Returning to a few minutes before the collapse of the city wall.

'Newcomer, is this your first time on duty? What's your name?' The middle-aged man in front, with lifeless eyes and a short topknot, asked the young silver-haired boy beside him.

The young boy, who had graduated three years ago and had just passed the assessment with great effort, was full of enthusiasm. Although standing guard on the city wall was his first job, he didn't dare to take it lightly. 'Senior, my name is Holland. I officially became a Huntector just yesterday.'

'Holland? Just call me Johnny. I've been a Huntector for over ten years.'
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qcgtGKgsx
'Johnny, senior! I will work hard. Please guide me.'
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYa25hW8EC
Johnny led Holland in patrolling the city wall and explained the job. Regardless of which city it was, newcomers all started here because they had enough free time to adjust themselves for the journey ahead.

'Don't worry; this position is absolutely safe and easy. Skullbreakers and animals won't attack here. The main responsibility is to monitor the conditions inside and outside the city. I spent nine out of ten years stationed on the city wall and taught countless newcomers.'

Holland could only turn a blind eye to Johnny's habit of picking his nose while he continued to ask questions. 'So, Senior, you spent your last year outside? Have you been to "Paradise"?'
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡligkloicSg
'How could I not have been? It was just less than two years after becoming a Huntector. I remember the moment I was assigned to "Paradise" vividly. I was terrified, but there was no choice; I had to face the challenge. The fear of facing Skullbreakers head-on for the first time is still fresh in my memory.' Johnny said this but still wore a nonchalant expression. 'I applied to return to the city wall later, eager to teach more newcomers.'

'Wow, that's impressive! But it's been almost seven years. Senior, have you neglected your sense of danger and skills?'
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VDF9i3chf
Johnny's gaze suddenly became sharp. He swiftly turned and kicked Holland, stopping just near his cheek.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k3WHVf9hq
Holland felt an imminent threat to his life. He noticed that the kick was covered with green Weapower, and the fear made a few beads of sweat instantly appear on his cheek.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzDoiW4ydV
'Newcomer, you're quite impolite. Is this how you talk to your senior? Weapower is like breathing; once you learn it, you won't forget it.'
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoJtE38NMe
Holland realized that Johnny, who appeared carefree, was actually quite formidable. If he had seriously kicked him just now, his life would have been in danger. Fortunately, they weren't enemies, and he gained even more admiration for his seemingly wise and foolish senior.

'So, why did you become a Huntector?'
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndUFT6JVeY
'I want to protect my frail and sickly sister; she's my only family. And I hope to spread this love and contribute to protecting Grandecy.' Holland clenched his fist and looked down at the people in the shopping street from the city wall. In a short while, they had walked from the end of the city wall to the main gate.

On the Grandecy city wall, there were always two Huntectors leading twenty guards on duty. The guards were stationed at fixed points, while the Huntectors patrolled back and forth. Since the eastern side was the palace, and the north and south were mainly forests, three of the five Thunder Cannons were installed at the western main gate.

Johnny approached one of the Thunder Cannons and explained to Holland. Thunder Cannons were large artillery pieces developed by the Technical Research Institute specifically to protect the city. Initially, they were ordered by the king over a hundred years ago out of fear of a sudden Skullbreaker attack. However, they had never been used since their construction, leading the public to criticize the waste of resources.

Considering that it had already been built, they didn't dismantle it, and it continued to stand idle.
