Hunters Royale

HUSTLE!!

A small author note at the beginning.

I'll be using the symbol (××) in the following chapter. Please keep in mind that it is a flashback moment.

It means the Main Character will be thinking back or reproducing a passed memory again inside his mind.

Enjoy the chapter.

.....

"Demon-Possessed Hunter..."

"Is he... by any chance"

*GULP*

"Looking... for me!!??"

.....

"It's highly possible... If I put two and two together, then it's just an easy fact that this Diamond Tier Hunter is out for my head... Or to declare it simply"

*Step*

"He's here for This Demon Lord's head... or whatever that's inside me"

Jin stood up, slowly inching towards the window which was polar to where he was standing. The window, which he was trying to sneak off to, was directed to the school's backyard, and the electrical fence, which if cleared, will directly lead to the mountain trail.

But what stood like a wall before him was the possibility of him escaping before getting caught by the Diamond Tier Hunter.

What he planned on doing was to escape through the window and run towards the mountain peak.

If what his intuition said was correct, then the Demon Lord who predicted this would happen and warned him about it would've wanted him to rush towards the Awakening Centre on top.

Half of his intellect doubted it. Why would the demon lord want him to awaken an HEQ as soon as possible?. The matter which he forgot to tell the demon between this mess was that the Awakening if done manually, increased the risk of failing and activating a lesser favorable class.

But the other half seemed to counter his questions. Of course, The Demon Lord wouldn't utter nonsense and tell him to jump the gun right away. The Demon Lord could not achieve what he wants unless Jin helps him and Jin knew it.

There was no way The Demon Lord wanted him to perish yet.

But why'd the Demon Lord go silent at a time like this?.

OHH.

A sudden but dubious guess went across his mind. The Demon Lord, if his guess was valid, then was making an effort to remain silent so that he didn't give up his position.

Thinking back to what the hunter had said before then his guess might prevail to be a legitimate one.

If he remembered it correctly, then, the hunter had said...

×× "I don't sense the Demon possessed hunter anymore... Prepare and send a satellite image of the heat signatures of system enabled users nearby this school right now" ××

"YES!!. That's exactly what he said!!"
Jin's exclaim was quelled by his own hands.

His culmination made sense.

The Hunter sensed him before because The Demon Lord was talking to him, which eventually made the demon's presence visible for the tracking satellites... But somehow the entity inside him had figured that out and had suppressed its presence.

It was an absolute 1000 IQ move by the Genius Demon Lord.

Which meant... He only had one choice. Jin wasn't sure what would happen to him if he got caught by the hunter, but if he does succeed in escaping, then he could pretty much figure the rest later.
