The Legendary Sword Heir

Vacancy to Become a Hunter

The man in armor who had been looking at Tatsuya was a little surprised by what was before him. He saw Tatsuya's potential during the use of his sword.

"Is this really the first time he's held a sword?" the man's mind while frowning and astonishment.

"Ughhh!" Tatsuya pushed the sword he held in front of the goblin.

"Kiiiii!" A shrill voice came out from the monster's mouth, making Tatsuya a little frightened. Moreover, the goblin's blood dripped on Tatsuya's face as his sword stuck right in the monster's heart and penetrated all the way back, making Tatsuya even more frightened.

Quickly, Tatsuya pulled out his sword again and saw the monster fall in front of Tatsuya drenched in blood. Tatsuya's breath hunted, and saw that the sword he was carrying was covered in the creature's blood.

Tatsuya dropped his sword and looked at his two dirty hands and that much monster blood. Suddenly, the man in armor approached Tatsuya and took his sword.

"good job. Come in, don't do it inside! If you want to kill even more monsters like this, look for me around the exit gate of this shelter," the man concluded, cleaning his sword with a cloth, then put it back in his sword sheath. "My name is Toru, remember that. You will definitely need him" continued the man while helping Tatsuya stand up.

Tatsuya grabbed the hand and quickly stood up, then was invited into the emergency shelter.

"Ta–but Mr. Toru. If we put him inside, it will definitely be a mess!" turn down one of the guards.

"He is the same man as us. Don't be like those people!" This is the first time anyone has defended Tatsuya.

After being submissive and afraid of Toru, Tatsuya was allowed to enter and join the others. He got the same place as the others. Along the way as he was about to occupy that new place, many of the villagers looked at him continuously with sharp eyes, as if disgusted and afraid of Tatsuya.

However, Tatsuya tried not to think about it and kept looking straight ahead and looking for an empty spot. Actually, he was worried about the child he had brought with him. He had not met the little boy again, hoping that he would be in a safe place.

Until it looks like a mattress made of hay and wrapped in cloth, it stops right on the mattress.

"So seriously can I sleep in this place?" inner Tatsuya who felt himself did not deserve this kind treatment.

Tatsuya let out a long sigh and instantly laid his body in that place.

"Let's! So good this bed!" inner Tatsuya.

Because for 25 years in his life, he only this time felt a comfortable bed, usually the night wind and also the cold streets under the bridge, becoming a place for Tatsuya to rest himself for a moment.

As she was laying down her body, Tatsuya heard a familiar voice.

"Brothers!"

Tatsuya immediately got up and looked to the right and left, looking for the source of the sound. Until he saw the little boy he was carrying was running towards Tatsuya. The man immediately smiled when he saw the child survived.

"You okay?" tatsuya asked as the little man was in Tatsuya's arms.

"Yes! I was given clothes and also a decent place on the other end, it turned out that my friends were there too! Thank you so much for your help, brother!" The little boy looked much cleaner than before. Even the clothes have changed and become more neat.

"Good then. Sorry for freaking you out yesterday. Now you just play there, no need to care about me," Tatsuya rubbed the little boy's head.

"I'm Rei. I was told by the guards that my mama wouldn't be here, was that right?" Rei looked sad as he said that.

Tatsuya let out a long sigh, he could no longer divert the conversation or lie, because the boy had the right to know what was really going on.

"It's okay, Brother. I'm just thankful. My sister did so well to strengthen me. I'm not angry at all." Rei smiled sweetly.

Tatsuya saw it immediately joined in smiling and feeling proud of the little boy he had brought just now. Since Rei had been inside for a long time, Rei took Tatsuya for a walk in the emergency shelter.

The atmosphere there is also quite moving, because many people lose friends, couples, and even their own families because of being slaughtered by monsters.

Tatsuya let out a long sigh and felt pity for what happened.

"It's brother!" Rei gave the leaflet to Tatsuya.

"Hm? What'sthis?" Tatsuya took the paper and looked at it.

"So many children handed out the paper to some people! So I gave it to my sister! Hihi."

Tatsuya looks at the paper leaflet, sees a job opening to become a hunter, and looks for volunteers to fight monsters.

"Working as a Hunter?" tatsuya.

Looking at the leaflet, Tatsuya recalled the Toru he had met at the entrance gate of this shelter. The payment obtained was quite a lot, maybe even Tatsuya could live like ordinary people after successfully defeating many monsters.

"I heard, the hunter's on duty to look after humans, right?" tatsuya asked Rei who seemed to know a lot.

"Hmm, I heard from my father, if being a hunter is a tough exercise. Since my father was not used to using the sword as well, my father eventually stopped being a hunter and decided to leave," the little boy replied.

Now, Tatsuya understood what Toru said earlier, it turned out that this meant.

"Rey! I have to go see my friend. You slept huh? Isn't it time to go to sleep?" tatsuya asks who intends to go see Toru again. "Thank you for talking to me so much" Tatsuya continued, as if it was their last meeting.

"Are you going to go long?" Rei seemed to have understood this situation. Tatsuya nodded his head and smiled at the man who saved his life. "Well then, brother! Don't forget me, brother! You must stay healthy and return safely!" said the little boy with a smile and waved his hand at Tatsuya, while going away.

However, when Tatsuya reached the place that Toru had said he could not stop thinking badly.

"Am I this mediocre could be a hunter? People's trust is hard to find, "inner Tatsuya.

Until Tatsuya reached the gate that Toru was talking about.

"Oh! You came so quickly!" toru said, as if waiting for Tatsuya.

"A–how can I also follow this job?" tatsuya asked Toru bluntly.

"of course! I've been looking forward to this since!" Toru seemed happy and immediately embraced the man, pulling the man's body as he walked out of the shelter through a small gate beside him.

"What does that mean?" Tatsuya seemed confused by Toru's intentions.

"Later you'll know...."

The man told Tatsuya nothing and just took Tatsuya away from there.
