Matthew proceeded up the stairs and knocked on the doors which was followed by a simple "Come in."    The office was simple in design, but that didn't mean that the items were of low quality.  The man behind the desk was a bit stocky with a head full of blonde hair with a touch of grey in his similarly blonde beard.  He had an intense stare as Matthew came to stand at his desk.    "How is your father doing?" the man asked after a long awkward silence    "He is doing well, and he is off on business in another city currently." Matthew said a bit confused.    Another long pause ensued as the man reviewed some paperwork that he eventually passed over to Matthew.    "These forms are for your enrollment into the union.  They also detail the communication device that you will be given in the event of an emergency.  Your hunter grade will start out at will be copper.  Complete

Before getting to his new training with the sword, he had to do the rest of his mental exercises. Beginning his perception training, he felt that the block at thirty feet just needed the right push. He began to use the same pulse method that he had used before and slowly the block crumbled, leaving his new limit at thirty-three feet. Satisfied with this, he then moved on to enhanced memory. Starting like before, creating a tiny mana sphere, he began to build it up. The whole time he was working on it he could feel the sheer amount of mana that he had to put into it was immense. It took him an entire hour to make the sphere the size of a marble where in the past it had only taken him roughly twenty minutes. Unable to cope with the mental burden any further at the moment, he turned his attention to the sword. Making his way outside, he began to imitate the sword technique that he had learned from the book. He was able to pull this off due to his hard built foundatio

It didn't take long for his mother to swing by and take his order. She greeted him happily and made short small talk with him for a moment before making her way back to the kitchen. The restaurant was a nice homey place with a warm atmosphere and was a little noisy due to sell of warm mead. It didn't take long for his mother to come back with his food before rushing off to deal with other customers. Since there wasn't a drinking age he helped himself to the mug of warm mead that his mother had placed on the table in front of him and began to dig into the hearty meal. The meal consisted of boars meat, vegetable stew, sweet bread, and fresh greens. It had been a while since he had eaten such a big meal, but he was going to treat himself this time because of his recent success. He hadn't even realized until he finished wolfing down the meal that he had even eat the bones of the boars hindquarters until he looked down at his completely clean table. Another notable fact w

Reaching the hunters union, Matthew made his way to the request counter. The only request he could take were of the copper grade so he began to take a look through them. Most were gathering requests for various herbs with very few being for monster materials. Materials gathered from monsters could be used to make armors, weapons, and various tools. "I'll take these two requests please." Matthew said The person behind the desk nodded as she loaded the information on his communication device. This would help him keep track of the area that he had to search for the things he was searching for and the materials he had to gather from the monsters. Having accepted the requests, he made his way to the city gates to head toward the area for his requests. He had made sure to accept request in the same area. The herbs he had to gather were for healing solutions and the monsters he had to hunt were a dog like creature that had stripes and long fangs like a saber tooth.

Somewhere in the forest outside the town, a boy was having his first hard battle. Matthew was breathing heavily as he continued to adapt. He was slowly getting use to the speed of the alpha and had even managed to inflict some more damage on it. Unfortunately, the damaged seemed to heal fairly quickly as none of it lasted more than a few minutes. 'I'm going to have to inflict some heavy damage if I want to stand a chance of taking this thing out.' Matthew thought to himself. He had taken some damage as well during this whole time and had cuts in various places. The alpha rushed ahead again only for Matthew to block the claws that were aimed at his chest. The blow caused him to slide across the ground before a tree again stopped his momentum. During the previous exchanges, he had managed to take out the other two saber wolves and this was the reason for some of his injuries as during that moment the alpha had attacked him. He was searching for a way to end thi
