Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

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.

The instructor smiled, "I can't tell this guy's rank, so you guys better pick one that convinces me." He replied, and the people who came in nodded.

Then they looked at Matt and nodded, "Good fight, kid. Before I give you a rank, confirm the type of fighter you are. Are you a monk? I could see that you don't have much experience in martial arts, but your attacks are tough; I fail to understand if you have practiced martial arts or not." Said one of the stronger ones who came in.

Matt shook his head, "I'm not a monk; I've only practiced a little martial arts. It's just that my weapon is being made, and I can't use other weapons because they won't let me fight properly. But I usually use a weapon like this." Matt said as he pulled out the weapon Gray Allen had given him.

"I can use almost any weapon, but I have more experience fighting with daggers like this." He replied.

His words surprised the instructors in front of him, 'He fights so well with fists, I thought he was a monk in the beginning stages of practicing martial arts... But a dagger user who can also fight with his fists? This guy is a genius.' They thought in shock but still nodded.

"Is it okay if we register you as an assassin? Since you use daggers and your attacks seem to have high penetrating power."

"If you register me as an assassin, that's fine; I specialize in that kind of attack."

"Perfect, then we'll register you as an assassin."

As they spoke, they walked out, heading towards the back of the arena. That part is where they were going to go through the final registration procedures.

Being a guild of hunters, they have a rank system to award their members, so that they can better distribute the guild's strength and know who the strongest are.

On this occasion, this guild uses a system that goes by two names, which Matt should be thankful for because they make him feel at home since they use the same rank system they used on Earth.

It goes from Low, Medium, High, Advanced, Superior, and Legendary. There are still others, but those are the main ones.

The other way of calling them is the one Matt is most familiar with: Rank E, D, C, B, A, and S.

This is how they are used on Earth, although there are other ranks above the S Rank, where they put the most powerful ones.

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.
