"Which is why you should be paying attention," Luo Qingling said angrily as she helped Luo Huian. "Don’t let your powers turn you blind, Master Duan."
"Blind? I am not blind, Guild leader!" Duan Ji Xu snapped harshly, feeling a tad bit annoyed at the prospect of being called arrogant. He snorted and said, "It is not my fault that the training hall could not contain my power and ended up getting destroyed like this. If the security systems were still functioning I would have known that you and Miss Qiang had co over."
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head and the protective gears on his face ca down.
"What have you done to your face?" Luo Huian gasped while looking at Duan Ji Xu. He was a good-looking r but because of his gloomy disposition and old, patched clothes, he looked rather normal.
However, now that the r had styled himself he looked charming. With his perd brown hair and violet eyes that seed to sparkle with a fire of their own.
"What’s wrong? Does it not suit ?" Duan Ji Xu asked. He completely forgot about his quarrel with Luo Qingling and turned his entire attention to Luo Huian. He was worried that she would not like his new look.
"No—It does, it suits you so much that I could not even recognise you at first," Luo Huian praised the r while looking at his black-fitting outfit and his face which had chiselled and sharpened overnight.
His physique had also turned lean and muscular. He seed really good-looking.
"This happens when a person awakens their powers as a hunter, the higher ranking they are the more their appearance would get better," explained Luo Qingling. "There is also the fact that Jia Xu needed to be styled according to the coordinator of the guild. She said that it is necessary to bring out his finest features as he will be soon asked to shoot many comrcials and give interviews."
"That’s right, the coordinator told that as I have awakened as an S rank hunter, and also the mber of the heavens knights’ guild, I am now also the face of the guild," chid Duan Jia Xu happily. "They said that I need to look my best in front of everyone so that no one will look down on my guild."
He rubbed the back of his neck and added, "I am going to the Hunter Association to refill my skills and the change of ranks. So, the stylists might have overdone as it is my first appearance after awakening in public."
"Woah, that’s incredible," Luo Huian turned to look at Luo Qingling. She remarked, "It seems like S rank hunters are treated like celebrities."
"It is not that serious," Luo Qingling cleared her throat and said, "The Hunter Association wants to pretend that they are on the rather good side of all the S-rank hunters which is why they ask all the companies and corporations to treat S rank hunters as their VIP."
"It’s their way to hold maximum power in their hands. Though the nation is ruled by ministers and officials, they are more or less puppets in the hands of the association. They do what they are asked."
"So by bringing small benefits to the S ranking hunters, the association tries to promote its image as well. Not to ntion, if S rank hunters are shown on television, many won, n and rs would try to awaken as the S rank hunters as well."
"This is the association’s way to make people feel ambitious and train harder."
"I don’t think training will help," said Luo Huian as she knew that the awakening of a person depended on how well they were handling their aura of gloom.
"No, it does not," Luo Qingling smiled ruefully. "But that is how the association proceeds. It has opened several training centres and ah, also many drinks and supplents that would help the people get stronger."
"I thought that their job was to protect hunters," Luo Huian asked crossly. She turned and looked at Luo Qingling with a frown, "Why does it sound like a shady business dealing organisation."
"Because that is what has beco of it," guffawed Duan Jia Xu harshly. "When the hunter association ca into power for the first ti, they truly wanted to help hunters and commoners who could not awaken but soon their thirst for power and greed to hold the best hunters in the palm of their hands exceeded their concern for the weak."
"Now the association rallies a lot about how the world needs S rank hunters and how people should work harder. It’s because of them and their attitude that the F-class hunters are treated like the scum of the society. They do not see them as humans, and everyone follows the association so they too treat the F rank hunters as useless scums."
Duan Jia Xu was frowning as he picked up the form that he had filled out and handed it to Luo Qingling, "I have filled it out, take a look and tell if there is sothing that needs to be changed."
He didn’t trust the association.
Luo Qingling took the form from him and then started studying the skills. She said, "Can you go into the details of your skills?"
"Hmmm, let’s see," Duan Jia Xu blinked his eyes. "The first skill is Fire Emblem, you saw it on the day of awakening, right? I can control the timing of the fire when it’s ignited or doused."
"I can also summon a flaming cloud to fly in the air because of the skill: Cloud Chaos."
"You just saw the third skill Roaring Inferno, it could be used to goad the anger, frustration and despair of my opponents and make them do sothing foolish as they will lose their minds for a while. However, there is a little problem, it also distorts the surrounding areas a bit which weakens it a little."
"That would explain why the entire training room is a ss," Luo Huian remarked.
"And there is one last skill: Smoke Diffuser. I can beco a wisp of smoke and possess anyone at any ti. It is quite a scary skill which is why I am debating whether to put it in the form or not."
"That’s indeed a terrifying skill," stated Luo Huian with a shudder.
"I know right, this is why I haven’t noted it down."
