Reawaken the World

The Right Hunter (Part 1)

"About spending his days training and exploring the ruins."

 

"The rumors of an unexplored region filled with priceless relics where even a child could leave, have died down. After all, Alpha analyzed the market price of the relic and adjusted the quality and quantity of the relic that Akira brought to the Exchange Center."

 

"I also have better equipment for myself. He no longer looked like an unarmed amateur kid carrying relics to the Exchange Center. So the rumors died down quickly and the Hunters soon stopped coming to the ruins of Kuzusuhara which was the source of the rumors."

 

"Thanks to that, Akira can go hunting for relics without any problems. But instead, he could not earn enough money. After all, in order to avoid the spread of similar rumors, he could only sell half of the relics he had collected and had to hide the other half."

 

"In order to adjust to his deteriorating financial condition, he moved from 20,000 Aurums per night of lodging to 4,000 Aurums per night of lodging. She lives in a room as wide as 4 tatami with no other facilities besides bathing."

 

"Although that's so, it's much more comfortable than sleeping in a slum alley. But Akira cannot deny that he also lost the lifestyle in which he could bathe in the bathtub every day. It's not easy to lower her standard of living when she's experienced better before. Therefore, Akira often wonders when he can return to that lifestyle."

 

"Alpha just smiled as usual trying to calm Akira down. He also told Akira that once he gained enough skills and position, no one would doubt him if he brought an expensive relic to the Exchange Center. Then he would be able to quickly return to a lifestyle where he could bathe in the bathtub every day."

 

"After his smiling face, Alpha watches over Akira closely."

 

"Akira's daily work to train and explore the ruins changed after Akira brought the relics to the Exchange Center for the 10th time. After he finished the transaction as usual and was about to go home, Nojima suddenly called out to him."

 

(“Wait a minute. Take this with you. ”) 

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

"Nojima gave Akira a map drawn on a piece of paper and a plastic card. It was a map of the city limits and there was a marker on it."

 

(“Only there is a little something you need to do, but you just need to show this card to whoever is there. Well then, good luck out there, Ajira. ”) 

 

(“... My name is Akira. ”) 

 

"Ajira is a name mistakenly written in his Hunter ID. Nojima laughed when he saw Akira was upset."

 

(“Your name is entered as such in the database, you know. Did you enter the wrong name? Who the hell is the guy who did your app, that damn guy! Either way, you can fix your name there, so get started. ”) 

 

"After saying that, Nojima cheerfully sent Akira away."

 

"The outer wall surrounding the central district of Kugamayama City is often proud of its durability. It can keep the inside safe and healthy even if it is attacked. The thick, high walls that physically, economically, and socially separate the inside and the outside are filled with power, so much so that it will amaze anyone who sees it up close."

 

"There is a large tall building along the wall called the Kugama Building. It was a checkpoint that connected the inner and outer parts of the city and it was a very important building for the city."

 

"There is a Hunter Office inside that building and it handles different functions compared to the Hunter Office where Akira is applied as a Hunter. It was the office that managed all of Hunter's activities around Kugamayama City."

 

"About looking at the building, his intimidating appearance showed the authority, financial strength, and military might he wielded. That's too much for a little kid from the slums."

 

"The marker on the map leads to the corner where the Hunter Office is located."

 

(“This is the place, right?”) 

 

[Yes, let's go in. ]

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

(“Uhhh, yes. ”) 

 

"Akira restlessly followed Alpha who had entered the building. If Akira was alone, he would hesitate and it would take some time before he could enter the building. But it was thanks to Alpha's presence that he could muster a little courage to immediately enter the building."

 

"It froze in amazement by the appearance of the large hall filled with decorations and the Hunters present there. Some of them carried weapons larger than their own bodies, some of them wore high-level clothing and some of them even had metallic skin, a common feature of cyborgs. They all look very different compared to Akira, a boy who just finished his Hunter application."

 

[Akira, they are not your enemy. They won't attack you, so be calm. ]

 

(“T-okay. ”) 

 

[There's nothing you can get from just standing there, let's finish what we came here for. You know what you have to do, right? ]

 

(“T-No. ”) 

 

(“Lewat here. ”) 

 

"About the one growing up in the slums doesn't know what he should do here, it's thanks to Alpha's support that he can continue without any problems. The Hunter Office reception counter is located on the first floor. He heads to an unmanned reception machine that serves as a ticket printer, he uses the card he received from Nojima to register his name on the waiting list. He then moved to a corner to wait for his turn so as not to disturb others. When her name was called, she moved to the counter and showed her tickets and cards to the girl who worked behind the counter."

(“I was told to show this, but ..”) 

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

"The girl showed a formal smile. His fake expression and smile were suddenly shaken when he saw the card Akira showed. But he soon recalled his position as an office worker and regained his composure. He then took the card and used his terminal to read the card."

 

(“Please let me confirm it, are you Ajira-sama?”) 

 

"I'm about to reply nervously."

 

(“Ah Yes . Wait, no. My name is Akira, the name that was sent to the database is the wrong name. ”) 

 

"The girl then bowed and apologized."

 

(“I'm sorry . All right, Akira-sama, congratulations on your promotion to Hunter Rank-10. Please allow me to reconfirm the registered information and reprint the card. Should I give you a guide to reissuing your Hunter ID and steps to correct misinformation? ”) 

 

(“Eh, ah, yes, please. ”) 

 

(“By pleasure . ”) 

 

"Looking at how Akira behaves, the receptionist thinks that she doesn't really know about the process. Therefore, following her duties as a receptionist, she politely offered her help to Akira and continued to give an explanation of what she should do."

 

" *** "

 

"Hunter's Office sorted the Hunters based on their rank. The lowest is Rank-1. One would consider a Hunter with a high rank in terms of height."

 

"To move up the ranks, you must do business at an Exchange Center affiliated with Hunter's office or receive a search from Hunter's office or a company affiliated with it. In short, the more contributions you offer to the Eastern District Corporate Government, the higher your ranking."

 

"If you rise to a high enough rank, you will be able to access and collect relics from the restricted ruins under the authority of the Corporate Government. The higher your ranking, the more priority you will be given in the Waitlist."

 

"You'll also be able to get high-tech weapons, which normally wouldn't be offered for sale to low-level Hunters due to their cost, size and firepower. You might even be allowed to hold a forbidden weapon."

 

"There are several searches issued by Hunter's office and companies affiliated with it also have ranking restrictions. Only high rank Hunters could conduct searches with a high level of privacy and restrictions, after all, the lower rank Hunters would not even know the existence of these quests."

 

"In addition to these benefits, many Hunters are rising in rank for popularity and honor."

 

"About the 10th stage. That is a beginner rating for Hunters who register their name with their company employee ID or citizenship ID. In short, it was an amateur rank for commoners."

 

"Summer residents who don't even have a personal ID will start as Rank-1 Hunters when registering as Hunters. They usually register their name using a piece of paper with their name written on it. Then after they brought the relic to the Exchange Center for a few times and earned some money from the relic, they would begin to be recognized as someone who was motivated and had the skills to become a Hunter. Then in the end the Hunter's office would recognize them as someone with potential and put them in the top rank."

 

 

"The card Nojima gave to Akira at the Exchange Center is proof that Akira has risen from Rank-1. There were not many people who could obtain it because most of the people would either surrender or be killed halfway through. Then among those who rose in rank, some were seen as extremely potential Hunters and received special treatment. One is the first free resend for their Hunter ID."

 

" *** "

 

"After completing her explanation, the receptionist gave Akira a small booklet, the book was made with high-quality paper with the government logo of the Eastern Corporation and the Hunter office printed on the cover. It was filled with all kinds of information about Hunters and everything related to it."

 

"He then continued Akira's registration process."

 

(“Akira-sama. Since your request is to correct your registered name, can you tell me the correct name again? ”) 

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

(“It's Akira. ”) 

 

"About answering back with a confused look. The girl asked again with a serious face."

 

(“Akira-sama, today's registration is different from the temporary registration you did before, the information registered today will be forwarded as a full registration and basically added as a complement to the missing information. In addition, we will accept today's changes in registered data taking into account the fact that we have incorrectly registered your name. From now on, any change request will require a thorough examination and depending on your reasons, your request may even be denied, so please keep in mind. The name listed in your Hunter ID will be the name used to identify you and anything related to you such as family, land, country, class, and so on. With that in mind, are you sure you want to change your registered name to Akira? ”) 

 

"I can't answer that question right away."

 

"I don't have any brothers at all. He has no family and no record of his family. When he first began to understand the world around him, he had already found himself in the slums of Kugamayama city. He doesn't even have a love for the slums. He lived there just because he didn't have the ability to get out of the slums, so it wasn't like he felt a sense of belonging or anything."

 

"He is also not a member of a faction within the slum city. He's always alone. If someone asked him to identify himself, he could not say anything other than his name. That was why, when he thought that he could change his name here, he realized that he actually did not have any restrictions in changing his identity. Changing his name now would not cause any inconvenience to him. After all, no one used his name to call him, of course except Alpha which is a special case."

 

"After a short silence, Akira said with a serious look."

 

(“Akira, my name is Akira. Please register me with this name. If I wanted to change it, I would just change it later. But if my request is denied, then it means I cannot change my name. ”) 

 

(“Of course. ”) 

 

"After operating the terminal, the receptionist handed Akira a new Hunter ID."

 

"About continuing to stare at his Hunter ID that he had just received. It changed from a cheap-looking piece of paper to a card made of hard plastic. There is a deep meaning in material change."

 

(“Please be careful not to lose it. Other reissues will require more money and other inspections. And in the worst case scenario, all your past achievements might even be erased and your rankings might be revoked back to the Amateurs. ”) 

 

"Then the girl smiled and bowed."

 

(“It will conclude your registration. I sincerely pray for your future success. ”) 

 

"His modesty is just a formality. But it also meant that he ended up being considered a true Hunter. Akira smiled back and left the place."

 

"She exited the Kugama building while happily seeing her new Hunter ID. Seeing akira's behavior, Alpha smiles and congratulates him."

 

[Akira, you've finally become a Hunter. Congratulations !! ]

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

(“Thank you .. So I'm not a Hunter all this time, huh?”) 

 

[You've only been a self-proclaimed Hunter all along. Sadly, you will only be laughed at if you show that piece of paper and say that you are a Hunter.]

 

"When Akira was looking at his new Hunter ID, he made an expression as if he had just realized something."

 

(“You're right. ”) 

 

"The name written in this Hunter ID is the correct name, Akira smiled as he read it."

 

(“This means I can finally really call myself a Hunter, yes ..”) 

 

"The "ID Hunter also serves as Akira's ID. Although if he showed the card to the shops, they would only consider him an amateur, even so, this card was more useful as his identity card. Akira felt it was a huge improvement. At least, he's no longer a rundown townspeople without an identity."

 

"People will say that one can achieve success as a Hunter only after they accumulate achievements and make their Hunter ID a respected Hunter ID. Having a respected Hunter ID will carry a lot of meaning. And on this day, Akira finally took his first steps towards success."

 

"Seeing Akira, who probably only spent all his time staring at his Hunter ID if left alone, Alpha makes a bitter smile and warns him."

 

[How long you'll keep looking at it, just get rid of it, you'll look suspicious if you keep going.]

 

"The area around the Kugama building is well preserved compared to other places within the lower districts. If Akira was caught here because he looked suspicious, it would be much more troublesome compared to if he was arrested elsewhere. Therefore, Akira immediately saved his Hunter ID in a panic."

 

[Now, you have registered as an ordinary Hunter. So let's immediately go buy an item that an ordinary Hunter must have.]

 

(“Something I should have? What will I buy? ”) 

 

(“Terminal information. ”) 

 

"Hunters usually buy, sell, share, and exchange useful information such as the location of the ruins, maps of the ruins and details about the monsters living in the ruins on the internet. It helped them to work effectively as Hunters, bringing back many relics and making the eastern district prosperous."

 

"Broadly available information terminals are the foundation of information networks. When Tatsumori Manufacturing finally completed their cheap yet sophisticated products for the livelihoods of Hunters, the information terminal quickly spread among the Hunters. Even now, the market for specialty items Hunters is monopolized by Tatsumori Manufacturing, therefore, Tatsumori Manufacturing has risen to power and is now one of the companies in the Corporate government."

 

"In addition, the information terminal produced by Tatsumori Manufacturing is considered an important product in the eastern district because of its influence, for the benefit of the eastern district, the information terminal is mass-produced and sold at low prices. So, even someone like Akira can buy one for himself."

 

"Since the information terminal has been fully assimilated in the lives of the Hunters, Hunter's company and office usually sends their requests through the information terminal. Even now, they say that the information terminal is an absolute necessity for Hunters."

 

"About then go to a specialist information terminal store near Hunter's office and buy an information terminal by following Alpha's instructions. Akira spends almost all the money he earns to buy an information terminal. Also, the terminal is actually a simple information terminal made specifically for amateurs. Akira had no idea to set up the terminal, so he had the store clerk arrange it for him."

 

"When the store clerk set up his information terminal, he told Akira that he would need a Hunter ID to complete the arrangement. Akira thinks that the chance to use his new hunter ID has finally come and happily shows his Hunter ID."

 

"After returning to her cramped room, Akira began to think seriously. He had calmed down after getting a new Hunter ID and information terminal. So, he started to think that he would work hard in the future because he had become a Public Hunter now, but then he suddenly realized something and was worried about his current condition."

 

(“Alpha. I've used all my money to buy an information terminal, so I don't even have the money to pay for the room tomorrow ... Are we going to be okay? ”) 

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

"About thinking that Alpha must have thought of something and expecting a convincing answer from Alpha. But Alpha just smiled and said."

 

[No, we don't, that's why we're going hunting relics tomorrow. ]

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

"About a little surprised and staring at Alpha, but he came back smiling and they kept staring at each other for some time. Akira then sighed and ended the silence."

 

"About knowing that he can't win if he's up against Alpha. Since he spent almost all his money on the information terminal, he could only assume that the information terminal was worth the money. He thought that he would be able to accept his argument if he decided to ask for Alpha's reason."
