"The time has come. It is the time to begin our first round in the promotion exam." (Shiki)

"In the ability test we will first check the level of your ability. If you don't have a minimum of 2 levels of ability you will fail." (Shiki)

"Then next stage of the first round will be told shortly"

"So let's begin the first stage." (Shiki)

"Are you guys ready 3...2...1 Let's rock. All the best to you all." (Shiki)

(All people become excited about the examination. Because the examination is conducted every 3 months only)

Yeahhhhhhh! (people shouting)

Man, that was extreme! The speech he told gets people motivated, what do you think? (Amon)

That's true he was able to motivate people to give it there all. (John)

Let's go. We should not be late? (Excited Amon)

Sure, let's lit a fire here. (lit a fire is an Idiom) (John smiling)

Man, that smile looks so devilish. What are you thinking? (Amon laughing)

Nothing much I just came here to get promoted nothing much. (John says)

Ok, sure. (Amon trying to ignore)

(Amon and John both go in and wait for their turn)

So many people went in and now there are so many people are coming out, were all these people trying to take the exam even if their ability is not even level 2. (Amon feels bad for them)

Yeah, you are right on that one. (John)

(John turn is next)

I should use only use my second ability anymore and I would draw much attention to myself, (John thinks) let's see (Puts the hand on the ability level testing crystal)

(The crystal starts to crack and brakes into pieces)

Ohh man I did not control the energy I used nearly 20 per cent of my energy when it should have been 10 per cent max. (John catches his head Knowing he is screwed up)

(Everyone surprised and looking at the administrator)

What just happened? Let me check it for once. (Administrator checking the crystal)

Ahh ha! It happened because of the energy overload on the crystal. (what the heck is this, I am a Junior rank raider who is soon going to become a Veteran rank hunter, but I had never seen any basic rank raider who could break the crystal so easily, even I couldn't do that, is he some kind of monster or something) (Administrator thinks)

(All the people looking at John)

Hey hey, don't look at me like that I am not the one who did it. I didn't even put my hand properly, as soon as I touched it broke up (John trying to cover)

The one who came before you, who was he again? (I don't know do you) (No I didn't see the previous person who came because I was so excited for my turn) (People discussing)

Damn these people don't they notice anyone except for themselves (John feeling cornered)

Ohh it was him I saw him! (Someone)

He was the son of the Mayor of our city his name was "Shen Taiwu". He was considered one of the geniuses of the Sivery town. He awakened a fire ability when he was just 17 years old. He had so much time to practice his ability and there is no lack of resources because he is the son of the Mayor so definitely he could break that wouldn't he. (Tries to explain)

Yeah, Yeah (It is good that they are a bunch of fools otherwise it would have been trouble for me) (Trying to agree)

That's right it was me does anyone have a problem. (Shen agreeing)

I am a genius (The shit I am, I had to struggle so much to even light it up. Even if I had a level 3 fire ability I don't have sufficient energy to use them to the fullest. But this guy why he tying to not showcase his power. Anyway it is good news for me by this I will earn a good face) (Acting cool Shen).

(Anyway he is not an ordinary person I should try to make him my friend as soon as this examination ends) (Shen thinks)

(Huf that was too close for comfort. I was lucky that the person who took the exam was the Mayor son these politicians all try to make glory) (John trying to cool down).

(Damn those fools, look at that Mayor son do they believe that this kid was the one who broke the crystal, But who is this person so strong yet trying to not get any attention. Man, I don't understand him its time to continue with the exam.) (Administrator gets a hold of himself)

Ladies and gentlemen the examination will continue once we have replaced the crystal so please stay calm.

(The crystal is replaced)

Now, I should be more serious if I mess it again I will gain even more unnecessary attention. (John thinks)

(John controls his energy from 1 per cent and increases the output by one per cent at a time)

Damn decreasing my energy output is even harder than increasing (John sweating). 1 per cent 2 per cent 3..4..4..5..6...7..8...9...10 this much glow should be enough. (John stops at 10 per cent)

What is he? He is not a monster he is an overlord. Having that much energy is one thing but, even the veteran or even a higher rank raider may not be able to increase or decrease their energy as they want. But he is able to constantly increased his energy and was able to stop it at a particular point. He is not a human he definitely can't be a human. (Administrator shocked and nervous)

Hey, why are you spacing out did I pass or fail? announce the result. (John says to the administrator)

Oh yeah, you have passed the stage. (Admin says nervously)

Next up Amon (Admin calls)

Yeah, I am here. Did you pass John? (Amon asks)

Definitely, I would pass. Do you not trust me even a bit. (John acting cool)

(Amon Places his hand)

Not bad you have also passed the stage (Admin)

(After more than an hour all the ability tests of the first stage were completed)

"The first stage is complete and only 500 people were promoted to the next round. I feel sad for them but in this world, only the strong survive. It is the game of "Survival of the Fittest." Isn't it true people." (Shinki)

Yeahhhhhh (raiders agreeing)

"Now that we have completed the first stage of the ability testing round I will now tell you about the second stage" (Shinki)

"In this stage, we are going to test your skill to use your ability." (Shinki)

"In this stage, the medium-range spell casters would have to hit the designated marks and they could only pass if they fulfil the required amount of marks. Similarly, the front attackers would have to destroy their required target and the healer need to heal near dying fishes and the defence providers need to defend against particular attacks used by a Junior rank raider etc. Is everything clear? If yes give me a shout." (Shinki)

Yeaaahhhhh! (People shouting)

"Let the game begin." (Shinki shouts)
