The Only Aura User In Magic World-Chapter 3

Hunter Registration

The first day of school has ended, and I didn’t make any friends. I saw a lot of familiar faces. Some who will succeeded in life, and some who will die soon.

In ten month, the Evil God Cult will come out in the public for the first time by destroying several cities. This city of Melk is one of them. They will also destroy any villages nearby including my village. I want to get stronger so I can defeat them instead of being defeated like in my past life.

I really want to destroy their plans to attack the city, but I’m just one man. Even if I asked the king, he would never listen to an orphan from random village. And during that period, I never tried to remember the faces of those attackers. Because of my status, those who knew the faces and names of Evil God Cult’s members would never tell me. The members are all wearing hoods when they attacked. Maybe some of them are people I know. Most of their members are most likely hiding as part of our society so I can’t act suspiciously if I want to destroy them.

…which means I should have make friends like normal people my age! What have I done?!

Now I can only play the part of a loner or a gloomy kid. Or maybe someone with trust issues. Then it would be normal if I am close to someone who tried to get close to me first. Okay then, I’ll try that.

For now since the school is over, I’ll register as Hunter in the Hunter Guild. It’s the biggest building in the middle of the city.

Being a Hunter means I can bring in monsters I defeated or herbs and sell them to the guild. I can also take request sent from client and get paid with the reward. They also act like a bank. So my reward can be saved there and I can took it from any Hunter Guild in the world.

I have entered the Hunter Guild building and walked to the receptionist. There’s only one person in front of me. In fact I know her. She’s Angela. She’s a beauty who’s also entering the school at the same time as me. Which means she’s just fifteen years old and registering as hunter today. In the future, she will be known as Elemental Master. She’s one of the lucky ones who got 4 magic elements when she awakened. Fire, Ice, Earth, and Wind.

.....

During her time in this city, before Evil God Cult destroyed it, she doesn’t show her real talent yet. It was because she lost her family that she dedicated her life to get stronger and avenge her family. She wants to kill every single member of the cult. She entered Advanced School and became much stronger and gained a title ‘Elemental Master’, one who mastered four kind of magic elements.

Now what? If I helped her family, she might not become Elemental Master like in my previous life. Should I help her so she can improve on her own and make her my ally since her hatred to the cult is well-known? I don’t know what’s the best choice is for the future, so I’ll just interact with her normally… if I have the chance.

“Welcome to the Hunter Guild, can I help you?”

The pretty receptionist greeted her and asked Angela’s business here.

“I want to register as a hunter.”

Here’s my chance! Although she may think of me as annoying, at least I’ll make an impression in her mind.

“Ah, me too! Can you please register both of us at once so it will be finished faster?”

I shamelessly joined their conversation. With this I’m sure she will know me next time we meet.

“Is that okay with you?”

“Sure I don’t mind.”

After getting her permission, the receptionist gave us a paper to fill. There’s many blank spaces but I only fill my name and age since those are the required data.

“Here you go.” I said as I returned the paper to the receptionist.

“Thank you… Roy. Age 15. Is that right?”

“Yes”

“You only filled your name and age only?” 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Oho! Seems like I succeeded in giving her an impression. Angela asked me why I didn’t fill the rest such as my hometown, awakened magic, and other things.

“Yes. Those two are the only things needed to register as a hunter.”

“Seems like you know few things about being a hunter.”

Of course I know! I spend over 30 years being a hunter! Though I spend most of that time gathering herbs since I had no combat abilities. I won’t tell them that though.

“I know a bit from a senior hunter. He said only these two are important. Hunter’s works sometime make them moves from place to place so hometown wasn’t really important. As for magic, since the guild checked only the result not the process, it’s not really important for them when you register. Unless you want some party to invite you. For now I’m thinking of going solo so this part is unnecessary. And the magic I used will be known sooner or later. Either way, writing down my magic is not important in registering.” I explained to Angela patiently.

“I see. Then I’ll do that as well.”

She also wrote down her name and age. Seems like she doesn’t want to join any party yet.

And then she gave her paper to the receptionist. After checking both our papers’ content, she gave us a silver card.

“Here’s your Hunter’s card. You both will start as E-rank hunters. It is shown on your card and will change if you raise your rank. There are 6 hunter ranks from E, D, C, B, A, to S, with S being the highest rank. You need to complete missions to raise your rank. There are other ways to raise your ranks, but completing mission is the safest way. You can check the board over there to see requests and when you see a request you want to do, you can grabbed it and give it to the receptionist. After that you can do your mission. We also worked as a bank so you can keep your money in the guild. You can take them from any guild in the world. You can also use your hunter card to pay for something. If you do, the amount of money you have will be reduced by the amount you paid. You can do it by holding your card and touched it other’s card, and concentrate the amount you’re paying. Any questions?”

“None from me. I’ll go check the board first.”

“None from me either.”

Both of us left to the request board to check on missions. While we were looking for an appropriate mission, Angela asked me something.

“Hey, do you want to be in a party with me?”

“Huh?”

Did she just asked me to be in a party with her? Seriously? I just thought of making an impression so next time we meet, she knows who I am. But to be ended up in a party with her? I guess I’ll confirm with her first.

“Are you asking me?”

“Who else is here?”

“Maybe you’re asking a ghost near me.”

“Why would I invite a ghost to my party? I’m asking you! Seems like you know a bit about being a hunter so I want you to give me some pointers. Do you want to be in party with me?”

“Sure.”

Since I have her confirmation, there’s no way I would refuse. Now I can teach her about her magic and maybe making her my ally. I really need someone I can trust to defeat those bastards. Although she may go a different path than me, as long as she’s still have hatred to Evil God Cult, it will be fine since she will be one of the strongest mage in the world. So I will use this chance to improve her magic.

“Okay then. What’s a good mission for a rookie hunter?”

“How about goblins subjugation. These kind of jobs are useful for training. And we’re also helping nearby village by defeating those goblins.”

“Sure. Then we’ll take that mission.”

She grabbed the request to subjugate goblins and we went to the receptionist.

“Excuse me. We’ll taking this request.”

“And we’re also taking this job as a party.”

“Okay. Goblin subjugation, is it? It’s a good first mission for you two. Be careful because although goblins are weak, some veteran hunter has been killed by them.”

“Thank you. See you later!”

I said goodbye to the receptionist and we both leave the guild.

On the way to the city gate, we tried to get to know each other.

“So what’s your magic elements?” I asked her first.

“I guess since we’re a team we should know each other’s magic. I have four magic elements. Fire, Ice, Earth, and Wind. You?”

“Four! That’s a lot!” I pretended to be surprised. “I have two. Summoning and Air magic.”

“Those two are rare, aren’t they? I don’t know about Air magic, but Summoning seems pretty neat.”

As we talked, we already left the city. Soon we will arrive at our destination. I hope things will go well in this mission.
