The sun shine in face forcing me to wake up.
I when got up, I looked around his room, there was a machine called a "refrigerator" in his small kitchen, which also had some weird things like a faucet.
'Couldn't they just use a mana stone imbued with water magic instead?'
In the corner of his room was a desk and and on it was a weird black screen thing and a machine full of buttons that has letters on it.
And then I look at Hugo.
The way he sleeps makes him really defenseless as if trying to wait for that ringing device, called a alarm clock.
When I look at him I found myself blushing.
'Does...does he like me?'
'I mean yesterday was kind of a date right? he even bought me that dress as a gift'
'That night, he even said that we weren't in that relationship yet'
'Yet! that definitely means he likes me right?'
I shake my head trying to clear that thought and headed to the shower.
After showering I wore my hunting clothes and decided to do some maintenance on my rifle.
I cleaned the inside, the barrel and I also sharpen the knife bayonet on the tip of my rifle.
I also started making more bullets using the remaining cartridge cases on my small backpack.
When I opened my small backpack, there was only 12 more cases, 1 leftover bandage from that kit that witchtaker Hanz's gave us and the 5 fire resin that we forgot to use.
After making 7 bullets, I hear a ringing sound.
When I look at the source of the noise, I saw Hugo turning it off.
"Hmmm...mornin..."
"Good morning"
Hugo slowly went to the sink and started brushing his teeth and then grabbed his towel and went to the bathroom to shower.
While I was finishing up the 5 remaining bullets, I could hear screams from the bathroom 'GOD THAT'S COLD!'
'What did you expect dumbass, the has sun only started to rise and you thought it was a good idea to take a cold shower?'
After I finished making the bullets, Hugo got out of the shower and made his way to his closet and he grabbed the same black coat and black pants that he always wore for combat.
I did him the favor and looked away from him.
After a small breakfast, we get out of the apartment and saw Mrs. Caroline waiting for us.
She was not wearing her suit but instead wearing a more casual outfit.
"You really think you could shake me off that easily, Oh! good morning Mrs. Cynthia"
"M-morning"
"Well unfortunately, Cynthia wants to know more about the hunters guild and how the demonic creature became a such a common monster so you can't come today"
"Wait what! is this true Mrs. Cynthia?"
"Well umm...yes"
When I looked at her, she was quite frustrated but I could feel more worry in that expression than frustration.
'She really cares huh?'
"Then I'm coming with you"
"Huh?"
"What?"
A somewhat childish proclamation came out of Mrs Caroline's mouth.
"Not happening"
"Why not?"
"We dont even know if you can even be accepted as a hunter"
"Then let's find out for ourselves then"
"Caroline, your a grown ass adult, learn to give up"
"Well 'Mr. Hugo' us ADULTS has been taught to never give up"
"You *sigh* fine, if the guild doesn't allow you, your going home alright? I'll make it up to you tomorrow"
"Fine"
"Good, let's go...Cynthia?"
"Oh sorry, let's go"
I found myself slightly smiling seeing the way Hugo and Mrs. Caroline talk to each other.
It was the first time I ever saw the stoic Hugo being troubled.
While we were making our way to the hunters guild, one of the screen in the buildings had an announcement.
"With the discovery stasis magic, the hunters guild is currently trying to get approval from the government for mass production of the stasis band"
"The concept of stasis band is simple, using space and time magic, the hunters weapon will be stored inside a small space and using time magic, the weapon will be put into stasis which will make it easier to draw their weapons"
"Currently the full details of the stasis band is still unknown and in just a few months we will be able to see their true value if the government approves of it"
'They just discovered stasis magic?'
I was quite surprise about it since in my world when time magic and space magic was discovered, we immediately tried to combine them with every other magic we discovered so far.
'I guess they're too busy putting up laws to prevent them from causing unimaginable damaged to their surroundings'
After some time we were in front a familiar building, the hunters guild.
When we entered the guild, the hunters was looking at the billboards full of request.
They were taking request and leaving immediately without minding us.
While I was looking around, Hugo was already talking to the young receptionist about Caroline's registration to the hunters guild.
"Of course she can join!"
"Heh"
"*sigh* fine...you can join..."
"Good, let's take some request then"
They were three billboards with different types of request, the hunting request billboard had request where you must kill a specific creature and take it's core.
The gathering request billboard contains request that require you to get a specific item like herbs and such from the place known as "Mana Zone"
It was named after the discovery of mana during the "Invasion of the new world" also known as "The meteor's Invasion"
The mana zone covered nearly 10 percent of this world's surface.
< The wanderer's world had a population of 150 billion humans living in it and was 50 times bigger than the planet known as earth which was 5 centillion light years away from this world >
The mana zone is a place where the meteor was closest to therefore had a vast amount of mana which mutated plants and creatures.
The last one is just simply called "Raids"
This was a group hunting request where about 6 or more hunters will group up and take on a place called a dungeon.
After Hugo's explaination
We looked at the billboard that has been categorized as "Hunting request" and as expected, more than half of the request was to kill a demonic creature.
We took the request called "Hatred Extermination"
The description was:
Kill all of the roaming Hatred in the southeast forest
Required condition to take the request: A silver ranked hunter
Clear Condition: At least 14 hatred souls
We headed to the same building where we bought those mythril.
Hugo bought a katana and I he gave back the sabre that I gave to him.
Mrs. Caroline was having a hard time trying to find a weapon that Hugo approves of.
'He doesn't want her to be in the front lines but she also doesn't trust her covering his back with a ranged weapon'
"Hey Hugo"
"What?"
"How about a reusable healing wand? We could use some support"
I smile at him signaling that I understand the situation.
Hugo nods and bought a wand as long as her forearms which was embedded with a mana stone infused with healing magic.
Next we went to the clothing store and bought Mrs. Caroline some clothes that made movement easy and quick.
And the our last place we visit was a general store.
We bought a 3 bandages, 10 life herbs and a beserker potion.
A potion that apperantly disables your pain receptors and increases both your regenation and strength.
Hugo put's the beserker potion in his small bag in his waist and gives the bandages and life herbs to Mrs. Caroline who was carrying a small backpack.
And with our preparations done we went into the southeast checkpoint.
The checkpoint was quiet similar to a castle gate and beside it was small lines in the ground which I presumed was a barrier.
The guard there explained that after leaving this city, you are no longer protected by the laws of this city unless you either make it back here or reach another city.
After passing through the checkpoint the middle aged guard warned us.
"When you are overwhelmed, swallow your pride and run away like a coward"
"Your all still quite young, so don't waste your life"
"Don't worry, We will come back alive and well"
"Hmm...go for it then"
We left the checkpoint and soon the forest was on sight.
