Returning Home (Part 2/2).

"What is your name and business here?" one of the guards asked, eyeing him with suspicion.

"My name is Delvin, and I am a low levelled hunter." he replied, trying to sound as confident as possible, while showing the hunter badge that he had taken from Jules' dead body. The hunter badges for all of the normal hunters looked same as of having a hunter academy sign printed on a wooden circular badge, except for the hunters which had high ranking and authority in the kingdom and were given silver or gold badges accordingly.

"I am seeking to return back to the kingdom for purchasing of a sword as I had broken mine in a fight with beast."

The guards exchanged a quick glance, clearly not entirely convinced by his answer. But they also knew that they couldn't simply turn him away without good reason, because the boy still had his hunter's badge. Hunters were respected in every part of the kingdom as they fought with beasts.
