Chapter 15 - Politics never dies

Aarav then looked at Karna. "Also learn this".

Aarav dropper a comedically large book, as Karna looked at he felt a bit of a dread, as he looked at Aarav.

Aarav just looked at Karna before he spoke. "Even do to the public they a Platinum rank Hunter, Indians 7th platinum rank hunter', and to everyone your a diamon rank Hunter, as a Platinum Rank Hunter you need to learn about Politics".

Karna just looked at the book before. "Fucking Politics never dies".

Aarav let out a hearty laugh, seeing the dread on Karna's face as he stared at the oversized book. "Yeah, well, being a Platinum Rank Hunter isn't just about slaying monsters. It's also about navigating the tangled web of politics that comes with power."

Karna sighed heavily, flipping open the first few pages of the book. "I thought becoming a top hunter meant I could avoid this stuff. Fight monsters, protect people—easy. But no, now I have to deal with this nonsense."

Aarav shrugged. "Welcome to the world of influence and power, my friend. Whether you like it or not, once you reach Platinum, you're not just fighting monsters anymore. You're dealing with governments, organizations, guilds, and even other Hunters who want to push their own agendas. It's a battlefield of a different kind."

Karna muttered under his breath, still flipping through the book. "Fucking politics never dies."

Aarav patted him on the shoulder with a smirk. "Exactly. But if you master this, you'll be unstoppable. A Hunter who knows how to fight on all fronts—physical and political. That's what it really takes to survive at the top."

Karna gave him a side glance, still not thrilled about the idea. "I'd rather fight a hundred dragons than sit in a room full of politicians."

"Trust me," Aarav said, walking away, "sometimes it feels like the same thing."

Karna then puts the book down. "God thank you for not already saying to the world I am a Platinum rank".

Aarav chuckled and looked at him. "Other new platinum hunter said that as well".

Karna just looked at him. "Yeah you guys told that you gave him a fake rank as well, Diamon just like me, so quick what is his name"

Aarav looked at him. "For your's and his safety and privacy I can't say it"

Karna raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair. "Ah, so there are more like me out there, huh? Other Platinum-ranked Hunters hiding under the guise of Diamond."

Aarav smirked. "Of course. It's not as uncommon as you'd think. The higher the rank, the bigger the target on your back. Not everyone's ready for the attention or the politics, so we keep it quiet. For now, you're still Diamond to the world."

Karna sighed, feeling a bit of relief but also more weight on his shoulders. "I guess I should be thankful for that… for now."

Aarav nodded. "Take your time. Use the fake rank to get your footing, but don't get too comfortable. Once the world knows, things will change quickly."

Karna shook his head with a wry smile. "Yeah, I can imagine. Just keep the politics away from me as long as you can."

Aarav chuckled. "I'll do my best, but it won't last forever."

Karna looked at when. "When will I be announced as one".

Aarav just looked at him. "Karna your 16 so is the other guy, so that is reason why it is going to be later and you have only been a hunter for 2 weeks, I don't care of you say your legally an adult sense you became a Hunter".

Karna raised an eyebrow. "So it's just because of my age, huh?"

Aarav nodded. "Exactly. You and the other guy are still young, and even though you're legally considered an adult as a Hunter, we don't want to throw you into the spotlight too soon. You've only been at this for two weeks. Let's not rush it."

Karna sighed, leaning back. "I get it. Just didn't think my age would hold me back, considering everything I've been through."

Aarav shrugged. "Experience and power are one thing, but public perception is another. You need time to adapt. Once you're ready, the announcement will come. Until then, focus on getting stronger and mastering the responsibilities that come with being a Platinum-rank."

Karna looked down at the massive book in front of him and grimaced. "Yeah, and I guess that includes this."

Aarav chuckled. "Welcome to the world of politics, kid."

Karna then looker at his bow. "What is your weapon, I wneve seen you with one".

Aarav let a flame in his hand. " Why don't you gess, after all what type of hunter do you think I am".

Karna looker at the flame them in Aarav hand he saw a golden bracelet with that of a golden like falem digine with a red gem.

Karna just looked at him before he spoke. "Mage?"

Aarav grinned, the flame flickering between his fingers. "Good guess, but not quite." He raised his wrist, showing the golden bracelet with the intricate flame design more clearly. "This is the Emberheart Bracelet. It's more than just magic—it's a conduit for flame manipulation, turning me into something of a battle mage, if you want to get technical."

Karna looked at the bracelet closely. "So, you don't use traditional weapons?"

Aarav shook his head. "Nope. For me, it's all about controlling and amplifying elemental forces. In my case, fire. With this bracelet, I can create weapons, shields, and even destructive blasts—all made of flame."

Karna nodded, impressed. "So, you're not a typical mage. You fight up close too."

Aarav's grin widened. "Exactly. I prefer the term Flame Battlemaster. But I don't need to rely on a bow or sword. My flames are enough to get the job done."

Karna glanced at his own bow, thinking about how different their fighting styles were. "Seems like every Platinum-rank hunter has something unique up their sleeve."

Aarav's flame flickered out as he folded his arms. "That's what separates us from the rest. We don't just rely on brute strength or traditional weapons. We become the weapon."

Aarav then spoke again. "But if you still want to get technically, I am classified as a Mages Type Hunter. He then poinrr at Karna. "Would be considered a Knight type Hunter".

Karna looker at him. "If I remember correctly the types of hunter classification are, Knight, Shielder, Rough, Mages, Healer, Monk".

Aarav nodded. "Exactly. The classification system helps determine a hunter's strengths and role in combat. It's not rigid, but it gives an idea of what to expect."

He then started to explain further. "Knight-types like you are focused on offense, using physical weapons, be it swords, spears, or, in your case, a bow. You have high combat versatility. Shielders are defense-oriented, protecting the team and holding the front lines. Rogues specialize in speed and stealth, infiltrating enemy lines and striking from the shadows. Mages like me manipulate the elements or arcane forces, providing ranged attacks or support, while Healers focus on keeping the team alive. Monks are hybrid fighters, using martial arts and a mix of offensive and defensive abilities."

Karna processed the information. "So, I'm officially a Knight type. Makes sense."

Aarav shrugged. "It's more of a guideline than anything. You could be classified as a Knight, but still have aspects of a Rogue or Monk, depending on how you fight. Same with me—just because I'm a Mage doesn't mean I can't throw a punch when needed."

Karna then thought for a moment before speaking again. "What about Platinum hunters? Do they follow the same classifications?"

Aarav smirked. "Not exactly. Once you hit Platinum rank, you're in a league of your own. By then, you've probably mastered multiple fighting styles, and classifications start to blur. That's why most Platinum hunters don't get bogged down with labels. They just do what works."

Karna nodded, understanding the flexibility of the system. "I see. So, what's next for me? More gates?"

Aarav grinned. "Always. The more gates you clear, the stronger you get. But don't get cocky—there's always something nastier waiting behind the next gate."

Karna just smirked looking at him. "So I still don't get why you keep saying hit Platinum rank, hunters stay the rank they are awaked as for almost there entire life, unless they get a Reborn"

Aarav looked at him. "Ah yes the Reborn process, if has been a long sense some in India had that, the last one was Ka"

Aarav's expression grew serious as he continued, "The last notable Reborn in India was a few decades ago. It's a rare and difficult process that very few go through. It involves a complete overhaul of a hunter's abilities and often their entire being. When someone is Reborn, they gain new strengths and potentially a new rank, but it comes with significant risks and uncertainties."

Karna furrowed his brow. "So, if someone stays at their rank without Rebirth, how do they progress?"

Aarav nodded. "Good question. Most hunters improve through experience, training, and acquiring better equipment. Higher ranks generally come with more experience and better skill sets. A hunter's abilities and strength can grow even within their rank, but the formal rank itself is relatively static unless they undergo a Rebirth."

Karna glanced at his new bow, contemplating. "So, the path to improvement is more about personal growth and mastery rather than just a change in rank?"

"Exactly," Aarav confirmed. "In the world of hunters, mastery of one's skills and continuous personal development are key. Ranks provide a guideline, but a hunter's true power is defined by their actions and experience."

Aarav continued, "A Reborn hunter can potentially rise from Bronze all the way to Diamond, but never to Platinum. Platinum hunters are on a different level altogether, and their rank is a mark of their exceptional ability and achievements. It's not just about strength; it's about a unique combination of skills, experience, and sometimes even destiny."

Karna raised an eyebrow. "So, what exactly sets Platinum hunters apart from the rest?"

Aarav leaned back, considering his words carefully. "Platinum hunters have often achieved the pinnacle of their craft through a combination of sheer talent, relentless training, and exceptional circumstances. They've faced and overcome challenges that most wouldn't even survive. Their skills and abilities are refined to a degree that's almost beyond compare. They're not just the best of the best—they're in a class of their own."

Karna looked thoughtful. "So, reaching Platinum status is about more than just raw power or skill?"

"Exactly," Aarav said. "It's about the culmination of everything a hunter is and can be. It's a blend of their past experiences, their growth, and the unique traits that define them. Even among Diamonds, Platinum hunters stand out because of their extraordinary achievements and the exceptional qualities they bring to their role."

Karna nodded slowly, understanding the gravity of what Aarav was saying. "I see. It's not just a rank; it's a testament to a hunter's entire journey."

"Precisely," Aarav affirmed. "And while you're on your path to greatness, remember that it's your personal growth and contributions that will define your place in the hunter world. Rank is just a reflection of that journey."

Karna looked at Aarav. "Thank you for being so will to answer all my questions".

Aarav just looked at him. "Most the answer you ask were in the internet, then again the information is little no wonder you decide to come to my guild, now my question will be joining my guild, will you be joining the Silver flames. Aarav looked at Karna as he said his guid names.

Karna looked at Aarav, contemplating the offer. "Joining the Silver Flames, huh? What's it like?"

Aarav smiled slightly. "The Silver Flames is one of the more prominent guilds in the region. It's known for its skilled hunters and strong community. We focus on a blend of tactical operations and individual excellence. If you join us, you'll be working alongside some of the best in the field, with opportunities to take on challenging quests and missions."

Karna considered this for a moment, then nodded. "It sounds like a good fit. I'm interested."

Aarav extended a hand. "Welcome to the Silver Flames, then. We'll get you set up with everything you need and integrate you into our operations."

Karna shook his hand firmly. "I look forward to it."

With that, Aarav led Karna through the next steps of joining the guild, detailing the process and what to expect. The integration would involve getting to know the team, understanding the guild's protocols, and participating in some initial missions to prove his skills and fit within the group.

As they finished up, Karna felt a sense of excitement and anticipation for what lay ahead.

Meanwhile in a different place in training room, as bunch of scientist were looking at Bhima as they were being over seen by Duryodhana, as he was looking at them.

Bhima pulled out his new club from another robot, as then another tryed to attack him he jumped of the way, as he then uses his power of the gravity's element and started to use the Branch of Wind as he moved the robot away, as then he slammed his club into the robot but the robot gut back up, as then he pulled his club, as the layers of the club slides up and down as a spike like end was shown, the club looked like a mix of spears and club, as Bhima then slammed the robot away

Bhima just looked at the Club. "Will that is new'

The scientists watched in awe as Bhima demonstrated his combat prowess, their eyes glued to the action. Duryodhana stood off to the side, observing with a critical eye. The testing was part of their ongoing effort to refine and understand the capabilities of the new weapons and equipment being developed.

Bhima's club, a formidable piece of weaponry, was a hybrid of a spear and club, designed to enhance both impact and versatility in combat. He swung it with precision, showing off its effectiveness against the robot adversaries. As the last robot was knocked down, Bhima examined the club's features with interest.

"Remarkable," Duryodhana said, stepping forward. "The modifications we've made to this weapon are showing promising results. It seems to be holding up well against high-intensity combat."

One of the scientists nodded, adjusting his glasses. "The variable configuration allows for adaptability in different combat scenarios. The spikes can be used for piercing attacks, while the club's bulk can deliver powerful blows."

Bhima nodded in agreement. "It feels balanced and powerful. I can see this being a game-changer in the field."

Duryodhana looked pleased. "Good. We need to keep pushing the boundaries to stay ahead of our competitors, like the Snow family. The new designs will ensure that we maintain our edge."

As Bhima continued to test the weapon, the scientists took notes and discussed adjustments. The focus remained on perfecting the club's design and functionality to ensure it met the rigorous standards expected of high-quality hunter equipment.

The training session wrapped up with Bhima satisfied with the performance of his new weapon. He left the room with a sense of accomplishment, knowing that his contributions were pushing the envelope in the world of hunter technology.
