The Hero of Shadow Hunter (English)

70

Back in front of the gate, several people looked impatient waiting for Izuku to come out. The gathered teachers did not divert their attention from the gate. Even though they were worried, they didn't show it too much on the surface.

The headmaster also approached the Hunters who looked relaxed despite the situation they were in.

" Hunter-san, how long does a rescue usually take? "

" Well, it depends on how big the dungeon is behind the gate, but it will take at least half an hour to an hour. "

" Can we trust the vice guild master on this? "

" Don't worry, our vice guild master has the best search abilities among us, he will find the child quickly. "

" but it's been more than 30 minutes "

" Yeah, I admit he seemed to take a little too long in there, but I'm sure he has a good reason for that. "

Not long after their conversation ended, a silhouette could be seen from behind the gate. The people there were a little wary of the appearance of the silhouette, but since the Hunters seemed to relax and instead smiled, they lowered their guard.

The silhouette finally revealed his figure. Izuku walked while carrying the unconscious Shinso on his back from the exit gate. He had indeed felt the presence of many people before leaving and took a quick look at his surroundings. He then approached Shimizu and handed Shinso to her.

People who saw them quickly gathered around them. Moreover, the headmaster also immediately approached Izuku.

" vice guild master, how's his condition?"

" He's fine, he's just unconscious from exhaustion. "

" what a relief "

" But, what took you so long leader? if it was you, you should have come out 10 minutes ago. "

" Well, I watched him fight a while before coming back. "

" Aren't you helping him? "

" I could, but he was able to finish his fight all by himself without me helping, I almost didn't do anything while inside. "

" So you're saying it was in vain for you to destroy the gate barrier? "

" Not really, there are still some monsters roaming around, and I can also witness his abilities firsthand. "

" I see, then this child... "

"yes, he has officially become an awakened "

" Then will he also become a Hunter? "

Izuku turned to look at the principal who seemed to look worried. Judging from his question, he seemed to have heard the explanation from Shimizu or perhaps Toya.

" It seems like my colleagues have explained. "

" Yes, more or less "

" As for whether he will become a Hunter or not, the decision is completely in his hands. We can't force him if he doesn't want to. As you know, the work of Hunters risks their lives in the dungeon, I can't force him to do that, even though he is still a high school student. Some guilds might offer him to become a Hunter, but the decision is still up to him. "

The teachers were silent for a moment looking at Izuku. They were a little sad to see Izuku talking about Shinso even though he was still the same age as him. Even his colleagues felt the same way.

" Alright, now that everything is settled, we should take Shinso-kun to the hospital, I'll explain the situation to him when he wakes up. "

" Sure, let's change locations, there's something I also want to discuss with the deputy guild master. "
