The Absolute beast Tamer-Chapter 64: RECRUITERS (2)

Kane: "Ahem!!"

Ron: "Yes, ahh, so that’s how you received this card."

Alan: "Pretty much, yeah."

Ron: "Well, we have a small inquiry, just a couple of questions for you to answer. There will be a small background check that will be done after. When you clear the background check, we can proceed from there."

Alan: "Please ask."

Ron: "Your name is Alan Ortex, you are 16 years old, and you have no affiliation with specific organizations, right?"

Alan: "Yes, I am an independent beast tamer."

Ron: "When was your Awakening?"

Alan: "8 months ago"

Ron: "According to the information reflected here on my terminal, you are from a family of three, right? A single mother and a younger sister?"

Alan: "Yes."

Kane: "I noticed that the house is empty. Is your family out?"

Alan: "As I will be recruited, I did not want them to stay here alone in the house, so they went to live with a friend’s family."

Ron: "How many contracts did you form?"

Alan: "I just contracted my third partner 3 days ago."

Ron: "Are you not scared of the financial burden of having many partners early on in your journey as a beast tamer?"

Alan: "I only contracted my second and third partners a month ago because I reached the point where I have ample resources."

Kane: "Can you tell us about the bandage around your eyes?"

Ron: "It’s called fashion, something people your age won’t understand, Kane."

Alan: "During the incident with the heretics, a small accident happened where I lost my sight. I was told by the doctors that it’s a wait-and-see situation, so for now I’m practically blind."

Ron: "What!! Was that before or after you received the card?"

Alan: "before"

The expressions on the faces of the two were full of surprise looking at the extremely composed teenager in front of them who was talking about his lost sight as if it was someone else’s problem.

Ron: "Okay, One last thing before I initiate the background check through the terminal: at what stage are you in now?

Alan: "5th stage"

Ron, Kane: "What!!!!!"

Even the stoic Kane could not keep his calm anymore, as if they had listened to some kind of practical joke.

Raising his hand, Kane materialized a small axe, throwing it at Alan within a split second.

Only for Kane and Ron to feel a cold sensation tickling their necks as they saw two daggers held firmly against their necks.

Alan disappeared like a ghost and appeared right behind them with his two daggers ready to slash both their necks.

Alan: "That sofa was my mom’s favorite. What the hell are you going to do about it?"

A terrifying killing intent radiated from him and filled the whole house, sending chills through the spine of both Ron and Kane.

Ron: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, I apologize for my friend. He is just too straightforward. We will pay for the damage."

Both the daggers on their necks disappeared as Alan walked back to the sofa, taking the small axe that planted itself in it and throwing it back at Kane.

Kane: "I apologize; I just did it to confirm what you said. A 16-year-old 5th-stage beastmaster is no joke matter. Even those elite from the highest noble families and clans who are specifically nurtured from a young age will find it hard to achieve what you achieved on your own."

Ron: "Especially when you have to prepare all your resources, I can now understand how you received this card."

Alan: "Is this card somewhat special?"

Kane: "We can’t say much, but I can tell you that for all recruiters seeing this card Don’t happen every year or even every few years; take us, for example. This is the first time we saw such a card, and we have been recruiting for 5 years now."

Alan nodded his head as he understood how valuable this card is.

Ron: "Okay, the initial background check has been completed, and you are in the green."

Alan: "Did you finish it just like that?"

Ron: "Yeah, the initial background check can show us almost all events that happened in your life, all information registered about you in any place. What kind of affiliation do you have, or where did you and whom did you work for?"

Kane: "But that’s only the initial background check; after you come in, there will be multiple checks to ensure that you are a fit recruit."

Ron: "Now, let’s get down to business."

Kane: "Before that, I have to ask you. Are you sure that you want to join? This is not something that you walk into halfheartedly; you have to know that you might die during the initial training, sometimes even facing much worse fate than death itself, so please tell me. Are you sure?

Kane interrupted Ron as he looked straight into Alan’s eyes, giving him what seemed like a final warning before they proceeded any further.

Alan: "I am sure; thank you for the warning, but this is my path."

Kane, who heard the firm voice that show the ultimate determination coming from the 16 years old, went back to his silence as he closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa.

Ron: "Sorry for my friend; it’s not as grim as he described, but joining is no joke, especially for someone your age. We have never recruited someone who is under 18 years old before, so I can’t blame my partner for warning you."

Alan: "I understand his concern; thank you."

Ron: "Good, let’s get down to business. You will take this card, and you will visit this location within 3 days. You have to be there. Your initial recruitment is done; before you ask, we cannot give you any information as you will know along the way. The location is in Fam City, which is a one-day flight away from here, so you do not have much time."

Alan: "Are you not coming with me?"

Ron: "No, we need to move to our next recruitment, so you will go alone. Once you reach the designated location, you will present your card, and they will know what to do. It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Alan, and we hope to see you as our brother in arms again in the future."

Kane: "Kid, you have to be careful with every step you take from now on, and always know that your life depends on it. If you don’t want to leave your mother and sister alone in the world, you have to survive."

Ron: "Ahem, we will take our leave now; thank you for your hospitality."

Alan: "You’re welcome."

Standing at the entrance as he watched both of them leave and disappear from his view, Alen went back to get ready and book the fastest flight possible to Fam City.

…..

Ron: "Why are you speaking a lot today, talking like a grim reaper to the kid?"

Kane: "You saw how he evaded my axe and appeared right behind us without us even noticing anything with daggers to our necks. This is not something an ordinary 16-year-old will ever hope to do."

Ron: "Especially that killing intent; it terrified me to the bones. I can’t even tell how he managed to appear right behind us without us noticing. If it was a true fight, we would have been dead, and he is two stages lower than us both. Such a terrifying talent is actually hidden here in this small town. I can understand why the Lord number gave him his card."

Kane: "Yes, and that’s why he needs to be careful with such a terrifying talent. The more he pushes forward, the more pressure and resistance will face him in the future. He can be called a prodigy. Who stands above genius? But do you know who dies the fastest in the initiation period? It is those geniuses; just taking his young age is already terrifying. When those devils find out about him, they will definitely scramble to mold this genius. Many times they break them under the pretense of molding them. I just hope he stays alive."

Ron: "Other than the terrifying killing aura, I really like the kids, and I do hope so. Let’s go; we need to get to our second location in 3 days."

Kane: "Mmm."

.....

Walking through the streets of Fan City, Alan looked at his terminal to confirm the location, as he saw that it pointed at an old hardware store.

After confirming multiple times, he went inside.

The store was messy with gadgets and broken appliances all over the place.

On the counter, an old man with a messy and greasy appearance was sleeping and snoring out loud.

Alan: "Excuse me, Elder, I have been told to come here."

The old man opened his eyes as he looked extremely drowsy, eyeing Alan from head to toe.

Greasy Elder: "We can’t take you like this; you have been marked"

Alan was shocked as he almost did not understand what the elder meant, only for him to remember The creepy snake tattoo that Florence gifted him at the black market.

Greasy Elder: "Do you have your recruitment invitation"

Alan: "I was told to give you this card"

The moment Alan took the card out the lazy expression on the greasy Elder vanished without a trace as he took the card and looked at it deeply.

Greasy Elder: "hahahahahahahaha, so it’s like this, interesting! What is your name"

Alan: "My name is.."

Greasy Elder: "From now on you will not say your name to anyone and will not disclose any information about yourself is that clear"

Alan: "Yes, Elder."

Greasy Elder: "Now let’s get you ready, but before that, let’s get rid of this filthy tracker on your body."

With a gentle expression on his face He pushed his hand out and grabbed Alan’s shoulder, only for Alan to feel a scalding and electric sensation pass through his body, causing him an unimaginable pain.

Alan: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

The last thing that Alan saw before losing his consciousness was the playful expression on the greasy elder’s face.
