"Your Courage that you shown me... Is really impressive. But is it truly a courage? Or an Idiotic Call that you made because you think you need to help them? Either way, whatever your intention might be. It impresses me."
The Figure is a male... But with long hair... I don't know who he is. But the thing is, he seems magical. First, he appear right behind me... Then, he appear right on top of the goblin, sitting like he's on a throne or something... And now... He's right beside me, leaning on the window.
"Your Name is Taiga. Your Status is already high for someone who's still 18 Years Old... Impressive once again. Seems like you never skip a day of training huh."
"... Well of course. But who are you?"
He still hasn't explain to me who he is... How is he capable to stop time? Who is he really?
"Oh My apologies. I tend to forget that I need to explain to people who I am. I am who you can call the 'Bestower' I awaken people to become what you call hunter. This is my realm. The realm of Bestowment. And as I explain earlier... Your courage is impressive."
Bestower? So you're the one who's awakening everyone huh... Wait... Does this mean... My time has come?
"Seems like you caught on pretty fast. The look on your face is priceless... Well then, my job seems to be easier than I think. Taiga! With this meeting. I bestow upon you abilities to fight abnormalities. Time will flow again in 5 minutes! Learn as much as you can and protect this place. You are the only hope of this place."
"... Wait! What about the other Hunter in this place?!"
"Other hunter? What do you mean Other hunter? You are the only hunter in this place. Aah! Don't tell me, there's someone that's acting like they're a hunter? That's concerning. They must've died then. Anyway. I have nothing to tell you anymore. Good luck."
The Bestower just explain to me that... He said that Jimmy is not a hunter... So that bastard is a scammer... Meaning, he must've died. Thank god. At least my life would be a bit easier...
Anyway... What's my ability look like? I can't wait to find out!
"Skill Information!"
I open my Skill Information. Skill Information is the only way for you to see your ability to the fullest. There's no other way for other people to truly judge your ability... Only you know your true ability and you shouldn't give everyone the information in your Skill Information.
I look at my Skill Information.. And it seems like I have 3 skills unlocked already...
'Apex Predator'
Whenever you kill an enemy, you consume their soul and have the chance to get their skill. You can only get the skill from the same enemy once everyday. But you can keep getting new skill if you kill other monster race
'Insatiable Hunger'
Every time you hit an enemy, it heals your wound and affect the enemy with Movement Slow and Confusion. Every time you kill an enemy, you get chance to double the drop.
'Sixth Heaven Martial Arts'
Enable you to use the Martial arts of Sixth Heaven. From the first style to the sixth style. Your Proficiency on this Arts is 0%. Continuous training will increase your proficiency. The more proficient you are in this arts, the stronger each style get.
Hoo? So basically, my skill sets wants me to just go in and kill as much enemy as I can and not worry about me dying...
Very good! This is the chance that I've been waiting! Apex Predator allows me to immediately get a skill from this goblin... And Insatiable Hunger allow me to kill as much enemies without worrying about my wound so that I can get double the rewards... These two skills are a perfect match for each other...
And Sixth Heaven Martial Arts... Is pretty cool sounding as well... I can't wait to see how well I can do it...
Wait a minute... Since we're in a time stop realm right now... Couldn't I just... Slay them all right now?
I walk over toward the girl... This girl... She's the one who suffer the same fate as me... I think her name is Myu. I pity you. I hope you can get awakened like me. We don't deserve to be treated like that...
But for now... Let me save you...
And... Because I think too much... The time ended... Time started to move again and I confuse Myu and the goblin with my sudden movement.
"Are you okay Myu?!"
I try to act natural. But can't help to let out some unknown high pitch noise due to panic. The timing is bad!
"Y-Yes! I'm okay! Y-You are Taiga right? A-Are you okay with fighting against 13 Goblin by yourself?! Should we just break the window and retreat that way?"
"Not a bad call. But it's too dangerous to jump... Don't worry... I will win. Just get ready to run... The moment we clear all 13 Goblins... We're going to run away."
"Okay. Let's run away after we clear them out."
Myu immediately grab a chair from the class... I just chuckle quietly. She's a strong girl, As I thought... Very well... I'll leave some of the support to you...
Sixth Heaven Martial Arts consisted of high level technique that shouldn't be used carelessly... But since I have no Proficient in it... I can use it at the lowest level ever...
"Sixth Heaven First Style: Earth Shattering Stomp!"
I dash forward and jump toward the middle of the goblin group... They immediately swing their blade toward me... But I already stomped the Ground... The floor started to crack. Releasing a massive wind gust up. Blowing all the goblins away....
As expected... I'm not strong enough to kill them using that... But for now... Myu safety is maybe one of the most important thing.
"Myu! Run toward me!"
"Okay!"
Myu throw the chair away and immediately run toward me... But the Goblin is faster than I thought... But I trust Myu... She manage to sneak away from the goblin and she immediately stay behind me...
"Are you a Hunter Taiga?"
"Yeah. I am a Hunter... So, you can leave the fight to me... Don't worry... I'm pretty strong."
"Alright then... I will make my way downstairs to see the situation. I will report to you immediately!"
"Alright!"
Okay then... The chance has presented itself to me... I will use this chance to the best of my ability!
