Supreme Guardian of Earth
112. Report from Hunter Raid
The report immediately reached the Guild. The leader of the Gold Dragon Guild couldn't keep quiet anymore, he was shocked to hear the information that hunter Nami and her team entered a dimensional portal with an S dimensional rank. It was impossible for them to solve.
So, chances are they are stuck there. Thus, Maxime as the leader of the Gold Dragon Guild had to act.
"We have to hurry, Sophie," the Guild leader said to Sophie Noemie. Maxime was a man in his forties and had short, straight hair. His style is unique, he is the most respected man in the whole country. He was one of the eight strongest Hunters in France.
"Very well, Guild Leader," Sophie agreed to what the Guild Leader had asked. She knew very well that the Guild leader was a highly respected figure throughout the Guild as well as in France. The Gold Dragon Guild was currently even among the most powerful Guilds in the country. This is because the Gold Dragon Guild has the most Hunters joining the Guild.
The Hunter Portal was immediately summoned and entered the information center room. Maxime and Sophie were already waiting there. The Hunter Portal immediately made a portal with its power and headed for the coordinates where the report about the Dimension Portal turned into a Rank S dimensional portal energy. They had to immediately rescue Nami's hunter.
Maxime and Sophie immediately entered the portal that Hunter Portal had created. They went straight to the coordinates point. They must not allow the Guild to suffer losses if Hunter Nami and her raid team are killed in the dimensional portal.
The Guild Leader as well as hunter Sophie immediately exited the portal and was already near the portal that was reported to have turned into an S-rank portal. There were quite a several Hunters gathered around the portal. It was because whoever the Hunter from the Gold Dragon Guild was near the incident, he immediately came to the portal.
The Hunters who had gathered immediately greeted the Guild leader, Hunter Maxime. They salute. Small talk to lighten the mood went fast. The Guild Leader immediately ordered to re-measure the portals.
After carrying out these measurements, the results shown are indeed no different from the reports. The portal had experienced a dimensional rank increase to Rank S. Whereas previously, the portal was only reported with a dimensional rank of Rank A.
“Sophie, prepare the equipment. We will immediately go in and rescue the Hunters who are trapped inside.”
Sophie nodded her head, "Yes Guild leader," Sophie had great respect for the Guild leader. He is no longer young and he has two children. However, he always looked after the Hunters under the Guild and always gave the best for all of them.
This is an important and dangerous mission. Hunter Maxime called his family at home and said he would be late. He was about to enter a rank S dimensional portal, so he asked his two children for permission not to wait for him.
When the phone was closed, hunter Sophie had prepared all the equipment needed. The equipment for the Guild leader has also been prepared. Sophie pressed her bracelet, and the power armor from the power of the nanomachine instantly formed an armor that covered Sophie's body.
The Gold Dragon Guild Leader also did the same. He pressed the button on his wrist and strong armor was already covering his body. Prepared equipment, swords, and also some special items. Special items are secretly crafted by the Blacksmith Guild. The two of them were ready to enter the portal, three A-rank Hunters accompanying Maxime and Sophie.
The portal door that the Hunter team entered in the raid cannot be opened again. However, it was different if there was an S-rank Hunter who used the power of a special item and with the energy of an S-rank Hunter. The door could be opened by force from the outside.
Five people prepared in front of the portal, once again, Maxime saw the readiness of the rescue team. The rescue mission begins. However, when trying to force the portal to open. They all felt something big. There's another dimensional rank change happening.
This time, Sophie took the initiative to take measurements again with the device on her wrist. He pressed the portal's dimensional energy measurement button. And the results came out. The dimensional energy dropped drastically and also the point value in the Rank measurement did not build up.
The boss monster has been defeated!
Sophie reported to the Guild Leader. The portal has returned to its dimensional rank which is Rank A. There is something turbulent and happening within the dimensional portal. There was no way the dimensional measurement tool was damaged, something strange had happened inside the portal.
They put off going in and waited for a while. They want to see what happens next. And moments later, they felt the energy of change again. When they re-measured, they found that the dimensional rank had dropped drastically.
That is, the Monsters have been defeated and the Hunters won the raid inside the portal. Thus, the Guild Leader asked to wait until the Hunters came out and they would conduct a thorough investigation.
The Guild Leader and the Hunters who were waiting outside the portal, all couldn't figure out what was going on inside the portal. They wouldn't leave until they had direct information from the Hunters who came out safely later.
What the Hunters were waiting for arrived, and the Hunters began to come out of the portal in front of them. They all came out one by one regularly, Hunter Nami was at the front. They all looked fine when they came out of the portal.
The gauges weren't wrong, they were already out and that meant the portal had been completed once the dimensional energy had dropped. So, the Guild Leader didn't need to enter the portal.
What had happened inside the portal? Not too long ago it happened in the Tiger Guild about the rise of the high dimensional portal. Lately, a lot of strange things have happened in the dimensional portal.
All Hunters finally came out, they were additional Hunters only asked to report what they collected or got. Hunter Dinan and Raymond walked towards the Hunter who received the report. They showed the letter of assignment from the Hunter Association. As an apprentice Hunter.
They also take care of some things. Raymond also knew a few things, they also earned quite a bit of pay by becoming an Additional Hunter. At least, they also collect items, and Dinan's brother collects a lot of them.
"Is the enemy that brother Dinan is facing very strong in that portal?" Raymond's question made Dinan look at Raymond for a moment. Dinan knew about Raymond's question. Raymond also understood that it must be Dinan's brother who finished the boss monster.
“A strong enemy is coming soon, Raymond. You must practice diligently, the enemies we will face in the future have terrifying strength.”
And, Raymond knows. Brother Dinan never lied about the invasion of monsters that would try to rule the earth. So, there is no other way but to grow stronger to face them.
***
The Hunters who came out of the dimensional portal didn't expect that the Guild Leader was already outside the portal. They would be saved by the Guild Leader if they didn't come out soon.
Hunter Nami and the main raid team were asked to make a special report to the Guild Leader as well as hunter Sophie. Hunter Nami had time to see hunter Dinan and hunter Raymond who walked to the other side and reported what their duties were.
The two of them wouldn't get interrogated because they were only Apprentice Hunters. The main raid hunter is the Hunter who will be asked about what is going on in each dimensional portal that has a problem.
Hunter Nami had also promised to cover everything up. She will only say that he completed the portal.
Neither Dinan nor Raymond, they did not get any spotlight. They are free. The figure who defeated the terrifying power of Libris inside the dimensional portal. Hunter Nami even remembers well all of Dinan's attacks and strength in defeating enemies from the planet Cyprus.
Now, it's the job of hunter Nami who has to become a victim to lie when asked by the Guild leader. She felt that Hunter Dinan had framed him to protect himself from the Hunters' suspicions about his strength.
In hunter Nami's heart, she felt that she was framed very well by Hunter Dinan. She was forced to lie so that Dinan could hide his abilities from many people. Besides that, Dinan is like a Hunter who doesn't know anything and doesn't give Nami any help.
You damn young man! Giving me trouble after he did all this to those monsters! So now, Nami's hunter is the one bearing it all.
Sophie's eyes couldn't take her eyes off the two Hunters who were handing over the crystals in the large bag. They were seen handing over the crystal and joking with the portal guards.
“Is he an auxiliary Hunter or a Carrier Hunter?” asked hunter Sophie in between hunter Nami's explanation of what happened in the portal.
“They are Hunter Apprentices on duty from the Hunter Association to research and check the dimensional rank within the portal. So, they are also having a hard time because the dimensional rank of the portal changes quickly," Hunter Lily's explanation made Hunter Nami not need to explain. That was enough as an explanation about Dinan and Raymond.
Guild Leader Maxime also added to that, "That's right Hunter Sophie, I have received a letter from the Hunter Association for Hunter Apprentices to do research in dimensional portals."
The additional explanation from Hunter Maxime awakened Sophie, she remembered very well who the low-rank Hunter was.
"He's unlucky, he used to bother me when he was first applying for the first Hunter entrance exam. He approached me so he could skip the line. But sadly, I kicked him out! It's a shame because in the end he just ended up as a portal-measurement Hunter and ended up in the Hunter Association."
"But hunter Sophie, he is a good Hunter and is responsible for his duties," Hunter Nami seemed to defend Dinan. It was the nature of those who obtained a high-rank Hunter rank. On average they are arrogant and underestimate others. Hunter Nami knows very well. Hunter Dinan is a Hunter with unlimited power.
Sophie frowned, “That's because he's a sycophant, Mrs. Nami. Everyone is weak, they always have hope of sticking to the strong and taking sympathy. Don't take it to heart, you praise him too much. He even licked me during the first test as a Hunter. However, I left and kicked him out. If he wasn't a sycophant, he wouldn't have ended up in the Hunter Association."
Hunter Nami was shocked to hear the bad words from Hunter Sophie. It was as if Sophie hated hunter Dinan. Maybe, there is something or just the outward appearance people think they already know everything. Sometimes, the assessment is purely subjective.
"But I know Hunter Dinan quite well, Hunter Sophie. He won't do anything bad and during the raid, he's also very responsible,” Nami tried to defend Dinan.
“Stay careful of him, Senior. We don't know what people want by taking the sympathy of others. It could be, you will become a victim and sympathize with him. I'm just reminding him that he is only worthy of the Hunter Association and will never become a Professional Hunter if he continues to seek the sympathy of strong hunters!"
Hunter Nami no longer dared to argue with Hunter Sophie's words. She will not win, because there is no evidence whatsoever. Dinan as everyone knows is only an Apprentice Hunter. That means, no one would believe that it was Dinan who cleared the S rank portal alone.
But, that's enough. After all, one day, Dinan will show his strength to everyone. And, Hunter Nami waited for that moment.
"Never mind, there's no need to make a fuss over something unimportant," the Guild leader interrupted, "Please report all the events inside the dimensional portal, hunter Nami."
The details of everything must be made into reports and data collection within the Guild. The Guild Leader must know all the details of the report from Hunter Nami who has entered the portal with the measurement of the variable dimensional rank.
As before, hunter Nami still explained the same as hunter Lily and also hunter Nok or others. She explained about changing the rank of the portal to Rank S and the Hunters hiding in the second-dimensional portal. Except, for Hunter Nami.
At that time, a monster appeared and it turned out that the portal had returned to the dimensional rank A rank. Hunter Nami finished it herself and when it was finished, the second-dimensional portal also opened. That's all Nami explained, while the other Hunters explained about those who just stayed silent in the second dimension.
The report was received and it was recorded in the Guild records. Measurements that have changed drastically can not be explained why. The reports were considered valid because all the reports of the Hunters inside the portal were very similar and there was no suspicion whatsoever.
The problem that the Guild leader still had in his mind was if the measurement portal changed to Rank S. Supposedly, powerful monsters were residing within the portal. Then..., how did the monsters also disappear along with the lowering of the portal rank?
Hunter Maxime was still thinking about it, but he also had to go home. His two children are waiting, he will think about it again and look for other information.
