Catalyst System
Maturity Ceremony



In front of the Californium Forest, Veroa was making preparations to start the hunt.


Hunting system is done as usual, that participants should not use personal weapons, but choose the appropriate weapon on the weapon – weapons that have been provided.


Brother – his brother gives spirit from the audience place with his father and mother. Not only that, people – people who watched also gave a lively spirit.


Witnessing this, Veroa smiled, as she knew, they were good people. Only, his eldest brother, Rein was consumed by his selfish nature, so he spoiled everything for his ambition.


Before that, M. S., the Cruiser walked into the middle of the crowd. Then, he said out loud using the help of vibration type magic, namely Vibration Magic: Loudening Sound. He said, “Prince Veroa! Please stop for a moment. King Danmark, I'm a voice permit. For everything! Right now in the Californium Forest there are people who are planning to kill the Prince of Veroa


by setting up the Immortal Curse Formation: The Soul Revocation Curse. If the Prince is cursed, he will be disabled for life. Whoever carried out this plan, must be the closest person to the Prince. Because, that curse formation required a sample from the target. For that, I hope his cooperation from all of you. Finally, thanks for his attention” after he spoke like that, he passed away going into the forest ahead there to abolish the Immortal Curse Formation: Soul Revocation Curse.


After his departure, – people started to riot, talking about who the person who dared to try to kill the Prince of Veroa.


Moreover, his mother, she immediately ran towards Veroa and immediately hugged him tightly because it was too anxious to imagine the worst possibility if her son was exposed to the curse while saying, “Thank God, son, you still haven't gone into the woods. How would it be, if you were exposed to the curse..”.


His mother's words were cut off by his father, “Have a Love, don't say no. After all, Veroa was saved by Mr. M's warning. S., Cruiser. We should thank him and give him a reward worth”.


“That bill, Dad. I concur. It would be a pity if my genius brother is okay.” said his brother, Dizz approved of his father's speech.


As for someone, he seemed to be in disbelief at what had happened. He was Rein, the ambitious crown prince. It is too difficult to believe that his carefully crafted plan can be thwarted by M. S., Cruiser Van Rome. In fact, he said the Eternal Curse Formation: Soul Revocation Curse, it is difficult to be detected by anyone. But, in fact, that's beyond estimation.


Veroa, who knew it, just kept silent, ignoring it. He chose to keep it a secret from the public and planned to solve this problem behind the scenes. He will try to control the conditions, so that there is no division among his own family.


“Please Prince. Everything is safe and in control. The entire area of the Californium Forest I have planted Detection Formation: Detection Area. So, if there is something suspicious, I will immediately realize it and find out your location.”


Veroa nodded. Then, before leaving to begin the exam, he thanked M. S., Cruiser for what he's done. The test of maturity has now officially begun!


...


In the Californium Forest, the further in there, the darker the surroundings can be seen with normal eyes or the naked eye. That is because the soil or area under the branches – tree branches covered with dense foliage, so that only a little sunlight can penetrate to the lower area. Therefore, the level of danger and food ingredients that are safe for consumption are getting smaller. In a sense, food will only be obtained from animals, not from plants.


Plants need sunlight to photosynthesize. Thus, those that grow in the dense undergrowth area are overgrown by macroprotists that are similar to the characteristics of plants. It is very rare for this macroprotista to be safe for consumption.


Most of them are very toxic, but some are efficacious as medicinal ingredients are very rare.


And right now, Veroa is exploring in this dangerous place. It was not that he had the confidence to be able to survive, even he himself actually felt a little afraid. It's just, it's just,


as he was walking alone through the forest, a slightly transparent screen reappeared before him. On the screen this time, give the first task attached a gift, when he completes it. If it fails, there is compensation, that is, if a life-threatening condition, it will be transferred instantly to a safe place by the system.


The tasks given are as follows:


Level: E


Type: Challenge; Cannot be denied.


Location: Depth of Californium Forest.


Reward: [Optional]


Compensation: Deported to a safe place.


Every now and then, he was shocked by the rustling sound of the thickets. In fact, the environment around it today is indeed very creepy, more creepy than the haunted house that usually makes people – people run away in droves because they are frightened by mere surprises. From here he learned about the importance of mental strength to deal with all the conditions faced. So, he made this exam a self-training as well.


Note: In fact, this is the reason the system delivers a dangerous first task.


Suddenly, a warning emerged from the system that a hunting target was being located around. Suddenly it made him surprised and wary around. The sword is ready to be cut, the arrow is ready to be launched. Moreover, the dagger hidden behind his clothes could attack the target with a critical attack.


Moving slowly, trying not to make a sound, because the tiger type animal is very


sensitive to sound. Not to forget anyway, he set his breath to do the pull and exhale to a minimum. His heart rate is getting weaker, the calm he unknowingly gets in this condition. He was also aware of it, yet he chose to remain focused on hearing and feeling the target's movements.


Slowly but surely, the silence was interrupted by the sound of a small leg from the target. When he looked from behind the roots of a large tree, it turned out that the panther had managed to pounce on its prey perfectly.


“Gold chance!” he said in a heart of excitement. With a very high concentration, he pulled the bowstring slowly. The arrow is ready to be released.


At this time, the falling leaves in the wind looked like they were slowing down, the sound of – a very small sound was clearly heard by his eardrums. Flies, mosquitoes, crickets, all of a sudden he can visualize in his imagination, as if he were looking at them with his own eyes.


Then, at the right time to launch his arrow, Veroa released the bowstring he was holding. Well, strangely, there was no sound of friction between the bowstring and the arrow with the wind, so the arrow stuck right on the neck near his ear which is a weakness of the tiger-type beast. So, once the release of the arrow, the task was immediately completed.


“Ding-dong!”


The system screen immediately appears after the target is declared lifeless. “Congratulation!” it was a word that appeared for the first, immediately followed by another screen that brought up a selection of gifts that one could choose from.


There are four options, all of the same type, which is about skill choice. But, uh,


that skill choice is still a common skill choice, like cooking skills, not yet conical. Among those four options, fighting skills, forging, sports and homework, he chose forging skills for now.


After he touched the screen showing the reward of forging skill, all the system screens disappeared and were replaced with new ones, that is, the result of the selected reward. As it turned out, he had to go back to choosing a more specific gift that referred to forging skills.
