"I know you must be exhausted by the unexpected series of events. But I would like to hear your thoughts for 'our' new recruit". Shigeo was sitting in his office without anyone else, except for the guest he was facing.

The raid was successful with no single casualty, with everyone returning safe and sound. The team captain vanished before anyone could have asked for anything. Naturally, she was taken by someone whom they didnt dare to question or interrupt.

Shigeo hoped that they would survive, knowing the glimpse of Subaru's strength and capabilities. But the thought of having not a single fatality was too hard to swallow.

He needed to know what hell of a miracle happened inside the gate and gain every single drop of information he could about Subaru.

" You know my reputation and experience being in hunter's field. You have checked how many dungeons I have led until now and have faced varieties of hunters. But the thing I have faced today made all the past experiences pale. You could say today I saw the true definition of 'an inhuman entity in human flesh'." Shigeo held his breath on his explanation before asking further.

"What about his contribution in the raid. Did he get more kill than your team?" Karame chuckled at Shigeo's words before responding.

"Comparing our kills to him would be an overstatement. It's true that we handled the first wave of a monster but only because he didnt want to participate. I can dare to say, that he alone cleared the whole dungeon single-handedly. And the most noticing thing, was he didnt struggle even for a second in front of a monster which could rival our whole Japan."Shigeo was baffled on the first part, utter shocked, but on the later part, he raised his brows and asked in a haughty tone.

"Are you underestimating your own country, Mr. Shoko?" Shigeo asked with a smirk.

"No sir. I very well know about our nation's capabilities and the hunter residing in it. But the fact that a single mage handled an S rank and dozens of A rank monsters won't change. We need a proper team to handle a gate but he is, a team in himself. A lone wolf who won't be suppressed and will only hurt you back if you try to restrict him." Karame, indirectly warned the chairman if he had any kind of motive to boss around Subaru. Karame only saw Subaru for some hours, but in that much time, he came to realize, what was a Subaru's true nature.

"So now we have two hunters belonging to the same family who cleared a red gate all by themselves." Shigeo sighed and leaned back on his chair.

Karame didnt comment on this and simply stood up to leave. Just when he was about to turn the knob of the door he turned back toward Shigeo, attracting the man's attention toward him too.

"I am in no position to say this Mr. Chairman but if possible then don't do anything which will cost Japan to lose a potential asset from their grasp. Farewell".

Back in the city, Subaru took Fubuki back to her mansion and used his [Regression] on her. Since he couldn't restore her mana by any means, he left Fubuki not so after placing her on the bed.

He was still unable to attach his soldiers with anyone else which made him a little frustrated. But remembering how little time he had spent on his necromancy, this shortcoming started to seem natural. He decided to get used to his basic skill of necromancy that was giving life to the dead, first.

After returning to school, he continued his daily life. He regularly sparred with Kyojuro day after day and slowly started to land one or two blows on him. His magical capabilities were far from any teacher including Sasha so he didnt pay attention much to that. Going on an after-school date with Ririka became more regular which was bliss for Ririka too, who after a whole day of hardship gets some reward for herself.

Currently, it's been two weeks since he entered the school and until now he has gone 7 kinds of different classes. Yet nothing interests him.

Ririka, Yuno, and Theo were living school life to their fullest while having the normal struggles to keep up and the stress of the studies and stuff. This made Subaru a little out of place. Therefore, he decided to study what he lacked at the recent time.

'Curse mark'.

During the class of extreme condition training, Subaru made excuse and went out of the class. The students get thoroughly checked by the teacher before they could leave the class, so Subaru just broke his wrist and made a medical excuse.

" Ah. It must be painful. Please take a rest after you meet the medic". He felt a little sad for making Ririka worried, but knowing her personality, he couldn't tell her the truth. He left the class before healing himself and teleported toward the medic room in another building.

"I was expecting you". As soon the room of infirmary came into my view, a feminine voice came from behind. My senses works before my eye, so I was sure who's voice this was.

" It's rather unusual to see the infirmary empty, around this hour". The infirmary was one of the busiest sections of the school, as injuries happen on the count of breath, here.

"I kept the room vacant for you". I turned around unhurriedly and found the doc sitting on her chair. She was wearing her usual dress with a lab coat over her shoulder.

" So you must know the reason for my visit?" She lifted her left leg and slowly crossed it over another one, giving me a whole extra second to see her black panties. We were positioned about a meter apart so it was obvious my gaze will fall for it.

Smirking like she had won a battle she began to speak.

"You came here to see me right?" Her giggle was betraying her age and crumbling her supposed personality. Seeing me giving no reaction she coughed twice and straightened her back.

"At least you could have lied or got embarrassed for once". She sulked and looked away.

" It's not easy to get something from me and I barely remember when I last got flustered so let's ignore that part and grab the main topic". She inhaled and sighed audibly before standing up.

She stood beside the window with her back facing me. I waited for her to speak while checking on the camera. Surprisingly she had already taken care of it.

"You want to learn about curse marks right?"

"Yes. If you want to teach me. No pressure". Well, I didnt have much option other than to take her help so even she rejects me, I would think of another method to persuade her.

" It will take time. And the current surrounding is not idle for that topic to dig out. I hope you understand". She was somewhat right. Curse marks were a secretive and secluded technique, which very less people knew about. So talking about that topic in the medic room, even it was surrounded by barriers wasn't a great plan.

"Any suggestion, where we can study?" I asked as I was considering my cottage but knowing mom's personality, she could anytime appear in my room and I won't be able to stop her. And this topic, I didnt want to share with her for now.

"You can come to my room but come after 8 in the evening. "

"Do you not fear. I mean, I ain't a Saint you know." I chuckled as I asked.

"If it's you then it's okay". I was taken aback when she turned toward me and said with a warm smile. Unlike Fubuki, who always teases me with such remarks, Doc wasnt joking at all. She was damn serious!

" See you later doc." I teleported before the matter could proceed.

Just after Subaru disappeared, the composed Chisato collapsed on the ground with her face melt in an instant.

She was holding hard as she said such a thing to Subaru, but she doesn't regret it. All she said was true and came from her heart.

"Who says you don't get flustered" She smiled as she murmured under her breath recalling Subaru's face before he teleported.

Her heart was so fast since the time Subaru came here that she feared that she might collapse if he was to stay another minute here. Then again, she also prayed that he stay more and at least talk to her more casually.

She practiced about a half-day for this meeting but still, she was barely holding her blush, and lastly, she used the 'look out of the window aimlessly' technique before she gives out her facade.

"Ah.. I forgot. He is commmmiiinnngggg tonight". She screamed. Genuinely screamed like a kid happy for a fanfare trip.

'I won't let this chance slip'.
