My Second Life in Another World

"I trained a little too late last night," I said as I looked at the clock.

It was currently 1 in the afternoon I just finished my breakfast as I was sitting in the living room as I got a call, And I picked it up.

"Hello?" I said as I didn't know who it was.

-Hunter Tsugikuni it's me Go Gun-Hee I am calling you to tell you about the condition for you to enter gates alone.

"Please go on Chairman," I said as I wanted to know.

-We have assigned 8 gates 5 B-Ranks and 3 A-Ranks for you. we will send Hunter Cha Hae-in with you for insurance even if we know your power. it's better safe than sorry.

"I understand Chairman and thank you again. So when can I start." I asked him.

-That's the reason I called you. can come to the association training ground in Half an hour she will be waiting here as she is on her way.

"Ok, I'll come there," I said as I put my phone down as I went towards the hunter association with my katana in my hands it would be suspicious to take it out of nowhere.

I reached the training ground in 20 minutes as I entered I saw both Chairman Go and Hunter Cha talking.

"You came well you both know each other already so I'll go as I have a meeting to attend." He said as he left.

"Thank you, chairman," I said as went he just nodded with a smile and went away.

"Hunter Cha so when are we going to start the raids," I asked her as she was staring at me intently. So I asked.

"Is there something on my face?"

"A-AHH, no no there is nothing and you can call me Hae-in," she said blushing.

"Ok, then you can call me Haru, Nice to meet you," I said as I extended my hand towards her and she took it.

'His hand is rough, he must have practiced for a long time.' That is what Hae-in thought.

Then she came near me and sniffed near my shoulder. I wasn't surprised as I know the reason and I shouldn't have a pungent smell for her. As I use chakra as energy and not mana from this world. But I should ask just in case.

"Do I smell bad?" I said snapping her out of her daze as her face turned red. And she waved her hands around trying to explain.

After calming down a bit she explained to me the reason she was doing this.

"So do I smell bad," I asked her again as she calmed down a bit more.

"N-No, you have a calming smell. It isn't like any of the hunters I have met before. You are the first to have a good smell." She said as she was blushing and fidgeting with her fingers.

'How can she be so cute?'

.....

After a few minutes, Hae-in calmed down And said

"About the gate, we can go to one now it is on the outskirts of Seoul. And the rank of the gate is B" She said.

I nodded and we went towards our location while talking.

"Haru did you learn how to use a sword on your own?" she asked on our way.

"Yes, are you also interested in swordsmanship Hae-in," I asked even though I knew she trains in swordsmanship.

"Yes, I am interested in swordsmanship I even go to a dojo to learn it." She said while smiling. And I looked at her as she was talking about swordsmanship and a smile appeared on my face.

"i-is something wrong." She asked a bit nervously.

"No, you look cute that's all," I said smiling.

'Hae-in.exe has stopped working.' She was in a daze for a good minute then she looked at me as her face was now redder than a tomato.

I scratched my head as I said.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said it out loud."

She looked embarrassed at the moment as she had her head down looking towards her feet with her ears red.

"N-No it's alright." She said in a low voice.

I have made the situation awkward now.

After 10 minutes we reached the location of the gate and as neither of us talked through the journey she would occasionally glance at me and then look away.

"Let's go and change into our armor." She said as she quickly went towards the changing area and I also went to change.

I went into the changing room and used the Wood release to make Madara's armor and imbued it with Busoushoku haki over the demon slayer uniform(D) this should be enough to face any gate. I was satisfied with it as went near the gate with a katana in my hand I saw Hae-in standing next to the gate fully armed.

Wearing red-themed armor and carrying a black sword with a silver hilt. Her figure is fully shown in that armor.

'She is beautiful alright.' I nodded as went towards her.

"Are you ready?" She asked me I nodded and then she told me about how they raid the dungeon.

"Thank you for telling me," I said smiling as she blushed again and looked away while saying.

"I-It's all right. This was my task." Which caused the two female Association members who were standing near the gate to smile.

'What a cute couple.' Both of them thought at the same time as they saw us. I only bitterly smiled at them which caused them to show me a thumbs-up.

"Ok let's go inside." She said to me as I followed her we both entered the gate I felt a bit of discomfort when entering the gate.

But it subsided after a little while. And I found myself standing in a dark cave with only a way forward. I used my Kenbunshoku haki to check the surroundings and the nearest monster was 400 meters away from here. I looked at Hae-in and said putting on a serious expression.

"I'll start the hunt. Follow me." To which she nodded a bit surprised.

I started running towards the monster with my eyes glowing red. It didn't take long before I reached the monster. There were two orcs with a height of 3 meters, red-skinned ones at that. From what I know they shouldn't be in a B-Rank dungeon unless....the gate's measurement was wrong. The rank of the gate is determined by the magic power emanating from the monsters, so if the boss monster can suppress their mana from leaking. then the gate's ranking will get lower. But I can handle them easily.

I went towards the Orcs and sent a Horizontal slash with my Katana cutting through its neck in one swing. His head fell as Blood gushed out from his neck making a small pool of blood around his body. And the second one didn't even have a chance to react as I cut his head off as well.

{LEVEL UP}

Hmm, I leveled up guess it is because it's an A-Rank Beast. I feel a bit lighter. Guess my stats increased. I'll check it later.

I stopped just past the orc as this was an open space and I can feel 20 High orcs coming towards us from that narrow passage and fighting in there won't be good.

Although it does limit the opponent's movement it also limits my movements. Hae-in stopped near me and said.

"Why is there an A-rank beast here isn't this a B-rank gate." She had a solemn expression contrary to how she was acting before.

"This is a problem we should go back and report to the guild to send a request for help." She said as she was about to turn around.

But I stopped her and said.

"20 orcs are coming our way we should finish them off first and then retreat." She nodded and took a stance. I didn't stop her from doing so.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR* We both heard a loud sound as we looked ahead at the tunnel and a high orc came out and ran towards us as he was followed by other high orcs. I looked towards Hae-in who happened to look towards me. I nodded at her with a smile.

And we faced the magical beasts.

'Hi no kokyū Yōkatotsu (Breath of the sun Sunflower thrust)' I used one of the fast techniques of the breath of the sun and while leaving a trail of fire I arrived in front of the orc and jumped towards his head as I thrust my katana into his forehead. Burning his brain matter and killing him instantly.

I removed my katana from his forehead and used his head as a springboard towards the second Orc and used...

'Enbu' and cut his head into 2 killing him and from my haki, I felt an attack left and right I used the shoulder of the orc I killed and jumped up as I used hand seals Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger and used the Jutsu.

'Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu' and a big ball of fire went towards the orcs burning it alive.

After landing I dodged a bit to right and an axe went past me just missing and landed on the ground I used it as a foothold and cut off the head of the orc that attacked and moved on to the next one.

I looked towards the remaining six orcs coming towards me I laughed and ran towards them as I imbued my katana with Busoshoku haki and used the technique 'emission' and a slash of haki went towards them. They weren't aware of it as it cut 3 of them in half.

'Hi no kokyū Nichiun no Ryū Kaburimai(Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance )' I unleashed a continuous fast and powerful sword attack that seemingly takes the form of a Japanese dragon made of solar flames.

And decapitated all three of them and stood in front of their dead bodies as I looked towards Hae-in who was fighting the last three orcs.

As she dodged towards the side from the one that attacked her in the front and stabbed in the heart killing him then she jump as an attack on her former position she spun in the air like a gymnast and stabbed the one who attacked her in the forehead killing the orc and using his head she jumped towards the last one and cut his head.

Then she looked towards me and said.

"Let's go." And started running towards the exit.

I followed her and heard a voice in my head.
