Okay. First of all read the FAQs. Look for it on the left hand toolbar. Now look at this person's bio. See if they have more than one Final Test. Chances are they do. So while you may still have the same level, he's pretty much reset his level. A final test is what you did to become a senior student. There's not a story, you just level up, do a final test and start over at level 1. Now since your gonna ask how you get more HP, events in the forest will give you more. Also, use the edit button instead of triple posting, people don't like it .-. I dunno why but since your just starting this kind of game, i'd reccomend you start with a faster paced one. Legend of bleach is a bit slower (you'll probably get bored until you find something you want like shikai) and is fairly new. I'd reccomend you start with shinobilegends. It's a bit faster and easier then legend of bleach is at first and all the stuff you can get is pretty interesting and there's more people. The links on the homepage of Legend of bleach under the partner games tab. Progress in the game is really just getting a higher rank and new stuff.
