The journey to Gien village was a smooth one, albeit a long one. It took seven hours for them to get to their destination, one hour longer than the usual time needed. Throughout the duration of the journey, both Lukas and Ciel maintained complete silence. Lukas instead spent the whole time looking outside the window of the van. He found himself missing Eipi all of a sudden. At least, the journey would not have been this boring.When they arrived at Gien village, the van dropped the three of them off before driving off speedily.Lukas and Ciel looked around the village as soon as they alighted from the van. As the name suggested, Gien village was truly a village. At a single glance both Lukas and Ciel could tell that it was very underdeveloped.The van had dropped them at Gien village, but they still had to walk a short distance before they got to the gate to the village.As the trio walked towards the gate, they ran their eyes around their surroundings. Lukas in particular was very al
“What do you think you’re doing in my village?”Amanda swung her wand when she heard the voice, pausing the terrified villager’s fall. The villager had his heart in his mouth at that moment, as his face inches away from the ground. If the voice hadn’t interrupted Amanda from her actions, he had no doubt that he would have been face planted on the hard ground and turned into mashed paste.Lukas and Ciel were both shocked and curious that someone was capable of making Amanda cease her actions. They had no doubt in their minds that the villager was a goner when he mocked Amanda’s outfit. They were instead worried about how they would explain the injury of the villager to the Hunter Association when they submitted their quest report for clearing.Amanda slowly turned around to face the owner of the voice. There was shock in her eyes as she gazed at the chief. She was a silver ranked hunter and a Great Mage, which spoke volumes for her physical strength, but she was unable to sense the chi
A surprised expression immediately appeared on Chief Keef's face, and the powerful aura that he had kept hidden suddenly skyrocketed. Without even sparing the three guests in his small hut a glance, he exited the hut in a haste. Amanda glanced at Lukas and Ciel briefly before exiting the small hut, leaving both Lukas and Ciel no other choice than to do so. When Lukas and Ciel appeared outside the small hut, the scene before them was one that they did not expect at all. Several huge monsters could be seen charging at the weak villagers. These monsters were incredibly huge, easily towering the villagers at more than 3 meters tall. They bore an uncanny resemblance to the tigers on earth, with few differences. The teeth of these monsters were incredibly sharp, cutting through the weak defenses of the villagers like tofu, and the four front canines were shaped like sabers, hence their name saber toothed tigers. At a single glance they could see more than fifty saber toothed tigers; an
Ciel was still shocked at the identity of the masked hunter. Although she had some suspicions, there were merely suspicions. What were the odds of the masked hunter that was her teammate being Lukas himself?From what she could tell, she could see that Lukas was very experienced as a hunter, even more experienced than her. She easily deduced that Lukas had thoughts along the same line as her after the traumatic experience at the Zivel forests, and decided to increase his strength by becoming a hunter.However, she did not account for the speed at which he grew. By some coincidence, they even managed to join the same guild, and were assigned to the same team, which was the only reason she was able to deduce his identity. With tumultous emotions raging wildly in her heart, she joined the village guards and started to help evacuate the helpless villagers while fighting against the saber toothed tigers, taking a passive stance in the heated battle.Lukas who had no idea that his identity
-St Paul Hospital; London, England.-In a rundown hospital in the slums of England, a young man with bald head and rough face lay down on a bed with his face facing the ceiling.Flies hovered around him and Mosquitoes sucked his blood. His skin was rough with festered wounds all over his body. The sheet used to cover his bed was dirty.A normal person would vomit on the spot on seeing such a sight but the young man didn't mind. His face was blank without any expression. The reason was simple. According to the Doctor, he would die this week.Lukas had been in this hospital for the past 5 months. He had been transferred from Major hospitals in the country to this rundown hospital.Pounds upon Pounds had been spent in order to heal him but to no avail. After exhausting all the funds his parents had to heal him, they died from stress and overworking.Lukas knew that there was no cure for the illness he was suffering from. He had already resigned to his fate. As a person who'd been sick f
Lukas opened his eyes and found himself in a room. The room was spacious, the walls were painted white, the bed was soft and the sheets smelled nice. Lukas looked around the room and fixed his gaze on the door. There were voices behind the door. It sounded like a woman and a man were discussing something. Lukas removed his gaze from the door and looked outside. As he was admiring the view from the window the door pushed open and a person entered.The person who entered the room was a young woman who looked to be in her mid twenties. She wasn't tall, probably 5'2 with brown hair and green eyes. She was dressed in a gray camisole and gray slippers. She wasn't beautiful but her face was very pleasant to look at. She walked towards where Lukas lay before sitting on a chair opposite him. She and Lukas looked at each other for over a minute before he coughed and looked away."How is your arm?" She asked. Her voice was very soothing to the ears. Lukas found himself lost in her voice befor
It has been 2 weeks since Lukas left with Tasha to join the military academy. The registration process was smooth. He was given a card with his details on it. Since he had no last name the name Lukas was the only thing printed on the card. His age was set to 10. After all the necessary procedures Tasha left him; she had her own business to attend to.Lukas was sitting on a chair in a classroom. There was a male teacher in front of him. There were also four children around the same age as him in the classroom. He was being taught how to read and write. The teacher was easygoing; he cracked jokes here and there to make the kids less tense. They had to be literates before they joined the main academy. All students in the academy had to be literate. Lukas paid serious attention to what was being taught. It was absolutely necessary for him to be literate. Information about this world was in the library, and he couldn't learn about them if he couldn't read; so he made literacy a priority.
It has been 2 years since Lukas joined the academy. His life at the academy had been pretty straightforward. He woke up everyday and did a series of exercises, training his body; then went to school.He had made his way into the main academy after spending a year learning basic knowledge about this world. He was as knowledgeable as one could be at his age.Lukas wasn't a loner. He had made some friends in the academy during his first six months mainly because of his looks and smarts. He had topped the monthly exams as soon as he transferred into the main academy.During his stay here he found out that a lot of people were considering staying in the military for the rest of their lives. He had also figured that they were 3 types of people in the military. The first type included people whose parents had ties to the military or were in the military themselves and wanted their children to be placed in certain positions when they were of age.The second type were people who had suddenly
