ORBION HUNTER: Hope And Light

Ordinary Person

"At your young age you've been working, don't your parents exist?" Leo asked, staring at the boy, whose question from Leo made the boy lower his head.

"Indeed I shouldn't be doing this job, but my mom's sick and I need a lot of money, my father went with another woman and left my mother so I had to look after my mother even though it meant that I had to lose my youth" the boy said, bowing his head.

Leo could see tears welling up the cheek of the boy and he was really touched by just the short story the boy had given him because the boy's life story was the same as his.

Leo used to live only with his sick mother while his father somehow went where to leave the two, but what Leo is experiencing is more painful because he has to lose his mother because of an incident and when Leo sees the child, he thinks he must help him so that the future of the child is not the same as it seems.

"All right, what's your name?"Leo looked at the boy.

"Kristan" said the boy staring at Leo hoping that Leo would use his services because very rarely he found people who needed his services in the arena of the fight.

"Kristan, then I'll call you Kris, show me where the participant registration is, I'll pay you after you help me" Leo's words were followed by a bright smile from Kristan and with the spirit of the boy led Leo to the registration place.

…..

At the registration place, it appeared that only a few people were filling out forms while many unemployed officers were there.

Indeed, not many people are willing to register in the fight above the arena because when they fight on the arena, then their lives can be in threat at any time.

The advantage gained by fighting above the arena was nothing, only a few million for each participant who fought according to the rank they had.

For its own rank, in the fighting arena it is divided into seven badges namely.

Bronze \= 0 points 

Silver \= 100 points

Gold \= 500 points

Platinum \= 1250 points

White jade \= 2500 points

Emerald \= 5000 points

Diamond \= 10000+ points

The higher the badge you have, the greater the chance of getting a large salary, for example for a bronze badge owner's fight will only get one million in each fight they do while for a fighter at the platinum level, their income could reach a hundred million with just a single fight.

To level up the badge was also not easy as it required points for all of it, and those points were collected from the wins earned in the fight over the arena.

If you lose then points will be deducted and accumulated points used above the arena is every one time the victory will get five points while if you get a defeat points will be reduced by fifteen points.

For his own strength Leo does not need to worry because the fight will only be done if the strength of both sides are declared equal to each other or if there is a difference, either, it might be allowed to be only a few levels higher or a few levels lower to avoid slaughtering one party above the arena.

Of course, all of that is also juxtaposed with the owner of the same badge, and the higher the level of training and badges that are owned, the heavier the fight that must be done.

….

When it was Leo's turn to register, the officer guarding the registration could only be made to frown at him for seeing Leo as still so young, as he was, plus he can't see Leo's level of training makes him think that Leo just wants to take his life by coming to register at the registration place.

"Little boy, don't get in the way, there are still a lot of people who want to register here" said the registrar who Leo knew that the officer intended to expel him because the place was really quiet, There were only Leo and Kristan, there was no one else.

"Sister, sorry we came here to register not to play" said Leo then he handed over a pile of money at the registration table that made the committee glance at him for a moment and then looked back at Leo.

"Well, what name do you want to use?" the officer asked, quickly preparing to put something on his computer keyboard, seen from wherever Leo knew that the arena where he registered as a fighter this time was a very rich place, he said, there are even many technologies used such as live broadcast screens, cameras, computers, and loudspeakers, as well as lights.

To improve all that technology, at least the arena of fighting must spend five hundred million dollars more which proves how much money they have.

Leo held his chin trying to think of a name that suited him, Leo thought using a real name in a fight over the arena was not a wise thing, either, so Leo thinks making a name right is really very new and seems very cool.

After much thought, Leo finally reached a conclusion regarding the name he would take to enlist in the arena.

"Ordinary People" said Leo which makes both the officer who takes care of the registration and Kristan who is there very surprised.

"Ordinary People?" said the two while staring at Leo so surprised them with what Leo said.

"Use that name for my fight over the arena, don't look at me like that, you give me goosebumps" Said Leo which makes officers and Kristan look at each other think about the contents of Leo's head.

But because he saw the pile of money on his desk made the officer take notes according to the name given by Leo as well as ask about some other information.

"Master, the name you chose…"

"Let's just be calm, it does look so silly but within a week, I'll change everyone's view of the Common Man's name" Leo said then he took out another pile of money and gave it to Kristan.

"For your mother's medical expenses and my thanks!" leo said after he got the bronze badge and walked away leaving Kristan who was very surprised by the pile of money given by Leo.

When he wanted to ask and turned to Leo, he had no way of finding Leo anywhere he could circulate his gaze.

"Thank you Mr. "Ordinary Person" Kristan said with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Meanwhile, elsewhere Masamune who saw Leo could register just by handing over some money could only sigh deeply.

"Money can indeed solve everything" Guman Masamune before he walked into the arena.
