Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 : Puberty

"Please" A man in a suit and tie said, he guided the woman in front of him with his hands that seemed to say 'come inside' in a gentlemanly gesture.

The woman then followed what the man intended and went inside the room to take her hunter's evaluation.

Isaac was now next in line, he couldn't wait to leave this 'sophisticated' place anymore as he was receiving more and more attention from both parties.

He bought the mask in order to not gather attention, but that doesn't seem to take any effect.

Isaac was the tallest in his line, he had a clear handsome face that was only halfway covered by his mask, and a perfectly toned body. His existence itself was practically begging for attention. And Isaac himself doesn't seem to quite get it.

Now sensitive to the attention he was unintentionally gathering, he felt a unique attention that was aimed at him. He darted his eyes from left to right in order to look for the source but failed, there were just too many people inside the hunter's centre.

But it was just him who failed.

[I have pinpointed the target's location master.]

The second that Wis finished talking, Isaac was guided by Wis and his head turned to a certain direction.

Of course there were still many people, but amongst the crowd, a certain person was emitting a fighting intent that was aimed at Isaac.

Isaac didn't to narrow his eyes, he could clearly see the man that was emitting an aura off his body and it was directed at Isaac.

'He wants to fight?' Isaac thought narrowing his eyes and a smile slowly forms on his face. Answering the man, Isaac also emitted his own intent towards the man.

And what Isaac did made the man more interested in fighting him.

[I believe so master, but do not forget why master came here.] Wis replied, reminding Isaac what he came here for.

Then all of a sudden, Isaac eliminated the intent that was coming from his body as if it never had existed in the first place.

'Yeah... My bad.'

"Sir, sorry for the wait, please head inside." The same man who guided the woman earlier called out to Isaac.

The man didn't know why, but he was being extra polite at dealing Isaac. He just felt that he should treat the man in front of him like a VIP.

Isaac looked at the employee for a second and nodded slightly at the employee. He went inside the moment the woman who took the test earlier came out.

The employee went inside after Isaac before closing the door. However, this didn't stop Isaac from hearing the woman celebrate: "Yeees! I'm a D-rank White Mage!"

White mages are super important to raids, as even the lowest buff from them can make a significant difference in a hunter, especially the higher ranked White Mages since their buffs are practically giving you wings in a fight.

Even D-rank White Mages gets payed a lot higher than the other classes of the same rank. No wonder the woman was so excited about hearing that she was a White Mage.

"Please sit down." The employee earlier courteously asked Isaac as he offers a comfortable chair for Isaac to sit on.

Isaac didn't deny the offer and proceeded to sit down.

"Please tell me your name." An employee sitting in front of a desktop computer asked, ready to input Isaac's information in the computer.

"Isaac... Isaac Jaeger"

The tapping of the keyboard could be heard as the woman typed away Isaac's name.

"Isaac Jaeger, F-rank hunter. Is this your second evaluation?" The employee said.

"Yes."

'It is always the F-rank hunters/I got deceived by the feeling of dignity he exuded.' Both of the employees simultaneously thought.

They didn't voice out their opinions on Isaac and kept their business attitude. If only they could exempt people like Isaac, their job would take less time.

But what could they do? They're just normal people who got hired for evaluating 'special' people. So they have no choice but to faithfully do their job.

Isaac always knew that normal people and higher ranked hunters always discriminated the F-rank hunters inside their mind and heart, some keep it to themselves while some openly shows their disdain at the F-rank hunters.

Even without his heightened senses Isaac knew what was running within the employees thoughts. He was used to it, but something was bothering him.

Usually he would just take it like nothing, but now as a vampire who feel emotions strongly, his heart was in turmoil. He was having the urge to punish these beings that was in front of him.

[Master, please calm down.] As if like a triggering device, Wis's words made Isaac instantly calm down.

'... Sigh.' Isaac sighed.

Isaac understood that he was changing, both mentally and physically. He didn't go crazy knowing the fact that he wanted to punish these employees as if that was the most justifiable thing to do, he was now starting to embrace his new normal.

"Please put your hand inside the scanner." said the employee.

A scanner is a cube like device that has enough space for any hand sizes to fit, it is responsible for identifying the user's class, stats and evaluating the user's rank.

Isaac didn't answer the employee and just did what he was asked to do.

Seeing Isaac puts his hand inside the scanner, the employee tapped the button to start scanning.

[Scanner Detected. Tweaking a little bit of information considering master's circumstances... Tweaking Completed.]

BEEP

A beep sound was heard and the result came out as soon as Wis finished talking.

"Eh?" The employee made an unexpected sound.

The employee didn't doubt his eyes at what he was seeing, the scanning device has never been wrong at evaluating someone.

And as a person who just worked in this business for two years. This was the first time the employee has seen such stats and rank, the man in front of the employee was one of the strongest in their country. The man was an S-rank hunter, their country's thirteenth S-rank hunter.

The twelfth S-rank hunter was evaluated more than six years ago. Suddenly after more than six years, an F-rank hunter got re evaluated as an S-rank. Surely this will be a huge scoop for reporters.

The employee panicky stood up and bowed his head 90° and said: "Please wait a moment! I'm gonna make a quick call to my superior to notify about the situation. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!"

His partner was so confused looking at the situation in front of him. He walked towards to the apologetic employee and whispered beside the employee's ear.

'Ben what's happening?'

'Matthew you idiot! He's our country's thirteenth S-rank! Make sure to bow politely.' the employee, Ben replied and quickly made Matthew also bow in 90° with his right hand.

"Please excuse my uncourteous subordinate."

Seeing the 180° sudden change of attitude towards him, Isaac couldn't help but flash a mocking smile.

Isaac was always the man who treat others how they treated him. If they treated him with respect then he would also treat them respect however these two employees in front acted rudely at him. Although they didn't show it, this didn't escape Isaac.

"Yes... yes... I understand... Goodbye."

Isaac could see the employee named Ben frequently bowing in empty air while talking to his superior over the phone.

Ben puts his phone inside his pocket and hurriedly went over to Isaac and bows once again before he started talking.

"My superior wants to have a moment with you, sir."

Isaac stood up from his chair and started walking towards the door. Ben and Matthew just stood while watching Isaac, they didn't want to act rude towards Isaac and got killed for it.

S-Ranks are beings that are not chained by the so-called law of the Government and the Hunter's Association. They are like walking bombs that if you tick it off then it would explode at you.

Like the situation right now, Ben and Matthew understood that fact and remained silent. If they misstepped even a little, there's a good chance that their heads are going to roll on the floor.

Isaac reached for the door handle and opened it.

"Tell your superior that I have someone to meet right now. Tell him, to call me tomorrow, if he calls me now or later and not tomorrow, expect that I will never answer his call ever again." Isaac said before leaving.

He vanished into thin air leaving the mouths of Ben and Matthew wide open at the sight they saw in front of them.

Meanwhile, the man outside that was itching to fight Isaac was quickly forgotten by Isaac.

***

"What did you tweak Wis?" Isaac said, and was now on his way to his house.

He needed to face his parents and tell them that he had hit puberty. Yes, puberty.

[I tweaked it in a way that it will show that master is a Mage that deals with Darkness attribute, and hiding master's race, which is a vampire.]

"Are vampires not known by humans?"

[Vampires are known globally by the early days of mankind. However, as time passed they were slowly forgotten and the vampires became more cautious at dealing with humans. Much to now that humans have acquired powers, that is why today there are little to no vampires being spotted and known by mankind.]

"Hmm... Okay, thank you Wis." Isaac said with a smile.

[You are always welcome my master.]

Isaac didn't know why but an image of Wis with a slightly red cheeks saying those words came into his mind.

He shook his head and focuses on the familiar building.

Isaac stopped at the entrance of his home. Several thoughts came into his mind. Thoughts like: 'What if I'm not accepted by them?', 'Should I just bail?', 'I got this... Or maybe I don't'.

[Master knows master's parents well. Surely they will accept you. After all there is only a little difference between a human and a vampire.] Wis affirmed Isaac's thoughts.

'You're right... Thank you Wis.'

Isaac shook his head and got rid of those negative thoughts. He took a deep breath and gently knock three times at the door.

Isaac with his heightened senses, could hear light small steps. He could guess who was it that was coming at the door even with his eyes close, his little sister Eleanor Jaeger.

Surely, a cute voice coming from his little sister was heard: "Coming~"

Eleanor Jaeger, is the youngest of the siblings. She stood at a height that was just enough to reach Isaac's waist. She had a short pitch black hair that only reached her neck and a pair of deep blue eye that she inherited from her father.

Isaac couldn't help but make a small loving smile as he saw his little sis slowly opening the door with her small hands.

"Brother?" Eleanor said in a questioning manner while slightly tilting her head to the right.

"That's right Elle, it's your brother~" Isaac playfully said and was about to step inside the house and lift his little sister Eleanor up when he heard another voice.

"Eleanor get away from that man!" A woman yelled as she went quickly by Eleanor's side and grabbed her.

"Wha-"

"Who are you what do you want from... Isaac? Is that you?" The woman said and hesitatingly went over to Isaac and started inspecting Isaac from head to toe.

"Yeah... It's me Isaac!" Isaac said confirming the woman's thoughts.

"Did you go for a model training course or something?" Said the woman as she continues to stare at Isaac in full amazement.

She couldn't believe it, everything about Isaac now just didn't feel real to her.

"What are you talking about sis. Puberty just hit me."

"Puberty my a-" she stopped and looked at Eleanor for a second before continuing "Puberty your face." she said with a disbelieving look.

Well, who would believe that kind of shit? If puberty was the reason for it then everybody on earth would be perfect.

"I've always known you since you came into this world, if you can't tell me why then you must have a reason why. And I understand you, everyone has one or two secrets they can't share to others."

Her sister was always the person who doesn't pry into someone else's privacy. The same goes for his mother and father, this is one of the reasons why Isaac loves his family.

"And... Oh, Mom and dad's out to the supermarket, they would be home in half an hour or so."

Isaac smiled and went inside as he lifted his little sister Eleanor up and kisses her cheek.

"I hope they'll accept my puberty change." Isaac joked.

Eleanor looked at her two older siblings laughing with a confused look.
