The World We Do Not Know - 178 True Power of a Hunter

Instantly, A huge shadow appears before Faust. Faust immediately raises his head sensing a person in front of him but before that, a hand of the huge person is already inches away from Faust’s chest. The hand is not balled into a fist but the hand is folded and the thumb and middle fingers are joined.

*TIC~*

The person gives a gentle flick with his fingertips on Faust’ chest right in the middle and in a blink, Faust is Blown away to a whopping Twenty feet and gets buried inside the walls of the arena.

*”So that is what he is capable of”* Faust slowly closes his eyes eyeing on the person before him.

“You don’t need to hurt him so badly! He is still a member of our house!” Daniel tells the person that sent Faust flying into the wall.

“I held back myself quite a lot! If he had control over him, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt.” Moon Byul, The three-star general of the house replies to Daniel.

Faust, the mysterious kid who overpowered a general and left everyone in a shock is taken down with just a flick from Moon Byul.

“Dammit! what did we witness today? Lord Moon Byul took that kid down very easily!”

“And that kid took down a general very easily.”

“I don’t think I will be able to have a good sleep tonight!”

The crowd has witnessed something incredible with how Faust kept fighting against all odds by winning over a general and then seeing how powerful the three-star general is to be able to take down Faust with just one flick.

“Of course what would you expect? There are only three to five generals in every house that achieved the same level of Moon Byul. And there is only one Moon Byul in our house so. Of course, he is strong!” Elton keeps glancing at the sun rays that are trying to shine brightly from behind the clouds. It looks like a hot burning ball of fire striving its way to dry the massive oceans to make its mark.

“Fausto! Wake up, buddy! wakey wakey, daddy’s here.” In the building of Tsumugi, Awarnach whispers into the ears of Faust who was asleep for the past three weeks.

“Faust, I bought your favourite sweets that you die for, the spongy, milky, creamy sweets are waiting for you, wake up….” Cameron wearing a black tank top stands on the other side of the bed. Leaning down towards Faust while gently arranging the strands of her hair to the back of her ear with her fingertips.

“Faust, we are the new talk of the town now! wake up fast! There are lots of girls that I want to introduce to you hehehe.” Elton whispers into his ears slowly, rejoicing the fact that he has become popular among the house and the female soldiers.

“I-I would prefer you all to keep quiet or talk in a low voice.” The doctor treating Faust says in a shy, low voice. He is tall and slender with a pair of Buddy Holly glasses.

“Hey keep it low guys, remember what the doc said? WE SHOULD NOT DISTURB HIM!” Tsumugi yells at the three that are potentially ‘disturbing’ Faust.

“You are the one who is louder than anyone in the entire room lady Tsumugi!” Elton declares without thinking twice. He just said what came to his mind.

“How dare you speak to Lady Tsumugi in that rude way? Give me an order milady, I will dissect his mini Eiffel Tower and will make it into a tunnel!” Charles the head butler slides his way into the scene. His right hand on his heart and his head lowered gracefully as he asks Tsumugi’s permission to handle Elton’s gender.

“I-I just… Plea…. Quie?” The doc does not get anything that is happening which is turning into potential chaos and he tries to command everyone to talk in a low voice but his low voice is dominated by the mess made by Tsumugi’s family.

“Huhhhhh? What does that even mean you, butler! Stop talking about weird stuff.” Elton lashes back at Charles as he clenches his fists and leaps forward but is stopped by Awarnach who held Elton by his waist, without letting him go towards Charles.

“Butler? But he is a butler! That is no insulting word for a butler John!” Cameron corrects Elton.

“Ca- yo- guy- qu-qui-quiet?” The doc is still trying to calm everyone. He goes inside the mob, he places his hands on the shoulders of Charles to calm him down.

“Give me orders milady! Give me orders milady!” Charles still stays with composure, his head is still looking down and his hand on his heart. He keeps asking Tsumugi gracefully to leave the situation in his hands.

“Do not touch my tuxedo with your dirty hands, sir.” Charles pushes the doc who approached him with a good cause. like a flea who does not have any importance.

“N-no g-guys! L-listen.* The doc comes back into the fighting crowd and this time he tries to calm Elton and holds both of Elton’s hands to confiscate him from moving too much.

Elton pulls the doc by his hands, lifts him like a doll by holding his hands and throws him aside.

“STAY EFFIN QUIET.” Having had enough, the doc explodes onto everyone.

“I just told you he is gaining his conscious and I would appreciate it if you guys don’t send him back to his sleep with these melodramatic dialogues.” The doctor decides to stop the crazy people from disturbing his patient.

“So my lord, your take is that this kid named Faust is the humanoid that left the mainland fifteen years ago?” Moon Byul humbly raises a question to Daniel in the meeting room.

Every noble of the house with Moon Byul, excluding a noble from Tsumugi’s family, sits on a round table talking about the incidents happened in the purge.

“Yes! And I guess he does not know how to use his powers to full potential yet, which is a piece of good news for us. And to have a powerful humanoid in our house would benefit us. ” Daniel lays down his thoughts on the table for everyone.

“He is a golden goose that we need to raise with care!” He exclaims with an evil grin as several plots go through his head. “I look forward to the future of our house. Luck is on our side and it’s our turn to create a new era!”

“Keep this a confidential matter, restrain yourselves from talking to others about this. This needs to stay between us fifteen members, no one other than us should know about this.” Daniel warns every noble of the house to keep Faust a secret. He has other plans to make it work with Faust without letting anyone know about him.

In the ‘Palace of God’ that is in between the two nations governing the mortals. Inside a golden hall, where everything except the white floor is pure gold. Walls and pillars made of gold, decorated with jewels, chains and gems of red and blue colours. The ceiling all coated in gold and dressed in small diamonds that sparkle like stars.

A blind man is guided by a royal guard in the middle of the hall on a black carpet with gold embroidered flowers. He walks up to a throne adorned with gems and diamonds on an eight-foot stage.

Both, the blind man and the royal guard bent on one of his knees, lowering their heads out of respect for the supreme being seated on the Throne in royal clothes.

“Your majesty!” The old blind man carefully addresses the person on the throne while telling himself not to make any blunders in addressing the person and at the same time fearing not to anger him by any kind of news that makes the person on throne unpleasant.

Immediately, that person gestures his hand to stop and the royal guard who guided the blind man holds his arm from beside while tightly squeezing to make the blind man understands that the ‘God’ the strongest man on earth does not want him to speak.

The God then moves his hand facing the royal guard who guided the blind man and jerks his hand up gesturing him to speak first.

“Y-your majesty! News from the House Of Asuras, The purge that has happened last week gave them a rather strong soldier who impressed many nobles. And Daniel speculated that the soldier might be the defective humanoid that our palace tried to get rid of years ago.” The guard informs the news that is thought to be confidential in the house of Asura’s.

The God then again placing his hand in front of the guard flicks his hand out as he is trying to shake off, gesturing the guard to leave the hall. The person stands up with his head lowered down, takes two steps back while still bowing down to the God, turns back and walks away.

“Ahem” After the guard has left the hall, God signals the blind man that he can speak now.

“Forgive me, your majesty! It is about the defective humanoid that we brought back after all these years. He is making good progress.!” The blind man informs about the same humanoid that is known to go out of the main country with the help of a doctor years ago.

“Forgive me, your majesty! It is about the imperfect humanoid that we brought back after all these years. He is making good progress.!” The blind man notifies about the same humanoid that is known to escape out of the main country with the help of a doctor years ago.

The mortal that is continuing to receive praisings as a God in the realm of mortals. Elohim sits on the throne with his right hand supporting his chin while the other hand on the hand rest.

He is wearing a long gown of gold, a spirally spun gold strip, adorned with coronation robes which is also woven the same way with gold. On both his shoulders are chains from one end to another that hold his robe together.

“Well, well if it isn’t for the best of my lord. Let the houses think that the soldier is that humanoid with an infinite amount of energy while we train the real one inside the palace in secret and make him our dog.”

“He will be decisive to plunder the thirteenth dimension! And once we succeed, all the stones we will enough stones in our hands to keep our earth running for the next ten centuries wagagagaga.” Ivor the royal advisor for Elohim comes forth from behind the throne with happy smiles he expresses his feelings freely.

Ivor turns back to Elohim to accept the words of praise from the god for his exceptional plans. But surprisingly he receives stares from Elohim who looks pissed.

*”Huh? What is wrong? Did I say anything wrong? Why does my lord looks like he is ready to execute a royal advisor.”* Ivor turns pale upon catching Elohim’s piercing glares.

With a heavy sigh, Elohim settles himself in the throne adjusting his robe without getting it in between his legs. He looks a little old for a God as he hits mid-thirties a day ago. Thirty-six and the strongest mortal alive.

“Be it earth or any other dimension you are in, be it gold, wood or paper. The walls always have ears, Ivor. ” Elohim explains to Ivor.

*”Dammit! I should have known better, I’m a useless adviser if I’m not even aware of my surroundings.”* Ivor dramatically hides his face to show everyone how guilty he is. to may have leaked some important plans of his lord.

“Anyway, His name is Markos, Abraham. Stop calling him it or this. Even though he is a humanoid, he is like us.” Elohim only shows his kind side to the people very close to him. One is his blind teacher who taught him life and the other is his close friend.

“And we are dealing with generals Ivor! They are considered as the most powerful in the world. We need better plans to keep Markos a secret. You are my friend so I have you as my adviser, Ivor. But please don’t come up with any plans. Let me plan out everything accordingly.” Elohim states out everything to Abraham, the old blind man from the retirement house and his friend/advisor Ivor.

“And I have heard about the fourteen-year-old soldier who defeated a general class. It is not an easy feat to pull off, nor is the general a pushover. And also he uses a sword, a real one. So I want you to keep an eye on him as well.” Elohim is the kind of person who keeps friends close and enemies closer.

The network that the people of God’s Palace is so vast that they can keep an eye on each and every person of the world.

“Fausto! You are finally awake my boy, let’s go party on this occasion.” Awarnach yells with enthusiasm upon seeing Faust.

“Awarnach, we literally spoke to each other after I woke up. I just went to take a bath and here I am, it hasn’t been days.” Faust responds to the little over-enthusiastic Awarnach.

“Yes, but let’s go to the party!”

“Wha-what party Awarnach?”

“Oh, Faust! you are out! here, take this attire and suit yourself. We have a medal ceremony to attend.” Tsumugi ran into both Faust and Awarnach, hands Faust his military ceremony clothes to get ready for the awards.

“Oh, it is not done yet? So we did not give Auntie her previous leader position yet?” Faust asks in curiosity/

“Of Course not, we denied receiving medals without our captain. And without the winning team, they cannot really hold a ceremony so they had to wait till you are back from your nap.” Awarnach explains to him what has happened.

Faust realizes that it is rather important and heads to change his clothes. Once everyone is ready, Tsumugi and her family head towards the main building for the ceremony.

Faust wears a white long sleeve shirt tucked into black pants with red stripes on the side, a black coat on the shirt which is up to his waist. And a black cape up to his feet. The right side of the cape is buttoned on the right shoulder, exposing his right arm. While the cape on the left arm is buttoned below his collar. The Japanese kanji word for ‘Ashura’ is printed on the left side of his cape and

He is wearing knee-length black shoes that tightly gripped his calves. The other members of his squad are wearing the same clothes without a cape. Tsumugi is wearing a figure-hugging, sparkling mini dress with long sleeves while her husband is wearing a tuxedo.

“Wow, we came to the main building in the morning and noon but what is this? Is it this pretty at night?” Faust is in amazement upon seeing the main building. The main building is lighted with many colours and the full moon glittering in cantaloupe behind the palace-like building.

From twenty-feet to the building, a red carpet welcomes you that goes all the way inside the building. Thin wooden pillars are planted on both sides of the carpet and small lights connect the tinder on both sides which becomes a roof made with lights that glow in yellow and green.

The texture of the red carpet also seems different. Every step you take, the carpet glows in bright red under your feet.

The main building is tall with four floors. The founder of the house Ashura comes from Japanese inheritance, whereas his wife, mother of Lady Tsumugi comes from a Spanish background.

The house is a mix of both cultures, The main building is a combination of three buildings in reverse ‘U’ shape. A sakura blossom tree present in the middle of all three buildings, which is again wrapped in small led lights that glow in yellow, blue and green.

In front of the main building, three wooden fire torches are glowing in red as the ember is burning brightly. Two more torches on each side of the entrance in front of the main door. One torch is placed on top of the whole building as the torch of Olympus.
