"I want to take both the tests, Sir"

Eren said standing in between the two groups!

Joshua who was about to start examining the candidates stopped in his tracks and looked at him. All the other cadet's also turned towards him as they found a new cadet wanting to take both tests surprising.

'Is that the famous Toy-boy of the Rozentals?'

He thought looking at Eren.

'He wants to do both the Physical test and skill manifestation test? Usually, it's recommended to focus on only one... Is he trying to show off now? '

Joshua glared at Eren thinking that he is using the chance to show off, but Eren didn't back down, he stood his ground against the S-rank.

'Well, it's none of my business!'

"Come forward, we will do your test first"

Honestly, he just wanted to get done with the test and go home, He was already too tired that he didn't want to even argue with anyone.

Eren nodded his head walking ahead. he could sense cold gazes from other cadets but it wasn't anything new for him who was practically treated as a piece of Shit in the Rozental household.

Coming forward he stood in front of the machine which looked like a huge robot except that in the place of its stomach there was something like a punching bag and on its face was a digital display.

"Hit it as hard as you can," Joshua said standing at a certain distance away from the machine.

"I just have to hit that thing right?"

Eren asked him once again to confirm if he heard him right!

"Yeah! you just need to hit that as hard as you can, The machine will analyze the power behind the punch and will display a score for you"

The machine was designed to display the strength of individuals in numbers, the lower the score, the better the results!

"Oh!"

Eren exclaimed at this explanation as he found the machine pretty interesting!

Looking at his exclaimed face, Joshua decide to spice things up a little since he was trying so hard to show up, he need to make sure to crush his spirit right?

"The highest record for the new awakened is 1.25 which was scored by William Jones of US ten years ago, and the best in our country was 1.69 scored by none other than the second son of Rozentals, you might know about it, right?"

How could he not!

It was a hot matter when his brother-in-law, the third son of the Rozentals awakened, not only was he an Irregular, he had immense physical power too, He was called the rising star at that time!

"Hmm"

Eren nodded slightly as he got ready to give it his best shot!

His father-in-law has promised to protect him for six months but no matter how much he tries to increase his power, he still couldn't escape from the danger of Julia's siblings, not even with the power of the system.

So, his only hope now was to catch the attention of his father-in-law, He planned to go all out and show his father-in-law how much of a talent he was!

That way even his father-in-law himself couldn't help but protect him, even in the off case he rejects to offer any support to Eren, The Rozentals had many enemies, and any of them would welcome him with open hands!

Eren thought about all the humiliation he had faced and took the posture to puch! He took his hand back and pushed it back with the palm of his other hand and firmly planted his foot on the ground.

He decided to use 'Hateful strike' and took a deep breath in.

The memories of him getting bullied and the humiliations he faced, filled his head.

He released his hand which was headed straight towards the machine...But at the last second, a variable occurred!

ding!

[Passive 'Devotion to Revenge' has been activated!]

[Strength stat has increased by 10 for 10s]

[Caution!: Half of your stamina is consumed as a sacrifice]

ding!

['Hateful strike' is activated!]

[Your next attack will deal 100% more damage]

The passive which he thought was uselessly activated for the first time!

But the problem was the time that it activated! He was already using hateful strike combined with his 22 stat in strength which would deal damage equivalent to 44, which was already at the range of upper E rank!

But now that the passive also activated, his strength jumped to 32 although only for 10s, it meant that his next attack would deal damage equivalent to 64 stat in strength, which was the damage range of low-class D-rank!!

'F*ck!'

Eren cursed inside, as even though he wanted to show off! A newbie awakening the strength of D-rank would be too much, He had no thoughts of becoming a scapegoat of all the channels that would make a mess of things if he ever got evaluated as D-rank!

So, at the last second when the punch was about to land on the machine he made effort to pull back his hand!

Boom!

Though he tried to pull back, the result was obvious! 

A loud sound resonated in the massive room as the giant machine was pushed back about two meters due to the impact!!

The candidates and the examiners had their mouths wide open seeing the machine!

'Is that really the Toy boy of the Rozentals?'

'Isn't he supposed to be a useless loser?'

'What's with that strength? How much did he score?'

Everyone had such thoughts on their heads and slowly turned towards the head of the machine!

1.26!!

'what the..!'

'1.26!'

Everyone exclaimed seeing the score on the machine! it was 1.26! just 0.01 more than the world record!!

Everyone turned towards the man who was now standing in front of the machine, he was a bit sweaty and his face looked pale but other than that he was completely fine!

"A new record!"

someone in the group exclaimed loudly!

" A new record of the country!"

And shortly after exclamations broke out all around the massive room!

And right in the middle of all that chaos, Joshua was standing looking at Eren

stupefied, but for a whole different reason!

'What did I see just now? Did he really hold back his power at the last movement!!?'

As expected, Eren couldn't escape the eyes of a S ranker.

  • Chapter 113

    Eren's mind raced as he absorbed the revelation that the Fire Dragon, Ugram, was bound by a sacred pact to protect and aid the Pendragon family. The implications were vast and hinted at a deeper conspiracy that had plagued his past life.His thoughts turned to the decline of the Pendragon family in his previous life. He recalled the tragic event that wiped out his entire family, leaving him as the sole survivor. It had been a night of chaos and destruction, with the fire dragon going on a rampage, nearly destroying the empire.But the fire dragon was now telling that it wasn’t the one Eren pondered the events, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the story. The pieces didn't fit together neatly, and there were gaps in his memory, as if some crucial information was intentionally hidden from him."Ugram, I believe there was a traitor among the Pendragon household in my past life," Eren began, his voice firm and resolute. "Someone who betrayed us and manipulated the

    "What kind of nonsense... aren't you the one who gave it to that rabbit?" Eren questioned, clearly perplexed by the situation.Mr. Nice guy simply shrugged in response, implying that it didn't really matter. At the moment, what mattered was that their beloved Tori had become a thief."Then, based on the proof of my rank, I should find the rabbit named Tori before my condition runs out," Eren concluded, looking for confirmation from Mr. Nice guy.Mr. Nice guy nodded, confirming Eren's statement. Without wasting any time, Eren mentally prepared himself and felt his body warm up instantly.His condition level was at 98%, and the drop rate was noticeably slow due to his high condition."I have to catch all the rabbits and turn them over," Eren thought determinedly. Although it was a laborious task, he believed it was not impossible.However, he couldn't afford to relax just yet. Time was of the essence, and he needed to make every second count.Just as Eren was about to sprint forward, Mr

    When Eren heard that Mr guy was participating in the test, it was the first way that came to mind in Eren’s mind.‘It’s close to impossible for me to find it myself. So, borrow the opponent’s hand again this time.’In fact, it was an operation that could have failed if the opponent was not Mister Guy, a rather talkative evaluator.‘But still, I thought if it’s Mister Guy, he would spit it out at least once in a fatal situation.’In other words, he will surely spit out the word promise when he finds Tori, the situation assumed as the spell.The prediction was completely correct.Of course, it would have been better if it was just before catching Tori, but the situation is not bad now.“See. It’s my victory. No matter how many praiseful situations you’re going to throw in, I also have all the means.”The doubtful Eren, who confirmed that there was no star-shaped dot as a result of flipping the first rabbit’s belly, marked it with a pen and jumped toward the second, feeling anxious for s

    13 minutes could feel incredibly long or incredibly short, depending on the person. Mister Guy let out a short sigh as he watched Eren in the distance, struggling to catch and number rabbits all on his own."It's such a shame. This was supposed to be a special test, and there must have been some good growth. But rules are rules," Mister Guy muttered to himself.He began walking towards Eren, his long legs carrying him effortlessly."It seems you misunderstood, Mister Eren. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on your side," he said, disappointment evident in his voice.Mister Guy knew firsthand just how challenging the rabbit-hunting, thief-catching test was. It was even difficult for him, and he had the support of the powerful God who watched over the test from above. Without their help, it would have been impossible to create such a difficult test for an E-Rank promotion evaluation."I didn't expect that person to pay attention to him so soon," Mister Guy thought, setting aside his thoughts a
