My Last Hunt

Enrollment Test 6

Let's hunt it together

They surrounded the monster and got confused what to do now. Attacking with formation can be considered hunting but the random attacks and the movements of the monster make it mess of hunting. It also cause few of them lose track and get injured which was unfavorable thing. This way none would survive in the end from damage. Half of the team has already gone back after getting damage. The remaining might face another round of mess and repeat telecast of the previous episode unless the form collaboration this time. They were looking at each other puzzled what to do. 

Their ego hinders them from collaborating while the fear says otherwise. "What are we waiting for?" a hunter took courage and asked. "We all know that it would be similar again yet no one wanted to follow the team spirit. In my eyes you all not deserve to be part of prestigious place like Hunting School. You should go back and learn the hunting fundamentals first." The hunter perhaps was disappointed about these hunters. He was venting out his frustration. They silently heard and sighed. What should they do? Let others advance? No one was willing to sacrifice his slot for other. 

"If you are that wonderful then hold the lead and hunt it; we will follow you." A hunter spoke sarcastic. The difference was apparent this time. Previously hunters leapt at the monster without thinking anything; this time they were careful to not get trampled and get damage. This said no one stepped ahead for the attack until this hunter voiced. Now they were ready to hear the argument however the hunter who voiced accepted. "I can lead but you have to care about your safety. The monster is aware about our presence and it is going to escape, first stop it from escaping and then courageous three hunters distract the monster from front." the hunter voiced his first round of instructions. He wanted to see whether all were ready to hear him or not. The hunters followed his words and rushed to surround the monster first. It was escaping thinking that the hunters were not in mood of hunting else they would have attacked until now. It was good for a monster to escape from the hands of hunters as long as the hunter has legs to escape. Soon the hunter used their means and surrounded the monster. 

The distance was not much and they caught it before escape. Three hunters came in front; one of them was Qiao. Many hunters prefer to attack rather than confront the monster straightaway. It was problematic and required dexterity. It was said that the wrath of attacks by others was usually showered on the hunter who was facing from front. So taking this anger head was difficult. Qiao has much experience in this regard especially when he wanted to observe something or he was interested to do it. Both aspects give benefit. The hunters who were observing Qiao got a sliver shock. They thought that he was only looking for opportunity. 

An experienced hunter who suggested the other for lead he was the one observing Qiao from the beginning. He was expecting this type of attitude. For Qiao it was the safest place none of the hunter would think to backstab him in his ignorance. Half of them wanted to see him dead already and he cannot fulfill their wish for the time being. They can wait for this to happen in future if Qiao lost the limited time. Most of them got in action ready to follow the orders. 

The temporary leader gestured for attack while the three hunters reached in front of the monster. The monster saw their weapons shining and ready to attack. It took a blunt movement of its long legs and attacked the three hunters standing in front. The same time leader gestured three hunters to attack from various sides without wasting time. The three hunters nodded and jumped at the huge monster. Their weapons brushed past the body of the monster at different times. Meantime Qiao moved to avoid the leg attack of the monster by back jumping. His responsibility was to keep the monster engage. The other two saw the huge leg coming to them and ran. 

Qiao did not bother to stop them; he only cared experience and confrontation which could bring benefits in return. The rarest thing was to defeat the overbearing aura of the monster. Mostly it was the least thing which the hunters tempered. The aura of huge body normally overlaps the expectations and it was horrible to loss the self-control in the middle of the battle. The hunters were strong and powerful complementing their levels but what was the lacking? It was the monstrous aura which was hard to defeat in times of crises. 

Qiao was tempering this aura from now on. He felt the need to temper this aspect of hunting. He noticed the difference of level five monster and the level six monster. The aura differs greatly. A tired or exhausted hunter can easily get overwhelmed by this aura. It seemed covering the surrounding area and controlling the movements of weak living around. His observation was based on excellent reflection. The others were focusing on the hunt while Qiao was committing another aspect. He barely saved himself from the huge feet. The aura was trying to control his movements. 

One of the attacks brushed past and it failed to leave the injury. The second attack fairly met the target because the hunter was much focused. The third hunter got frightened in the middle of attack and fell near the monster. He got baffled and stepped back saving himself. The leader voiced again. "Do not stop; come forward with the intentions of real attack like a hunter. Those who fear stay away." He furiously gave instruction this time. The one who failed remained back and did not dare to come for another attack.
