The Hunter System
Chapter 34 - Map Again?!
When he was alone in his room at the Processing Center, Alvin finally opened his latest status to check back on the development he got.
“I didn't expect to reach a B rating this short.”
["You should thank me and Rimi, "] said the System while holding back his laughter. He knew Alvin was still mad at him, and Rimi was.
"Thank you!" alvin said loudly. He could hear the system laughing afterwards.
[“... You don't want to see your new job?”] ask System who finally wants to talk seriously again to Alvin after they had been fighting along the way from the Dungeon gate to the Processing Center.
Alvin called out the status window of his new job, Assassin.

“So your speed can be like that because you have the passive skill shadow step?”
[“Ya.”]
“Then, how does that killing instinct work?”
[“It was a natural instinct in seeing opportunities to finish off targets. If you're usually looking for the best opportunity to attack, killing instinct will help you figure out when it's time for you to deliver a deadly attack with critical damage aimed at instantly killing,”]
["Assassin was indeed extremely terrifying and deadly when attacking. But they are very vulnerable to attack. Therefore, the Assassin job should have a killing instinct. They are not recommended to fight continuously like a Warrior because it has a very weak defense.”]
"Attent. You say, 'should have'? Do other Assassin-type hunters not have it?"
["Yes. They didn't have it in the first place. They had to go through many real battles to train him. Practicing in an ordinary way alone would not be able to make them have it naturally."]
Alvin stunned. If that's the case, then he's very lucky to have a System. But, he did not want to look too happy because he was still angry at those who bullied him.
The system continued, [“Assassin will also spend a lot of Mana energy in one strike. They spent even more Mana energy than a Mage who used area skills. That's why killing instinct is so necessary. You will know when to attack with the intent to directly kill the opponent.”] Say System, a little repeat the explanation.
Alvin nodded slowly. Now he knows why the system is so fast and the attack is so deadly.
"So you mean, the Assassin not only has an instinct when to attack but more in the direction of when is the right time to kill?"
["To be exact, the Assassin must know when to strike the right one to instantly kill, not to fight. If an Assassin has to fight me in a fight like the one I fought with earlier, it means he is still very weak,"] The system straightens out. Alvin could then hear the sound of System laughter.
"That's why a hunter needs a team to do a raid, right?"
["You're right. That's why Rimi gave you all the jobs through the quests you have to complete. You just have to level up all your jobs to the maximum so you can fight alone against high-class monsters."]
"But.., changing jobs while fighting is a bit troublesome."
["You don't have to worry about it."]
"Tsk... How could I not be worried about meeting an opponent as fast as you were?"
'Luckily you used an E rank Assassin hologram. If it's a little higher, I'll die, right?'
["You'll know later. Your job now is to raise all your skill levels. And again, you have an insect conqueror that will be very helpful even if you don't have a raid team."]
He also felt no need to ask about active skills because he had seen for himself how the System was using it directly in battle.
He finally checked the reward he received from the quest. Hidden reward.
......................
“What is this?” alvin asked with a frown.
He thought he would get items like the sky god sword, flying dragon or cool things that were in his delusion.
["That's a very good reward."]
“Very good? What good is this map? Why are you guys giving me another map?”
[“Tsk... Look carefully at the map. What do you think it is?”]
“How do I know?! These red dots..., isn't this the same as the Dungeon monster's location and the hunter's existence?”
[“You'll be embarrassed if you know what the map functions.”]
“Do not convolve. What does it do?”
[“You see those big red dots? Try you touch that map right on the big red dot”]
Alvin did it impatiently. He threw his index finger at the transparent screen.
Once Alvin had touched his screen, another status window appeared before him. Inside that window he could read the description regarding the level of the Dungeon and the magic energy emanating from its gate.
“I-this..,”
Alvin's eyelids are shaking. The map not only shows the level of the Dungeon and the exact estimate of the total strength of the monsters. From there, he could even tell when the gate barrier magic was opening which meant that he would know when the Dungeon would break.
With the map, Alvin will be able to help humanity avoid the invasion of monsters to Earth.
“This is very extraordinary.”
[“Tsk. Now close the gate status window and tap the green.”] dot
Alvin followed it. There he could see a slightly different description.
“Bakal Dungeon?”
[“Yes. You need it most, right? It was a place where a Dungeon gate would open. You can now find out the location where the Dungeon gates will appear before anyone in the world knows it.”]
“This is amazing!” exciting Alvin. He even shouted so loudly that shortly afterwards he heard the sound of someone knocking from in front of his room.
“Bro, are you okay?”
That was Raymond's voice. He was relaxing in his room, imagining what he would be able to buy when getting paid by the government for the raid they did.
“Yes. I'm fine.” Sahut Alvin who then did not pay attention to Raymond's questions from outside his room.
.........
“But how did I get inside the gate when the gate was still not visible?”
[“See the caption under the status of the Future Dungeon. There is an open option. You just touch it and the gate will be visible there. When you entered the Dungeon. You just have to choose again the option to hide the gate, then the gate will not be visible to anyone from the outside world.”]
Alvin nodded with a radiant face.
“You guys are amazing. This is really great. I'll do a raid without worrying about anything else.”
[“Tsk. At least you'll feel what it's like to be a rich hunter before you die!”]
“…”
[“So, are you not angry with me now?”]
'F!'
