Grimm Summoning System

Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Trespassing

a Village guard Mason Edenworth, 30 years old sighed depressingly.

hearing the news that the Village huntsman will momentarily depart out of the village to assist with the dangerous rise of Grimm population

and because Ilhim, the great village entirely absent of its huntsman. the village chief ordered to increase defense around the the village wall, and the amount of patrol to be doubled.

hearing the news about the hunstmans and the admiration from his fellow guard, yet he feel something unusual in the barrack back then.

Envy

of course not his envy, he wasn't used to be the Unknown gate guardian, in fact he was a former unlicensed huntsman, In short a Mercenary.

with huntsman existing, mercenary normally would have almost no role outside of human settlement compared to the superhuman level huntsman that is much more reliable at dealing with grimm.

Yet Huntsman is not Unlimited, even the weakest huntsman team in service is still a valuable manpower. No huntsman team will have time checking every random grimm attack, becoming every merchant escort, nor clearing every passage route.

and that's where the mercenary came in. while individually never stronger than huntsman, they make up in sheer number, in short they are the cheaper alternative to the specialist Huntsman. for a group of Mercenary is cheaper than a single huntsman.

while not officially announced, mercenary act as second rate huntsman in many part of the remnant. dealing with task that is out of huntsman job and minor grimm infestation.

As a former mercenary he have seen a horror in the world untouched by human.

with his experience he could tell by the sudden huntsman departure and the lack of mercenary, that the grimm attack on surrounding settlement may not be as simple.

So far theres no sign of irregularity on the grimm infested forest despite the grimm problem other minor village seems to be facing, theres so far no change with the level of aggression the grimm is emitting.

yet he couldn't help but feel a sudden goosebump crawling inside his skin.

his Semblance is giving constant danger signal.

he called it mercenary instinct, and such semblance had saved his life on many occasions

yet strangely he doesn't feel any danger from the forest?

Its somewhere, but he can't pinpoint it.

...His semblance....

It been sending warning since 2 months ago yet instead of decreasing it keep constantly active and even a higher rate than usual.

a deep grumble from his side clear his thought away.

"it's at this time I wish we have those Faunus freak in the village."

A tired village guard grumbled, struggling to stay awake, despite the definitely racist muttering of the guard besides him, Mason just ignored his partner beside him.

It's already in the middle of the night and even he struggled to keep his eyes opened.

Tapping a finger to the center of his forehead, he started sending a gentle amount of aura.

A useful aura trick he learned escorting various escort missions.

After five seconds of calm aura flow he suddenly discharged a much larger aura to his brain specifically his hypothalamus.

Normally sending a large discharge of aura to the brain is idiotically dangerous, however it's a common technique used by someone mercenaries and huntsman alike. by sending a gentle aura for a few seconds and fortifying your brain, you can send a little discharge to a certain part of your brain to cause a minor adrenaline rush.

It's dangerous to a certain degree for an untrained aura user, even for him. Suddenly shooting a discharge of aura to the brain constantly can instead cause brain damage or even brain necrosis.

Of course [Adrenaline junkie] is one of the most simple Aura techniques that anyone can learn. There's no life threatening danger in the technique if you follow the three set instructions carefully.

"Our shift should be over by now, there should be those two rookies should be taking our places right now."

His partner let out a irritating sigh thinking about the two naive guard.

However in his peripheral vision he caught a shadow walking to a wall.

his expression harden, grabbing his rifle.

"Why in tarnation is there a person still walking in the middle of the night."

Annoyed he looked back at the shadow, and instead found nothing.

"What's wrong?"

Mason ask his partner approaching him.

"I swear there's a person down there- no that person just disappear into thin air!"

The much more wide awake Mason annoyed by his partner's sudden action just said.

"you are likely sleep deprived, I would notice any living person approaching the gate."

Leaving him to his own thought, both the guard never notice a pure white dove looking straight at them.

Successfully, sneaking out of the village undetected.

(Y/n) looked at the marble sized orb on his hand with amazement.

Indeed the white dove was never the grimm true body, It was a Dreadtraxer main core.

"I didn't expect how effective Dreadtraxer ability would do against human, it's actually terrifying how it work."

Despite his sanity has decreasing, he already discovered yesterday that sanity can be recovered by many way. So from his point of view such lost is still minimal at least.
