The Sub-Division allocation has finished, Mrs. Farroh already puts back the Status Orb inside her storage magic. She then suddenly claps her hand together.

"For now, go sit together with your respective group."

"You can get to know each other first, I'll give you an hour to do that."

"After that, I will announce your main activity as a Sub-Division."

"Oh yeah, while you at it, you guys can think about your group name."

Doing the instruction. The students start to pull their tables together and sits according to their group. And for Ryu, his group was gathering on Ayano's desk.

"Oh, didn't expect to be on one team with Mr. Pervert."

"Mr. Pervert?"

Hearing Mizuha's weird greeting, Ayano tilted her head.

"I'm referring to the brown-haired boy, Ryu."

"You know what? Just another day... I found-"

When she wants to continue what she initially wants to say, Ryu swiftly moved to her back and pressed his hands against her mouth.

"There's nothing wrong with me, right? Ms. Mizuha?"

"Mmhh."

Apparently, not getting the answer he wants, Ryu continues to smother her while giving a menacing smile.

"Right..., Ms. Mizuha?"

"Mnn."

Seeing Mizuha nods her head rapidly. Finally, Ryu lets his grip go. After the locks had been opened, Mizuha immediately gasping for breath.

"I thought I'm gonna die."

"You bought it for yourself."

"But, I simply want to talk about a fact."

"It's an incident!"

Observing the behavior of those two, Ayano instinctively asked;

"You guys seem to be close already, perhaps, dating?"

"D-Dating!?"

Mizuha started to shutter because of the unexpected statement, doesn't want his future spouse to get an unnecessary misunderstanding. Ryu instantly responds to the inquiries.

"We're merely a friend, nothing more."

"Y-yeah, don't misunderstand Ayano, we just live under one roof."

"Mizuha... Please don't talk anymore... You'll create more confusion."

Watching those two bickerings like that, Ayano let out a light chuckle.

"You guys are interesting."

"But, we seem to be forgetting about someone."

The second Ayano said this, three-pairs of eyes united into one point. At the end of their sight, there's a boy with a green brushed back hair with turquoise almond eyes. He silently sits straight across them.

"Ah, Verdi... Right?"

The one who initiates the talks was Mizuha. In response to this, the boy nodded his head nervously.

"Y-yeah, nice to meet you."

Looking into the stiffness, Mizuha suddenly slaps Verdi's back, with quite a force at that.

"Aww, c'mon, why you're so uptight like that. You can relax more, aren't we friends?"

"Umm, okay..."

The hits seem to be working a bit, Verdi's shoulder at least isn't as tense as before. Observing this, Ryu shakes his head in amazement toward Mizuha's talents.

"You really can make any friends at any second."

"Perhaps you were jealous by my talent, Mr. Pervert?"

Teasing him up a bit, Mizuha pokes her finger against Ryu's cheek. Seemingly annoyed by this, Ryu brushes the pokes with its hands.

"You should've added the word 'stranger' into your dictionary."

"So, I am just a stranger..."

"To me, yes, you are."

Verdi looks dispirited after hearing Ryu's bold words. In the first place, he seems to be anxious about something. Maybe, the idea of him being with the same team as the princess and the best student of the Division makes him think that he's unworthy for the team, and it begins to crush his self-esteem.

"Don't be that disheartened. For now, we're still a stranger, but we'll be together for 4 years from now on. Let the time do the works, and we'll be friends in no time."

"Yeah, Ryu has a point."

"Hmm, you're surprisingly good with your word, Mr. Pervert."

Listening to his teammate's continuous encouragement, Verdi appears to brighten up a bit as a smile began to form in his face.

"Thank you guys, I'll do my best to not be a burden for the team!"

Clasping her hands together, Ayano decided to make the matter's done.

"Now, because all of us have joined the conversation. Let's discuss the main topic. What will our team name be?"

Seems to be waiting for this exact moment, Ryu instantly raises his hand to give his suggestions regarding this matter.

"How about the God Killers? It sounds good, right?"

"It's too overbearing..."

"I'm sorry Ryu, I agree with what Mizuha had said."

When the idea being rejected instantly, Ryu immediately hung his head down. He had thought a lot about that name, he seriously loves it a lot. Before long, Mizuha also states her thought about the team name while raising her pointer finger out.

"How about this, since we have Ayano in our team. Does a Princess Glory seems to be a fit?"

"I doubt Ayano's fine with that."

"Yeah, that's a bit..."

"Do you have any idea, Ayano?"

Being asked for her opinion, Ayano thinks for a moment before proposing the team name.

"The First Team? You know, since we're the first to be announced."

"Ayano, that's too simple..."

"Yeah, we should think another name."

"I see..."

Ryu has forgotten that Ayano has a terrible naming sense. After all of the proposed idea is being rejected, things are being stagnant for a while. Suddenly, the one who didn't submit any opinion yet, Verdi, opened up his mouth.

"How about Dragonewt sounds?"

"Hmm!? That's a kind of good name. It's about as great as the one I proposed earlier!"

"Yeah, it's not overbearing yet not so simple either."

"It can also symbolize lesser beings that hold the power of the dragon."

Understanding the meaning of the names, Ayano and the other two seem to be content with Verdi's ideas.

"So, is it fix?" Placing both of his hands on the table, Ryu looks into his left and right. Seeing the girls nodding in agreement, Ryu then also followed the motion.

"Okay, it's a unanimous decision! From here and now on, our Division shall be called Dragonewt!"

Following that event, the group continued to chats for a brief moment before the time that Mrs. Farroh had allocated for them is over.

"Did you guys already comes with the team name?"

Seeing all the students respond to the question with a positive vibe, Mrs. Farroh finally states the main objectives of the Sub-Division creation.

"From here, you guys will be trained by the Hunter Association Instructor regularly."

"Your main goal is to be a full-fledged Hunters with your teammates."

"There will be 6 instructors, you'll hold a practice duel against them every day. When you succeed in gaining their approval, you can try to enter the Dungeon with your respective Sub-Division."

"Is there any question?"

After that, although the students can somehow guess the direction of where it is going, there's still a lot of them that didn't understand the details of it. The students start to ask some questions to Mrs. Farroh.

"Is there any deadline for it, miss?"

"The maximum duration is one year if you fail, then you'll be dropped into a B-Division."

Hearing this statement, the student's automatically gulping their throat down. Being in A-Division is a great honor, and at the same time, there's also a lot of pressure on it.

"Mrs. Farroh, what's the level of the instructor?"

"They have a skill that can limit their level according to the team overall strength."

"What will we do if we succeed, miss?"

"You can go to the Dungeon with your teams, and there's also a special curriculum that involves going to the Dungeon."

"Is the instructor handsome, miss?"

Mrs. Farroh tilts her head while she hears this question.

"They're an old man, does that even matter?"

When Mrs. Farroh answers to the last question, a lot of girls in the room can be seen dejected by it. For girls, it can encourage them more if the instructor is handsome. Although it can be considered discrimination, it can't be denied that some of the girls only feel motivated if a handsome man was involved in it.

"Well, since I answered all of your questions. We should go to the training ground. Your instructors have been waiting for you in there."

Following that, the students being guided by Mrs. Farroh, go to the training ground. It's an advanced area that is constructed solely for the students from the A-Division.

The moment they've arrived. Ryu has seen a familiar face among the instructor. Sensing the gaze, the instructor, Rogue, approach him. Meanwhile, when Mrs. Farroh notices this, she thought that Rogue approach them on behalf of the instructors. After all, Rogue is the Strongest instructor available at the Forest City Hunter Association.

"Students, let me introduce you to Mr. Rogue. A level 21 tier 2 swordsman."

"Eh?" Rogue seems to get bewildered, he comes with an intention to greet an acquaintance. Why did the teacher suddenly introducing him like this? Well, since it's already been done, he must give a response to it. Otherwise, it can be considered rude behavior.

"Nice to meet you guys, I'm Rogue."

When he responds like that, some student's eyes are glimmering with admiration.

"It's the real Mr. Rogue."

"Yeah, the 8th strongest person in Forest City after Mr. Jinchi."

"We'll be blessed if we can be instructed by such person!"

Hearing the student's reaction toward him makes Rogue grin a little. After some time, the other instructors also start to join them and give a brief introduction.

When they're done with it, Mrs. Farroh finally designates each Sub-Division under the wings of one of the instructors.

"Well, the first one is the Dragonewt team, you'll be under Mr. Rogue guidance."

"Who's the member of the Dragonewt team?"

When Rogue asks this, all of the Dragonewt members raise their hands.

"Oh, the princess. It's my honor to guide you."

Rogue's bowing slightly, giving the proper etiquette for the member of royal families. In response to this, Ayano waves her hand hurriedly.

"Please, raise your head, Mr. Rogue, it's actually the opposite. I will be in your care from now on."

"You can count on me, princess."

After that exchange, Rogue's decided to scan another team member.

"Ryu? You were also on this team?"

Surprised, Rogue's eyes perked up a bit.

"Yeah, how are you doing, Mr. Rogue?"

"Thanks, I am doing great!"

Rogue taps his firm chest with its fist while saying this. He then begins to scratch his head and laughing quite loudly.

"Man, what an extraordinary team I am going to tutor."

Confusions were being showered into Mrs. Farroh, and the rest of the students face when they see this interaction between Rogue and Ryu.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rogue, did you already know Ryu beforehand?"

"Yeah, I'm the one who handles the examinations for him when he requested for the Hunter Card after all."

"Pardon? What does Ryu do?"

"Huh? He didn't tell you already?"

Mrs. Farroh still doesn't understand what Ryu's doing to gain attention from such a big shot. Eventually, Rogue utters another word.

"He's already one of us from a month ago, Mrs. Farroh."

"Eh? Doesn't that mean..."

"Yes, he's already a full-fledged Hunters."

"EHHHH!!??" Mrs. Farroh unconsciously raises her voice.

'Ryu's already got his Hunter Card, and it's also from a month ago?'

'Doesn't that mean he's still a level 4 Novice at that time?'

'How the heck can he be qualified to become a Hunter at that level?'

Mrs. Farroh mind keeps being filled with a question regarding Ryu.

"But, Mr. Rogue, doesn't one need to be tier 1 to be a Hunter?"

"He got the card by doing what we about to do, the approval of the association instructor."

"And who's the person that conducts the examinations?"

"As I told you before, It's me..."

"So, you passed him?"

"How can I not passed him when he's able to defeat me?"

Again... Hearing the statement that Rogue said embarrassingly, Mrs. Farroh can't help but feels astonished every time she knows Ryu's feats. She should get used to it, maybe it can enable her to react normally later. After all, it's only a small feat compared to what Ryu about to reach in the future.

"Oh, but since I'm your training instructor today. I will get my revenge from before, Ryu."

"It's merely a stroke of luck that I can win against you, Mr. Rogue."

"Luck my ass, there's no such factor in a battle. Let's do it once more. I'm gonna limit myself into a level 5 veteran this time!"

Ryu's tempted hearing this offer, it's a rare opportunity to train and test his skill. Thinking for a while, he finally nods his heads.

"Well, maybe we can. But, after you teach my teammates first."

"Okay! I'm gonna hold on that promise. Now, for the students, let's commences the training with your corresponding instructor!"
