The Hunter System
Chapter 103 - Someone Different
...Part 5: Hunting the Hunters...
...☆ ☆ ☆...
It has been 23 years since a scientist discovered a way to absorb the monster Mana core to serve as an experience point.
The discovery was only obtained after 2 years Dungeon gates appeared on Earth.
But that's just how far scientists have come so far. Regarding how a hunter could obtain the Mana core, which everyone next said was a 'natural awakening', until now no one had known about it.
In the initial 5 years since the appearance of the Dungeon Gate, a natural awakening could be obtained by someone at a random age. Whether it is children aged 14 years and over or parents aged under 66 years and under can get it.
That's why many high-ranking hunters today are those over 35.
At first, the scientists only allowed someone over the age of 25 who was allowed to improve the experience. However, after going through 5 years of hard-earned struggle of the early hunters to find a fighting formation against the monsters, the policy was changed.
When all hunters realize that conquering a Dungeon will benefit greatly, it is from then on that everyone who gets a natural awakening begins to upgrade the experience, although it must cost a lot by buying the experience of other hunters who want to sell it.
After going through that initial 5 years, there is an age change that is also never known what causes it, for people who get a natural awakening.
People who experience natural awakening and are considered lucky are only in the age range of 14 to 18 years. Since then there has never been a human being who has regained consciousness under or after passing that age, until someone who has passed the age of 18 is resistant and has not received resurrection, usually will feel prolonged despair.
Indeed, actually one can get a 'force awakening' by taking the Mana core of S rank monsters and injecting it into a human person where they will later get the prefix as a hunter in D rank.
But, to do that one had to incur a very expensive cost because it was not an easy thing for scientists to do, nor was it an easy thing to search for S rank monsters. That's why all teenagers dream of getting a natural awakening.
People in this age knew if they became a hunter then they would definitely get a higher chance of obtaining wealth and honor. Although there are actually unfortunate hunters like Alvin who experienced a revival at the F level with the job Healer, also do not have the cost to buy experience points.
Back to the beginning. Scientists only know how to extract the Mana monster core which is then used as an experience upgrade material.
As for developing skills and other things related to magic energy coming from the Mana core, scientists never knew how to sort them out. They were not necessarily able to use various kinds of magic from the Mana energy. Each hunter already has his own criteria, following his Mana core type.
When someone just got a resurrection, they do not immediately know what jobs they get. That's why the young men took training in Hunter Academy until they finally knew what jobs and how to control Mana energy to produce a magic skill.
If after going through training one could shoot fireballs or ice blades, then they would be categorized as a Mage.
If they were experts at defending and could control the Mana energy until it formed a protector and had a tendency to lure monsters to come at them, they would be categorized as Tankers.
Healer, Assassin, and Warrior. Everything is just that simple.
So, there was no other thing or different skill that the same job-type hunter had. If they were warriors, they would be able to use magic swords as a means of channeling magic energy.
The ranking will only distinguish the speed and how strong the attack, healing power, endurance and power keep the team stable from the buff.
In addition, the last thing a hunter gets after they gain an experience improvement and reach a certain point, they will get additional skills that are the same type of expertise in each job.
Regarding the story that an SS ranker will have the skills of two jobs, it is only a myth that circulates so that an SS rank hunter is more feared, also so that the business of buying and selling experience points becomes increasingly in demand.
Only that was the extent of a hunter's skill. No one has ever been able to summon an alien, nor has there ever been a necromancer.
.........
That's why Cyntia feels astonished at the many abilities that Alvin has. He could summon, shoot a net, also remove the magic aura
For the time being, Cyntia had only guessed that Alvin was a hunter who had ranked above her, which no other hunter had reached yet.
Imagining how cool the person he had liked since he was 6 years old, Cyntia's face blushed, while looking at Alvin who had been asleep for 3 days in his supervision.
......................
Once he opened his eyes after being unconscious for 3 days, Alvin immediately saw the ceiling of the house that was very familiar. She is now in her own room, in a house she has lived in since the age of 15 to 25.
Upon awakening, he recalled how he felt extreme fatigue just after he deactivated his costume form.
Three days ago, after he exited the last gate of Dungeon Break and was already in a somewhat desolate place, he finally deactivated the form of Hunter Equipment costume.
Right after he deactivated the form of the costume, he immediately lost consciousness.
Just then he felt limp as well feeling his entire Mana energy had been drained away.
.........
Alvin was about to call Mina, but she immediately canceled her intention when she felt that someone was with her in the room.
After turning his head and being silent for a long time looking at Cyntia who was sitting next to the bed with her chin supported looking at him in silence, Alvin hurriedly got up and sat on the edge of the bed.
“Nona Tia?"
Cyntia laughed for a while before she pointed towards the man's lips.
Alvin felt something wet in the corners of his lips and he hurriedly wiped the saliva with the back of his hand.
Regretting the embarrassment, Alvin laughed too, awkwardly.
“Ah... My teeth are watery" said Alvin in his laughter.
He saw Cyntia laughing louder and louder as she smacked her thighs after hearing the words.
[“Where was your school first? Which teacher told you that teeth can draw out water? Why do people drink when their teeth produce water?"]
‘You shut up! You owe me an answer to my question later!’
[“...”]
“You okay?” cyntia asked after she was satisfied laughing.
“Y-ya... I'm fine,” Alvin says fast.
“Can you speak as normally as you used to?”
“Ya?”
“You speak too formally to me.”
Alvin nodded slowly while rubbing the entire part of his mouth to make sure there was no more saliva there.
But he realized there was another shame when he saw that he was currently only wearing ************** just.
Alvin hurriedly pulled out a blanket to cover his entire body. But he immediately opened it again when he realized something had changed in his body.
