24 Night Fight (Part 1)

"I never saw an E-rank hunter as powerful as you" Henry said to Evan, he already came out from the van along with his driver after Evan took care of the monsters.

"Thanks" Evan said without much interest. Only Henry was talking with Evan. Dean and George who were previously talking to Evan casually now looking at him warily.

Evan also understands their situation, if he was in their place he would also feel suspicious if someone who is an E rank killed three D-rank monsters without breaking a sweat.

But currently, Evan could not care less about them because he was thinking about the thin black layer that appeared on his sword earlier.

'Just what was that black energy, the power of my attack increased too much because of that' Evan already checked his status window and there was no information about that black energy.

'Is this also related to my monarch core' Evan thought while eating an apple.

'Forget it there are too many things that I don't know about this monarch core, I will eventually figure out everything' Evan thought and stopped thinking about that black energy.

"When will we leave from here?" Evan asked Henry.

"Let's rest for one more hour before leaving".

"Alright" Evan nodded and continue to guard their surroundings, Evan was feeling quite awkward because after seeing his strength other hunters were looking at him warily.

'I bet they must be thinking I was hiding my strength to backstab them later and rob their belongings' Evan thought while rubbing his temples.

"Alright let's go we still have to cover quite a distance" Henry shouted while his driver packed the barbecue and other equipments.

After five minutes everyone sat down in the van and it started moving toward Oklima city.

"Look, I know why you guys are being suspicious, and looking at me like this, but I have no intentions of harming you, so stop looking at me like you are looking at your lifelong enemy" Evan said to others after the van started to move once again.

Dean and George were hesitating a bit after hearing Evan when Evan saw this he just sighed and did not say anything.

"Although I did not talk to him in the academy I can say that he is a good person so you should stop being suspicious of him, or we might get in danger while facing other monsters" suddenly everyone heard James's voice who was sitting with his eyes closed.

When George and Dean heard this they looked at each other and nodded "alright we will trust you, but I hope you won't do anything suspicious".

"Don't worry, I just wanted to take a break from the academy and collect some cores, I don't have any other motive to come here".

"Collect some cores, with your strength you can easily collect cores from a D-rank dungeon," Dean said when he heard Evan.

"My situation is a bit complicated so don't mind me" Evan said without explaining much after all he can't say that two days ago he was just an F-rank hunter who can't even increase his power because of his physique.

James heard everything quietly but did not say anything.

"By the way, I saw you using two skills when you were fighting against those monsters did you get a skill book in the past after clearing a dungeon or you awakened two skills at the same time" George asked curiously to change the atmosphere.

Dean and James also looked at Evan curiously because it is very rare for people to have more than one skill.

You can get a skill book as a reward after clearing a dungeon, but it is extremely rare and can be sold for thousands of credits depending on what kind of skill you are selling. Dean and George who are normal hunters can't even imagine buying a skill book.

"Ya, I got lucky last time when I cleared a dungeon and received a skill book" Evan said with a light smile there is no way he is going to tell anyone he can get skills just by absorbing the energy of the cores.

He knew his life will be in danger if other people know about his physique which can basically turn the evolving system of Arora's world upside down. That's why Evan did not use his shadow bullet skill during the fight since it will be suspicious if he use too many skills.

"I also cleared some dungeons with my friends but we never received a skill book" Dean said in an envious tone after hearing Evan.

Both Dean and George believed on Evan that he got his skill from the dungeon, only James was looking at him suspiciously because just like everyone in the academy he also knew that Evan never went into a dungeon with anyone.

But even if he was suspicious he can't do anything.

The rest of the day passed without any problems and soon the sun was about to set.

"Let's make a camp here since the sun is about to set" everyone hear Henry's voice and no one objected because it will be quite hard to make a camp if the sun set down.

The van stopped moving and everyone came out from it "you two guard here Evan and I will check our surroundings" George said to Dean and James after coming out from the van.

"Be careful it will be dangerous since it already started to get dark" George said to Evan seriously.

Evan nodded after hearing this but he was not bothered by this because even in the darkness he was able to see clearly thanks to his monarch core, and he even felt like he can see better during the night time.

'Truly a monarch physique' Evan thought when he saw how he was able to see in low light without any problems.

Evan and George were looking around their surroundings they were around one hundred meters away from each other so they can cover more area and help each other if something happens.

Evan was holding his sword in his hand and was looking at his surroundings carefully, although he was strong he knew he will be done for if he become arrogant and did not pay attention to his surroundings.

Suddenly Evan heard the sound of someone coming towards him and looked at his right side, just as Evan looked at his right side a rabbit jumped out from the bushes.

The rabbit looks normal in size but what made it different from normal rabbits was the horn that was coming out from its head.

''A horned rabbit" Evan was surprised when he saw this rabbit because they are pretty rare.

According to what Evan read on Internet the meat of horned rabbits is quite delicious but it is very hard to catch them because they are experts in escaping.

Evan quickly pointed his finger toward the horned rabbit and shot a shadow bullet toward it, since the rabbit was just an E-rank monster it wasn't able to dodge the bullet and died on the spot when the bullet pierce through its brain.

"Looks like I will finally be able to taste how the horned rabbit tastes like," Evan said and picked up the horned rabbit.
