"So what does your family do?" Leilani was the first one to speak. It was already night ti, I made blankets out of the skin of animals I hunted; they both wrapped themselves in them. We all sat around the fire, eating the skewered at I prepared.
"My mum is my only family, she works as a part ti healer for the Vrion Hospital, but most of the ti she stays ho. I provide for us also as a hunter for the Hunter Association." I lied, biting into my at.
"The military has kept a record of you, you're quite famous." Rakeria stared at with curious eyes.
"What do you an I'm famous?" I asked.
"Your ruthless killings, even I've seen your track record, you've hunted thousands of beasts from A to D rank. The military keeps track of people that may deem a threat to the kingdom in the future. At the mont your threat level is A rated." She picked up more at and chomped it down.
I didn't know how they got this much information about , it must have been the Hunter Association. Either Gramps gave this information to the hunter association to not get in trouble and they then passed it onto the Military.
Normal civilians weren't allowed to hunt beasts without permission from the Hunter Association, that's why Gramps must have made a deal with them, so I could carry on hunting.
Did that an, the military had eyes on my friends as well? I knew what they would do, if they couldn't ta , they'd exploit my weakness: my family and friends. I didn't plan on staying in this kingdom forever anyways.
The growth period was 10 years long, so I had ti till I was 22, to reach S rank and beco powerful enough to ascend to the Upper realm through the Tower of Truth.
"So do you have a girlfriend?" Leilani asked, looking at awaiting my answer.
"No." For so reason, an angry Malia face popped up in my head as I said that and I almost dropped my at.
"That's a sha, do you mind if I take you to my parents one day?" she asked, smiling. Both Rakeria and I were surprised by her proposal.
"Mmh, sure." I had no intention of marrying her if that's what she was thinking, I just needed good ties in the Elven Kingdom, that was my next destination after all.
"Let's wrap this up, I'm heading to sleep." I said, getting up and going to the river to wash my hands.
"Good night!" they both said, also getting up and going to wash their hands.
Damn I was knackered! I had managed to level up once today; now I was at level 66 but that required to clear almost all the beasts in the periter. In a way, I helped everyone pass the first day.
I jumped on my self made bed and cuddled up underneath the blanket I made out of beast fur. The igloo made it cold but I made sure to keep a fire in both the rooms for warmth.

My sleep was broken when I felt so unnecessary movent. A strange warmth enveloped the left side of my body. A warm cushion? What's this soft thing touching my arm?
I drowsily opened my eyes and looked to the left.
WHAT THE-
"Oh sorry, did I wake you up?" Leilani's voice ca out sluggish as she hugged my arm tighter. She was under my blanket with ! This psycho!
I scread in my mind leaping up from the bed.
"What the hell are you doing?" I said, my face had turned red. Her shoulders were bare, aning she probably didn't have clothes on.
"Sorry, I always sleep with soone and Rakeria's snoring is too loud. Can I sleep with you, please?" She looked at with puppy eyes. Another vision of Malia's angry face popped up in my head making shiver.
"No! Go sleep with Rakeria."
"But she snores so loud."
ZZZzzzzzzzzz!
Loud snores could be heard from the other room. Crap! This psycho was going to end up sleeping next to . Leilani looked at , biting her lower lip and smiled like I had lost the battle and I'd sleep with her now.
Ahhh hell nahhh!!! Like hell was I going to sleep with this elf girl! I didn't want to beco a father yet!!
"You sleep on my bed then, I'm making another room." I said taking my blanket, she gripped my arm looking like she was going to cry.
'Don't fall for it Zeref!' I kept repeating in my head.
"Let go of my hand, this isn't funny anymore. I barely even know you and this is extrely inappropriate. Go cover yourself." I said moving my gaze away from her. She looked down at her chest then whimpered before running into Rakeria's room.
I sighed jumping back into my self made bed and cuddling myself under the warmth of the blanket.

The next few days went well, I did my job and protected the two while they also went hunting once in a while.
I helped them improve their abilities too, Rakeria had a branched Earth elent; she could create small tremors and earthquakes under the ground. I also showed her how to use her dagger properly but she insisted that I keep her enchanted dagger.
Leilani on the other hand was a hard one to stay with. Every night I'd tell her off for trying to jump in my bed whilst I slept, it drove crazy.
She also had a knack for nature magic, true of an elf; her magical prowess was strong and with practise she beca more confident. She was able to handle hordes of Ground rats by herself and needed my help with other C rank beasts.
We survived without the other 2 noble kids, who died in the beginning and we went back to school after the 9 days were over. It was a good experience and our friendship beca solid like steel. I didn't know what they saw as but I took them as sisters, that I nurtured and helped grow.
"See you guys again." I waved at the two girls smiling.
"See you Zeref!" Leilani blew a kiss, making roll my eyes. Rakeria, on the other hand, gave a respected salute before walking off with Leilani. Both of them didn't have many friends so in this 9 day period they had beco best friends.
We were the last team to make it back and survived the longest, for that we got bonus rits. I made sure to wipe all the beasts near our camp everyday and leave a couple strong ones so the other teams would fail.
I was able to level up twice more in the 9 day period making this exam quite beneficial; I placed 30 stat points that I saved up into intelligence making it rise to 90.
Our group also earned a 1000 rits and A*s for surviving the 9th day and making it back. This led to a lot of backlash and reports against us from nobles, that we were possibly cheating. Thank God Xanxus was the principal and not so other snot nosed noble.
At least now the tests were over.
