Rebuild World: Volume II Part One: Users of the Old Domain
Akira is riding high after his successful rescue operation. With new gear and new friends, he’s ready for the next phase of his relic-hunting career. But Akira isn’t the only young hunter in the wastelands, and success might just paint a target on his back.
Katsuya, a rookie with the hunter syndicate Druncam, is desperate for recognition, but the veterans around him are more interested in Akira’s feats. Unaware of how much support Akira receives from the ghostly Alpha, Katsuya struggles to outdo his fellow up-and-comer, pushing himself and his friends into ever greater danger in the process. But just when it seems he’s pushed his luck too far, Katsuya has a mysterious encounter of his own.
When a major job throws these two young hunters together, Akira must come to grips with Katsuya’s one-sided rivalry while facing down a nest of new and deadly monsters.

After the monster wave in the previous volumes, the city sets out to build a new outpost. In between training Akira joins the efforts of the city to raise rank in the hunter's guild. Here he meets old friends and rivals, especially while dealing with an underground monster infestation.
The post-apocalyptic world with its odd technology, Akira and Alpha are the draw of this series to me. I am especially intrigued by Alpha's motivation even though I feel the author is going a bit too much out of their way in depicting Alpha's actions in a negative way by for example using "spying" where "observing" would have worked just as well. The somewhat slow pace and slice-of-life parts of training are a plus for me, although there is plenty of action in the later 60% of the book for those who want that. I am not an overly big fan of Katsuya's sections, but that is more of a personal dislike to switching points of view. They do seem to serve a point in giving a more regular view on Akira, and I assume that group is going to fulfil and important role later on in the series.
All in all, a good solid read and looking forward to the next part of the series (and I hope this series reaches a natural end with a decent number of volumes unlike some other LN series).
