A loud chuckle resonated the air. " Am not that easy to kill."
"I was right all along". Karl blurted out, unable to control the urge to tell the other hunter that hunter Bolu was an A rank hunter not a B rank one without receiving their condescending gazes. "You were suppressing your abilities."
"So?" Bolu asked with his eyes still focused of the slowly rising silhouette of the Kaiju rider that was about two hundred feet away.
"Why did you suppress your power for that long?." A curious Karl asked again.
"I don't have time to answer that." Bolu replied as he frowned deeply in concentration. "Get Judea as well as yourself, out of here."
"What about you?" Questioned Karl. He hoped Bolu was not thinking what he think he was thinking about, because if General Bolu thinks that he could fight a one versus two battle against the Kaiju and its master, then that was not only suicidal, but crazy as fuxk.
"I'll survive, worry about yourself ...and please." Bolu said in a voice that both commanded and begged. "Keep him alive."
Karl knew he was talking about Judea but before he could say another word to him, Bolu had already whistled away in such a speed, that the rushing wind almost threw them backwards again.
"Damn it." Karl muttered helplessly as he watched Bolu trying his best to battle two A rank beasts. He dragged Bolu aside towards the camp area and wondered what in the world was taking those A rank hunters long. He was about to curse when he saw a drone fly whizzed past him, it seemed like he had forgotten there was a broadcasting unit in his team.
"Cheers" A loud female voice rang through the large restaurant were fourteen people gathered together on a long large rectangular table. There were different kinds of meal there; mostly sweety foods like Hamburgers, pizzas, chicken wings, chicken laps, more chicken laps; although most of them were already half eaten; alcohols, lots of alcohols and lots.
"To Lady Anne." A tall brown skinned guy on glasses toasted with a champaign glass in his lifted right hand .
"To Lady Anne." Everyone replied with a drunken smile on their face.
"What's wrong with you, its your day, why don't you enjoy it." A gentle probing female voice, whose owner was Genevieve; a B rank hero who was a friend of Anne and was sitting besides her. She had red hair and shivering blue eyes that seemed to change to green in the presence of light. She wore a crimson and magenta coloured outfit that seemed to showcase her earthly figure which had the men behind her smirking like aroused wolfs. With a drink in her hand she nudged Anne to pick up her drink.
Anne sighed. She held the glass up and toasted with everyone albeit late, after that she drained the glass in a moment and set the cup down.
"Awwn Anne, I really can't help admiring your beauty." Genevieve said gruffly. It seemed like the alcohol was already getting into her since she was a person who could hold her liquor. "Gibe me you're beauty Annie."
"Jeez get a hold of yourself." Anne replied. She glanced at the rest at the table and saw them celebrating and talking animatedly to others, they were all here to celebrate her, but the one she had done all this to impress was not here. Anne's diamond shaped, fair and beautiful face turned to look at the door expecting the next person to enter to be him. Anne looked very young due to her great figure that almost matched that of Genevieve's but it was only due to her abilities, whenever she used too much of her abilities, her body cells enter a certain state where they aged old and gets compressed together with the newly created one. In another way to put it, she aged really slowly. She might not look it but she was actually in her seventies yet she looked like she was still in her twenties. There was only one man that knew her actual age and that was the man she was waiting for.
"Hey guys!" A brawny dark skinned man who was staying at the table opposite Anne's. " Check out the news... isn't that General Bolu!!"
Anne was in the process of ignoring any talk or chat and was trying to go back to her sweet daydream when she heard his name. With a speed that almost made her neck roll out, she whipped her head towards the TV that was held in the middle wall of the restaurant so that every one could see and saw Bolu, struggling to hold out against two A rank demon beast.
The man she loved had received a guarding call and had missed her celebration, the same man was fighting - barely struggling, against two A rank demons.
Were where the other hunters? At this rate General Bolu would lose his life and her chance of being with him would be zero. Standing up so quickly she startled Genevieve and almost turned over the table she hurried to the door with a confused Genevieve following behind her. She needed to help him, even though she had only become an A rank hunter, she as well as many A rank hunters would want to fight the demon beasts, each with their reasons, hers being that if she didn't she might lose General Bolu....
"What the heck is that!!!" A scream resonated from a woman while she pointed at the fighting figures in the TV.
Anne made for a stop and glanced again at the TV. The moment she did her mind went blank.
"Aura!" An overweighted bald hunter said as sweat dripped from his face. The aura was so powerfull it seemed to be seeping out from the TV itself.
"General Bolu has become an S rank Hunter."
"What the FUCK!!!?" Anne whispered with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
" I never knew he was this strong!" Yelled an already sobered Genevieve.
