My Last Hunt

Silver Class 22

What are the present steps?

The team cannot say much about the sudden actions of the team leader. They were not worried until now because the first incident was enough to make them trust his actions. He seemed well versed and learned about the stones and many other things. There was no other reason for them to make themselves believe him. The first incident where he did not walked forward for grabbing the stone. In blunt opinion; every team member jump at the stone as a hungry human catching last piece of burger. Later they were normally acting. In their eyes the team leader has reason for everything.

Now again he went and returned without saying a word. Qiao cannot remain stick to one idea; he was in this island and probably some day he might be sent for test trials. In that case he should have enough of information about the island. The senior taught him much and gave some pointers about how he should form acquaintance with various places. Different places gave off specific vibes which relate the overall notion of the land. It also express how the monsters living in this place level up and what he could expect during confrontation. It was meek pointer yet for Qiao it worth his attention.

"When we are going to climb back this crater? The air of this place feels ominous." Kaili was most dissatisfied. She did not like the creepers everywhere even falling on her head. "We will leave tomorrow after hunting one of the monster here. It will add to our better exposure of the crater and reputation as a team. And yes make sure you actively take part in the hunt next time else you might be blaming team leader for getting most chances with the hunt." Qiao spoke in a dry tone. In his eyes every team member should test his skills during hunt.

"I won't complain as long as I do not get a scar on my body. Scars fade the beauty of a woman." Kaili waved her hand carefree. Qiao coughed at her answer. He walked away looking at the surrounding and he should use it for his benefit. He was going to practice his skills. There was less time in the evening and he was getting familiar with the place. Kala also walked near him. His attention was to follow and practice.

Lama Lu elbowed the girl at her blunt answer. "Don't you know he is leading the team. If you offended him then he will throw you in front of the monster to let your body get number of scars. Then you will be happy right?" She used her sword and created various symbolic characters on the ground telling how she would be thrown in front of the monster. "I was only telling to not worry about my experience points." Kaili felt her throat get dry how the huntress warned her. She did not thought about this possibility. Now that it was explained she was scared.

"Remember you belong hunter's family and I know your elders would force you one day for level up or stop pampering then you will know eventually that nobody is considered good hunter without getting scars on his body." Lama Lu showed the scar on her neck. It happened so that monster used its claws and she was immature back then to dodge at perfect time. She barely made it and saved her life yet the big scar left behind reminding about the incident. Lama Lu stood up when she saw both hunters practicing their agility skill.

Kaili blinked her eyes at the words of the huntress. Her elder handed her responsibility to the responsible huntress Lama Lu until her stay in the island. The elder wanted her to face the hunting world with her own eyes. Kaili was the only girl in their family so they treasured her. Until now they did not force her learn by herself. However it was bound to happen that she would be forced sooner or later. The family cannot neglect their responsibility toward her. She must learn how to save herself from the cruelty of the world and the upcoming dangers.

"Brother Qiao; your skill surpass despite the fact that you are younger than mine." Kala was impressed seeing how smoothly team leader was moving from one place to another not making sliver of fluctuation in the surrounding. If this improve then the monster might not be able to tell the presence of him until he suddenly attack. The hunters vye for such level of agility, "It is the result of my level by level improvement. I mean I worked in every level and improved greatly. I am sure otherwise I would have been same like others." Qiao explained. There was no reason for him to hide it.

"Ah I lose the chance then." Kala spoke disappointed. "In my view you have yet to lose it unless you are dead however you are alive." Lama Lu came and added. She thought that learning never stops unless the hunter stop it intentionally. "Indeed; I agree with the huntress." Qiao nodded. He was a man of big heart and never considered others inferior. Disregarding something just because of the haughty behavior was another type of complex in the personality which he disliked to own it. Lama Lu nodded seeing the welcoming nature of the team leader.

Kaili stood up from her spot and reached near them. She was here to practice and learn. The words of the huntress hammered her heart; the changes were unavoidable and she cannot wait for the day when will be forced to accept it. Now this team was ready for a perfect team collaboration. Qiao was more than satisfied seeing this. He was working solely for level up and if he could bring some good changes in the hunters and influence his actions then there was no harm in it. The hunters have many flaws and the most fatal one was definitely not understanding right from wrong.
