chapter 3

After three months of rigorous training, Amori and his brothers were ready to take the Hunter exam. Their bodies had undergone significant transformations, with sculpted muscles and improved endurance levels thanks to countless hours of dedication and hard work.

According to my information, we are already one year into the beginning of the story to reach the exam site. I have to take a boat to go to the town of Ramp, connected to Zaban. Amori informed his brothers of their destination, and they headed together to the port where they would undergo their first test.

Arriving at the port, a simple boat that could seem to capsize at the slightest wave awaited them. Other candidates were already on the boat, looking for a place to settle. Amori and his brothers took their seats while watching the other candidates assessing their level. A shrill noise rang out from the boat to indicate the departure towards Ramp.

In the first few hours, the noise of the boat's planks trembling and creaking frightened more than one person. At sea, the quay was no longer visible, and many preferred to jump with a piece of plank rather than having to stay for 4 days on this ambulant danger. After 4 days, only 7 candidates, including the Amori brothers, had arrived at the port.

The next step was to find a way to reach the town of Zaban. All 7 candidates set out to search for clues to find a way to reach the exam site. Among the 7 was Tompa, a 35-year-old man who had failed the exam several times. Amori, who believed him capable, signaled to his brothers to follow him.

"Amori, do you think this old man could take us to the exam site?" asked Umori.

Imori, who thought the same as his brother but did not express himself often, acquiesced. Among the three brothers, he was the youngest, quite introverted, but he trusted his brother's plans.

"Yes, he is the oldest, certainly the most experienced. Imori, you will tail him, we will follow you. We'll see where we land," replied Amori.

Imori tailed Tompa while Umori and Amori followed from a distance. He indicated his destination by phone. Three days passed, and they arrived at Zaban, the exam site. As Tompa thanked his guide and announced his departure, the guide turned in the direction of the Amori brothers and wished them good luck for their exam before continuing on his way.

Umori and Imori were surprised that the tailing had failed, while Amori, surprised but understanding, realized that it was normal. People hired by the Hunter Association couldn't be weak or incompetent.
