked because there was no great magic power. A clichéd story where a sword that is considered ordinary turns out to be a legendary sword. Although I knew of such clichés, seeing the sword in person made me doubt myself as well.

"Of course. If you want to know the details of that sword. It's the sword that will be used by the villain in volume 9. And the villain managed to overwhelm the main character with it."
"Huh! Now that makes me not want to use the weapon used by the villain."
"Isn't that dangerous? A sword used by a criminal."
Blitz_Red
"That sword doesn't belong to the villain, the villain just found it. That sword originally belonged to the country of China.
It was used by a legendary Chinese Knight named Zhen Yong and the sword he used was the Long Feng Jian. A sword dubbed as the storm dragon sword. But that man died while facing criminals who wanted to rule China. That man died with honor."
"Wow! That's great. But won't that invite the country's wrath because I'm using their heirloom weapon?"
I thought about that, it would be more dangerous if I became the enemy of a country than the enemy of a villain.
Blitz_Red
"For now there won't be a problem. After all, the sword disappeared when Zhen Yong died. And it wasn't found until a criminal got his hands on it. The Chinese government won't do anything reckless to take Long Feng Jian's sword without knowing the background of someone getting it. For now, it's better for you to make the sword yours with the soul unification ritual. So that you can get along with the main character in the future and be able to deal with everything that is different from the plot of the novel."
"Okay. But will performing the soul unification ritual hurt?"
Blitz_Red
"If you perform the soul unification ritual with rank E to A weapons, you won't feel anything. Whereas soul unification with S weapons will feel like ant bites."
"I see."
After exchanging messages, I finally prepared to perform the soul unification ritual.
