Chapter 29: The Threat of Grim

Still with the state of Rizu which is quite terrible after being hit by Arni to bounce into a tree. Now it appears that the girl is starting to point the Sniper Rifle in front of Rizu, preparing to shoot him.

Damnit. If it is true what Suda told Astan before, then what Arni wants to do is really not kidding.

“Arni—.”

“What do you mean hit me that hard, huh?!”

Rizu voiced emotions, cutting off the words of Astan who wanted to prevent Arni's distant actions.

Astan was about to curse, swearing at the man who seemed stupid and deliberately challenged Arni just because of differences in rank and level.

Miza and Panka also look shocked at Arni's shocking actions. They had read Arni's data, impossible if he could be that strong with the rank and statistical data as low as now.

In this kind of situation, rank and level were not something to think about. The power of Arni is purely the result of his emotions that might not be controlled.

“Supply once you!” continued Rizu. “You are only a low-level Iron Rank female! It is not appropriate for you to dare to hit a hunter with a rank higher than yours. I'm your senior!”

“Senior, huh?!”

All the men there were shocked to hear an unusual thunderous voice from Arni.

“Senior…? Where is there a senior who feels himself the greatest of the others?!” Arni starts nagging him in a high tone, “You and your fellow hinamu dare to compare yourself with us who are only Iron Rank. Is that your guts? Dare to raise self-esteem in the face of the lowest?!”

“Just try to compare yourself to those who rank or who are in the Silver Rank and above. Do you still dare?! Just try! Most also submissive licking the legs of the Silver Rank hunters upwards while begging for forgiveness on them, or not even looking face.”

“And again, you even have a problem about the Score and Score Bonus taken by Grim. That's right Bang Astan! It's all because you guys are not hunting fast, you guys are actually lousy! It is precisely Grim ‘ who is greater than you! He wants to account for mistakes that are not necessarily his fault! He wants to make amends by handing over all his money to you, the despicable hunters! Grim is a real man!”

Grim was fixated with every word from Arni. The contact made his heart touched, never feeling what it was like to be defended by someone.

During this time Grim was only considered as a complement to a Squad. In fact, with the Bug at his disposal, Grim is forced to finish off the enemies to death and then let another hunter make the final attack in order to earn more Bonus Scores.

But as he leveled up, of course Grim became stronger and accidentally finished off the enemies of the Easy Level in just one attack. Or when he wants to help, the attack power is too high, so that makes the enemy immediately killed even though the enemy's Health Status is still more than half, it causes him to be suspected of stealing the Bonus Score.

Astan turned to Grim who was beside him. The orange-haired man kept his distance, disgusted at himself when he saw the tears coming out of Grim's blue eyes.

Astan is confused with Grim. Why child? A little moved, a little moved. Surprising of his life?

Rizu sharpened her gaze to Arni, gritting her teeth, appearing emotional when attacked through every insult and insult.

“You…. How dare you—.”

“Arni!”

Grim and Astan are surprised to see Arni without hesitation to shoot Rizu. Lucky the girl accidentally shot to the side, so it only hit the tree trunk behind Rizu.

“That's a warning shot,” Threatens Arni with a deep tone, “If you dare to mess around, I won't hesitate to shoot out the contents of your head.”

Astan rubbed his face. Arni's action is not to make them free from problems, even worse the problem. If this continues, for a long time they will be noisier as fellow hunters.

At first Rizu seemed tense, the shot was really no kidding to be directed to kill him on the spot. Yet strangely, that tense expression changed with a trivial grin.

“Heh, you dare to kill me? Then try!”

“You mean it, bastard?!” arni shouted no less loudly.

Arni earnestly cocked the Sniper Rifle and started aiming for Rizu's head.

“Arni, don't sell—.”

Instant warn, “Arni, the Hack Ability!”

“Ap—.”

When Arni looked back, he saw one hand Panka electrified many circuits. Apparently, Panka hacked Arni's weapon system. While the other hand held a laser gun, ready to shoot the girl.

“Because of you, sia— Agh!”

Just as Panka was about to pull the trigger, his front body was instantly slashed using a sharp weapon.

It was not Astan who did it. He had intended to help Arni, but Grim slashed Panka's body first with a scythe until it bled. Now, he was standing on his back to Arni, protecting the girl from any possible impromptu attacks again.

“Agh…! Ssh...”

Panka fell down trembling while holding a long wound resulting from Grim's incision, his blood also poured out quite a lot of the wound.

The quite severe wound was caused due to the Grim Martial Ability Bug continuing to be active, so the blond man easily gave such severe injuries to Panka who was a Bronze Rank hunter.

“You...” Panka grinned as she looked at Grim. “Dare also babu like you injure—.”

“Enough.”

Panka made goosebumps, her eyes widened with shaky irises. Not usually Panka saw Grim look flat expression with glittering blue eyes sharp. Looking at Panka Hina while twirling the blood-scattered scythe casually in her hand.

“Do not mess with Arni..”.

Grim slashed through the air, giving a menacing gesture to make the three hunters tense up without a sound.

“If you don't want your intestines to break down in my hands.”

The scythe glint and the blue eyes of the Grim clearly threatened anyone who dared to just glance at it for a moment.

“Ma-Mas Grim.

Arni was stunned, but disinclined at the same time. The bespectacled blond man appears to give his own charisma when threatening Panka and trying to protect Arni. They look very different from Grim when they first meet.

“Haaah..”.

Astan sighed, looking down while poking at the nose of his nose. Already Arni who made trouble, now Grim also added. So add more dizziness to Astan's mind now. Confused must be how to resolve the conflict between hunters so as not to prolonged.

“Haaah..” While trying to endure the pain, Panka spoke, “Have started to dare you, huh…? You-you..you think your threat of sambalmu can scare me... or my friends.?”.

Panka narrowed his eyes, staring back at two blue slices of Grim.

“You... only dream... be able to be a white equestrian prince in the presence of a girl...”.

Suddenly Rizu, Miza, and Panka point each of their guns at Grim and Arni. At the same time they started shooting.

“Arni!”

“Mas Grim!”

“Argh..!”
