In a distant landscape with a snowy climate we can find the second largest city of Asuka... The city Yukihana Known for being a restricted and powerful Clan, it is currently commanded by the 14th head of the family Yukiko Yukihana, a tyrant carrying two 3rd Level marks the Mark of Water and the Mark of Snow which are normally inherited.
We see Yukiko Yukihana sitting in the meeting hall next to her Husband Sui Yukihana and the most noble people in the city... To break the ice Yukiko says "My son is alive and he is the last salvation of the clan even though we removed him from the city we can make him marry a noblewoman from the city to continue the Yukihana lineage" the man agitated to know that his first son was alive disagrees with his wife's opinion with the argument "We both exiled him from the village we can very well declare him criminal and give the title of chief to his younger brother" The nobles complain and say that even though the second son has clan marks, he is strange, besides brutally murdering criminals and that that boy is more like a predator instead of a boss. Yukiko upon hearing this has an idea "If he is a predator we will give him prey" Sui is confused and questions but before he finishes speaking Yukiko interrupts him and says "Noro's target will be his own older brother" the silence is installed in the meeting room and the nobles applaud when they know that they now have a solution without having to spend resources...
We cut back in time and see a young man looking in the mirror, he has white hair, fair skin, sapphire eyes and most importantly, his Yukihana lineage gives him the name Noro Yukihana, the ruthless bounty hunter.
Returning to Hinosca, Hikari quickly wakes up holding Onoko ready to battle after feeling a bad feeling from Katana and decides to leave for the guild's training camp complaining that she can't rest because the bed feels like stone.
As he goes down he hears a familiar voice fighting with someone, it was Eto Yaruzu fighting with a... A beggar? Hikari approaches and asks who the scoundrel was who was trying to rob Eto, Mendingo feels obliged to introduce himself "hey, my name is Yoshimura, nice to meet you Snow Walker" Hikari, upon hearing this, feels uncomfortable but remembers the Yoshimura who was stopped by the guards at the entrance to Hisnosca because he didn't have money to pay the capital's tax.. Yoshimura explains that he works as a Daggermen and he is fighting with Eto because she doesn't want to turn her diamonds into daggers for him.. . Hikari questions Yoshimura about how he obtained diamonds and he explains that it was with his 1st Level Ore Mark... Eto interrupts Hikari's reasoning to say that Yoshimura was a crook and that the minerals he produced in the 1st level Levels at some point disappear and before Hikari asks the logic of this, Yoshimura challenges our protagonist to a training duel and whoever wins will win new equipment sponsored by Eto, Eto can't even agree but Hikari accepts the challenge.

°High about one meter and fifty (has already stopped growing)
°She is 14 years old but is extremely skilled in blacksmithing
°Her character makes her a person who gets angry easily
°Want to Reach the 3rd Level of the Blacksmith's Mark
The fight begins and in a single movement Hikari unsheathes Onoko and channels a beam of light into her, but Yoshimura was faster in dodging and creating a wall of diamond, as soon as the beam of light ends Yoshimura removes the diamond and turns it into small blades to attack Hikari thinks that even though he is 1st Level, his experience and reaction time make him Hikari's main enemy.
Hikari uses it after remembering the speed of the wind fairy of the occultist boss, he is able to accelerate at the same speed as her without getting burned for the first time, in addition to now being able to follow Yoshimura's defense movements, however, when he was ready to bring his sword closer to the enemy's neck he reveals himself to be a diamond statue manipulated by the original body that was undone for a long period of time before Hikari understands Yoshimura jumps on his back with a dagger ready to win and... Hikari only turns his back to dodge the attack by doing the Mendingo falls to the ground and loses the duel...
Yoshimura decides to just accept that he lost an item made by Eto and says that he will now finish his registration with the guild...

Eto, Hikari and Yoshimura meet at the smithy to meet Hikari's reward, Eto says "Come on, uncle, I don't have time, choose what you want me to do or take it away soon" Hikari says he needs two things, the first is his Katana Onoko was improved and that Eto accompanies him on guild missions since they are registered as adventurers. Eto thinks about it and accepts, but Hikari will have to be responsible for the group's savings. Hikari doesn't mind and agrees to make a contract at the guild, before leaving Eto asks Yoshimura if he would like to help them in the group, he initially refuses after learning that the mission reward would be divided between them, our favorite beggar accepts get together.

It's the darkest night of the entire month, it's so dark that not even the moonlight can illuminate it properly, at night we see a cold spread and fog engulfs the city... We see Noro on top of a building locating his target, he arrived very faster using Wolves With the Runified Mark of Physical enhancement arriving in just eighteen hours of travel.
After locating the guild, he breaks into a house and kidnaps the old owner of the room to the trapdoor and quickly eliminates him without leaving a trace. However, Noro watches through the window and sees Hikari watching him with a threatening look and prefers to wait and get to know the city before making strategies.
Dawn breaks and we see Hikari, Yoshimura and Eto at the guild reception to definitively register the group. In a relaxed way Eto says "guys, let's put a good name like...." Yoshimura interrupts and says "Lonely Vagabonds" Eto gets extremely irritated and says that "Flaming Anvils" would be much better... Without understanding the situation Hikari only ignores them and puts the group's name on hold to be changed after the first mission Yoshimura and Eto just ignore this and leave it for later.
The group decides to go on a mission to eliminate Forest Foxes whose reward was 18 Silver Crowns for each member of the group Yoshimura is happy because living in the capital has a ten times higher profit rate than in his hometown, Hikari also agrees that the capital is incredible while Eto complains that in her blacksmith shop she earned much more money a day, but they arrive in the forest and see the Foxes... They quickly regroup to attack the trio, Eto understands the situation and quickly forges using her brand to Take your favorite weapon, a battle ax, and defeat a fox, but your ax starts to break because you haven't used enough iron to save money. Ignoring this fact, Hikari uses Onoko to defeat two mutant forest foxes, Yoshimura decides to protect the other two to protect them and also creates a diamond tower to jump and destroy from within a small group of foxes that separated from the main group and the eliminates. After the victory, the group goes out and collects all the tails, but when trying to collect the tails they realize that they were not simple forest foxes, they were puppies of the forest chief Kitsune... Suddenly an earthquake happens and the Kitsune appears but she is weak. it's a 3-tailed one Eto asks Yoshimura to create a diamond defense and Yoshimura says "I was already going to do that, you dwarf" Eto complains and says that she's not a dwarf and meanwhile Hikari is slicing the blows at the same speed as a fairy of the wind causing the Kitsune to destabilize... Eto decides to sacrifice all his iron stored in his mark to create his most improved Ax for Bāsa by slicing one of the tails while Yoshimura and Hikari advance against the beast... Thirty minutes pass and the trio continues attacking but when they were close to defeating it they hear a voice that is a little familiar to Hikari, it was the second guard but he was wearing a... ballerina outfit? In addition to having a mechanical prosthesis in place of his lost arm, this same man screams and says "Thank you for leaving the forest chief with little energy!"
When he raises his hand to form a pact with his Mark of the Beast Tamer he... Fails because he doesn't have enough percentage to make a pact... After that he gets a serious face and falls with it to the ground... All They even look at Kitsune in confusion. Hikari takes advantage of the situation to cut off the forest chief's three tails and she becomes a base Kitsune, looking at this, the former guard tries again to make the pact and succeeds, however, when trying to summon the Kitsune, she does not obey him because what almost finished her was the Hikari.. The guard then introduces himself and says that his name is Hoan and says that because of Hikari he was dismissed from work for an indefinite period of time because he was considered a weak tamer even though he was among the ten strongest in all of Hisnosca, ignorantly the Yoshimura says "a former guard is greedy like a beggar when he sees a plate of food" Hoan begins to present clear evidence that this comment destabilized him but ignores it, but Eto asks Hoan why he wears a ballerina outfit and Hoan says that when the they dismissed him, he had to give everything he had to pay the costs of the armor that Hikari broke, which he was not to blame and now he only had this outfit saved because it was considered worthless... Hikari decides that since they can't help him and he captured the boss, you can go to the guild and rescue their mission to defeat the Foxes and the mission to defeat the Kitsune in the forest...
