My Last Hunt

Bargain 2

The price is acceptable

Their conversation kept going and they could hear flapping of wings sometimes in the empty sky of the Hightown. The Rank Masters were also on their duty. The Hightown can be taken as the center of seven continents and if the epicenter cannot maintain the pace then it was time of worry for all. The Rank Masters were taking flights at the various directions of the Hightown and the entrances surveying the surrounding as well as the teams on guard. Every guard team was level eight. It was to let the enemies know that Hightown was not sleeping at all. 

These two hunters agreed to favor each other. First Qiao wanted to test if he could heal then he can relate what price he has thought in his head. There was no need to mistrust the higher level hunter and in fact no reason too; considering the previous interaction. "You can mention any incident where the problem might have originated first according to your observation." Qiao asked. For him healing was a scientific process but he cannot tell this to the hunter. The explanation would not bring any benefits. The incident perhaps could bring a clue as to how the options can be used for understanding the problem. 

"My mother told that when I was an infant a beast happened to break the safety wall and kept howling inside the town until the guardians appeared. The beast's howling is different from monsters. Being normal infant human it shrilled my consciousness leaving the scar behind." Dachin explained. This was the reason that all those years the hunters and humans equally mocked his struggle. They said it was useless. None can survive yet he did. He reached to this level. Now this scar was hindrance in taming a beast. 

The beasts take advantage of this scar and try to deceive him and then ambush. Being a higher level learned hunter he always killed them in return of this trickery. How long he could keep this. The time was flying and in next hundred years he would lose chance for the test trials of Hunter King. Qiao heard and nodded. The scar not only prompted the first layer of consciousness in fact it stickied to his sentiments. "It seemed I can solve this problem." Qiao stood up and voiced. He was ready to examine the patient in a very professional way. 

Checking through the pulse he was able to reach the root of injury. It was part of first layer so a simple go through would mop the scar one thing that he needed maudlin or emotional treatment too. It was type of treatment which could directly influence the sentimental disobediences. The long lasted scar left this type of strange disobediences for his brain to develop with the time. It caused the hunter lose control his command over the brain orders for a creature. Qiao was able to exactly diagnose because he fought the powerful stone not long ago. He had gone through much and now he possessed a powerful brain and consciousness. 

His commands were stronger and he could easily order a beast after reaching level seven minimum. His cemented energy flowed through and reached the scar. There was not visible interruption since they were sitting in the training room without any external or internal threat. The stones were also providing enough source of unseen aura. It was said that an active stone was considered an entity in itself giving out the needed energy. Dachin relaxed not letting his fearsome aura disturb the healing and also scare the 'doctor'. 

"I have seen many go with the demand of the hunting or for some time shook off the self-rules for the sake of benefits. It is normal however I liked to get acquainted with atypical for instance 'You'." Qiao voiced. His emotional healing also started with these words. Those who chose strict paths always felt alone because of the circumstances. It was possible that they disliked the schemers or cheaters. This increased their loneliness. The hunting world was no exception. Here most of them became friends with others for the benefits. Few of them cheat when it needed. This way the focused and ambitious hunters remain lone 'Pullers'. [* 'Pullers' I tend to introduce and invent this term from now on. If I wrote another story then I will introduce it as something more open]

It can never be easy for a Puller to go through all hurdles in life. That's why Qiao respected them and wished to get acquainted; he himself was no exception and comes under the term. His words would let the hearing experience which the hunter might rarely have encountered before. Having bro-hood in life of hunting can be called a blessing and it unswervingly influences the thought process bring freshness for the active consciousness.

"I am indeed glad to hear this. No matter wherever in the seven continents you ask for my help I will come and stand by your side." The hunter was exceptionally happy. He not once took his levels on his head and looked down upon other hunters. For him to get a sincere friend was better than having a stronger trickster. "Your scar is healed." Qiao voiced. A drop of sweat fell from his forehead. 'Doctoring with the consciousness is tough so this is why psychiatrists take piles of money for every session' Qiao thought in his head. 

"What?" the hunter could only utter one word which carried all his emotions and concerns. "It is indeed. You can test it." Qiao sat on the chair with ease and waved his hand. He was not in condition to explain. First he needed some soothing on his temple. The hunter saw his silence and thought to test on his own. He has a stone with him which did not get activated because it was part of a beast and his commands did not work on beasts. The hunter walked out of the room. 

There in another room he stood gripping the stone in his hand.
