The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
168. Report and bad views
"That's all I can report, Neil..." Tom said as he put his hands into his pants pocket, "I'm sure that the boy has surpassed Yuuki at such a young age..."
"I need the answer..." Neil held his chin up with his right fist, "How are you going to answer about the deaths of dozens of Hunters this afternoon?"
Tom closed his eyes, "It happened because of the lack of command in the army that they had no direction and acted as they pleased, I'm ready to accept the punishment."
Although he is a Hunter rank SSS who is touted to hold the military command and strength of the Hunter organization around the world, he still will not dwell if in front of him is Neil Andero, the leader of the IHO.
If likened, Tom is the general while Neil is the king, so the person who has the right to govern the Hunters including Hunter rank SSS is Neil Andero. Tom's position only helps Neil take care of Hunter's army and the military.
"I won't punish you, I'm just asking for the answer..." Neil put both his hands on the table, "So your answer is the lack of command in the army, which means you're just focused on fighting, right?"
Tom nodded, "Right..."
"The loss due to the Raid this time is not too severe compared to the loss when the Icelandic Raid, it can be understood that at that time all the Hunters in the C-140 Hercules came against the Serpent Lord, which is understood, so the Hunter-Hunters were an easy meal for the snake, but now, you're focusing the Hunters on the outer side of Zone 9 and Zone 10, so you can focus on fighting Emperors without having any trouble fighting against Emperors while protecting other low ranked Hunters."
"I'm sure that's the reason why the Serpent Lord is hard to finish even if you've intervened, is that it?" ask Neil, and Tom nodded.
"Another problem is that you want his Sky Star grandson to be an SS rank Hunter, right? Can you explain why again?" neil asked, and Tom's face immediately became serious as Neil discussed it.
"The Sky's ability is immense, he has helped us in fighting the Ice Emperor, his contribution in the Raid this time is huge because he helped us against the Ice Emperor."
"With his current ability, rank A is only a joke if his ability is not taken more seriously."
"Are you sure? Just by the fact that she is the Container won't make me agree to it easily, I need proof..." Neil flicked his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not not taking the promotion request, I'm neutral, I also have to think about the reaction of the other Hunters and the public if Hunter is as young as Sky to be an SS rank Hunter."
"Hunter rank SS at the age of twelve? Come on, it must have made the public feel that Sky was utilizing its status as the grandson of an SS rank Hunter named Sky Star..."
The reaction of society obviously made Neil difficult to accept, Tom said.
"I can make Heaven fight Yuuki, the youngest SS rank Hunter in the ranks of the SS rank Hunter. I can't suggest another SS rank Hunter, because Yuuki's ability is best suited against the Sky." Tom replied, trying to make Neil believe him.
"Duel between knights, huh? I can, I'll let it..." Neil smiled, "As long as they fight, I'll look for other info, other than Heaven is part of the Satria family..."

The morning in America after the Raid was exhausting, but I had to get up, because today will be announced on the matter of the next test.
The exam was postponed to an undetermined time due to the Canadian Raid, but the Canadian Raid was completed in a short period of time, and that certainly made Tom Cage as the head of StarSam Hunter Academy think about the exam again.
"Sky, wake up, even though you're tired you have to come to class today." Andhika's soft voice rang out, and I woke up immediately.
"Good done, hey Rei! I managed to wake up the Sky!" Andhika who was standing next to my bed was jumping around in excitement.
Oh, just the puckiness of those two anyway...

Grade 1-A...
"Hey, isn't that the sky? The kid who made the test had to be postponed?"
"Although he was the most active child in the class, I still could not believe that he could go against the rules of the exam."
"He was said to have been brought by the Fire Monster, and when examined he emitted heat..."
"Then, could it be that Heaven is an ally of Monsters?"
"If he is, then he is the main threat because we know that the Monster has an ally on earth..."
There was a lot of gossip in the classroom, even I heard from other classes that I was the cause of the postponed exam and made the Canadian Raid have to be done just to find me.
I don't care about it, the most important thing is that when they're asleep relaxing in their room, playing games with their friends, I fight in Canada with my friends and the SS rank Hunters, I fight in Canada, so I can see that me and them are different.
"They can only talk about things that aren't true about you." Lee Shin sat in front of me, "How did you respond to that?"
"Let it be, after all, I have fought bravely, in contrast to those who would have chosen to flee when they saw a large monster like a black giant yesterday" I replied, "Let me say so, even if I do so, I won't be able to get rid of people's bad views of me..."
"Ah yes, you fought alongside the SS rank Hunters and the Tom Cage against that ice monster." Lee Shin nodded, "I must admit, I have no regrets about tightening my friendship with you, since I chose to help out to Canada, I can see your true strength."
"I've been told something by my mother, you don't have to listen to what's bad about you that people say, you're yourself, you know better about yourself."
"You don't have to listen to bad words from other people, never, you just have to believe in yourself, if you're better than them."
This Lee Shin, I noticed he was more mature than before, so he could say so...
He smiled and said, "What about your firearms?"
Ah yes, the Black Fire Sword, the Demonic Dragon Sword, and the Fire Chicken Claw did not suffer much damage, yesterday after landing in New Washington, my father asked for all my fire weapons and he said he would fix them.
"Ah, it's being repaired by a firearm expert, he said there's a little damage, but it's not too severe, besides I'm depleting all my firearm's hot gas, so the repair might be long-lasting..." I answered while scratching my head.
"That's it..." Lee Shin nodded, and we sat in silence.
Shortly after, my father came and Lee Shin was allowed to return to his seat, and after all the disciples had sat in his place, my father made his announcement.
"According to the results of the meeting of the head of the academy and the teachers of the lesson, the exam will be continued with a written exam, and thereafter will be followed by a one-on-one practice exam between students. His schedule will follow." said my father, and he folded his hands, "And there is also an addition for a child here..."
"For the disciple named Sky Satria, asked to come to the training room as soon as possible. He has affairs with the academy chief, so come as soon as possible. That's it, the rest of you can go home." After that my father left the class.
