The Goddess Of War
Chapter 54 - The Graduation Exam

A beautiful Hunter seemed to be surrounded by several Hunters both male and female while the raid team was resting to recover their Mana energy and stamina.

The raid team had just won their battle against the monsters in the last location that were closest to where the Dungeon boss was.

The beautiful Hunter was heard telling the story of his experience when he was still in High School.

The story is very interesting, so all the Hunters who are currently around him listen to the story with great enthusiasm even the fatigue they feel after fighting all out against the monsters before seemed to disappear.

He was indeed a very popular person since he was in formal school, especially when he had been training at Hunter Academy.

Cassey Lloyd, who was telling the story with passion, was a Hunter from the upper class who was very famous for his hospitality, his kindness and weak nature that wants to get along with all the Hunters from the upper, middle, even the lower classes, which is very rarely done Hunter from the upper class today.

His energetic and friendly appearance made everyone around him become enamored with him. Cassey is a magnet that can unite her friends wherever she is.

Cassey, who used to grate her long blonde hair, now looks cute when braiding her hair horse. It was a habit that he did every raid in the Dungeon, as he took training with the Academy's instructors.

The raid that Cassey took this time was the final exam raid that senior students of City C Hunter Academy took, to obtain a graduation certificate and license from Hunter Academy.

After they get a graduation certificate and Hunter license, then the beginner Hunters will step into the world of professional Hunters. They would either join a guild or become an Association Hunter.

°°°

Meanwhile from a place a little far from where the Hunter-hunter Academy students were gathered, an instructor who was resting while eating his provisions, seemed to be watching Cassey closely.

“So long he really looks very good. As impossible can do a very cruel thing.” Think Gina Stewart, who's been watching Cassey.

Gina's been monitoring Cassey's movements for the past 4 days. He even became very amazed by the nature and attitude of Cassey.

From the results of his observations, Cassey is a good friend, Hunter who is deft and very good at working together. He also cares about other Hunters. Abstinence retreated when his team was pressed and even willing to fight until it ran out of Mana energy when it came to protecting his comrades who were on the front lines.

According to Gina's judgment, Cassey seemed flawlessly perfect. Both as a human being who has a high social spirit, as well as a Hunter who can be relied upon in teamwork.

Gus Stevin, an instructor with a B-ranked Tanker class, had been paying attention to Gina Stewart since.

As he could not bear the face of his childhood friend, who looked very seriously at his students, Gus Stevin laughed.

The sound of his laughter was quite loud, making Gina shocked to the point of choking on the drink she had just put in her mouth.

With an annoyed face, Gina turned to Gus Stevin and looked at him sharply.

“Do you remember our youth, Gina?” Ejek Gus Stevin's.

“I'm young, you're old!” Exclaimed Gina with her face reddened.

If Anna sees him, maybe the girl will reassess the nature of Gina that she values as a warm, gentle, friendly and caring person to others.

However, it was only Gus Stevin that Gina Stewart could express her emotions differently. Despite their age gap of 5 years, Gus Stevin is the only friend Gina has.

Gus Stevin's father, who was a close friend of Gina's father, often took Gus Stevin to visit Gina's house since she was 8 and Gus Stevin was 13.

Since then they often play together, train together and they become inseparable friends.

°°°

Gus Stevin left his luggage and approached Gina Stewart.

“What's with the girl?” Ask Gus Stevin who is now sitting next to Gina.

Gina who usually seems polite while interacting with others, clucked and turned away. He ignored Gus Stevin.

Looking at Gina who seemed to look annoyed at being caught observing someone, Gus Stevin deliberately looked at her face with his lips which then curved funny.

Gina realized that and hit Gus Stevin on the back as the man put on the expression he hated the most about her.

After doing a little quarrel for a while, they finally went back to silence and looked at the students who were still cool listening to the story of Cassey.

Gus Stevin followed Gina's gaze.

“Cassey Lloyd's. Why do you keep watching the student? Are you interested in recruiting him? He is unlikely to want to join as a Hunter in the Association, considering he comes from the Lloyd family that owns the Black Diamond Guild.” Gus Stevin.

Somewhat surprised by Gus Stevin's guess that knew who he was looking at, Gina turned to him.

“Where do you know I noticed it?” sahut Gina while frowning her forehead.

“From the beginning before getting into this Dungeon you kept paying attention to it.” Said Gus Stevin, who then turned his gaze away from Cassey, to the rest of the young Hunters. He did not want to be considered stealing a look at his students.

“Is that?”

“Hehehe. There would be no more crazy rich kids besides Liu Gong willing to join the Hunter.” Association

Gina took a deep breath before finally exhaling it back quickly.

Gus Stevin did guess correctly who he was paying attention to, but for a completely wrong reason.

“What's your assessment of Cassey Lloyd?” Gina asked him.

Gus Stevin squinted his eyes as if he was considering the answer to that question.

The thick-bodied man then recalled the interaction he had with the person Gina meant.

“Almost perfect.” Gus Stevin finally answered.

Gina Stewart's turn narrowed her eyes. "Almost perfect?”

“Yes, my princess.. ugh...! Hey, that hurts!” gus Stevin protests after receiving Gina's elbow on his ribs.

“Tanker weak..”.

“Your elbow is so sharp!”

Gina Stewart stared straight at Cassey, while Gus Stevin was still grimacing in pain.

"Why is his elbow so sharp?” Thought Gus Stevin while rubbing the fatty side of his stomach with his palms.

Gina looked back at Gus Stevin.

“Why is it almost perfect? I mean, he does look very perfect both in his nature and attitude, especially his face. But... what makes it ‘hampir’?”

Gus Stevin grunts. He felt he had told him the reason that Cassey was the only Hunter that would probably be difficult to recruit as an Association Hunter. He thought that was the reason Gina noticed him.

“Why are you suddenly so interested in him?”

"I just want to know your opinion."

Gus Stevin nodded slowly. He looked back at Cassey.

"She's kind of like you."

Hearing that, Gina looked at him lazily.

“Already, you're too convoluted. If you do not want to say the meaning of the word ‘hampir’, let me find his own year.”

After saying that sentence, Gina took her supplies that she had packed since then left Gus Stevin who then wanted to pursue her.

“Wow... wow... wow.... are you angry?” Ejek Gus Stevin's.

Gina turned to him while smiling mockingly.

“You deaf? Team captain told us to assemble.”

“You jerk, why didn't you tell me?”

Gina laughed and left Gus Stevin who finally turned and ran to the supply and weapons that were still scattered in a place a little far from their seat earlier.

Wang Liu Gong, who was captain of the raid team, clicked and shook his head at the sight of Gus Stevin, was the only Hunter who still had not packed his supplies and prepared his combat equipment.

“What kind of structure is he?” Wang Liu Gong.

°°°

Gina Stewart continued to watch as Cassey was surrounded by several Hunters around her.

Indeed there is not the slightest attitude that reflects him as a psychopath Gina for torturing and almost killing her step-sister, until now Gina was almost in disbelief and somewhat doubtful about what Anna had told her.

The only thing that can prove the truth of what Anna is saying is the CCTV footage.

Unfortunately, all the CCTV he requested of his acquaintances at the Asian Soul restaurant has been sabotaged.

According to Gina, if she were to report to the Association about what Cassey had done without any evidence, then the Association would find her report ridiculous.

Although Gina is more inclined to believe in Anna's story, she actually does not know who deserves the Oscar among them.

“But, no lies are seen from Anna as she tells her story.” Think Gina.

°°°

“Nona Stewart?” The conscious Cassey Lloyd had been stared at by Gina since then finally greeted the supervising instructor.

Gina Stewart was a little surprised when the girl suddenly mentioned her name. “Y-ya?”

“Not..., it's just.. It seems like there's something you want to talk to me about?”

Gina smiled awkwardly, then shook her head slowly.

“Nothing..., I just saw you seem to be very popular among your peers.”

Cassey smiled. A natural smile that was so sweet formed on his lips.

“I don't think so.” Sahel Cassey, down.

“I saw it like that.” Sahut Gina who then returned the smile of Cassey with a smile as well. “It will be good for your work later.”

“Really? I also hope so..”.

Gina nodded and patted Cassey's shoulder gently.

Gina remained silent for a while before finally returning to speak.

“But..., don't you also have some brothers who also work as Hunter?”

“Ya... my sister is already registered in the Association and she is now working in the guild Black Diamond.” Cassey Sahut.

There was a pause of a few seconds before Gina looked straight at Cassey's two eyes. “How about your other brother?”

Cassey was silent for a moment and shifted her gaze elsewhere.

“Two of my sisters are still in school.” Sahut Cassey.

Gina nodded her head. She is actually rather uncomfortable when trying to figure out the personal life of another person if not the person himself who told her.

However, due to his affection for Anna, Gina was forced to do so.

“Oh, I almost forgot. Does she come from the same family as you?” Gina asked as she looked at Cassey's face with a full glance.

Both of Cassey's eyes widened and he stared at Gina for a moment before finally turning his gaze away.

“Is she your sister?” Cecar Gina, when not getting an answer.

Cassey finally just nodded and forced her smile. “D-where did you meet her, miss Stewart?”

Gina can capture Cassey's anxiety from the look on her face and the look in her eyes. Gina smiled and gently patted the girl's shoulder again before finally returning to speak.

“I met him while he was doing his Hunter resurrection check test a few years ago.” Gina.

“O-oh... y-yeah.

Seeing the sudden change in Cassey's attitude, Gina smiled faintly.

“Alright, good luck.”

Gina gently patted Cassey's shoulder once more, then she left Cassey looking uncomfortable at their conversation after Gina mentioned Anna's name.

“I can feel the same strange magic energy as that contained in Anna's body the first time I found her first. I think he really did.” Think Gina. His face looked a little stiff at that moment.
