My Last Hunt

Silver Class 41

Stolen Aura can be dangerous for hidden identity

Qiao and the senior did not stop anywhere during the journey until night fell. The cold and the snow remained accumulating under their feet. They were two level six hunters and traveling a place filled with the level six monsters was not safe mush though Qiao had reached level six peak however in front of group of monsters; he will be the same. "Let's wait till morning. Moreover half of journey is cleared; we will reach next day by late morning." Ogman gestured a cave and voiced. Qiao was in no hurry in fact he was eyeing his surrounding in case a wandering monster caught his eyes. 

…

The wicked hunter wanted his men in the mainstream. His intentions were taking over Hightown after getting done with the young man and becoming the next master of the 'Token of Death' this token could seal the death and its master could live longer. He was more than confident that the young hunter would not be able to reach higher levels and face him like a true opponent. The time left was short and the young hunter only reached level six. Wicked hunter was well versed with the complex system of the Hightown. 

He was sure that he cannot make believe any of the elder about his liability of the class. The elders critically observe the hunters before agreeing for Class Test. They usually delay every class Test from one month to three month while the young hunter has total two months and twenty days left. A single Class Tests takes three months while he was only level six. It would be exaggerated saying if someone claimed that he could do the impossible task. In his eyes it was not mere impossible but unbelievable feat never heard before. 

Believing that the young hunter would die sooner or later; his attention was fixated on how to let the disloyal hunters get selected for the stronger positions in the Hightown. He was able search some of the names which he had been following for some time. They were evil hidden in their hearts. Nobody will ever have imagined how cruel and ruthless they can be against the weaklings. Letting them grab on the important positions in the Hightown meant that they would welcome his anarchy as soon as he became the Hunter Monarch. 

The Token of Death was enough set his superiority over others. With the number of years he has collected many rare stones which were powerful enough to bent down the heads of so called loyal hunters of the seven continents. These loyal hunters make sure the Rule of the humans should not get in the evil hands. Well he was hidden behind the shadows ready shatter the fancy of those loyals. The method of the Test Trials was simple. The hunters were given few tasks according to the respected position they presented themselves for the acceptance. Only two or three positions were strongest and the candidate must have to fill the task in the field in any of the continent killing the requested monster. 

The time limit was shortest for example a retired hunter king was required to kill a level eight monster within three hours no matter what distance or territory it reside. Three hours were not much for a lower level hunter but for a Hunter King; it was similar time span of three days. They could rush against the wind and close distance in a matter of moments. 

Their skills were of highest grade. It was a small task as long as the monster cooperate which was much difficult most of the times. Imagine a monster of level eight with the two fold force against a human and the hunter of level eight peak. There was no doubt that a Hunter King was considered stronger but against a monster it was same. It depends on luck and fate how incredibly the Hunter King can defeat or kill the monster. Wicked hunter wanted holds on this chance and help two or three stronger hunters. One of them was going to become the Lord of the Hunting School and two of them were fighting for the position of Rank Masters. 

It will appear as dream come true if the hunters of similar evilness get selected for those positions then no one can stop him from snatching the Rule of the Hightown. 

…

"I never heard about the beasts; why are they threat for the Hightown?" Qiao has seen many monsters and the senior hunter gave some hints about the beasts still he was curious why beasts were considered real threat. "The human form of the beasts is vague; they appear complete human thus deceiving the hunters. If a beast happened to get inside the Hightown then it will definitely let others follow up. The time when the strongest position will vacant is the time can bring threat. Empty position can be taken by a beast without the hunters aware about it. The reason is that the beast aura differs from the monsters and the normal hunters cannot differentiate this aura." Ogma Lu shrugged his shoulders. 

There were many incomplete aspects of the hunters which they cannot compete with. It was said that a hunter was able learning the difference but he was killed during a mission and the culprit was unknown. 

Most of the hunters believed that the beasts were able to know about his capability; they chased and killed him. The Hightown could not do anything because it was the doing of a higher level disloyal hunter who broke this secret to the beasts. That specific hunter was still missing and the Hightown has no clue about his presence. The Hightown gave permission for a hidden mission before the event of recruitment start. The mission was to search the missing hunter and then punish him for the crime. Qiao heard and nodded now he has more than one clue about how he should force the elders according to his actions.
