Dawn Of Twilight

"Are you sure? You heard all that I said previously?" The receptionist looked at him awkwardly wondering how she met such a craze person.

"Yes." Tobi nodded with his brows slightly furrowed. While he had lied and forged his personal details, he didn't think things would this shocking.

Though, he didn't know how bad it was. It was much better than telling them he was just ten years old and even possibly the most powerful person in the whole of the human continent.

After the old man saw no response, Tobi submitted the form.

"The form and application fee cost 10 copper coins." After Tobi paid up, the old man smiled ruefully with a helpless sigh.

"Young people these days…"

He looked at Tobi with interest, once again he was back at his emotionalism, a familiar attitude he could see when he was in his youthful age.

"Interesting. I haven't seen such an interesting fellow for a long time, let me be his opponent!"

Soon after there was a loud voice that resounded within the hall, and immediately afterward a burly man who was at least two heads taller than your average human, pushed the crowd away as he slowly walked over. His upper body was bȧrė nȧkėd, with what seemed like a roughly toned muscular build and bald head, exaggerating the fierce expression on his face.

On his face were several scars, that seemed to be made from either hot iron or sharp blade marks, he was laced in red pants and red eyes that made him seem more menacing.

"It's the No:1 Bear of the Mercenary, that calls himself Bear1. Am sure this young man is done for today!"

"It's rumored that he's a savage person who likes to test his technique: The Bear Hug on his opponent until their bones shatter. Why is he suddenly causing trouble for an unknown stranger?"

"It should be for a woman, right? He's been interested in the receptionist Daniella Francis for a long time!"

This immediately caused the receptionist to frown, giving whoever that had said those words a deadly glare. "Bear1 what are you doing?"

"Nothing much. I'm also a 2nd level rank 2 warrior anyway, so isn't it normal for me to be an examiner? Or am I wrong?" Bear1 said as he looked at Tobi, a smile slowly crept up on his face.

"What about it?" He looked at the old man at the counter.

"You can give up on this test and come back tomorrow," The old man sighed. He probably did not want to see a young man like Tobi having such a great setback.

Tobi was flabbergasted inwardly. He wasn't expecting things to be this bad, especially when faced with a person who wanted to use him as a stepping stone, to show off.

"It's fine, he'll do." Wait till tomorrow? Even though he was annoyed, He didn't have that much time to waste.

"Then, since you insist I suggest you be careful." His nonchalant attitude resulted in the receptionist to frown even more, nevertheless since he had made up his mind, she neither cared to dissuade him nor about what was going to be his outcome, as she quickly left in anger.

"Kid, you're already dead meat. I want you to feel the wrath of my bear hug, that shatters all bones in my opponent body's bit by bit. Hope that you won't be too hurt badly enough to call for your mama…"

As he walked past him, Bear1 looked at Tobi's eyes behind the hood, as he made an intimidating gesture of slitting his throat.

"Don't worry. Isn't there a healing potion? I actually hope you brought enough money to go on a shop spree…" Tobi shrugged his shoulders, this time the spite in his voice was with a mix of anger.

After his opponent had picked his own weapon, Tobi picked up the long sword used for the testing.

Since it was wooden, the handle was very light. However, there was a layer of metal on the blade that made it seem more durable than a normal wooden cane.

The two slowly walked into the ring, and the judge then waved his right arm downwards, after ringing a bell he shouted.

"Ready? Then Begin!"

"Bear1"

"Bear1!"

"Bear1"

"Destroy him, Bear1!"

"I'm supporting you, kid. Don't die too fast!"

In the large arena, sounds of loud cheers could be heard coming from the audience in the hall.

Some warriors were chanting and cheering loudly, while the others got their bets going, on how many hits Tobi could take from bear1, before being tossed out.

Among the audience a figure slowly creeps to the corner, as she observes what was happening in the arena, Daniella Francis felt anxious and also guilty.

"Kid, this a good day to die hard!" Bear1 yelled, loudly as though a roar as he charged fiercely.

As Tobi examines his opponent, the speed and technique were far below what even he had used when he was just four years old.

Tobi sighed, shaking his head in disappointment. However, he could only conceal his strength, to avoid killing his opponent. Since he didn't need to reveal his strength, instead he chose to lower all his stats to his four years old self.

Bear1 charge like a wide bull, with a perfect aim toward Tobi. However, with Tobi's enhance Hybrid physique, his opponent could only advance at a snail pace to his eyes.

Even still in order not to invite unwanted attention to himself, he only tried dodging 'by an edge', Tobi raised his right arm swinging the wooden sword onto his opponent's shoulder.

'Since I have other things, to do I can't waste much time.' A faint layer of Mana emanated from Tobi's body.

"It's qi! This guy's already activated qi!!" The audience exclaimed loudly, both in excitement and shock.

"This kid's not bad!" Bear1 immediately began to get serious, and he wrapped himself up in the so-called QI. An opponent who had already activated qi was not so easily defeated.

"Battle technique: Bear Hug!" He accelerated, charging towards Tobi.
