After another a month of training, Dekar starts to confess to the 10 girls about Jack, Lee and Dekar being one because the 10 girls are already starting cultivating Nen.

And it would be hard to hide ten to twenty clone studying at the Vermilion Manor along with them...

Lee also recruits a group made of 60 people for cultivating herbs from the small village far from the Meteor city, with fair salary and place to stay.

But because of the fair treatment of Lee to them, they decided to stay here, so its become more like relocating a small village...

Not long ago Jack bought another two lots in different places.

And 'Going Merry' Restaurant and 'Going Merry Hospital are established in Meteor City,

Making it near to each other will be troublesome...

Because Hospital is free while the restaurant is not...

The rules of Hospital is simple

So long as its possible to cure with their current technology it would be free... if not, well sorry for them...

The Restaurant starting to be famous for its rare style of cooking which Dekar learn from other World,

Because of this, Many people start to visit Meteor City.

Since the 10 girls are already cultivating Nen they can easily protect the establishment against some random hoodlums, besides Lee is there to supervise the Restaurant while Jack is in the Hospital

2 Months since the Going Merry establishment

Dekar gives them a task...

To get two children each if possible from the slum...

After 3 days in the Vermilion Manor

There's a group of children in Dekar front along with the 10 girls...

"Oni-chan, what are you going to do with them?" Topit while Dekar is stroking her hair...

"Well... They are going to be your apprentices... and from now on you will going to take care of them" Dekar smile at them

""""What!"""""

The 10 girls shout in synch because they didn't expect that they are the one who will be responsible for them...

"Apprentices?" Nim'ra

"Um... you're going to teach them about medicine and cooking, but first of all good 'Manners'" Dekar

"Can we get more children?" Posam excitedly said but...

"No" Dekar

Hearing the answer of Dekar she starting to understand why not...

"Why?" Pat'ra

"Right, there are many children there who still need a hand" Sai

"Can I get the mother and child back there?" Walda

The ten girls start to speak... since they are also from slum they know that many children except for them that suffering injustice from how things work there...

"If we get them all, what do you think will happen?" Dekar smile at them

"That... everything we plan.... will surely collapse" Posam start to clench her fist, as the leader of the group of the girls and the eldest here she knew that they can't sustain it...

Then the other 9 girls look down...

"Right, we can't help everyone, that is the reality, but we don't have to help everyone, just helping the best we can is enough... as of now our group can add more 20 children, and that is because you ten will be in charge of them" Dekar smile

"We can only help a few... for now... but if we grow up and become capable... we can help more children, right?" Topit straightly look at the eyes of Dekar

"Right, if you want to help more children, the first thing you need to remember is to have the ability to do so" Dekar

"If I get stronger... Can I help more children like us?..." Posam look straight to Dekar

Dekar put Topit in his side and goes to the front of Posam and to pat her head...

"Strength is not everything... but if you have it, who can stop you to do what you want?" Dekar smiling at him

Many of them want to help more but they also understand that as of now... they can't... they don't have that ability...

Which is become their driving motivation

To be more capable... to get stronger...

After another year since they met Machi and other...

C.C is already 11

While Dekar is already 14

The group of girls starts to cultivate Nen for 2 years now

This year they start to look for clues about Hunter Exam and not long ago they get an info that in the small secluded area not far away from the Meteor City, there is a place where some adventurer goes but no one was able to return.

Since it was near the Meteor City they decided to visit it.

But...

At the night outside the Vermilion Manor before they leave and look for Hunter Exam related news

An unexpected intruder arrived...

Lee and Jack plan to intercept it but knowing some clue about who is it...

Dekar decided to go...

Suddenly Dekar appears in the front of the intruder...

"Yo! it's cold here outside, wanna talk inside?" Dekar smile

"Interesting..." A man silhouette appears in the darkness

...

...

...

At the morning

The group of girls along with C.C are talking worriedly because the half of Vermilion Manor is destroyed without them knowing...

"Hey, what just happen here?" Posam

"Do you have an idea Nee-chan?" Pat'ra look at C.C

"I'm not sure too" C.C

Because of the 'Character Link Function' C.C know what happen but she didn't say it to the group of girls and just wait for Dekar.

"How about you, sister Nim'ra?" Pat'ra

"You wake up earlier than me" Nim'ra

Everyone starts to think of different possibilities but the most reasonable is ...

"Its look like a fight is happened last night without us knowing" Yamsi

"Nichan!" Topit shout when she saw Dekar going down the stair then everyone becomes silent

"Good morning" Dekar simply smile then goes directly to the kitchen which is already without a ceiling or walling...

Everyone gawked because it Dekar acts naturally

Like nothing happens...

Seeing their reaction makes Dekar grin

"Is there a problem?" Dekar

""""What!""""

Everyone shout in synch

Topit goes to the front of Dekar while frowning

"Nichan, don't you see that your Manor is destroyed?" Topit ask with reprimanding tone

"Does little topit hate me now?" Dekar act like suffering from injustice then kneel to the ground while hugging Topit

"Sorry Nichan, it's your fault for acting innocent Tee~hee~hee~~" Topit realize her tone and start stroking the hair of Dekar

"Don't tell me you also didn't know what happens here?" C.C smile

"... A bad guy came last night and we play... a little" Dekar

"Half of the Manor is destroyed... and you play a little?" C.C smile

"Why we didn't hear anything?" Posam

"With the look of it... it seems like your fight is quite... intense" Nim'ra

"I ask the bad guys not to be noisy so you can all sleep sound" Dekar smile

"It seems like it's not a bad guy at all" Topit said innocently

Then everyone smile.

Since Dekar doesn't seem like want to explain it and everybody is okay, they didn't question it anymore,

That day Dekar and C.C leave Meteor City to take Hunter Exam...

The first destination is the secluded village near in the Meteor City where rumors said that no one is able to return back

While they are walking in some forest

"This place is creepy isn't?" C.C

Well, besides the ambiance is same from some horror film, she also sensed that there are 6 people secretly watching them

"Yeah, but since you're here, it is the best place in this World pfft*!.." Dekar didn't mind it too much

"How can I act like a witch if you keep acting like this.. sigh" C.C

"With your cuteness overload, even the God itself will not think that you're witch" Dekar happily smile

Then Dekar start humming again which make C.C twitch her eyebrow...

When they reach the entrance of secluded village which looks like a desolated place....

"Hello, Welcome to Village of Torara may I know who and why you're here?" A strange old woman suddenly appears in their front...

"Hello, I am Dekar and this is my little Queen C.C, we are here for Hunter Exam" Dekar said directly their objectives

"That... I'm sorry... its just rumor that spread since the Hunter Exam Start" Old Woman

"Don't worry granny, we don't believe rumors" Dekar smile

"So, why you're here?" Granny and look curiously at them

"It's because it's not a rumor.... right?" Dekar smile

"Sigh*!, Everyone saying it and forcing us to tell about it... mind if you tell me why you think it's not a rumor?" Granny

"First there's a rumor that no one returns? Isn't too suspicious how that kind of rumor even starts?

Second, when we enter the forest there 6 people hiding, one woman with a Ponytail right?

Third, we do not even enter the village yet and here you are blocking us? If we return back would you try to kill us... by the beast in the path we take before?

Fourth, if it's not related to Hunter Exam, it doesn't matter... we will also come here to check whats going on because my family is living not far from here" Dekar

Because he can clearly feel that their way back now is currently full of the beast, besides he can't let a possible threat near in his place...

"Fifth stop playing with us, you're not really a Granny, You're the ponytail girl earlier isn't?" Dekar grin

Hearing the words of Dekar, the five people hiding start to draw their weapon...

"Be careful about what you're trying to play, lay a finger with my little Queen... I might not forgive you" Dekar said smilingly but he starts to spread murderous aura focus on the body of the Granny in their front...

Feeling the intense murderous aura from the body of Dekar the granny start to froze from fear while having a cold sweat all over her body...

It was only for 3 seconds but the Granny starts to have a not good premonition...

She starts to remove her mask and show a young woman who looks like around 27

"Ara ara ~~ seems like we have a good customer today" The woman chuckling...

"Its ok, just don't hurt my little Queen here and we're good" Dekar return to his normal tone

"You're a good at observing and show a confidence in your skill, but too much confidence will kill you in the future so you better control your self, the little girl... I can't say because she just stands there..." The woman starts analyzing them...

"If she moves, you will tell us even the color of your underwear so... it best that she didn't move yet, for your sake" Dekar start to laugh

"Y..you.." The woman seems like want to argue with Dekar but manage to get back to ger composure before she explodes

"Nifa, Moto send them to the next place" The woman calls the two hidden people in the grass and lead them...

While they are walking away

A man show in the back of the Woman who disguise in Granny

"That boy.. seems really interesting" The woman

"Why?" Man

"His normal aura felt warm and relaxing... Even I was attracted but.... his murderous aura.. to manifest such Murderous aura that level for a less than 15 years old boy? where did he come from?" The Woman while wondering

"Isn't it too exaggerating" the man

"No, if you lay a finger to the little girl. we are all going to..." The woman shivered and scared when she thinks about the 3-second Dekar show his murderous aura...

There's only one word she can describe the feeling

"Death..."

Dekar and C.C sail a small boat with the two as their guide, after 4 hours of sailing, they see a ship boat...

It was already night when they reach the ship boat

The ship looks like a pirate ship which is going to sink at any moment.

Many people who want to take Hunter Exam were also there looking at Dekar and C.C.

While they are climbing the ship, the two who lead them leave a message before they left...

"In the part of the ocean, you will go... I hope that you don't meet the Destruction Whale that destroyed ship just to eat Human Flesh as its favorite food"

This information is already spread all over the ship but no one cares about it...

Not long ago...

"Time limit arrived, we will sail now, it will take four days to reach the next Island!" The Captain of the ship said

On the ship...

'Such a young one trying to be a Hunter?'

'do they think its a joke? '

'Are you kidding us'

At first many people looking full of disdain to Dekar and C.C...

Until the sail begins...

On the first day, around three to five start to puke...

The second day, even without a storm, a big wave keep crushing ship wish makes the 40% of the people in the ship looks like can't hold on anymore and start to puking...

The third day, the intensity of the wave increase once again and because of the harsh environment and whats more... out of stock of food and water, many starts to complain to the Captain of the ship

But that day the Captain of the ship throws a person in the middle of the ocean, which makes all those who want to complain shut there mouth

While everyone is puking and despair because of hunger and thirst... Dekar and C.C in a net inside the cabin, hugging each other and eating Pizza happily... there's a time that they go out of the cabin but only to brush their teeth then goes to hug each other again inside the cabin while they are talking happily...

While watching them like playing on the ship everyone starts to wonder where the fuck the Pizza coming from...

The fourth day, they go out to look for ocean like having a date in a park

"We don't have food and water and yet you are there talking happily?" Captain

"Hunger? Thirsty? its that even matter now? It's already the fourth-day, isn't?" Dekar smile

But those listening to their conversation start to see a light...

Because of their circumstances, they think that this will never end but hearing the words of Dekar they realized that its the last day of the journey

And their face starts to brighten up...

"Right its the fourth-day..." Captain smile

Then

"Bang!"

A loud explosive sound came inside the ship which makes the whole ship shake...

Then one of the crews of the ship shout

"Captain, the engine explodes and a big hole was created, this ship is going to sink!" Crew shout while panicking

Then another crew shout

"Captain whats that!" Crew on the side of the ship is point something at the ocean

Everyone look at the side of the ship and see...

It's a giant shadow under the ocean because of the information that spread this last 4 days, they all subconsciously know what its....

Then its slowly show the part of its head...

"Waaoaoooooooooooaoaoo"

It's a Whale!

Then

"Its the Destruction Whale which is known to destroy ship to eat Human in this side of the sea" Another Crew shout

Then everyone starts to turn pale hearing the information...

"W....we are all going to die!"

"Fuck!... I should just cultivate potato along with my grandmother..."

"ddddd.... destruction whale..."

Everyone start panic

"No, Sir it maybe just a big whale I think it's not the destruction whale!" Another crew shout but still trembling

"CAPTAIN!, we're gonna sink! "

"CAPTAIN! I don't wanna die"

The crew members shout continuously which add tension to all passenger

"Everyone Jump to the whale! OR We are all going to die!" Captain give the order but no one move...

"But that's the Destruction Whale, right?" one of the applicant shout

"We are not sure, maybe is, maybe not, since we are all going to sink we better take our chances now" Captain shout

But no one move

Except

"C.c we will ride a whale!" Dekar shout happily then jump

"Yeah!" C.C and she jump the whale too...

They land on the whale and start to keep jumping up and down, playing like on the top of the whale

"Its flesh... kind of bouncy" C.C start to jump testing the skin texture of the whale

"Right, how about we get a little flesh of it and try to cook?" Dekar

"if you cut the flesh of it now and its go insane, it might throw us to the middle of the sea" C.C

"Indeed... we better not" Dekar awkwardly smile

Then not long ago, the whale goes far away from the ship...

Everyone just watching the event and start to wonder because the ship is not sinking and the Captain of the ship and its crew member start to smile...

"Captain, that two seems like a good candidate for this year" A crew member said with a smile then everyone looks at the crew member speak

"Um... All people here failed the Hunter Exam Qualification, I'm not even sure if you should get another one next year" Captain then he looks at the whale goes far away with a serious face...

"A hunter should have the courage to face the unknown... explore new things... the two kid knew that the Whale doesn't have a bad intention to them and happily jump to it. For me to be a Hunter the one thing you should have is good intuition" Captain smile contentedly

20 Minutes after they left the ship boat and ride with the Whale... they begin to see the island/shore

Dekar get a folded bike from his storage and put his backpack on his front, then carry the folded bike on his back,

When they arrive on the shore, they saw a man who looks like a fisherman sitting on giant stone

"Really? Someone passed from that crazy old man test.." Fisherman full of wonder because he thinks that even he is not going to jump to the back of a whale with the only information is. it could be the Destruction Whale which favorites to eat is the human flesh...

The fisherman stand up and start to walk toward them

After they arrive the shore

"Goodbye Mr. Whale! Thanks to me and my Little Queen" Dekar is happily waving to the whale

"Hmmf I should be your witch..." C.C start to pout because he can't find an opportunity to tease Dekar

"I like to call you my girlfriend, fiance, wife? honey? my love?my sweet.." Dekar

"Stop... fine enough don't choose too cheesy.." C.C start to blush...

Even she wants to be called a witch... Dekar knew she also wants to be a simple girl like everybody else....

"Then it decided, you are my honey pie" Dekar

"Tsk.." C.C

"Pizza pie?" Dekar

"Y...You" C.C

"Just kidding, my little Queen should be enough isn't?" Dekar hug her in his chest while stroking her hair to console her

The fisherman walk to them "Congrats for passing that Oldman test, I'm one of the Navigators, I will lead you to the next examination venue" Navigator

"Navigator?" Dekar

"Um... I will lead you to next venue" Navigator smile and they leave the shore

After chatting for a while with their Navigator they knew that this place is called Zaban City,

After a long time, they reach a high rise building stand and inside is look like some typical restaurant, their Navigator order something to the chef then he lead them to backroom,

In the room there was nothing...

Well, except for the door they walk in, it has only four walls

But after a few seconds

Mechanical sound can be heard*!...

The whole room goes down because the whole room is an elevator when the door open they met a green Beans with black tuxedo...

its really looked like a bean, literally..

"Haha looks, it's like living Beans... Hello Mr.Beans.." Dekar shake his hand happily

"Do we know each other?" Beans wondering because this is the first time he sees Dekar

"No, this is the first time we met, but... with your looks it should be good to call you Mr.Bean, right?" Dekar starts to laugh...

"pfft*!, it seems like you're fond of him" C.C

"No.. it's just nice to see a strange thing in this World isn't? " Dekar

Then Beans congrats them to reach up to this point and give them a number 555 556

After receiving their numbers

"Let's go" Dekar pull the hands of C.C
