The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
105. Jakarta - Arc 4 - The End
"Uncle Lein, is it morning?" I opened my eyes slowly while glancing at Uncle Lein who was still driving the car.
"You can say that." replied Uncle Lein then I heard him say again, "The signatory stone has been seen..."
Uncle Lein said, every big city must have a marker stone that is about a few meters from the city, to show that there is a big city nearby. The capital of Indonesia is Jakarta, one of them.
I still remember Lein's words and after hearing them, all my drowsiness disappeared and my eyes opened wide, "Jakarta is a little more!"
Yeah, I've been waiting for our arrival in Jakarta, and I've forgotten how many days have passed since we left town 6, maybe a week? I don't know...
"And we arrived in Jakarta to coincide with the founding day of RedWhite and Indonesian independence." said Lein again, "Now it is August 17..."
Ah, yes, August 17 is the date of Indonesian independence as well as the date of the establishment of the Indonesian pride Hunter organization, namely RedWhite.
"Not once, our arrival to Jakarta coincides with the two big days?" Andhika appeared next to me, "Maybe the capital is crowded right now."
"But first we have to take care of the registration problem..." Rei said, "Remember what we will do in Jakarta."
I said, Rei is really serious with his intention of becoming a Hunter. One minute he didn't go through without reading the notebook I gave him, which is the hereditary notebook of Uncle Antha's teacher.
Every time I looked back, Rei always read the book, and one time he closed the book and challenged me to fight with the reason he wanted to try the tricks he thought when reading the book, and end his defeat.
During the journey as well, no Monsters came close, and he said system, all Monsters who intend to attack us in fear felt the aura of the Fire King I emitted.
Although the Fire Lord's passive skill is still level 3, but the air of my existence is enough to make the Monster fear closer? Am I that scared?
"Now that you get ready, uncle will drive the car faster so that you can see the atmosphere of celebration of Indonesian independence and the establishment of RedWhite in the capital." said uncle Lein and exclaimed, "Handle!"
***
Despite the great celebration in the capital, the guard at the entrance remained not one bit less, even tighter.
Those of us who entered the car were intercepted and barred from entering on suspicion of being******, but after Lein's uncle showed her Hunter's license card and medal, she said, andhika who showed me a sealed letter from the RedWhite branch in Denpasar, we were allowed to enter.
The lively atmosphere of the city was filled with red and white welcoming us as we entered the city, and red and white flags fluttered in the various corners of the city, the report said, and the flag with the symbol of the garuda bird in red and white is juxtaposed with the red and white flag, making the atmosphere even more festive for me.
Only one word could describe that atmosphere to me...
"Cool!!!"
Wow, I love to see red and white in various places, and I put my head out through the car window so that the view outside is clear
It was fortunate that Uncle Lein understood what I was going to do, so he drove the car slowly.
And when I looked out, I saw a woman with a familiar face in my memory, the woman who escaped the destruction of Surabaya with me.
"Senja, she looks more mature than before." I muttered as I saw her, "Does she remember me?"
***
Uncle Lein took us past the state palace, and as we passed by, a flag ceremony was being conducted, with rows of soldiers lined up in his courtyard.
"Waw.." me, Andhika, and Rei were amazed to see it.
The part when the red and white flag is unfurled by TNI members and pulled up by the army accompanied by the Indonesian national anthem is the coolest and greatest part that I always liked in the series of flag ceremonies commemorating the day indonesian Independence.
"You stopping?" uncle Lein asked, and I nodded quickly.
Uncle Lein stopped his car and pointed to the courtyard of the state palace, "You want to take a closer look?"
I nodded, and I heard the sound of the door opening in the back, before Andhika and Rei were already outside with a big smile.
Me and Uncle Lein got out of the car and walked over to the fence of the state palace, because we saw that the entrance was guarded by a Hunter who was not a lower rank Hunter, but a direct S rank Hunter, it was said directly by Lein's uncle, so he was a bit hesitant to bring us into the courtyard of the state palace despite the identity of Lein's uncle who was a Hunter though.
Said Lein's uncle, the two S rank Hunters guarding the entrance are Si Dua Taring Ardika Rajasa and Si Palu Purple Antonio Werdio. They are classified as often on television and their achievements are quite a lot, and they are quite famous in the world.
By the way, Antonio Werdio was one of the Hunters who had defeated uncle Lein, and now uncle Lein wanted to train hard in order to defeat him.
We were standing near the fence, looking at the red and white flag that was brought near the flagpole, ready to fly.
My eyes that could see beyond people in general noticed the figure standing in front of the army, and his face I knew, even I had spoken to him.
"The person standing in front of the army was Frans Andreas, the current chairman of the RedWhite Hunter organization. There are rumors that he is the Hunter equivalent to the SS Hunter rank of IronBlast, Esterosa de Esquede, and his promotion to SS Hunter rank has been taken into account by the IHO."
IHO is the world Hunter organization, where they are in charge of overseeing the movement of all Hunter organizations in the world, they are also in charge of determining the dangerous level of a gate and a Monster, and they have the right to promote a Hunter to become a Hunter rank SS or SSS rank.
The organization is engaged under direct UN direction and they are allowed to move on their own if the situation does not allow to wait for the UN decision, in contrast to the Hunter organization, where every other Hunter organization movement needs approval from the IHO first can move, even if it is an emergency situation.
"Every time I look at him, Frans always looks handsome wherever he is, even when he is relaxing though, amazes me." said uncle Lein, and I agree.
A red-and-white flag was unfurled by a soldier, and two other soldiers put their strings up to the end, accompanied by a national anthem.
Uncle Frans who stood at the front row gave the command a position of respect, and all the soldiers and all the officials of the country saluted the flag, as did the four of us who were outside the field.
Some vehicles passing through the streets stopped when the national anthem accompanying the red and white flag rose to the end of the flagpole, saluting the flag, some riders even sang.
After the flag was pulled up, all the riders of the vehicle resumed their journey and we stayed in place, watching again.
The next process is a welcome from the president of Indonesia that I do not know what his name is, hehehe...
After that was a welcome from Uncle Frans who spoke from his place, but no longer wearing a standing position like an army, he stood relaxed. He talked about the struggle of Indonesia is not yet finished, he also encouraged the Hunters to fight better to give Indonesia a freedom.
After the speech of Frans' uncle, the next is the gift of grace to certain people who have made the best achievements in the country.
And the name of Hunter who just gave a speech appeared in the name of certain people who gave the best achievements to the country that today got his promotion.
"Frans Andreas was appointed an SS Hunter rank by the IHO based on chairman Neil's decision on August 15, 2326." it seems the IHO representative gave his medal directly to Frans' uncle, and somehow I feel like I'm going to be in that position someday.
Well, as Uncle Lein said, my road is long, I have a lot to go through, everything I've been through now, it's just the beginning...
