The sports hall was quiet, except for the sounds of two men sparring. Klaus and Justin faced each other, their eyes locked in concentration. Klaus held a small rubber ball the size of a walnut kernel, while Justin's hands crackled with ice and wind. Justin launched a flurry of ice shards at Klaus, who stood calmly in place. Klaus watched the shards approach him, then flicked his wrist, sending the rubber ball flying. The ball collided with the ice shards, deflecting them harmlessly to the…-

While Klaus and Anna were chatting, the group of women in elegant clothes walked into the room. All sorts of luxurious items were attached to their bodies; pearl necklaces, fur coats, and even diamond rings on their ten fingers. An exotic-skinned woman clad in a black dress made a small run towards Anna, her two massive breasts bounced as she drew close to Anna. "Julia!" Anna exclaimed. "Anna darling!" Those two women seemed close, like friends who had not seen each other for a long time. As they…

New York was always hustling and bustling, and Central Park was the only place for people around to recover from the stress and terror of monsters. Somewhere in the park where giant stone monuments and green grass flourish, a group of movie crews were filming. Several 4k cameras zoomed in on a pink-haired man and a beautiful woman. Klaus monitored the filming process from a distance until they finished a scene. When the director shouted "cut", the crew and actors dispersed to take a break. The actor…

The atmosphere became tense. "I'm already old. I may not live long enough. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of leaving LR Enterprise to the wrong person." Bitterness was all over their faces. They silently squeezed their hands under the table. The old man's words were enough to make his offspring feel disappointed. They may have inherited blood from Robert, but the only thing that he loved as a child was LR Enterprise. Building a company was like raising a child. Robert had to devote…

In the airplane cabin for first-class passengers, a flight attendant was serving dishes to two men in a row of seats. One was a middle-aged man with a neat hairdo and the other was a handsome young man with emerald green eyes. Klaus had no appetite though a plate of steak with black pepper sauce was set before him. Steve knew that something was bothering his son. "You are with me, but your mind is not here. You've been like this since you returned from the certification exam. Is something…

Klaus had completed the final test, and he was just waiting for the results. He didn't know what role he would get, but he knew he would pass. Defeating an awakener in a single attack was not something to be underestimated. "Klaus, you've finished your test, right? Are you coming home with me or are you stopping by somewhere? I have a business, so I can't stay here too long." "I think I'll stay here until the results of the third test come out, and watch them." Anna nodded as she pursed her lips.…

Anna looked sour. She was in a bad mood after finding out that the arcanas she had brought were useless for Klaus to complete the third test. Even the bodyguards kept their distance from the blonde woman to avoid her anger, especially Luis. The bodyguards were first-generation awakeners, they had never undergone certification tests. So they didn't know that the certification test rules prohibited the participant from using arcana. If they had known, they would have told Anna. Klaus was silent, he knew…

The space inside the gymnasium was so vast that it could accommodate 60 arenas, with each arena having an area of 1,000 square feet in an octagonal shape. It was quite crowded, with hardly any empty arenas, and there were even several awakeners waiting in line to take turns using it. Despite the closed and crowded room, the air in the venue remained cool. The staff had provided a special arena for the awakeners certification test takers. Klaus headed to the west side of the venue where the test was…

Finally, Klaus returned to the Branch Office of Awakener Association in Manhattan. The atmosphere was still the same; crowded, busy, and hectic. However, this time it was different. Klaus no longer had to sit for hours waiting for his turn, because the second test was an exam. The participants underwent the test in groups. He and forty-nine other uncertified awakeners sat in a room filled with rows of tables and chairs. The atmosphere was tense. Everyone in this room looked nervous; some people were…

The sound of waves crashing onto the shore could be heard. Natural light filled the room, streaming in through the large windows and illuminating every corner of the space. Klaus in his bedroom, reading an ebook on his tablet, as the den had been sealed indefinitely. It's not like he could not sneak in, he just respected his mother's punishment. After a while, he put down his tablet and leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath of the fresh sea air. "Why did the angels appear now?" A week had…
