Chapter 54: The rank in which he was placed

The two powerful energies, a fist and a sword, struck each other in a tremendous collision. One of the figures flew away from the impact, leaving all who witnessed it in shock.

The explosion also injured the person who did not fly off, but the smile on his face evidenced that he was pleased with what he had seen this time.

'Hehe, looks like I won't have any problems if I face someone with a power level of 5,000.' Matt thought while breathing heavily.

The impact was tremendous; although it affected him internally, it was nothing serious.

Maybe it was because his bones and internal organs had withstood the force of a mighty devourer, but this attack wasn't that hard to resist, and he felt his bones were harder than before when he hit that giant sword.

The instructor in the distance struggled to his feet as he leaned on his sword and looked at Matt in shock.

"You're stronger than I thought, kid. This time, I lose." Said the instructor with a sheepish grin as he sat on the ground.

His huge body was wounded inside, and some bones were broken in the process when both attacks hit; still, he wasn't in a bad state either. After all, that attack wasn't meant to cripple him or anything.

'That pressure was pretty scary, how powerful this guy is.' He thought, breathing hard.

Matt smiled at him and nodded.

"The instructor's attack was hard to take, too. Thanks for the fight." Matt replied.

At the same time, several people entered the room, looking at the situation with surprise.

"Dude, how did you lose when you activated the guild's mechanisms? And you lost in a single attack." Said a man as he came to help the instructor up.

Thanks to that, Matt felt better. Being a hunter in another world and being given the same name as in his world gave him that feeling that he was going back through those days when he traveled from side to side with Charlotte, slaying monsters in the portals; days that are now far away for him, but that he still remembers with clarity and tenderness.

Matt thought for a long while, waiting for the instructors to provide his information as a member.

About two hours later, they finally emerged, being led out by the more powerful instructor, who was the one who had asked him the questions earlier.

"Hunter Matt, I hope to see more of you around. Remember, the quests are posted on the quest board; if you want to go on one, you know where to find them. You could also get groups if you go to the equivalent section in the guild. Here, you have a full explanation of the rules and also your new badge." He said as he handed him everything.

After that, he welcomed him to the guild.

'Oh, B-Rank? Not bad, this is pretty good stuff to start with.' Matt smiled as he saw the rank he had been placed in.

According to the rules, this is the maximum rank someone can get at the start, so starting from there was already pretty good.

"Thank you very much, instructors. I'll say goodbye then; I must return to the Academy." Matt said, smiling, and they nodded to him.

"That's right, the Second Academy battle is about to start, so get back there. Come here when you have time." They replied, waving goodbye to Matt.

Before heading back to the hotel, Matt researched the guild's existing missions and was surprised to see that there were missions he could buy that cost a lot of money. They were usually dangerous missions for their ranks, but they seemed to give a great reward if completed.

That surprised him a bit, but it was still a good thing because if he paid for a mission, all the corpses he got during the mission would belong to him. And that was one of the goals he came to this guild with: get Corpses.

Once he solved the guild registration issue, he felt calmer and returned to the hotel.

He spent a couple of days researching more about these cities and this world, and after that, he decided to go back to the Academy.
