The Hunter System
Chapter 104 - Mana Point Alvin
Alvin was surprised to see that his body now has prominent muscles that were not previously visible in the chest, abdomen and both arms that were previously thin and are still in the formation stage.
‘Wow! Mina, is this your job?’
[“Tsk... No need to thank.”]
‘Thank you.’
[“Nothing. Focus on your woman first."]
But just as Alvin was about to speak to Cyntia again, the woman suddenly stood up from the chair in front of him.
“I go out first,” said Cyntia after she stood up.
He then leaves Alvin with a red face, embarrassed to think Alvin must have realized he was staring too long at his body. Alvin did not notice this.
“Y-yes..”.
'Damn it! Who brought me here and let me just wear my underwear?'
["He brought you. When you passed out, an Association hunter who was on patrol accidentally found you in the alley. When you were brought in, he happened to see you. Vina, who was with him, suggested that you be brought to this house."]
'So? Who let me be like this?'
["..."]
'Mina?'
["Vina changed your clothes but she took them off."]
''You want to trick me?!'
["Why did I cheat you?!"]
'...'
["She just wants to change your sweat-soaked clothes when I build your muscles, but she's too shy to put new clothes on again."]
'...Why haven't you said that since?'
["I'm telling you the plot! You're**k!"]
'...'
.........
‘Already. Now tell me. What really happened?’
[“Your physical training results during that day's fight have been shaped into muscle.”]
‘Not. I know it.’
[“Keren right? He's up to the spell on your body.”]
‘You..’.
[“Hnnn?”]
‘Forget. What the hell happened to me? Why did I suddenly faint?’
[“You're exhausted and running out of Mana energy. Just take a look at your status.”]
Alvin immediately called out the status window and shouted out loud after seeing which status the point was.
“What is this?!”
Hearing Alvin's screaming voice, Cyntia appeared in front of the door. But he immediately turned his face when he saw Alvin was still not dressed.
“What happened?” cyntia asked with a flushed face, without daring to look at Alvin at all.
“T-no...”
They remained silent for a long time until Cyntia finally stopped waiting for him in the living room.
Alvin stared back at the status screen.
...■▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎■...
...Where is point :...
...- 9.238.484.341.286.721.991.269.251.168...
...■▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎■...
‘Why are my points minus this much and what are these numbers? Where my previous points were even tens of millions. This... nominal from where? Is Rimi in error?'
'...Glad to hear. Then, what happened?'
[“You actually ran out of Mana energy while using a lot of your skills back then.”]
‘What?! Why don't you give..’.
Alvin finally recalled back when Mina said that she was wasting her Mana energy.
‘You...!’
[“Hnnn?”]
‘No. Pardon us. I mean, why didn't you tell me?’
[“Because it's not a big deal. It only affects how long you pass out.”]
‘B-so.’
Alvin stared back at his status screen.
'So, if I run out of Mana energy then, how can I use magic?'
'Huh?'
["That Hunter Equipment was formed from a huge pool of Mana energy. Since it merges in your body, you can borrow Mana energy from it when you activate its form."]
'Such...'
Alvin scratched his long hair while still staring at the status window at which point.
‘Then this..., is this some kind of debt I have to pay? What is this much energy which I used at that time?’
[“You think Hunter Equipment is a kind of loan shark and charges debt with this much interest?”]
‘...’
[“That's which energy capacity you can use. But, that is if you activate the form of Hunter Equipment. The mana point was only opened after you borrowed Mana energy from it for the first time at that time."]
‘So so... But...,’ Alvin pay attention to his system recovery, ‘Until when will this angaka return to zero? What as long as the number is not plus then I can not use magic?’
Hearing Alvin's nervous heartbeat sound as he asked, Mina and Rimi laughed.
Hearing their laughter, Alvin fell silent. He only realized that he had as much Mana energy as he had before.
‘You just say it.’
[“You're funny. Does that number make you panic?”]
‘T-of course. It's more terrible than seeing my account balance zero.’
He heard Mina and Rimi laugh at him again after that.
After the two were satisfied laughing and silent, Alvin asked the question again.
‘If I calculate with my recovery system, wouldn't this point return to zero in 3 more years?’
[“Oh, your math is good.”]
‘...Where the point is now more valuable than money. Well..., you know it.’
[“You're right. The point will never reach zero before 1,097 days if you have to recover it using a recovery system. But, whichever point it will be instantly full when you complete the quest level 101.”]
‘What?! That simple?’
[“Simple?”]
‘...’
[“I hope you don't cry later.”]
Glup...
‘But, if I have this much Mana energy..’.
[“You can pull the moon with your net.”]
‘...’
[“As a hunter, you will be unmatched among humans. But, since your Mana energy is that much, you must know that it is as great as what monsters will you face later?”]
Alvin nodded slowly.
'It means I can't see how much energy my Mana is now because it's covered in this minus number, right?'
["Yes. If you're not activating Hunter Equipment, you just need to feel how much Mana energy you're using so you don't exhaust all of your Mana energy."]
'Alright. I-i understand. Thank you.'
[“Well, I've made clear our purpose of coming, right? We need you for a better future.”]
‘But...., can I finish my business first before that?’
[“Cleaning Lewis family?”]
‘Yes. There was also George Maxwell who made me very angry."
[“Tsk... they are just dust grains.”]
‘...Dust granules can also be annoying if left.’
[“It won't happen."]
‘They can cause sneezing.’
[“...Then clean them first.”]
'thank you.'
......................
After she finished talking to Mina, Alvin went to her dusty wardrobe to look for old clothes that he had left behind.
While wearing the wardrobe-smelling clothes, Alvin heard progressive metal music coming from the living room where Cyntia is currently located.
He opens a friendship map to see if anyone else is in his house and he finds no one else but himself and Cyntia.
'Is this his favorite song?'
Alvin listened to the sound of the music carefully and could recognize the sound produced from the spreader. This is the sound produced by her mother's older speaker who is over 35 years old. A reminiscence speaker left by her mother who was a modern dancer in her youth.
When he remembered his mother, Alvin turned to the small table beside the bed where his cell phone was.
He then took the phone and just held it while remembering the list of songs his mother's joy that he had bought and was on his cellphone.
Songs that he often listened to in his own moments and was lonely when he was in the Academy first, also when he wanted to 'kidn' his ears so as not to hear the insults of the people every are waiting for the schedule to enter the Dungeon.
