Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

"We need to leave too, Acht," Leislet said as she grabbed the soul stone and gave it to him.

From the moment she gave the orders to do an evacuation of the total capital, all of the hunters started leading the civilians out of the city toward a very precise location.

Many had already died but the rest were able to escape. It was a disaster but it wasn't the first nor the last dungeon outbreak to ever happen.

However, this time, the case was extremely severe. A potential S-Rank monster was expected to be inside the dungeon and could exit at any moment.

These kinds of monsters need at least 3 S-Rank hunters and a dozen A-Rank hunters to beat them. Such a thing of course was not easy to do since most S-Rank and higher hunters couldn't just team up without having proper communication between them when fighting so that they could coordinate themselves during the confrontation.

Any stupid mistake during such a fight could end up with the whole time 6 feet underground.

That's why a meeting was needed to find a solution and even create a whole expedition team to kill the boss.

As for now, they needed to first clean up the place of humans so as to not suffer any unnecessary casualties.

*************************

Three days passed since the catastrophic dungeon outbreak, Acht was sitting in some meeting room that was very big and luxurious.

His chair was to the side, exactly one chair away from the middle which was specifically made for the hunter association president.

Other than him, there were a few other people who had the same grave and serious look on their faces.

They were the heads of prestigious families in the kingdom and also guild heads. They were basically the cream of the crop when it comes to the head figures of that country.

However, the meeting still didn't start since there were many free chairs left to be occupied. The meeting was scheduled at a very early time in the day to not lose any unnecessary time.

"Miss Leislet, do you mind if I ask a question?" One of the men sitting suddenly asked.

He was a scrawny-looking man with a clean shaved face and an elegant suit. He wore a pair of medical glasses and had this aura of arrogance around him.

"Go ahead."

"I do understand the gravity of the situation so I didn't want to talk about nonsensical topics. But, I can't stop myself from asking about this little boy. Why is he here?"

Leislet didn't look irritated at all and neither did Acht, she just looked him straight in the eyes.

"Mr. Rainlocks, I do understand your concerns. But, Acht is a very special guest of mine so please do accept his presence." She replied.

"But, this is a matter of great importance, having kids here is not acceptable!" He tapped the table with a clearly angry face.

All this time, Acht didn't even glance at the man as if he was not even worthy of his attention.

When she saw how the man was having a tantrum, Leislet decided to become a little bit sterner. So, she unleashed a very small portion of her aura and replied.

"Mr.Rainlocks, I don't think this is the time to start an argument about whether I could invite whoever I want to a meeting or not. So, please refrain from screaming."

Her words were polite but her tone was far from that, it could even be considered threatening.

The man clenched his teeth and didn't reply but it was clear that he was not done with Acht.

After this conversation, someone entered the room.

Acht didn't look at him at first since many would enter this place and he couldn't be bothered with any of them.

"Welcome, Mr.Goldknight. Please, take a seat."

'Goldknight?' hearing this name, Acht immediately looked at the man.

Even though Acht was a master when it comes to hiding his emotions, he couldn't hold himself from becoming slightly irritated at the man.

Just seeing him made the boy remember what he saw in the laboratory and that thought alone sent a shudder down his spine.

The man didn't seem to feel Acht's cold gaze and walked to the chair beside him with a calm expression.

When he sat down, he looked to his side and smiled slightly.

"It's rare to see young men in these meetings. Welcome, what's your name?"

"...Acht," Acht replied briefly.

"Hohoho. How old are you, Acht?" He said with a slight smile.

"...Is that of any concern with the current matter at hand?"

'In other words, leave me alone, fucker.' He thought inwardly as he sighed.

"No, I was just curious since I have never seen a level 9 white soul at your age."

The others present also knew this fact so they didn't talk about it much, but deep down, they were also very surprised at this monstrous talent.

Most of the kids his age still haven't even awakened yet. As for the lucky ones, they were barely level 4 or 5.

"I will consider that as a compliment," Acht said with a flat tone and looked to the side.

'Does this kid hate me for some reason?' Damien thought to himself.

They had never met before yet Acht seemed to hate him a lot.

After that, silence prevailed again and the people waited for the rest of the people to come.

After a few other minutes, the meeting room was finally full and Leislet could finally start the meeting.

She looked at each and every one of them and said,

"I shall start the meeting then. As I said before, we have discovered the potential existence of an S-Rank monster. We aren't sure if the information is accurate but it's a very likely case. Please read the files in front of you for the full details."

The people present then opened the files and read the content attentively.

"What kind of monster was this A-Rank orc?" One of the women there asked.

Leislet was about to answer before an idea struck her mind and she peeked at Acht for a moment.

"You can ask my special guest here since he was the one who killed it."
