Chapter 639 A strugling member
In the town of Slough, despite numerous improvements, there were still places where one could hide from others. In the alleyway behind a few restaurants, standing at the back was a single dark-skinned boy. His arms were wrapped from his knuckles all the way to his elbow, while he wore the black and gold clothing of his gang. His eyes were closed as he stood alone in the alleyway.
He wasn't letting anything distract him, unlike the times before he had entered the alleyway. The echoes of noise from moving animals or the sound of passing vehicles, as well as the rancid smell from leftover food, used to fill his head every time he came here in the past. But now, he was only focusing on one thing.
There was plenty of rubbish and debris on the ground, including leaves that had flown in. They were light, and slowly they started to lift in the air as if being carried. Rather than swaying around, they were slowly levitating in place. The leaves that were moving were only around the boy while the rest just rustled slightly across the floor. The moment Innu opened his eyes, the leaves started to fall to the floor being carried by the air.
Reaching from his back, he grabbed the handle of the axe and hurled it in the air. It was a strong, powerful throw. The axe had lit up slightly as he had placed his energy inside. It was slicing through the air with ease and going at a fast speed.
In the alleyway, on the wall that was around twenty meters away, there were drawn targets, from red spray paint. Next to the markings, there were several chips in the brickwork. As the axe flew straight, it started to veer slightly to the right and landed right in the center of the target.
Clenching his fists, his whole body was shaking as he jumped up in the air. "I did it, I finally did it!" Innu cheered for himself.
The reason for his absence from home and from the Wolf's Pool Club was because of this. After his teacher had left, showing him his strange powers, Innu was relentless in his training.
Innu was smiling to himself as he imagined the situation, and with great timing, he had received a text.
[This is Blake. It looks like there is a meeting, and they want you to come as well. This will be good to introduce you to us and also allow you to pick some equipment for yourself as well.]
[Warning, they might ask us to go somewhere. You are still an apprentice, but at times when they really need people, they ask the apprentices as well. So it's best if you make some excuse to the others that you might be away for a while.]
The text ended there, and it looked like Innu would be going to one of the Hunter's Association bases earlier than he thought.
"I guess it should be okay. Things have been quiet in Slough for a while, so it might be the perfect time. I just hope no Howler's stuff happens while I'm doing my Altered Hunter stuff. Living a double life is already tiring." Innu thought.
He took a deep breath and looked around the alleyway, taking in the familiar surroundings. He knew that this was only the beginning of his journey and that there was still so much more to learn. But for now, he had to focus on the task at hand and prepare for the upcoming meeting. With a determined expression on his face, Innu headed out of the alleyway, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
