"Alright everyone, the Rankings were decided after a lot of discussions and are based on how strong their skill is and their effectiveness against Monsters, so even if you lost, if you have a strong skill then your ranking will be higher"

As the Instructor started speaking everyone stopped talking,

"The First place will receive a C-grade weapon of his choice and 10 healing and 5 Berserk pills"

"The Second place will receive a C-grade weapon of his choice and 7 healing and 3 Berserk pills"

"The Third place will receive a C-grade weapon of his choice and 5 healing and 2 Berserk pills"

"Fourth to Tenth place will receive a D-grade weapon of their choice and 3 healing and 1 Berserk pill"

"Eleventh place to twentieth will receive E-grade weapon of their choice and 2 healing pills, and no Berserk pill"

"Twentyfirst to the last place will receive F-grade weapon of their choice and 1 healing and no Berserk pill"

The whole class was in an uproar, The rewards were so great that they were left speechless. You should know that leaving the weapons aside, the recipes of healing and the even rarer Berserk pill were monopolized by the military and MHA Headquarters.

Even though most of them were from influential families they had rarely taken healing and Berserk pills. Even the Li Brother and Sister were shocked even though they were from one of the Biggest families in China, they had only used 1 healing pill per month but here they were even able to get 10 healing pills in a month if they took first place.

Only now did they realize the immense power and influence of Monster Hunter Academy, In front of them, all the major powers in the world were but mere ants.

Martin was also a bit surprised, all though he had no idea what these pills were he could sense a powerful life force from the green-colored pill and the red pill was also radiating Berserk energy.

"Although most of you may know, I go over it once, The healing pill is created by advanced technology and rare materials from the Monster Region. It is able to instantly heal wounds and recover fatigue. Although its effect diminishes as your strength grows and has very little effect on C-grade hunters, It is a life-saving pill for those below C-grade Hunters. You guys will be using this pill the most when you need to train for a long time and get injured in battle. The Beserk pill is used in Life and Death situations and Ranking Battles. It can boost your strength significantly but you will enter a weakened state for 4 hours minimum based on how strong your body is, so only use it when you are in the Academy and real life and death situations."

Martin walked to the Instructor and received two bottles, one containing 10 green pills and the other containing 5 red pills.

After coming back to his seat he opened the bottle and popped a healing pill in his mouth.

The students sitting around him were speechless and looked at him with envy,

Martin saw their reaction and smiled to himself and thought

'Is this the life of the rich?'

The pill quickly dissolved into his mouth and the aching in his bones started subsiding, he felt full of power and it seemed as if a weight was lifted from his back.

After all the students received their share the Instructor moved on to give pointers to everyone about how to use their skills more effectively and his advice was always spot on. Which his help a lot of students improved their technique.

Martin also gained a lot from this. Although he knew MMA he did not have much life and death battle experience like Instructor Kodiak. As one of the best B-grade Hunters in the world, he had immense battle experience and his pointers helped Martin a lot.

After class, everyone did their own training, Martin left with Bruno and headed towards the Trainer center,

The training center was empty as the 2nd and 3rd-year students were on vacation and would only arrive 2 months later. There were all sorts of equipment inside but Martin did not use any and did some bodyweight exercises.

Days went by and 2 months passed quickly,

...

"Big Brother the seniors are back!"

Martin was shirtless and was doing a handstand with a single hand, when he heard Martin he jumped up on one hand and landed on his feet.

"Oh? come let's go see them then"

...

In the arena, the whole of Class 1-A was present surrounding a Burly looking Youth with a Scar on his face and a Broad Sword on his shoulder they all had angry expression on their face when they looked at him,

But, the Burly youth did not seem to care and had a mocking expression on his face as he looked at the figure kneeling on the ground

"Hahaha! is this all the #2 in the freshman year amounts to??"

Asahi: You!

Asahi spat out blood and had an indignant expression on his face.

Behind the Burly Youth, 6 students who looked like they were burnt pretty badly wore joyous expressions on their faces and looked at Asahi like hungry wolves.

Suddenly,

"Oi Oi Oi are you for real?"

The burly youth frowned when he heard that voice,

"A senior bullying a junior? So cliche man!"

Ishida: It's Martin!

The students of Class 1-A looked like they found their savior and their faces lit up in joy,

"Finally, Martin's here"

"Id like to see how he can act so arrogant now that Martins here"
