Chapter 44: After the yearly exam (3)
"A new message?!"
How could he miss a message from Miss Charlotte? Hunter blamed himself for not instantly replying, believing that it hurt his friend.
Well, he wasn\'t really that good in this field.
Opening the app and checking the message, Hunter was bewildered to see that he had received… what was known on Earth as a selfie. His first teacher… sent him a picture of her smiling face straight from the bath, with her hair still wet and cheeks and shoulders reddened by the hot water!
She was also… naked, wasn\'t she? There was a slight sneak peek at the softness sticking out below her collarbone!
But that happy smile and eyes looking straight into Hunter\'s heart was so lovely and adorable that he nearly lost strength in his legs… or perhaps he had just forgotten how to stand still.
[Thank you for sharing your story with me, Hunter. I won\'t lie. I was mostly concerned about my little sister. I even had mixed feelings when you defeated her… but with your potential and strength, you\'re the only one who can awaken more of her talent. She\'s much more talented than me, you know? But that talent is what allowed her to waste years and be a solo hunter without proper experience. Haha! I can\'t talk too much about her, can I? This is our private message… so here\'s a photo of me being relieved and ecstatic after killing Aza\'s twin sister. Keep that as our secret, okay? P.S. I never knew that taking selfies and sending them to someone can be this exciting. All doubts and questions of my younger self are getting cleared now. Share more of your moments with Sera… and I might send you more of myself? What do you think?]
\'Father-in-law! Can you see this?!\' Hunter inwardly screamed now that not only Seraphina\'s father had lent him his support, but also Charlotte wanted him to be with Seraphina!
At the very least, she expected him to be teammates with the crimson-haired little sister!
\'Their dark eyes are indeed the same! It means they dye their hair, right? Oh! I can use this to reply!\'
As Hunter typed back to Charlotte, weaving Seraphina\'s topic bar his comment on Charlotte\'s selfie, which made him so excited he genuinely shared the reaction that occurred in him, Hunter quickly caught on that Charlotte cared a lot about Seraphina and ensured he\'d take care of her.
[I\'ll learn about your natural hair color from her, Miss Charlotte! Ah, but it\'s so nice to see you so happy! Makes me want to kill more of those ugly women and share my excitement and respite with you. I long since accepted that there\'s something wrong with me, though.]
[But… that only makes me more aroused?]
[I love this part of The Hunter World!]
[Haha! So cute!]
[This time, I don\'t mind being cute!]
-
Thud!
Hunter opened the doors to the special medical room of two, entering inside after respectfully knocking. What he saw was naturally a golden-haired and crimson-haired woman sitting in their beds, resting their backs on the soft pillows.
Each was quiet and in their own world, holding tablets in their little hands.
"It\'s so good to see you awake! At last, right? These are tablets-"
"I know what a tablet is."
"Same."
Awkwardly coughing, Hunter dragged the chair between Aimee and Seraphina\'s beds, then silently took glances at their side profiles.
They were looking fine, albeit still quite pale.
"Have you two introduced each other?" Hunter nicely asked, receiving curt nods from his two teammates, who were more silent than ever before.
It was kind of expected from Seraphina but not from Aimee herself. Which was why Hunter decided to speak with her first, talking about her experience during the demons\' invasion. He told her that he had learned about it from the article and that he approved of what she had done.
However, Aimee had different plans for the first conversation after the yearly exam.
"My innate skill is Transfer, and it\'s currently B Ranked. During the second exam, to save my life, I transferred the lethal wound to one of the participants, killing her. I… I wasn\'t born to be a mage, though, so my mana is lower than you think it is… and transferring one fatal wound is enough to wear me down to the core. Which is the reason why I\'m a laughingstock back in my house. My elder sister was born with S Skill — Freeze — and inherited our precious black mana, which turns her ice into black crystals, indomitable and ever freezing."
Hunter and Seraphina listened in silence.
"Your innate skill can\'t be an unlimited stamina, Hunter. It has to be something else, for innate skills help us learn other skills and are often the base of our future. I use Transfer alongside self-learned skills: for example, I use Transfer to speed up mana flow within my veins and have it strengthen my movement skill and Agility Origin. You haven\'t seen my full speed yet… so, what\'s your innate skill?"
That question resounded aloud in Hunter\'s mind.
He couldn\'t tell her that he was Deathless… and that his innate skill connected him to Death and Undead. In fact, now that Hunter turned into Dullahan, he felt like even his human body was closer to undead, for he didn\'t have to eat, sleep, or even take a dump, right?
He still had those awesome privileges, for example, blood… and penis raising blankets.
Nonetheless… why was Aimee asking him this?
As the silence remained, Aimee faintly smiled, "I have received a guild invitation to the White Feather Guild. I like their motto and principles, and they helped us the most in the yearly exam. To be honest, I had my eyes on them even before coming to the union. They\'re the closest to the royalties, and I believe I can reach my dream with them by my side… but I also have taken a liking to you, Hunter. You\'re not a normal man, and your potential seems limitless. You don\'t want to be honest with me… which is why we can\'t be teammates after the yearly exam. It\'s over between us. I\'ll go to the White Feather Guild."
Hunter was now before his first real test.
A test to keep a woman by his side.
A test to be him…
