"Thank you for helping me, Dreia," Captain Travis entered the monitoring room as a young woman was seated in front of the screens through which all of the candidates in the different examination rooms could be seen."You're welcome, Dad. I had some free time, and I don't mind helping you," Dreia replied, her attention still fixed on the screens.[ Name: Dreia - C-rank Hunter - Hellsing Guild]"Do they not give you any more missions?" Captain Travis asked, noticing Dreia's sigh."It's true that rifts are becoming a bit rare, even if the threat persists," Dreia responded, her voice tinged with disappointment. "I have the impression that all missions are assigned to a particular guild, even if there is another nearby capable of taking over the rift."Captain Travis pondered her words for a moment before sighing. "It's just an impression. Well, the test has begun. Do you have any impressions of the candidates?"Dreia scanned the screens, her gaze eventually falling on one particular screen
The forest in which the race was held was lush, with little space between the trees. The trails were narrow, and it looked like it had rained. Of course, it was artificial rain since it hadn't rained the day before. This place had been created especially for the occasion. This race felt like an obstacle course, and Fanel wondered what the real obstacle course would be like."They said the candidates can do whatever they want, the main thing is to cross the finish line in the top ten," Fanel thought to himself. He watched as the trees served as obstacles, throwing off the runners. "As I thought, no surveillance cameras. They leave us to our own devices," Fanel observed, smiling. He took a high jump, finding himself on a tree branch. Below him, the runners he had slowed down began to catch up.Sitting there, Fanel watched as each runner used trickery to hinder their competitors. "It's really unfortunate, humans are so self-centered," he remarked.The frontrunners of the race stopped to
The second round of the practical phase of the exam was about to begin. Unlike running in the forest, Fanel could not only feel cameras around him, but there were also multiple examiners. He understood it well; they were members of a special unit of the army. Fanel could understand the presence of so many people, and even Captain Travis was present, which denotes a concern for preservation. Qualified instructors were needed to supervise the event, give clear instructions, and ensure the safety of all participants.This should be their top priority during the course of this obstacle course. They have certainly analyzed that it would be more dangerous than leaving participants among themselves in the forest, each delivered to the malice of the others. Fanel sighed before focusing on the present. He thought he saw Jack and his gang being taken to the infirmary. And if he considers that no request for an explanation was made, then that was part of the test. Eliminate those least likely
Shun, the youngest swordsman in history, comes from an ancient family of swordsmen whose techniques are passed down jealously from generation to generation. Shun rose to the head of his family thanks to his prowess at the young age of 18. But he had already been talked about long before. From the age of 10, the whole world had already heard of the prowess of this genius, and of course, everyone expected him to become a hunter when the time came. However, at 15, he was not chosen by the God Hunter system. That did not prevent him from establishing a strong reputation that extends beyond ordinary mortals. Even hunters recognize him as a true prodigy of swordsmanship. Hunters who use swords in their fighting style pale in comparison to his dexterity. Despite being a mere human, his name is known to all, and his skill is legendary. Many even think that if he had become a hunter, he would, despite his young age, be an S-rank hunter, which is very rare for a hunter under 30 years old.Fan
If there is something that Fanel has never agreed to, it is people looking down on him. Even though he had to undergo this treatment every day, that didn't mean he liked it. So, now that he has the power and the means to no longer face this kind of situation, he is not going to let it happen anymore. He has chosen the shield, finding it to be the most effective weapon, especially for a novice martial artist like himself. Maybe he should delve into it since many hunters use weapons to fight.Fanel holds his shield as he sees Shun's mocking yet anticipatory gaze. "He must be thinking in his little head that he's going to crush me," Fanel thought as he established his strategy. It is simple anyway. Protect himself from Shun's sharp and undoubtedly dangerous attacks before attempting a direct frontal approach. It won't be easy because this brat has other tricks up his sleeve, but the goal here is to manage to unbalance him enough to be able to immobilize him. Why not give him a good pu
The audience was silent for a long time, unable to believe what they had witnessed. With a single punch that was hard-hitting and powerful, this guy who had come out of nowhere managed to knock out the man who was considered the equal of many even great hunters. Who was he, and why had they never heard of him?Dreai clenched her fists, staring at the screen with piercing eyes."I knew it. This guy is not normal, and I intend to reveal all his secrets." She turned, walking out of the control room, as she was no longer interested in the rest of the competition. She had other things to do, so she had no time to waste. Dreai called one of the exam judges to replace her at the control center, and she walked out of the exam center.Fanel stayed for a moment, feeling the heavy atmosphere around him. Indeed, he had already been declared the loser at the end of this fight. So, it's no surprise that everyone remains blissful at his unexpected victory. He just had an annoyed expression before wa
Fanel looked at Shun as if he were crazy. **Did I hit him a little too hard on the head and make him lose his mind?** Fanel thought as he backtracked. **I just hope it's not irreversible. This kind of madness can be permanent.**[Analysis: The system did not identify any psychological disorder in subject Shun.]"It was just a fleeting thought, don't take it seriously." [I was only trying to help relieve you of this feeling of guilt that was arising in you.]Fanel stared blankly at his system before refocusing on Shun. What was this absurd request? He was already so strong, and this was without having been touched by the God Hunter system. What kind of strength did he still want? Was he becoming too power-hungry? Fanel shook his head, deciding to leave. He had no time to waste with someone who was already recognized as the strongest among normal humans and wanted more than was necessary. It was ridiculous."Wait, where are you going? Aren't you being a little rude by turning your back
" SO?" A cold voice echoed in the dark as a young hunter kneeled before dark figures. "Don't worry. My mother has already put everything in place for me to inherit the title of clan leader. Once done, the Atori sword and the secrets of our techniques will be yours."The frontman smiled as he looked at the young hunter in front of him."Doesn't it matter to you to know that your mother is going to get rid of your big brother so coldly?"The man asked, looking amused, as the young hunter chuckled. "What? Me? Feel pity for such trash? Never. If it is true that when I was younger I admired him, when he failed or I succeeded, this respect disappeared. For me, he is only an insignificant and worthless being who tarnishes the name of the Atori."The young man spoke as the others chuckled."Furthermore, with your project, if he were still alive at that time, it is obvious that he would have become a slave like the others.""Indeed, well, go back to your family and keep me informed of everyt
Reinhard decided to stay away; even though he also wanted to get rid of the thorn in his side that was this new rift agent, he also preferred to avoid getting involved more than was reasonable - especially when he was convinced that the outcome of this fight would not be what Grayrat had planned. Slowly, not wanting to attract the attention of either Grayrat or Fanel, he took a few steps back, trying to leave the dungeon incognito. He was not going to ruin his future as a hunter for the selfish plans of this tyrant Grayrat. Since he had been obeying him, nothing had changed for him or the guild. They were still a third-tier guild and the laughingstock of the other guilds in the city. Reinhard thought, that if this new agent managed to improve their statistics, it would be a good thing and an excellent boost for his career. So he hoped, even without helping him, that Fanel would beat Grayrat's ass and bring him down from his pedestal.Fanel watched all of Reinhard's actions out of th
“Manager… watch out, a goblin!!” Eylat screamed at the top of her lungs, but Fanel remained motionless. The goblin lunged at him, its sharp claws thrust forward, growling menacingly. Fanel sighed, his face still lowered before shifting slightly to the side, dodging the goblin's attack at the same time, surprising both Eylat and the goblin with the ease of his gesture. In his momentum, the goblin found himself on the ground, head first grunting in pain before rolling on the ground to be able to regain his senses following the shock. But he didn't notice that there was a cliff behind Fanel and he fell onto it, screaming in terror. Eylat was stunned, still not believing it. Fanel had only dodged and yet he got rid of an intermediary monster and now he returned to his activities as if nothing had happened. "The danger is not yet over. Please concentrate, Miss Eylat" Fanel's calm voice pulled Eylat out of her torpor as she panted, noticing a goblin running towards her. "Oh, shit!
Fanel's gaze turned icy as the man holding him by the collar widened his eyes. " Eh?" He exclaimed as his expression turned pale. He retracted at a sudden aura around him. "I won't do anything to you if you let go of me in the next three seconds" Fanel's voice was low yet overwhelming and he let go of Fanel unconsciously as the latter fixed his clothing crumpled by the sudden movements of the man in front of him. The latter trembled, causing his body to freeze. There was an oppressive force that insinuated itself into every pore of his body and Fanel's dominant gaze sent shivers and twitches through his entire being. This one screams for danger. It was as if he had invisible tentacles around him that prevented him from moving and even breathing. He panted harder in hopes of getting his breathing back to normal, his expression pale and terrified as his daze soon alerted his cronies behind him. “Hey man, what’s wrong?” One asked, putting a hand on his shoulder. As a respon
Eylat followed Fanel outside the guild as the latter took his seat on the passenger side. “Y…you’ll let me drive your car?” Fanel huffed, technically, it was just a service car that the ministry allocated to him. So technically, whether it's him or someone else driving, the main thing is that the car shouldn't be damaged. In addition, being a service vehicle, they are not at risk of being stopped by road checkpoints so it does not matter if he leaves the wheel. “No, unless you don’t know how to drive,” he insinuated, but Eylat quickly responded. “No, of course not. I know how to drive very well. I even passed my license with flying colors and…” “If that is the case, we can go,” said Fanel, cutting Eylat off in her sentence. The latter nodded before sitting in the driver's seat and starting the car. While Fanel had a pile of documents in front of him, Eylat took the opportunity to observe him out of the corner of her eye without losing her attention on the road. This man was
The atmosphere in the guild was dark and silent. No one managed to work for a long time, everyone watched the newcomer with fear. No one could have imagined that Greyrat could lose to a hunter who was not of higher rank than him, but what was arguably pure was that he lost to a mere human: one of those he despises overall. It was an unparalleled humiliation for him and no one wanted to approach him, especially when he wore this black and hateful look sending a murderous aura around him. Reinhard kept giving him little glances, wondering if he should still carry out their plan. It's no longer like the beginning when their plan was hatched to intimidate this new agent into doing them favors in his report. The latter is tough and given the disconcerting ease with which he managed to beat Greyrat, Reinhard does not want to provoke him. But, certainly, Greyrat will not hear it that way. “Hey boss, do we still have to go according to plan?” One of Greyrat's minions spoke as the latter gla
A long silence invaded the entrance hall of the guild while Fanel, his face slightly lowered, stood in front of Greyrat, who looked at him with a contemptuous smile and a look that was intended to be belittling and condescending.He was looking to test him; the normal reaction of a person insulted like that would be to give in to anger and defend himself, but Fanel also knew that it would be detrimental to him to reveal himself like that. He wants to act incognito, so having to respond to Greyrat's insults won't be a good idea. So, breathing deeply, he tried to contain his anger and finally looked up at Greyrat.Fanel's gaze was filled with silent determination as he stood facing his former tormentor: this arrogant and hateful hunter. It's true, Fanel needs to calm down; this idiot is ignorant of his true identity, and he would give him too many favors by responding to his stupid provocations. Even if it reminds him of the unfortunate time when he was this bad guy's whipping boy, and
Fanel looked up at the man sitting arrogantly upstairs. As usual, he was installed in this private space, which was reserved only for him, eyeing the entire guild with his contemptuous and scrutinizing gaze. Installed as if it all belonged to him. Arms crossed behind the neck, legs on a table, leaning against an expensive sofa whose material is one of the finest in Arcus, it's said that it's made with a few barks of the most perfect wood that Arcus has to offer, Of course, given the rarity and preciousness of this wood, it is also prohibited to use it outside of the manufacturing process intended for it. But those in the black market, the market where everything can be sold, even humans, have managed to divert the primary use of this inva
Fanel parked in front of the Flawless Guild building. Nothing had changed; in short, it had only been a few months since he had disappeared, so he didn't imagine that there would be many changes. But still, he felt a certain nostalgia for returning to this place.Memories of his years in this guild. His hopes and excitement from the first days to the decline and misery of his daily life could not be forgotten, but this was an important step in his inner healing process. He had to go through this to be able to move forward.[ Master, let me ask again, do you feel good about coming here again?] His system asked, and Fanel just chuckled."How many times are you going to ask me this question? I'm fine, plus, I'm not the same anymore. It's just that we can overcome the past but not forget it," he said, observing the entrance through which he had to pass. This was the main entrance where all hunters and visitors had to pass. But for Fanel, this passage seemed unfamiliar. He had only borrowe
Fanel arrived home. He looked at his program. In one day, he had had so much to do, and now he had to organize his program.[You seem to be in a good mood despite the complex situations that arise in front of you.] Fanel smiled."I've never been someone who got sucked into the vicissitudes of life. Besides, I feel like I've been useful to society by helping Cierra with the refuge."Fanel entered the bathroom and turned on the shower head.[Do you think these people will leave your friend alone?]Fanel soaped his body, rubbing vigorously."I am sure of it. This hunter will make a detailed report to his accomplices. By the time they find a way to capture me, they will need to prepare. A power like mine does not run the streets, and I'm sure it has already attracted the attention and lust of more than one."[I see, You purposely let this hunter observe your technique so he could explain it to his accomplices and you also wanted to issue a warning.]"You got it. If hunters know there's s
