10 Chapter 10
Hunting and selling the loot became a daily routine of Aaron. Though the items obtained are exchanged for a very little amount of credits, they are still adding extra to the pocket. Being a hunter is costly and every credit earned or that can be saved is required in this life.
After hunting through the dungeon for a total of twenty days, he had only crossed level-4 and was on his way to level-5. The amount he gained totaled forty thousand credits. This isn't much but sufficient for a normal household to survive for a month, without any extravagances.

Aaron decided to keep the attribute points and not distribute them for now. The dungeons aren't much of a challenge for him with his stats. Moreover, he felt problematic with the sudden rise of attributes.
At first, he cursed the school teachers for not teaching the side effects but later realized that everyone would rise an attribute by one point or at a maximum of five points for every rise in their level.
This wouldn't change much and they could familiarize themselves easily. He on the other hand had increased attributes by ten per level and it is not one but all attributes. This caused his body a bit out of control.
So for now he decided to let things be.
Adding the first two days and the twenty days, he has left with only eight days before the test happens. He wanted to take a rest on the day before the test, which leaves only seven days to hunt.
He decided to go to experience dungeons for these seven days. From what he learned, for one to get a seat in top academies, they should have reached level-12 or above before the test.
This won't guarantee a seat but academies do love talent but also hard work. Talent without hard work is considered the worst.
To reach level-12 in thirty days is no ordinary feat. It requires a lot of work and also a good talent.
Of course, the test would be the major factor in the decision-making of selecting the students but it isn't the only factor.
Aaron had already decided that he would better his circumstances but wouldn't involve in anything problematic. He already wasted a lot of time, which others usually spent on increasing their levels.
For a spot in a good academy, he needed to at least cross level-10 or everything goes down the drain. The next seven days would solely be spent in the experience dungeons and increase his level.
After leaving the dungeon, Aaron went home as usual, had dinner with his family, and took a rest.
The next day he did what he did on the first two days. This routine continued for seven days and he finally reached level-10.
Reaching level-10 gave him an extra 300 APs and 120 SPs. He left the previous accumulated SPs but had spent 39 APs making all attributes reach 50.

When he did that he felt some kind of change in him but the status window didn't show any anomaly.
He took the last day off, patiently waiting for the next day to take the test.

Mary finally did it. Even with the help given by the leaders of the alliance, it took a long time. She finally reached level-20 after hunting continuously for twenty-five days.
After she returned from the dungeon run, she met with the principal of her school and the mayor of the city.
"Mary, tomorrow night you'll be on your way to the capital. Make sure you have a good rest", the principal spoke.
"What about my parents?" Mary asked.
"They'll be going with you. They'll be set up with a small business in the city per their request. Though it would take some time before the documents come through", answered the principal.
"Don't worry about the permit documents Mary. The higher-ups know how valuable you are. This would be a small thing for them. You should rest though. Don't do anything tomorrow, only rest", the mayor said.
"Yes, rest well Mary. Once you reached the capital, it would be hectic for you."
Mary understood what they meant. First, she needs to pass the trial for Rank-1. After that, they would send her through the dungeons as much as they can.
Commoners and low-level officials have no idea what is happening across the world.
A new god for humanity is needed to curb the rising chaos or else...
