Kane’s popularity rose after that night and girls started flocking around him despite his indifferent personality. It was the same for Arisa, but she was fortunate because the men from the university were not the type to chase after someone they admired.
“Kane, are you going to the barren lands to purify them again today?” A girl asked as soon as he was out of the village chief’s house.
He just looked at the girl with a blank expression before he walked past her. Why would he waste his time talking to those people who only noticed him after making an achievement? They were worse than those other girls who noticed him for his looks.
“Are you sure you want to ignore them? Those girls were pretty and you won’t be able to find someone as pretty as them in the southwest region,” Arisa teased him while wiggling her brows.
“Then why don’t you mingle with them yourself?” Kane looked at her with one of hi
“Have you seen him walk out of the Village Chief’s house?” One of the girls giggled as they watched Kane walk towards the farming lands. Because of his performance last night, most of their schoolmates were eyeing him. The treatment of him from being a normal guy to a celebrity had shifted overnight.“Kane, what was that for?” A sweet yet strong voice came from inside the house and soon enough, the angelic lady was seen storming out of the house.“There goes the heroine.”“She’s the only girl that Kane was not ignoring.”“How envious!”“Though Kane was not that sweet and accommodating, I’ll be fine as long as he would talk to me.”Erin could somehow relate to those girls. Towards everyone who tried to approach Kane, his expression had always been the same. He always let out a bored look on his face every time a woman approached him. But it was different with Arisa. Even if he wore his infamous blank expression, he always had a gentle vibe around him every time he was with her.“You ca
Kane was once again catching his breath as he pulled the dagger from the ground. After the days he spent pouring mana on the village’s vast barren lands, he was finally finished. He dropped his body to the healthy ground and closed his eyes.The sky looked like it was on fire with its golden orange color with a touch of pink and purple. The golden sun and the half-moon were in the same sky though the latter was not too obvious yet.It was so beautiful and it was the first time that he got the chance to admire such a scene. Just looking at it made him feel calm and at peace. His breathing started to grow calmer and stabilized until he was no longer panting.“What are you doing there? You’re no longer tired so why don’t you go back now?” Arisa asked as soon as she reached Kane’s location. Behind her were Erin and Xander whom she spent the last days with.Kane looked at the three with a blank expression. Just how on earth
Kane still had his blank expression while the other three showed a shocked expression as soon as they heard what the instructors had to say.Emergency dungeons were dungeons that suddenly opened out of nowhere and those kinds of dungeons had unknown levels. Such dungeons could cause a leak if not cleared for the next 24 hours. Because of those conditions, it had been the DME’s protocol to assign hunters who could enter such dungeons and clear them within the timeframe. Usually, the DME would call for S-Classes from the closest branch of the hunters’ guild in the area to deal with it immediately.Why were they chosen? Only Gustav was registered as an S-Class hunter. On top of that, all of them were not even in their 20’s yet and two of them just finished training a few days ago. How could they send the younger and inexperienced hunters to take care of an emergency dungeon?“I understand you calling for me, but why would you send these people? Xander and Arisa were both A-Class hunters
After one hour, the four once again gathered in the receiving room where the instructors, professors, and even Viktor were waiting. Arisa noticed that there were two new faces and she immediately concluded that those two were the S-Classes that their master was talking about.“Master, our juniors were the girl and that blank-faced guy, right?” The man said with a smile on his face. He seemed to be in his early 30s and the woman beside him seemed to be around his age as well.“We can tell just by looking at their tired faces.” The woman smiled as she looked at Arisa whose brows raised as she looked at Kane.Arisa could not find the tired that the woman was saying when she looked at Kane. His face was still glowing and still handsome as ever. How could they even tell that he had a tired face?“Are we going or not?” Gustav butted in. He did not like how the people were giving their attention to Kane when he was technically the weakest among them. Why would they even notice a weakling lik
The jeep wrangler stopped a few meters away from the dungeon entrance. The hunters went out of the car in silence and discreetly walked toward it. Gerald nodded his head to the person guarding the entrance before they entered the dungeon.As soon as they step foot in the dungeon, they were welcomed by darkness. Gerald opened a flashlight and they all saw that it seemed like they were inside a cave.“A cave dungeon, huh?” Gerald snickered.Cave dungeons were one of the hardest to predict kinds of dungeons because there was a variety of monsters that could reside there: there were animal-like monsters such as bats and rats, there could also be wolves, there could be goblins, orcs, and sometimes it could be a dragon’s lair. They would be no way to know what the monsters in the cave dungeons were like until the party entered.Before they started their mission, Gerald stepped forward and turned his body into steel. In that kind of situation, he would gladly be the tank and the scout becaus
The moment he started attacking the goblins, Kane felt as if he was in a trance. The pleasure he felt with every groan was great. Every blood that dropped from their bodies made him elated. He felt light and every single punch and kick was strong enough to deprive every goblin of their lives. He could not stop himself from grinning. He was in his best condition despite being tired from purifying the Sachin Village’s barren lands for a few days!Kane jumped and he landed a kick on a goblin near him. He used his mana to give his legs the maximum speed to move from one spot to another and attack the goblins off-guard. He did not care whether goblins’ blood was splattered on his clothes. He just did not want to lose the momentum that he had at that time.It was an amazing feeling as if he was invincible and unstoppable. Everything was so easy.He ran to the left and punched another goblin that was about to sneak an attack on Arisa, then he moved to the right to support Xander who was bein
“Should we wait?”Gerald fell silent for a moment. He was an S-class, but he could not be sure whether going further in that dungeon would be the right decision. If he was alone, he could have gone further with no worries. However, he was with a young hunter. He could not make an impulsive decision that he might regret later.Kane was a promising hunter. The moment he saw his skills; he already knew why his master took him under his wing. Despite being a B-Class, he had a lot of potentials to be an S-Class, or maybe even higher than that. Even if he was already strong, he could not just bring him along and fight a monster with an unknown level. He did not want to cut a promising hunter’s future.“Let’s go back.” Gerald turned his back and walked towards the teleportation circle.“Sir, what does being a hunter means to you?” Kane asked out of the blue.“Being a hunter?” Gerald furrowed his brows. Why would he ask something random so suddenly? Though he was confused, he still answered t
“Hobgoblins? They leveled up,” Gerald chuckled. “Fine. Let’s take the left and prepare for battle.”Gerald took the lead as they walked further on the left path. After a few minutes of walking, they heard the growls of the hobgoblins. The growls were deeper and the shadows of the monsters were bigger compared to the goblins that were just four meters tall.“Get ready…” Gerald whispered when he heard the footsteps getting closer. He took a step back and the hobgoblins started attacking.The four went forward again and started fighting off the hobgoblins. Compared to the goblins, the hobgoblins were bigger and stronger.“Humans… can’t… pass!” A hobgoblin roared before it attacked Kane. “Not allowed!”Kane blocked the spear that the hobgoblin was using and pushed it back. They were a lot stronger than the goblins!“Xander and Arisa, pair up,” Gerald ordered. “It will be easier for you to defeat those hobgoblins if you pair up.”Xander immediately went to Arisa’s side and supported him.
