The Spirit Hunter System
Take Over the Tasks

"Huh? Are you serious, Mr Owl?"

James who was initially angry became confused. He then stared at Adam with a strange and suspicious expression.

"What's wrong?" ask Adam indifferently.

"I told you that the boy is only Chuunibyou .. Why do you still want to check on him? Don't you trust my abilities, Mr Owl?"

"I don't believe it. But the ability that you all awakened has nothing to do with things related to evil spirits.

If it's against a mutated human or beast, you guys are quite useful. While fighting an anomaly of some kind of evil spirit .. honestly, you guys are useless."

Hearing Adam's words, they all looked embarrassed. However, James did not seem to want to budge at all.

"Forget it, Mr. Owl. Let this case be closed."

"You can't be selfish like that, James." Adam shook his head lightly. "I don't care if you envy me for my achievements or fear that I will take your position."

"..."

"I don't want that position or money. That kind of thing is of no use to me. You must remember .. the reason why I joined the Department of Mysteries."

Hearing Adam's words, James who was initially overwhelmed with jealousy and envy immediately realized. After giving it some thought, indeed the figure of the masked young man did not care about many things at all. Doesn't want his name written, nor does it look short on money.

"Sorry ..." James who was somewhat emotional let out a long sigh.

While the two of them were so talking, the other three people looked towards Adam with confused expressions. They also wondered inwardly, why would someone like Adam who was not short of money enter the Mystery Department.

"It's okay." Adam shook his head. Sensing the other's gaze, he asked, "What's wrong?"

After some hesitation, Douglas raised his hand before asking.

"If you may know, why would your figure join the Department of Mysteries like this, Mr Owl?"

Adam looked at Douglas for a moment. He then leaned back in his chair while closing his eyes.

"Unlike you guys who are really pure good, I'm a killer. If I join, all my mistakes are forgiven for doing my duty.

That's the reason."

"You're good at making jokes, Mr. Owl." Douglas shook his head lightly with a smile on his face.

"Mr Owl seriously ..."

Hearing James' words, the others were shocked. They immediately looked at Adam with complicated expressions. It was unexpected that that polite and gentle looking figure was actually a killer.

"You guys must know the case about the gang fight in that abandoned building, right?"

"Don't say ..."

"Yes. Mr. Owl did it. He slaughtered those gangsters."

"But they have large numbers, even carrying firearms." Douglas still didn't want to believe it.

"I testify. I've seen Mr Owl's figure as fast, hard to catch. Moreover, he could actually dodge or fend off the bullets with the sword in his hand."

Hearing James' words made the others even more shocked. They did not expect the figure of Adam who initially only claimed to be a Cultivator could be that strong.

They thought Adam was just a martial artist, but it was not only martial arts.

"However, why should Mr Owl be found guilty? Isn't the other party an illegal immigrant, even a criminal?"

"You will sooner or later recognize the attitude of those officials."

Not waiting for James to reply, Adam immediately said in an indifferent tone.

"They violated Mr Owl as a threat" James said, shaking his head.

"Threat?" ask Carole who is confused.

"Yes. Almost everyone who has the ability is noted and marked with a certain level of danger. Of course some people who managed to hide were not included.

Mr Owl himself chose to join although his identity is not yet known.  According to the rules, we cannot force him to reveal his identity.

So whether Mr. Owl is young or old, male or female, and other appearances .. I myself have never seen him."

"..."

The others immediately looked towards Adam with shocked expressions.

"The point is, I want the job. You don't mind, do you, Chief?"

"No." James was already not thinking about jealousy and other things. "But don't be disappointed if it doesn't fit with what you're imagining."

"Just calm. I actually just wanted to see to make sure. I even wish I was just thinking too much."

"Then I will rest in the room, you can give me the address along with other information later or tomorrow."

"Mr Owl?" call James.

"What's wrong?"

Adam who was about to go up to the second floor looked back.

"Are you going to start living here?"

"No." Adam shook his head lightly. "I'll be here every Monday to Friday from morning to evening. Back to my own house at night."

"Well then ..."

Seeing that no one else asked, Adam returned to his room.

***

Next day.

In a big house that looked quite magnificent.

Seeing that, Adam let out a long breath. She remembers talking to Jennifer and Bella in the morning. The two of them seemed to be a bit unhappy that he was getting busy at work.

Knowing that he was going to have two days off and still come home at night made them feel quite relieved. Although there was no time where they spent the afternoon together, at least they still met every day.

"Are you Mr Owl?"

A woman dressed as a waiter asked.

"Yes." Yeah." Adam answered briefly.

"Mr and Madam have been waiting for you."

"Good."

Following the servant, Adam arrived at the living room where the married couple had been waiting. They were quite young, seemingly still in their early thirties.

"Declose, I'm Owl. Because my colleagues didn't really understand mystical things, I came to replace them."

"Do you also think our son is crazy and has psycho symptoms?"

"I can't confirm it before looking with my own eyes."

Hearing Adam's words, the couple looked at each other. The cold and hostile expressions on their faces seemed to have eased somewhat.

Clearly, it was due to the debate between them and James' side. Adam did not bother about it at all.

"What do you want to drink first, Mr Owl? A tea? A coffee? A juice? or the other one?" said the husband.

"No need." Adam shook his head lightly. "Can I meet your son? The faster, the better. I don't want to delay too much."

Although somewhat surprised, the man immediately replied, "Good."

The couple took Adam to their son's room.

Entering the room, Adam saw a room in light blue. Seen some shelves containing toys, there is also a bed with dark blue sheets with pictures of rockets and stars.

In addition, there is a small boy who is playing a toy robot there. She has bright brown hair and blue irises like the sky. Seeing her mother and father coming with a stranger, she seemed dissatisfied.

Ignoring the boy's expression, Adam asked immediately.

"If I may know, how can your son's right hand be like that?"

"Why do you know that the sick man is our son's right hand? Has your partner told you?"

Looking towards the couple who were looking at him rather strangely, Adam was a little surprised.

"Can't you see it?"

"You mean?" ask the man.

"Your son's right hand ..."

"Why? Doesn't that look ordinary?" The man said in a confused tone.

Hearing that, Adam's eyes narrowed. The young man then said calmly.

"In my eyes, your son's hand .. is as jet black as it is dipped in ink."
