The World We Do Not Know 169 Hunters

*"I wonder how he is really doing in the festival!"* Tsumugi recalls Faust.

She couldn't help but worry about him. Because the festival his school took part in, is the tournament for power between schools of higher and lower earth.

The higher earth is the city of military, n.o.bles, royals and those who work under them. They are provided with new minerals and materials that cannot be found on earth. It can be called as the new version of the earth with new technology and power that rivals heavens.

Whereas the lower earth is where the poor and normal people reside, among the rubble of fallen castles and decaying iron! Their only purpose is to send their offspring into the military. Who will then serve the n.o.bles for their entire life.

"You don't need to worry about our captain madam. There are no general cla.s.s high school students on this entire earth."

"And there are only five captain cla.s.s students in the present festival. Among whom, two of them are from our house." The head butler, Charles rea.s.sured Tsumugi to not worry about Faust and his skills.

"Who would have thought that the weak school of Medellin would be facing one of the top schools of the upper city?" Leviathan speaks out to his squad members.

"Yes, Master! Not to mention, most students of that school are the members of that Elbaf house." A member of his squad responds.

"And they are going with the weakest looking member of this entire arena. He is still a freshman. Man will he get beat up by everyone. This round would be boring to watch." Korona, the member who was asked his opinion about Faust replies in an arrogant tone

"It's that school, huh?" Leviathan contemplates as he speaks.

"Ahhhhh, the match ground is bigger than I imagined yo Awarnach!" Faust is standing in front of a small dais. He cannot help but show sarcasm towards the administration.

It is in a rectangle shape, the length is broad but the diameter of its broadness is very short.

"Faust! We will be teleported to a different area once we all stand on that dais. And the location we will be teleporting is so s.p.a.cious that you can literally build a huge mansion in it with a golf court and racing track." Awarnach explains.

"Oh, it's like that one I experienced in the House of Ashura's." Faust recalls the first time he saw a similar stage as the present one.

"And Faust! Do you see those three chairs and those people sitting on top of all the audience seats?" Awarnach mumbles in the ears of Faust while pointing his finger towards the three seats that are above all the audience seats and even the n.o.ble's gallery.

Faust casually looks at the top and sees the three golden chairs decorated with red and green gems. They look as though they are particularly made for the three-persons sitting in them.

"Who are they? I can understand that they are some big shots, but what kind?" Faust asks.

"They are the top three members of the hunters!" Awarnach responses to Faust.

"Hunters?" Faust asks with a question mark on his face.

In this world, the powerful people are those who have powerful general cla.s.s soldiers. Even though they enlist in the military and serve the country. They are loyal to the family they are under.

These powerful generals each possess the power of a thousand soldiers. And these Generals are controlled by the House Captains, and the House Captains are controlled by the Lord's of the houses.

In the end, they are controlled within their family, bound by the rules of that family and not by the military. When a person possesses enormous power, they might use the power for good and bad. When an entire family uses their powers to commit crimes, the military turns a blind eye on them.

Hence, both the continents of the earth, including the kingdom of G.o.d, came up with a special unit that gives special permissions.

They have come up with Hunters, a unit made up of members of the Earth. No matter which continent they are from and which country. An elite group of Ten members have been given Hunter badges.

The hunters can hunt any being on the earth. They can kill anyone on the earth. Even if it's a n.o.ble or the king or G.o.d. They are permitted to barge into any house, to kill anyone. 

That is, as long as they have the power to take the enemy down. Getting a Hunter badge is an impossible task itself. It takes five to ten years for a new hunter to be decided. It is based on one's heart rather than power.

The most amusing thing is that Hunters never once killed an innocent soul. Anyone from any country or family can become a hunter if they are approached by them. And while staying with their respective family, they can perform the duties of a Hunter by patrolling and purging of sinister beings.

"You basically get a license to kill anyone if you become a hunter. That is what a hunter is. And I heard they opt for ridiculously strong members." Awarnach however, tells a totally different definition of hunters.

"The strongest huh, and a license to kill anyone? No question asked? That sounds kind of interesting." Faust breaks his knuckles as he gets ready for his match.

"I think I have a reason to fight now in this festival. The strongest shall come out." Faust walks up to the dais along with his squad and the school for giants from the house of Elbaf starts walking towards them.

Both of the squads face each other while standing in a line. Cameron is faced with the ugly face of Santner that looks more than just p.i.s.sed.

Awarnach is faced with the goofy face of East, The Asian girl is faced with a handsome guy and Faust is faced with a rather calm looking person with sharp eyes.

*Transport*

With a buzz, both the squads instantly teleport to a strange place.

The battle for flags, The flag game starts now!
