As i woked up from my sleep of 8-9 hours, I got up To brush my teeth.
" Ahhh.... Why couldn't i sleep longer" I said in a disappointed voice.

" Here I was thinking that i can be overpowered, Tchh " I brushed my teeths, And started to go to shower.

" Why the heck you gotta be so bad bro? "

After Getting ready, I was on my way to the hunters association, Then I heard a voice in alley.
" P.. pls.... Let me go "
" Then, Give us that crystal boi"
" Don't you think that it is a bit unfair to gang up on a single person? " I said In a arrogant voice
" Who the F*** Are you boy " Said a man with giant muscles, Green eyes and Black hair with some scars on his face wearing casual clothing.
" Oh. Me? I am just a guy that was chilling a moment ago " I said, As i was going into a fighting stance.
" Ohh you wanna fight, Big boy ? " Said a guy behind them with Blue hair and black eyes.
" Bro, That sounds so gae " Another guy said, He was not looking younger that me.
" Shut UP " Said the guy with the Big muscles, Seeing the authority he had over them, He was probably the leader.
" Yeah i do "
" Then, Let's fight "
A guy from my left was trying to attack me, But i blocked his attack and in the process, Stole his skill.
[Skill Stolen]
Harden Skill - Rank : E
Effects : Temporarily increases skin durability

As i stole his skill, I used it and punched him in the jaw, Others were shocked as how was he able to knock there tank, " A E rank skill? What a waste ".
Another guy tried to attack me, However, I dodged it, But then, He used his skill and launched some fire on me, As soon I noticed it, It has attacked me letting my guard down, Then he tried to punch me in the stomach, and as it landed i was quiet injured.
[Skill Stolen]

" Oh. A elemental Skill? How good" I thought to myself
I used Ember palm and Conjured it into a needle and launched it, It hit him letting his guard down and used Harden skin at my Knuckles and knocked him render less.
" That guy has a similar ability as Jack, " Thought the big guy " Everyone attack him at once! "
He used his skill and as I tried to block it, It injured my hand " Tch " I used Harden skn to block his next attack however.
[Effect - Nimble Activated]
The Host can not use any skill for 10 seconds
" Ahh " I screamed from my lungs as he attacked me, Then I tried to use Harden skin but
[Not enough Mana].
I was not surprised at hearing that as i used my skills many times, So it was to be expected, I launched an attack at his stomach, But he blocked, Then I used my strength and launched an attack using all my strength at his chin, It was enough to knock him renderless.
" He, He beat Zack! " One of the remaining man said in a swetty and Shocked Face.
They tried to ran so i let them, I asked the Guy that was being bullied what had happened, He told me that he was just going home when he heard some people Speaking in the alley, He couldn't see where they were, So he got curious and tried to go to see who was it? then he got jumped and that was what led to this.
" I am Jin woo, Thanks for saving me " Said the boy
" Me , I am Lee Joon. nice to meet ya, What is your ability? " I asked the boy
" My ability is Called Switch, It allows me To switch places with any object or person near 5 meters of me, It isn't that strong, It has a cooldown of 1 min " Said Jin woo In a exciting voice.
" Can you allow me to follow you, I want to be part of your team, Pls. " Said the boy in a cute and lovely voice
" Yeah sure, But I am going to register so we will meet again then bye " I waved back to the boy in tge alley.
" Bye " He waved to me too.
The streets of Astrea, Capital of the hunter- Dominated country ' Balar ', Were as busy as ever, Neon signs Showed Skill advertisements, Dungeon alerts buzzed through the public streets, and Hunters in flashy gear strutted down the walkways like Celebrities.
I took a breath and stepped into the colossal white structure – The Astrea Hunters Association Headquarters. The interior was just as sleek as the outside, Glass walls, Digital directories, and rows of waiting hunters gave the building a modern yet militarized atmosphere.
An automated panel near the Entrance scanned me.
[Welcome to the Astrea Hunters Association]
If you are here to register as a new hunter, Proceed to counter 7.
I walked up to Counter 7 where was a blonde woman with sharp gold eyes waited. She looked calm but firm, Probably used to hot headed rookies to impress her.
" Tell me your name " She asked in a Angry however an kind voice
" Lee Joon " I answered truthfully
" Tell me your skill and rank " She asked in a calm and firm voice, Pretty different to the first sentence she said.
I hesitated. The truth was, My real skill ' Steal ' Was on a cooldown of 20 minutes after Stealing the C rank skill. I couldn't afford to register an skill that I myself didn't have the information about.
" Skill : Bone Knuckle
Rank : C "
" You are pretty lucky, You have gotten a C rank skill at your Awakening" She replied, In a sarcastic and envious voice
" Hahahah.. Thanks " I said
