South end of Schalrant State, abandoned village Hammel

On the day when the Sisemlia trade meeting began, a three-person team from the new Class 7 finally arrived at this abandoned village that was erased from the map after many inquiries.

When the three of them killed the monsters that were active due to the arrival of dusk and came to the square in front of Hammel Village, they unexpectedly met two young men and women wearing guerrilla light armor here.

“Huh?”

Under the reminder of the handsome black-haired man, the girl with a double ponytail with a stick on her back finally noticed the three somewhat vigilant children behind her.

"You are..."

At this time, in order not to be recognized, the new class seven had undergone a certain degree of disguise.

Not only did they take off the school uniforms of the second branch and change into casual clothes, but their respective hairstyles also made some minor changes.

Kurt's original blue and gray medium-length hair tied a small braid behind his head, Yuna's neat pink single ponytail turned into straight hair, and Elysee was combed into a side ponytail like Claya's style.

Among the trio, Kurt was the only boy. Facing these two strangers, he stood up with no choice.

"The two should be guerrillas, are we..."

Before Kurt could finish his words, the black-haired man smiled immediately and said, "Torz Second Branch, students from the Spy Department of Class 7... right?"

"You...who are you?!"

The anxious Yuna was exposed after being cheated. When Ailes failed to stop her, she had already taken her crutches off her waist.

"ha……"

Kurt sighed with a wry smile, and then took out his two swords and held them in his hands.

Ailes looked at the two guerrillas who were not malicious in front of him thoughtfully, and asked softly with some uncertainty, "Two... Could it be Miss Estile and Mr. Joshua?"

"oh?"

Joshua looked at the quiet lady unexpectedly, and soon a look appeared on his face.

"So that's it, it was Ryan who told you?"

"yes."

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief and signaled Yuna and Kurt to withdraw their weapons.

She politely saluted Estil, who was still a little confused, and said, "I'm glad to see you here. I've heard Mr. Reinhardt mention two of you many times."

“Hey?!”

Estil looked back and forth between Joshua and Elyshe as if he couldn't figure it out.

"Jothia, who is this? That hair color, you will have been separated for many years..."

Joshua spread his hands helplessly and said, "How is that possible..."

Yuna couldn't figure out the current situation for a long time, and kept a similar expression to Estil, looking at Alysie in a daze.

But Kurt showed a sudden expression when he heard Elyshe's inquiry.

"So that's it. My brother mentioned to me before two of them, the children of the young guerrilla who solved the mutated Liber and the sword saint Cassius Bright."

Joshua gently patted Estiel on the shoulder, reminding her to come back to her senses, and he politely said to Kurt, "I'm glad to know you, you are Mr. Mura's younger brother."

"Yes, in Kurt, my brother is Mura Vander."

"oh oh!"

Estil finally heard the familiar name and suddenly hammered his palm. "It turned out to be Mr. Mura's younger brother...but why does it look completely different?"

Kurt said with a wry smile, "Well... it's a long story. Let's talk slowly when you have the chance."

Estil nonchalantly showed a sunny smile, "Hehe~ It's right, although you probably know it, I'll introduce myself."

"Estile Brett, a B-class guerrilla to the Liberlorente branch."

"The same genius, Joshua Bright, a B-class guerrilla."

After the two sides reported their lives to each other, the five people walked to the village of Hamel.

After hearing the other party's purpose, Yuna shouted in surprise, "Hey? So you are here to find Ash?"

Joshua looked at the familiar scenery around him with a complicated expression, but he couldn't notice Yuna's problem for a while.

Estil replied with a smile, "Yes~ We were sent directly from Closebell by Ryan. The teleportation technique is really useful. I crossed a long distance to Schalrant State in a 'swish' moment."

Kurt said suddenly, "Ryan... means Duke Kane? Is the Duke safe? "

"Well, he was operating a huge red robot and jumping around, as if he had caught a big figure from Closebell."

"Stop!"

Joshua, who had been a little confused before, suddenly changed his face and reached out to signal the others to lower their posture.

“There are people ahead, and there are more than one.”

None of the five were rookies. After receiving Joshua's prompt, they immediately stopped their previous low conversation and quietly advanced with the help of Hamel's ruins.

A rough voice that clearly revealed anger came from the end of the ruins.

"...I said I won't go with you, don't you understand!"

Yuna and the other two looked at each other, "This is the voice of Ash!"

Joshua nodded calmly, "Sure enough, it seems that he is in trouble."

“Hmph~”

An exaggerated male voice that made Estil brow jump straight out, "Brother, don't say that. Whether you agree or refuse, you will take you away according to the orders we received."

"If you plan to resist, don't blame us for being too harsh to the child."

"Ha! Just right!"

Ash said with a gloomy face, "I'm in a very unhappy mood, come and have fun with me!"

After saying that, Ash held his long-handled chain axe and charged towards the opponent's team wearing hunter armor.

"Oh~"

Joshua looked at the blue-haired man who was the leader of the hunters and shook his head helplessly, "Kilbart Stein, I didn't expect that he was still in the strengthening hunter unit that was formed."

"snort!"

Estil clenched his fists, "Isn't that just right? I've long wanted to beat him up. The small character should have the awareness of the small character!"

"Don't care about him so much!"

The impatient Yuna rushed out with her gun, "Kurt, Alyshe! Let's go and support Ash, and you can't let him be captured by these weird uncles!"

The reinforced hunters sent to Hamel were only in size, with a total of less than 20 people.

Yuna and the other two suddenly rushed in from the side. Relying on quick training, the strengthened hunters who only passed the physical fitness level were in a hurry.

"Who are these guys?!"

"Stop them!"

Kilbart calmly commanded, "Don't be in trouble! Just three young boys, bring them together... eh?"

When Kilbart saw Estil coming towards him with a kind smile, his expression froze.

“Hmph~”

Estil held the stick in his hand and knocked his shoulder, and said with a smile on his face, "Kilbart, I haven't seen each other for three years since I left the country of Shadow? You still can't get on the table."

"Estile Bright!"

Kilbart looked at the sun's daughter who was getting closer in panic, "For... why are you here?"

"No!"

Kilbart took a deep breath as if he was calm, "I am now very different from three years ago. I have received strict training in association, and Kilbart Stein has been reborn!"

"Come on! Guerrillas, this time with the help of my companions, I must...hey?"

While Kilbart was fighting his mentally, all the strengthened hunters around him had fallen.

Joshua, who had just left the Phantom Raid, appeared from behind Kilbart, and stretched out a short knife and put it on his neck with a boring look on his face.

"Okay, let's talk, what do you want to do when you go to this abandoned village?"
