It has been two days since the incident at the C-ranked gate. Today was the first day of June, which meant they just entered a new month. But to Hal, it wasn't because it was a new month that made it special to him, no, it was because today was a special day for his little sister. Today was her birthday, and she was going to be 17 years of age; today, it was per the course that Hal had woken up extremely early today, to make preparations for the celebration of her birthday. As he stood, making meatballs by the slab in the kitchen, the lady of the day, his little sister came into the sitting room. As soon as she entered, she began sniffing around while rubbing her eyes from sleep. "Huh? What's this?" She asked groggily. "Happy birthday!" Hal excitedly shouted. "Huh?" Bethany was shocked and stood rooted to the spot. She couldn't believe her eyes, the whole room was decorated with birthday ribbons and balloons. Her brother Hal was even putting on a blue cone-shaped cap

Only after Jack was satisfied did he let him go. Davies took a step back after being released from the hands of whom he now considered a brutal weirdo. 'I mean why would anyone get so angry over such? All because I didn't know the name of an E-rank Hunter, an E-rank for god's sake!' He thought as he smoothened his clothes. "How am I to contact you when I do get the name, sir?" He asked. "Of course by collecting my contact!" Jack replied. "Here." He passed his contact card to Davies, who collected it, closed his case file, and hurriedly left with a bow. He and his car left as quickly as they came. As soon as he left, Jack looked in the direction of Hal, and as if by a magical connection, Hal also looked and their eyes met, and stayed locked for a moment, Hal smirked before walking up to him. "What do you want?" Jack asked as soon as he got close to him. "My reward as per the agreement of our deal," Hal said coolly. "Huh." Sir Jack grunted, but still brought out hi

As he was about to start talking, the dungeon started shaking, which indicated that the ten-minute lapse time had been completed, and it was now time for the return gate to appear. Explain yourself probably, now, or else I will put you down!" He increased his strength on the Katana, to put some action to his words. "Ok, sir. So as I was saying, I am an E-rank Hunter, or should I say was, as I have been reawakened!" "Huh? You were reawakened? Pfft!" It seemed like my story didn't appeal to Sir Jack, which meant I needed to add more spice to make it more appealing. "Well, the thing is, I just got reawakened a few weeks back during a raid with my squad that went wrong. You must have had it, right?" "No, I didn't!" Sir Jack was serious now and twisted his blades in a fast and weird way that sent his daggers flying, and quickly pointed the tip of the sword to his neck. "I don't have time for this, so you better give me a good reason not to drop you now." He said with a mean loo

Author's note: Sorry guys, there was a mix-up in the release of chapters 17 and 18. Readers are advised to read this chapter immediately after chapter 18, for a better clarification. Thanks for your understanding {^_°}. 'The exoskeleton looks pretty tough...can my dagger even damage it?' Quite obviously, a dagger would have a lesser effect on such a carapace than a longsword, which Hal used before. So, if he wanted to cause a deep wound, he needed to strengthen his attack. With that thought, he returned the dual-blade Mystic to his inventory and summoned the daggers he got from his fight against the boss monster of the rank D dungeon. Hal calmly summoned the 'Steel Talons of Kaisan Lycan.' Swish! It appeared in his hands like it had always been there. "Steel." That was what Hal chose to call the dagger. The reason why he chose to use this dagger was because it was of a higher class than Mystic, hence; it was more durable. Hal took deep breaths as he ran towards t

Sharp gazes Tense breaths Expectant hearts. The rest of the Hunters, who had also arrived, looked and held their breaths, in tense expectation of a fight that was supposed to be between an E-rank Hunter and a B-rank Hunter. But could Hal, the E-rank Hunter, actually be called one? Considering the level of skill he showed against the boss monster, which made him seem unfazed, fighting against Sir Jack was a B-rank Hunter with years of experience. But that wasn't true. Hal was thinking of how he was going to combat a B-rank Hunter with years of experience under the belt and proficient use of the Katana blades, with nothing but a pair of daggers. Hal's grip on his daggers tightened. The air between them was charged with something unspoken yet unmistakably dangerous. Sir Jack stood firm, katana still humming from the force of his swing, his eyes locked onto Hal like a predator sizing its prey. The breeze settled, but the weight of the moment did not. Hal’s heart pounded, not

The Hunters couldn't believe their eyes, as they watched the lone figure battle the monster. "Just who could that be?" They all thought. All members were accounted for, including the dead, so just who was that? But they never knew the so-called E-rank they brought in was the one fighting against a King tier monster. Even though they were watching from afar, those attacks were so ferocious they sent shivers down their spine. However, that man was effectively evading all the attacks and even seemed to have the upper hand, as he was getting closer to the monster and posing more threats to it. As everyone was wondering who that was, Sir Jack quickly made use of the eye lens piece attached to the helmet and zoomed in on the fight. "Huh!" He let out a gasp, not believing the face that showed in his lenses. It was that of the E-rank Hunter, he had hired. Jack felt his brain shut down for the slightest second, as he couldn't believe the smooth and efficient movements coming from
