Reawaken the World

The Value of a Person's Results (Part 1)

"Standing outside the Exchange Center, Akira kept staring at the 300 Aurum in his hand. Even though he had gotten a clear explanation as to why he had received so little compensation, he still could not fully accept it. He then sighed as if he was expelling aversion from his heart and putting the 300 Aurum, the compensation he got from risking his life away to the ruins, into his breast pocket."

"Alpha smiled as if she was trying to comfort him."

[Don't worry, you'll receive the rest later. So just wait patiently, okay? ]

"About calming down and his expression calmed down as he gave a deep nod to Alpha."

(“...Yes you are right . I shouldn't have let him incriminate me. ”) 

"Since he could somehow force himself to calm down, he used that momentum to start thinking about his next plan."

(“Alpha, I plan to go to the ruins again tomorrow, is it okay with you?”) 

[Of course . In this case, you should rest for today. I'm sure you're quite tired. ]

(“Yes, I'm really tired. Let's take a break. ”) 

"About turning his gaze to the contents of the paper bag he was carrying. The bag was filled with knives, medicine, and many other things that he did not sell. To Akira at the moment, those things were extremely precious."

(“Well, we still have to hide these things. So let's head for the back alley first. ”) 

"When he headed to where he slept yesterday, Alpha suddenly gave Akira a signal to stop."

(“What's wrong?”) 

[According, careful. ]

"In the direction designated by Alpha, 3 children emerged from a small branch road. When Akira was told by the children, 2 more children appeared behind him. All these children were from slums like Akira and their age was more or less the same as her."

"The leader of these children was a boy named Darbe who was standing right in front of Akira. He laughed and started suing Akira."

(“Keep out your money, you do have some now, don't you?”) 

 

"As expected, upon hearing such a request, Akira's expression turned stiff. But he decided to try to defuse the situation."

(“I don't have any money with me. You should know that just by looking at me. If you are going to rob someone, then find someone who brings money. ”) 

"Shortly, Akira's argument does look valid. If these children really came to him just to play around and not for money, it was enough to discourage them. But Darbe laughed in disdain and tilted his head as if he was mocking Akira."

(“Stop with the lies, I saw it, you know? You just got out of Exchange Center, right? You are headed for destruction today and yesterday, but unlike today, you did not go to the Exchange Center yesterday. So you did find something, didn't you? Which means you have some money at the moment. ”) 

"Darbe and his gang have seen Akira go to the ruins and decide to go on standby around the Exchange Center. Compared to wandering around the ruins looking for the relics themselves, it was much safer to just rob the people who returned from the destruction. There are many people who follow this line of thinking. As for these little ones, there was no way they could rob an adult Hunter, so they had no other choice but to rob other children like Akira. This is one of the reasons why the number of child hunters continues to decrease."

"About sighing and answering honestly."

(“Listen, I don't have more than 300 Aurums. ”) 

(“Hah? Stop joking with me. ”) 

(“I didn't mess with you. They didn't give me more than 300 Aurums for all the stuff I brought here. I'm not lying, they say it's the rules. So you know, I don't have a lot of money and it's not worth it to collect me with 5 people. If you understand now, then just go somewhere else. ”) 

"Darbe looked at Akira suspiciously. But he doesn't seem to be lying. Moreover, he remembered that he had heard from someone before that the first payment for a new hunter was no more than 300 Aurums. Then he clicked his tongue in frustration."

(“What the heck, And here I thought that we would get a lot of money for the first time after a while. Stop doing such misleading things! ”) 

(“My confusion, so, can I go now?”) 

"It seems that other children are losing their will. But that's not the case for Darbe, he still looks like he's going to get the other kids to attack Akira. Darbe scans Akira for something that looks expensive. But Akira was only wearing a tattered dress that did not deserve to be robbed. Moreover, the paper bag he was carrying was so dirty that it did not appear to have any value. Normally, it was enough to make him give up, but he was so frustrated that he had promised his friends."

"His frustration finally reached its peak, he let his emotions rule his body and pulled out the gun."

(“Damn !! I don't care anymore !! Give your 300 Aurums if you don't want to die! ”) 

"About the already tense, the stiffer."

(“.... You won't get anything from trying to shoot me, you know? Anyway, I will definitely fight. Do you really want to do this for just 300 Aurums? Juststop. ”) 

(“Shut up!! Just give me the money !! ”) 

"Fighting to death against the penniless will only make them spend their money on bullets. Moreover, fighting with a cornered opponent might cause them fatal injuries. Darbe understood that, but he was looking for a way to vent his frustrations and was propelled by momentum after he pulled his weapon. It's 5 vs 1 and he already has his weapon first, having such an advantage makes Darbe take rash decisions."

"Akira's face became even more grim. It was only 300 Aurums, it was not a decent amount risking its own life. While at the same time, it was the money he earned after risking his life and it was the first compensation he got as a Hunter. So in short, the money was not something he could easily lose, so Akira had to make a difficult decision."

"Suddenly, Alpha stood in front of Akira and looked at him with a casual smile."

[Akira, answer me calmly. Don't worry, I can hear you, no matter how small your voice. Do you understand?]

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

(“...Baik”) 

"Ts: This code→ (“..... ”) sign to show conversation bubbles. "

[If it's necessary, I'll give you my support, so what will you do? Surrender money? Or run away? Or maybe kill them? ]

"If he only gave away the money he had earned after risking his life, it would make him last longer. But it also meant that he would have to hand over his money again next time."

"He might as well have survived if he ran as far as he could. But that meant he had to run away again next time."

"And lastly, he might have survived if he killed them. But there's a chance he could be killed in the process."

(“. ”) 

"Alpha smiled without showing any hostility."

[Accepted . I'll give you instructions later. First of all, we're going to break through the siege. You can pass through the gap between the 2 children behind you, after all, they have lowered their guard and stood a little further away from each other then the rest. Turn back, take 2 steps forward, then lean forward as if you were tripping and running through the gap between the two children. After that, jump right into the little alley on the right side and we'll start fighting back from there. Youunderstand? ]

(`.I understand . And when exactly should I act? `) 

"Ts: this code→ (`...`) sign to indicate a low voice bubble or involuntarily eject a word."

[Do it now . ]

"I'll turn around soon."

"In her first steps, the other children became stiff when they were shocked when Akira suddenly turned around."

"Then at her second step, the other children reached out their hands trying to reach Akira. But their hands achieved nothing as Akira leaned forward as if he was tripping. Afterwards, Darbe pulled the trigger, but his poor aim had caused the bullet to pass over the forward-leaning Akira."

"The other children were shocked by the shots from Darbe and stood stunned for a while. Akira used that gap to go to the alley on his right and continued running. When the other children jerked back to reality and hurriedly checked the passageway, Akira was long gone."

"The boy who almost got hit by Darbe's bullet came at him."

(“Hei!! That's dangerous, damn it !! ”) 

(“Shut up! Wrong that kid for moving so suddenly !! Damn boy, I'll kill him !! Oi!! What are you standing for? Let's chase him !! ”) 

"Another child retorted in an irritated tone."

(“Just give up, there's nothing we can get from robbing a poor kid like him, right? Moreover, he is already far away from us. If you're really going to aim for him, let's wait until he returns to the Exchange Center again. Anyway, I'm sure he'll have a lot of money by then. ”) 

"Darbe clicked his tongue in annoyance at his friends who lost motivation and gave up chasing after Akira. They broke up and started going their own different ways. But after taking a few steps, Darbe, who was unwilling to give up on Akira, looked back at the alley where Akira disappeared."

 

"In the next example, Darbe's expression turned grim. Akira suddenly jumped out of the alley while pointing a gun at him. Darbe is able to dodge Akira's bullets because he coincidentally looks at her. But the other children took the bullet and fell while crying in pain."

(“Bad you!”) 

"Darbe will strike back when he points his gun at Akira. But when he did, Akira was already gone and there was no one where he was aiming. The shock and confusion that came as the enemies that appeared suddenly started to subside. But instead, anger began to swell within him overriding the fear of death. His hand started shaking while holding his weapon which pointed at nothing."

(“How dare he screw me !!”) 

"His loud voice that showed his anger echoed around him."

"–"

"In the meantime, Akira ran in the back alley with a gloomy expression. Since he immediately ran back into the alley without confirming if his shot was successful, he could distance himself from Darbe and his gang."

(“Alfa! How's that?!”) 

[3 of them were shot, 2 of them were considered unable to fight. Everything is still alive. ]

(“I understand, it's better than I expected. ”) 

"About not someone skilled with a gun. Normally, it was impossible for him to just jump out of the alley and hit 3 shots. An amateur will usually jump out of an alley and take his time aiming before pulling the trigger, then he will stand there to confirm if his shot got hit. But if Akira did that, he would definitely get a reply."

 

"What is possible is Alpha. Alpha exits the alley in front of Akira and stands in an efficient firing position while pointing at Darbe and his gang. Akira just follows Alpha's movements. He leaped out of the alley into the position Alpha pointed at and pointed his weapon in the direction he already knew by looking at Alpha, then he fired a number of bullets in that direction as quickly as possible before running back into the alley. . It was only because Akira followed Alpha's instructions precisely so he managed to make a surprise attack."

"But that doesn't mean his enemy has been defeated. The battle continues."

[We moved on to the next position. This way!]

(“Good . ”) 

"About continuing to run in the back alley as he followed Alpha."

"Darbe watched his surroundings with his weapon ready as he peered into the alley where Akira disappeared. He doesn't see Akira there, but he thinks Akira might be hiding somewhere nearby. So, he brought his friend, who fortunately was not shot, and carefully walked deeper into the alley."

 

"One of the children yells at Darbe with an agitated look as Darbe moves deeper into the alley."

(“H-hey !! What are we going to do with them ?! Are we just going to leave them ?! ”) 

"Darbe replied with a stern expression as if he was scolded back."

(“We'll kill the kid first !! Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to move those people to a safer place, you know? !! What would you do if he started shooting at us when we took him to the clinic? !! ”) 

(“A-I understand, you're right .. It's not like you plan to leave them, right?”) 

(“If I planned to leave them, I would have already escaped by now. ”) 

(“A-I understand. ”)
