The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
31. Vigil
My breakfast was just bananas and water, after which I was taken out of the house and when I saw the sky, it felt like I wanted to kick my grandfather.
"Why is it still dark?!" I screamed loudly while pulling my hair.
"Oh, it's only half six in the morning, you woke up five in the morning and you had breakfast for a long time!" My grandfather scratched his ear, "It's lazy for the younger generation..."
"I'm not lazy, but sleepy!" I stomped my feet then exclaimed again, "I'm sleeping!"
I turned around and intended to run back home, but my steps stopped because my ears were pulled.
"Heh, where are you going?" My grandfather pulled my ear, "You run, then you die at the hands of the Monster."
I swallowed my saliva and turned around, "Yes, grandfather..."
My grandfather pulled me up and said, "I'll train you..."
I sat down and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Of course, train you..." My grandfather walked into the middle of the courtyard, "Let's go..."
I followed and stood in the middle of the courtyard, then asked, "Then?"
"You know push ups?" ask grandpa. I nodded, because I knew that sport.
The push up is... No need to explain, everyone knows... In essence, this push up my grandfather said is useful for training my arm muscles to be stronger than before.
If the school is normal, I am usually told to push up ten times. Grandpa's version...
"Push up fifty times!"
"Sit up fifty times!"
"Plank one minute!"
"Run around the page five times!"
"Squat fifty times!"
"Pull over the bucket of rocks in the well fifty times!"
Asemm, is this training or killing?! My grandfather feels like a fine killer like this!
"Do it until ten in the morning!" My grandfather said firmly, "Grandfather will wait on the porch."
Asem! Grandpa's sitting!
For starters, I choose to run so that my body sweats a little and so that my body is not surprised when it will push up directly 50 times and so on. Simply put, I'm warming up...
I ran around the courtyard until the sun started to appear from the east, it felt... Ah, it feels like a long time...
"Stop, it's been five times!" My grandfather stopped me and stood up, "We stretch the muscles first..."
My grandfather raised both his hands and said, "Follow grandfather..."
I followed my grandfather and when I followed him, it was so fresh!
Various movements were exhibited by my grandfather and I began to feel, my grandfather is really great when training someone...

The sun began to move overhead, as I finally finished the sit-up a hundred times.
Hah, it feels so good when exercising so hard. I'm even sure I'm healthy now!
"Okay, you've made it beyond Grandpa's mind, but Grandpa thought you'd give up on hearing the count." My grandfather sighed, "Truly beyond belief..."
Although I exhaled a sigh of relief, actually my breathing was irregular...
Imagine, the body that usually exercises lightly such as push ups ten times, sit ups ten times, run around the field three times, and sometimes play ball with friends, now exercise very heavily!
"Well... Weighty..." I catch my breath, "Let's be so, it feels good that I've gone beyond grandfather's mind..."
"Well, the same training you're going to do for the first two months, then we're going to train even harder, until it's a hundred." Said my grandfather while drinking the water, "And besides, we will practice swordsmanship..."
When I heard the sword, I felt happy, for some reason I didn't know why.
"You look happy when grandfather says he's going to teach you the sword, you must have a great interest in the sword." Said my grandfather standing up and walked into the house, "Sit's there."
Well, without being told I wouldn't stand, my legs almost broke and couldn't stand. Maybe the effects of training are too hard.
Before long, my grandfather came out with his flagship sword, what was his name? I forgot it, hehehe...
"This sword belongs to one of the Firearms, the weapon that the Hunters use against the Monsters." My grandfather sat next to me, holding up his well-gloved sword, "His name is the Black Flame Sword."
"Black Fire Sword?" I felt strange by the name of that arching sword.
The Black Flame Sword? Grandpa must be kidding, where there's a black fire... If it's a lie, maybe it is...
"Yes, the Black Fire Sword is grandfather's flagship weapon as well as one of the strongest Firearms ranks in the entire world." My grandfather then drew his sword, "The Black Flame Sword Type is a Katana, a sword typical of the Japanese state..."
I nodded, Christo once mentioned about the country of Japan, because Japan is the home country of some powerful Hunter. In fact, the youngest Hunter to become an S rank Hunter that I forgot what his name was, came from Japan.
Hearing Christo's words, I believe that Japan is very good at training its Hunter candidates, until there are people who become Hunter rank S at a very young age.
"But, why is Grandpa wearing this curved sword? Didn't this sword come from abroad?" I asked.
Strange as it may seem, if objects from abroad are held by Indonesians for many years. Was the owner not confused to look for it?
"Oh, it feels complicated, you won't understand it at this small age, so grandfather will continue the explanation of Firearms..." My grandfather shook his hand.
According to my grandfather, Firearms are divided into two types based on their quality, namely the simple version and the best version.
The simple version has a mediocre structure, the material is from Flaming metal which is cheap, and because the material is cheap, the price is also cheap. Because the material is cheap, it can be said that a simple version of Firearms is easily destroyed.
The best version has a more complex structure and the materials that make it up are Flaming metals that are mined directly from Russia and distributed around the world, the price of the material is also very expensive, he said, because the material is expensive, the best version of Firearms has a very expensive price, up to hundreds of millions of rupiah only for one weapon.
"Well, according to the estimates of the Indonesian auction agency, the price of the Black Flame Sword is estimated to reach two billion rupiah, exceeding the Universal Penetrating Spear which previously reached a price of one point nine billion rupiah." My grandfather smiled in horror, "If I sell this sword, maybe I will become a rich man all of a sudden!"
"But well, the most expensive Firearms are still held by the Sky Devourer belonging to the first SSS rank Hunter, the price reaches three hundred and fifty thousand United States Dollars or equivalent to five billion rupiahs! Grandfather can live rich until he can finance all the descendants of grandfather to study!" My grandfather smiled broadly, "Huh, why are powerful weapons always out there?"
I got a little goosebumps hearing that, how about the Chicken Claw Fire being sold by my grandfather for lack of money? Didn't I have my dad's memories?
