PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 A woman who admires the strong

′′Did you say something? ′′ Elaisa said without taking her eyes off the screen she was working on.

′′ I was just a little surprised by the description of my innate ability. ′′ Desmond exclaimed somewhat uncomfortable because of his previous language, he normally does not speak that way unless he is alone.

oh now I see; I can see? ′′ Elaisa seemed to hesitate a bit but she still ended up asking the question.

′′ Sure, here look. ′′ Desmond said as he pointed at the screen.

Elaisa seemed somewhat surprised by the ease with which Desmond revealed her innate ability to him; one should know that this is information with which hunters are very secretive. After her momentary surprise, she walked over and began to read the description of the skill; when he finished she seemed lost in thought of her as she murmured to herself. When she stopped murmuring a soft smile she was drawn on her face and a little excited she began to explain some things to Desmond.

′′ You really are lucky, this ability is amazing; it is incredibly versatile. Under normal circumstances you can use it specifically to boost abilities for short periods of time, thus giving you bursts of reinforcement in your combat actions that could catch your enemies off guard; Used properly, you could use the ability multiple times in a single battle, as long as all uses are brief and not too intense. It also allows you, if necessary, to execute skills with a level of power that you would not normally be able to use, it is a good trump card; although of course, it has its risks. Overall it is an incredible skill. ′′

Desmond could only be dumbfounded seeing Miss Rossi so excited explaining the possible ways to use the ability, not that it had not occurred to him; it’s just that she took him by surprise how enthusiastic the attitude of his new partner was.

.....

Of course, Desmond had no way of knowing that Miss Rossi had put all her hope of gaining respect and acceptance in the fact that he would become a great hunter; In addition to that Elaisa had always been attracted to strong and talented men. It’s just that due to his background no matter how beautiful she was, there was no possibility that he would have a romantic relationship with anyone; But that doesn’t mean she didn’t think about it, as a matter of fact, she was actually a huge fan of romance s and she had hopes of one day meeting her prince charming.

Thinking of all this, a little blush colored Elaisa’s cheeks for a moment before she disappeared; she then proceeded to finish the final adjustments to Desmond’s registry.

And . . . Ready, your official registration is complete; now you are a real hunter. ′′

′′ Thank you very much Elaisa. ′′

′′ There is no reason, that is my job. ′′

′′ Speaking of which, do not be offended, but what really is your job; I doubt it’s just doing the paperwork like a secretary. ′′

′′ I find that comment somewhat offensive, but I will let it pass; Besides, you are not entirely wrong. Part of my job is to generate various records and documents on your behalf for the association, but that’s not all I do; broadly speaking, I am a specialist in logistics, analysis, and information gathering. My role as your agent is to facilitate your work as a hunter in various ways, from the analysis and selection of missions that best suit your skills; to facilitate the transactions you have with third parties for the purchase/sale of equipment or resources. ′′

′′ I don′t think a secretary can do all that, so calling you as such was really stupid of me; I also understand why the existence of agents is necessary for hunters. ′′

′′ Good to hear, now that you have received an introduction I think you should consume the fortifying serum while I perform my first task as your personal agent. ′′

′′ What would that task be? ′′

′′ As I mentioned part of my work is the investigation and selection of missions in your name; in addition to facilitating the purchase of equipment, resources and skills if necessary. For this, I must know your current skills, fighting style, fighting habits; etc. With your permission, I would like to see your fighting records kept in the hunter’s book in which you assimilate the fortifying serum. ′′

Elaisa expressed a somewhat abnormal amount of emotion when she spoke of reviewing my combat records, but I assumed that she just wanted to demonstrate what she was capable of or something like that; so she ignores her strange attitude and expresses a doubt.

How long does the serum assimilation process take? ′′

′′ The process may take a few hours, is there a problem? ′′

′′ When I was transported here I was in the middle of something important and hoped I wouldn’t have to be here that long. ′′

′′ Oh I see, you don’t have to worry about that; the association’s headquarters exists on a rather special plane of existence. So, when transporting you back, we can send you to the exact moment you left, of course, that only applies when you go to or come from the fortress; when traveling between worlds these settings vary greatly. Therefore, I do not recommend staying too long in one world, sometimes the time setting can be 1:20 and you can spend a whole month there only having spent a day and a half in your world; but sometimes the setting is 1: 1 and the month in that world would be a month in your world. Under normal circumstances, that kind of information will be provided to you before you accept a mission so that you can make the necessary adjustments. ′′

′′ That’s good to know, in that case, I’ll take the serum while you work. ′′

After drinking the serum I could feel a burning current running through my body, the pain did not seem as strong as I thought it would be, after the burning sensation came a soft freshness and a revitalizing breeze that came from within me; the process started over and I soon lost track of time.
