Next Day.

Suddenly, a loud voice appeared in the village.

It was the same loud voice that had happened once before.

''Chosen Ones!'' The voice rang far away, all the way to the island's outer edge.

''Gather at the bottom of the mountain for the next test!'' The voice was loud enough to cause massive headaches and piercing pain in the ears, but the voice and the pain disappeared mysteriously after those words.

On a bedroom of a simple-looking building.

Two naked figures were hugging each other while in a deep sleep.

Their naked bodies sharing bodily warmth, with four nipples touching each other.

''Ugh'' Ichiro groggily opened his eyes and rubbed his painful earlobes.

In front of him, naked Azura was also about to wake up, with visible pain on her face, which soon subdued.

''Damn'' Ichiro sat up with his upper body naked and lower half covered in a blanket.

A ringing sound was still echoing in his ears, which wasn't disappearing no matter what he did.

''Yawn'' A yawn escaped Ichiro's mouth, and with hazy vision, he grabbed pants and shirt from the floor.

He clumsily started wearing the clothes while having slight difficulties buttoning his pants.

''Where are you going'' Azura asked with a tired voice while slowly opening her eyelids.

''Another test'' Ichiro replied with a similar sleepy tone. He stood up from the bed and finished buttoning the pants.

Azura sleepily nodded and stood up with her naked body visible.

Without a care in the world, she left the bedroom and went to the bathroom to do her mourning routines.

Ichiro, with sluggish movements, grabbed his sunglasses and put them over his eyes. From the window, a shiny light was piercing through the curtains.

The sun's light was reflecting from his skin, making him feel warmth and laziness.

Soon, Azura returned, her previous sleeping face long gone, and feeling much more awake.

She appeared in front of Ichiro and slammed her lips on his, and once they separated their lips, she went to the wardrobe to get new pair of clothes.

Ichiro scratched his messy hair and left the bedroom.

He stumbled couple more meters before finding his shoes.

Once his shoes were properly on his feet, he went to the front door and opened it.

He was about to leave the building, but then with sleepy eyes, he noticed three figures standing outside the building.

They were three young women, Zoe, Luna, and Aurora.

Zoe's face was serious, her usual playfulness long gone.

Luna's face was pale, and her eyes had zero focus on them.

Aurora's face looked angry with trembling lips.

''What's up?'' Ichiro asked.

The three young women flinched after the sudden appearance of Ichiro.

Luna's eyes had a tinge of hope but also felt conflicted.

Aurora opened her mouth, but no words came.

Zoe, on the other hand, said, ''We saw Avery.'' Once she said that name, her words were oozed with venom.

''Oh'' Ichiro saw their facial expressions and thought, 'He is indeed quite unpopular I wonder what that piece of shit did to them.' Do you want to read more chapters? Come to panda-novel,com

''Ichiro.'' Zoe's face was very serious, which also made Ichiro serious, ''Can you defeat Avery again?''

Ichiro raised his eyebrow and answered with confidence, ''I can.''

Luna's mouth was slightly curved, with almost worship visible in her eyes.

Zoe nodded, ''Good''

Ichiro left the building and watched as the three young women entered the building.

Once they entered, Ichiro closed the door and started walking in the already busy streets.

The voice woke everyone up, and many had faces of sleepiness and annoyance.

Few of the youth in the streets had a silver ring on their fingers.

Ichiro rubbed his eyes, and once he again opened them, his previous hazy vision had disappeared.

In the distance, he saw the worn-out temple, but since it was so early, he didn't want to go there just yet.

Ichiro took a detour and stopped in front of the coffee shop.

There, energetic disciples were working, while most of the customers looked very tired.

Ichiro appeared in front of the desk, and the disciples who saw him also noticed the ring.

''Coffee'' Ichiro said while another yawn escaped his mouth.

The disciples nodded and quickly gave him a smoking hot coffee.

The coffee was in a coffee cup; it was made from a special material that kept the coffee warm.

Once the cup touched Ichiro's lips, he felt a weird sensation traveling through his body but ignored it and gulped the coffee down.

Once he finished drinking, he paid for the coffee and left the building.

He continued his journey to the temple, and it didn't take him even five minutes to arrive there.

Once he was in the temple, it was completely empty while silhouettes were seen walking down the stairs, where everyone came from.

Ichiro left the temple and soon arrived on the stone stairways that led straight down.

Without further ado, he started slowly walking down.

Zoe, Luna, and Aurora were sitting in the living room, still waiting for Azura to appear.

Soon, the bedroom door opened, and Azura appeared in a t-shirt and shorts, outlining her curves nicely and also giving her a look of youthfulness and beauty.

Zoe, Luna, and Aurora had to admit that she was a natural beauty and felt self-conscious about themselves, even though they are a beauty of a different kind.

''Hey'' Azura sat down on the sofa with a tired tone, even though her face didn't show that she was tired.

''Mmm'' Zoe leaned closer to her and hugged Azura's slim waist.

''What's wrong..?'' Azura asked while sleepily patting Zoe's soft hair.

''We met a disgusting bastard on our way here'' Zoe murmured, ''Azura-chan, you should stay away from that dude. We need to preserve your innocence.''

Azura tilted her head in confusion, ''Who is that person?''

''A bastard called Avery.'' Zoe grimaced after mentioning that name, ''A disgusting pervert.''

''Oh.'' Azura nodded with understanding, ''Understood!''

''I wonder what the next test will be.'' Luna opened her mouth and wondered, ''Did you ladies notice it Avery had the silver ring on his finger.''

''What?!'' Zoe exclaimed, ''But he wasn't part of the test before!''

Luna shrugged and thought, 'I hope he dies But, he is like a cockroach.'
