Wind of Change
Rudy is panicking because his sister is not home, he walks around his room when suddenly he sees a note that state,
"Rudy, I'm at father, Don't worry and find me in Mutiara Hospital in area 1"
Seeing the note, Rudy sigh in relief.
He once again goes out of his little home and started walking towards area one after he takes his metallic all-function watch.
In this era, people are using an all-function watch that can be used for literally anything, communication, paying, some even have auto defense mode and combat suit in it.
Area 1 is not that far from where he lives, Area 2, So Rudy decided to walks to Mutiara Hospital.
After fifteen minutes of walking,
HOOONKK!!
A honking sound was heard as Rudy glance to his right.
A woman that is crossing the street is about to get hit by a fast-moving luxurious car, She has long curly black and purple hair wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
Rudy wanted to ignore it but he suddenly recognized the woman,
'Wait, Curly black and purple hair?'
"LESTARI!", Rudy shouted in shock, It was his sister!!
Rudy's body unconsciously bends in reflex as he prepares to dash, All of his power is channeled to his legs as he dashes with extreme speed.
In a flash, Rudy arrives at his sister's side and pushes his sister away from the coming car.
Rudy raises his hand in front of him helpless.
'So this is it, This is where I'm going to die', Rudy closes his eyes.
BAAAMM!
The car hit Rudy hard, The car was moving about one hundred kilometers per hour.
The nearby people gasp in shock as they close their eyes not wanting to look at Rudy.
After the sound vanishes, they slowly open their eyes but the outcome was not as they expected.
They thought that the boy will definitely die from the impact but reality proves them wrong, Rudy is still standing firm with his arms up while the car is stopped by Rudy's arm.
Rudy felt a numbing pain on his arm, he slowly opens his eyes and gasp in shock.
'Wait, I'm not dead?!' he exclaimed in surprise in his mind.
He slowly stands up while rubbing his numb arms.
The onlookers were shocked, only one thing comes to their mind.
"Seeker...", one of the crowd murmurs quietly, afraid of offending Rudy.
"That person in the car is dead, He just offended a Seeker, A very young one at that too," said a woman in the crowd while shaking her head.
A middle-aged man opens the car as he slowly walks out, blood is dripping from his forehead.
*Cough* *Cough*
After he gets out of his car, the middle-aged man's face turns pale, He immediately kneels in front of Rudy as he apologizes.
The middle-aged man said, "Young one, forgive this old dog, It's my mistake please don't kill me I'll give you anything just please don't kill me, I have a family to feed", He apologizes while banging his head on the ground repeatedly.
Rudy was shocked for a second before returning to his stern face, This kind of reaction from the middle-aged man makes sense.
Only one outcome if you offend a Seeker, Death!
He rubs his chin slowly as he looks to the luxurious car, 'So, the experiment is a success and somehow I become a Seeker when I'm not even eighteen yet and also from the impact that I withstand, I'm probably a peak tama rank Seeker'
The path of a Seeker is divided into 7 ranks, Tama, Bintara, High Bintara, Executor, Marsekal, Marsekal Champion, And King rank.
Becoming a tama rank means that the person has made a contract with a Spirit and their body is strengthen based on the Spirit's attributes while advancing to the Bintara rank will allow the user to use some of the Spirit's traits such as a weapon, body enhancement, or magic.
After a brief silence Rudy say, "You owe me one, Give me your contact and I will inform you what i want"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man is ecstatic, he immediately nods and gives Rudy his contact.
'I survive!, thank god that Seeker is a kind one', the middle-aged man thought while wiping his sweat.
After getting the contract, Rudy turns around and walks to his sister.
As he walks closer, the woman started to look different.
The woman stands up, brush off his jeans, and said, "Thanks for saving my life, I will do everything I can to repay you"
Rudy frown when he heard this, It was not his sister!
'This is a drag, I should've ignored her', Rudy thought.
The curly black and purple hair is actually only curly black hair, the purple comes from the purple shop lights that are on Rudy's right.
Rudy turns around and started walking away trying to leave the woman behind, but the woman didn't let him.
"Wait!" shouted the woman.
Rudy didn't stop and keep walking.
The woman is clearly annoyed so she walks in front of Rudy and spread her arm to block him.
"What do you want?" asked Rudy with a clear annoyance on his face.
"I wanted to pay you back so give me your contact" replied the woman while stretching out her hand.
Rudy doesn't want to waste any more time, so he quickly gives his number and started walking again.
"Wait!", The woman shouted again.
"What now?" replied Rudy with a hint of anger in his voice.
"My name is Shinta, What's yours?" asked Shinta with an innocent look, brushing off Rudy's angry tone.
"Rudy" replied Rudy flatly as he started to walk again.
'If she calls me one more time, I will punch her annoying face', Rudy thought in his mind while readying himself to punch Shinta.
But thankfully, Shinta didn't call him out again, She just looks at Rudy's back in thought.
"That guy is clearly not using any traits or skills, so he's definitely only Tama Rank Seeker but that kind of strength is impossible in Tama Rank unless," murmurs Shinta as she rides on her motorcycle and takes off.
After walking for another five minutes, Rudy arrived at Mutiara Hospital.
He asked about his father to the receptionist and started walking to the assigned room.
Reaching the room, he walks into it and saw his sister watching the tv.
Lestari glances at Rudy, She immediately runs to give Rudy a bear hug with tears on her face.
"Where were you?! You have gone for a week!" asked Lestari to Rudy.
Rudy can only smile wryly and said, "It's nothing, I just had a little thing to take care of".
Lestari cries harder as she said, "Don't lie to me! What kind of thing you do to get twelve billion rupiahs! did you sell your body parts?!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just I can't tell you yet but I promise I'm all good. Don't cry, mind your age please," replied Rudy half-jokingly.
Lestari decided to believe in Rudy as she said with a puffed face, "Don't do that again, Don't scare me like that"
But deep inside, Lestari is thankful to Rudy.
Because of him they can at least kept their house, pay their father's medical bill, and live well enough for a few years.

Meanwhile, in a neat office that has a full view of Jakarta City, a middle-aged man with a fierce aura, a clean-cut beard, and a red crew cut hairstyle is sitting on his chair while looking at the hologram.
If Rudy feels the man aura, he can't sustain the pressure of this middle-aged man.
This man is none other than one of the upper management of NSSB, Axel Prasetyo.
Axel's sharp eyebrows are knitted closer as if he's thinking hard about something.
Just ten minutes ago, one of the agents of NSSB report to him that the attack on District V Area 1 is an attack of a group of three monsters towards a civilian.
Monsters are sealed in their region but some manage to get out but up until now there's only one monster attack case, this time it turned into three monsters.
'The seal must have weakened during these thousand years, the monster catastrophe will come back again' The middle-aged man's thoughts as he takes his cigarette and lit it up and breath it in.
'We must take precaution' he thought as he exhales the smoke.
