Should I Become a Villain?-Chapter 97 Facts About Hunter Stats

Lefter, the boy, started to speak in an unknown language, making Radmilo to frowned in confusion.

"Are you a foreigner?" Radmilo asked, still pointing his sword at the boy.

Five minutes had passed but the boy still speak in his language. Radmilo knew a few languages as he joined the IRO. People from all over the world joined the IRO, so Radmilo began to get to know their language. However, he had no idea what language the boy was using.

Meanwhile, Lefter realized Radmilo could not understand his words. He had come to earth using a teleportation item; a gift from a fellow prime mover. But the translator item did not seem to work.

Lefter removed the earpieces and examined them. There was not something strange about the earpiece translator. It seemed the translator system had encountered an error so it could not find it.

He was not the one who made the item, hence he did not what went wrong. Now his situation was not good. Radmilo appeared to consider him a threat.

"You won't speak?" Radmilo raised his eyebrows. He also wanted to communicate with the boy but they did not understand each other.

Lefter touched the tip of Radmilo's sword and shook his head. He was making an effort to tell the man not to attack him.

On the other hand, Radmilo understood Lefter's body language and drew back his sword. He felt that the boy had come to meet him on purpose. However, he was certain they had never met before.

He then looked at the boy from head to toe. The boy had a physique like a human and wore clothes like other children; a shirt and short pants.

The only thing that caught Radmilo's eye was the boy's golden irises. Radmilo did not notice it at first but now he realized it was a little weird.

The boy was also holding the magic earpiece. Looked like his earpiece had a problem.

Radmilo took the magic earpiece and examined it. He immediately noticed that the boy had not activated the earpiece yet.

"You have to press it like this," Radmilo spoke, even though he knew the boy would not understand his words.

He pressed the small button on the magic earpiece and it immediately lit up, giving off a bluish light.

Lefter blinked as he stared at the blue light. Then, he took his magic earpiece from Radmilo's hand and put it back in his ear.

"Test, test," he spoke and the magic earpiece translated his language automatically.

"Ah, it's a translator item," Radmilo remembered he had a translator item, but decided to keep it in his inventory because he realized the boy did not speak human language. "Are you an alien or something?"

Lefter thought a moment before responding. "Well, most humans call me an alien. You can call me that way if you want."

"So, why would an alien like you come to earth to meet me?" Radmilo gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to attack Lefter if the boy acted strangely.

"I am... Um, your master?"

"Pardon me?"

"You don't seem to like my choice of words," Lefter considered what he would say to keep Radmilo from getting angry. "I arranged for Clem to meet you. You had talked to him, right?"

Radmilo nodded in response. If the boy knew Clem, then it meant he also knew about the outside world. He did not know the true identity of the boy. It could be if he was a new type of monster.

Moments later, the boy spoke about something that Radmilo did not expect.

"I am Lefter, a prime mover. You must already know what a prime mover is. I am the one who gave you the power to control time. When you experience an awakening, you receive a notification of approval. It is a contract if you read it carefully."

Radmilo did not expect the prime mover to come to earth to meet him this fast. He thought prime movers just stayed in their world and were busy with their business.

"The reason I came here was to talk about your strength," Lefter kept on. "You have returned to the past. This time, you can't lose. I have bet a lot on you."

Hearing this, Radmilo immediately snorted while rolling his eyes. "I will not be defeated by anyone not because this is your request, but because it is my choice."

"Yeah, whatever. I don't care what you do. But you have to win! I don't want you to act like an idiot as you did in your previous life."

"I'm not an idiot. I'm just taking advantage of the situation. After all, I can always go back in time and fix things."

Lefter glared at Radmilo. "That was your biggest mistake! You acted carelessly because you thought you could always turn back time. Don't you think what happens if your power stops functioning?"

"Take it easy, boy. I'm already aware of that. All this time I have also used my last skill carefully. But what I said is true, right? You gave me the power to control time. Other people would do the same if they is me."

Radmilo put his sword back in his inventory because he was sure that Lefter would not attack him. It seemed the boy only intended to warn him not to act stupid.

Meanwhile, Lefter could only control his breathing because Radmilo's response slightly triggered his emotions.

"I can't tell you much because I have to follow the rules. But you have to be careful wherever and with everyone you meet. Even if you go back in time, it's useless if you change the future too much."

"We share the same brain cells in that one," Radmilo smirked. "I realized there's someone bigger than me at IRO. Hector is one of them. I'm sure a lot of prime movers are betting on him."

Lefter was happy because he did not have to explain in detail. It turned out that Radmilo was not difficult to communicate with.

"Actually, several prime movers have already descended to earth to meet their contractors. It's not an offense as long as they don't cross a certain point. I didn't come to see you in your previous life, thinking that you were a smart human and didn't need my guidance."

Hearing something interesting, Radmilo rubbed his chin. "Are you trying to say you came because I'm not smart?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe I should lower your intelligence on your stats."

"Huh? You are the one controlling my stats?"

"Of course. All prime movers manage their contractor's stats. My criteria for achieving an S in Durabilty are different from those of other prime movers."

Radmilo listened seriously. To be honest, he was a little surprised because he thought the stats were raised automatically by the system. Stats were one of the determining hunters' ranks from the Guild Union.

Rank was determined by how often hunter raids. If a hunter had completed a lot of raids and their win percentage was high, then they would have high points too.

After analyzing the results of the raid, the Guild Union would ask the hunters to do a physical test. It was the final decider. Guild Union would test the strength, dexterity, health, and durability of the hunters.

The physical test was considered a difficult test. Many hunters did not reach A or S levels and protested. They claimed the Guild Union was manipulating the data because the stats in their system indicated that they had reached level A.

"I think everyone's stats are set by the system," Radmilo finally said something. "Well, that's only natural since some prime movers don't see their contractors."

Lefter nodded several times. "You are right. They let misunderstandings happen because it's fun. Some prime movers deliberately don't raise their contractor's stats so the humans will train harder." 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

"Then, why did you raise some of my stats to S? Am I really at that level?"

"I think our conversation is going to be very long. How about you finish your business first and head to a more comfortable place?"

Radmilo glanced around. He agreed with Lefter's words. They were in front of the dungeon now. This was not a good place to talk about important matters.

"Fine. But I still have a few dungeons to clear. Do you mind waiting?"

Lefter shook his head. "I like to wait. Since I have nowhere else to go, I will follow you."

"I will use my power to go to the next dungeon. Can you follow me?"

"I can use my power within a certain time limit. And I think I can keep up with you."

A moment after that, Radmilo used the <Speed Up> skill and Lefter followed behind him. They arrived at a supermarket that had been unused since it was turned into a dungeon.

Radmilo opened the iron gate and entered the dungeon with Lefter.
