Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 29 - 29

Entering the hall, the place was not as she imagined... She imagined it would be more like the anime she saw in her past life, where she would see many people drinking with a mean expression, but to her surprise, it was all very well organized and people were very respectful.

"You two are finally here! Good morning." Jana smiled when she saw Nero and Choko.

"Good morning, Jana, Jair, and Breno," Choko greeted them.

"Good Morning," said Nero.

"Good Morning," Jair and Breno said in unison.

"We are going to the queue to register so we can go to the dungeon," Choko said.

Nero found a sign showing the counter for the registration and exchange queue, and seeing that the queue was empty, she said, "Go, I need to exchange some items and then I'll be with you right away."

"Okay." They didn't think much on what Nero said and quickly agreed.

Nero already knew some basic information, and knew that this was the register that exchanged items for money or goods. Luckily it was empty.

She already learned from Choko that 200 Essence Coins were needed to create a Hunter Card, which is why Nero had already taken the coins out of her inventory.

"Hello beautiful lady, how can I help you?" Arriving at the counter, Nero was met by a middle-aged man with black hair and dark blue clothing.

"Good morning. I want to register to be a hunter," Nero replied.

"200 [Essence Coin] are needed, please," replied the middle-aged man.

Nero nodded, and she handed over two 200 coins [Essence Coin].

Receiving the money, the middle-aged man brought out a blue crystal ball. He said to Nero, "Put your hand on top of the crystal ball. Now close your eyes and manifest your mana."

A flash of dark light emitted from the sphere, which caused those closest to the crystal ball to close their eyes for a few seconds.

Then, on the card the man held in his hand, the words "affinity with black energy" appeared. The middle-aged man was a little surprised but was quick to return to normal and act professionally.

He smiled kindly at Nero when he asked, "What name will the young lady want to be registered on her hunter card?"

"Nero," she answered.

The man nodded and told Nero to sit on a chair and took a picture of her using the card.

After getting Nero to sign some papers and answer some questions, she took the card from him.

"Thank you," she thanked the attendant.

'It was easier than I imagined...' Nero commented in her mind. She imagined it would be much more complicated and take much longer.

Holding the card in her hand, Nero looked at the information on the Hunter Card.

Nero was a little surprised. 'It seems that only my subclass has been analyzed.'

After finishing getting her card, Nero went to the line that Choko and the rest were in.

When Nero arrived, Choko whispered to her when she noticed the perverted looks people were giving toward Nero, "Nero, I understand that you said that these clothes of yours have a good defense, but at least are we going to buy an overcoat you can put on?"

Choko stared fiercely at these perverts, almost to the point of wanting to beat them up. Nero looked at Choko and seeing how worried she was about her, Nero agreed, "Yes, we can go buy some new clothes."

After Nero walked away and stood beside Choko and the rest, a holographic screen opened in front of her.

_ _ _

[Mission: [Hunter card] - Complete!]

[Short bow; +2 agility and +10 strength] has been added to your inventory

40 [Essence Coin] have been added to your inventory.

_ _ _

'This bow will be of great help...' Nero thought.

Leaving the Hunters Association, walking through the streets of Esfin, Nero was still the center of attention. Some cast surprised looks of disbelief and suspicion that it was makeup, and there were also those who looked toward her with lust.

"We are here," motioned Jair.

The group stopped walking. On their left side there was a clothing store. Jana and Choko began dragging Nero into the store. She shook her head helplessly as she was dragged by the two girls. Jair and Breno had no interest in women's clothing so they were looking at some men's clothing while waiting for the girls to finish shopping.

Although the intention was just to buy an overcoat for Nero, the two girls were buying a lot of clothes that they found pleasant.

"That one looked great on you, Nero!" Choko clapped when she saw her wearing a white overcoat with black buttons.

"Okay, I'll take this one," Nero decided and went to the cashier to pay.

"That will be 30 essence coins," said the cashier lady.

Nero took the coins out of her "pocket" (but in truth, she took them out of the inventory) and paid the woman at the checkout.

After leaving the store, although Nero didn't notice as many perverts as she had when she was walking around earlier, she was still a beautiful woman; it was inevitable that she would have other people looking in her direction.

Choko sighed and said to herself, 'At least they don't have those perverted looks any more...'

Arriving in front of the dungeon, a new system screen appeared.

_ _

New Mission: [Conquer the first floor of the rank F Dungeon.]

Isn't it time to show what you're capable of?! Conquer the first floor of the Rank F dungeon.

Objective: Conquer the first floor of the rank F dungeon.

Reward: [Magic Glove] - Rank F

Reward: 100 [Essence Coin].

Looking at this new mission that appeared filled Nero with happiness. The more things she won, the better it would be for her.

Seeing that Nero had stopped, Choko asked her, concerned, "What is the matter, Nero? Feeling bad?"

"Oh..." Nero left her stupor and replied, "It's nothing. I ended up being distracted thinking about something, but it's not a big deal."

Choko sighed with relief, "That is good."

"Thank you for your concern," Nero smiled.

Breno had already gone ahead by going to the cabin that was at the entrance to the dungeon.

"I have already registered our group. Now we just need to show our Hunter card and we can enter," Breno explained.

Jair and Breno were mostly excited. It was the first time that they would be entering a dungeon and the desire to grow as a hunter made them excited.
