Chapter 45.
It has been few days after Hope's graduation, he was preparing for an examin that will make him part of the corp.
At the demon hunter academy.
‘ today we make legends and today we become heros ’, a young man said.
He was tall in height, fair and complexion and was about as strong as Ino Lucky.
‘ we don't have to waste our time on this because we all have to take things the way we see things ’.
Hope was standing still while the others were busy walking to and fro around the place with Hope in the middle of it all.
‘ so now you are gonna be a real hunter but am not gonna come with you ’, Alon said.
Hope flashes a smile, ‘ you are gonna come with me cause we are like travel buddies now ’, he pats him on the shoulder while staring at him.
‘ no he is not gonna come with you cause he can not even protect himself from a common demon, so if we were to be surrounded we all might be dead by now like rats ’, Ino lucky said with a strong look on his face.
.......
They all left for the examins with Hope sitter alone in a wide big room. A young lady walks in and placed a paper on his table. As she stood outside of the room, Hope took up a pen and begins to write on the blank paper.
‘ what is gonna be here, mm, I don't even know ’, while scratching his head with his right hand that is holding up his pen, ‘ well am gonna write down what I know ’, in a soft tone.
Few minutes after the examins, Hope walks out with his head up high like who have been on top of the world.
‘ how was your test, hope you followed like you were named ’, Ino asked while staring at Alon who was busy keeping his fists clenched.
‘ are you made or what, why are you looking like an angry dude who wanna kill someone or destroy something ’, Hope said.
He stares at him, ‘ no, am just like not serious just tryna keep my cool ’.
‘ no worries, let us just stay away from the sun for now before you know what ’, Hope said in a soft tone.
.............
Few years later.
‘ swish ’.
‘ hurry, go, go, kill them all ’, a loud voice boom through the environment.
It was dark with the moon light reflecting down on them. some of the corps members ran into the battle field, slicing and slaughtering all demons that walk into their way.
‘ don't worry I will take care of him ’, he runs into their midst and slides in between the demon's leg using his sword to tear him in half from underneath his legs with blood splashing everywhere.
One of them stretched a hand to help him up from ground, ‘ thanks, I never actually thought it was gonna work ’, in a soft tone.
It was Hope, he looks strong than earlier with his hair now longer than before.
‘ go, hurry hunt them all ’.
Hope makes a sprint for it as he unsheathe his katana and makes a dash for it through them.
The battle was intense till the morning sun slowly emerges on the sky, chasing away most of the demons to retreat inside the darkness.
‘ you all did a good job, am so proud of you all, I can not believe that we were able to defeat few of them, I thought we were all out numbered by those bastards but thanks to you all strong believe and faith, we were able to break through it, now celebrate for today and tomorrow we battle again like men that we are ’, Sir Elvis said.
As he turns his back as was about walking away, Alvin causes him to shuddered as he voiced out from the shadows, ‘ that's good, I did not know that you were a motivational speaker, I thought that you were more like a harsh dude with strong principle, tell them to party makes me to wish that Sir Giaus was here to see your good work, he would have been proud ’, in a soft tone.
Sir Elvis nods his head, ‘ even though he isn't here, he is still with us in the spirit like we all have been wish soo, don't worry, he is gonna come around just have a little fate because everything is possible ’, Sir Elvis said before moving into another direction.
‘ gallops ’.
Hope was riding on a white horse, accompanying him was Alon and Ino, they were both looking strong than earlier.
The horse gallops into a small civilized city, with people walking to and fro with business activities in order.
‘ such a small city we have in here ’, Alon said.
He first looks around while moving his horse, ‘ yeah, I can say pretty small but from this eye view I can still see things from afar ’, Ino lucky replied with a bold tone.
He moves forward on his horse, ‘ let's go further and see what we can find ’, in a serious tone.
They all walked into the small city with all the attention drawn to them.
‘ who are they, what are they all doing here, who the hell are they ’.
‘ I don't know don't ask me such foolish questions ’.
‘ stop looking at them can't you see as they are all looking at us ’, some group of individuals were busy whispering into one another ears with Hope looking at them and feeling noticed.
‘ Let's just keep move, forget about them cause people are just gonna say what thay are going to say so don't bite yourself up for them ’.
They all reached a shop were they encounter an old man who was black in complexion and had long white hair accompanied with a rear eye disease causing his eyes to become white.
He was wearing a long white cloak and had unsheathe swords on his back.
He slides his legs as they walked into his space causing dust to ascend into the atmosphere.
‘ fuck, who the hell are you and why are you .... ’, in a worried tone while looking angry.
‘ who does he think he is ’, Alon said to himself as his horse falls down to the ground as he was about landing with his horse, he lunge away from it with his hands scratching the Earth's surface.
They all kept quiet, staring at each other, eyes to eyes.
‘ you are not suppose to be here, demon hunters are not welcomed to this city, it is because of you people our children are now suffering, get out from here or else I will kill you alk like animals you are ’, the old man said.
He moves down to him, ‘ am sorry about the misunderstanding, if it's because of my society please let them pass and punish me instead of them ’, he steps down from his horse and moves closer to him.
The old man feels uncomfortable and slowly draws his sword from his shaft.
‘ wait, don't move Hope, he is gonna kill you like a dog, don't do it ’, Alon said.
But Hope pays a deaf ear to his warning.
