CHAPTER 46: REGISTRATION (4)

While the power leveling system of colored humans involves sword level cultivation and mana convergence stage.

Variant humans are divided into classes and tiers.

While there are different colored humans in existence. There are only one species amongst each colored humans.

But variant humans are different. Especially demonic variant humans.

Having twelve classified species of each demonic variant human group. Goblins, Trolls, Beastmen, Vampires and many more.

And this classified species are divided into two, six higher class species and six lower class species.

Each species having a specific kings known as boss monsters and this boss monsters are recorded as tier monsters.

Just like the E-tier Snow Goblin Caden faced. It was a boss monster and also the king of the Snow Goblin group he had encountered.

Tier boss monsters evolves beyond the limitations of their species.

Since variant humans do not have skills neither do they have sword level cultivation or mana convergence stage.

They make up for it using their traditional beast art.

An art technique only common amongst the demonic variant humans.

**

Right now, this island is filled with overwhelming numbers of demonic variant humans.

And Caden was facing two higher-tier species at once.

Red Hair Goblins had their native green skin but long silk crimson hair. Their fangs carried toxins and bacterias.

Strong enough to paralyze any colored human.

And they’re known for their innate speed. The fastest Goblin species, while the Two-Headed Trolls are known for their twin heads.

Also classified as an higher-class Troll species.

They’re known for their eye laser beams. Channeling mana through their Mana Cores and into their eyes.

They could fire beams from their eyes without hesitation. There were tens of them slowly encircling him.

Caden knew he’s in for some dangerous clash.

Caden exhaled softly "I knew about the numbered test but since I was admitted into one of the lowest ranked royal academies"

"I thought it wouldn’t be this difficult" His lips curled into a faint smile, Caden’s Mana Core was exposed.

Revealing a Mana Aptitude of 18.05%

He had already absorbed the Mana Cores of the stone trolls he slaughtered back in the Red Crescent Kingdom.

His Mana Aptitude increased thanks to the technique he used to raise his aptitude.

Caden’s eyes flickered "I’m tempted to draw out my graded weapon but that would be later"

"For now.....let’s test out my physical strength against higher class species" He chuckled.

Tightening clenching unto the sheathed scabbard hunged on his waist. He let go of it.

"Arhhh garr yak Tak" A two-headed Troll growled. It’s eyes flickered when it fired a cerulean hued laser beam.

[B-Ranked Skill: Draconic Scales is active]

Caden activated his B-Ranked Skill: Draconic Scales, summoning his mutated cells and transforming them into scales.

His arms were covered with near indestructible scales. He raised his arms, aiming to block the laser beam.

A collision occured, sending shockwaves through the air. Although Caden wasn’t hurt by that collision.

He was sent crashing, Caden quickly got up from the ground. His eyes gleamed "My draconic scales really is near-indestructible"

"That was me being on defensive, It’s time to go on offense" Caden muttered, his eyes flickered once again.

And in an instant, he vanished into thin air.

Appearing behind the Two-Headed Troll that had blasted him back, not hiding his murderous intents.

Caden unsheathed his graded weapon, and with, the two heads of the Two-Headed Troll fell, its body fell flat on the ground.

Seeing one of its kind die, the rest of the Two-Headed Trolls were triggered by this and they attacked.

Cerulean laser beams were fired against Caden Ryder. But Caden was fast enough to evade everything.

He leapt back, gaining distance between himself and the Two-Headed Trolls when they came rushing.

The Red Hair Goblins.

Three attacked simultaneously, this goblins were faster than any colored human.

When sprinting, it’s just like they had merged with the wind. But they weren’t too fast enough for Caden.

It’s just that Caden considered their speed annoying. After all, it wasn’t only one Red Hair Goblin he was facing.

He was facing against sixteen of them.

"Tch" Caden kissed his teeth, he blocked the attacks of the Red Hair Goblins, he clenched tightly onto his blade.

His body flickered, he swung his graded weapon against the three Red Hair Goblins.

But they were fast enough to avoid getting chopped in half. They all fell back, giving the Two-Headed Trolls opportunity to attack again.

They had successfully encircled Caden. Trapping him as the Two-Headed Trolls unleashed their attacks.

Laser beams rained down upon Caden from all direction.

[B-Ranked Skill: Draconic Scales]

Caden activated his B-Ranked Skill: Draconic Scales once again. But this time, he didn’t only focus on his arms.

His mutated cells expanded, covering every single area of his body. Although the scales blocked the laser beams.

But the pressure was felt by his body.

Caden gritted his teeths "Fuckkk" He growled out loud. "Just as I predicted, this pigs are annoying!"

"Status" Caden summoned the transparent cyan panel once again. The virtual window appeared before his eyes.

[Would you like to activate the S-Ranked Innate Skill: Frost Life?]

[Yes] [No]

Caden wasted no time and he quickly clicked the Yes icon.

[Permission Confirmed]

[Activating S-Ranked Innate Skill: Frost Life]

Caden’s lips curled into a faint smile as he could feel the power of his S-Ranked Innate Skill.

Frost energy leaked out of his flesh, corroding the air and in an instant, the area was frozen.

The Two-Headed Trolls were afflicted by the S-Ranked Innate Skill, becoming ice sculptures.

Seeing this, Caden breathed in deeply.....he could finally find some relaxing time.

A few Red Hair Goblins were caught up in his frozen rampage. But many had sensed it, they all fled the scene.

Everyone else became ice sculptures.

Right now, Caden has no active organs inside of him. He has completely merged with frost.

"Those eyes of yours are really troublesome to me" Caden spoke, slowly approaching the frozen Two-Headed Trolls.

He approached the first Two-Headed Troll, with a single swing of his hand. The ice sculpture shattered into pieces.

[You’ve slain a Two-Headed Troll]

[You’ve received 4exp]

"Hmm, slaying my first Two-Headed Troll gave me 8exp If I’m correct, I guess there’s always a first time reward" Caden couldn’t help but smile.

He approached another and the process was repeated again.

[You’ve slain a Two-Headed Troll]

[You’ve received 4exp]

Without hesitation, Caden attacked the rest of the ice sculptures, shattering them with ease.

[You’ve slain a Two-Headed Troll]

[You’ve slain a Two-Headed Troll]

[You’ve slain a Two-Headed Troll]

[You’ve slain a Two-Headed Troll]

[You’ve received 4exp]

[You’ve received 4exp]

[You’ve received 4exp]

[You’ve received 4exp]

[You’ve received 4exp]

Caden kept receiving notifications upon notifications as he went through the Two-Headed Trolls.

Within a few minutes, all the Two-Headed Trolls were slaughtered by Caden Ryder.

It was time for the few Red Hair Goblins he had caught.

[You’ve slain your first Red Hair Goblin]

[You’ve received 6exp]

[You’ve slain a Red Hair Goblin]

[You’ve received 3exp]

[You’ve slain a Red Hair Goblin]

[You’ve received 3exp]

"So the Two-Headed Trolls gives me 4exp and this Red Hair Goblins gives me 3exp, that’s interesting" a grin appeared on Caden’s lips.

Surrounding him were shards of ice sculptures he had shattered. Inside this shards were numerous body parts.

"I should leave this Mana Cores for the royal academy" Caden concluded "I don’t know if they’re mine for the taken so I won’t take my chances"

He slightly tilted his head "Isn’t that the direction where the rest of the Red Hair Goblins fled to?"

"They were the ones who attacked me first, they should understand the consequences of their actions"

Caden’s eyes gleamed "It’s time to be the hunter"

***

Present in his office, Darius Kincaid could be seen going through some documents, there were numerous files which were piled up on his table.

Darius being a lazy man, had ignored many files, leaving them for others to attend to.

But this time, it was important.

For he’s the one who will determine the numbers of all participating first year students.

Darius had been busy going through the files of over four thousand students who were enrolled into his Valor Royal Academy.

While busy, he heard a knock on his door "Come in" Darius spoke, the door creaked open.

And a middle-aged looking figure stepped into his office. Dressed in a black suit, this figure bowed his head before Darius.

"Greetings Head Chancellor Darius Kincaid, I bring you news" the figure spoke.

Although this man is also an executive of the Valor Royal Academy, giving his status as a Mana Convergence Stage, Arch Mage.

But Darius is the overall authority in this Academy.

Darius smiled "I believe it has to do with the ongoing numbered test’s first stage right?"

The figure nodded "Yes Head Chancellor, I’ve received a report confirming that one of the students has passed the first stage of the numbered test"

Darius eyes widened in shock "Already? How many demonic variant humans did he kill?" Darius asked, one could feel the excitement in his voice.

"A total of five hundred, three hundred Two-Headed Trolls and two hundred Red Hair Goblins" the figure reported.

Darius chuckled softly "Impressive, those variant humans were higher-class species"

"Who exactly was that student?" He asked.

The figure softly exhaled "He’s the top winner of the Emerald Awakening Ceremony"

"The trending star, Caden Ryder"
