Sword Rankers
The Monsters

Central City (6)

After the events of [Monster Attack], the world decided to unite. Boundaries between the worlds were abolished, as many places were destroyed by the Monster invasion so it was difficult to determine the boundaries of each country and at the same time to make it easier to travel and ship goods during reconstruction.

Even so, there is still a clear division to facilitate government. Therefore, each country on one continent, united into one great country by abolishing every state boundary.

Then, the unified continent divided its territory into large districts led by the district chief. And make the central region its center.

Ran lived on the continent that used to be called the [European] continent. Ran lives in district 79 of the 83 districts.

District 79 is a bad district as a result of irresponsible government. Therefore, the existence of Michael who is the son of an influential person in Central City is very surprising.

Only a little Hyper from District 79 could become a Ranker, so at least, during these 10 years, there were only less than 10 Hyper people from district 79 who could become Rankers. And that too, not all of them survived long into Rankers, half of whom had died or retired due to the influence of the Gate Monsters.

And at this time, Ran stood right in front of the Ranker Exam building in Central City (6).

As an ordinary Hyper, the feelings Ran got were already very clear and predictable.

Nervous!

Wh-How's this? I've arrived after coming all the way from District 79, but why am I so nervous like this? What's going back? But it takes 4 days to return to District 79. Unfortunately, it costs too.

Ran looked at the exam building in fear, his legs trembling and unable to move.

"Enter or not? It is a pity that if you are not self-durin, it is difficult to take online tests until you pass and leave here for 4 days. It's a pity to go straight home." Ran muttered alone.

"Dam! Don't just sit in front of the building!"

Suddenly someone shouted at Ran, heading from behind so that Ran naturally turned his head to look for the source of the sound.

From the gate, a middle-aged man whom Ran met early entered.

Once again, the man shouted, "Don't just shut up, just go in."

The man continued to shout as he ran towards Ran, "Don't block the entrance, if you don't want to enter, just go home there!"

"Ehhh...?" Ran fell silent on the spot at a loss as to what to do.

The man was getting closer towards Ran.

The man's face grew clearer, looking irritated, annoyed and impatient.

Until the man arrived right in front of Ran.

"You going in or not!? Don't just stay here! If you don't want to go in, go in there!" Shouted the man while pointing at Ran.

Duh, I already knew that this guy was grumpy when I saw him at the gate. But I didn't expect him to get like this.

Ran retreated step by step, moving away from the man.

"Wanna get in? Get in fast!!!" The man scolded Ran once again.

Ran who could not stand it anymore immediately turned around and ran into the building. "Ma-Sorry! Excuse me first!" Ran shouted while running away from the man.

The man sighed, and muttered softly "Hufft, you young man. They're less guts."

Inside the building.

There are a lot of participants coming.

Without being told, Ran already knew that they were all, very strong.

Crazy one! What kind of pressure is this? I feel like I'm a louse if I'm among these people.

Ran walked slowly among the Hyper who felt stronger than him.

Ran checked the watch in his hand, "It's still 7:54. The next 6 minutes are just about to start."

Ran looked at the inside of the building closely, and he felt that something was strange.

This building has the same shape as the building that often appears in the Middle Ages. It was almost empty, without any advanced equipment or anything. The only thing that was striking was the large stage that was in the middle of the room. It was as if this stage was made in order to attract the attention of everyone.

For the size of the building that Hyper's test stands for, isn't this too simple? And again, the atmosphere inside this building was too ancient. Like the medieval atmosphere I've seen before.

Ran grew increasingly curious about this place and started to wander around. He was so focused that he ignored the Hyper who had become his worry.

Brucks

While being focused on seeing the contents of the building, Ran accidentally hit something very hard.

Ran looked back, and what he hit was a human. The person had a body with a height of 2 meters, and was so muscular that it looked like a hill.

That person looked extremely annoyed despite only being hit a little.

Without Ba-Bi-Bu, the man immediately pulls Ran's collar and lifts her up to the same level as her, "Hoi! The right way dong! Which village is this you!?" Shouted the person in front of Ran's face.

Ran froze without being able to fight back in the least. Damn, the pressure he put out was almost equivalent to the pressure I felt when dealing with Farizi's supervisor. Inner Ran was frightened.

This person before him, was stronger than Michael who was the strongest student in his school. Just facing Michael's subordinates alone, Ran could not, let alone fight a person stronger than Michael himself.

When Ran could not do anything, suddenly there was someone who grabbed the hand of the big man who raised Ran.

"Huh?" Ran and the big man were compactly shocked at the man's hand.

And in an instant, the stranger who had just come, pressed the hand of the big man to lower Ran.

Huh huh? Who is this guy?

Ran and the big man were just as surprised, Ran looked at the person who saved him.

The man was a man of perfect proportions, tall and muscular despite being covered in his shirt, and if Ran didn't look wrong, he also had blue eyes. She has very beautiful blonde hair that is combed back. He wears a plain white shirt, black leather gloves and jet black trousers. He wore boots that almost covered his entire thigh.

The figure of the man, made Ran unable to prevent himself from being amazed at the man. Especially the pressure of the aura he emitted, was very strong, even much stronger than the big man who bullied Ran earlier.

While the big man, irritated and annoyed at the blonde man for being bullied.

"Curtain! Who the hell are you? Come here to disturb, want to be a hero here huh?" Shouted the big man furiously.

The blond man who was yelled at stood upright without any hesitation in front of the big man, he resolutely answered the big man's question, "Sorry for meddling in your affairs! But! In my opinion, if you guys have any problems, settle them quietly! According to the rules, all participants should not fight before the test starts!"

"Huh!? Who cares about the rules, after all I ask, who are you!? Don't act so pretentious!"

Hearing the big man's question, the blond man lowered his head slightly, "I apologize for my impoliteness, I have William Austin from district 4."

"A-What? William Austin?" The big man was very surprised.

Everyone who was around was as shocked as the big man.

Whahuh? William Austin's?

Is that William Austin?

The rumors are true.

I didn't think I could see it directly.

Everyone was whispering about this man named William Austin. Only Ran was confused about this man being talked about.

Whahuh? She who? very famous, huh? Uh...? Means I'm the only one who doesn't understand?

The big man who was initially shocked turned into an angry man for no reason, "Haa! So what if you're William Austin, huh? Just because you're William Austin doesn't mean you're better than me."

William Austin, the blond man who made a furore just by saying his name was standing straight without faltering. His eyes looked very confident, not the slightest trace of fear and doubt in those eyes.

William again said sternly, "I'm sorry, I'm not arrogant or pretentious, but I just want to stop the mess."

"Tck! I told you not to be strong!!!" Shouted the big man furiously.

Wusshhhhh

The big man used his ability, his right hand turned into iron, and instantly launched towards William.

Buuummm

A large impact occurred, the air wave followed right after the big impact occurred.

Wuush

The surrounding items were flying, the dust on the floor flying towards the people around.

Ran, who was closest to them, crashed far away along with the dust and sand around.

"Uhuk! Uhuk! Crazy, what's going on?" Ran coughed as a result of flying dust.

Ran looked at the scene of the confrontation between William Austin and the big grumpy man.

A dust screen covered around them, Ran could not see clearly what was happening.

It took a few seconds for the dust to disappear.

And the scenery that was behind it, was truly astounding for Ran.

William Austin, who was attacked suddenly, was completely unharmed.

In one hand, it was coated by a glittering iron armor, out of nowhere it appeared.

And that hand held the big man's fist. He had absolutely no difficulty in holding back that huge fist that was thrown all of a sudden.

Krrtt... Krrtt....

The sound of iron clashing, emitting a voice that made an agitation.

Damnit damnit! What the fuck is this? Then all the rumors about him were true, I couldn't pull my hand at all.

William pushed the big man bit by bit.

"Ukhhh.....?"

The big man was pushed to his knees, he who was originally standing straight like a mountain and looking down on William, was now kneeling until their gazes became level.

Glaree...

William looked at the big man in front of him with a piercing look, as if threatening the big man to give up. William, who had originally only been humbled without threatening, now turned threatening with the overwhelming power he possessed.

Glupe

Ran could only gulp at the sight of the super strong Hyper before him, The big man was undoubtedly, extremely strong. But, William Austin, he was, much stronger.

"Khhkkkp... Akhs! Alright-fine! I give up, I lose, please let me go."

The big man finally gave up, apologizing and begging to be let go.

William Austin displayed a relieved expression and took it off.

"Alright, please for the next one so you don't make a fuss anymore. I'd really appreciate that."

The big man could only throw his face and curse in his heart, Cih! Holy oomph.

However, the commotion made by William Austin, had invited another mess.

Glaree.....

Ran felt an extremely strong aura pressure from behind him.

"Oi!" A voice emerged from the crowd of people watching.

And from there, came a person who turned over the crowd. He is a boy, his age may be as good as Ran. But he looks very thin and unkempt with many wounds and clothes and hair that are disheveled and dirty. On his clothes there are many blackish stains that I don't know what it is.

The boy came casually as if not afraid at all. He scratched his hair while yawning wide.

Then, the boy looked towards William and the big man, then he, smiled..

Syutt...

The boy jumped very high and fast, then immediately slid like a cannonball towards the big man who was kneeling.

Buumm...

The skinny boy directly hit the big man with his feet on the floor, the marble floor below him was instantly shattered to make a hole.

The skinny boy stood on top of the big man while smiling horribly. He turned his head towards William and with a smile he said, "Well! Whoa! You must be the famous William Austin, right?"

"Yes! And what do you want!?" William replied in an angry tone.

"Don't be fierce, I'm just curious about you who are so famous. Hehehe" said the boy while chuckling.

"Then!? You want to fight!?"

"Oh!? You understand the looks! Come here if you understand."

"I'm sorry, but I have to reject it."

"Curtain! Come onl... Don't be so ka.ku!" The skinny boy spoke while jumping, and in that very short hovering time, he twisted his body and kicked William.

Brakkkk

William who was attacked suddenly only had time to put restrain with his hands.

Sraaakkkkk

William was pushed a few meters away by an impromptu attack.

"So that guy, don't be so stiff know!" The skinny boy immediately advanced almost at the same time as the push of William Austin.

The skinny boy did not give any pause for William, he immediately launched a series of attacks.

Buk up! Buk up! Buk up! Buk up! Buk up! Buk up! Buk up!

The skinny boy slid his fist towards William, William only surviving using his hand that was lined with iron armor.

"Come on! Comeing! Don't just defend, attack dong too! Don't make this boring!" Shouted the boy.

William saw the gap in his attack, he did not waste the gap.

William relinquished his defensive position, he took the gap of his opponent's attack, and then he launched his fist.

Bmmmmmmmm

The skinny boy was hit by William's fist right on his face, he was pushed to the floor until the floor was destroyed.

William thought this matter was over, but, his opponent simply smiled.

"This dong, it just feels exciting, hahahahah." The skinny boy laughed while lying down.

William looked at her with a look of caution, he took a few steps back to keep his distance.

Then, the skinny boy stood up with a stagger, he wiped the blood from his nose. And smile with satisfaction.

William set up standby position.

Then...

Syuuttt

The skinny boy disappeared again and appeared right in front of William.

William was very surprised at his speed, Very fast.

Tubs!

The skinny boy launched a punch, William was already in a ready position, different from the previous one.

But....

William remained thrown for his punch, and this time he was thrown further.

William was so shocked by the child's attack, More powerful than ever before?

"God!" The skinny boy chuckled.

William realizes that his opponent is not an ordinary Hyper that he can fight against.

Verse...

Both of them instantly moved just as fast, in an instant the distance between them disappeared to face each other.

Buccancy

Both hit, but only William managed to hit his opponent.

Fresh blood splashed from the skinny boy's mouth. But, let alone retreat, the skinny child was even more excited.

Tub

Buccancy

Buccancy

Tub

William and the skinny boy continued to exchange blows, but only the skinny child continued to be hit by attacks.

William managed to dodge all the attacks that led to him.

Around them was already flowing a lot of fresh blood.

But, with such severe injuries, William's opponent did not back down at all. And instead of weakening, it is getting faster.

Who her? The longer the attack the faster and harder it is to avoid

And William's feeling was right, this skinny kid who was his opponent, the longer, he got stronger.

When they exchanged blows again, this time William failed to hit his opponent, and from his blind spot, his opponent attacked.

Buccancy

William was bounced from the attack. From his nose and mouth, blood came out.

Everyone around was shocked to see this sight.

William was attacked?

Who is that kid really?

Will William lose?

The skinny child who was his opponent, chuckled happily, "Heheheh, how does it feel? Come on, you can do more than this, right?"

William wiped the blood on his nose, he had no intention of giving up, "Of course, I won't lose to someone like you"

William took this more seriously, his aura pressure was increasing.

And it seemed, his opponent had also still not expended all of his abilities.

Ran who had seen their fight, felt creeps in fear, they had not used their special abilities, but the pressure of the aura they exuded, matched Farizi's supervisor, They are Monsters.
