One More Time: Rebirth

Chapter 11: The start of the ranking exam

I'm now seven years old so the time to take my first ranking test was coming. So I was doing some last-minute check-ups and according to my parents, my current skill level was something like this:

Magic:

Fire:C class

Water: C class

Earth: C class

Wind: D class

Healing: E class

Sword:

Fire style: C class

Water style: C class

Wind style: D class

Void style: D class

I was already nearing the strength of my parents, that is if you include the techniques I know from my previous life. Well aside from that, my training turned out better than I expected during the two months before my seventh birthday.

On a side note ever since my sister was able to walk she would keep on clinging to me after practice. Of course, I play with my sister when I have free time. Sometimes I even forego training altogether just to make some time for my little sis. I mean come on how can you deny such a cute creature that keeps on saying "Play with me Brother." While clinging to you, I don't have the will power to deny such a cute thing.

If my little sister told me Brother go beat the demon lord. I don't think I can deny her. Heck if she asks me that she wants to be the princess of the whole world while showing me those puppy dog eyes, I just might do it. I better start training my will power to deny my sister if she asks for the impossible.

We even train together, we do almost everything together. Everything from bathing to strolling, the only time we weren't together was when I go to sleep, but sometime she would sneak into my bed to sleep beside me. This, of course, made my parents green with envy. So there were some times that all four of us would sleep on my bed.

There was only one week left before I would take the ranking test. I was a little excited, my parents, on the other hand, were ecstatic to find out how well I would do in the test.

As of now, instead of practicing, I was given some time to rest for the upcoming test. For this one week I was focusing on my sister. I would tell her the stories mom used to read to me. She would listen intently to my stories and would cutely say "Brother tell me more." We would also play hide and seek inside the mansion. The mansion was huge so it had a lot of hiding spots. Yet no matter where I hide my little sister would always find me.

She was really good at locating me. It's as if she could sense where I was. I asked her how she was able to find me so easily and she would always answer "feeling." That was always her answer to the question. Well, I'll ask again when she widens her vocabulary.

Aside from playing games, we would also practice some swordsmanship her specialty was the water style. Her sense of timing and precision was spectacular, which made the counter heavy style of the water style suitable for her.

The day of the ranking test finally came. My whole family accompanied me to the testing grounds. The once empty examination building that I saw a few years ago, was now full of people. I noticed that there were many shady looking people mixed in the crowd.

Some were wearing heavy-looking armor, others were wearing almost nothing. It was said that people from other villages would come here for the examination. Based on what I understood the reason for them coming to this village was because this was the nearest examination building in this area.

There were, of course, many kids gathered here today which were of my age. Upon entering the building the crowd went quiet and started whispering to each other. I could hear their voices.

(Hey aren't those Silverfall and the grand witch of flame?)

(Huh really what are they doing here?)

(You don't suppose they are here for a rank up?)

(No you idiots their son is going to take the ranking exam.) They were all whispering such things. Mom and dad along with Sarah looked at me and urged me to go inside the waiting room.

Mom told me they will wait for me at the hall, I respond by nodding my head and left. I went in and followed the examiner who was asking for all the no rankers to follow him. We were all placed in one room as expected all no rankers were children my age.

While looking around the room I noticed that there were some children who had animal ears and tails. This must be the warbeasts, and the others that had long pointy ears and purple hair must be from the demon race they were the same as those in my world. The only difference they had from the demon of my previous world that I could notice was the lack of killing intent. The human children in the room weren't bothered by the demons or the warbeast. If this were my previous world putting these three different races in one place, would've resulted in a bloodbath. This world truly is a good world.
