The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
187. The village is intact
The village I left behind, nothing has changed since I left it.
The same people, the same house, the same crowd, and everything that was still the same, I could remember everything that was in this village.
"Sky! Want to get drunk together?"
Heh?! Just got drunk together?!
"Sky! You haven't paid your boiled noodle debt!"
Oh yeah, I forgot...
"Sky! There's ripe mangoes at Uncle Dadang's house, let's steal it together!"
"He's a very strong Hunter, you can't ask him to do anything weird anymore!"
"But he is thirteen years old! Clearly he still had his ignorant side!"
Well, how do I explain it... Before my grandfather died, I often played with my friends in the village, also doing some obscenity, one of which was stealing mangoes from others.
"Come on!" I screamed before someone pulled my ear.
"You're an important person now! How could you do such a stupid thing!" the grandfathers pulled my ears and shouted loudly.
Adudamu! Pain ey!
Some of the people who swarmed over me laughed out loud, because I am the SS rank Hunter can only be quietly picked up by old grandparents.
***
I paid my boiled noodle debt at the stall, bought some snacks, bought a cold drink, and did one mess, which was to steal people's mangoes.
After that I went to my grandfather's house, along with one person named Budi.
Budi is a teenager who often proposes stupid things to other children, he dreams of becoming a Hunter, but unfortunately none of his family allows him to become a Hunter. As a result, he became a teenager who often did stupid things at the age of seventeen years.
"Sir, if you want to become a Hunter, you can come with me to RedWhite." I said as I opened the gate, "Hmm, it's not locked..."
"Villagers often clean your grandfather's house, and at least you don't need to clean up after a long journey" said Budi.
I nodded, and I went in and went to the tap near the house and washed my hands, feet, then washed my face. Brother Budi did the same.
After that I knocked on the door and then entered, and the memories after memories that I went through with my grandfather in this house began to arrive little by little.
Chairs and televisions where we used to argue about what to watch, tables that left my grandfather's mark if he was upset to see his favorite football team make a mistake, he said, a well-organized dining table where we usually eat together, and much more.
"The grave of your grandfather was crowded with residents, when yesterday the day of Indonesian independence, the grave of your grandfather was visited by all villagers." said Budi.
And I remembered something...
"How does this village still stand? Though remote in the interior of Java?" askaku while staring at Budi.
"There was one Hunter who came here after you left the village. He introduced himself as Vein Ardhana, an S rank Hunter from RedWhite. He also said that he was born in this village and went to Jakarta to become a Hunter" he replied, "I say, he is very strong..."
Hooh, is he stronger or am I?
I looked at Brother Budi, I put my hand in my suit bag and then put something on the table.
Handguns.
"Well?!" brother Budi jumped back until the chair fell and he fell on the floor, "What is that?!"
"That's a gun, how could you not know it.." I picked it up again and handed it to Brother Budi, "Nih, point it at me."
Brother Budi stood up, he received the gun I gave and then pointed it at me, but I raised my hand and brushed it down.
"Slow." I said, and Brother Budi was surprised, "You're too slow, your movements can still be clearly read."
Brother Budi lowered his head and then took another gun, "What do you tell me to hold the gun if you pull it over?" he pointed a gun at me.
I brushed off the gun he was pointing at and said again, "Reflexes, decision-making ability, instinct, all of that is the basis of being a Hunter. If you don't understand the basics, then you better back off with your dream."
Budi's face looked surprised, he took his gun again slowly, and I raised my leg to kick him, but he was able to dodge.
"This you mean?" brother Budi stood up then put the gun on, "I can do it!"
I lowered my head and touched his knee, until he fell down and I grabbed his gun and pointed it at him.
"It's still slow" I said, and Brother Budi stood up quickly and then tried to snatch the gun from my hand.
I threw him to the side and then flicked his forehead until he staggered back.
Brother Budi held onto his forehead and he clucked in annoyance, "Cih, it's hard..."
I turned around and took both of my suitcases outside and entered again, where Brother Budi was already standing at the door and he pointed a gun.
"Ah.." My left hand moved quickly grabbed the right hand of Budi's brother who was holding the gun then kept it away and my right hand grabbed the face of Budi's leg until he fell sitting down.
"Akh!" sister Budi screamed, and I took off my grip on her face, "Sick!"
"If you want, I can help you become a Hunter" I said, and the face of Brother Budi who was initially in pain turned into enthusiasm.
"Eh? Are you serious about your words?" ask her, and I nodded.
"With my position as RedWhite's vice-chairman, I can make you a Hunter without the need for exams, of course it all depends on your own abilities." I opened my suitcase and stared at the two swords and one pair of iron gloves inside, "You can now decide what weapon to wear..."
Brother Budi stood up and looked at my suitcase, "Is this the firearm the Hunters used to fight the Monsters?"
"Yes, this is a firearm, there are two types of firearms that are distinguished by their strike distance.." I explained about the firearm, and he nodded while listening carefully.
My day in the village I spent teaching Budi brother the basics of being a Hunter, as well as occasionally interacting with the villagers.

"No, it's been two years since Budi became Hunter rank S in RedWhite, and he set a record as a Hunter who was late to training but was able to catch up and become a Hunter rank S at nineteen years old." I said, and the woman in front of me nodded slowly.
"So, what was the impression and message after you became the youngest vice-chairman of RedWhite in the world?" ask the woman in front of me, and somehow, since she talked to me she always used a very formal call.
"Fuck Vina, can you use a more casual call? The conversation would feel tense if you called me that.." I grimaced, and the woman in front of me just smiled broadly with her innocent face.
