"Hello," Clay said in a chippy mood.
"This is the Hunter association service call what service do require" responded a monotone feminine voice.
This was the Association's AI, known as Huntress
"I have caused a mess in Starlight forest and require a clean up" responded Clay.
"Permission to get your location?" Asked the monotone voice
"Sure thing also how is the price of the clean-up decided."
"It's depended on the amount and types of bodies, on average a Non-elemental body clean-up costs 100 credits."
"I am paying for the clean-up with the bodies also I am not a hunter."
"Understood, but do be aware that as you are not a hunter you get paid less for each body."
"Yea I understand, nice doing business, bye."
20 minutes later a hovering truck rides up the hill. A tall man with a shaved head gets out of the truck and walks toward Clay.
"Hey, kid you called in the cleanup?."
"Yep"
"Where the bodies at?"
"Look over there"
"That's some nice Sniping skills you got, You a tech enhancer?"
"Nope, I have been using guns since I have been a kid." Clay lied while smiling innocently.
"I will take the truck down there and activate the clean-up bots. If you don't wanna take a risk with a beast attacking us and you having to pay extra. Shoot anything that comes near us."
"Sure thing, nobody likes paying extra." Smiled Clay.
The clean-up crew picked up 16 bodies. Each body sold for 200 credits getting him 3200 credits. The clean-up cost 1600 credits which left him with 1600 credits.
'The sniper cost me 46,000 credits. If I earn the same for 28 days I will recuperate its cost. This sniper is a steal. But by code freelancing and solving other people's code problems I earn that in a few days.'
'Good thing I hid all my online footprint while doing those jobs. Unless the Association tries hard to find my trail they shouldn't find anything odd. After all, I can say I am trained and gifted in using guns but also surely good at coding right after getting my blessing. They will surely connect that to a tech-related blessing.'
'My main goal now should be to get 20 in Arboreal, so that I can register in the association as a natural condition type. I will say that my power changes depending on what environment I'm in. I have heard about some blessings that are based on the current weather so it's shouldn't be absurd.'
After collecting his thoughts Clay drove home.
"With {Experienced} driving is so easy and fun, I am pretty confident I could participate in races and win."
*Ting Ting*
"Yo Sans what's up"
"Hey, your mom called and asked if we were hunting together. Wanna got to The forest?"
"My friend you misunderstood my mom thought we were hunting together cause I came to the forest today to get my first hunt in."
"Why did you go without me, newbies shouldn't move recklessly unless they have a wish to die."
"Don't worry I was just camping on a hill sniping non-elementals on the outskirts. It's the most pussy thing someone can do."
"Oh, did you even get a kill?"
"Yep got some kills."
"I guess as long as your safe. So does this mean we can't farm together? As a skeletal knight I have no super long-range attacks."
"Did you forget my blessing?" Smirked Clay
"No, because the only thing you said was that it's a surprise."
"We will hunt together. I just have to sort something out give me a few days. The forest outskirts are kinda boring and we're too weak to go to the inner circle. How about we travel to Cintara city to go in the dimension filled with flowers I forgot it's name."
"That's a good idea with my class I'm op there ofc unless u wanna go deep in the flower dimension which would be a bad idea."
"Nope no need to go deep in. Call you when I am ready, bye."
After finalizing the trip Clay drove straight home. After having dinner with his parents he showered and did his routine before going to sleep.
