The Hunter System
Chapter 76 - Airbender

Alvin finally woke up after fainting for a full day.

He actually did not faint long because of fatigue after going through a heavy fight and was tortured by the three lich. Mina deliberately put him to sleep for a long time so that he could burn all the fat in Alvin's body, so that Alvin has better muscle as a fighter.

Mina knew that because she felt a little uncomfortable with the stiffness she felt while using Alvin's body.

......................

Alvin did not immediately get out of bed or immediately feel uncomfortable being in his current place, even though he knew this was not his bedroom.

There was something that made him feel comfortable in this place. It was the fragrance of the room that was very gentle and refreshing his breathing.

Only after a few minutes of enjoying the refreshing aroma of the original flower in a vase beside his bed did he get up and sit on the bed.

He then looked at the room that had no wall hangings or any furniture other than a cupboard, a small table, and the bed he was in.

"It's not a hospital, is it? There's no hospital smell here."

["This is Ivory's apartment."]

"It's just worth it..."

["..."]

"Huh?! What did you say just now?"

["This is Ivory's apartment."]

Glup...

Alvin wanted to stand up but he canceled his intention when he felt the magic aura of someone walking closer to the room where he was.

He immediately pulled the blanket that had covered his body to cover the lower half of his body that was only wearing shorts.

He sat down on the edge of the bed quietly.

"Why haven't you said that since?"

["So you're still sleeping."]

"..."

.........

Shortly after, Ivory opens the door and enters while carrying a few pieces of the clothes she had just bought for Alvin after Vina informs him of the size of her clothes and pants.

Ivory immediately turned her back when she saw Alvin sitting on the edge of the bed bare-chested and only covering the lower half of her body with a blanket.

"Ah.., m-sorry... I'll go out first" said Ivory, who quickly exited and closed the door.

But, shortly thereafter, Ivory reenters only to put the clothes he was carrying on the floor, without looking at Alvin.

"This is your change of clothes, Mr. Rufino."

"Y-yes... Accept it..."

Clik...

Ivory came out before Alvin could finish his sentence.

Alvin stared at the door with a stiff face.

"Why did he leave?"

["Do you think he's your brother?"]

Alvin's face flushed when he realized it. He was used to wandering around after bathing using only a towel and felt not awkward and embarrassed because Vina was his brother. It was different with Ivory.

Plaque...

Alvin hit him in the face with one hand.

"I forgot."

["Tsk... You're really pathetic."]

"But... Who took off all my clothes?"

["What do you want me to answer? Ivory?"]

"Please tell me the truth."

["Jack. He cleansed your body during your fainting."]

"That's so... So Jack's coming?"

["Why do you look disappointed?"]

"Who's sorry?"

["Luckiness. I said disappointed. Are you sorry?!"]

"..."

["Rimi, he regretted not being able to be alone with Ivory."]

Alvin ignored Mina and Rimi who were laughing giggling inside his head. He stood up and went to get the clothes Ivory had given him, and put them on.

.........

"Did the subquest work even if you finished it?"

["Yes."]

Alvin opened his status window and saw he was now at level 90.

"My level exceeds the target."

["No problem. There is no Dungeon in a level 81 quest and you will not gain experience after defeating the examiner. Importantly, don't do any more raids before you take that quest."]

Alvin nodded slowly. He saw his experience point was approaching level 91.

He did not ask anything more after looking at the status window, nor did he open the quest completion reward like he used to do right away.

He then walked up to the window and stared at the view of the tall buildings out there, contemplating the experience of being tortured by the three lich in the boss area.

["Not to think too much. You're strong enough for a hunter who's only been training for two months."]

Alvin smiled awkwardly. He knew that, he was even too strong for a hunter who had only trained for two months. If not for the help of the System, he would not have been able to be as strong as he was now. He's sure of it.

Out there, one would even have to save their raid results for life just to pursue C rank alone. In fact, most high-ranking hunters such as A and B rank, especially S, are people who are already in middle age so long they save to collect experience points slowly.

To improve the experience, it takes a huge investment of money and time.

Unless someone is lucky enough to get an early, high-ranked revival like Jack who instantly earns an A-rank, or someone with huge financial backing like Ivory, Billy and many hunters who come from wealthy families, which can raise its rank with money.

Alvin knows that. So he was very grateful that the System had helped him. He only felt that he was still not strong enough when compared to the beings who would later become his opponents. He just wanted to become stronger in order to defeat them all.

That was the new determination that really appeared in his heart after knowing that he was still very weak when compared to the monsters he would face later.

.........

"How long will it take me to be as good as you?"

["..."]

"Is that long? Or very long?"

["Don't compare yourself to me, ok? I'm the System."]

"What System can have instant capability?"

["..."]

Alvin took a long breath.

He imagined again the strength of the three monsters, also imagined what if they escaped from a gate and invaded mankind.

["You're so excited."]

"I want to be stronger faster and be able to have speed like when you use my body."

Mina and Rimi smiled.

["Get out of here first. Then you take the quest."]

"Tsk... I really want to go" said Alvin.

["I guess you want to linger in a girl's house.."]

"Hey, I've never thought of it that way!"

["really?"]

"Tsk.., this is you... But, how did I get here? Did Jack and Ivory come in to pick me up?"

[“They don't have time for that. The gate closed 10 minutes after I finished all three lich.”]

“Then, how can I get out?”

[“Thank you to Rimi. He's the one who took you out.”]

“Hah? Rimi's? Did Rimi get out of my body?”

[“Tsk. Let's go first from here if you want to complete the quest level 81.”]

“Hmmm... You guys are mysterious pretenders, right?”

[“That's not an important thing to talk about!”]

"You're so mean."

["..."]

"You know? Your voice is so cute. You don't fit in to talk rude."

["I'll activate the poison!"]

"H-hey... I'm going out to meet Ivory. You might be able to kill others too."

......................

Jack immediately stood up and approached Alvin when he saw him coming out of the room.

He looked at Alvin from head to toe, even surrounding the skinny man's body to make sure he was.

“You okay bro?”

“Ya,” said Alvin slowly while glancing at Ivory who was watching him also from afar, but immediately turned his face when their gazes met each other.

“Thank God. We were so worried when we saw you come out in a terrible state and you just fainted.”

“I came out myself?”

“You forgot?"

Alvin speechless. Remembering what happened back then. He only remembered that he instantly lost consciousness the moment Mina returned his body.

But, Alvin finally nodded.

"You're right. I kind of forgot..."

Jack smiled at her and looked at her with a respectful look. "You've worked hard. You saved this town."

"Ah... Not really..," said Alvin quietly, scratching his head, feeling awkward. Only he knew that Mina had done it.

‘So you mean earlier, Rimi can also control my body?’

[“Yes. He can do it when you pass out. I can't because I only have 3 permits to take over your body. And your chance to use my power is now only one.”]

‘…’

[“Hnnn?”]

‘You're terrible!’

[“Gruesome? You should be grateful! You will die and be buried in the Dungeon if we don't help you!”]

'...'

["What else?!"]

‘... Thank you.’

“Bro?”

Alvin wakes up from his daydream when Jack surprises him.

“Ah... yes...”

Alvin then walks past Jack and goes towards the sofa where Ivory is sitting. He then looked at his phone on the table, also saw a piece of dark gray crystal beside his phone.

Ivory saw where Alvin looked, then spoke to him, “I've contacted Vina and said that you're fine here,” Ivory said slowly.

“Thank you...,” said Alvin who then sat on the fur sofa, near Ivory. He then pointed to a chunk of crystal on the table, “What am I carrying it?” ask Alvin. He guessed that Rimi took and brought the item for him.

“Yes. You brought him out from inside Dungeon.”

“So.”

"What is this thing? The magic aura was very strange, different from ordinary magic crystals," asked Jack, who had already joined them.

"Oh... It's..."

Alvin took the crystal and instantly saw the crystal information from the transparent window that appeared before him.

...°•°•°•°•°•°•°...

...Article Name: Airbender...

...Rarity Level: A+...

...Function : Controlling all animate and inanimate objects by manipulating the air...

...•°•°•°•°•°•°•...

'Air controller? Is this lich's telekinesis skill?'

["These items Rimi did make from the magic of the lich, but they were different. Telekinesis is magic that controls the power that comes from an object. While the skill of this item will make you able to control living things and inanimate objects by manipulating the air around it,"]

["But, you need more intense airflow control training to be able to use it as well as a lich using telekinesis magic. This skill does not increase according to level. You have to train it yourself."]

'I understand. So, is this skill included in the Mage job skill as well?'

["No. You can use it when using any job."]

'It was so good!'

.........

"Bro?"

"Ah... " said Alvin, surprised when Jack suddenly asked him to speak again.

He could see Jack and Ivory looking at each other. He knew they must be confused because he seemed to dream often. Ivory told him that.

"It's useless" said Alvin, breaking the crystal in his hand.

Although Alvin says the object is useless, Jack and Ivory suspect that it may be very useful when they see the object immediately turned into gray smoke, then it was absorbed into Alvin's pores after the man destroyed it.
