Chapter 79 Ideal and Reality

Part 1

It was one year ago when éclair Gladys first met the strongest Hunter.

Count Gladys lineage is a military one and among them they have protected the Imperial Capital for the longest period.

His knights are famous for their strength and have protected for a long time the Zebrudia Empire against other nations, monsters and Phantoms.

The Empire became one of the greatest powers by incorporating Treasure Hunters in their strength. But this is why, they must be prepared in case of an emergency. That is a rule in the Gladys House.

The strongest force in the Empire is not the Knight Order but the Hunters.

Absorbing Mana Material is the best way to strengthens human basic ability. No matter how hard the Knights Order trained to improve their skills to defend their territory, against a Hunter who constantly challenges Shrine, there will obviously have a difference in their strength.

For Gladys who is proud to be the Empire’s sword, High-Level Hunters are a threat that can’t be defeated even if he mobilizes the Knight Order. They will be like insects facing against a lion... This is why they are a subject of caution.

His contempt against Hunters cause Gladys to look at Hunters harsher than with other nobles. There are many Empire noble who look down on Hunters and call them gold digger, but the Gladys House are looking at them particularly harder.

He always has an extraordinary sense of opposition against us.

éclair herself have started to wield her sword since she was a child and was instructed by famous swordsmen in order to not lose against Hunters. Although she is always with guards, as éclair regularly dive into Shrines, her ability is quite high for a child.

Even for those Gladys, there is one Hunter that even they acknowledge... It is the Rodin House.

The story of Rodin House was told over and over.

A House of Treasure Hunter who had once made a great achievement in Zebrudia allowing them to claim the name of Hero.

It has been hundreds of years since the Imperial Capital was built. Zebrudia is now called as the holy land of Treasure Hunter but they are still standing in the top among all the Hunters in there, they are Zebrudia’s proud soldiers.

Despite being a Treasure Hunter, they got a nobility title, kept Zebrudia safe for a long period of time and has devoted to its development, just like Gladys House. In the end, Rodin has declined his title but there is no doubt that they are one of us.

Whenever Gladys talks about Hunters, his name always come up.

Rodin has been known for their versality for generation, but the next generation head is particularly excellent, even though he is still young he got himself an Alias and has been conquering certified High-Level Shrine one after another. His strength overwhelms other Hunters and his name will eventually be remain in the history as a Hero.

Every time she heard his story, éclair is all excited to know about what kind of person he was.

In truth, when éclair has actually met Ark Rodin, the expectation she held for him has all been blown away.

The residence of Count Gladys was a large mansion surrounded by a fence.

Over ten knights stood in front of the gate with a large crest of the Gladys House.

They are probably private soldiers from the Gladys House, when the knights glanced at me, they frown and click their tongue. The atmosphere they have won’t make it strange if they pulled out their swords now. If I haven’t spoken with Eva to contact them in advance, I would have probably been arrested immediately.

I have rarely been in direct contact with Gladys but apparently it is really true that they hate Hunters.

A man with a dark and strong skin seems to be the leader, he looks at me and squint.

“We will take your weapons. Take them out.”

“... Eh...... We don’t have any...”

“......”

You will understand if you look at us.

The leader grimaces and make a quick body check to make sure that I really don’t have anything and finally he put a bracelet on my wrist.

It is a bracelet that hinder the use of your magic power and limits the activation of your magic. Of course, as I can’t use magic, it doesn’t matter to me.

The leader groans roughly at me who was still calm.

“In this state and still have your composure... Don’t underestimate us. You are just a Hunter, if you do anything strange, I will immediately cut you off.”

... Are you a mountain bandit or something? All I wanted is just to talk in good faith...

I am a little tense. I am used to being threatened but it doesn’t mean that I like to always being threatened.

I sigh and point at Sytry who is next to me and is still making a gentle smile.

“Ah, Sytry is a girl so I want you to call a woman to do a body check.”
