Raiding the Tower #2 Part 1

[ Outside Abyss Tower ]

The other Hunters also came, along with Arnold and Yukino earlier as they came into the T District with their air transports.

" Why the hell I'm here again??? "

" This is the 'T' District, right...? "

" 'Trash'...! " said an S-Rank Hunter who also have arrived from overseas.

" *sighs* I regret not relinquishing my Trinia Nationality before this year... "

" I should've done that many years ago, but... " he thinks to himself.

" Dammit, Trinia's Nationality paperwork is too difficult," he says while looking outside the transport's window.

" I hope this would be my last time in this sh*thole of a Nation, a Continent even," he states.

" You seem to have issues coming back here, Tristan... " said another S-Rank, coming here with him in this Transport.

" Damn you, why do you have to reply to my complaints...? "

Victoria Volta is the 5th Place S-Rank Hunter, she was one of the Strongest Hunters that the Hunter Association could offer as both of them are paid so much for their efforts and achievements.

Despite their achieved fame, the two decided to move to America for another offer that intrigues them since America (including some other countries) also wants to make their own Hunter Association as they almost squeeze their national funds just to make these two want to move there.

But still, even the two already made up their mind to stay and become Hunter there to start a new Hunter Association. They still had some problems with the Trinia Government, the Divine Inquisitors, and the Trinia's Hunter Association itself as they still do their ways to hold these two from ever fully shifting to America for they still need them.

" Damn, Victoria... "

" You know what...? "

" Let's waste no time here, shall we...? " Tristan says as he stands up, pick up his things, and opens the sliding door of the air transport where the wind of battle blows inside.

" Hunter Tristan, what are you doing!? " the pilot asks in a panic as he sees it.

" He's saving our time, your time too, pilot... " Victoria says as she also follows Tristan.

" But Hunter Victoria... you can't just!!! "

" Don't be scared pilot, we won't die from a fall!!! "

" We're the S-Ranks, falling into the battlefield is what we're supposed to do!? " Tristan reminds the pilot, telling him to turn back immediately for he can't risk too much time near the battlefield.

" Do you hug me tight enough, Vic...? " Tristan asks as Victoria hugs him tight.

" Of course, lead the way, Tris... " Victoria responds as both of them jump from the Air Transport as it leaves them per Tristan's orders.

" You should've let the pilot take a look at us for some time, Tris...! " Victoria says while falling with Tristan.

Tristan doesn't budge it as he then dives in full speed.

" Hold on to me tighter, Vic... " Tristan says as he then uses his Gift Ability Skill.

[ Torrent Splash Dive ]

[ Using this skill, the User uses the Torrent Ability to wrap the body into a Water Drop, this Dive skill is used to minimize the damage of the fall for waterdrops will never brake after the fall. ]

*Tristan and Victoria then lands, and their Torrent Waterdrop Splash Form, splashes.*

*Splash*

" Still make it!!! " Tristan says as he and Victoria land on the ground.

" Ah, you're here...! " a voice greets them.

" Well, well, well, if it isn't 'Snow White'... " Victoria says as she greets Yukino who came to see them as she realized it was them, coming into the battlefield.

" Hey, woman!!! " Yuko, Yukino's subordinate calls Victoria out loud.

" Me...? "

' Yes, you, rude woman!!! "

" How dare you call Yukino-Sama like that with such disrespect!!! " Yuko yells as she protested how Victoria calls Yukino by her usual nickname in Trinia.

" Yuko... " Yukino covers her head with her hands in shame, shame in her subordinate to be angry at the wrong time.

Yukino knows her good intentions, for protecting her status is always her subordinates' priority but...

At this moment, instead of protecting her status, Yuko...

" Bahahaha!!! Yukino, your subordinate didn't know!!! " Victoria laughs at Yuko, feeling funny about how clueless she is while she is still angering her.

" Okay, okay, Yuko... it's alright... calm yourself. "

" All of you, don't be..., oh my! " Yukino tries to calm Yuko and her other subordinates who became triggered after her as they all began to shift their focus after some time clearing the recent wave.

" So there's no monster wave after 3 hours? " Tristan asks Yukino.

" Yes, Tristan-senpai. " Yukino uses the honorifics since Tristan is technically her senior both in the Hunter Association and in the University back then.

" It seems the Tower is currently down, probably it's on hiatus in producing monsters... "

" So it's vulnerable? then what are we waiting for...!? " Tristan yells asking Yukino why the hell they're all still here.

" We can't go inside, Hunter Tristan! " a voice answers Tristan as he runs towards him.

" Who are you? "

" Inquisitor Inspector placed in the Hunters Association, Vincent Wong! "

" I'm currently the one in charge of this operation, replacing High Inquisitor Benedict Harris! "

" Replacing? " Tristan asks.

" I... "

" He is replacing the High Inquisitor who died before we came, in the first wave of our Raid against the Abyss Tower, Tristan-senpai. " Yukino answers him, explaining to Tristan that Inquisitor Vincent is basically the substitute leadership of this operation, making him the Acting High Inquisitor at the moment.

" I see, substitutes, huh... " Tristan says as he then sees the Tower.

" So what's the plan, Acting High Inquisitor...? "

" Do we Raid the Tower? " he asks as he sees the situation, so calm even he almost underestimated what will await him inside the Tower.

" Hunter Tristan, unfortunately... "

" We can't... " Acting High Inquisitor Vincent says as he tells Tristan that the gods didn't order all of them to Raid the Tower for they instructed them to keep themselves far from it for that Tower is the gods' business.

" Really, that's it!!! "

" Dammit, what the hell is this...!? "

" So you're saying, we're coming here..., from the skies far away, only to become some henchmen... doing minor things only!!! "

" Oh, the hell no! " Tristan was so angry as he hears the thing.

" Tristan-senpai, calm yourself... "

" This is not the Inquisitor's fault or foolishness, this is the gods' instructions... " Yukino calms him down.

" Besides... "

" You wouldn't say some things about them, wouldn't you? " she asks while half-releasing her blade from the sheath.

" 'Snow White'... " Victoria says as she sees the scene while she didn't realize it.

" You three seem so serious, are the Waves here cleared!? " a voice says as they see the source which shocks them.

" Lord Artemis! " they were surprised to see her here.
