The Story of Demon Hunter

Head of Division 10

Arthur holds a badge of unknown material with a beautiful carving, a lotus flower in the middle and four saint beasts on four sides. Genbu at the top, Suzaku at the bottom, Byakko at the left, and Seiryuu at the right. Right in the middle of the lotus flower, there is an inconspicuous ‘X’ inscription.

The young man then dripped his blood onto the badge. Just then, the badge emitted a faint light for a moment, then it returned to normal.

“Jadi ... just like this?”

Arthur looked towards Arima and Tsubaki with a suspicious expression. His views then turned to Chikuwa in the form of a fat akita inu. Seeing the appearance of such a ridiculous and harmless beast made him unable to help but complain inwardly.

‘Does this creature like to pretend to be able to bully its opponent? Really cruel!’

Ignoring Arthur who was so curious about Chikuwa, Arima glanced at Tsubaki. I told the girl to explain.

“Please do not underestimate that badge. Although the terms to use were easy, but it was very valuable and only owned by the division heads.

The badge itself has a variety of effects. As long as you replenish the energy, it can be used to withstand the seven attacks of cultivators at the peak of the golden level. Energy can be replenished, not a disposable device. In addition, such badges can help in cultivation, used for means of communication between division heads, means to convey tasks, and many other functions.”

Hearing that, Arthur felt that the badge in his hand had become heavier. The way he looked at the badge also changed. He really did not expect that such a small object could be so precious. That means, the badge on his hand .. expensive.

“Do not think to sell it.”

Hearing the warning, the corner of Arthur's lips twitched.

“I know!”

Arthur replied in a dissatisfied tone. He had absolutely no desire to sell it. Yeah, except when it went bankrupt, he didn't plan on selling it. Yes ... The thought of making this badge of emergency savings did cross the young man's mind.

“Omong-by the way, why are you guys still here?”

Arthur looked towards Arima, Tsubaki, and Chikuwa who were going around the campfire while waiting for the dishes he cooked to cook. After all, the previous stew was completely inedible due to spilling, exposed to dust, sand, and soil. So in the end he cooked again.

Jotaro himself is resting because he was injured by beating Chikuwa. Of course, he had also been treated with the medicine Tsubaki had given him. Even Arthur asked for money to Arima under the pretext of compensation.

Only Nanami and her mother kept silent, not daring to speak out for fear of the anger of Arima and her partner. They seem to be quite famous.

“Hey, isn't it okay to come over for dinner? We have paid compensation. Besides, we've been hassled looking for you. Couldn't eating together with a senior make a relationship better?”

Arima said in a relaxed tone. Not at all concerned with Arthur's expression. It seemed that all the rejections of the young man were considered invalid.

“So, what should I do? Are there any tips for me? Besides, when will my subordinates come?”

“What branch?” ask Arima.

“Not as the chairman of division 10, the headquarters will send out the person who will be serving under me. Some starter member or something.”

“There is no such thing.”

“You mean?”

“All members, you have to look for it yourself. There's no branch headquarters or anything like that. If you want a place to live, subordinates, and everything else .. you yourself must get it.”

Arthur was stunned for a moment. He then asked, “How about monthly salary?”

“Nothing. You only get paid when you work. That means, the more work you complete, the more results you get. In addition, money and other prizes will be collected and then paid per year when all divisions meet.

Even so, you can rest easy because the leader will not take a penny from your rights.”

“...”

Arthur was completely silent. Although he was also convinced that the income per mission must be high, but everything was really chaotic when he heard that income could only be taken once a year. Although saving was good, being forced to save 100% of salary for one year was already too much!

“Then what about transportation costs or something?”

“Nothing. Can't you fly? Why bother?”

“Then what should I eat if no money?”

“You always get extra money from the residents of the area you saved. In addition, they will also give a banquet. Can eat well.

“...”

Hearing Arima's remarks, Arthur felt the group he joined was somewhat outrageous. It was like gathering several strong people, uniting them in one place, then giving them missions and information. Let everyone behave independently.

It felt .. The title of the division head was really just an empty title!

‘That happened then it happened.’

Not bothering to think about it, Arthur decided to no longer discuss it. Even so, there are many things he wants to talk to Arima about the group he joined.

Without feeling it, time just flows. During this time, Arthur learned a lot.

The group he joined was called the Garden of Death. They were a group of elite cultivators who specialized in hunting down and exterminating monsters, evil spirits, demons, and other evil creatures. However in contrast to the sects that had their own fiefdoms, other than the central headquarters, they were all free.

Even so, the group hunts not to serve the community or the world. Members of the group also do not serve the group. Instead, they hunt for themselves.

The catch, the citizen's gift, the payment of duties, and some of the things they take to strengthen themselves.

The core of the group was the main leader and the ten division heads. The division vice was even considered not so important. As for the members of the division, the leader did not really care about such a thing.

Therefore, division heads generally form their own divisions according to taste. Some have many members, medium, or very few like the 6th division of Arima. Those who had many members did not seem to be inferior to some mid-level sects, almost on par with a top-tier sect. Of course, if the division heads were counted.

At first, each division chairman is required to have a minimum strength of 1-star platinum level. But everything changed twenty years ago when a new division was created. From division 6 to division 10, the chairman is the person the leader considers to have potential.

Now Arima had a strength that was not at all bad among platinum level cultivators. In his own opinion, the 7th division chairman was now at the peak of the gold level and could break through the platinum level at any time. While the last three division heads are still a bit far from platinum level. It may take about ten years to break through that level.

Even so, the 9th division itself was created 5 years ago. According to Arima, the leader actually did not intend to add another division. Arthur is considered an exception, as well as the chairman of the 10th division. The last division leader and the closing.

The next morning after breakfast, they separated.

“See you another day, Junior. I will miss your cooking. Be careful and don't get to die.”

Arima said in a lazy tone before leaving. Tsubaki bowed politely, and Chikuwa barked a few times before leaving.

Arthur knows that Arima is still hiding a lot of things, but at least he knows some important information. For example, the head of the 1st to 6th divisions was at least at platinum level, which he still could not beat right now.

Seeing the two men and one akita inu leave, Arthur and his colleagues went back on their way.

***

A few days passed, and finally Arthur and his companions arrived at Takahide's residence.

“What? Don't you intend to stop by first?”

Hearing that Arthur and Jotaro were about to leave when they had just arrived, Takahide was shocked. At first he did not expect that the young man brought his wife and daughter here. Although it also happened because of his wife's request, but the man was still grateful because Arthur wanted to do it.

“I'm sorry, but I can't stop by.” Arthur shook his head. “Maybe next time?”

“Then I can only eat your cooking next time.”

Takahide smiled gently. He, his wife, and daughter then bowed politely.

“Thank you for your help, Arthur.”

“Thank you guys head. I just do my job, it's a win-win situation. No need to overdo it.”

After saying that, Arthur said again.

“Then we go now.”

Looking towards Arthur and Jotaro who disappeared in the distance, Nanami's expression became even more serious. Both of his hands clenched tightly as he said.

“I will show that I am worthy, Master. Just wait!”
