After saving that kid, I held back home and enjoy the rest of the time with my family until my mom ask "Arata, your exams are next week did you prepared. Do you think you can win with this zero level! But i believe in my child, he will make me proud"
I live with my mom cause, my dad left me when I was little saying that, he doesn't want a weak child. Mom took care of me and raise me alone. That's why I can't let her down.
Next day at school: I went inside my classroom, my classmate all grown to Level 20, I am still stuck at 0. My stats, as I look at my stats there are grown. I have the highest stats in everything but still as I said "Levels are the numbers which decides your value."
Suddenly Mrs Valet our homeroom teacher enter and announced "Okay class, everyone sit down. As you all heard next week are your exams so be prepared. This time thr marking will be on the bases of strength, agility and skills. Nothing else, now let's start the class"
After that, the class goes on. My partner his name was Taiju Madarame, he was my bestfriend "Oi Arata, why this long face did something happen" I thought did he pretend to be my friend or is he actually, i replied "Yes everything is fine, just getting bored of seeing this zero on screen!" I sign but then he said something I'll never forget
"Arata, it's not about your level, it's about your Hardwork, when i first saw you back in third grade, you never back down from a quest and always try your best to achieve it. Maybe you are on zero but for me your are above than 20" He then gave me his dumbo grin! Then i realized. I won't get a better friend than him!
1 week later: Today is our exam, I am very nervous like we all used too before exam. I enter the exam hall and the next thing I saw was extremely terrifying!
What Arata saw? Read in the next chapter!
