You are sitting in the Awakening Center. Everybody next to you is nervous, and they all hope for a good hunter rank. You see quite a big crowd of scouts outside who are hoping to scout a potential S ranks. A Lady is shouting your name, and you're going to the awakening testing ground and hoping to get at least a C Rank.

After waiting for some time, it's finally your turn. You enter the arena, where you see three gates with different monsters guarding them. The gate on the left is guarded by Goblins and Green Orcs, while the one in the center has Red Orcs and Ice Goblins. Finally, the one on the right is guarded by Demons of various ranks. You're not sure which one to choose, so you decide to go with your instincts. You run towards the gate with Demons, feeling confident about your abilities.

You charge forward and begin fighting the Demon guardians. They put up quite a fight at first, but you manage to defeat them one by one. As you continue to slay more demons, their ranks become higher and higher. Eventually, you reach the end of the arena and face off against a powerful Orc Lord, who is clearly an S-rank Demon.

With all your strength, you engage in a fierce battle with him. His attacks are fast and powerful, but you manage to dodge most of them using your agility.

As the battle reaches its climax, you unleash a powerful fire breath at the Orc Lord. The attack lands squarely on his chest, burning him badly. Roaring in pain, he stumbles backwards and falls to the ground, defeated! You emerge victorious from the arena, your heart racing with excitement and adrenaline.

You return to the center of the arena, feeling exhilarated by your victory. As you approach the Lady who called your name earlier, she looks at you with awe and surprise. "Congratulations!" she exclaims. "Your performance was outstanding! You've proven yourself worthy of an A-rank hunter status."

She hands you a certificate confirming your new rank, as well as a small pouch filled with coins and some shiny looking items.

The Lady smiles warmly at you. "Yes, we've taken into account not only your battle against the Orc Lord but also your previous fights against other monsters guarding the gates. You showed great potential and skill throughout the entire test."

She pats you on the shoulder in a gesture of congratulations before turning to address the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our new A-rank hunter: Natsu!"

The Lady's expression turns slightly sour at your bold statement. "I trust that you are not belittling the efforts of others who have achieved their rank through hard work and dedication," she says sternly. "Your confidence is admirable, but remember to maintain humility as well."

The crowd chuckles at your correction, and the tension in the air begins to ease. You accept their praise with a modest nod, still feeling proud of your accomplishment. As you look around at all the other hunters who have come to witness your victory, you can't help but feel excited for what lies ahead - more monsters to slay and ranks to achieve.

With your new A-rank status and the rewards you've earned today, you know that the possibilities are endless.

The crowd falls silent for a moment as they process your words. Then, slowly but surely, murmurs of agreement begin to spread through the gathering. Some hunters nod in understanding and appreciation, while others exchange knowing glances. The Lady's expression remains stern, however, as she clears her throat loudly.

"Well then, Natsu," she says firmly. "Since you've made such a bold claim and proved yourself capable of handling such powerful enemies... perhaps it is time for you to make use of your new A-rank status."
