Erasi quickly made it to the room pointed out and knocked. Shortly after a grating voice was heard.

" Stop pussy footing around and enter already!"

Startled for a moment Erasi could only complain that his tester sounded like nails on a chalkboard before opening the door and stepping in and shutting it. Looking around the room was quite plain but contrary to the wood on the outside everything inside seemed to be coated in a dark gray metal. He could only guess from all the minor dents and scratches covering the walls that this room was more of a sparring chamber than a place to test potential recruits.

The second thing he noticed was a wirery man with a bit of a guy in seemingly undersized dark green leather armor of obviously better quality than his own. The man was disgusting looking with shoulder length blonde hair that was was stringy and so greasy looking he probably had to avoid open flames. His face had pock marks riddling it and extremely blemished skin. To top it all off his face lacked even the semblance of symmetry and was narrow at the top but wide at the bottom. Looking at the thing in front of him he couldn't help but grimace internally, was this a man or some sort of weird mutant.

"So you're the unlucky idiot who came early haha! Well seems you use a spear, taught or no?"

Wervul's eardrum torturing voice brought Erasi out of his observations.

" Sir I was taught the spear for a few years now."

"Ahh well that means this might be a little entertaining, so who's the poor ass that sink so low as to have to train children to make a living hehe?"

Erasi while normally was cool headed was visibly perturbed by Wervul's words. He couldn't help wondering if this was some sort of test.

" My teacher is a retired mercenary named Kaldris."

When Erasi stated his teacher's name Wervul instantly became elated, it was written all over his face.

" Hehehe... Excellent truly, guess this could be serendi... Or however you say it. Haha did he tell you about his family? Well his ex family now I guess hehe! God what great fun!"

Paling in anger as he realised the meaning behind Wervul's words, Erasi just stood there rigidly incapable of responding. Though it seemed either the man in front of him didn't notice or didn't care as he continued.

" Truly his wife and daughter were delights, hehe I mean how many men get to taste both generations at the same time! At least me hehe! That's not even the best part boy, do you know what the best part was?"

"No!" That was all Erasi could bring out from between clenched teeth, his anger boiling inside as Wervul pulled on leather gloves with metal spikes jutting out from the knuckles.

" The best part is when Kaldris stumbled in and saw me with his family, he lost his shit hehehehe...*gasp* Sorry sorry it's just that he flew into a rage and attacked me but lost miserably. So when he came to after I'd bound him up and used a paralysis powder on him I forced his eyes open and made him watch as I drew out naughty moans of pleasure from his dear daughter and wife. Unfortunately he passed back out after a few minutes hehe I thought he'd died at the time! Anyways he never sought me out again after I took his family hehe never crossed his mind I had used Scarlet desire powder that was laced with mind magic hehe! Neither one even truly had control of themselves! They were great but as with all toys they lose their appeal so after a couple months I sold em to a shit hole brothel in another town hehehe."

As Wervul finished his explanation patting of his own back Erasi had become a little numb. He had never encountered such a truly despicable person and never thought that one such as Wervul would be so open and brag about his vile deeds. Letting out a calming breath Erasi grabbed his spear off his back and readied himself as Wervul drew closer Erasi only had one thought on his mind 'I'm going to kill this worthless bastard!'

Pausing a little out of spear range Wervul looked over Erasi who no longer looked enraged before speaking again.

"Boy you're too young I think to have a daughter but you wouldn't happen to have a mother or a girlfriend would you? I'm currently in need of some new toys hehehe!

Pretending to be enraged Erasi took two steps forward and thrust at the head of Wervul using half his abilities. The problem wasn't wether he could kill a level 28 hunter, as that wasn't hard with his freakishly high attributes. Normal people only gained maybe an increase in two of their attributes per level while hunters and mercenaries generally would gain attributes through training as well. The problem with Erasi was simply he gained attributes like crazy. Since he was five he'd been training his body in this crazy world and although he hadn't gained a single level he had gained attributes and thanks to his skill Attribute Ex the rate of which he'd gained agility, strength and all other attributes was astonishing.

—————

With a sneer Wervul easily slapped the head of spear back and to the side, and closed the distance quickly. The Hunter's test was merely a testing of ones skills in combat. So Wervul knowing who taught Erasi his spear skill wanted to beat him badly, even crippling him wouldn't result in any real backlash. His arrogant ugly face clearly expressing but suddenly warped into surprise and then paled. He barely even noticed anything was wrong until it was too late to even block or dodge.

—————

Erasi smiled viciously as Wervul parried his spear with too much force, he channeled the force instead of dispersing or resisting causing the spear to rotate behind him and down head first. Catching it with his other hand right below the head and allowing the butt of the spear to hit the ground. This motion made it almost like he'd been disarmed. What came next happened at twice the speed and strength of his original thrust resulting in nearly 6 inches of iron cleanly penetrating into Wervul's lower abdomen. Without giving the man time to process what has happened Erasi ripped his spear upwards to the chest of his opponent. A hot slimy feeling covered his hand as blood and bile escaped from the wound. Unable to speak anymore Wervul looked like a fish out of water with its mouth moving uselessly as Erasi yanked his spear out Wervul crumpled in a heap still living but only for a couple of breaths before the last vestige of life fled.
