chapter 7

Six years passed. After an accident where my parents died I decided to move out from my parents house and live alone with Annie. Sean started visiting me more often as well as Max who I consider my older brother because of how overprotective he is of me after the accident. Thanks to the dungeon raid from six years ago I became famous as the youngest talented hunter ever born I gained a lot of connections and I reviewed a lot of offers to join other guilds though I refused them all. I was going back home from school when I heard Annie, Ethan's sister as well as my manager, calling me. I answered the call to here her nagging about a problem with a new raid. I smiled and said: "Annie first calm down then slowly tell me everything" she asked: "What do you mean calm down?! They want to send Sean, Max and you to do a raid abroad in two days, they already prepared everything without asking first. Can you believe it?!" I asked: "Where are we going?" she said: "They told me they will probably send you in Beijing" I said: "Oh. It's a good change to ask him to make me my personal weapon then. I didn't have a chance to ask before as I never had to go abroad" she asked: "Is that really all you have to say?! Oh?!" I said: "It's not like we can do anything about Annie...they already prepared everything and it will look bad if we decide to protest or anything like that now. We can think about that when we come back" she said: "I guess you are right" I asked: "Have they already told Sean and Max about it at least?" she said: "Yes. I called them just before I called you" I said: "Ok, that's good then. Sorry but I need to hang up right now. I'll see you at home" I hang up and called Mel and sighed when she didn't answered and I thought: "I hope nothing happened...I don't want to have to find someone new...who am I kidding...I already care about them too much" I called the manager of the café and he also didn't answer so I started to get worried. I called Annie to tell her that I may be late as something came up and asked Nathan to localize where Mel and the manager were to see that they were together in an abandoned safehouse near a lake and I immediately understood what happened. I said: "Those idiot!" I started running as fast as I could to see a car stopping. They were Max and Sean, who probably got called from Annie after I told her something came up. I ran to the car and got inside as I asked: "Sean could you take me to your house?I'll explain later" he nodded and started driving as fast as he could as he could feel something was wrong. After arriving at their house I explained everything and together we came up with a plan. After everything was ready Sean drove to the safehouse while me and Max were reviewing our plan. Gunshots could be heard everywhere and I still hadn't found those two. I thought: "I swear when they find them they will experience hell..." Nathan laughed and said: "You are such a tsundere" I thought: "Does this look like a time to joke around to you?!" he said: "Sorry" and I rolled my eyes as I shot another guard. As soon as I found them I called Sean and Max and we drove away. When we were safe I asked: "What the hell were you two thinking doing something like that?! Are you tow idiots?! Did you even gain something from that little trip you did?! Next time if you want to do something like that plan everything out and do it until the end not half-made like that! Are you trying to ruin the work we did in all these years?! If so then I really don't need you" they lowered their head, saying nothing and I asked: "Sean, sorry but could you stop here and then take them home? Annie will worry" he nodded and I thanked him as I the went home. When I saw Annie I hugged her tight and said: "I'm home, Annie. Sorry for worrying you and thank you" she said nothing but hugged me back as she pet my head. The next day I went to the blacksmiths and asked Jake to make me my personal weapon and he said: "I just need some hours. I already have the materials and the design is already done. I knew sooner or later you were going to ask me to make it" I said: "You are as arrogant as ever..." he smirked and said: "That's just my charm" I rolled my eyes and said: "Call me when you are done" and went to visit Max and Sean. Max pat my head and asked: "Are you ok? Do you need your dear perfect brother to cheer you up?" I smiled and said: "If brother is here then I'm fine" Sean asked: "What about me?" I said: "You are just my driver and my teacher, I don't care about you, hmph" he said: "You are so mean...Max say something" Max asked: "Do you want to eat anything?" I said: "Yes! Brother's cooking is the best~" Sean said: "You both are meanies...ignoring me like that..." I stick out my tongue and winked as me and Max moved to the kitchen and Max asked: "Are you sure you want to leave him like that?" I said: "He'll live" he asked: "Did you decide to go with us to Beijing in the end?" I said: "Yes. I don't want the public to think bad of us after all..." he said: "You worry to much. Nothing will say anything as they were at fault this time. But if you really want to go then it's fine" I said: "I want to go"
