"I see, how am I going to enter the Dimensional Dungeons to train or the Abyss Gate for a raid? To enter one of these areas I needed an ID issued by the Hunter Association, right?" Lucas said.
"That's correct, that's why we prepare a Temporary ID beforehand that's issued by your magical imprints. Before you enter a gate or dungeons just transfer a bit of your mana to your Temporary ID and then scan it, I know that you already know this kinda stuff, but this type of security is a must. This will prevent anyone from using an ID that does not belong to them." The man with a scar said as he reach out to his pocket and gave the Temporary ID to Lucas.
Lucas nodded and take the ID and safely put it back in his backpack.
"I appreciate your time with us in Hunter Evaluation, Sir, Lucas." The man said as he bow to Lucas and prepare to leave.
"Thanks! By the way, when can I get my official ID?" Lucas said his appreciation and ask the man.
"We will make sure to contact you using the information that you provided earlier, sir Lucas." The man stop and replied to Lucas.
"I see, thanks." Lucas said as he starts to walk outside the hunter association. After he got out he met a wave of people, he was able to recognize that some of them are reporters and the others are requiters.
'The fuck is going on?' Lucas thought while he struggle to get out of the wave of people.
"Hey, what's your Hunter Evaluation? May I know your rank?"
"Is your rank E? No need to worry our company is actually recruiting promising people like you! Just to make sure may I know your Innate Talent?"
"You're too old to awaken your talent, are you perhaps registered to become a hunter without your innate talent? You're too courageous! We can use someone like you, how about this I can offer you $10,000 right away. What about it?"
Lucas was bombarded with countless questions about his talent and rank, and he also receive a suspicious offer of $10,000 without even knowing what his talent and rank is. But he truly underestimate the people around him, they swarm people immediately and didn't even care if the person was hurt or something. As he struggled to get out he unconsciously activate his Innate Talent, Momentum!
[Innate Talent - Momentum: ACTIVATE!]
He suddenly felt a change in his body and notice that he activated his Innate Talent.
'Shit, I unconsciously activate my talent. I need to get myself together or I could hurt people.' Lucas thought but suddenly he notice something different, slowly but surely his body is overflowing with power and vitality, and because of this he was able to stable his footing, a wave of people still being pushed towards him but with the Innate Talent, he's like a Mountain, they cannot push him neither move him. Lucas is simply standing paired with his eyes looking coldly at the people in front of him.
They wasted too much of his time and for Lucas time is important as he wanted to get stronger as soon as possible. He had plans today as he wanted to train and familiarize his body with his current status he wanted to make sure how exactly strong is he, after that he will enter a gate for an actual battle. But these people hinder him and make him use his talent as well.
"Get. Out. Of. My. Way!" Lucas said it one at a time as he look directly at them.
Numerous people already felt his gaze and before he ask they had scattered around already, everyone immediately runs off and make way for Lucas. To their understanding, Lucas is simply registering his rank today and they have no idea what's his actual rank, they wanted to know so much once they saw him, but because of his looks, build they thought that he awaken a rare talent or get a rank higher than normal people. They're correct about his talent and his rank is currently undetermined, but they didn't know that and continue to pester Lucas.
Some of them are ex-hunters they have years of experience and fought countless battles as well. But seeing Lucas's gaze made them feel powerless.
After they moved aside, Lucas continue to walk towards his first destination, although the situation wasted some of his time, he was able to gain additional understanding with his Talent.
After a while, the reporter and recruiter notice that Lucas is already far away and they slowly regain the power to stand up.
"What's with him, he didn't look at me. I think his gaze passed me by, but I felt countless cold sweat on my back."
"It's like a gaze of a predator looking at its prey, I once felt this when I was at the gate."
"I don't know why, but I like to pray to someone who's going to mess with that guy, I've been a hunter for three years and his killing intent is very heavy. I think he let it slip out into his body a bit to scare us, but I was about to pee myself when I felt that,"
"Just what battle did that guy gone through to have that kind of aura?"
"I don't know but it's best not to know." The guy in a suit said, as he stabilize himself and return back to his station and continue to recruit a hunter.
In a moment the people that surround Lucas earlier return to their own station and continue their work, like there's nothing happened. They didn't take it at heart, they didn't blame Lucas for showing that kind of attitude to them, they're already used to that and it is also a common occurrence, they're already used to it.
On top of the building of Hunter Association, a woman in a black suit and pants is watching the whole scene, she also watches how the issue has escalated. She was about to send the guards to help Lucas with his situation but she saw a mana fluctuation around him, and this pique her interest in Lucas.
She didn't know what exactly did that Talent do to his body but she felt a surge of power around Lucas's body.
"So that's the guy who broke one of the Evaluation balls, correct?" She said.
"Yes, ma'am." The guy who's talking was the one that Lucas was having a conversation with earlier, it was the man with a scar on his face.
"Good, make sure to monitor him. Don't get close or he will detect you." The woman said.
"With all due respect ma'am, I don't think that this man is very perspective around him, I'm sure he will not notice me lurking at his back." The man with the scar said.
"Oh, he will. Just do as I said and report to me if there's any news around him, just interrupt if he's in danger, understood?" The woman said.
"Yes, ma'am." The man with a scar said, he didn't question the order and immediately leave the room.
The woman is still looking at the window, she has his eye on a particular way where Lucas is. She also remembers that while she was watching the whole scene down the building. She was sure that Lucas look up to her as well, currently, she's on the 4th floor where a meeting can be held but his actual office is on the 29th floor. At this point, she was sure enough that there was something different with Lucas.
"Just what are you hiding, Lucas Gray?" The woman said as he return to his seat and pull up one of the files on his computer. It's actually Lucas's evaluation report. She was looking into it and she was impressed every time she looks at it. She continues to evaluate Lucas who has the potential to be a Hunter S rank. She's currently in his thought and it's unknown what's she planning to do.
...
After a moment, Lucas had already arrived at one of the Towers, a Dimensional Dungeons where he can finally familiarize his body and his strength. The tower where he's going to train is called 'Pits of the Forest Marsh' It's a tower which is amazingly similar to every tower in the world, it can contain a forest, mountain, river, etc. And this tower theme is about the forest.
Where the common enemy consists of Wolf, Bear, Slime, etc. But don't underestimate these creatures, even if they're the most common creature, they were able to kill countless hunters who were not careful with their lives. Just because they're common doesn't mean they are like normal animals. Every type of creature has a core on its body that contain mana, the larger the container or core the larger the mana and the stronger the creature. Basically, every creature that has a core on its body is mutated and much stronger than its average species.
