An Extra’s POV

"I'm ready."

Adonis raised the sword he had taken on his way to this room.

The Guild provided many items and equipment for those who desired to take Tests, though using them was optional.

The items were also pretty basic, so no one taking any advanced test really bothered with them.

Still, with Adonis not having a sword of his own, refusing to even think of bringing out his Divine Sword, this was his only choice.

'It should do the trick.' He told himself, taking a battle stance as he narrowed his gaze on the massive door before hm.

Once it was open, the Monster would charge out… and then came the tricky part.

'I have to try my hardest to hold back, just enough to defeat the A-Tier Monster. That way they can underestimate me as much as possible.'

Adonis would never give them what they desired.

"Very well. I shall now release the A-Tier Monster." Britta said, reaching for a lever that was right beside her.

~CLICK!~

The gigantic door began to tremble, almost mechanical in a sense. And then, the ground beneath it opened.

That very instant, the hinges loosened and the slab of metal that covered the entrance swiftly descended into the abyss.

Before even a second passed, a massive creature charged out of the dark room where it was held and wildly made its entrance.

"GRUAAAAHHHHH!!!"

The creature's body resembled a lion, albeit blackened by its dense hide. It had three scorpion-looking tails, and its six eyes were red with fury.

'Serocis, huh? This is a tricky one, even among A-Tier Monsters.' Adonis stole a glance at the dark gentleman who folded his arms and watched him keenly.

His suitcase was right beside him, as was his partner, Lux.

'Did they pick this one intentionally?'

There were many questions bubbling up within Adonis' mind, but something told him that the ferocious beast he faced wouldn't give him any chance to mull over them.

He strengthened his stance and looked at the creature with untainted resolve, his blade shimmering with the flickering lights.

"Come!"
