The Abandoned Hunter

Chapter 176: Rank Up

Jay had finally decided to go and have a re-evaluation. Of course, he wanted fame and name since he wanted to be the strongest hunter.

But more than that, he wanted to help his mother right now.

He had a few ideas to help her one of which included selling items from the inventory.

Needless to say, he had many items in inventory that were not that rare to find however he had tons of them!

They could easily fetch him some good price and thanks to that there won't be a money problem for quite some time, at least as long as he worked as a hunter and hunted more beasts.

He could see Sera in the next room where some doctors were seeing if she was mentally alright.

'It was all my fault...'

'I should have realized that the sorcerers would come after my family...'

Technically, it wasn't Jay's fault because he never once thought that the information would spread so quickly that they would start their attack by the time Jay had returned from the other country.

Of course, now he regretted the fact that he wasn't using the good memory that he was born with.

He did have a pretty good IQ, he could basically recall everything from his childhood.

Indeed, he was able to memorize anything in an instant, however, what he lacked were patience and common sense!

Also, he had to think about everything logically and scientifically despite the fact that magic and special skills existed.

He sat on top of a building and thought all this while looking at Sera via the window.

'Now I'm aware of what I should be doing next...'

Indeed, the first thing now that he had to do was to announce his increased ranking to the world.

He thought that he was good enough to announce that. Well, he was preying after the benefits that came with the higher rank.

But that didn't mean that he disregarded the dangers of being a high ranker!

Whatever it may be, he thought about fighting all those things head-on.

'I need to go and use these keys that I had received earlier.', he thought while looking at all the keys that he had received earlier.

He knew one thing, whatever the system did was to make him stronger, however, he had no idea why the system chose him.

This thought struck him when he started to think deeply about it.

It could have been anyone else, so what was the reason that he became the host to carry a system.

What exactly was the system and how was it able to punish him or give him skills? That was another question that dwelled in his mind.

"Let's go back for now...", just after saying he teleports away.

He was a student even now however he thought that it was no longer necessary for him to study. Although he was 18, he wanted to do greater things.

This he decided to drop out which he wanted to do on his own and for that a reasonable incident or reasons were to be provided and Jay thought that being a high tanker was a good enough reason.

At least, that's what he thought. He had basically bet his everything on his rank.

Although he already knew about his rank from the system, he doubted that in human terms the ranks might have been different due to which he thought about giving it a try.

But little did he know that he would be completely surprised when his rank would be revealed!

He passed the day and asked Res to let him take the re-Evaluation or retest. Res was more than excited to welcome him because he too wanted to know where Jay stood.

Jay arrived on time as Res had mentioned. The Hunter Association's guild was quite huge.

Jay was baffled by it, but in any case, he just walked calmly as if trying to be cool.

Since it was Sunday, most of the hunters were off duty. That was the same for other higher officials due to which Res held the highest power right now/

This meant that he would be able to allow Jay to take another test and no one would be able to complain about it.

"Come here Jay, place your hands on this crystal..."

A huge white crystal was placed at exactly the center of the completely white room.

"Alright...", Jay placed his right hand on the crystal.

'Huh? That's weird...'

'Why isn't it showing any reactions?', Res was confused.

He waited for more than five minutes but even now there was no reaction on the crystal.

Moreover, the machine that was connected to the crystal read Jay's magic power as 'Zero'. This surprised Res even more.

'That's weird...'

'This has never happened before...'

In any case, Jay was getting bored by continuously placing his hand on the crystal for more than thirty minutes.

He was waiting for the results but the Evaluation never did occur in the first place!

"I'm sorry Jay, but it seems like the crystal isn't working...", was what Res said.

"Huh?", now Jay was confused.

He didn't waste his time on anything, at least that's how it was supposed to be.

Res could see that Jay was irritated by that.

"Hmm, let's do one thing..."

"Defeat me in a battle..."

"That way I will be able to give you a rank up!", was what Res said.

Without wasting his time, Jay moved with his fastest speed and punched Res with all of his strength.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

'Bam'

Jay thought that Res would be able to last longer, however, with just one attack, Res was forced on his knees.

Res was powerful for sure, way more powerful than most S rankers, however, he was injured.

Probably because of that Jay's Attacks had double the effects? Well yes, Jay was strong too, so strong that he could take down Res!

It was needless to worry about his rank!
