The Hunter System
Chapter 36 - Meet Hunter Rank A
"You're Alfin Rufino, right?!" ask Joey again.
His tone of speech and the way he asked were now a little rougher than before. His gaze also changed.
"He's that Rufino?"
"He's a F-rank fugitive, huh?"
After Joey said Alvin's name very clearly and loudly, the hunters who had just arrived at the Processing Center finally turned around and went to Alvin and his seven colleagues.
They all looked at Alvin with probing gazes and satirized him blatantly directly before him.
"Wow, you're right, man, he really is Alvin Rufino who's famous as the fugitive!" exclaimed a hunter who immediately pulled out a hand camera to take Alvin's video.
The man holding the camera then pointed the camera right at Alvin's face to be able to take his profile more clearly.
"Will the S City Association catch up with you until you get here if they watch my MeTube?" said the man in his small laugh.
Seeing what he was doing, Alvin of course immediately looked at him with displeasure. If his whereabouts were known to the Lewis family, of course they would have directly chased him to City T.
Norman Lewis is not an opponent he can face at the moment. Alvin still had to avoid it for as long as possible, until he was at least S-ranked as well.
Not to mention, Norman Lewis still has his eldest son, Duncan Lewis, who is one of the famous guild members in China. He is also very famous for his violence.
If Duncan hears that his younger brother, Miranda, is missing inside the Dungeon as well as Brondy who suddenly becomes incapacitated after they meet Alvin, who is, he was convinced that Duncan would definitely return from China and also go look for him to T City.
If that happens, Alvin will be really in big trouble.
.........
"Please get your camera off me" Alvin said. He looked at the hunter with great anger.
Instead of getting rid of the camera, the Hunter laughed when he saw Alvin's anger.
"Oh, are you angry? How can a fugitive..."
Tapp...
"Mr Rufino is a guest of the T City Association. So please don't bother him" said Jack Paul, who had taken the camera from the hunter's hand and immediately fiddled with the camera to delete the video.
"Mr Paul, what are you doing? You deleted my video? There's plenty..."
"You're recording someone without permission. It's not my fault" said Jack cutting the sentence Edmund Green, hunter owner of the camera.
"You want to do as he pleases because you are an Association Hunter?!" edmund's true protest was not afraid of Jack.
Edmund and Jack are both ranked B. Although Jack has the authority as an Association hunter whose main task is to maintain order for every hunter in his city, it is Jack's actions that humiliate him in front of his colleagues, especially in front of Alvin and his seven colleagues, edmund could not accept this treatment.
Edmund is about to take the camera back from Jack's hands, but he cancels his intentions when he sees a woman's figure suddenly blocking him.
"Remove it, no problem" the woman told Jack.
"N-nona Cruz..," Edmund murmured as he saw the guild leader there.
He certainly did not dare to oppose any more if Ivory Cruz, his guild leader, were already speaking.
Ivory was the figure that Alvin had felt had the aura of an extremely powerful Mana energy. He was an A rank Mage type hunter who was also the head of the Flames guild who had just completed a raid in a C rank Dungeon with Joey and Edmund currently on the spot that's.
.........
Ivory then looked at Alvin and immediately apologized to him for the irreverence of his guild members.
"Forgive us if we make you uncomfortable, Mr. Rufino," Ivory said in a soft voice.
Alvin was surprised to see it. He was used to getting various kinds of gazes and facial messages from someone. So, he knew which ones were sincere and which ones were just theatrical.
He was surprised to find out there were A rank hunters like Ivory actually apologized sincerely to such a low rank hunter.
Ivory and all of her guild members of course had no idea that Alvin was ranked B, because Rimi had disguised his Mana energy.
"No problem" said Alvin.
Ivory then turned around and asked all of her guild members to go to the waiting room while the processing team worked on the results of their raid.
After they all leave the place, Jack finally returns Edmund's camera to Ivory after he checks the video files inside if there is still a video of Alvin left behind.
Ivory also re-examined the files in the camera and left after finding no more Alvin videos.
......................
"I'm sorry if the hunter-hunters in our town make you uncomfortable, Mr. Rufino."
"No need to thank me. That was indeed the job of the Association hunter. If your main task is monster hunters, we are hunters of troublemakers," said Jack who then smiled bitterly.
Just as he feels for Ivory, Alvin can also see Jack as the one who speaks for who he is. So he has respect for her.
"Do you want me to take you all the way to your residence, Mr Rufino?" ask Jack then.
"no need. I will go home by taxi only" said Alvin.
After they exchanged a few more sentences, Alvin, Raymond and the six hunters who were with him finally left the Processing Center building.
......................
"Where have you been? Why are you turning off your phone for 4 days?"
"Huh?" Alvin was shocked when he heard the 4-day sentence. He felt that he had only been gone for 2 days and he had been in the Dungeon for 3 days.
Vina was still glaring at him with her waistline.
"Sorry, I don't know if I've been inside the Dungeon for 3 days."
Vina snorted softly while watching her sister's clothes that had a lot of tears like being exposed to sharp weapons.
It was the tear marks from the dagger of the hologram creature that managed to pierce through the armor even to the point of injuring its body.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"See your clothes. Are you hurt bad again?" vina said as she approached Alvin, about to check the condition of his body.
Alvin hurriedly raised both of his hands to prevent Vina from approaching him. "I'm fine. I can heal myself. Don't forget, I'm a healer."
"Tsk.., next time there's no need to lie just to keep me from worrying."
"What do you mean?"
"You said just out for exercise, right?"
Alvin finally recalled the moment he said he just wanted to go for a workout.
"Ah. I suddenly met an acquaintance and he took me to the Dungeon."
"Are you doing an illegal raid?"
"No, that..."
"Hasn't your raid permission revoked? You did an illegal raid, right?"
"..."
"Alvin, don't we already have enough money to live without working for an entire year. Can you reduce your activities inside the Dungeon?"
Alvin scratched his head. He actually had to go to the Dungeon more often to increase his level.
"I'll tell you next time I go to the Dungeon" Alvin said slowly.
Usually he will immediately argue if there are things that he does not like from the words of his brother. However, since he had promised to take responsibility for his family, he chose to give up a little.
Vina squinted her eyes, angry.
"That's not what I asked for."
"Y-yeah.., I get it."
After being full of listening to Vina's nagging, Alvin finally went to take a bath.
.........
Alvin was very surprised when he saw there were many incoming messages when he just turned on his phone again. Mostly from Vina and a small part from Jack, Raymond and some of his acquaintances yesterday who sent a thank you for his help in conducting the raid.
But, among all the messages, there were 3 messages from other people that made him very interested.
"It... Is he serious?!"
After Alvin read the message, he immediately left again, leaving Vina who was staring at his departure in annoyance.
"Does he already have many acquaintances in this city?"
