3RD POV

On a forestry Island full of monsters and the unknown, a flash of light appeared and disappeared leaving behind a group of humans stranded on the lowest level of the island. The island looked like a tower with an all-round steps that grew smaller as u reached the tip. Apart from its forestry features nothing about it sounded unique. But what they didn't know was that, the island was known as, The Island of Monsters. And they are about to receive the shock of their lives.

Satoshi's POV

" What's going on?". A guy with brown, spiky hair and wearing a black and blank tank-top with jeans and some cool Jordan shoes asked. Others were also looking around and wondering where we were. We were at the bottom of an unknown island, that we do know. But our surroundings looked weirder. It looks like we are at a temple. We saw an altar with a statue of Buddha on it and candles and incense lit around it. There were red pillars around us, and a symbol of two dragons battling each other. One looked like a raging lion dragon as its teeth are aimed at a more calm looking dragon. Though it looks like a spirit instead. I thought. Davian walked closer to me from the left and Kuro also appeared from the right.

"This is a telepad and a large one at that. This must need some high level of energy to run it". Davian said seriously, looking at the dragons skeptically.

"I heard of it. It's a new technology that was made using cosmic energy right". I said proudly.

"It seems you are not acient after all" he said jokingly then his expression changed to that of worry. I knew and understood his next question. As I was thinking the same thing. Kuro had stopped sucking on Lollipop and listened carefully.

" Where..."Davian started. I shook my head, cutting him off also showing my confusion. Kuro just stared and shrugged, enjoying his red lollipop again. I was always jealous of how Koru kept his cool even with times like this.

******Flashback*****.

"Welcome to Araski Academy". Yuna said smiling brightly. As if being controlled by an invisible force we then start to clap without knowing why. Kuro and a few others didn't clap. She then narrowed her eyes looking around the stadium.

"Ehhh, it seems there are a few strong ones". She said as she smiled changing her cuteness-filled face to that of a monster, leaking a bit of her aura.

"Since you are all back to your senses, I think it's about time the enrollment test began". She paused looking intently at everyone.

"If you don't have balls to attend this school please leave" she said with a calmness but sharpness in her eyes. It felt like she was telling us if we left she would cut us down, as her hand was on the hilt of her sword. No one dared as they didn't want to end up like red-haired unconscious down there or even worse I gulped feeling the intensity.

"That's more like it". She smiled synically.

"Okay then show me what u have got". She said removing the short, normal looking swordfrom it's scabbard and stabbed it into the ground. Golden symbols begin to appear on the sword. The a large symbol appeared below the whole auditorium. It was a large  symbol like a word in a different Language mesmerizing me and everyone in the auditorium.

"Mesmerized by a measly rune like this. PTFFFS! Amateurs." I heard a voice say. But then again it was my first time seeing it. The symbol continued to spin and grew brighter until there was absolutely nothing but light.

****Now*****

"Argghhhh!!!" A shout is heard as people begin to scatter from a point. We then look for the reason for the disturbance and we find out that the reason is the red-haired Yuna beat had woken up. It seems like they healed him up and sent him here unconscious.

(Such ruthless people.) I thought .

"Alright!!" A voice echoed cheerfully. It sounded like Yuna's voice. We looked around searching for the source, but, we saw no source of sound like speakers et cetera. But we didn't drop our gaurd.

"Don't worry. I am using a technique that allows you send messages through energy waves to the brain. Sort of like telepathy. ". She paused waiting for us to take in the information." So, you guys may be wondering where you are. But some of you may have figured it out already. It's the infamous MOM, Also known as Mount Hanju or you may know it as The Mountain of Monsters." As she relayed that information I shuddered as chills ran down my spine.

"The entrance test is simple just fight ur way towards the monsters and make it to the top of the mountain where there is a Temple. A telepad is located in the temple. Once you teleport using the temple, you pass the test.".

"Hey! If this is the Mountain of Monsters, does that mean the school is accountable for any mishaps?" The red-haired guy asked. "It seems you do have some brains behind the muscle" Yuna said, causing veins to appear on his forehead.

"There is a small telepad located on ur right hand, if u get critically damaged, u get sent back to the school and u will be disqualified. Hunters aren't allowed to fight until u leave the lower temple. Also, PvP IS ALLOWED SO, HAVE A GOOD TIME!!!.". We no longer heard Yuna's voice.

"I am forming a guild right here and now. Join me and if u don't. Don't cross my path or I will crush you. " A blonde haired guy said. He looked beautiful but he had this arrogant and smug look on his face. He wore a white official shirt and white trouser and a white shoe that only noble can get. He also wore a white coat on his shoulders. He smiled tossing his hair. But when he smiled his aura dispersed. His aura felt like a psychopath who will kill you for the fun of it.

"I know him. He's the Genius Hunter son of Park Jon soon, the minister of defence." A stranger said.

"Yh. I remember now we went to the same school he's quite famous" another one said. As the conversation grew loser more people started converging on him. As I was going Kuro placed his hands on my shoulders and shook his head.

( Y) I thought (Buht Kuro's sense are always right).

"Huhhh" I sighed. " Let's go". I said as we faded into the forest. Other small groups didn't follow the genius hunter and astarted to move on their own. But my senses told me they aren't normal. We then faded into the forest and start running at full Speed.

****Timeskip*****

"It's night time" I said. This is the best place to rest pointing at the mountainous cave in front of us. Right now we are at a sight Advantage that will allow us to see our surroundings. The cave was also covered by leaves and trees around, which made it a good hiding spot. We then set out fire and ravage through the food packs we found lying around. It seems they left the food package lying around. For us to find. But when we looked inside we saw one loaf of bread and a letter water pouch.

" Are they training us to be monsters or what" Davian asked as he looked at the food dejected. I sighed.

(I miss mum's cooking). I thought.

I then bit the Bread but it was too hard, so, I sucked it until the bread became soft to chew. Kuro just bit straight through like it was nothing but I understand. After all none of us have gone through a sliver of what he went through. Davian just throws his bread out of the cave and grunts in frustration. Kuro turned his head to the entrance of the cave and stared intently at it. I then follow his trail. Sensing people it was only small I felt but, it felt like an army. Davian looked between us in ignorance.

"What's going on?". He asked turning his face to where we were looking. We then hear a couple of footsteps. At each step the pressure weighed us down.

"Well, well, bro What do you say?. Look what we found here".

"Well, well bro". A male voice echoed as the sound of footsteps got closer and louder. " Look... What.... We.... Got..... Here". The voice sounded closer and louder buh this time we saw two silhouettes, one looked normal, buh the other voice which I judge to be source of the voice looked different the silhouette that seems to be the source had a golden heavy aura around it. Each step he took increase the pressure on us.

"Hiyaa!" The source of voice stepped into the light giving a light nochalant wave.

"Urghhh". Another more depressing and gruffy voice sounded behind the former in lazy disgust. The source of the gruffy voice looked exactly like the dude who gave us the rude greeting. I realized they where twins. They both had Yellow spiky hair with a strand of hair falling on the formers face, the latter who looked more like the lazy type had half hos hair covering one eye whilst the other glowed unnaturally. Both strangers had brown eyes, the former had a rather cocky smile as he wore he wore black biker jeans and jackets with chains on the jeans with black combact boots. He looked like the all exclusive version of a movie of a flaming skeleton man who rides bikes. The latter wore a normal ash shirt that said [I AM LAZY] in crimson and an ash colored shorts with whitish Jordan shoes. I wyrily smiled in my head, thinking that he would get along with Damien. The biker jeans guy looked at us in shock and amazement as he saw how on guard we where.

"You don't need to worry just passing by for a rest" he said with a light chuckle, as he approached us each step weighing us down. He then sat by the fire, and stared into the flames ignoring our existences the other twin who looked like an express example of a NEET slept next to him and look at the roof of the cave.

" I am Arato Rime" The more active looking twin said calmly, reducing the hot tension in the air. " The Lazy guy near me is Ishiki Rime" he looks at the guy sleeping on the floor lazily, lying beside him accusingly .

"I am not Lazy. I just like to reserve my strength for the more worthy opponents" Ishiki said in a sleepy tone.

" Oi!....oi!... I told u that excuse doesn't work anymore" Arato said In annoyed tone, veins appearing on his forehead.

Now the mood was light and the previous tension that was there was no more.

(Do they always do this). I, Kuro and Davian thought simultaneously.

" So what are your names?" Arato said in a passive tone.

" I am Sato, the nerd-looking guy there is Davian, and the white-haired kid is Kuro" I said smirking at our introductions. Kuro and Davian where looking at me with hateful eyes, just then I felt electricity run down my spine. Arato then left out an ear piercing laugh.

" Is this guy always this noisy?" Davian asked in a whispering tone.

"Yes" Ishiki replied again this time more perked up.

"Noisy" Kuro said in a rather childish tone. Arato then smiled dryly at the cold remarks he was receiving.

" Any way do you guys know of Raijin?" Arato asked his eyes having a sinister glint.

“Raijin?”, Davian sat cross-legged and looked at the roof as if trying to remember it. He then started mumbling some few things. Before opening his eyes wide in realization.

“ I remember now we spoke of it during history class, ”he said.

“You remember?”. He asked staring intensely at Kuro and I, waiting for our reply. I then turned my face in embarrassment and Kuro turned to the right. Arato smiled at our reactions and laughed out loud. Ishiki sighed shaking his head.

“Raijin is the power of the universe, or should I say the rule of the universe.” Arato said as he started sparkling, little twinkling stars all around him.

(What’s with the glasses) we thought simultaneously as we saw him straightening the glasses on his face.

“The rule of the universe?, Isn’t that the universal rule that allows everyone to access their abilities?” Davian asked as he held onto Arato with excitement. Arato gave a nervous smile with veins bulging on his forehead.

“ Yes. U are right. It is. But what people don’t know is that our abilities align with our soul’s abilities and the core of our very existence. It shows our true nature. I am sure you are familiar with the term Yukai”.Arato Explained looking at us, as Davian was upside down with smoke arising from his head. Arato then nodded, shaking his fists and continued.

“Yes. It’s the symbol that one has contacted the Raijin and it’s source. The usual or normal rating of the Yukai starts with The Diseased or Deficient also known as tier 1. Tier 1 the weakest manifestation of the Raijin is the symbol of rings. This allows one to have a large amount of Raijin in the body. But it’s effects are adverse. It means u won’t be able to practice fighting techniques due to imbalance of the body. The cause either the body being weaker due to its Inability to contain the large amount of Raijin in it or the body is excessively strong but no Raijin is found in it. Those with Tier 1 manifestations are also called Weak heroes as a more humane term. Then we have tier 2 manifestations also known as the Mark of Beginnings. It is classified as The Mark of Beginnings because those who are tier 2 manifestations are classified as normal and tier 1 being Deficient. Unlike Tier 1 manifests Tier two manifests are people who have average soul force, basically average or normal people. There are a select few who manage to upset this balance training to surpass their limit. The current president of America Jason Brunt Is a tier two manifest, but, he’s known to have trained no stop for 20 years without stepping out of his home. He’s know as strong as any expert Tier 5 but, I heard he’s a special case. No one really knows the full story. But I do know that research has proved that Manifestations can't be changed they are sort of like talents. but they can be improved. But that is a topic for another time, considering you pass the test” Arato paused looking at us shrugging.

" You sound like you guys have already passed". Davian said. Arato snorted ignoring him. Actually Davian and Arato participated mainly with the conversation the rest we just sat there in our individual positions listening on.

“ A tier 3 manifestation is known as Ascended. Tier 3’s are slightly better than 2nd tiers. Tier 3 manifestations have access to access the Ryouken.” Arato said raising his finger, and nodding his head.

“The Ryouken?” Davian cocked his head In confusion “ Never heard of that "

“Yes. That’s because it was hidden by the government.” Arato said nodding. “ The government didn’t want normal people finding out of our cultivation techniques therefore it hid the fact that the difference between normal humans and the ascended humans are by far a huge margin. That’s their best way of monopolizing strong and talented people. Of course there are exceptions for tier 2s like The President who trained to be strong enough to go against tier 5 experts.

“No way” I gasped.

Davian nodded his head. And continued “ Not to get sidetracked, back to the main topic, the Ryouken……”

He then turned his head sharply. We then looked in the direction he was facing. We then heard growls and roars. Coming closer. Arato then stood up smiling wryly.

“ Guys, we have company ”Arato said as he looked back at us, his eyes glowing a very noticeable tint of hue.
