Rebirth of the Ruined Noble

Chapter 22 Mysteries Of The Unknown Artifact(1)

"Oh! The gun guy!" "huh?"

Gun guy? what the hell was that supposed to mean?

"Oh sorry! Everyone was saying that there is a attention seeker who chose a gun and were calling you as such that it came out unexpectedly"

This guy....he was as honest as ever!!

"Anyway, I am Evan"

He extended his had towards me with a kind smile.

Although I was a little annoyed, I knew there was no ill intention in his words and his heart was as pure a child's.

"Eren. Eren Pendragon"

I shook his hand firmly.

It was a hand filled with numerous scars and bruises, and had became thick and rough as result of his training.

Looking at him, I felt pity.

Evan D Shelden, also known as the monstrous devourer in my past life.

As grand as his name may seem, his life wasn't all that great.

The 'D' clan which raised him and his whole family, who were in charge of guarding the borders of Mauryan family, they where completely annihilated by the ambush of neighboring kingdom when he was 11.

Losing everything in a young age, Evan grew up alone without anyone to lean on.

In a way, he had suffered more than me.

Unlike me who now has the chance to save my family, Evan had already lost everything.

I don't know how he manages to keep himself sane and smile despite the terrible things happened to him.

It was a miracle that he was even able to survive till now.

No not just surviving, He was currently ranked 4th in the entrance exam, 3rd in male rankings, he was someone who could be compared to the best of best talents of Mauryan Empire.

Unlike me who had to pay the tuitions fee for the Academy, Evan was studying here in scholarship that he earned off his own hard work.

"So...you are here to train?"

He asked me looking at my fit body.

"Of course, but I want to check out something else today"

I don't know if it was due to genes or due to the light exercises I did daily, my body was very fit and healthy.

But I did not visit the training grounds for exercising.

Of course, I wanted to start training as soon as possible, after all I only had 4 years to stop the rampaging of fire dragon, Ugram. But I wanted to see where I stood currently, when compared to the monsters here.

As I resolved my thoughts, my eyes fell on the machine that was placed at the far end of the training facility.

'Let's see'

It was high end magical device that was created with the state of arts magic technology.

A special device that was created to accurately measure the power level of an individuals, especially the students whose power level is below certain limit.

As I walked towards the huge machine that took as much space as half of the room, Evan walked behind me.

"You want to tag along?"

"Do you mind?"

"Do as you wish."

I didn't have any problem with Evan watching me, first of all I would be obliviously weaker than him and more than that, I don't intend to hide myself in the academy.

I will stand out!

It was a must to attract the attention of the 7 towers.

The power of dragon is something that which a mere mortals couldn't comprehend, and I was damn sure that however much I may train, I will never be strong enough to fight against the dragon.

Then that left me with one choice - Receive help from others.

And except royals, the Towers were the only powerhouses of the Mauryan Empire, so I decided that it would be more advantageous for me if I join a tower and seek help from them.

'Now that I have decided to do it, I will aim to the strongest tower.'

The Tower of Wisdom, under the control of Sage of Wisdom, Lucus Traumen, the legendary mage of Mauryan empire.

It was also him who killed the fire dragon in my past life along with Duke Agnus. So I am sure that my plans would have more chance of success if I get into the Tower of Wisdom.

Anyway, that was the plans that I had for future, for now I will concentrate on the things at hand.

"You want to measure your star level?"

"Yes, will you give me a hand."

"Sure."

Evan didn't talk unnecessary things, which was also one of the reasons why liked him.

He helped with the equipment which needed to be equipped around my body.

A magic crystal of a high class monster was powering the device, which alone costed more than 100,000 gilds.

'Let's handle with care.'

Just the thought of damaging such expensing equipment gave me chills.

Shaking off the terrifying thoughts, I started the measurements.

The evaluation included the individual enter a enclosed space where numerous disks would come flying towards them arbitrarily. This test was done to test the reaction speed and agility of the individual.

It also included weight lifting and punching a certain machine which would display the strength of individual in numbers.

I entered the enclosed room.

There were numerous holes on all the sides of wall with markings of red to indicate each level.

As I stepped beyond the red line and before I knew it as disk came flying at the back of my head.

-Swush

I dodged it. No... to be more precise, my body dodged it.

But that wasn't the end as the disks came flying at me from different

'It's a little hard...'

I was able to sense the incoming disks and my brain reacted to it as well, but the problem was my body.

'It's not moving as I want.'

In my previous life I was a 4-star knight at my prime, my mind was still thinking me as such, so the instruction it gave was hard for my current body to follow.

Even then, I cleared level 1 with ease, I somehow managed to clear level 2 but after that, the trajectory of the disks were unpredictable and I failed the level.

"That was good."

Evan said as I came out.

"Most students wouldn't be able to clear level 2."

Looking at him a curiosity arose in me.

"What's your limit level?"

"let's see...I think I clear level-6 when I tried yesterday"

This guy....I didn't know if he was bragging or demotivating me.
