Chapter 28: An Uproar at the Hunters Branch

Isaac who is currently walking into the door of the hunters branch building, receives the stare of many of the hunters or adventurers around him, they all are sizing him up. Assuming this was just a normal thing that happens when someone walks in, Isaac walks up to a desk where a lady in a white top, black skirt, black heels with peach stockings on her legs, is currently writing on papers. The lady is by no means a knock out beauty, but her traits make her something to be looked at twice, green eyes, blonde curly hair, and freckles dashed across her face, she gave off the feeling of youth and maturity in one sitting. Isaac gets to the desk but the lady doesn't notice him, most likely due to his height not being tall enough to see over the actual desk, so he coughs to hide his embarrassment, which allows for the lady to finally notice that someone was at her desk. She stares forward seeing nobody, and then instinctively looks down to see Isaac, before a smile appears on her face.

"Well hello there little guy, what are you doing here in this place full of nasty men who don't bathe as much as they should". A loud ring of laughter erupts from most of the hunters currently in the building. A random man who is having a drink shouts, "Cherry, don't badmouth us to the kid, obviously he is here to admire our strength". He continues laughing after saying that". More laughter begins to admit around the place after that man makes that comment.

"No, I'm here to take the test, and here is my letter of recommendation". Isaac says as he stands on his toes and leaves the letter that Mr. Tross gave him. That one sentence from Isaac caused all the flamboyant laughter happening around him to immediately quiet down to the point you could hear a pin hit the floor. The men drinking their beers also paused mid sip and someone's beer glass even fell from his hand and broke on the floor due to his shock. Another ring of laughter immediately follows the silence that had just occurred, even more ferocious, but all these laughters were targeting Isaac. Multiple insults came out of different directions, "Some kid is going to be a hunter"? " Is he going to hunt for the milk of his mother"? "If he can become a hunter, then I guess just about anybody can". All these insults were followed by intensifying laughter, but Isaac paid all the laughter no mind. But that didn't mean that others would leave Isaac alone just because he paid them no mind, as is the rule of this world, without strength, you will be controlled, and if you wish to be free, be strong. Speaking of fools that wouldn't leave Isaac alone, a man with yellow teeth and a ugly smirk walked up to Isaac and patted his shoulder roughly, trying to knock him over on his feet, but Isaac wouldn't budge or fall for him. After attempting for a straight minute, anger begins to flash in his eyes.

"Hey Kid, you should do your grandfather here a favor and clean my shoes. They are dirty from all the hunting work that I do. You admire hunters right? Then clean my shoe". He says as if what he is saying makes the utmost logical sense. Some of the more crueler hunters were still laughing, while the more upright hunters were about to go and handle the situation, but just before they could even get close, the man next to Isaac was on the floor kneeling, looking at Isaac with fear present on his face, yellow teeth chattering as if he was being subjected to 0 degrees temperature. Magical Pressure was radiating off of Isaac only in the position close to him. Most eyes look in confusion, but the ones that truly understood what happened to the man are looking in shock at Isaac like he is a monster. Isaac releases the pressure and walks up to Cherry who is looking at him with wide-eyes.

"I don't think that might be the best measurement of my abilities, but can I sign up now"? Cherry almost instinctively replies, "yes" in fear of being on the receiving end of what had happened to the hunter on the floor currently". "Just follow me young sir", Cherry says and leads Isaac down a hall. Currently in the mainroom of the hunter building where all the other hunters are, they are discussing about Isaac's stunt.

"That kid ain't even older than my youngest son who is 8 years old, yet his use of magic is tyrannical at his age, he could rival even those rich spoiled brats of the middle class aristocrat families". One man says while talking to his friend. In a corner of the hunter branch building on at a table. Two youths and a adult male who watched the entire ordeal also talk about Isaac. "Captain, that kid would be an amazing addition to our team, with his power, we could possibly beat all those other teams this year in the competition coming within three months. A kid who looks to be between the age of 5-6, brown spiky hair, with a bow and quiver on his back currently in leather armor says to the adult at their table. The other youth speaks up and retorts, "We don't need anybody else, we will do just fine if we train hard enough, we have the captain with us so we are bound to do great". The other youth looked to be around the same age and black combed over hair, and two dual daggers on his waist. He had a slim build, and he gave off the feeling of a typical assassin while also wearing leather armor that was color black. The captain of these two wore plated armor with a huge Axe on his back and had black short hair and a beard. He watches Isaac leave with Cherry before downing his drink. "It's not worth it to worry about him, let's all go on a mission to kill some black fang vipers", he says he stands up and walks to a counter as the two youths finish up what they were eating and proceed to follow their captain to do the mission.

The scene returns normal after a while, until a group of people in shining armor show up. "It's the Blazing Trail Squad"! The people in the hunter group walk over to a counter where it looks like they are submitting a quest they had previously. A member of the squad who has blonde hair and defined body, and wearing a red robe flashes the lady at the counter a smile before asking if anything interesting had come about since they had left. the lady at the counter explains the situation with Isaac and this causes the other party's face to turn into a scowl before he begins to walk towards the hallway where Isaac had went, but before he could get any farther, a giant of a man stops him from advancing.

"Val, where do you think you are going? We were about to start training after we submitted the quest we took". He asks in a stern voice that sounded as if a false answer could possibly anger him. The scowl on Val's face changes to a neutral smile before he says, "I have some business real quick captain, its for my family, so I must do this". The giant man looks at Val before releasing his hand from his shoulder. "Just make sure you don't take too long with your "business", he says the last word with obvious sarcasm before returning to the rest of the Blazing Trail Squad.

Val's scowl returns as he enters down the hallway. "Just you wait peasant, you will see what happens when you mess with the Dorian family". He thinks as he makes hi way down the hallway.
