"My Mana Status is 100, huh. Isn't this supposed to be 30 or something? If rex knows my mana capacity he will probably be shocked. Is this the reason I'm stronger than them. Rex probably has full 15 in all his stats. My Stats is to abnormal or should i say I'm too strong for a level zero awakener."(Argus)

"Why do I only have this Auxilliary skills? I did not even have a single offensive skill? Well I like fighting close combat anyway so this skills was perfect for me. As for my innate skills what does this three skills mean? Isn't the skill description question marks for a max level skill?"(Argus)

"This two skills are the reason I can easily concentrate when doing something like training and reading huh, as for intuition it was a bit vague but I have an idea. Forget it, let's study this skill if we have time."(Argus)

"Tomorrow I will go to the central city where the Arcana Hunter Academy can be found. That thick skinned will also probably go back since they are many dungeons there."(Argus)

Argus then change her clothes and goes to the Teleportation station. Every new awakeners student has a free access to any teleportation agency once. Argus destination is to the Stred country. This is second time you being teleported but he still feel a bit dizzy after being teleported.

[Welcome passengers, we have reach our destination: Stred City]

Coming out from the Teleportation Magic Circle, Argus was a bit surprised by the number of population in the station. He saw different kind of races he had never scene like the demihumans and occasionally elves. Hurrying to stay away from the station. He called a taxi and ask him to go to the Adventurer's Guild headquarters.

"Are you new here young man?"(Driver)

Argus nods.

"I'm not surprised. Highschool just ended this week so many youngsters of your age traveled here since they want to enter the most prestigious academy. Are you also one of those?"(Driver)

Argus shook his head.

"All I can say is goodluck young man."

The driver did not say anything after that since he felt that Argus is not a talkative person. Not long Argus reach his destination, paying the driver he goes out of the car. He look on the big infrastructure in front of him that is pack with many Awakeners.

The place where the Adventure's Guild is just near about the Main Entrance of the Stred Country. They say that the Guild I'd the Vanguard if something bad happened or something like that. The Stred Country was being surrounded by a very large area of Forest, Mountains and Valleys so it was very rich in resources. The Main Gate of the Stred Country is facing the North.

There is a big emblem with a shape of a huge pentagon shield that has a symbol of a sword and a book in the center. This is the headquarters of the Adventure's Guild.

Some Awakeners even have blood in there bodies, looks like they just finish a hunting mission. Observing for a while, Argus decided to enter the Adventure's Guild. He then lined up in a queue. Argus noticed that some people wears cloak and mask.

Argus also plans to register his name and also get another I.D for his another identity. He waited for half an hour until his turn. He was greeted by a beautiful Demi-human Rabbit receptionist.

"Hello young man, how can I help you?"(Receptionist)

"I want to register as an adventurer."(Argus)

"Please put your hand on this justice orb."(Receptionist)

Argus put his hand on the orb. The orb is called a justice orb and it will check if you are one of the wanted criminals. It will emit red light if your a criminal and it will emit white light if you're innocent. The orb shines light.

"Right what name you want to register in your Adventurer's card and drop your blood on it after."(Receptionist)

Argus followed her instructions. Of course he right his name.

"Do you want me to introduce you the important things to remember in our guild?"(Receptionist)

"No need. Thank you."(Argus)

"Then here's your Adventurer's Card.

Argus check the card to see if there's wrong. The card is color brown. The guild card color will change as you raised your rank. From G-SSS Rank: Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Black.

'Now it's time to hunt and level up.'(Argus)

He already ask the Receptionist the place where he can hunt the quest he has. According to her, chicken and slimes can be found just about 5 km north of the Main Gate while the horned rabbit is in a bit deeper than where the slimes and chicken are.

He removed his cloak and mask then dash outside.Argus then slows down since he reach his destination. He observed his surroundings.

'It looks like there's not much monster here in the periphery. It's near at the entrance so maybe they clean this part once in a while.'

After a little bit of walking he heard the sound of a chicken.

"Oh, I've level up... +10 Mana?! What's happening? Only those Special Race can increase their Mana with more than 5 every level up. Is this because of my physique or my class or even both?"

Argus think deeply about it however he did not their conclude. After a while he just accepted it because it's not bad to have more mana although with this current rank he cannot after a while he just accepted it because it's not bad to have more mana although with this current rank he cannot manipulate it.

Every awakener has different mana capacity after they awaken. Normal awakenner has 10 to 15 mana, elite awakeners has 16 to 20 mana, special awakeners or the so-called genius has 21 to 30 mana. Those monster geniuses will have 31 to 50 mana but no one reaches 100 like him.
