The Hunter looked at his watch then added, "Anyway, enough chatting for now! Go deposit your luggage in your room and meet me in thirty minutes, that is to say at 7 o'clock sharp for a jog, those who will be late will lose 50 points ! I'm forgetting those who have already bought hunter items, please take them, go ahead!
The authority of the mysterious Hunter was quickly established, after all a Tier-S Hunter was used to commanding dozens of men in a hostile environment, so commanding a docile group was not difficult.
Alexander received a message from William telling him to meet him by one of the fountains in the main courtyard. Alexander did so, and joined William and Marlon.
William replied "Individual accommodation is expensive, several thousand dollars for a single room, you'll have to share, I've seen that a shared room with three beds rents for $1,200 a month".
Marlon says "What!? 1,200$!? What kind of weed are they smoking? That's what my old man makes after 20 years of experience!
Alexandre replied "They're the only landlords within a kilometre of each other, with the exception of the hotel which accomodates visitors, so they take advantage of it, but if you've got a better idea than sleeping outside, I'm listening, Marlon.
Marlon thought about it but didn't answer.
William saw Marlon's lack of reaction and said "Well, I guess the decision's been made...".
The three men headed for the registration office, the time was short as many were still thinking about their long term strategy, after all money was a sensitive subject and this decision.
Just as it was time for the three young men to move on, someone walked past them and jostled William, it was a man with long black hair, he had dark skin, he was clearly of Indian origin The man seemed particularly rich as he had a set of metal armour covering his body and from what Alexander knew such a suit of armour seemed to cost several million dollars to buy, William reacted quickly and said "Dude! Get in line like everyone else!"
the man surprised that someone wanted to say something to him, looked superior and said "Didn't you understand what Jack Blade said? Here only the rich rule, the poor of your kind have only to submit! So get out of my way before I get angry, you loser."
Alexander would have liked to intervene but he hated playing the Super Hero who comes to everyone's rescue, so he said nothing and observed the scene.
William kept his cool and said, "I think you've misunderstood, here only merit counts, money is just a reward, not proof of superiority".
The man smiled and said "What's more, you've got the nerve to talk back to me, you coward! Or what about your mother? I'll throw her a bundle of cash and she'll get down on her knees".
William got carried away, his eyes turned blue, hunter energy began to run through his body, he put his fist close to his face and said "Let's see it again?
The man said "Oh la la! I'm so scared! What are you waiting for? Hit me!"
Alexandre said "Wait William, there's no point in losing points so stupidly".
The man saw Alexander getting mixed up and replied "Oh, if it's just a question of points, we can work something out, I can suggest that we do things unofficially, how about a duel in the academy's combat arena?
William replied without hesitation, "Whenever you like! wherever you want!"
The man replied "Tomorrow at 8 in the evening! I reserve the field!" then he looked at his Pip-Boy and said "My dear William Walton!"
