March 4, Year 113.
*3rd Pov*
Hiro and his father, Kaito, are heading towards the hunter organization to register and become official hunters.
"Are you ready, son? Don't be nervous when being assessed, okay, "Kaito said with assurance in his tone.
I'm not nervous. I was just thinking at what rank I was getting assessed. Will it be an S rank or higher than that? "Hiro said while leaning to see many skyscrapers while one building stands out. It's the hunter organization and where they are headed to. A few
minutes later, they arrive and park outside while walking towards the building. Someone called out to them.
"Kaito! Kaito! Kaito!"Someone shouted while waving a hand.
Kaito and Hiro look at each other and then at the voice that called them out. Ahh,
it's Cray! ....Hi guys!, This is my son, Hiro. He'll be registering as a hunter today. " Kaito said while walking towards them. Hiro followed him and loomed at them curiously.
I see... What a fine young man we have here! So you are the son of Kaito here. I'm Cray, by the way, and these two are Bob and Marley. We are the teammates of your father, "Cray said while reaching his hand out.
"I'm Hiro. It's nice to meet you three... Dad, I will go on my own. You four just discuss while I register as a hunter, "Hiro said while shaking hands and then making his way towards the building. Okay, so
See you later! " Kaito said and began conversing with Cray, Bob, and Marley.
Hiro walks towards the building with his phone while trying not to bump into anyone. Arriving at the registration, Hiro inquired where to register as a hunter.
You go to the left and you will see the hunter assessment room. That's where you register to become a hunter. " The attendant said while pointing in the direction of the hunter assessment room.
"I see... Thank you." Hiro then walks towards the hunter assessment room and opens the door to see many people, some with a downcast face while others have happy faces. Some even cry, while others jump with excitement.
Hiro asked the person in front of him.
Excuse me... Is this where you register to become a hunter? " Hiro asked while the person in front of him nodded and said
"Yes, this is the place. You go to the counter there and answer the paper they give you. " The person said as Hiro nodded and thanked him.
Hiro then made his way towards the counter where the person pointed to and answered the question on the paper. Just the basics, like his name, age, etc.
Handing the paper The attendant nodded and told him his number, which is 169. Oh well, that
's quite a specific number. I'll wait here then and see if they can assess my power, 'Hiro thought, while the number of people diminishes as time goes by.
69..89..130..156..167..168..169. Hiro then moved towards the room where they evaluated the energy and told him to touch the orb. The room is simple with a big orb in the middle and a desk. That's all there is to it.
When Hiro touches the orb, it shines brightly like the sun, blinding everyone except for Hiro, of course, because of the Superior Adaptation. Whoa!?
... There's a new S rank in town!Call the supervisor and tell him that an S-rank has appeared! ...Please sit down first, sir. What's your name, Sir? " Attendant 1 said this while passing a chair to Hiro.
"Hiro, Kimura Hiro." Hiro said while shaking hands with the attendant.
I'm Jin Takao... Here's the thing, Mr. Kimura: Do you want to join the hunter organization? We will provide you with the best benefits and a good salary of around 2 million yen. Do you want to join the hunter organization, Mr. Kimura? " Jin said, with an eager tone.
"I will not do so."I'll create my own guild. I will not join the hunter organization, "Hiro said, while attendant 2 finally arrived with someone in a black suit.
But it's a good deal! Please think twice, Mr. Kimura. If you create a guild, it will be harder to get a dungeon on your own, and you need five members minimum to create a guild! " Hiro did not listen to him at all and just looked at his back.
Jin, who saw that Hiro didn't listen to him and instead loomed at his back, turned around and saw his supervisor walking towards them.
He's here! Mr. Kimura, please think twice before you create your own guild! " Jin pleaded desperately with Hiro.
So you are the S rank they are talking about... You're quite young, and you're probably inexperienced with guild management.You should just go on a safe route and join our hunter organization. " The supervisor said
No need to worry about me. I have an experienced hunter, Kimura Kaito, my dad. It should be enough, right? By the way, my name is Hiro Kimura, by the way, "Hiro said while shaking hands with the supervisor.
So you are the son of Kaito Kimura! Hahaha, like a father and son, I guess. By the way, I'm your uncle, Kimura Kenshin. I haven't seen your dad for 20 years now. You two can continue the evaluation while I entertain my nephew here, "Kenshin" said while laughing.
What's that? Your uncle?Why haven't I heard about you from your father then? " Hiro asked curiously.
"I see... So he didn't tell you then. I will tell you about our family name first and its origin. The Kimura family is a family full of strong hunters, and it's one of the families that helped fight off the monsters from the dungeons hundreds of years ago. While your father is the heir to the head of the family, he didn't like to be restricted, so he ran somewhere and it looks like he already had a kid. " Kenshin said.
"I'm two years older than your father and was born on September 21, 1970, year 70. How's your father by the way? Is he doing well? " Kenshin asks Hiro who's listening.
He's outside of the building right now, talking with his squad members. You should meet him while I get my hunter card. " Hiro said, while Kenshin just smiled.
No need, I'll just escort you to get your hunter card and then we can meet him together. I also need to talk to you about your grandparents. Your grandparents, Toru Kimura, your grandfather, and Meiko Kimura, your grandmother, have been waiting for your father throughout this year. The only reason we haven't seen your family is because we respect the decision of your father when he escaped from the Kimura household. " Kenshin said.
Hiro nodded as they got Hiro's Hunter card. The design looks the same as the HxH anime, with an additional S in the middle.
They walked outside while Kenshin talked about the Kimura household. Minutes later, they see Kaito laughing and talking with Cray, Bob, and Marley.
Father!Someone's here to see you! " Hiro shouted while Kaito turned around and saw Hiro walking with someone he hadn't seen for 20 years.
Kenshin!? Is that you?" Kaito asked in uncertainty. "Hey,
younger brother... It looks like you are having fun with your life now. That's good. Kenshin said, with a smile on his face.
It really is you! ... I'm so sorry about what happened 20 years ago. But why haven't you searched for me throughout these 20 years? " Kaito said while hugging his brother, who he had not seen for 20 years.
Well, we accept your decision when you don't want to become an heir and run away. We thought that you don't like being brought back, so we just waited for you to come back, but it looks like you finally have a family, "Kenshin said while patting the back of Kaito.
I see... I'm really sorry about that. Let's go meet the two children at home. Let's go introduce you! " Kaito said with excitement.
Also, how are the father and mother? Are they doing well? " Kaito said with a guilty tone.
They are doing well. But we don't have an heir in this generation because I don't have any women at all. While our youngest brother, Katsuo, is always in the dungeon and never finds someone to love. "Kenshin said.
They then talk while Cray, Bob, and Marley excuse themselves as Kenshin, Hiro, and Kaito go to their house so that Kaito can introduce Kenshin to his other two kids and his wife.
