Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Nergigante followed behind Fujimaru Ritsuka. Every time it took a step with its huge and heavy body, the platform made of wooden boards would make an overwhelming sound and vibration, as if it would break at any time.

A wide road had long been vacated on their route. The hunters consciously kept a distance that was neither far nor close, and could not help but look at the Nergigante curiously.

Although the Nergigant caused some commotion in the port last time, because it lasted only a short time and the Nergigant flew away soon, most people in the stronghold have only heard about it so far. Various legends.

For example, he helped the hunters defeat the Lava Dragon, was tamed by people from another world, and even the corpse of the ancient dragon (Lamp Dragon) that had just been transported back to the base was also found and defeated with the help of the Nergigante.

Since Nergigante is not an ordinary ancient dragon that brings natural disasters, but the guardian of the ecology, this inference has gradually been recognized by people, which has caused a considerable change in everyone's understanding of Nergigant.

Therefore, it is reported that the hunters and scholars in the store have shown more curiosity than last time about the arrival of Nergigante at the [Star] stronghold again.

Especially the way it obediently followed Fujimaru Ritsuka made people feel extremely novel. Some bold people even put aside what they were doing temporarily and followed the Nergigante while looking at it curiously and talking to it with relish. The companions discussed.

"Wow, you really follow people obediently!"

"Do you think it is really the guardian of the ecology?"

"Who knows, but it does not have the ability to trigger natural disasters like other ancient dragons."

"In other words, it is considered our companion?"

"...I don't know if it's a companion, but in short, if you encounter it in the wild, I suggest you run faster."

On the other side, faced with this high-profile situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that it was okay, but Nergigante was obviously not so adaptable. It felt awkward with the looks from everyone, and couldn't help but threaten everyone. Roar.

"Roar!!!"

"Whoa-!"

"Run!"

"It's angry!..."

The onlookers immediately dispersed in fear. Seeing this, Nergigante snorted hard, withdrew his gaze and continued to follow Fujimaru Ritsuka.

When everyone saw Nergigante's performance, they cautiously approached again, but kept a longer distance, and did not have the same heated discussion as before. They just hung far behind Nergigant.

"Well, everyone is quite enthusiastic, haha..."

Re Ya scratched her cheek in embarrassment and looked down at the large amount of information on the ecology of the Nergigante in her hand. She felt that she was not qualified to criticize others, so she could only say good things for her companions with some embarrassment.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled nonchalantly. In her opinion, this reaction from the hunters was something she was happy to see.

Because the journey was smooth, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the conference room area. The commander-in-chief, who had received the news in advance, was already standing in front of the conference table waiting for them.

"You are back."

"Commander-in-Chief!"

The Commander-in-Chief nodded to them with a smile, and Fujimaru Ritsuka also greeted him warmly, and then after glancing around, asked the Nergigante to stay on the deck outside the meeting area temporarily.

The Nergigante obediently lay down and began to take a nap, while the Commander-in-Chief looked at all this with some surprise.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that compared to the previous situation, Nergigante seemed to be much more obedient now.

Did something happen that he didn't know about?

With this thought in his mind, he returned his gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka and said with a smile:

"Anyway, thank you for taking care of the Dark Lantern Dragon and being willing to provide us with its body."

"Oh, by the way, Dark Lantern Dragon is the ancient dragon under the earth's veins. It is the name we have tentatively proposed. It will become its official registered name after it is confirmed by the guild."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, not surprised by this.

Then, the commander-in-chief smiled again:

“Also, this is a small token of appreciation from us to thank you for your contribution.”

As he spoke, he took out a metal badge and handed it to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the badge carefully after taking it, but he could only see that the pattern on the badge was very exquisite. As for the words engraved on it, of course he couldn't understand it at all.

"This is……?"

The commander-in-chief smiled and explained:

"This is the badge that represents the status of a hunter. I have already registered you with the guild. With this badge, you will become an official hunter of the guild."

"Hunter? Me?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the Commander-in-Chief in surprise. After seeing the other party nodding in affirmation, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Although the identity of a hunter is a bit illusory to a person from another world like her, and it does not seem as good as some substantial rewards, but it is very suitable to her appetite, and she feels a sense of joy in collecting titles.

At the same time, she suddenly remembered something, and quickly looked at Melyuzina aside, receiving a smile in response.

Sure enough, this was the deal between Melyuzina and the Grand Leader.

In this world, only Melyuzina knows her preferences.

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt warm and accepted the gift with a smile.

"Thanks."

But on the other side, Reya and Bai Feng looked at the badge in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand with curiosity and confusion. They didn't understand why the commander-in-chief registered Fujimaru Ritsuka as a hunter and gave her the hunter badge.

Because in their impression, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not have much fighting ability.

If you want to give it, it should be given to Melyuzina, right?

At this time, Reya finally saw clearly the style of the badge in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"No way, it's actually a master hunter badge?!"

"Eh?"

Hearing Reya's exclamation, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at her doubtfully, so Reya immediately explained to her.

Hunters in the guild are divided into three major levels, namely lower-level hunters, upper-level hunters, and master-level hunters.

Although there are different star classifications between each hunter level, such as the lower one-star hunter, the upper three-star hunter, etc., there are only three types of hunter badges: lower-level, upper-level and master.

In the guild, the most numerous are naturally the lower-level hunters, who are also the mainstay of the guild. The upper-level hunters can already be regarded as the elite hunters in the guild.

As for master hunters, they are rare.

The hunters of the fifth phase of the group are all composed of elite hunters. Most of them are high-level hunters. The only master hunters are Bai Feng and Aiden from the recommended group.

This shows how powerful and rare a master hunter is.

That's why Reya acted so surprised.

After listening to Reya's introduction, Fujimaru Ritsuka roughly understood the value of a master hunter, so he couldn't help but look at the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief explained to her with a smile:

"Because the achievements of defeating the Dark Lantern Dragon are recorded on your head, it is natural for you to become a master hunter."

There are many conditions for promotion to the master hunter level, but the most important criterion is strength, the ability to defeat ancient dragons.

Of course, because of the powerful power of the ancient dragon, generally speaking, a crusade in the context of "Crunt against the Ancient Dragon" does not just mean killing the ancient dragon, but as long as it can resist and defeat the ancient dragon, it is considered a crusade.

As a special individual among the ancient dragons, the Dark Lantern Dragon possesses a power that far exceeds that of ordinary ancient dragons when it is born. Being able to kill such a special and powerful ancient dragon, it is naturally considered a true master hunter.

Although it wasn't Fujimaru Ritsuka who killed him personally.
