The Spirit Hunter System
Different From Hope

"You ... James?"

Despite knowing, Adam still asked suspiciously. It might just be someone with copycat abilities or something.

"Yes. It's me, Mr. Owl. Just come in.. Think of it like your own home."

Following James into the house, Adam saw the appearance of a simple-looking house. It looks like it has a little bit of furniture. Even the furniture is old furniture.

Looking towards the shy girl, Adam felt a bit strange. The young man could not help but ask.

"James, this girl is your sister?"

"Oh ..." James scratched the back of his neck. "Name Jasmine. Please don't think too much. She was a bit shy. Jasmine is not my sister, but a member of the City B branch's Mystery Department. Just like us."

"En?" Adam looked surprised.

"The other members have also arrived. You are the last. Yeah ... Some of them are also new like you, so take it easy."

"..."

Following James into the spacious living room, he saw several figures there.

A woman with bright brown wavy hair as well as blue irises. He was wearing office clothes and was a little nervous.

A middle-aged man with an honest face and a somewhat stocky body. Black hair cut neatly, with a mustache without a beard. She also wears formal clothing, such as people applying for jobs.

A young man with a disheveled appearance. Dark brown shoulder-length hair and brown iris eyes. Looks skinny and a little pale. The young man had the typical appearance of a street child, seemingly also fond of reggae music or something like that. Maybe two or three years younger than Adam.

The last one is ... Little kid. Yeah, a little boy carrying his school backpack. He had blond hair and blue eyes, looking like a noble. Ignoring the others he instead focused on the gadget in his hands.

"..."

Adam looked at James suspiciously. The man then put a wry expression on his face before replying.

"Including me, there are seven people who are in the City B branch's Mystery Department. Except for you, others are people who awaken special abilities.

Since everyone has already arrived, let's introduce ourselves first. Anyway ... We're going to be co-workers in the future."

James immediately tried to warm the atmosphere. He then pointed to himself before saying.

"As you know, my name is James Browns. The Department of Mysteries of City B.

Awakening the power of Pyrokinesis."

James then pointed towards Jasmine.

"Since this girl is shy and has the ability to relate to sounds, I will introduce.

Her name is Jasmine. He's awakening hypnotic abilities. Rather than hypnosis, it is more towards .. influencing a person with his speech.

Therefore, please understand if he is a bit shy."

After introducing Jasmine, James pointed towards the office lady before saying, "Please introduce yourself."

Standing up and saluting, the woman introduced herself.

"Me, my name is Carole. I worked at Company X. My ability is to increase strength after drinking alcohol" said the woman somewhat embarrassed.

James nodded, he then looked towards Adam before saying, "Please."

Hearing James' words, Adam nodded.

"Owl, a Cultivator."

"..."

Hearing Adam's words, the others were dumbfounded. Short, dense, and a bit confusing.

"Yes. This one of our colleagues is hiding his identity. Many call him Blood Owl.

As he said, Mr. Owl is a Cultivator. Similar to what you read or hear from a fantasy story or fairy tale."

Since Adam didn't explain much, James helped him explain. He then pointed towards the middle-aged man, "Please."

The middle-aged man stood up then saluted. Seems pretty nervous.

"My name is Douglas. Ex-chef. I have the ability to make my outer skin layer turn black, turn into a rubber-like substance so that it has a good enough defense."

James then pointed to the reggae youth. "Include yourself."

Rising from his seat, the young man scratched his head and was somewhat dazed.

"My name is Glenn. Ordinary student. Erp ... I have the ability to see very far clearly, although it is somewhat diminished at night.

Yes ... Like eagle eyes or something?"

After saying that, Glenn returned to his seat.

James smiled bitterly before saying, "Include yourself, son."

The blonde boy who had been focusing on the gadget came down from the sofa and stood proud.

"This one is called Lord Evan! One of the rulers of the future!

Lord Evan has awakened the incredible power of Telekinesis!"

A few seconds later, in front of everyone's eyes, the phone floated a meter above Evan's head then descended slowly.

Returning to pick up the object, Evan immediately pulled out a handkerchief and rubbed his sweaty forehead.

"Look! That is Lord Evan's power!"

"okay ... Okay ... Good job, Little Evan. You can go back to your seat." James smiled bitterly.

Hearing James' words, Evan puffed his cheeks.

"Call me Lord Evan!"

After saying dissatisfiedly, the boy returned to his seat.

Afterwards, James took out a leaflet containing their data.

Code B-001 \= James Browns (Fire Imp)

Code B-002 \= Jasmine (Siren)

Code B-003 \= Carole (Oni)

Code B-004 \= ??? (Blood Owl)

Code B-005 \= Douglas (Black Rubber)

Code B-006 \= Glenn (Green Hawk)

Code B-007 \= Evan (Lost Childe)

"What's in parentheses is our designation in future missions."

James explained with a lethargic expression.

"I don't accept it!" Evan raised his hand. "Why should I be called Lost Childe?!"

"This is an order from above, Evan. You think I like being called Imp? It's supposed to be Efreet or something, right?

Oni for a woman, that's bad too. Not to mention Douglas' 'Black Rubber. That doesn't sound good enough either."

Yep. In addition to Siren, the legend of the ocean that made the shipwreck sailor Jasmine. Others get nicknames that are somewhat unsatisfactory, although they do match their character.

Maybe only Adam and Glenn had normal nicknames. Blood Owl and Green Hawk. Sounds pretty normal and not too much.

"The people above that ..." Evan gritted his teeth. "Wait until this Lord Evan gets stronger and slaps them in the face!"

"..."

Seeing the vengeful boy left the others speechless.

"Because there is a chairman, so there must be a vice chairman. Mr. Owl .. from now on you will be the vice chairman."

"..."

Hearing James starting at will, the corner of Adam's lips twitched.

"Doesn't it have to be sorted by our code?" glenn asked in a somewhat confused manner.

"Oh. The code ... Is the order you register and are accepted. It has absolutely no effect on anything else."

"..."

The others went silent again.

"Is there another question?" ask James.

"What is the power of Cultivators? Why should he be the vice-chairman?

Clear ... Appearance suspicious!"

Evan, the boy pointed at Adam with a suspicious face.

"I don't want to be vice-chairman either" Adam added.

"A-Anu ..."

Carole raised her hand.

"Yes?" ask James.

"Will the salary really be paid now?"

"..."

Looking towards the several chaotic people around him, the corner of Adam's lips twitched. He could not help but complain inwardly.

Is it too late to regret it? It's completely different from what I imagined!
