The Hunter System
Chapter 56 - 5 Hunter Jobs (9)
Alvin heals Lex, Jack and Ivory in quick succession, after he keeps the Dungeon boss's dagger higher than Miranda Lewis's.
As for the other hunters, he dragged them out of the cave using a net and only healed all the hunters after they were in the mouth of the cave.
With the exception of Joey and Edmund. Alvin simply closed the wound in Edmund's stomach and removed their poison alone without healing the deep wounds they had gotten from fighting a high orc in the first location.
"Hey... Why don't you cure us like the others?!" as for Joey, he was upset that his internal wounds had not healed at all.
Alvin ignored the rant. He did not even want to talk or look at Joey and Edmund at all as if they were just inanimate objects that had no feelings. Alvin instead went straight from the front of the two hunters to talk to Lex Brown.
"That's it. Let's just say that Mr. Rufino is still upset with you because you made trouble some time ago" Ivory said slowly, looking for a health potion bottle from his waist bag.
"But..."
"It's still good that Mr. Rufino covered your external wounds and healed you of poison," Ivory then looked at the two hunters alternately and continued his sentence, "Suppose this is a lesson for you. Next time do not look for problems with hunters who have a lower rank than you. We will never know the development of someone in the future" Ivory said again. He then gave his 4 bottles of health potion to the two hunters. "Drink this first. I'll contact the Healer-healer of our guild when it's outside."
"Y-yes, Miss Ivory.." said the two hunters while bowing in shame, almost simultaneously.
................
Alvin approaches Lex and Jack, who are discussing what they will tell the media crew about the raid team from the Dungeon later.
"Mr Brown, can I speak for a moment?"
"Y-yes? Oh... Yeah.of course. Let's talk, Mr. Rufino." Lex's fast. He also immediately smiled kindly at the end of his sentence.
Being asked for permission to speak by a powerful hunter who had already saved his life, even the lives of the citizens of City T, of course Lex was very happy. He had also been wanting to meet Alvin for a long time, ever since Jack told him how Alvin could open the Dungeon gates. But the opportunity did not come.
Lex also wants to talk to him after they're out of the cave, but Alvin is still busy curing other hunters, so he chooses to talk to Jack first.
"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr Rufino?" lex asked, when he saw Alvin seemed reluctant to talk back.
Alvin was actually still a little amazed at the middle-aged man's welcome. During his life, only this time he was treated with great respect by someone who had high power in a region.
Serving as the chairman of the Hunter Association was not an ordinary post in this day and age. They were even more honorable than a mayor in power.
If the mayor is still elected by the people, the chairman of the Association of a city is a position directly elected by the head of state, after consideration from the chairman of the National Association.
The National Association itself was an institution that had now replaced the military after the Dungeon gates began to appear. They are the front lines that protect the people of a country. Therefore, serving as chairman of the National Association actually has more power than a president. So, Lex is actually the most powerful man in City T. That's what makes Alvin feel appreciated.
Previously, he had only been looked at one eye by the Association hunters in S City. While here, an Association leader spoke to him very politely and even respectfully.
.........
Because Alvin never spoke, Lex finally spoke first to melt the atmosphere. But, what he said, was exactly what he wanted to know, which made him very curious after seeing the amazing action that Alvin did.
"Mr Rufino. Actually, how can you have a fighting skill using 5 job hunters?"
"Y-yes?"
"I'm sorry that we've been sassy to follow you. But, what you do is really not an ordinary thing. I doubt in this world if anyone can use the skills of 5 jobs at once. I've heard of anyone being able to have the skill of two jobs after SS rank but I've never seen it,"
"Today, unexpectedly, I even had the honor of seeing someone who could use the skills of 5 jobs at once! This is so awesome!" praise Lex.
Alvin fell silent as the important man praised him with great enthusiasm.
["If he knew you actually had 5 job hunters, he might faint"] said System who then laughed proudly.
'Shut up first.'
"It was just luck." Alvin Sahut.
"Luck?"
["Oh now you admit it. You're lucky to meet me, aren't you?"]
"Yes." Yeah."
["Good boy."]
'I'm not talking to you!'
Lex and Jack glanced at each other. They know Alvin doesn't seem to want to tell you his secret. Though, Lex still wants to ask what Alvin's rank really is. He suspected that Alvin might be an S-rank hunter hiding his rank.
Lex finally switched the conversation.
"So...., what do you want to talk about, Mr Rufino?"
"Actually,." Alvin stopped his line when he realized everyone was staring at them.
Realizing that, Lex asked all the hunters to go ahead of them out of this Dungeon while informing the gatekeepers that the Dungeon had been conquered.
.........
After all the hunters left, leaving only Lex and Jack, then Alvin again spoke.
"Actually, may I have the rights to this Dungeon, Mr Brown?"
"Hak?"
"I mean, I want to buy this Dungeon from all the hunters who have done the raid. I want to use it as a raid storage warehouse."
Lex speechless. He looked at Alvin as he occasionally glanced at Jack who was standing next to the skinny man.
"To keep opening a gate, you must have permission, Mr. Rufino."
Alvin nodded slowly. He's learned that. That's why he asked the Association's chairman to talk to him, because he thought this was the most appropriate time.
Lex continued, "Usually, you must have a guild or company first because the Association and the Government cannot accept permission requests to keep the Dungeon gates open for individuals."
"He already has it, Mr. Brown." Jack replaces Alvin to declare that Alvin has met that requirement.
"W-what?"
"Mr Rufino already has it" said Jack again as he nodded slowly.
Lex was silent for a moment while still staring at Jack.
'You even helped him to get the company's license? You're really smart to find the right people to be allies with.'
"Then you will have to take care of the licensing on two more parties, Mr. Rufino. I'll approve the permission request to the Association if you've already managed to obtain the permission of those two parties."
Alvin frowned.
"Both sides? Don't I just have to ask the Association and the Government for permission, Mr Brown?" ask Alvin.
He remembered, from the information he had learned, he only needed the permission of the two parties.
