Chapter 21: The Day After
"Katlyn!!"
"Katlynn!! Where are you?!!"
The office door opened, and Monica - Kaeyl's secretary, was tidying up the files on her desk.
"Hey Monica. Do you know where Katlyn is?"
"Miss Katlyn? she's training with Steven at the training ground," Monica replied who was busy with her work.
"Steven?"
"No need to worry about him sir, I've put the healer on guard in case he gets poisoned"
"You crazy kid, Katlyn!" Kaeyl hurried away to check.
"You're just as crazy, sir" Monica muttered.
Kaeyl Cassanova, a UR hunter from Indonesia who is currently ranked 5th in the world. At a level of almost 400 and his skill in mastering the 4 basic elements, Kaeyl is the first hunter in Southeast Asia to reach the world ranking.
Not only mastering, Kaeyl is able to transform into the element itself. Making it very difficult to attack. In addition, the scale and level of its extremes in unleashing power are capable of creating disaster.
His tan skin and brown eyes make him look typical of Southeast Asia. However, his big and tall body also eyes tend to be sharp, making him often mistaken for a foreigner.
Kaeyl's current place was his guild office. Of course, as Indonesia's no. 1 hunter, Kaeyl's guild was also the best. Almost all of its members, who now reach 18 people, are level 150 and above. Although it is a small number, thanks to the more frequent dungeons, there are currently 5 people with UR rank. Including Katlyn.
He went towards the elevator, towards the basement where the training ground was located. The closer he gets, the more unsettled Kaeyl feels. Not worried about Katyln, but Steven.
Katlyn is the first UR under 20-year-old hunter in Indonesia. Due to her desire to become Kaeyl's direct disciple, Katlyn refused all the invitations of the major guilds other than Kaeyl's guild, Garuda.
Then Steven? Even though he is a UR hunter, he has always been a training bag.
Maybe because he's a tank?
"Arrgghhh!!"
That's Steven!
Just as the elevator arrived, Steven's screaming sound was heard.
"Hurry! fast! Mr. Steven is dying!!"
There were several panicked sounds.
"That damn girl! what a disaster she did" Kaeyl ran in a hurry.
Below, Kaeyl saw several healers surrounding Steven. People who are surrounded don't seem to be doing well with a foaming mouth.
"KATLYNN!!" shouted Kaeyl from above.
The girl who heard her name called, looked up.
She smiled and waved her hand as if nothing had happened.
"Haa... Is it okay to take this girl to the Hunter meeting?" Kaeyl patted his forehead dizzyly.
"Wait..."
"If i look at the documents provided by Monica, aren't the other candidates also abnormal?"
"Ah geez! I hope they will get along a bit..."
...
In the middle of a snowy night. Dmitri walked with his master who was drunk to go home.
"Master, stop getting drunk..."
"Heee...Why...."
Dmitri put on a thick jacket. "You are a hunter of UR and a Russian hero" He helped his master to walk.
"What's the connection..." Her voice was chaotic because she was drunk.
"Monsters are monsters..."
"Drunk is drunk..."
Dmitri sighed not understanding his master's way of thinking.
"It doesn't matter if you're drunk at home" He justified his master's jacket so as not to get cold.
"But you're always drunk outside and worst always ends up sleeping in a bar chair, it's a hassle to bring you back"
"...."
Dmitri looked at his master who was silent, checking whether she was asleep or not.
"Don't you always bring me back, Dmitri?" his master suddenly said with a smile looking at Dmitri.
"Haaa... It's because I'm your disciple and the only one who cares."
The master laughed, "If you weren't a fkin kid, I'd have married you Dmitri..."
"Sorry but I prefer the younger ones"
"Heee...You're hurting my feelings, Dmitri..."
"Get ready, master! I'll take you straight home"
Dmitri prepared to jump. With the power of his momentum, Dmitri could fly with just a jump.
"Wait for Dmitri...." The master's face suddenly became panicked.
"Don't do that, please..."
"Shut up master, if you're not drunk, I won't do this"
And Wuusshh...
Together with his master, Dmitri flew in the middle of a snowy Moscow night. Bright yet quiet cities lay beneath them. To keep flying, Dmitri kicks in the empty air so that his momentum doesn't get lost.
The silence was colored by the screams of his master who were afraid of heights.
"DMITRIII SLAAAVV....!!"
Dmitri Slav, one of the golden generations of Russians. He became the only disciple of the Russian hero, Nika Bron.
By now Dmitri had reached level 310 and became the first of the young generation of Russians to have reached the rank of UR. His blonde hair and shady blue eyes are his trademark. Although from the outside Dmitri looked indifferent, he was actually quite warm and caring. Especially when it comes to the people closest to him.
His teacher, Nika Bron, is the world's No. 4 hunter. With white hair and gray eyes, her power that can summon a wide variety of weapons, earned her the nickname 'The One Army'. Despite being extremely powerful, Nika Bron was not allowed to use nuclear weapons if not inside the dungeon and alone.
Both are candidates who will be sent to the world hunter meeting.
"We've arrived, master" Dmitri led his master to the bathroom.
"It just so happens that the bathroom is right in front of us," he opened the door.
"YOU... ughh..."
Nika Bron ignored Dmitri and immediately spewed out her entire stomach.
"I served hot chocolate and honey on the table"
Dmitri closed the bathroom door and walked to his room, sleeping.
"Ughh...watch out for you later, Dmit-uegghh"
The quiet night in the middle of the forest house is adorned by the voice of Nika Bron with her stomach.
.....
Sluurppp...
Bugh bugh darrr!!
"That's cool, Lan Yii!!"
Slurrppp...
Darr!! Darr!!
"Great, Lan Yi!!"
An emotional mark appeared on Jing Yi's forehead. "HEY CAN'T YOU GUYS LET ME ENJOY TEA!!"
The two of them looked at their master who was relaxing enjoying tea in the garden of the house.
"Drinking tea?! master is not suitable for that feminine activity"
"Lan Yi! you can't say that to a fierce master" Lili chimed in innocently.
Signs of emotion appear on the side next to it.
Both training grounds are on private property. Although it was quite spacious and there were barriers around the training grounds, Jing Yi's relaxing location was right next to it. Making every sound produced sound clear, especially the sound of a loud explosion.
"YOU GUYS WANT TO SHUT UP OR I'LL THROW YOU IN THE DUNGEON??!!"
"Master don't be angry, Hunter Oliver will be afraid," Lan Yi said.
"Ehem ehem..." Jing Yi straightened her back and displayed an elegant posture.
"My beloved children... Can you guys be a little calmer?" her voice became softer.
"Hey Lan Yi, is the master senile? How can you practice calmly?" Lili whispered.
The sign reappears. Patient...
Jing Yi. A hunter is the pride of China by being ranked in the top 3 in the world. Her deep understanding of qi, made her position as the strongest in the plains of China unwavering.
Qi itself is a pure form of mana. In her stats, Jing Yi had no mana. Rather, it was replaced with qi. And in the description, there is an additional level of her qi.
Currently, Jing Yi had reached level 425 with a qi level that was in the core formation*. With the power of qi, Jing Yi could do what cultivators did in the fictional world. Such as releasing aura qi, controlling objects, releasing inner energy, flying and others.
Jing Yi herself has 2 disciples, namely Lan Yi who has reached the UR rank with a level of qi refining and the only one who is able to inherit two cores in one body (mana and qi) and Lili who is currently level 255 with her botanical-based powers.
The three of them will come to the world hunter association.
"Oh yew master, Lan Yi heard Oliver will bring one candidate"
"Is that something special Lan Yi?" asked Lili curiously.
"Maybe it's because your first time participating in a world hunter meeting, but during this event it was held and Oliver never once brought a candidate."
"Wasn't that candidate so strong that Oliver brought him along?"
"Hm, maybe true"
"And also I heard rumors that he was also my teacher's student, Sylv"
"Woahh... He must have been great"
"Hehe, that's why I train hard"
"T-then, Lili will also train harder"
The two continued their training with the hologram monsters.
Jing Yi who had just silent, staring at the sky, full of questions.
"What do you think as hunter no. 1 to take a man who isn't even a year old, Oliver..."
...
"Dad! is it true that Oliver will bring a candidate?"
Frederick, who was relaxing in his study, was surprised by the open door of his room. Jean, his son, entered.
"And he said the boy was a year younger than me" Jean sat on the waiting sofa.
The father of Jean's golden generation hunter, Frederick. A hunter rank UR with a level of 430. Sound is his strength. Frederick could put orders into his voice. Whoever heard it, would obey all of Frederick's orders.
The only one who can fight and win from him is Oliver. Compared to the speed of a sound, light is the fastest. This makes Frederick the second strongest hunter after Oliver.
"You're right, Jean"
"This is the first time that the man has brought someone" Frederick read a document about the murder of a hunter in an American town.
"In my opinion, does he think he can compete with other young hunters?"
Frederick put down his document, "who knows? someone who can get Oliver interested is certainly not just strong"
"But with a lack of experience, maybe Oliver thinks of bringing him in for that"
"Hahaha, Jean can't wait for the day of the meeting"
"Where the place as the strongest young hunter will be confirmed"
Frederick smiled, "Of course. Jean..."
...
In Japan, Hyoma focuses on polishing his sword.
Waited quietly for the day of the hunter's meeting.
...
Meanwhile, in Korea, Yoon Seok looks angry at Oliver's decision not to bring him.
"Oppa..." Hyejin was worried about seeing her brother who was smashing the goods over his vent.
"Hyejin..."
"Is your oppa weaker than that bastard who has just become a hunter..." His face exuded uncontrollable emotions.
Hyejin shook her head, "oppa is the best"
"Of course! I will prove who is the best..."
This was one month after Hyun was treated. Sylv and Sera visit him every day just to see Hyun. Several times Oliver and his members also visited.
There are 2 months left before the world hunters meet.
And what will the Mammon group be planning....
