Reawaken the World

Elena and Sara (Part 1)

"About being involved in his shooting training in the desert near the ruins of the city of Kuzusuhara."

 

"He held his gun tightly while trying to keep the correct pose. Looking through the aiming device, he tried to align the Trajectory Prediction Path, in short the TP Path, with a small rock. But the blue TP Line, which appeared due to Alpha's support, swayed lightly due to Akira's breath."

 

"About taking a deep breath, holding it, and gathering its focus. When the blue TP Line stopped swaying, he pulled the trigger."

 

"The bullet launched from the muzzle of the gun tore through space in a straight line before hitting the rock. It smashed the rock into pieces and threw it into the air."

 

(“Oh! I'm making progress, aren't I? ”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"After reaching his target 3 times in a row, Akira felt that his shooting skills had levelled up and laughed happily. He understood that he was still completely dependent on Alpha's support and it was impossible to reach his target alone. But it's also clear that his skills are better than when he's just a total amateur."

 

"Alpha smiled happily."

 

[It seems you've graduated completely from being an amateur hunter. You are doing well and your improvement is incredible. ]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"If someone was praised after working for so long, it was obvious that person would feel happy, and even someone as cynical as Akira was no exception. As Akira smiled at Alpha, he smiled back with a deeper meaning."

 

[Just like this, let's work hard for the next training as well. Since you can hit the target now, let's move on to the next one. We'll change the target, but you just need to do what you've done until now. Try to shoot while thinking that you will be killed if you miss. ]

 

"Alpha then points to Akira's next target. He showed a slight disturbance as he moved his gaze there. But his face immediately turned pale as his gaze fell on the next target. It was the weapon dog that almost killed him a few days ago."

 

"The weapon dog was 2 meters long. It was an enormous weapon dog with a Gatling gun growing on its back. His appearance was so intimidating that it was impossible to sneak. But even so, Akira had not noticed his existence until now."

 

"About stunned for a while, but he soon regained his composure and was about to escape when Alpha smiled and said."

 

[Don't panic, it's just a picture. ]

 

"About accidentally staring at Alpha. When he saw her smile saying there was no danger, he could calm down. While suspicious, he still pointed his gun at the gun dog. His heart is beating fast. His gun dog looks real no matter how he slices it. But since it stood still and did not show any reaction, he directed the TP Line to it. He finally understood that it was not real and heaved a sigh of relief."

 

(“Don't surprise me like that. ”) 

 

"Although Akira looked at Alpha with an angry face, Alpha just continued to smile shamelessly at him."

 

[You will fight with many of those monsters from now on. So, you have to get used to them and know how to react when one of those monsters appears suddenly. If you're as shocked as you are now, you'll be killed. ]

 

"Alpha gave Akira a signal to continue training, thus, he prepared his weapon without hesitation."

 

[The weakness is the area between his eyes. Kill in one shot. ]

 

"About seeing its target through the aiming device. The target is framed in a red box with the indicator placed at its weak point. Akira tried to align the blue TP Line with that weak point, but his hands trembled, thus making the TP Line shake inconsistently."

 

[.. Relax, it's just a picture. It was just another target like that little rock .. ]

 

"Even if he understood that, frightening things were still frightening to him. It was a monster that almost killed him, despite the fact that it did not move at all, the image looked real. Besides, since he had to aim, he had to keep looking at it. It was very difficult for him to remain calm."

 

"About taking a few deep breaths and trying to calm himself down little by little. He put more power on his arm that was still shaking to suppress the TP Line's sway. When he tried to stay calm, he stopped his breathing, gathered his focus, and pulled the trigger."

 

 

"About doing everything he could, but the bullet didn't hit the weak spot of his weapon dog. Not even hitting a gun dog at all. Instead, he landed on the ground not too far away from the weapon dog."

 

"Just after that, the weapon dog started moving. It shifted its large body very quickly as if it was reacting to his shot and aimed the Gatling gun at him. Akira who saw it from the aiming device on his weapon froze. Gatling's gun then began to spin and catapult out a large muzzle."

 

(‹I die› that's what Akira thought as he stood there frozen.) 

"Ts: This code→ (‹...... ›) sign to indicate message bubble or author explanation."

"But to his surprise, the bullets did not rain down on him and he was far from dead. He wasn't even hurt. He was so confused that he remembered that it was just a picture."

 

"If it wasn't training, he would have been dead by now. Akira finally understood why Alpha showed him the scene. He sighed as he supported his limp body in order not to faint."

 

(“Tell me earlier next time ..”) 

 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"When Akira gave a protesting look to Alpha while being meek, Alpha pointed his finger at the ground. There's a bullet-riddled body lying there. And when Akira noticed the face of the corpse, he turned pale. It's a picture of the body."

 

[If you can't aim correctly at his weak point and kill him in one shot, at the very least, your shot should weaken him to a state where it can't move anymore. Otherwise, it will counterattack and you will end up like this. You will die if you miss, didn't I tell you to aim while remembering it? Take your practice seriously so you won't end up like this in a real fight. ]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

(“...Accept . ”) 

 

"Akira's face twitched as she looked at Alpha, who was laughing as usual, and the picture of the corpse."

 

"Alpha rearranges the image of the monster and training continues with it as a target. The target was one of the monsters Akira could defeat with his equipment. But Akira was unable to land any attacks and continued to see himself killed in various ways leaving many images of his corpse scattered around him. When Akira saw the corpses, he desperately continued his training so that he wouldn't end up like them in real life."

 

 

“Alpha, will we end training for today?”

 

[The reason is not that Akira, but someone came here. ]

 

"About looking confused as he took out his binoculars. Thanks to the improved binoculars with Alpha support, he was able to locate the men immediately. There are 2 Hunters driving a vehicle designed to traverse the desert."

 

"Akira's face turned grim as soon as she saw them. He remembered the time when he was attacked by a pair of Hunters a few days ago, so he couldn't help but be on guard. Although these two Hunters were women, there was no reason for him to lower his guard."

 

(“Don't tell me they're here to attack me like last time. ”) 

 

[I think they were there for a different reason. They might just be on their way to the ruins of Kuzusuhara City. But just in case, let's go to the ruins as well. Because they drive cars, if they really want to attack you, you will not be able to escape from them in this place. ]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"It is not a rare thing for Hunters to meet other Hunters in the desert and it is equally not a rare thing for other Hunters to not have good intentions. Thus, both sides would keep and create a tense atmosphere between them, but then this tense atmosphere would often trigger a fight just because of trivial matters."

 

"About being too aware of that. So half of the battle trigger has been set. Thinking about how the other hunters would react to him, Alpha decided to tell him to withdraw from the place."

 

(“I understand, let's go. ”) 

 

"About immediately pull his backpack and run to the ruins of Kuzusuhara City."

 

" *** "

 

"The two female Hunters were driving a vehicle specially made to explore the ruins. They're also headed for the ruins of Kuzusuhara."

 

"Their equipment was inadequate to explore the interior of the ruins, but they were clearly too well equipped to explore the outskirts of the ruins. Putting aside the special group of Hunters that could kill monsters with their bare hands, most Hunters were equipped with equipment comparable to their skills. After all, it was an indicator that they had the skills to obtain and operate that equipment. So in short, the Hunters who worked by exploring the ruins of Kuzusuhara, they were not completely amateur but at the same time, not completely professional either."

 

"Elena who was driving the car spoke to Sara who was sitting next to him."

 

(“Sara, we'll be here soon, get ready. ”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Sara who saw the destruction through her binoculars made a puzzled look."

 

(“Elena, are you sure this is the place?”) 

 

(“We talked about this yesterday, didn't we? This is the only destruction a small child can reach on foot from the city of Kugamayama. ”) 

 

(“Isn't it also possible for him to go to other ruins by using regular service?”) 

 

(“In addition to the ruins of this Kuzusuhara City, the other ruins that regular services can bring you are dangerous ruins. Rumor has it that there was a little amateur boy who came to the Exchange Center with a very expensive relic. If the boy also frequented other ruins, then such rumors would not spread, you know. It is not strange that a little boy from the slums went to the outskirts of the ruins of Kuzusuhara City and found an expensive relic by chance. So this place must be. ”) 

 

"There were rumors spreading among the Hunters in the city of Kugamayama about the destruction near the city where even a little boy could reach many of the expensive relics that were left untouched."

 

"Obviously, you have a better chance of coming back alive from harmless ruins. Therefore, Hunters who could not go to the dangerous ruins thought that it was a better choice to spend time sweeping through the ruins rather than fighting the dangerous monsters. That is why places that may have untouched relics will be fully explored in no time. There are no more unexplored low-hazard places near the city. At least, most Hunters thought so."

 

"But it is completely disputed. After all, a boy with bad equipment brought an expensive relic to the Exchange Center."

 

"They did see this boy, and not just once. He even regularly brought back relics to the Exchange Center and fought in the slums to earn the money he earned. The rumor was even more exaggerated by saying that the Hunter who tailed the boy found an unexplored place and earned a large sum of money. Such rumors had already spread in the city, therefore, many Hunters began to sweep through the area with a low level of danger once again."

 

"Elena and Sara were among the Hunters who heard the rumors and decided to sweep the ruins again. To them, the ruins of Kuzusuhara City were worthless. But if the rumors turned out to be true, then they thought that they might hit the jackpot themselves. And even if the rumors weren't true, it wasn't like it would be dangerous for them. That's what Elena thought when she decided to search around the ruins again, and Sara agreed with her."

 

"But unlike Elena, Sara is not optimistic. "

 

(“Aren't you really looking for that place before? And the results of that search aren't very good either. To be honest, I didn't expect much from that place. ”) 

 

(“Well, there's no harm in doing this, right? Let's find that place again, something may have changed since the last time we came here. ”) 

 

 

"After Elena said that in a cheerful tone, her gaze turned to Sara's chest and her expression turned to worry."

 

(“... And also, about your nanomachine, it might be a good idea to fill it up immediately. I know you've been cutting your portions because we haven't been getting a lot of money lately, but are you really OK? ”) 

 

"Sara looked at her own chest that had no stripes like during her glorious days. Elena and Sara both knew exactly what that meant. That's why Sara smiled so as not to make Elena worry."

 

(“Nothing, nothing to worry about. ”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Sara is one of those people who actively boosts their body using this type of nano consumption and her chest is where she keeps her nano stock."

 

"Working as a Hunter and fighting monsters are 2 sides of the same coin. Their enemies are descendants of biological weapons made by the old world or machines that serve as defense mechanisms. It was not easy to fight against those enemies using the human body. To fight those monsters, some hunters look for ways to increase their physical strength; enlarged clothes, prosthetics, turning into cyborgs and so on.  "
