"John continues to use wind ability as a source to deplete and increase energy."

(After 3 days)

Man, I continually used the wind ability for more than 3 days but I am not much tiered. I see my energy levels have increased more than 10 times from when I started this training. (John thinks)

(John freshes up and gets out from his room)

Hey sis I am going for a stroll. (wears his shoes and goes)

Okay. (Selena)

Man, I have not come out for a stroll for a long time. (John thinks)

My phone was switched off for some time let me check it. Ah! crap there are nearly 40 missed calls from this guy, let me call him. My sim was not working properly I didn't see any missed calls when I was booking the portal. He would be annoyed. (John)

(Ring, RIng)

Hey Amon it's me John long time no see man. (John innocently)

Long time no see my a**, you bloody Bastard I had been calling you for nearly a month or so. I heard you were alive and returned safely from the portal but you were ignoring me for so long. (Angrily Amon)

Hey, Amon please listen to me. I didn't see any missed calls my sim had some issues so calm down man. (John trying to relax Amon)

(After some time of yelling)

Hey John, you are fine right. Let us meet somewhere. (Amon)

Yeah I am fine but I cannot meet you right now (John)

Why? Is there some kind of issue? (Amon)

No no there is no issue but the reason is I am going to take up the day after tomorrows promotion exam to promote my rank to Junior raider. (John)

Are you sure you are taking the exam because I am also gonna participate in the promotion exam. (Amon excited)

Yeah, so we can meet at the examination centre. You can ask whatever you want to ask there but I don't guarantee I can say you everything.

Great but are you sure you want to participate in the promotion exam because you are a wind ability user and the wind ability users have it tuff to rank up their ability level. (Amon out of consideration)

Don't worry about me I will be fine. (John)

Ok then see you at the promotion exam site. (Amon)

(Cuts the call)

Man, that was tuff. I never thought he was that considerate towards me. (Feels happy John)

Anyway, when I participate in the exam I need to completely hide my demon aura and the wind armour or the people will think I am a freak of some sort. Basic rank raiders and Junior rank raiders may not be able to see my demon aura but they can definitely feel the chill from it. Now let's just return to hame and stay low for a while. (John thinks)

(After 1 day)

Just one day is remaining for the promotion exam I should probably shut down my wind armour and replenish my energy. (John replenishes his energy)

(The day of the promotion)

Ahh! (Yawning) So it's finally time ay, let's have some bf and head out. (John)

(John heads out after having bf and wearing a set of decent clothes)

(Reaches the examination hall)

Woh! there are so many people who have come to participate in the exam. There is nearly 700 of them. At the entrance exam, I was shocked to see 300 people but now there are so many people for the promotion exam. (John)

Is that Amon? who is he looking for? (John)

Hey Amon, who are you looking for? (John asks)

Hello, I am looking for my friend named John. Do you need anything from me? (Amon asks politely)

Haaha ha! Seriously dude you are looking for someone who is in front of you? (John laughs)

What? don't kid around the John I am looking for is not you, you may have the same names or something. He was just a skinny pack of bones unlike you with good muscles or stuff. (Amon trying to deny)

Seriously dude I am John, John Ryan is that ok. (John tries to explain)

No way is that really you John? What just happened to you in the past 1 and a half month. (Amon surprised)

Oh, these I happened to meet a world-class gym trainer who transformed me. (John trying to hide)

Oh, who was it? I also want to transform like you. (Amon trying to know with puppy eyes)

Hey back off man it's not like I don't want to tell you but it is no use now and he also made me make a promise to not tell his identity to anyone. (John trying to defy Amon)

"Everyone I am your host for this glorious day where many of you will become Junior rank raiders. My name is Shiki Ryoku I am a 27-year-old Veteran rank raider of the Kakumo guild."

What Kakumo guild? (Everyone shouted surprisingly)

(Kakumo guild is one of the top 100 of the national guilds in the Naraya Country, the Kakumo guild may be at the bottom '90s but it is still considered a strong guild because it contains many veteran rank raiders and some who are above the veteran rank.)

Oh, it seems we have a powerhouse in our Sivery town that is part of the Kakumo guild. What is your opinion on him, John? (Amon asks)

Oh, it seems he is quite ok! (John implies)

What Ok? Did you hit your head or something when you were trapped in the bonus portal? (Amon checks John)

Yeah, I am fine, I just said what I thought nothing more. (John says)

John, you are acting strange but whatever who cares? (Amon)

"Now let me explain to you all about the promotion exam" (Shiki)

"The examination is divided into three stages. The first stage is the test of your ability, the second stage will test your fighting skills and the last stage is to raid a junior rank portal."

"In the second stage of the exam, there is a bonus too. Whoever wins the fighting competition will gain a piece of equipment made of Seraphin scales which are of top grade by the adventurers guild."

(The equipment can be classified into types they are, Low-grade (C), Medium-grade (B), High grade (A) and so on.)

"Now let's commence the promotion exams for the basic rank raiders"

...................The air is filled with tension the people are getting excited. What challenges will the basic rank raider face? What will our Protagonist face in this examination? What surprises await him? Let us see..................
