Ren's here. When I reached the next trial site, I was greeted by large grassland. There were few stone pillars and remains of stone buildings here and there. I took few steps forward and looked at my surroundings. The entrance of this place I had gotten out from was like an entrance of a subway back in my previous world.

"Oh, you're finally here."

A mature lady's voice came from a shadow of a pillar. A woman around her twenties who I have never seen before walked out naturally. She was a woman with around 167 cm tall, and slim figure. She had fair skin, pointy ears, and dark green wavy shoulder length hair. She was wearing tight white T-shirt with parka and hot pants.

"Umm... who might you be?"

I asked her.

"Me? I'm one of your testers, Boy."

She said.

"Umm... Isn't the ones who supposed to test me are the ones I had seen before?"

I said.

"Ah, she got tired of waiting and switched with me. The other one is also got bored and left. His replacement should be here soon."

She said.

"What a whimsical personality..."

I sighed.

"That is well... We're dragons after all."

She said. At that time, I tensed up. So far, I was facing the trials for my human aspect except for the Hero part. I prepared my stance reflexively but seeing my stance, she just laughed.

"There's no need to be that tense!! We won't do any physical jobs after all."

She said while waving his palm in front of his face.

"Eh? We won't?"

I said dumbfounded.

"If we do, you won't last 10 second in that form. Or perhaps you're an M?"

She asked jokingly.

"OF COURSE NOT!!"

I retorted.

"Etto, I guess he's bit late, that slowpoke."

She said as she looked into the distance. She scratched her head.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself have I? I am Oliver. A Saint Dragon Emperor Oliver Hearth is the common folk called me."

She said with easygoing manner.

"Saint Dragon Emperor? That was quite amazing race you have there."

I praised.

"Well, thanks for the praise. But, I'm bit disappointed that you're surprised about my race instead of my name."

She said disappointed.

"Etto, sorry I didn't read much about dragon's history."

I said.

"I saved the humanity you know. It's strange if my name didn't appear in the folktales!!"

She complained.

"Don't blame me for that!! I really don't know!!"

I cried.

"YOU GUYS ARE NOISY!! I can't get any sleep at all."

A third voice came from the entrance. We both turned toward the entrance and saw a male with messy gray hair was walking out from the entrance. He was wearing black T-shirt and gray trousers. At a single glance he looked like a good for nothing youth of my previous world.

"Ah, so you're that woman's replacement huh?"

Oliver said.

"Yeah, I can't refuse especially when that hag asked me."

He said while scratching his head lazily.

"But, how come you pop out from that entrance?"

She asked.

"Ah, met with the previous tester on my way here but when I arrived this boy has yet to arrive so I decided to pick him up to quicken things but when I saw that deserted town I felt sleepy during the search and as the result, you can see yourself."

He said with tired looking face.

"Umm... Who might this person be?"

I asked Oliver.

"Ah, this person is Deet. He's a Divine Mirage Chaos Emperor Dragon. His race is unique and contradictive like yours and seems strong but this guy is nothing but lazy person who always do nothing but sleeping. Ah, he's also can be said your predecessor as a Demon Lord."

Oliver said.

"Eh?!!"

I was surprised.

"You should add Candidate on that. After all, I died before I chose an authority."

Deet added.

"Ah, that's right."

Oliver said.

"That aside, let's starts your trial already."

Deet said while yawning.

"That might be the best. This child doesn't have much time after all."

Oliver said while looking at me.

"What do you mean by doesn't have much time?"

I inquired. Oliver glanced at Deet.

"You're going to die if you can't clear this trial within 3 days in this world's time."

He said.

"3 days..."

I was at lost.

"Don't worry, this won't be a physical test but a mental one. All you have to do is withstand our mental attacks."

Oliver said.

"Is that so? Then, please start the trial."

I said.

"The trial is simple. You just have to find both of us inside my mirage. We will change location every 2 hours."

Deet explained.

"I understand."

I said. Deet smirked and leaped away. Oliver also kicked the ground below her. A moment later, Bright light came from Deet. I closed my eyes for a moment. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in Shibuya scenery.

"Eh?"

I leaked a dumbfounded sound.
