Simon and Ivan left the manager's office and went to the second floor to complete the formalities.
Ivan was more stressed and was complaining.
"Man, now there is an exam. I thought life would be set after becoming an Astral Lord, stress free but now I am having more stress than attending entrance exam."
"Don't stress out, I've checked beforehand. The training we undergo when initially awaken our ability is the fastest.
As long as we practice hard enough, we can become a 1-Star Lord before the assessment exam then we will have no problem."
Simon comforted Ivan.
Astral Lords have different levels strength and naturally, there is level system, a hierarchy of strength.
Newly awakened Astral lord would be 0-Star Lord, the weakest of them all.
Strongest being 9-Star Lord.
As they climb the levels, every time they grow stronger the strength becomes more and more heaven-defying.
When they cross 6-Star and become a 7-Star Lord, they can freely fly in the world like birds.
Once they reach 9-Star they would become the pinnacle of strength, having the power turn the world to ruin.
Making them no different from the gods and demons from old stories.
Beyond 9-Star was unknown.
"I hope I can pass the test smoothly. I don't want to be fired. If that happens, I will become a laughing stock."
Both of them chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at the Employed management Hall on the fifth floor, settled the formalities.
Simon and Ivan got their Employee IDs and set of keys with brief introduction.
"Simon, where to next?"
Looking down at the keys, Ivan and Simon were excited with childish smile on their faces.
"Straight to our new villa."
"Let's go!"
Villa that the company had arranged for them was located at the river top residences area, not too far from the company building which was convenient for work.
They rushed to directly to the river top Residence and after showing their IDs to the guards and entered residential area.
Residences area was high-end. The distance between villas were surprisingly large, and the greenery in the area was also incredibly.
Plus, all of the villas were three stories.
A million-dollar villas that had everything from swimming pool, to big kitchen and more.
"This is more like a place that a person should live in, where the hell were we even living in?"
"Brother, are you really comparing that low-rent housing and high-end residential area?"
"Your right, I'm an idiot"
"Our unit is C-04 and C-03"
Two of them soon arrived at unit C-04. The villa was surrounded by 8-feet tall iron fence and behind the it was an eastern-style.
Ivan said to himself, "Can I really live in that villa? Simon, am I dreaming? Will I lose everything when I wake up"
SLAP!
"Simon, what the hell?"
"To wake you up from you're dream."
After they completing touring the villa that afternoon, both of them went home directly and decided to move in right away.
Upon witnessing the high-end villa, they did not want to live in the low-rent housing community for another single moment.
The next day, Simon and Ivan arrived at the office and they were taken to the training area. There were 10 other newcomers as well.
"I am Ethan Valor, and I'm your trainer!"
Instructor Ethan Valor was wearing a tank top and military pants that revealed his powerful muscles.
"For next six months, I will train you throughout the rookie stage.
During this training, I hope that everyone will learn harder, and practice harder. Strictly follow training under my order."
"So, let's start"
"First, Lets learn about the Astral technique!"
"The Astral technique is of great value to us Astral lords. A low-level technique will increase the efficiency of absorbing astral energy by 10 times!"
"An intermediate-level technique 100 time more effective!
While an advanced technique becomes 1,000 time!
From this, we can see how great the effect of Astral technique is to us Astral Lords.
And this is why it is one of the precious things in all Astral companies and unless you are one of us you will never be able to learn it."
Simon and other 11 where listening to it.
"The low-level Astral technique I'll be teaching all of you is the planet breathing technique…"
In the following hours, Simon and the rest started to study them.
When they learned about the technique, how to control their own skill and also learned about skill as well as the Dreadbeasts.
Which made their schedule for their daily course was extremely tight, and life was very fulfilling.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
Simon was absorbing the Astral energy as usual. He had to say that the Astral technique's effect was immediate.
Before absorbing Astral energy from environment without the technique was like drinking water using a straw.
Enough but not fulfilling.
Now he felt like drinking straight from the pipe.
The efficiency was 10 times higher, and Astral energy absorbed was completely different.
After two months of absorption, the Astral energy in his body was highest in two months.
"Simon, we're off work, let go eat."
Someone patted him on the shoulder. Simon opened his eyes and looked at the young man, behind him he saw Tyler his new colleague that he was friend with, but his was baffled by what he saw.
"What's wrong?"
When he saw the strange way Simon was looking at Tyler. Ivan asked him suspiciously.
"Nothing!"
Siomn shook his head, but he was overjoyed because he was able to copy again.
Name:Tyler Everest
Race: Human
Astral Skill: Aerial (Awakened, Replicate)
"Finally, I can replicate again!"
Simon was excited.
Over the past two months he was unable to copy which got him worried.
He had thought that he might not able to copy ever again.
"Thank goodness!
It's been two months since the last replicated, so the cooldown of my skill should be two months?"
Simon's mind was running over timing trying understand more about his skill.
"Now that it's off cooldown which skill should I copy?"
While War God had many Astral Lords, he only had contact with his trainer Ethan Valor and other 10 newcomers except Ivan.
And he knew all their skills.
Trainer Ethan had Reinforced Muscles…
Tyler Everest had Aerial…
Zach Stonefield had Earth Manipulation…
Dylan Forgewel had Water Manipulation…
Adam Swiftwell had Fire Manipulation…
