The Artefacts Intelligence

Chapter 15 Becoming Hunters with Sarah (part 1)

The Hunters association branch.

Sarah and Zulfikar are filling out a form to test as Hunters candidates.

This test is actually easy and there is no difficulty for Zulfikar and Sarah, especially this theory test becomes simple for them.

When the test was over they were called to take a photo and then waited 15 minutes to get the card.

2 Hours passed.

Zulfikar and Sarah eventually drop out of the Hunters associate branch at the school.

Now they will take their first mission.

" What are we gonna take? " Ask Sarah.

" For the first time we are looking for disaster animals that are not far from the outer walls of the city or maybe inside the city especially underground which sometimes have a nest of disaster animals. "

" Is there anything like that? "

" I don't know let's look inside the city so it doesn't happen the way it used to. "

It was a grave mistake for a Hunters and star warrior to create a nest of disastrous beasts within the city. Although the disaster beasts were in the underground passageway but it was fatal to let them continue to thrive.

Therefore they try to find this mission, if there is no they will still try to search because they will not let the mistakes repeat themselves as they used to feel.

As expected there was no such mission.

So Zulfikar chose a mission on the outer wall of the city and tried to find a waterway that leads into the city.

" Sarah, is this mission okay? " Tanya Zulfiqar.

" It doesn't matter, but are you sure of that? "

" Yes, but before that I need some ingredients and I plan on buying it, what about you? "

" I don't need anything just maybe prepare some change of clothes because we're about to enter that underground passageway. "

" Okay, we'll be gathered at the school gate 1 hour from now. "

" good. "

Then we split up and Zulfikar bought a lot of ingredients for the Array and included groceries as we were sure to be moving around a lot.

………

1 hour passed.

Zulfikar has finished preparing for everything and now is the time to get together for our first adventure.

It turned out that Sarah was already there and Zulfikar felt guilty for making him wait a very long time.

" I'm sorry, made you wait so long? "

" No, I just arrived. "

Looking at Sarah like this, Zulfikar had already anticipated and brought out the chocolate she liked the most.

" this.. "

" What? "

" Feed, so that you have the energy to complete the mission" said Zulfikar, giving and then eating the same.

" M. uh..? Did you make it yourself? "

" Yes, is it not delicious? "

" Sweet, this is the best I've eaten before" Sarah said in a voice that grew smaller and smaller until only she heard.

" Let's go! "

Zulfikar and Sarah head to the train station.

If only the magic technology had obtained the form of a teleportation gate then we would have communicated with the 34 provinces easily. Honestly, Zulfikar already had the idea to make it unfortunately too big capital and this failure was so high that few people dared to do that.

If successful this becomes a new breakthrough for this country to become a super power country like other countries.

Zulfikar did not know his father made something as simple as communication but passed through dimensional space and with this most likely Zulfikar would understand what the use of space and time was.

………

Finally 45 minutes we finally got out of town and we were ready to do the mission, but before that Zulfikar just remembered to give combat clothes to Sarah.

" Sarah use this combat suit? "

" this.. "

Sarah knows the battle suits that are often used on Hunters and star warriors to protect them from the attacks of disaster beasts or ancient beasts. But what Zulfikar gives is very different and can be said to be very beautiful and attract a lot of people around so that many gather here.

" It's based on my parents' combat clothing models but I've added some for example for dives, flights, and places that lack oxygen as an aid so as not to worry during the war. "

" It also adapts to the user so don't worry about not being in your body, so use it" said Zulfikar, who asked Sarah to wear combat clothing.

" Okay, but did you do it yourself? "

" Yes, so use it and if it's not nice say it.. "

" good.. "

Zulfikar and Sarah are looking for a dressing room to change their clothes for combat clothing.

After they finished wearing they had turned into like a professional in Hunters.

" I didn't think it would fit you very well.. "

" thank you.. "

Sarah's blue dress with a pheonix white pattern behind her back and looks like a cold fairy nobody else can touch.

Zulfikar's clothes are black with golden stripes with dragon patterns behind his back and look full of mystery as Zulfikar wears a black mask that covers from his nose to his neck.

Especially the black hair with golden eyes that was very forgotten when looking at Zulfikar's face.

" What's up? " Tanya Zulfiqar.

" Nothing.. "

While avoiding Zulfikar's gaze as Sarah's face flushed red upon seeing Zulfikar's handsome face covered up became a mystery.

" Let's go.. "

" good.. "

Zulfikar thought that if only he had the best materials from the ice core it might be able to make a sword like ice crystal that was as pure white as himself.

" Fighting a level F level 1 disaster beast required no ancient weapons and also a Skill 1001 form weapon. Just using the elements of space and time was enough against them" Zulfikar said in his heart.

Then the two of them went to explore around the city and fought those level F level 1 disaster beasts with ease.

Until the night came unnoticed.

" Sarah, what do you want to eat? "

" What did you bring? "

" Chicken, beef and goat as well as some green vegetables and also a kitchen spice? "

" Ehh? Why are you carrying it like that? "

" I fear you are not used to eating disaster animals, so I brought this ingredient while the kitchen seasoning was important. Because the taste of animal meat is disastrous some are less tasty if only burned with added salt, so other spices are needed to eliminate the bad taste. "

" I eat ordinary meat.. "

Zulfikar already knew that Sarah was not accustomed to eating disaster beasts compared to herself who had to eat the flesh of disaster to strengthen her body. To be honest at first it was less tasty especially what made was the chief robot who did not feel what he felt.

But thanks to that ordinary Zulfikar with a strange taste of the beast of disaster and sometimes make his own cooking food to suit the taste of Zulfikar.

Finally we finished eating and Sarah finally secretly tried the cuisine with the disastrous beast ingredients. Sarah thinks it tastes bad but when she tries it tastes really good and forgets to tell for Zulfikar.

" Can we go back or camp here? What do you think Sarah? "

" I want to feel the feeling of living in nature so let's try living here. "

" Alright, luckily I have made a special tent for both of us and it is very comfortable in spite of the bad weather outside. "

" Did you make that? "

" No, I'm just fixing it to be a fit and comfort to us. Do you want your own tent or a big tent but both? "

Sarah was confused to answer him because he was silent.

Zulfikar also felt his words were too ambiguous that it made a misunderstanding between the two of us. Therefore Zulfikar made a large tent that could fit 6 people and gave a small tent to Sarah that fit 2 people.

Finally it was finished and Sarah went straight into the big tent and made a boundary between men and women.

" It's your limit and this my limit of offense will be severely punished.. "

" ha.. Okay, " said Zulfikar who saw him put a small tent into the space storage ring and make his bed.

Zulfikar also did the same but after he finished doing the hermitage to increase his cultivation as soon as possible.

Time passed and it was now 3am that Zulfikar intended to take a short nap to release his fatigue. But at 5 am he woke up because there was no enemy who attacked but someone hugged him beside who turned out to be Sarah.

Zulfikar did not move in fear of waking him up and tried to sleep even though he could not. It felt like hugging him but Zulfikar was still worried about whether he could be together with him and Zulfikar did not want to make this into a regret especially to him.

Until the morning of 6:30 am Zulfikar pretended to be asleep.

Sarah wakes up and she is shocked that she is sleeping next to Zulfikar.

Fortunately he had not woken up otherwise he was embarrassed when he said those words last night. Looking at Zulfikar's face Sarah felt the pain of that moment even she did whatever it took to be strong and Sarah was sure how painful it all was.

His affection was never lost and forgotten during the unforgettable events of his childhood. For Sarah Zulfikar is her hero if there is no way that she has disappeared from this world and is lost in the darkness where there is no light at all.

But he clasped his hand firmly so Sarah would not lose her direction and as a hint of light shone on her he smiled at her that he would always protect her.

The word is just a common phrase that may be easily forgotten but Sarah cannot forget it. Because he smiled with many wounds everywhere and tried to smile at her so as not to make those bad memories happen.

Yes, it is not a bad memory but a beautiful memory where they only have one hope to live but he who embodies that hope.

Sarah kissed him on the cheek and said in a small voice until she was unconscious Zulfikar's heart shook and Zulfikar wanted to say something to her.

But he could not for fear of making Sarah ashamed that Zulfikar lied to her until he hated her.

When he went to clean up.

Zulfikar opened his eyes and never forgot the words he said earlier and inexplicably Zulfikar wanted more power than ever before.

" I must be strong but do not forget my foundation so that I can protect him forever" Zulfikar said in his heart.

Little by little Zulfikar and Sarah's love slowly grows trying to eliminate the boundary wall they have created little by little.
