The Story of Demon Hunter

Feeling Impatient

“Mari return.”

After a walk to check the surrounding area, Arthur invites Nanami back.

“Good, Master.”

Despite answering obediently, Nanami's expression changed. He did not seem as excited as before. The girl became even more quiet. It seems that the scene where many miners are treated inhumanely and tortured changes their view of the world.

Now that the bird in the cage had finally realized, the outside world was not as beautiful as it seemed.

Walking beside Nanami, Arthur reached out his hand and stroked his head gently. The girl was flinched, but did not dodge or refuse. Just enjoying the warmth of the hand above his head in silence.

“You don't have to worry. If you have the power, even if you can't change the world, you can still change the situation of the kingdom.”

“En.”

Nanami nodded. A determined expression appeared on his face. He then looked towards Arthur who stopped stroking his head and asked.

“How about you, Teacher? I hear your talent is amazing, one of the few figures with top talent. Do you have any plans to change the world?”

Looking at his disciple's expectant eyes, Arthur displayed a gentle smile. He then shrugged his shoulders while answering casually.

“I have absolutely no noble ideals like saving the world, but also do not have ambitious ideals like mastering the world.”

Nanami was confused. Under normal circumstances, normally a figure who possessed such talent should have a great purpose. But looking at her quiet teacher, the girl felt shocked and amazed.

“Then, what do you want to do, Guru?”

“I?”

Arthur tilted his head. Looking towards his disciple who was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, he smiled then replied.

“Easy to come, easy to go .. Big goal or whatever, I feel like life can go on even if I don't have it.

Keep walking where the wind will bring, keep treading on top of the world and under the space .. All I do in the future is try to enjoy various types of beauty.

Like a jewel hiding in the ground we plow, like a pearl hiding in the bottom of a dark ocean, it may not be visible ...

However, there must be beauty in this gloomy and dust-covered world.”

After saying that, Arthur walked away leaving Nanami who looked dazed. Sensing the shocked and adoring gaze of his disciple, the young man was satisfied. Even he himself was quite impressed with his bragging. Arthur even thinks he is fit to be a politician who is good at bragging and spreading false promises.

‘...’

Gluttony who heard his master's boast completely fell silent.

‘Hihihi ..’

The laughter of black koi and white koi echoed in Arthur's mind. The two of them and Gluttony knew that their master's dream was definitely not such beautiful things. You could say, even more ambitious than the other geniuses.

If they wanted to obtain the dragon or phoenix bloodline, at best make a contract and become the companion of such powerful beings, then their master's wish was to taste the dragon's flesh. Even the young man was curious whether the phoenix was really just a flame that kept spinning in a cycle that made the creature immortal, or was actually a type of bird that could control terrifying flames. Of course, Arthur must have hoped that the phoenix was a type of fowl.

‘Hey! Why are you laughing? Is what I said not cool? Why do I suddenly feel ashamed of my own words? It feels .... is it a bit embarrassing?’

Arthur dumbfounded. She really felt embarrassed when being laughed at by Yin-Yang Koi.

Only, Arthur did not know that his words were like oil that made Nanami's spirit glow stronger. It even changed the girl's view of her life and her life goals during this time.

Finished breakfast together, Masanobu glanced towards the three temporary teammates who were sitting while enjoying their tea.

“Do you guys rest well?”

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Masanobu. I feel very good today.” Kijimura replied with a friendly smile on her face.

“I also feel good.”

The stubborn man known as Mitsusaru said in a deep voice.

Looking towards the three of them, Arthur blinked. Faced with the three old men, he really felt out of place. But somehow, the young man felt quite attracted to Misusaru after knowing her name.

‘Mitsu means water, saru means monkey/ape. Water monkey?’

Asking that question in his head, he was stunned. Looking at the old man, Arthur somehow felt that his appearance was a little similar to that of a monkey. The young man hurriedly shook his head.

Mitsusaru's face turned dark. Although she did not know why Arthur turned to her, she felt that the man was thinking something rude about her. His mood suddenly fell to a low point.

“Do you have anything to say, Mr Ryuma?”

“Ah! No.” Arthur shook his head. “I'm just a little curious. If not wrong, you have water type qi energy, right?”

“Yes. I have water type qi energy.” Mitsusaru. “If you may know, how about you, Mr Ryuma?”

“Of course you can. Shouldn't we work together? That means we should at least know the abilities of our teammates, right?”

Arthur smiled before explaining.

“I have fire type qi energy. Whereas I myself have specialized in sword techniques and have little achievement in the field of foot movements. Arguably, I am an attacker-type fighter who relies more on fire-type destructive power coupled with speed.”

Of course, Arthur did not say that he also studied the arts of defense, boxing, and palm.

Hearing ‘honesty’ Arthur, three old men felt that the young man was indeed smart, but still too innocent and had not seen the world. In the end, they decided to explain.

“Water type. I am more reliable with palm and defense skills. The kind of person who often plays a role in defense and restricts the movement of enemies.” Mitsusaru said calmly.

“Wind type. Similar to Mr. Ryuma, I also use a sword and focus in quick attacks.” Kijimura smiled kindly.

“Type api. Despite using the sword, I am more reliable in boxing. My focus is destructive attacks. Although not too fast, my attack is notoriously heavy.” Masanobu said with a proud tone.

Hearing that, Arthur nodded with a friendly smile on his face. After which, the four of them discussed suitable strategies to use against Ground Dragon.

***

In the afternoon, the four of them headed to the location.

After having the juniors stay and train, they went straight into the mine, Arriving at the inner area, they stopped in front of a large hole. This place was accidentally dug. Deep down there was the nest of Ground Dragon that made all four of them bother to come and cooperate.

Standing in front of the huge hole, Arthur involuntarily raised his face. Feeling the cold wind from there, the young man thought.

‘Ground Dragon .. I really can't wait to see it!’
