(In the upper levels of the Adventurer's Guild)

Many screens were brought up and a lot of people were monitoring. Every movement of the participants was being watched individually. Most of them who were watching were Experienced Adventurers, who had gone on many expeditions. And almost sixty percent among them were veterans, who were needed only during high-level threats to the Guilds.

One particular person who was watching had a cup of coffee in his hand and was sipping as he was watching a bunch of people. But for some reason, he felt his blood get pumped up when he was seeing two individuals. One was a girl, and another one was a man. "Let me look up their information", he thought and he brought up their information.

"Emilia Burnheart. Age Sixteen. Well, pretty impressive, to be able to wield guns at such proficiency at such an age. I wonder for how long she had trained with them? And the other one, let me see. Lucas Smith. Age Eighteen. A dual wielder and he can use spells too. Maybe he is a Magic Swordsman?", he thought as he rubbed his hands in glee.

He noted them down and he went towards another room, which was his boss. He knocked and waited. "Come in", said a gentle and young voice. He entered and saw his boss. He gulped down his saliva as he stepped forward.

To say she was beautiful was an understatement. She was tall and had broad shoulders. She had slightly built muscles, but they added up to her hourglass stature, making her look more alluring. Her light makeup on her face, and her reddish-brown hair, which flowed down to her lower back, made the scene more captivating.

"Blurt it out, Steve. Why are you here?", she said as she moved towards him. She swayed her hips gently from side to side and walked towards him gracefully. "Well, aren't you looking a little more handsome today, my dear?', she teased. "Not at work. Maybe after work, my love?", said Steve in a slightly lower voice.

The woman laughed. "Well, if my fiancé is here inside, it means someone must have caught his eye. To be able to catch your eye. I wonder who it is?", she said as she placed her fingers on her chin. Steve took out his pad and showed the details. "I understand about the Gunslinger. But what is so special about this boy?", she asked as she watched his performance.

"He is a Magic Swordsman. And his weapon, it's unique. I bet he is a Blacksmith too. I've never seen that weapon anywhere. Which means", he paused. "It must be his own design. Ingenious. Ingenious indeed", she praised. "Well, you're still under disguise. The mission takes priority. But I think I can take care of them in the time. And as for you", she said as she inched closer.

She placed her hand on his cheeks and pulled closer. With their faces only an inch away from each other, the tension began to rise. She kissed him on the lips slightly, and the tension broke. Steve pulled her closer and made her yelp a little. She chuckled as he kissed her, their bodies pressed together. After a few minutes, he pulled away.

"I'm sorry, my love. I do want to see how they will do in this test. My curiosity is killing me. We can continue later, Jasmine", he winked as he straightened his shirt and left the room. The scent of his kiss was still lingering around her.

"Well, it's been a long time ever since you got fired up like that. Just make sure you don't anything dangerous", she thought as she watched him go to the door. "And hey, you look pretty today. I love you", he winked and gave a flying kiss to her as he left the room. Her cheeks began to turn red. "You cheeky little!", she fumed and took a deep breath. "And I love you too", she said back to him as the door closed and he was out of sight.

She went back to her seat and pulled herself together. "For the moment, I can watch them from behind. You've caught the eyes of a SSS Rank Adventurer. Let's see how you will fare the things he will throw at you", she chuckled as she turned on her computer, and began to watch the same people he was watching.

(In the test, Lucas)

There was still time left for him. He was now on his way to face the Intermediate Tier Beasts that were huddled together. "But why are they huddled together? Shouldn't they have a leader or something among them? Basic Tier's are Beasts that live in packs, well most of them. But in an Intermediate Tier Beast Pack, there is always one of a higher Tier, who will command the rest", he thought as he was running.

The Map still showed that there were no Beasts above the Intermediate Tier in the pack. This was confusing for him, but he was now confident in his skills to take down a group of ten. But the group he was aiming for had twenty. He thought up sneaking up on them, but he knew that in broad daylight, it was not ideal.

He neared the pack and was about to attack when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He was about to slice the hand off, but then he saw a familiar face. "Emilia", he smiled. She flashed him a sweet smile and crouched next to him. "So, how many of those do you think you think you can handle?", she asked.

Lucas counted almost twenty Beasts in front of him. "Ten, maybe eleven", he said. Emilia looked at him in shock. "What kind of monster are you? They are Intermediate Tier Beasts, I remind you", she said. Lucas shrugged as he walked past her, right into the den.

He cast [Icicle] and [Fireball] to the nearest Beast, weakening it. He then stabbed his blades through the gut, killing it in an instant. "That's one", he counted. He used the [Inspect] to know information about the Beast.

[Intermediate Tier Beast - Silver Praying Mantis]

[These beasts are weak to Fire Magic. They can harden their bodies using Silver metal, and they can use it to attack their enemies as well. Beware for their pack, and if you're stuck within it, they will coordinate their attacks]

Lucas smiled. "Well, the sneak attack worked like a charm. They won't be able to coordinate for at least a minute or two. Let's begin the slaughter", he thought as he sliced the guts of the second beast, killing it quickly. He heard a gunshot whiz past him, and it hit the dead center of another Beast. "Can't let you hog all the Beasts for yourself", she said as she ran past him.

Lucas smiled as he sliced another and another. "Man, if only this wasn't the illusory world, I would have killed Fire and Ice-type Advanced Tier Beasts, and taken their cores to upgrade my weapon", he thought. He sliced through the Beasts and was bathing in its blood. Later, they both had finished killing the pack.

"Well, my predictions were slightly off. It seems like I'm capable enough to kill twelve", he said to Emilia. She just scoffed and turned her head abruptly away from him. "So cute", he thought as he watched her walk into the woods. "Where are you off to?", he asked as he followed behind.

"To look for Beasts to kill. I have to pass this test, no matter what", she said with resolve. Lucas smiled as he saw the determination in her eyes. He then placed his hands on the ground and closed his eyes. He was just acting as he knew where to go next right away. "Let's head in that direction", he said to her.

"What was that?", she asked as she watched him do something peculiar. But she followed him regardless. "Well, that's a skill of mine. I can determine any movements of around three kilometers radius from where I'm standing. I can't use it very often, so I try locating stationery packs. Maybe one time at most. And I've located two packs, one Advanced and one Legendary", he said.

"That's a very cool skill to have. Now if only it could be used a lot, then we will be able to kill every single Beast here", she said. "Well, if you're confident enough, you can go up against the Demon Tier, alone", he commented, with a tinge of sarcasm. She just shook her head sideways, but they went forward towards the pack of Advanced Tier Beasts.

"How many can you take down?", she asked. He smiled and didn't reply. "It depends on the type of Beast. I don't know what we will be facing, and thus we must prepare for the worst. I expect I can take down at least seven or maybe eight if I am lucky", he replied.

After they reached the place, they hid themselves, ready to strike the Beasts as soon as possible.
