64. Going Home

Originally, there were only 5 National Level Hunters. But now there are 11 of them.

Indra, Dewi, and Il Hwan were surely not even participating in the original timeline's raid. But the other 3 which are Norway's Ragnar, Ghana's Kwasi, and Egypt's Dina might be participating in the original timeline but were killed, giving the glory to just 5 people.

But now with more hands and especially Indra's participation, all of them are still alive and even managed to kill Kamish in less than a day. His buffs were so powerful and he even protected them from Kamish's deadly Fire Breath using his barrier.

Still, their contributions were very high in the raid, so they are granted the National Level Hunter ranks, all 11 of them.

This rank was created after a long discussion with many experts and even involved the United Nations.

There were a lot of considerations, but all of them agreed that these 11 Hunters have much higher power than average S-Ranks seeing how they still could fight and defeat the Dragon when 132 S-Rank Hunters couldn't even stand in front of the Dragon.

Keeping them as S-Ranks will actually cause a power imbalance because people will think that average S-Ranks are just as strong as these 11 which will put unwanted pressure on the S-Ranks all over the world.

So they created the National Level as the new rank because these 11 have the power that rivals Nations.

Being as powerful as Nations also means they will have authority at National level as well. After all, no Nation will be stupid enough to make an enemy out of them.

Indra smiles because he finally gets the National Level rank. It will make his plan move much smoother because this rank gives him the most freedom, much more free than S-Ranks.

'Though I never thought that my sister would also get it. Our luck seems to be very good.'

Still, being a National Level doesn't mean they are Nations themselves. Maybe it's more correct to call them their countries' 2nd power after the military. But they surely have more freedom than the military that needs to obey all commands.

The new rank of Hunters becomes a hot-topic in the whole world. All 11 National Levels keep appearing on news and discussions about Hunters.

Talks about Hunters always gather a lot of attention from the public. They are the new idols in this new era. S-Rank Hunters easily become more famous than any celebrities in their countries now.

Even Indra and Dewi who almost never entertain the public are very famous in Indonesia. They get even more popular now that they become National Level Hunters.

Indonesian citizens are very happy their country has become one of the only 2 countries that have 2 National Level Hunters. Only the USA and Indonesia have 2 National Level Hunters, after all.

Even those who always criticize them start praising them now. The Government is also very relieved they changed the rules that Indra demanded before the siblings left for America.

If they didn't change it yet back then, the National Level siblings might truly leave their country immediately upon returning and every country out there will do everything to recruit the siblings.

The president even immediately calls Indonesia's Hunter Bureau Director to ask if he wants to move the Bureau's HQ to Bali, near the home of their National Level Hunters.

But the Director doesn't think that it's a good idea because it might disturb them, which they won't like. Rather than moving their HQ, it's better to just improve the branch in Bali to support the siblings better.

Back in America, the S-Rank Hunters are finally leaving after staying for quite a long time. Some of them still stay to enjoy some vacations here, but most are returning to their countries, including Indra and Dewi.

They are escorted to the airport along with some S-Ranks who have similar flight schedules. Of course, they get First Class seats with full-services to make sure they are very comfortable during their flight.

"Hey, little bro, what's the plan after this?"

"Forming our Guild, of course. We were doing that when the S-Rank Gate suddenly appeared."

"Oh, right. But we haven't decided on a name. What do you think will be good?"

"Not sure, I'm not that good at giving names, so why don't you decide, sis?"

Dewi starts thinking of the name for their Guild, giving Indra peace by not disturbing him who wants to take a nap.

Then after hours of flight, they finally arrive at Bali's International Airport. The exit is filled with people who want to see them. Even the President and some high-ranking people like the military Generals are there.

But the ones they approach first are obviously their families. There's no way they don't choose to hug their sobbing mother who seems very happy that they've returned. Even the President can't do anything about that.

Only after their mother calms down and their family members know they are fine do they come to greet the officials. Of course, they go to the President first as the highest ranking official here, then greet the others.

"Mr. President, my sister and I sure are happy to bring honor to our country, not another."

"Y-yes, I am very glad with that too."

The President smiles awkwardly when he hears what Indra says. They really almost lost 2 Hunters with power higher than almost all the other Hunters in the world.

Now these self-centered politicians know the true value of Hunters. They've seen the battle video of the S-Rank Hunters against the Red Dragon that was recorded using a satellite.

The video was not complete when it was shown in the UN conference when the USA proposed the National Level rank and special treatments for the 11 strongest Hunters.

But everyone could see the terrifying power of that Red Dragon. So now they understand just how dangerous an S-Rank Gate is. That's why every country is now worried if another S-Rank Gate will appear in their country.

Indonesia is no exception. That's why they are very relieved to have 2 National Level Hunters in their country. After all, they are not as wealthy as the USA, so it will be very hard for them to hire that many S-Ranks or even all the National Level Hunters if an S-Rank Gate appears there.

They are the 4th most populated country in the world. So the chance of their citizens awakening high-ranking power is very high.

They will get more S-Ranks, so they need to make sure these S-Ranks won't leave their country because now every country truly understands the value of high-ranking Hunters, especially the S-Ranks.

"Whether we will be a powerful country that can protect ourselves from this new dangerous threat or not is all up to how this country treats the ones who risk their lives by fighting those monsters."

Indra says it to the President in a low voice while they shake hands.

"Y-you're right."

"Low Rank Hunters, High Rank Hunters, all of them risk their lives by entering unknown worlds, fighting man-eating monsters to protect our world. They risk their lives so you can put your ass in that comfortable chair, sleep on your soft bed, and fill your belly with tax money. So I hope they are treated well regardless of their ranks."

"O-of course. W-we won't make regulations that will harm the Hunters."

"That's great. I'm sure you are a man of your words, Mr. President."

Indra needs to make sure that the politicians don't do stupid things and make stupid regulations for Hunters. They obviously still need to make laws for the Hunters because Hunters can also do crimes.

But bad regulations can lead them to great losses. Hunters' death rates can skyrocket just because of bad regulations. Many awakeners might also refuse to become Hunters because of these bad regulations, which is not good as the number of Gates found keeps increasing.

Anyway, after entertaining the press that comes to the airport, Indra and Dewi go home with their family. Then after resting for a few days, they finally make their Guild.
