Treasure Hunter

Chapter 4: ID

The Awakeners Association had its base deeper in the city in a cool looking spiral building with glass from the doors, to the walls, to the roof, it was just glass. The bird headed man whose name was Goma led Leit inside the building. 

“Mr Goma, I'm the one who'll be assisting you in your teammates assessment, please follow me this way please.” said a rat headed person wearing a suit. 

While chatting, Goma had also made an assessment appointment with the Awakeners Association. Making an appointment saved time and the process was very quick. 

Goma and his group were led to a huge room with a black pillar with a radius of fifty meters and a height of a hundred meters. Beside the pillar was a treadmill designed machine and beside that was a massive transparent orb that levitated in the air. Leit was first asked some general questions, had his fingerprints and blood taken and even a voice recording and eye scan. After that was done, it was finally time to test his rank. 

Every person's status panel could only be seen by them and no one else so they couldn't show their panels for others to see. Machines used to test Awakeners were then built. 

“Sir Leit, please punch the Force Absorber with all your strength.” said the rat headed man. Leit looked at this black pillar and was shocked by its rank, it was actually an A-Rank treasure. Leit clenched his fist and punched the Force Absorber with all the strength he could muster. 

Bang! 

Numbers on the Force Absorber and quickly rose up to the thousands, then the tens of thousands and finally the hundreds of thousands. 

<255050 kg/f>

Leit's punch contained a force of slightly more than 250000 kilograms of force. The Birdman Mercenary Group members were elated when they saw the results while the rat headed man only raised an eyebrow. Then came the treadmill designed machine and Leit's speed was recorded as 12 km/s, this meant that Leit had surpassed the speed of sound by a few levels. 

The final test was the measurement of Mana and Leit's 1001 worth of Mana was revealed on the transparent orb. The surprising thing was that the massive orb was supposed to change colour depending on the element Leit used, red for fire, light green for wind, dark green for plants, brown for earth, blue for water, white for ice and blushing white for lightning. 

This meant that Leit hadn't delved into magic and had purely reached his current rank using only his physical strength, at least, that was what the rat headed man concluded. 

“Congratulations Mr Leit, you are officially a B-Rank Awakener, here is your identity card and it comes with many perks and benefits that ordinary people don't enjoy. It also has ten million points for you to spend as you wish.” said the rat headed man with a friendly smile as he escorted them out of the building. 

“Leit, now that you got your ID, welcome to the Birdman Mercenary Group. Now, we're going to go to a few hotspots with gangs and criminals in order to give you some combat experience and EXP or kill some monsters to obtain EXP.”

“Choose whichever one you think will be useful to my growth.” said Leit while looking at his ID.

“Then we'll start by killing monsters. Intelligence beings are a bit difficult to deal with so let's start simple. By the way, should we go to the Forge to buy some equipment for you?” asked Goma.

“Let's go kill some monsters first, we'll talk about the rest later.”

“Okay, then let's get going.”

…

“I've just found a goblin village with approximately a small population of a thousand of them. The village is not that strong, only consisting of ten E-Rank and one D-Rank, the rest is just cannon fodder.” said the snake eyed lady, her name was Sally. 

There was also two leopard headed and clawed men who looked alike and their names were Rover and Clover, a muscular bull headed man called Bann, buffalo headed man called Dan and the gorgeous green skinned lady called Tess. Leit had gotten to know them on their way here.

“A thousand strong goblin village with ten E-Ranks and one D-Rank, something is fishy here. There's definitely something wrong with this goblin village.”

“So what's the plan? The D-Rank goblin might be a Mage.”

While the group discussed the plan on how to handle the village, Leit caught the scent of something delicious. Whatever it was smelled so delicious that Leit it watered his mouth and controlled his thought processes. 

Swoosh! 

Everyone was hit by a soft breeze and when they raised their heads, Leit was gone. 

“Where's Leit? He was just here a second ago.”

“Is it possible that he went to the goblin village alone?”

“Let's go!”

…

Leit without arrived at the goblin village without even hiding himself, his eyes were focused on the biggest wooden house in the goblin village. 

Krrrrr!

One of the goblins roared, likely alerting all goblins of the village. Leit ignored the goblins and went straight for the biggest house but the goblins wouldn't make it easy for him. The goblin army came out carrying bows and arrows and aimed them at Leit then the arrows were fired. In complete control of his instincts, Leit simply took a step and appeared in front of the goblins that were fifty meters away. 

When he appeared in front of the goblins, he waved his hand and released a powerful wind force that obliterated the ugly and green creatures with a horrible stench. He waved his hands a few times and all the goblins were taken care of. Then he continued walking towards the wooden house. 

His chin was dripping in saliva and his eyes were dilated with a dazed expression. Ten goblins as tall as him with muscular bodies blocked his path.

Swoosh! 

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! 

A second later, the ten goblins were headless as blood sprayed from their necks. The two metre tall goblin who just came out of the wooden house froze in place and watched Leit approach the wooden. This goblin was the D-Rank goblin but at this moment, it feared for its life and didn't dare to confront Leit. 

Leit also ignored it and entered the wooden house where there was half a meter statue of a monster with three heads, a goat head, a pig head and a horse head. The statue had six arms with each hand holding a head of a baby from six different races and had tentacles for legs. The black statue was floating above a pool of blood with mutilated goblins inside this blood pool.
