Chapter 41 (End of Volume 1): Epilogue - Leaving for a New Frontier.

"Isn't it a bit too early for me to have this I hear I need to achieve certain requirements to use this."

"Not really. You already achieved all the needed requirements so this is okay to use. Just register it in the Hunter Association then you are good to go."

"Thank you."

"You earn it there is no need to thank me. But you have to work harder, finish your graduation in high school, and then look for us. We will give you a free ride to a fortress city."

Hearing that Jayven was so surprised that he took another look at Chris as if asking if she was for real.

After all, moving to another city is hard due to the monsters roaming the world you need at least a hundred thousand ACC to move from one place to another.

Not to mention arriving at a fortress city, he knows this based on experience every time an evacuation occurs in the place he went to. The only good thing is that it was free. It is also the reason he separated from his friends.

'Clearly, I could commute there but knowing that a professional hunter who is seemingly at a high rank protecting you is already the best what more could I ask for? What else than a confirmation of course?'

"Yes, once you are ready Klein and I will send you there. Because you are going to join the best of the best right?"

"Yes."

"Good then prepare your pick because once you are there the real challenge of being a hunter shall begin."

"Okay!"

Hearing his gusto reply Chris left the place satisfied.

~~~~~~~~

"Ms. Chris, who was that kid just now? A relative?"

"It's along those lines, I guess."

"Oh, I see." Knowing what not to question Colonel Lewis Stayed quiet and changed the topic as she needed to tell her something.

"Miss, we have a problem."

"The cursed artifact is gone, right?"

"Y-yes, we don't know why but when we left it at the safe house of the mayor someone intruded the place and now it is gone."

"Tch those demon activists really are not to be looked down upon, they really seep deep into our society. They even infiltrated the higher-ups within our ranks."

"Yes, I noticed it as well they did a number on me after all."

"For now, we need to investigate the mayor I think he is connected to this."

"I felt so as well, but there were no clear signs."

"What do you expect snakes they will hide in places we can't reach and attack when we least expect it."

"That's true, I will do as you say and look at him."

"No, you won't need to we will send our men here. As for you, you need to get healed."

"Thank you, but-."

"Stop, even if it is as impossible as everyone sees it doesn't mean that it is the end of it. Just try there might be ways for you to continue what you want to do."

Looking straight directly at Chris, she steeled herself and responded to her.

"Yes, I will try."

With that, the two discussed a few things till they separated.

-------At the Mayor's Office--------

[You've done great Mr. Mayor.]

"It is all thanks to your guidance leader we were able to fool those idiots."

[Ahahahaha yes, we did indeed.]

But he then changed his tone to a cold one.

[But not all were a success, right? I believe I told you how important this year's recruitment is.]

"Yes leader, it is my fault for not being thorough with this."

[Tch anyway, we already have what we need. To think that a huge number of sacrifices is needed for this. I guess I could thank you as well for retrieving it back.]

"This is also unexpected on our part we didn't know that once all the requirements were made it all went in that direction."

[This concludes the meeting then.]

"Yes, leader. with that, the talk ended between the two."

"Mayor is this really necessary We were almost by this even if we are not, we are now under their radar."

"No worries we are already done with what we needed to do. So, for now we will need to lay low."

"But what if they found out in the end?"

"Then so be it. Like I said we have already done our part. Even if we get to us nothing will change the die has already been cast."

"I see as expect of you, Mr. Mayor. Oh, that's right there is a call from the young master."

"Grant? Well then let me talk to him."

-------The Hidden Base of the Demon Activists--------

"Hmm, this is good with all of the pieces put together we shall give the whole world a surprise. If not more."

"And his grace shall then triumph in this new world."

"Yes, he will and with us, nothing shall be impossible."

"But the artifact has not been retrieved from his hands yet what should we do?"

"The next user has already been predetermined we only need to look for the next artifact that will be released within this year."

"Oh, from the looks of it, everything is ready?"

'No, we still don't know where and when is the exact location the only thing we know is that it is in Decagon City and the time is within a few months from now within this year."

"So, we need to get our eyes peeled in that place if not the hunter association will take our artifacts again."

"That's right, we need to let our people at Decagon City know this so that we can prepare."

After declaring that the group of the demon activist contacted all the people they are connected with and are under their command.

------- Outside of Blossom City-------

Clayton stood outside of the city, A while later a hovercraft arrived different from the hovercraft that arrived at Blossom City yesterday.

The reason for this is that Clayton was called right after his match. Its content is about how they congratulated him on passing the exam and becoming the champion and that he needed to go home.

"Young master we have waited for you. Please get in."

"Yeah-yeah, I guess they cared right now since I broke the rules."

"Rules? What rules?"

"You know the agreement of not using our skills."

"Oh, don't worry about that. It was mentioned during the last meeting and many were amicable and told us that it was okay."

"Are you sure we are talking about the same people?"

"Yes, we were shocked to hear it, as well, but it turns out that it was open for usage due to the recent activities of those guys."

"So, they pissed off the family huh."

"Not just that it seems like there was a message from above that all the other families were getting ready to confront them."

"How come I wasn't informed about this?"

"….About that, it only happened yesterday young master."

He awkwardly answered Clayton.

"What the heck? It was yesterday, no wonder"

"Yes, that's right."

"Heh, anyway is the reason for the sudden summon related to this?"

"Yes, it is."

"Well then let's see what the family has to say about this, Let's go to the main house of the Scarlet Family."

"Yes, young master Clayton Scarlet."

------ Weeks have passed since the exam-------

For the past few weeks Jayven finished some paperwork works and later he finally and formally graduated from high school Now he needed to enroll in a college institute.

And to do that he has to go to the capital city of the place he is currently in. This travel is going to be long since Blossom City doesn't actually lead to the capital, one needs to traverse many places to arrive at it.

'But now thanks to Master and Ms. Chris' Ride Maybe I can reach there fast and early.'

So, before he left, he started to do many things as he prepared to leave. He started by going to places that meant a lot to him.

After greeting everyone and finishing the required paperwork he arrived outside of the city waiting for his ride.

Then moments later a strong gust of wind arrived right before him and all Jayven did was stand still as he looked straight at what arrived.

"Long time no see kid I apologize for not arriving earlier but I need to do important stuff so sorry. "

Jayven was speechless as he looked at his master Klein.

"What is it?"

This guy was the look both he and Chris gave to him. And knowing this would be a waste of time Chris called out for Jayven.

"Get in Kid. This guy is harmless we took care of it since it was a hatchling."

"Oh, so that's why. Don't worry Kreg won't harm you. He's a good boy."

"Just get on the Wyvern it's safe."

That's right what is in front of Jayven right now is a big ass wyvern. A monster that is at A rank and is to hold the bloodline of a dragon.

"… Okay." Without a choice Jayven Rode on the monster to for the travel.

"Okay, have you thought of where to go?"

"Oh yes." With the question getting him in his daze state, he answered.

"Decagon City."
