Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530 118.3 - Abigail

HOWL~!

The wind howled through the frozen landscape, whipping up flurries of snow that danced in the air like tiny, crystalline shards.

The ground beneath was a blanket of white, stretching endlessly in every direction, broken only by the occasional jagged outcrop of ice.

A woman moved steadily through the snow, her footsteps leaving crisp, precise imprints in the powder. Each step was deliberate, her movements unaffected by the biting cold or the relentless wind that lashed against her.

Her body was wrapped in insulated clothing, the dark fabric designed to withstand the harshest of environments. Protective goggles covered her eyes, shielding them from the stinging snow and the blinding glare of the white world around her. Despite the hostile conditions, the woman's posture remained composed, her presence as unyielding as the winter that surrounded her.

As she walked, the smartwatch on her arm buzzed, its vibrations subtle against her wrist but impossible for her to miss.

RING! "Sigh…."

She paused, the wind momentarily muffling its sound as she lifted her arm. With a smooth motion, she tapped the screen, activating the call.

The holographic display shimmered in the cold air, and the voice of a man came through, clear and direct.

"Sentinel Reina," his voice carried a weight that cut through the wind, commanding yet respectful.

Reina's gaze remained fixed on the snow ahead, her expression hidden behind the protective gear, but her tone was calm and measured as she responded, "Anchor Steelclad."

"The other Anchors are requesting a report."

"A Report?"

"Yes. Regarding Adept Natusalune. There have been some complaints, as you know."

Reina nodded once, the gesture barely perceptible beneath her layers of protective clothing.

FLICK! With a flick of her fingers, a surge of energy rippled through the air, and in an instant, the snowy mountains were left behind in silence, the only trace of her presence being the rapidly fading footprints in the snow.

The scene shifted seamlessly from the icy wilderness to the warmth and precision of Reina's office. The walls, adorned with various strategic maps and glowing data streams, pulsed softly with the quiet hum of advanced technology.

Reina now stood in the center of the room; her attire transformed into a sleek, dark uniform that exuded authority and efficiency. Her goggles had been replaced by a sharp gaze that missed nothing, and her smartwatch had seamlessly integrated with the holographic interface in front of her.

Before her, the hologram of Anchor Steelclad flickered to life, his imposing figure standing in stark contrast to the sterile environment of the office.

"Please wait a little, Sentinel Reina."

He said as he tapped onto his desk.

"I am connecting to other Anchors."

Reina stood motionless, her sharp gaze fixed on the holographic display as Steelclad worked at his desk. The hum of advanced technology filled the air as the connection was established, and one by one, the holograms of other Anchors materialized around the room.

Their figures were imposing, each one radiating authority and power, yet there was a noticeable undercurrent of tension as they settled into the meeting.

"Sentinel Reina," one of the Anchors greeted her curtly, his tone cold. "We've been informed that you have significant updates regarding Adept Natusalune. We are here to review the data."

Another Anchor, her voice laced with skepticism, interjected, "I hope this will justify the substantial resources that have been diverted to this trainee. It seems excessive to some of us."

Reina's expression remained composed, her confidence unshaken by the skepticism in the room. She had anticipated this reaction, knowing that some would question the investment in Astron. With a steady hand, she activated the holographic interface, bringing up the data she had meticulously compiled.

"Thank you, Anchors," Reina began, her voice calm and measured. "I understand that there are concerns regarding the allocation of resources to Adept Natusalune. However, I believe that his recent performance will speak for itself."

She tapped a command, and the holographic display shifted to show detailed data from Astron's first mission in Veilcroft. The visual representation of the mission's timeline, key events, and outcomes was presented with precision, highlighting Astron's contributions.

"His first mission in Veilcroft, as you can see, was not a simple task. The investigation had been ongoing for two months with limited success, until Adept Natusalune was assigned to the team. His unique understanding and perspective allowed him to identify critical information that had been overlooked by others. His observational skills and ability to comprehend complex situations were the main reasons the operation was brought to a successful conclusion."
