The Hunter System
Chapter 209 - The Unhelpful Story
Alvin and Cyntia went to the Maxwell family castle afterwards and this was the first time Alvin had set foot in the Maxwell family residence after two months of being busy with his corporate affairs.
All the people living inside the fort, whom Cyntia had informed of her arrival with Alvin, welcomed their arrival since the sedan they were driving entered the gate of the fort.
The young hunters living in the barracks lined up along the street only to see Alvin.
"Mr Rufino!"
"Mr Rufino, nice to meet you...!"
Almost all of the dozen-year-old hunters called out his name and stared in admiration at him.
While Alvin himself felt confused to respond to their remarks that he considered too excessive.
Some of the teenage hunters he had seen and they had not behaved like this to him in the past.
'Didn't we meet often? Why did they change this way?'
Sam even to the hassles of driving the teenage hunters who flock want to come into the castle to see Alvin from a closer distance.
In addition, all teenage hunters also want to listen to Alvin's story. About his fight against powerful enemies that they had only heard from their parents and seniors.
Getting a story from the culprit directly would certainly be more interesting.
But, not only the teenagers who want to hear the story of Alvin's struggle when he was on the monster planet two months ago. Maxwell's main family also wanted to know.
Therefore, they 'get rid' of teenage hunters who want to force their way into the castle.
In fact, Alvin also never told anyone about his experience, including Cyntia who did not want to ask questions that seemed not to want Alvin to tell him.
That's why, since Alvin was there, all eyes were immediately on him after Sam asked about the experience he had gone through.
Glup...
Alvin looked at everyone with mixed feelings.
Happy to be noticed, yet nervous and awkward at the same time.
Their thirst for information, made the gazes of those people seem much more savage than the gazes of the Re council when it was about to kill him.
"So..," Alvin began to open his mouth after swallowing a mouthful of drink to wet his throat, as if the story he was about to unfold was a very long story.
Alvin continued, "He's a terrible creature. He attacked me. sat... Then I killed him" said Alvin nervously.
The story ends in just one sentence.
The atmosphere was quiet for quite a while.
People hoping to get a thriller started glancing at each other after Alvin didn't continue the story anymore.
'Sat... sat... sat.... and it's done right away?'
'Is that all that happened?'
'Did he really ever fight a terrible monster like the WABC station reported?'
'My fight against a frog monster in a D rank Dungeon used to be much more stressful.'
Everyone around the dining table still looked at each other as they dissolved into their minds, before finally looking at Alvin with a wrinkled face.
They seem dissatisfied with the story.
Gaining such a gaze, Alvin quickly turned his gaze to Cyntia who was smacking her smile.
Thinking Alvin wanted to ask him for help to overcome the strange atmosphere at the dining table, Cyntia immediately fixed her expression.
With a cold expression, Cyntia looked back at everyone sitting around the round dining table with menacing eyes.
Most of them are members of their own family.
There are only Marco Rufino, Vina and Jack who are not part of the immediate family.
Knowing the meaning of Cyntia's gaze that they were disinclined with, everyone immediately lowered their heads.
"Haha... We haven't had dinner yet. Come... Let's eat first." said Sam while taking some dishes on the table.
"The fight was going on very quickly" Alvin said suddenly.
Everyone's movements stopped and they stared back at him.
Alvin wasn't lying.
The few minutes he went through in the fight were only when he and the opponent were observing each other's strength.
As they moved, it didn't take long to exchange attacks.
That's why he has difficulty telling how a hunter usually tells their experience when fighting, to be used as a lesson for other hunters if one day meets the same opponent.
When the people looked at him with an expression of disbelief, Alvin pointed at the plate before him.
"The fight against the gods will be very intense and fast like this" Alvin said. "Little by little we will perish" he added.
That was the only information he could give them as knowledge of how great the Re council was. And himself too.
Everyone initially did not understand the meaning of his words.
However, when they saw the pile of dishes in front of Alvin, they understood what he meant.
Cyntia who has speed moves beyond reason alone until surprised made.
He did not know when Alvin moved to gather all the dinner plates from the presence of the dozens of people who were there and move all the plates into one pile in front of him.
"So I kind of forgot about it" said Alvin again.
In their eyes, Alvin was just talking. However, without them noticing, when there was a slight pause in the sentence that Alvin said, Alvin had returned all the dishes before the people again.
The hunters are sweating coldly.
Now they realize why nothing seems special about Alvin.
They recalled how Alvin had finished off the lich without them even realizing it.
That's why there's not much interesting to learn from the fight.
"He's very fast. We didn't even realize when he cut off the necks of those monsters."
"What?! How'd he do it?"
"...We don't know. It's just... Their heads were already scattered on the ground."
That's what witnesses always tell hunters who are not on the scene.
"yes too. Nothing can be learned from how to fight, nor how to deal with his opponent. After all we wouldn't be able to face them if they were still around" Sam thought, concluding.
......................
The following days Alvin spent training the teenage hunters in the Maxwell family fortress.
Armed with what he had trained during the quest Rimi gave, he taught sword techniques and techniques using daggers on young Warrior and Assassin-type hunters.
Tank-type hunters, Mage and Healer, he taught them how to control the Mana energy and how to properly distribute the Mana energy so that they could maximize the Mana energy capacity they had and not run out of Mana energy while the battle was going on.
Not only beginner hunters who learn from him, senior hunters also learn from him.
What Alvin did to all of the Maxwell family hunters would ultimately make them superior to the hunters who studied at the Academy.
......................
Time passed, until finally the day that Alvin and Cyntia would get married.
That night, one night before the wedding, Alvin seemed very agitated.
Inside the male-only castle, he flipped his body over the bed in great agitation.
"Are the people getting married really this scary?" alvin asks Mina and Rimi who he knows have been married in their lives.
["I rarely sleep and am always busy with my research. I don't know."]
Alvin finally got up, twisted his body, about to sit on the edge of the bed.
But, before he could put his butt right, a magic gate suddenly appeared under his body and made him fall into the magic gate.
