Chapter 3: The 1st Skill
The hunter watch also has the bank account details that was just created for me by Uncle Jon who is helping me with the registration. This account already has a 5000 credits as a welcome gift from the Hunter's Guild.
It also has a storage space that is 10x10 meter space which I can use to store my armors, shields, weapons, the raw materials from the monsters I hunt, herbs and plants I gather in the wild.
I can't store any living things in the storage and it also has a very limited space that can easily overflow. I will have to save some credits and buy a better version of the hunter watch as it is just the basic model provided to the newly awakened hunters by the Hunter's Guild.
After copying the contacts from my holo communicator to the hunter watch, I checked the contents of the hunter watch as it will also have 1 basic skill I can learn and use with the limited energy I have.
Since I have been already added in the government records as an Air element hunter, the skill I got is related to it. It is 'AIR ARMOR' which will create a thin transparent layer of condensed air around me.
I will read it when I get back home. I will have to understand it and practice it so it will be added as a skill in my system so I can use it with ease and perfection.
"Ask your father to check the hunter watch Alex. He will be able to find and fix, if there are any design flaws or issues with it." Uncle Jon said to me after allowing me to check the hunter watch for a few minutes.
Now the registration is done, I can leave the defence wall of Havet and go hunting in the wild. But I will be a fool to go out without any skills or knowledge about my fighting side of the element.
My mother and myself left the Hunter's Guild by 11:00 am. Instead of going home we went in a different direction. My mother rode her bike with swift and stopped only when we reached a restaurant.
It is 'Hunter's Haven' the best restaurant in our part of the town. I could see Zaana and my father are already inside the restaurant waiting for us.
"Happy Birthday my dear little brother." Zaana wished me when I entered the restaurant making me feel awkward as many people present there turned to look at me.
I just smiled uncomfortably at her as I can't blame her for her childish behaviors. She is one of a kind woman who will try to do what she thinks is best for her and family.
She always stands up for what she thinks is good and right. She never backs down from it and will never give up, in what she wants to do. It is the best character of her I like the most.
"Happy Birthday Alex." I heard a voice from behind me with a tap on my shoulder. It is Tariq, my sister's boyfriend. He is also an archer working with my mother as a local security.
I nodded with a smile thanking him for his wish and went to sit on the table they have reserved for the lunch. This is the restaurant I like in Havet and I feel happy to celebrate my birthday with my family here.
After the lunch, they gave me my birthday present which is far better than what I expected. It is an armor from my parents and Zaana gave me a sword, both are grade E.
The armor is a full sleeve blue color leather armor with a pair of gloves and shoes. It also has a white sleeveless jacket for extra protection on the upper part of the body.
The leather armor has a thin coating of the finest metal 'Almba' on it while the jacket has a thick coating. It also has the auto-fit feature, so I don't have to worry about it's size which is currently looking like a small toy clothes in my hands.
The sword is a 2 and a half feet blade with a 20 inch handle. This sword is also made using Almba. I can use it as a single handed or dual handed depending on the situation. It has a red color blade with gold color handle.
After checking my gifts, I stored it inside the hunter watch. We are not allowed to wear the armor or have weapons inside the defence wall unless a horde is upon us and we are about to fight it.
Once I reached home, I went to room and closed the door. I didn't lock it as it will make my parents worry, my sister the most. I activated the hunter watch and opened the skill 'AIR ARMOR' to read it.
A hologram appeared in front of me from the hunter watch which displayed 8 pages of how the skill works and how to use it. It took me 20 minutes to read it. Now I will have to understand it so I can start using it and practice it.
This skill will be very useful to me as it will not only create an armor for extra protection, but will increase my attack and speed.
My attack and defence will increase by 5% while my speed will increase by 15%. And the best thing is this skill will use only 1 energy for every 15 minutes giving me almost 2 hours to continuously use this skill.
I continued reading and understanding the skill for the next 3 days. In these 3 days, I only came out of my room to eat and ask for any doubts that created issues in understanding the skill.
The hunter watch also has the hologram video of a man of 45 years old who explained the skill in detail, but I didn't see it as it will make me understand it in someone else's perspective and not my own.
After 3 days of tireless reading and understanding, I have learnt the skill. I also used it once, but it was active only for a few seconds before collapsing.
