The day before the Examination Battle starts, Yuri was about to get out to get out of the academy to hunt down some more stronger beast or if he is lucky with his enough time, he will once again find some cave and raid it even though his wounds hadn't fully healed yet.
He heard a voice of a girl, a familiar that it gets his attention as he turn his head up and then slowly turn his eyes to his back, while still his body faces the front.
"Hey...! Wait up!" The voice says.
"..."
He didn't say anything as the girl was behind him, with a smile on her face and a lot of students, boys and girls looked at her. They seemed amazed while looking at her walk towards the direction of Yuri.
"Hey is that..."
"Yeah! That's her for sure!"
"She's so pretty....."
She is the same girl that Yuri wants to see and ask a question, does she know that one of her butler had come to him I'm order to kill him?
If so, why does she show her face Infront of him just when she knew that he was still alive.
"..." He didn't say anything though he pretty much knows that he should not ask that kind of question here, when a lot of people was looking at them.
"Did you know that there is gonna be a battle exam? It is gonna happen tomorrow and the result is gonna be shown about a few hours from now!"
"They say that they are gonna pick five students from the great class from the first years and on the same class but from the fourth years!"
Aila explainer as they walk outside the building.
She was just wearing a white dress and a dark blue top to cover it, she has a necklace that was made out of gold but not pure. Her dress has a few gems on it, showing that she is from a noble family.
They can pretty much wear anything in the academy as long as it is not revealing or that will make others uncomfortable. As long as it looks like it is comfortable to wear and looks decent, it will be okay. It also needs to cover like your whole body except for the head, neck and hands.
The only way for the others to know that they are a student from the logos academy is a badge that they are wearing on their chest. It looks like a shape of a shield.
There are three colours of the badge they are wearing on they're chest:
The first is the Golden Badge, it was for the students that was in the Great Class. It was just like a shape of a shield but has a wings like design on the both upper sides.
The second is the Silver Badge, it was for the students that was in the Average Class. It has the same shape but the design is different, it has a sword that looks like it stabbed it from the top right and then the sharp end of it gets to the down left of it.
The last is the Bronze Badge, it was for the Low Class. Just like the two, it was just at the shape of shield and it has no design.
"By the way, I'm sorry for what happened last two weeks ago. I didn't get the chance to pay for what I done because you already left so please, this time allows me to."
The girls says, as they both already got out of the academy. The outside looks so busy. a lot of carriage was passing by, the people are talking as they walk and some are shouting the things or foods they sell.
"No need. Where is that guy by the way? The one that... Nevermind."
He was about to ask where the guy that tried to kill him, his name was Josh but he forgot his name so he just continues to walk and step aside the things he was thinking of asking.
He was kind of busy about the things he currently needed to do in order to be more stronger. He doesn't know what to do anymore in order to get stronger.
Getting back and forth from outside the city in order to kill some more beast and then get back here again is kind of tiring even though it is giving him experience.
He can't continue to keep on doing this and think of a way to be able to live inside the kingdom and then get stronger by killing others at the same time.
"Wh-- oh! You mean Josh? We don't know yet because the day after we met you, he was gone."
"A few butlers and maids leave our household for some reason but they leave one or two at a time for the past two weeks."
He didn't get shock based on the face he was showing, it was expressionless as always and he didn't seem too lively to talk to someone.
But he was confused.
If she didn't know that Josh just tried to kill him, then who? Is it just him and non others because it was personal grudge?
Also, why are the maids and some of the butlers leave their household?
"If you are still angry about him, please forgive him. I am gonna talk to Jim if we ever find him again." She says.
"Don't."
The last words that came out of Yuri's mouth as he walked more quicker in order to left Aila.
"Oh wait!"
She tried to follow him but then changes her mind as she saw two of her maids and her butler shouted her name from the distance, behind them is a carriage with two horses on the front that was pulling it.
"Lady Aila!" She hears from the distance.
They managed to get to her after only a few seconds and as she waves from them with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Yuri was already away from the city, walking on the road that was just made our of soil.
On his way inside the forest, he felt the presence of people following him.
'...'
He continues the pace of his walking, not that fast yet not too slow. He was trying to make sure if he was really being followed or if it was just him thinking about it.
After a few more minutes of walking, he was now certain that he really is being followed. He stopped on walking and the. Faced the other direction of the way he was walking on.
"Come out now." He says.
After a few seconds, the sounds of the brunches of the trees suddenly become more and more loud as if someone is stepping unto it and then just leave in an instant.
And then, six armed guys has circled him. Three Infront and then three on the back, he was outnumbered and then fixed his posture.
"Hehe..... Your sword seems valuable."
"You ready to die, pretty boy?!"
"Heh--"
Before the third guy managed to say something else, Yuri cut off his head. A lot of blood came out of it as that bandit's body fall off to the ground.
"Shit!"
"Mirko!"
"Fuck! This guy killed Mirko!"
"You are going to pay!!!!!"
All of the remaining five guys jumped towards Yuri as they all shout and attacked him with their weapons.

After a while, Yuri was already walking off to the forest and reached his cabin. He placed the bag full of gold coins in it. To be precise, it was atleast 1000 golds.
He also gets a magic item, it was a ring that has a emerald looking thing in it. He was already wearing it after he defeat or let's just say...
He killed all of them.
He takes their bodies and then cut off their arms and legs, all of the weapons they have is either axe or sickle.
About 4 of them has sickle and the other two has axe.
Using the sickle, he stabbed their throats and then pulled it all the way down to their private parts, causing for their abdomen to get on up and thrown their organs to the ground and fall of.
The heart, large and small intestines were already damaged as the sickle that runs through their bodies hit it.
He then just let all the claw lions eat their bodies and killed some of those beast that tried to kill him.
The weapons he used in order to kill the claw lions that attacked him were the axe he got from those bandits.
"Huff... Huff..."
He was exhausted and injured, he gets overconfident because he thinks that he got stronger which is true but he let his guard down.
The bandits managed to hit him on the shoulder but that was it and he raised his guard.
The only reason he killed them brutally is because of that very one reason.
"Though..... This ring is pretty good..... Thanks to those criminals I got this.... Wait....."
He paused, as he was looking at his middle finger where he put the ring, a thing has come to his minds when he said the word:
"Criminals? I think I just got an idea....."
