The Hunter System
Chapter 6 - Daily Quest (2)
...Part 1: The Journey to Level 21...
...☆ ☆ ☆...
Alvin had just come out of his housing complex when he accidentally met Shiva, who seemed to have just returned from the mini market with two large bags in both hands.
Usually, one of them would instantly greet upon seeing first. However, for the first time Alvin was unhappy when he met his childhood friend.
'Well, of course we can meet here. The apartment is not far from here.'
["I don't know. You need to level up to get the skill to track the location of a person's residence."]
"... I'm not talking to you."
["..."]
"But, can you track someone down when I level up?"
["In due course, you will get a navigation system that you can use to track the location of monsters and track whatever you want."]
"That sounds so cool!"
While he talks to System, Alvin continues running without turning his head to Shiva, who is shocked to see Alvin pass him by.
"Alvin?!"
Shiva immediately shouted a call, but Alvin ignored him and instead sped up his run.
I don't know what's on that girl's mind. He immediately ran after Alvin without feeling shy or embarrassed, when Alvin was clearly ignoring him.
He left his friend when he was in danger. Worse, last time, Shiva also slandered him as a greedy hunter.
"System, don't I have some kind of skill to speed up my run?" alvin asks System when he realizes Shiva is after him.
["When you reach a certain level after completing a few days of daily quests, you will gain that status."]
"I'm asking for the moment."
["Your stamina will even be depleted as you run faster than this."]
Sighs...
With no other choice, Alvin finally stops and chooses to deal with it.
.........
"Damn. I've been calling you since. Why don't you stop?" shiva asked in between his gasping breath.
Alvin did not answer. He was silent to catch his breath while looking at Shiva with a sharp look.
Actually, that gaze was Alvin's normal gaze. He did have a normal, sharp gaze, which was actually very hated by the people in the Academy first.
The unfriendly look in his eyes was also one of the reasons why Brondy hated him so much.
Brondy felt that the weaker hunter seemed to be, unworthy of having the gaze of an eye like the gaze of an eagle.
Moreover, Alvin was also quite handsome. It was another 'value-added', which made the hatred of Brondy and his fellow men in the Academy pile up even more.
.........
"How are you?" shiva asked again, after Alvin seemed not to want to answer the question earlier.
Alvin grunted softly, then turned his face, staring at the vehicles milling about on the road.
"Hey. Are you angry?"
Hearing that sentence, Alvin finally turned his head to look at Shiva back.
"I think you should think about what you should say first, the next time you see me again." Said Alvin, who then turned around and left to continue his run without waiting for Shiva's response to his remark.
'Shouldn't he feel sorry and apologetic? Has he been like that for a long time?'
Unlike Alvin who thought Shiva would remain there, Shiva was chasing him again.
'Is he crazy?! Why is he still chasing me?'
["I don't know, sir. You can know someone's mentality when you've reached a certain level."]
"What?!"
["You'll find out later.."]
"alright. But.., I'm not actually asking you. I was just wondering to myself and was surprised by what you said."
["..."]
"Can you tell the difference when I'm asking questions from when I'm thinking to myself?"
["When you're at level 21, the System can sort that out."]
"Well, that's it.." said Alvin, wanted to end the conversation when he felt faster out of breath when he had to talk while running. Moreover, Shiva had also sped up his run.
As he was still running, a mechanical sound different from the sound of the Hunter System rang out in his head. It was the notification sound that he heard for the fifth time in the day.
["Happy master, you have reached level 5. You have opened two new statuses."]
"really?"
Alvin turned his head for a while and saw Shiva still a few meters behind him.
"Later. I don't want anyone else to see it."
["You don't have to worry about that. System Sound and System windows that only you yourself can hear and see."]
"really?"
["Yes."]
"Status window."
After Alvin called out his status window, a transparent black sheet appeared before him. The sheet remained in front of him and followed Alvin's running speed to stay in front of his eyes.
...■▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎■...

"Stamina? Is that stamina?"
["Yes, sir. From now on you will be able to increase your stamina capacity as well whenever you level up. You will also find it easier to know how much stamina you still have."]
"Then, what is a recovery system?"
["Recovery System is a point that will help your Mana, stamina, and health recovery, as you get a decline in those statuses. Your recovery points are currently at ten points per second. Thus, all reduced statuses would be restored by ten points per second."]
"So, I don't need to consume health and where are the potions anymore?"
["You're right."]
"Wow, that's so cool. I'll save more on spending because there's no need to buy those two potions anymore."
["The sooner you are at level 21 the better. You'll unlock some important statuses."]
Alvin didn't respond. If it reaches level 21 it means it will part with this tutorial system, which will probably make it a little sad.
["You don't have to be sad. The system that will replace me is much better."
"Ah.., I forgot that you are a reliable 'eavesdropper."
["Thank you."]
"..."
Alvin turned back to check how far he had left Shiva. Even if he was a D-ranked Warrior, with such innate weight and weight, he would naturally run carefully.
However, Alvin was a bit surprised when he did not see Shiva behind him anymore.
He then turned to various directions to see if Shiva had changed course to intercept him, but he did not see the girl around him anymore.
"Did he give up?"
......................
Alvin arrived at Hunter Academy 1 hour later.
At that time, there were many students who were using the gym as a training ground for body building.
Academy students usually practice in the gym at night after theory and practice.
The students who were training there, immediately turned to look at Alvin who was very striking among the people who were in that place.
Besides his tall and very thin body, also because his face is quite famous after the last few days appeared on various news airing hours on the official website of the City S Association due to the failure of the raid that occurred a few days ago.
After almost everyone recognized him, Alvin could immediately hear the students start whispering about him. Some sympathized with him, but not a few scorned him.
With a sharp look, though, Alvin immediately turned his head and looked at some people who he thought said with words that were very disrespectful to someone who almost died in a disaster that was not caused by the ignorance of the person himself.
However, when Alvin tried to hear again clearly what they were talking about, he finally chose not to care about them anymore.
'It turns out they insinuated me for thinking I almost died of greed. Well, I would probably think like them too if I heard the same news to others.'
She immediately recalled Brondy and Shiva, whom her brother told her about in the interview.
"They are jerks, indeed" murmured Alvin, cursing the two with an exasperating feeling.
