Zeil arrived at the reception with the Ygdrain's. He learned a lot of their culture and where they came from. True to their ancestries the Ygdrains were born on the planet at the core of the solar system. In other words. The seed that birthed Yggdrasil in the beginning. It was known in their native tongue as 'Valkai vittai' known to all in the universe in common as Seed of life. It was famous for as long as the seed existed the planets around the seed would continue to be nourished by Yggdrasil .
Yggdrasil itself was unusual because unlike a normal plant. In which the seed would split, and the roots would burrow into the earth for nourishment. Yggdrasil at the moment of birth ascended the dimension it was born into and cut itself off from the birth seed. Perhaps it was a moment of consciousness from Yggdrasil's intelligence, but it preserved the seed and burrowed its roots into alternative dimensions.
At the moment of its birth several dimensions ceased to exist. At the time, many civilisations thought that the universe would collapse. However, what Yggdrasil in avertedly did was stabilise its birth dimension. Unlike Zeil's former lives, space wasn't and still isn't infinite in this universe. Its neighbouring dimensions were expanding too quickly, and the life force of the universe was depleting from starvation.
The birth of Yggdrasil created a guardian for its birth dimension and allowed its home dimension to attain more sustenance. But in turn it increased hostilities with beings from alternate dimensions.
The Ygdrain's were a source of respect and hatred from a multitude of races. Their relationship with Yggdrasil made them a respected race in their birth dimension. However, outside of their home dimension many beings sought to destroy them.
For Ygdrains leaving their home dimension were a source of respect. Because it was the difference between being treated as a youngling and being treated as an elder. In the Ygdrain's Civilisation all elders had the power and the abilities to destroy continents at the minimum. This was because in leaving their home dimension there was an assurance of entering war with the hostile races. Those who survived at minimum when they came back were strong enough to ascend to the ranks of Elder's.
Draje told Zeil that he and Gloi chose the path of the hunter to train themselves for leaving their dimension. He never specified to Zeil how many elders that his race had. However, he quickly told Zeil there was no race that existed in their home dimension that could withstand the Ygdrains at full force. In fact, he quickly added that they were a contender for one of the top 50 races in strength in all known dimensions. And Yggdrasil itself was known to be in the top 30 beings that existed in the greater multiverse.
While contemplating these knew found facts
The proctor from before showed up and he addressed the group "you're all here on time. Good. Now that your all hunters. You deserve at least a modicum of respect. So, you have earned the right to know my name"
He paused and then his presence grew larger and his eyes started to glow
"My name is Rogre of the Kalai tribe. I am a 2 star iridium hunter also known as high rank to the civilians outside. I was given the epithet 'the titans axe'"
He dropped his axe and said
"and I don't need to tell you why"
He then relaxed and his presence reduced
"the proficiency test that you just did. Tested your stamina and your basic combat abilities. Now as a hunter you will pick a monster or beast from your id cards and hunt it down within a time limit. As new hunters, I'm not expecting much."
He then paused and took a breath "However, remember regardless of how fast you kill the monster. The quality of the corpse is an integral part of the test. If you do not bring the monster back within the time limit excluding monsters above my stage. Your beginning rank will be capped to bronze, 3 star"
He pointed at the receptionist
"Once you give the receptionist your cards. Your class proficiency test will immediately begin. As Beginners you will be teleported to a vicinity of 100km around the target. It's up to you do the rest"
He then turned and began walking away. Suddenly he stopped and he turned around
" I forgot something"
He grinned and then said
"your cards have a sort of life saving system that can be used once every 3 months so If you're in a bind say the words 'Vēṭṭaiyāṭi' and it will immediately cancel your test and teleport you back to the guild."
"There's more info inside your cards on the consequences of doing that"
He then turned around and walked away one last time.
Here you go
before anyone begins to complain
