The Hunter System
Chapter 169 - Face to Face with the System
'Yes?'
["If the gate had already appeared, Beelzebub would have appeared in the near future. It's in S."]
.........
"It seems that the time of the appearance of the demon that was widely reported by the World Association was right today. Take a look," said Cyntia while pointing her phone screen at Alvin.
Alvin saw a battle between hundreds of thousands of cloned troops and the hunters from City C there.
"Do we have to help them?" cyntia said again.
Alvin still silently stared at the screen of the phone before shaking his head.
"No. Let's just stay here."
"Wake up? Will gates like this appear in our city as well?"
"Yes. We can't leave City S."
Cyntia nodded slowly, looked at her phone screen again, then was shocked when she saw a blond woman who had just walked out from inside a gate to face the hundreds of thousands of clone troops.
Alvin looked at her as he felt Cyntia's shocked expression, then stared at the young woman's mobile screen.
["That's Miss Lo. He must have been surprised to see a person who looked so much like him."]
Alvin smiled, then turned on his own phone screen.
'This is an age that makes too many surprises. I hope he gets used to it.'
......................
The battle that took place on those 5 continents went very well. The fame of the hunter-hunters from City C was not just nonsense.
They could overcome millions of clone troops very quickly with no casualties on their side at all.
The monsters that came out from the red crystal gate with a terrifying magic aura could also be overcome very well, it was even too easy as if they were just F rank monsters.
Alvin shook his head, watching how powerful the teenage girl named Anna Lloyd was, who was blocking the monster in front of the red gate all by herself.
["If you and he were in the future, I might not have to go back to this age."]
'I wouldn't be like now if you didn't come back.'
Mina smiled.
["You finally know thank you."]
'...Sure have.'
.........
All day long, Alvin and Cyntia watched the battles on five continents, in dozens of cities, on their mobile phones.
The two sat side-by-side in the rubble of the former buildings of the City S Hunter Association, while discussing the battles that took place.
"It turns out that there are many powerful hunters in this world who previously only hid themselves" said Cyntia.
"Maybe it's because Norman Lewis cut off the news coming into S City that we don't know."
"No. When I lived in Germany, I had never heard of them either. That famous Kevin Jung has also just come to the surface lately."
Alvin nodded slowly.
Their conversation stalled again as the robot-voiced Rimi gave a warning.
Alvin was about to look up, but Mina quickly prevented him.
["Don't look."]
'Yes?'
["Just ignore it. We seem to have been found out."]
'He should not be seen among them. Is he investigating me?'
["Maybe. Just shut up and pretend you don't know."]
Alvin was also aware of the presence of drones flying high above them. The drone circled above them after going around to monitor the state of S City.
He also knew that Mina had hacked 3 satellites belonging to the owner of the drone to cover information on the island of Borneo so that the World Association could not sniff out his existence.
But, Alvin finally stood up when an Association hunter who was patrolling and passing under the rubble noticed the presence of a drone that he thought was a monster, then destroyed it.
'The guy...!'
["You mostly daydream."]
'...You're correct.'
["I think he'll come."]
'Well, how else...'
Justright. A few minutes later, Alvin could feel a small Mana energy, which was much smaller than the magic energy contained in the drone, suddenly appear near the debris of the drone.
"Tia, let's go," Alvin asked as he stuck his hand at Cyntia and pulled her up.
"That's a drone belonging to the 9 AM company."
"They're monitoring S City?"
"Looks," said Alvin, lying. He believes he is the one being investigated.
Cyntia looked down at the two teenage girls who had suddenly appeared there.
"They... Aren't they powerful hunters from City C?"
Alvin nodded slowly.
"Let's go.; go." said Alvin in a slightly choked sentence when he saw Anna Lloyd staring at him for a while, before the girl vanished somewhere.
Alvin looks back at his phone screen and finds Anna now back in front of the red crystal gate in Tianjin, China.
'Crazy ones. He's really teleporting.'
......................
Alvin who was originally about to take Cyntia away from the location, brought Cyntia to go to the teenage girl Anna left there.
When they were close together, Alvin really did not believe what he saw.
The 19-year-old girl had a very cute face, although her face was in a flat expression that showed absolutely no emotion whatsoever.
["Don't admire me too much."]
'No... I meani... You look very weak.'
["..."]
.........
"What's going on here?" the girl finally opened her mouth and asked.
As she spoke, Cyntia frowned. It was like recognizing the voice of the girl.
"The voice..," Cyntia turned her head, looking at Alvin for a bit before looking back at the girl. Cyntia then shifted to be closer to Alvin and asked, "The voice?"
"That's really him."
"Yes?!"
Alvin briefly tells about who Mina really is and it makes both Cyntia's eyes widen.
"The spirit of the future?"
"Yes. He's been helping me all this time."
Alvin looked at Cyntia to observe her expression. Unlike what he thought, Cyntia did not seem to be angry. In fact, there were sympathetic gazes in both of the woman's beautiful eyes.
Relieved, Alvin looked back at Miyuki Nakano, the sweet girl standing a few meters before them, who was none other than Mina in the present.
'Your two.'
["He's not me."]
'Then, how many scores are you?'
["Of course zero."]
'...'
.........
"What's going on here?" miyuki asked once more, as she did not get an answer.
"Just like it happened out there" said Alvin. He knew that Miyuki must have understood the meaning of his words.
Miyuki smiled cynically.
"So you hacked our satellite?"
Alvin gave a similar smile. He did not expect that the girl could guess right away.
"Yes." Yeah."
"You're doing it to cover all this up?"
'Gosh. So this is your face when you talk sniffly?'
Mina did not answer. Instead, he could hear giggling laughter from Rimi.
"You're right" said Alvin.
After getting that answer, Miyuki glanced at Cyntia for a bit, then looked at Alvin with the same sharp gaze that Alvin gave, even though Alvin was not actually trying to intimidate her. His eyes are always like that.
"What's your reason for doing it?" ask Miyuki again.
"...You don't need to know why I did it..."
Alvin's sentence came to a halt when Miyuki suddenly vanished.
The girl moved very quickly, even Alvin's two eyes could not keep up with his speed.
