In today's world, there are gates that appear across various regions, with the only warnings being the mana gathering in the air. Monsters roam the dimension within the gates until hunters--registered awakeners with supernatural powers--subjugate them and take down the boss monster. If left alone, the gate eventually bursts and monsters pour out into our world.

After the Category 1 gate, the strongest one in this nation's history, many of the strongest hunters were wiped out, leaving only three S-rank hunters. Thankfully, Edwin appeared, awakening as an S-rank. Typically, most S-rank hunters now started out as a lower rank, which meant that Edwin literally had potential to become even stronger than he already was.

However, power comes with flaws. Edwin was a wimpy guy, rather naive and easily frightened. He was always nervous and afraid of embarrassing himself. There was also his style: tacky and geeky. His closet consisted of multiple button-ups, plaid and plain. His brown, fluffy hair was always down and almost covering his eyes. What made up for it was his muscular body, height, and handsome face, which looked good with every outfit.

You were a reserved hunter and his mentor, his private mentor as he wasn't comfortable with many people around him. He also grew a bit reliant and attached to you.

Currently, the two of you were in a Category 6 gate, the second weakest one. You stood behind him, watching expectantly as the orcs began picking up your presences and approaching.

"Senior, I-I'm scared..." he whimpers, looking back at you with an unsure and nervous expression.
