Chapter 21: First Exam Done!

At the finish line, many terrifying but amazing events happened.

For instance, there were participants that were actually far from newbies, their teams and presences compelling the coalition to step aside, dispelling all schemes against them.

Their names, appearances, surnames, or even just sheer presence were things no one wanted to trifle with.

Then, there were solo newbies whose skills were on such a high level that the coalition's impregnable wall of influence suffered a few losses just from trying to stop them.

Nothing was absolute in the hunter world… and strength was often the answer to everything.

In Hunter's case, he and his teammate decided to scheme a little.

And as the time ticked, and the first exam was about to be done, Aimee and Hunter left their hiding spot, appearing at the mountain's feet and the finish line like a pair of weirdos.

Their equipment was drenched in blood, and slices of meat and organs were dripping off their chins and clothes. Moreover, Aimee felt compelled to turn off her newly acquired skill, filling the surroundings with the pungent and awful smell of their sweat mixed with the corpse's insides.

They looked absolutely disgusting, yet Hunter and Aimee were smiling from ear to ear.

Which was because people at the scene hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

They were bewildered to see them emerge from the corpse, but still, nothing was more bemusing than the obnoxious smell and how these two could stand still while drowned in that.

"Look, it must be her. That hoarse and impressive voice of a leader," Hunter drew Aimee's attention, pointing at the woman looking at them with a furious expression.

Her pair of eyes appeared sculpted after the beast's eyes, making her even more dangerous.

Yet, Hunter and Aimee were more than pleased to be the center of her indignation.

Aimee nodded, "Yes. It's her." Her voice grew louder then, "How many people were you allowing to cross the finish line per a corpse? Two? Oh, thanks for giving us a free pass then. Find me later. I'll share my tea with you."

"I didn't know you were this cheeky, Aimee," Hunter grinned.

Aimee threw her bloody and messy hair behind before replying to her teammate, "I don't like her eyes."

Meanwhile, the beast woman closed the distance with the duo in a shaking and swaying gait, looking like a gangster from cheap movies.

Her voice was loud and mainly directed at Aimee, "I can still throw you away-"

At the same time, the huge hologram appeared above the mountain's feet…

[First Exam, Hunt, is over. One thousand and eighty participants have passed it.]

[Successful participants will now receive an hour break in the white rooms.]

[Those who failed will appear in the red rooms and are free to spend the rest of the day here. Feel free to participate next year with your new experience!]

[The Hunter First Union pays condolences to the deceased aspiring hunters. We promise to send their bodies back to their homes and pay assurance to their families.]

After those deep and cruel messages, the entire domain became empty of humans.

All were thrown to their respective rooms.

-

Appearing in a white room without any windows, Hunter blinked for a few seconds before laughing aloud.

"I did it! The first exam passed! Two more to go! I wonder what will be tested next!" Hunter clenched his right hand tightly and smiled, feeling content with himself.

Which couldn't be said about his drenched in foreign blood body… he quickly dealt with this by taking his bloody armor and clothes off.

All naked, Hunter finally allowed himself to take a peek at his room.

The room was simple, with a bed in the corner and a desk close to it. There was a white table perched in the middle, which Hunter used to keep his equipment off the floor.

He then noticed the bathroom door.

In fact, it felt like it was calling him!

"I must brush my teeth!"

Since he had been carrying his backpack with him all this time, Hunter wasn't troubled by the lack of resources. Of course, he was the only one to bring toothpaste with him to the exam… he brushed his teeth a lot, then jumped into the shower to finally look like a human.

The shower seemed more modern than anything Hunter had seen in the new world. Which made his bath a little longer than it should have been.

'Cold baths are the best!'

Hunter left the bathroom with satisfaction brimming on his face. And now that he was clean and ready to work, he scoured the entire room and bathroom in search of more cleaning stuff to deal with his equipment and black gloves.

Since the black gloves were a precious item and his ticket to the beautiful guild leader, Hunter washed them first, inwardly praying he'd done nothing wrong.

After that, Hunter proceeded to deal with the rest of his clothes and armor, wiping off and polishing them with the utmost care and a smile.

While the rest of the participants were either sleeping soundly in hopes of regenerating as much strength as possible or were barely tired from their schemes and connections, Hunter was like a ball of energy and positivism, doing his work with a wide smile on his face.

Anyone who would see him would smile and get motivated.

"All done! Now, I'll lay on the bed for a while-"

[The break is over.]

"Wait a second! I am still naked!" Hunter lurched at his still slightly wet clothes, putting them on.

At last, it was time for the second exam.

[Second Exam — Domino!]

[Starts now!]

Hunter was pulled to the second exam without any warning, appearing in quite a messy land with his teammate waiting for him.

And other than Aimee, there were a couple more women, all shocked by the hologram floating above them.

[Second Exam's time limit: thirty minutes.]
