The Hunter System

Chapter 48 - 5 Hunter's Job

After finishing all the business he had to finish before taking the quest from Rimi, Alvin finally went to the new warehouse where Vina was already waiting for him at that place.

.........

"Your business is done?"

Alvin nodded slowly. He also tried to smile even though he did not have a good mood to do so.

"Yes." Yeah." Alvin's voice is short.

Seeing the expression on his sister's face, Vina who had lived with him since childhood would know if her sister must have a problem that she wanted to keep by herself.

'I used to see this expression a lot when he came home from training at the Academy. I didn't know that he was under Brondy Lewis' protection at the time.'

But this time Vina already knew what her sister was thinking. However, he did not want to talk about it directly and preferred the right time to ask.

.........

Alvin noticed that the room was still empty and only had a set of work desks there.

"Do you like it?" alvin asked Vina, as he stepped towards one of the walls of the room, all made of glass.

He then stood in front of the wall to see the beautiful view of the river below.

"According to the rental price" said Vina after he stood beside Alvin, also while looking at the tourist boats passing in the river below.

Vina then turned her head to watch Alvin.

"I'll use the first floor to the fourth floor as storage."

"You only need two floors for the office?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"You set it. I'm just a supplier."

Vina was a little annoyed when she heard that. He already knew that it was Alvin who had killed all the monsters to supply their company's products.

He only felt a little calm when Raymond said that Alvin was actually very strong and only hid his strength.

Vina finally took a deep breath and tried to praise her sister for her hard work all along.

"Hey.., you know... You look more mature now."

"Tsk... Why did you just realize it?"

Plaque...

"Oh...!" lamented Vina, as she felt pain in her palm after she hit Alvin's back.

"Don't hit me again. You're forgot? I am a hunter," said Alvin who then forced his laughter amid nervous feelings about wanting to go on a quest after this.

"But, your body wasn't this hard."

Alvin grinned widely. Actually, it wasn't because of his hardened body. He now has better instincts than he used to. He was able to sense the coming of the attack and reflexively strengthen his defenses.

"By the way, is it true that Ray said that there's an A-rank gate going to appear around here tomorrow?"

"She told you that too?" alvin asked with a slightly angry facial expression. He was a bit irritated when Raymond leaked to Vina about him doing a raid alone and now he also told her things that would definitely make her brother worried.

"Yes. He just wants to do something good. He asked me to evacuate for a while" said Vina. He knew Alvin looked upset and did not want his brother to be angry at Raymond, his spies.

"Yes. As Ray said."

"Isn't that dangerous? I read about it on the internet."

Alvin turned to him once more before looking back at the passing ships down there.

"There is nothing harmless in this world as long as we are still living side by side with the Dungeon gates."

Vina nodded slowly. What his sister said was true. Their mother was also killed due to a Dungeon Break that had been missed by the S City Association.

"You're going to come with them to try to deal with that Dungeon?"

"Yes. Although not yet officially registered, we are now citizens of City T. So I have to help as I can."

Vina took a long breath. Although he was worried because his brother might be harmed, but he could not ban it as well because his brother was a hunter who had an obligation to help the world eradicate a Dungeon.

"You gotta be careful, okay?"

"certain."

After talking about it, they then discussed various things about the decoration of the new office and warehouse for almost 1 hour before Alvin finally resigned.

.........

"You want to go to the Dungeon again?" asked Vina with a frown. It was rather unsettled every time Alvin went to the Dungeon.

"Yes." Yeah."

Vina Grunts quietly.

"Oh, if Jack calls you and asks if I can help them, just say I'll help."

"Why me? You can say it yourself, right?"

"What do you want to do?"

Alvin smiled stiffly. "I'm sorry but I can't say it right now."

"Tsk... You're a mysterious pretender. Are you going to S City?"

"No. I'm going to another town."

Alvin actually just wanted to go to Dungeon quest from Rimi. The last time he was there, it took him two days to finish. So think that this time might take even longer.

Alvin couldn't have said that to anyone. So the most appropriate reason was to say that he was going out of town.

"Be careful, ok?"

"certain."

......................

"Alright, now let's finish the quest, muttered Alvin as he opened the quest window and activated it, just after he came out of Vina's study.

["Hey, you know what? You're overreacting. You do a lot of things and tell other people a lot like you're gonna die."]

"Do I look like that?"

["Yes. You've been so unpleasant these past two days."]

"Is it because you can't prank me? Are you that happy pranking me?"

["Tsk... You did it because you were afraid of the quest, right?"]

"I'm just worried."

["Have we not helped you so far? You also do a lot of exercise every day. Although still a little, but your progress has been very good. What are you worried about?"]

"I'm human, okay? Although I also know about my progress, but humans still have a sense of worry."

["..."]

"Well, you won't understand because you're a system."

["..."]

"By the way, why didn't the map to the Dungeon gate appear? I've activated the quest."

["This quest was not taken from a future Dungeon. You can open the gate anywhere. You just say the keyword 'Job Training' then the gate will open."]

"That's it..."

Alvin then went to the 5th floor and went into the toilet and opened the gate there.

......................

At first Alvin imagined going into a place like a Dungeon. But, after he entered the small magic gate, he turned out to move into a hologram room in which also contained two hologram creatures resembling robots.

Seeing the two hologram creatures as opponents, of course Alvin immediately snorted in annoyance.

"A hologram creature again."

He was quite traumatized to fight with a hologram creature that seemed to have been very well programmed to fight. They could use magic energy combined with fighting techniques very well. It was really troublesome for him.

If told to choose, he preferred to fight against dozens of monsters at once who fought in a row.

The thing that made him dislike opponents like this the most was that they lacked blood and muscle tissue which made him unable to fight using poison skills.

"Are you going to help this time?"

["Sure. Since I'm not fighting, I'll help you when you're almost dead. I said it, right? You still have two chances to use the hidden power of the System."]

"That's all?"

["Other than you expected?"]

"Didn't you come with the slogan 'I am the Hunter System of the future that will help you blah blah blah'. But you didn't even help me when I was facing an opponent that was hard to beat!"

["I never said it. Bimi said that."]

"..."

["And again, I've helped you."]

"Not at all."

["Take off all your sets of armor and swords."]

"Why?"

["Because it's one of my help."]

"..."
