The three months of rest and also training to strengthen themselves really Aiden made the best use of it to the extent that Aiden was able to break through the sky realm, more precisely in the early sky realm. Aiden was even able to master the pure manipulation of the first and second stages very proficiently and not stiff anymore.
"Let's try to get to the extent of the development I've achieved" Aiden told himself as he poured magical energy into his fist.
Bang out! Aiden punched a large tree into a hole, then moved his fist to the side to knock down the tree.
Bang out! Aiden created a stick made of magical energy (pure second stage manipulation) and smashed into the other three large trees to shreds.
The sling! Aiden then created a sword from his magical energy and slashed at the tree behind him.
"Not bad." Aiden commented to himself.
"Register." Aiden called out the list of things in his storage room and took out sword no 3.
Aiden decided to practice sword training to prepare himself in the face of the squad determination round which is rumored squad mates can be in accordance with the ability he has.
The alliance headquarters.
Seven common elders from the seven divisions gathered to discuss the grouping of the 25 demon hunter squad that had just been formed, they were currently listening to the general head of the sealing division's report about their would-be soldiers for the new 25 demon hunting squad.
"Then what about the knights?" ask the chairman Taken who now serves as the elder of the seven divisions of the alliance.
"We the Knight Division certainly already has 25 names of knights, they just have to wait to enter which squad and team with whom." answered Dominik's elder as the capital's automatic knight division elder as the general elder of the knight division.
"Then try to report the 25 knights so that we can decide which squad is best for them" Taken told Dominik.
"Hm, we start from Drake Dragon who comes from the Axl clan or often known as the Drake clan....," chairman Dominik began to tell the story of 25 knights who passed the selection and became core demon hunters and joined the squad.
The elders nodded slightly after hearing the report of the head Dominik who served as the general elder of the knight division about their 25 knights.
"Alright, now we start concocting these demon hunters" Taken excitedly started a meeting to concoct squad members.
The next day 25 new squads have been formed and it just so happens that Aiden is in the number 7 squad and is included in the same squad as Hara.
"This..., didn't you say we can't be a team?" aiden asked suspiciously and there was a hint of disappointment on his face.
"I don't know either, honey, but believe me I didn't deceive you or didn't want a squad with you." Hara replied calmly even though she was slightly affected by Aiden's slightly angry, disappointed, upset mood, and hate him.
"Is it really like that?" asked Aiden while looking intently at Hara who was bowed down miserably and did not dare to return her gaze.
"Here you are, after all, free to determine who is your partner." said Aiden then passed away from before Hara because it was too disappointed.
"Honey..," Hara tries to hold Aiden's hand, but Aiden doesn't let Hara touch his hand at all.
"Darling, I really don't know why it's like this" Hara said sadly as she was ignored by Aiden.
Seven division heads appeared one by one with the unique and intimidating momentum of each of them, astonishing all the core demon hunters present in the arena.
Hara inevitably had to refrain from persuading Aiden who looked very disappointed in her.
"Aiden...," Hara muttered softly as she looked at Aiden who was in front of her unhappily.
Taken as the head of the 7th alliance advanced and said a few words to encourage the demon hunters.
"You must have got the team and colleagues that we have decided, right?" taken asked all the demon hunters who had now joined the squad.
"Did you accept your partner?" taken asked back, but the results were still silent no one responded.
"Where you can replace your teammates with new ones by challenging other squad leaders, the losers must leave the squad and the victors can choose one of the squad members." obviously Chairman Taken.
Everyone nodded in understanding even though a small part of them just nodded and did not understand at all the rules of determining the squad organized 7 divisions.
"Please" said Taken, allowing a witch to ask questions by raising her hand.
"Dear Master please explain in more detail how do we replace our colleagues?" ask the witch timidly to chief Taken.
"Alright, I'll try to explain in more detail." Taken responded with a sumringah.
Taken said that each interim team leader has the right to replace his partner by challenging the other team leaders, where if they lose they have to leave the team in the meantime and wait for the other team who wants to recruit him, but if he wins then he can pick the teammates he challenges and throw away the teammates he doesn't like.
Chairman Taken also said anyone is free to be captain, but the risk is to be out of the team if you lose to another team captain.
As a result, all participants began to understand Taken's intentions when described in more detail, they began to determine who was the team captain they would appoint as their team captain.
"All right, soldiers please enter the waiting room that has been prepared in advance" said chairman Taken gave orders after all teams finished determining their captain.
After all the teams had been in the waiting room chairman Taken had officially started the team-mate determination round, but until 30 minutes passed no one wanted to advance and become the first challenger.
"Well it's been thirty minutes, so far no one wants to challenge another team captain to replace their teammate" Taken said calmly, then turned to the waiting room no 2 filled by the team while the two captained by Dragon.
Dragon nodded slightly to chairman Taken, then advanced forward and immediately threw a challenge to team seven captained by Aiden.
"It turns out that this was their plan, he wanted to show that this foolish brat was very powerful as the heir of the war god by challenging others to obtain members who were god successors." muttered Aiden understood the thoughts of the higher-ups of the 7 divisions.
"It looks like they are confident in the abilities of the god's successor, interesting." Aiden muttered back as he stepped into the battle arena accepting the Dragon's challenge.
When Aiden entered the arena he was immediately attacked by Dragon without any cue at all to make Aiden slashed right on his right chest, all participants immediately threw a protest to the referee, but the referee only smiled.
"Will the enemy wait for you to be ready before attacking?" ask the referee lightly without any burden at all.
"Of course not, stupid!" he said it with a shout as if reprimanding.
Hearing that makes all participants speechless and do not know what to say anymore, because it is true that the name of the enemy will not wait for you to be ready when fighting in any situation.
Ting! Aiden created an energy shield that was auraless to darkness, and launched a slash across downwards, but was held back by the Dragon with his bare hands that were auraless in the faint darkness.
"It turns out he's already mastered pure manipulation." murmured Aiden and retreated as far as possible and kept his distance.
"But still in the first stage, it's not a threat." Aiden's inner being slashed at the empty air.
The sling! Aiden unleashed an extremely powerful slash made of wind.
Note: the aura of darkness that is a manifestation of pure manipulation techniques will only appear in solid objects or the body of the user, he said, but it will not be seen if it is in the form of energy or energy attacks but the effect still remains the same as coated with pure manipulation.
"The dragon sword of fire!" dragon's shout slashed Aiden's energy slash and headed straight for Aiden with a kick.
Bang out!
"Ugh..," Aiden was blown away by Dragon's kick in his chest.
"Life-destroying driver." cried Dragon and a terrifying-looking lightning instantly struck Aiden who was coughing blood.
"Magic technique without spells, it was unexpected that this boy mastered magic techniques to a level without spells at this young age." Aiden muttered while looking at the lightning that a second later struck him.
