Chapter 42: ARRIVAL
Me and Miriam was now waiting for Kyle, we are in the NAIA. Miriam was watching the people, foreigners or local, walking out the gate.
"... found him. "
"Huh, where?... That's him!! Hey! Kyle we are here!"
Miriam shouted and people look at her. Someone even tried to take a picture, yes we are famous now. I guess a lot of people saw the news.
"Miriam lower your voice. I remembered your poker face last night, why don't you do that at least sometimes? You looked mature at that time."
I said, I heard the sound of clicking of camera.... I'm not accustomed to this kind of treatment.
"hah, this and that were different. This is my normal face. And that was my business face"
"Business?"
She nodded and crossed her arms.
"I graduated in Business Administration. Sometimes I help my family in running our business. "
When she said business, the first thing that entered my mind was Ai Biyu's offer... And aside from that, I remember that there's something I detected yesterday.
"Ah, I see.... Hey, did you felt the man who's hiding inside the room with Ai Biyu? I can't detect his presence. I guess he's a stealth type. Perhaps you saw him by using your Clairvoyance."
"Oh, that. Of course! He is an Asian. He's wearing a mask so I can't identify his gender. He used some kind of Shadow Merge thingy"
She smirked showing that I must praise her.
"You're amazing Miriam, as expected of you. You never disappoint us when it comes to this kind of thing. "
I scratch my head. I know that you're the best person to talk when it comes to scouting.
She giggled and wave her hand.
"Hehehe. No, don't flatter me. I just saw him appearing when we left the building. He talked to Ai Biyu, as for what it is, I don't know. "

"Damn right. You're not just beautiful, you're talented too!"
"Hehe."
While holding his bag, Kyle walked and stopped in our location. Behind him, I saw a man who has a reddish brown hair.
Kyle greeted us with his "kuku" laugh.
"What's up? Did something happen? "
"We are doing fine, nothing happens. By the way, who's that?"
I asked him. I found it a miracle that Kyle had a friend. He's a living demon.
"This is Christian Rothschild. My business partner"
Your business partner, huh. So we were not part of that business, I guess. As for the name Christian... it does ring a bell. Why do I remember that hobgoblin. Eh? Did I forgot something?.... Well, if I forgot it, then it's not important.
" I know what you're thinking. Yes, my business partner. You're just my workers, my slave to be exact. You don't have the rights to question my decision, understand?"
"Yes, yes ~ boss"
I said.
Christian came in and greet us.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Christian. Kyle told me about the two of you"
Miriam looked at her head to toe, her forehead furrowed.
"Pardon me, but what did Kyle promise to you? You see, this friend of ours will use gun just to get what he wants. I hope you're not threatened or blackmailed."
Good question, Miriam. I'm actually curious about that.
"Hahaha fortunately no he's not. He promised me that he will give me the strongest Skill Book....? After some thoughts, I accept his term to be my business partner. "
"You agreed easily? "
"About that. We will become an official partner after I receive the Skill Book. For now, its a temporary contract. "
He shook his head and explained it further.
Speaking of Skill Book.

"Oy Kyle, I got this Two Skill Book but I can't use it. The system says, not compatible. What does it mean?"
"Oh really? Two weeks, we didn't see each other in two weeks and now you're saying you received a Skill Books? Two at that. Tell me, did you have an Item that has Increased Luck effect? Or did you do good things in your past life?"
He shrugged saying that he found it odd.
"No, I don't have any Item like that. As for my past life, I don't know. Should I ask for a past regression therapy? "
"Never mind, let's get out of here. We can't talk here, it's too noisy. Is this really like this in your country? "
I just chuckle.
I can't tell him that NAIA was once called as the worst airport of the world... well not that I care.
We left the place, some people tried to asked about selfie but Kyle gave them deadly glare.

" It's hard to find a compatible Skill Book, in fact it's impossible. Especially this time, where Skill Book is in demand. Wealthy people were buying them like crazy. The greater the effect, the higher the price. You can sell them in 1 million for minimum price."
"... Pesos?"
"Dollars. 1 Million Dollars, they will buy it quickly"
"I'll think about that. "
"Okay... and what do you want? I bet you want to build a Guild. "
" Miriam. That thing can wait. For now, our priority is to increase our strength and evolve our skills. "
"Eh! Why!? Why is that!? Can't we just kill monsters and level up? I don't want to train with you. You're a living demon! "
"Miriam if you meet any Demon, I swear you will know that I'm kinder than them. About the training, I'm sorry, but we need to. How's your Skill? Can your Clairvoyance monitor this whole country? Philippines? Actually, I have a job for you. "
"What!!? That's impossible!! I can only use it in a whole province! That's my maximum!!"
"Sigh, how about you Mikael? The Ranking Hall always reward an Evolution Stone to the Rank 1. I believe you already have three skills. "
"How did you know that!? Why can't we hide anything when it comes to you. You know many things... brr my goosebumps! Anyway, since I have three skills now I guess I don't have any reason to join your training. I'm stronge-"
"You're not exempted"
"What did I say? Of course I'll train! "
"You too Christian. If you're serious to be Hunter I advise you to join this training. No. You need to, I'll never give you the Book if you're not ready. "
" Me too?... Okay. "
"Hey Kyle, before this training start. I need to go to Laguna. "
"Do you have a wide place there? "
"Yes.... Gulp. Why are you asking? "
"Good. We're coming, we will train there. "
"....."
[Note: I'm just trying to write a scene where it's pure dialogue. What do you think? Is it readable?]

Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers.

He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.
