Nero, The Legendary Hunter

When Nero left with Choko, she opened the system map. On the map, she saw some red dots inside and outside the Qin Clan. That meant they were definitely enemies. Perhaps because she had offended the Patriarch of the Qin Clan, they were now treated as a potential danger. Even still, they managed to escape estate without being caught.

Nero and Choko walked through the city streets until Choko said, "This place has good accommodations. Let's stay here."

Nero vetoed her suggestion and said, "No, we are going to leave town. Well have to camp in the forest and in the morning we can return. Of course, you can still return now if you wish; I don't want to make things difficult for you." Nero noticed that she was being followed. She knew that if she stayed in the city, it would be too risky for her. Perhaps Choko's father had done nothing so far because he knew nothing about her, but when he found out she had no support, it was almost 100% certain that he would act against her.

Choko was silent for a few seconds, but strengthened her resolve, "Whatever, I'm still going with you. You want to camp out? Then that is exactly what I want too!"

Of course, Choko was saying all this as lip service and not to make Nero feel guilty about dragging her into it. In addition, Choko also felt guilty herself about all of this.

When the two guards at the city gate saw Nero and Choko leave in the middle of the night, although they thought it was strange, they were not the ones who would get into trouble if something were wrong. Besides, it was the young princess of the Qin Clan who was leaving; they couldn't let themselves say the wrong thing and end up offending her.

When Nero and Choko left, passing through the city gates, Nero realized on the map that they were still being followed. Of course, she pretended not to notice and continued to distance herself from the city along with Choko.

"Nero, to the south, there's a lake where monsters rarely appear, and whenever they do appear they are at most level 3," Choko told her.

"Okay, we're going over there then," Nero replied and summoned Luna.

[Platinum Wolf] (Luna) Rank F: Level 5 - Summoned!]

"Luna!..." Choko was pleasantly surprised to see the silver wolf. But not wanting to scare the wolf, she managed to restrain herself and not hug her.

"Let's get away quickly. When we get close to the lake you mentioned, I'll make Luna be obedient and let you play with her a little," Nero said with a simple smile.

"It's a promise." Choko was excited, almost forgetting their current situation.

Minutes later, Nero and Choko arrived near the lake that Choko had spoken about.

Nero realized that the lake was very strange. It was extremely similar to a normal lake, but there were no fish here. All the water in the lake was clean and transparent, showing the bottom, and there was a big blue rock that was incredibly beautiful at the bottom of the lake.

Choko was also surprised. She did not remember there being such a stone at the bottom of the lake, and had always been full of fish.

Nero, seeing that even Choko was surprised, found it even more strange, however, she noticed that they were surrounded by the people who had been following them since before and thought that she had higher priorities at the moment.

"Choko, let's set up the tent," Nero said. She wanted to act as if she hadn't noticed that they were surrounded, since she saw from the map that the strongest level amongst the people following her and Choko was level 5.

"Mm." Choko nodded and took the tent from her Hunter Card.

Before long, Nero and Choko had finished setting up the tent.

"Done," Nero smiled.

"Yes." Choko also smiled and asked, "By the way, what do you intend to do next?"

"Mm, I saw that enrollment for the hunters' school in the Nan Empire starts next month. I'm thinking of enrolling. After all, if I participate in the hunter school, I will be able to go in dungeons of rank F, E, and D." Nero had seen this before in the city, but she was not as interested before as she was now that she intended to leave Esfin Town. She felt that the hunters' school would now be a perfect place where she could strengthen herself.

Furthermore, Nero did not feel safe here. She was not a fool; Nero could imagine that the scientists from whom the ex-owner of the body fled must be looking for her.

"Oh..." Choko was contemplative. She had never thought of leaving Esfin Town, but now, knowing that Nero intended to go to the Nan Empire...

"Can I come with you?" Choko seemed nervous when asking this question. She was afraid Nero would reject her, however, what she didn't understand was that if she wanted to go, Nero didn't have a say whether she could go or not, but at that moment she didn't even think very deeply into it.

"Yes, but are you sure?" Nero of course would feel safer if Choko went with her, however, she knew that unlike her, Choko had a life in Esfin Town.

"Yes, I am." Choko took a deep breath and was happy to receive a positive response. "Actually, apart from my mother, Jana, Jair, and Breno, I have no reasons to stay. Furthermore, it has always been my dream to be able to become a rank A hunter. Although I know it is difficult, almost impossible even, I do not want to give up."

Choko at that moment was being sincere; she had had that dream when she was young, but she had given up on it, however, meeting Nero made her believe in her dream again.

"Okay. I won't stop you, but how do you intend to tell your mother about this? And won't your father make things difficult for her due to your absence?" This was what Nero was most concerned about.

"Ah, when it comes to that... I don't have to worry. Although it doesn't look like it, my mom is a rank 6 hunter. At Esfin Town, there aren't many who can go against her. Besides, there's my grandfather..." Choko stopped talking when she mentioned her grandfather; there seemed to be a profound story behind it.

"Okay, I am so relieved." Nero smiled.

While they were talking, the group of people who were just lurking before, appeared from the foliage.

"Miss Choko, come back with us. And you, insolent girl, you need to come back with us and apologize to Patriarch Adam!" Wearing dark green clothes, a tall man with nearly 200 cm of short brown hair laughed coldly, full of mockery, "It would be even better if you agreed to be Patriarch Adam's concubine."

"Big Brother, she is very hot." One of the men who appeared in dark green clothing said, licking his lips lasciviously with no intention of disguising it. "If... If we played with her some before, and then took her to Patriarch Adam, might she become more obedient?"

"Bastard!" Choko closed her hands tightly, driving her nails into the palm of her hands. She then took out a pair of red gloves from her Hunter Card. Choko was prepared to fight, with no intention of going back and handing Nero over to these bad guys.

Nero, who had been silent all this time, walked up in front of the man who had said these disgusting things and with a dagger that she took from her inventory, she jumped in the direction of the man and with a spin, looking like a spinning top; she cut the man's neck off cleanly.

"Moron!" Nero spat on the ground with contempt as she landed on the floor.

The over 10 other men in green clothes took a while to show a reaction. It was all so fast that they were only able to see Nero standing in front of the body lying on the floor without his head.
