Reawaken the World

Lost Wallets (Part 1)

"About just returned from the ruins and headed straight for the slums. The backpack on his back was filled with more relics than usual. People with good eyes could easily see that Akira was a Hunter who had just returned with many relics from the ruins."

 

"Shelter city security usually becomes closer to the wall and worse still to the desert, especially for slums bordering the desert. Security in the slums is really bad."

 

"Hunters who want to avoid trouble will take a detour and enter the lower districts without passing through the slums. After all, there were those who were blinded by their greed for relics and immediately turned violent. Most of them ended up as new additions to countless corpses in certain areas of the slum city. It shows the slum dwellers the difference between people who regularly fight against monsters and those who don't."

 

"About not even hitting an eyelash and going straight to the slum city, after all, it was faster for him to go to the Exchange Center through the slum city. Not to mention since he had grown up in the slum city, he had already gotten used to the public order here. After all, nothing had happened so far when he passed through the slum many times since he had become a Hunter."

 

"But something was abnormal today, suddenly Alpha told Akira to keep his guard up."

 

[About, we're surrounded. ]

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

"About stopping and confirming the surroundings. It seems he is not surrounded. There were more people around him than usual and that was it. But Akira doesn't question Alpha's detection ability and keeps his guard up."

 

(“... Could I win?”) 

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

"Even if it is true that he is surrounded, there are many possibilities as to why he is surrounded. It might just be a form of greeting or light intimidation or maybe he just caught himself when they were aiming at others. But then, Akira immediately understood that he was the target, therefore, he immediately took a pose where he could quickly shoot back if he was suddenly attacked."

 

"Alpha remembers the time when Akira decided to kill everyone when he saved Elena and her friend in the ruins of Kuzusuhara City, therefore, he asked Akira."

 

[Are you thinking about fighting them? How far do you want to go this time?]

 

(“If it seems like I can't win, then I will run and think about the next action depending on the enemy. ”) 

 

"They surrounded Akira and intimidated him. But if the bullying didn't work and it wasn't worth it, they would just back off. Akira doesn't mind if that happens. But if they try to extort the relic from him, Akira doesn't want to give them."

 

"He has become a true Hunter. He was no longer a child from the slums who would only throw away the money he had accumulated so desperately that they would spare him. That's the last thing he'll do."

 

"That's why, it depends on the enemy. If he had to choose to kill them all or not, Akira had already decided he would kill them if he had the chance."

 

"Alpha then gave advice. It was true that he did kill those Hunters all the way to the last person at that time, even though they did not even attack him. But their enemies this time seemed willing to talk to him. It's a bit strange considering the situation, but it doesn't affect his chances of victory."

 

[If you want to do that, then I won't stop you. But if I decide that it's getting dangerous, then obey my orders and run, okay?]

(Ts: already successful gini, so don't want to die😂) 

(“Good . I don't want to die anyway. ”) 

 

"As Akira stood still and watched his surroundings, the siege was completed. All the passageways and exits in the surroundings were blocked by the slums. Then 3 people came out from among the people around him. The three men looked different from the other people around him. They wore rather dirty and broken armor and they carried anti-monster weapons rather than simple pistols. Basically, they are Hunters who fall by grace."

 

"About soon knew that these people were the leaders of those who surrounded him. Then to show that she was not afraid, Akira shouted at them casually."

 

(“Unfortunately I'm not rich to be able to pay the toll, so just go and hit someone else, okay?”) 

 

"The people laughed. Among them, a man named Sibea shook his head."

 

(“Stop lying . You carry a lot of relics on your back, don't you? I don't know where you got it from, but I'm sure I can find more from where you found it, right? ”) 

 

"About stiffening and it was visible from his expression. Seeing that, Sibea simply laughed as if she hoped that would happen."

 

"Sibea aiming at Akira is half a coincidence. He's been spreading his nets ever since he started gathering information about his next prey."

 

"There are a lot of gangs in the shantytown and many of them are led by the fallen Hunters. They were Hunters who lacked the skills and equipment to make money in the desert, but were enough to be used in the cramped spaces of the shanty town and a touch of violence to earn money there. These Hunters gather minions and form gangs."

 

"Sibea was one of those Hunters. Although he was not one of the big fish here, his gang was quite strong and they had a base in the slum city. Akira was trapped in the net they were spreading."

 

"Sibea imagined how much Akira had in her backpack and mocked her."

 

(“You're also a boy from the slums, right? Then we should help each other, right? I've got a lot of people under me so we're having a hard time staying here, you know. ”) 

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

"Sibea looked around at the people surrounding Akira as if to say that they were his minions and threatened Akira that he could not escape."

 

“Do not worry. As long as you give me all the money, goods, and all the information you have, we will not kill you. ”

 

"Two men beside Sibea prepared their weapons and pointed them at Akira. They laughed showing that they thought Akira was weaker than them and did not have the ability to win against their numbers. But Sibea could see that there was no trace of fear from Akira's expression."

 

"About looking at Sibea with a grim face."

 

(“.... If I refuse, will you kill me? If you kill me, you won't get the information, you know. ”) 

 

(“It depends on you. You can tell us before we kill you. ”) 

 

"Kira knew that Sibea and her friends had no plans to let her live."

 

"About a long sigh and hanging his head. Seeing that, Sibea thought Akira had given up, so she lowered her guard as well."

 

"Behind the weakness he showed those people, Akira had actually already made up his mind."

 

(“... Well, I don't want to die either. ”)

 

"Hearing those words, they lowered the guards further as they subconsciously removed their fingers from the trigger and lowered their weapons. "

 

(“Alpha. ”) 

 

[Do it when you're ready.]

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

"With that brief telepathic conversation, the fate of Sibea and her friends was sealed."

 

"About suddenly turned to his side. Sibea and the others were baited by it and looked towards the direction where Akira was looking. The next moment, Akira took out his AAH assault rifle and started shooting while running as fast as possible in the direction Alpha commanded."

 

"Those with bad luck got shot and screamed in pain. Since they had already lowered their guard, they were too late to react. Not to mention they surrounded Akira, any shots they missed would hit their friends on the other side of the siege, he said, so they ended up aiming more carefully which made their reaction much slower."

 

"There were people who tried to shoot Akira with reflexes but no one reached their target. Alpha had already calculated the safest path if they started shooting at Akira and he ran through that path. Alpha's calculations are perfect, despite all the bullets fired at him, not even a single bullet hit him."

 

"About following Alpha's instructions and going into the alley. Of course, the people blocking the passage thought of shooting at Akira, but they were very surprised that their reaction was delayed. Thus Akira can shoot them freely in close range. Those people only used simple cloths rather than armor, so anti-monster bullets pierced through them without a fight."

 

"The gang was decorated by corpses and the ground was flooded with blood in an instant. But Akira didn't even touch the eyelashes at the horrifying sight as he ran further and further without looking back at the people who tried to kill him."

 

"Shouts and screams echoed in the area. The majority of Sibea's henchmen think that Akira is just a child who will give everything with a little bit of intimidation. They did not even imagine that it would turn into a shootout. The people who were forced to come with Sibea started to fear for their own lives and ran away."

 

"Sibea and her two friends were only lightly injured, thanks to their armor. Sibea was shot but it did not hinder him in the fight, but even so, the pain from the blow was immense as it was visible from his expression. He shouted furiously at the pain he was suffering from."

 

(“That damn boy, look down on us !! You go and chase him! I'll take another route and circle him! You people!! Stop standing there and chase the boy !! We will surround him !! ”) 

 

"The two men beside Sibea immediately set out to pursue Akira, but the other men just stood there, afraid for their own lives. Seeing that, Sibea clicked her tongue and pointed her gun at them."

 

 

 

"Finally, the rest of the Sibea gang began to move. He clicked his tongue and went to another passageway chasing Akira."

 

"About taking a turn not too far into the alley and stopping, he immediately turned around and pointed his gun at the alley he had just passed. The angle works like a shield that blocks the display. But he was able to precisely target those who were chasing him because of the detection support that Alpha added to his vision. To make it easier for Akira to see, Alpha even deciphers enemies with red borders."

 

"Sibea even intimidates his gang members with his weapons to make them chase Akira. They still think that Akira is trying desperately to escape from them. Because of this, they did not pay attention to Akira as they just broke through the hallway without confirming their surroundings. Akira remained in hiding and secretly prepared his weapon."

 

"As they ran into the alley defenselessly, Akira showered them with bullets. Some of the people, who ran into the alley, directly picked up the bullets and fell to the ground. While the people behind them were indirectly picking up bullets and screaming in pain followed by the people behind them. The ground is painted red with their blood."

 

(“Alpha, how many people are left?”) 

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

[Most of the people around you have started running away. So, you only need to kill the leader and his assistant which means at least 3 more people are left. Hide it there.]

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

"About hiding on one side of the alley. It didn't take long before the surviving members of the gang got there and shot a few shots to check the corner before carefully moving forward."

 

"Because Akira was exactly following Alpha's instructions, he wasn't hit by their bullets. Moreover, thanks to his long history of living in the back alley of the shanty town, he could hide so well that a little peek would not be enough to find him."

 

"The man who stepped into the alley thought Akira was not there and stood there revealing his entire body. As he did that, Akira's bullet went through his forehead."

 

[2 again. Refill your bullets while you have the chance. ]

 

(“Accepted.”) 

 

"About becoming quiet and changing his gun magazines while his fallen enemies were still screaming in pain."

 

"Sibea tried to circle Akira. At first, he ran in anger, but he calmed down with time and his anger began to turn into confusion."

 

(“... Friend ?! What happened there?”) 

 

"He tried to contact his subordinates via wireless communication, but there was no connection at all. He felt annoyed, but he tried to fake the courage to replace the anxiety in his heart."

 

(“.... Fuck !!”) 

 

"The sound of gunfire echoing from a distance had already stopped. Sibea could only think of 2 possibilities, either his minions had already exchanged fire with Akira and finished him off, or vice versa."

 

"He expected the first one to happen. And the reason why he could not contact his minions, it was because the communication devices were destroyed during the shootout or they were injured and could not answer back. Both are possible scenarios."

 

"But Sibea also imagined about what would happen to her if the actual situation was beyond her expectations."

 

('... What happened to the boy? He's not just a normal boy, is he?') 

 

"Sibea thinks that Akira is just a lucky boy. It was the conclusion he made after hearing the rumors about a boy who accidentally discovered a hidden place filled with relics left behind by some dead Hunters."

 

"If that was true, then even a child without strength would be able to find an expensive relic. It also fits with the fact that no one has found the unexplored area even though so many Hunters went looking for it. after hearing the rumors."

 

"He thought that it must be an amateur who brought back a relic that knew nothing about the value of the relic he was carrying. Then rumors spread after the relic he brought was bought by the Exchange Center at a very high price. Surprised by that, he must have stayed low until the rumors abated. And if there was still a relic left in that place, then he must have bought some equipment while trying not to arouse suspicion using the money he received from his first expedition. He would plan to return to that place after the rumors subsided. Sibea thought that it was time for that to happen and ordered his subordinates to be careful of someone child-like from the rumors."

 

"Then he actually found such a boy, so he felt more confident. Not to mention the boy looked much weaker than he thought. The boy did not look like someone who could survive in the ruins and wastelands that he could not live on by himself."

 

"But he has lost his confidence now. He thought that he would be killed if he stepped forward, so he just froze in place and couldn't step forward."

 

('.. Would it be better if I ran away? If that boy really killed my men, I can come up with an excuse later and ..') 

 

"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."

"Sibea could not decide what to do and it became a fatal mistake. Whether he was going to run away or fight, he should have made the decision sooner. After all, if he decided to fight, then he would have more time to prepare, and if he decided to run, then he would have more time to escape. Time is the essence of his survival."

 

"The sound of gunfire suddenly resounded in the air. Sibea was hit by several bullets. The high-quality armor he wore saved his life. But the impact of the shot made him drop his weapon. Then a barrage of gunfire reverberated, the gun he dropped shattered and he was unable to fight back, due to his injury, he lost all his ability to fight and could only lie on the ground. He could see Akira coming out of a nearby alley while looking disappointed."

 

"About disappointed that Sibea was still alive even though he shot her with the intention of killing her. Alpha smiles while looking in admiration."

 

[Jeez, you missed too many shots. You should take better aim before going to kill.]

 

(“.... I'll give my best in the next training. ”) 

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

"About sighing lightly and walking to Sibea. He then pointed his gun at Sibea's head to finish her off."

 

"Sibea panicked, she thought hard to stop Akira from killing her."

 

(“Tu-wait! This is your victory !! Forgive me!! I will give you my money !! I have a lot of money, you know !! Please stop !! ”) 

 

(“Why are you aiming at me?”) 

 

(“A-That's because I heard there was a boy who wasn't that strong but had a lot of money! But I was wrong! You strong! Please forgive me! If you forgive me this time, I will even be willing to be your henchman !! I'll let you replace my position as the leader of the gang! I've had an influence even on other gangs too, you know! You will definitely get more benefits if you let me live !! I have a lot of useful information about the slum city as well !! This must be useful to you! I can help you too, You don't want to be attacked like this again in the future, right? I can talk to other gangs so they won't attack you anymore! So let go of me, okay ?! ”) 

 

"About just standing there staring at Sibea pleading for his life. Alpha just keeps watching Akira while smiling."

 

(“I understand your feelings, after all, I don't want to die either ..”) 

 

"Sibea smiled after hearing those words. But suddenly his face paled."

 

(“... But unfortunately I also said kata² like this at that time, right? But you don't stop, that's why, you're going to die here. ”) 

 

 

"About pulling the trigger and shooting at Sibea's head from close range that instantly killed him."

 

(“Alpha. What about the others? ”) 

 

[The rest have fled. Thanks for the work, your hard work. ]

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

"About looking at the smiling Alpha and making sure that he wins. He then sighed in relief and made a troubled face."

 

(“... For some reason, I feel like I've only been killing someone lately since I became Hunter. And here I thought I would start fighting monsters more often. ”) 

 

(“Well, if you look from your point of view, they are trying to kill you for no apparent reason. So I don't think they're any different from those monsters. If you want to start fighting monsters, you have to work harder to become stronger. I can't recommend fighting monsters with your current abilities. ”) 

 

(“I don't want to fight monsters. It was the same with these people, they thought it was better to fight with me than to fight against that monster. That's why they decided to attack me. In their eyes, I look like a lost wallet they found lying on the ground. I have to make them stop looking at me like that, otherwise things like this will happen again and again, yeah. ”) 

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

[And remember that the wallet gets thicker every time you sell the relic to Exchange Center, so let's be more careful now and so on.]
