Chapter 111 - Register as a Hunter

"Is this all your woman, Ryuu?"

Erza asked, looking at each and one of them noticing how Kanae and Shinobu were skilled swordsmen based on her own intuition as a fighter. Though she saw their story, seeing them in person has a different kind of vibe altogether.

Ryuu nodded as Erza looked at each and every one of them before nodding as well. He looked confused why she did that but decided to put it aside. 

"Now, Lucifer, are you planning to become a hunter?'

He glances at Lucifer who was talking with Kanae and Kie looking as if she's started to feel at home and included since the two weren't bothered at how haughty she is. 

"No, I dislike fighting. At best, I'll handle the business and planning for your Guild. Not to mention the only reason I'm here is for some pancakes."

"Glutton…"

"Shut up, you bitch!"

Shinobu and Lucifer were glaring at each other still having some disagreement but at this point they won't harm each other. They'll just bicker and fight something similar to a rivalry. Erza saw this seem to remind her how she used to with Mirajane and bitterly smiled how it went. 

"That's actually good. Your power might attract too many people."

"Just give me a pancake and….have Sex with me then I'll be happy."

Everyone was taken aback from the last part since she said it was as easy as breathing. To be fair, the concept of sex is normal to them while Love is much lewder for them. Rias blushed at her words while a vein appeared on Shinobu's forehead about to speak but stopped by her sister. 

"Later, I still have my plans with Alex over there. That aside, she and Shinobu are going with me to register. How about you, Erza?"

He turned his attention to Erza. She was a S class Mage therefore it would be uproar if multiple S Rank Hunter appeared. 

"I'm going to register as well since it's the only way we can get raud Gates, correct?"

"That's right, though, there are a few exceptions but overall you need a Hunter License."

"Wait, wouldn't it cause an uproar if multiple S rank Hunters appeared out of thin air?"

Everyone turns to Rias who voice her opinion in their plans since their background if investigated would start to be noticed. S Rank are extremely rare especially in Korea when there's only been 9 recorded and the latest was 2 years ago. 

Ryuu confirmed it having sent his clones to investigate and found recent events about the incident involving Jin Woo. He hasn't found him but base from the date he at least killed his first human at this point and haven't gotten his [ Shadow Monarch ] job. 

"I wouldn't worry too much, with our Precise Mana Control then we can easily change our ranks. As for you then I doubt they'll be able to detect demonic energy."

Indeed, Mana and Demonic energy might be similar but different. It's like comparing  beer to Wine, both are liquid and liquid yet different. No one would be able to know since their device only detects Mana and Rias Mana is small, having converted the energy into her Demonic energy. 

Rias thought for a moment and understood his words since unlike the Hunters in this world who have a Fix Rank, they are able to hide and trick the device. 

"I see, then you're planning to be the center of attention?"

"Yup, if somehow any of you became B or A then chances are people would focus more on me than any of you allow you to walk freely."

Ryuu could just use his [ Yamato ] to open Gates and with [ Hypnosis ] can hide their identity but knowing that some S Rank or even A Rank can resist it. It is just going to prolong the inevitable. 

"Then what about, Erza?"

They turn to look at Erza, troubled that if she was evaluated as an S rank then it would be troublesome. 

"It's fine, I'll just trick them into thinking she's an A class or even B class."

"Then why are you adamant about becoming an S Rank?"

He explained receiving a nod from Rias as they continue to eat until they headed their way to Hunter where the group split with Mitsuri and Justine went around the city to explore while Kie, Kanae and Nezuko went with the Children while Tanjiro taken Kanao and Aoi on a date having given information about the world to help them blend with people. 

"There's a lot of people huh?"

Alex said looking around the people who are hoping to be a Hunter. She pity them since they're possibly risking their lives just to earn a little more money. It is basically a lottery where they can become a high rank or a low rank without possibly changing their fate.  

Meanwhile, the people saw them and were mesmerized by the group seeing the beautiful woman around Ryuu. He just glances at them using [ Byakugan ] then his [ Petrifying Gaze ] to make their body freeze up before sending a bit of his killing intent. They took a seat and waited for their chances to be evaluated. He spread his parasite to control the situation later. 

"Fuck yeah, I'm A Rank!"

Everyone grew envious when he just said his rank, giving a cocky grin. Ryuu shook his head in pity having gained power yet no skill always ended in a disaster.

'Does these people get the chance to train before registering?'

Erza asked since to be an S rank, it's not just about power but also their skills in combat.

'No, they rely too heavily on their power making them feel invincible because of it.'

They have the power but when faced in battle then it's all for nought. Most just seek fame and money for being a High Rank even though they won't likely join the front lines when they are needed. 

Experience, power and skill are always a vital part when one wishes to become strong. Obviously, power dominates skills and experience but if properly nurtured then it won't be one sided. 

'I was the same if it weren't for Ryuu.'

Rias joins in their conversation since her Family's power of destruction is extremely powerful which is why she hardly trains it but now she realizes how it was important to put effort in order to reach her dream. 

"Next please."

The person came and called out Ryuu who waved at his group heading inside the evaluation room. 

"Please state your name."

"Ryuu Cinco."

"A foreigner?"

"I just recently moved here."

They nodded and told him to place his hand on the large black crystal and he did. An Error was displayed in their panel screen causing them to be dumbfounded looking at Ryuu.

"A-A S Rank Hunter!"

All exclaimed as they saw another chance of acquiring a new S Rank Hunter in their country. They quickly tried to give their best impression as Ryuu escorted outside with the evaluator telling him to return a few days later to get a better evaluation. 

The people heard that his power was immeasurable and stepped back. Ryuu just ignored them and turned to Shinobu to get her evaluation.

After a while, Shinobu was an A rank, Alex was A Rank while Rias was B and Erza got A Rank even though she's actually an S rank. The people were all dumbfounded how multiple S rank and A Rank suddenly appeared but Ryuu is still the center of attention. The group left heading towards the town and met up with the others to celebrate.

They meet up with the others where Kie, Kanae, Mitsuri, Nezuko and Justine along with the children arrive, joining their celebration as Tanjiro with Kanao and Aoi still having their time alone. The group went to a BBQ restaurant since it gives them their own room to dine in. 

"I've managed to buy a new office building for our Guild."

Lucifer arrives still in her business suit showing folders after successfully buying an office as their new base. Ryuu read it and gave her a nod since he could easily use his clone for it but that beats the purpose of having Lucifer around. 

"Now where's my pancake?"

"Good lo-I mean can you eat other food other than just Pancake?"

Ryuu was about to say her father and stop midway changing his sentences. 

"Try eating other food for crying out loud."

"I don't want to, just give me what I want."

"Then I won't make any then."

Lucifer grumbles and reluctantly agrees to join their BBQ. Kanae and Nezuko giggled at how easily tame she becomes when it comes to Ryuu.
