The Demon Hunter
Chapter 05: Spiritual Strength

Albert stepped forward to block Riki's steps by stretching out his hands.

"It's too late but I say congratulations on joining the Agency for the Countermeasure of the Occult Attack"

Against his exaggerated style, Riki smiled wryly.

"In the future please change the name, it would be better if the name is only a stealth hunter, which is now really not suitable" said Riki while walking past Albert.

"That's impossible, it's hard to change names, wait, don't ignore me."

They finally reached the main base.

It was a spacious room with a luxurious interior, at the very end there was a large computer screen on which showed the condition of the entire city through the camera.

Not only that screen was able to attract his attention, Riki was distracted by the person sitting in front of him.

Someone he knew was eating ice cream in his hand. As he turned his chair towards Riki, he smiled according to his age.

"Nina," that's her name.

"Well, Riki, you're cured, apparently, it's good to see you here."

"Thank you, I guess."

The person sitting on the sofa also spoke with the book in his hand, it was a strange arrangement where the sofa was placed in this room like a living room.

"I'm grateful for you too."

"I don't really need those words from you."

"His cruelty...why am I the only one considered evil here?"

Nina put her shoulder up in return before continuing.

"From here I'm going to have a serious talk with Riki, please don't interrupt yah."

"Do it."

Suddenly according, Riki suspects Mai's changing attitude but for now she puts it aside and looks back at Nina.

"Uncle Albert, did uncle explain all spiritual knowledge to Riki?"

"Not yet."

"I guess, let me explain it" Nina said as she scooped up her ice cream.

At this moment Nina looked not a little girl but a mature female figure. Nina was actually older than him.

Nina squinted her eyes at the surprised Riki.

"Before that, I want to make sure first. You're not a lolicon, are you?"

"Buakhahaha," the voice came from Mai.

"What's Mai?"

"It's nothing, the story is funny," Mai replied briefly.

"That's a love story not a comedy" Albert watched as he spoke.

"I think it's funny, funny, funny, funny, no, no, that's the rule."

Not wanting to argue any further Albert dropped his shoulders limp before turning to Riki.

"Lolicon is arguably someone who likes underage girls."

"I'm not that kind of person" he said clearly.

"Now I can breathe a sigh of relief by the way I'm 18 years old."

Riki was obviously surprised by that.

"Now that we get to the point, Riki knows that our opponent is a demon... supernatural beings that usually resemble half animals or other strange creatures and only those with spiritual power can defeat them."

Riki nodded steadily.

"Basically spiritual power is divided into two, the first is spiritual power that gives ability and the second, the power that strengthens the five senses, let it be easier to understand Mai please show your strength."

"Okay, look good."

As Riki looked at Mai at that moment she disappeared.

It was not just a quick movement but something that was difficult to accept common sense.

"Please look here."

Riki turned her gaze in the direction Nina had asked.

In front of the computer precisely on one of the city's cameras, Mai was already standing there, a moment after Mai returned to where she was before.

Only one word he could say.

"Teleportation."

"True, that is the spiritual energy that gives the ability..teleportation, telekenesis, psychometry, and the like are included in it, usually only one ability for one person, different if the spiritual strengthening of the five senses, psychometrics, and the like are included in it, they are able to use their bodies restricted to normal even to the point of being able to see spirits, just like you have."

"You can figure it out?"

"Of course, not only that Riki can also hit any object from a distance, right?"

"I can't deny it, I once threw a stone to hit the fruits of the neighbors and hit the target."

"That's called a thief."

"I did it when I was a kid, okay."

Riki moved his gaze to Albert who was standing beside him.

"Don't you too?"

"I'm just a normal human being."

"It's disappointing, isn't it?" cut Mai without glancing towards her superior.

"Oi."

"Joking, kidding."

Riki and Nina exchanged glances, for some reason she couldn't believe that she was younger than him.

"I've also made a weapon suitable for you."

Nina turned to her computer screen, typed something on top of the keybord and then a box came out of the open floor.

"Aren't these firearms?"

"Yes, the one you're holding is a long anti-material gun, PGM Hecate II with a caliber of 50, bullet speed of 825 m/s, weight of 13.8 kg, I made it to match the original.... while the other weapons are only pistols and revolvers. You like her?"

"It's so cool."

"If there's another request don't hesitate to tell me, I can make it."

"I'll think about it another time but I can't use this yet."

"I've taken care of it" the answer was Albert.

He looked at his phone for a moment then muttered.

"It's time he showed up."

Simultaneously a woman appeared from behind the open door, she was wearing a military uniform that matched her.
