My Last Hunt

Silver Class 50

Qiao looked at the pouch. If he was not wrong then the hunter use such pouch for keeping the stones. "This is your sources for the hunt. You can use them as you like. In case the monster is peak level six then you might use these stones for attacks depending on your choice." The elder gestured and Qiao picked the pouch. He was slightly amazed. Perhaps the Hunting was too generous or they were reserved about him; in any case he was glad. From now on; he could forget worrying about stones, weapons and lodge too; steady progress was the only requirement.

It was similar of securing scholarship for the bright students in return of excellent grades and pulling up the name of the institute among others. Now the elder came out of the boothe and gestured his assistant. The assistant brought a group of three level six hunters. "They will follow your orders as long as you work perfectly. You have one week for killing the said monster. The mentioned place is the nearest continent in the north. The rest of information has been attached to the paper. It is up to you whether you wanted to start your journey today or tomorrow however in case of late response you will be punished accordingly." The elder uttered last words and went back.

Qiao felt something off however he was glad after knowing that he was not sent faraway for the Class Test. The team formed and he was the leader. "Are all of you ready?" Qiao asked. He observed their behavior and attitude to know more about them. Before setting on the journey of one week; the most important was to check who was the companion and what were his attentions. They nodded. They seemed normal with the common interests of hunting; not much enthusiasm show up on their faces.

Qiao went through the map and the directions. The path was simple; after leaving through the said exit. The former forest where he wandered for the recruitment test; from their he could find the way to enter the Deserted Town. In words this area was nearest for Hightown however it was part of the next continent and it has its own characteristics. The town was not initially deserted until one of the monster ended up there and refuse to return back in the forest. The report was sent one week ago.

The activities in the Hightown were in the peak so the mission was delayed. Half of the population migrated toward the next town until the special team clear it for them. It was unusual for monster hide in the town but seeing that they population was sparse and the conditions were perfect; the monster chose temporary den. Knowing that it was nearest with the Hightown; the guard teams were not appointed there. The retired elders look after the population. They could scare monster with their attacks but not hunt. The stones shined and the monster escape fearing the hunt.

It was normal method keeping the monsters at safe distance. While for hunting a proper team

needed and appropriate collaboration. Qiao had brief explanation about the characteristics of the monster and it was clearly a rare type. For a level six peak monster hide among humans was unheard unless it did not develop intellect which was impossible. They headed toward the destination and exited. Qiao was familiar with some part of the forest. The intentions of the elder was clear. The team members were only for show. Qiao had been anticipating for the earlier Class Test so it was his test not the otherwise.

And there was one more responsibility look after the team members not exactly look after but he should not send them in front of danger out of whim. It was good in a way that he was going for hunting with independent force. Also the best thing that it was the third rare monster that he would face. The experience hunting the rare monster has secondary importance. Facing a rare monster matters most. It brought some fresh wave of threats and how to stand in front firmly. Qiao checked a stone from the pouch. It was attack type with the red vague line in the middle of the pearl.

Qiao kept it safely and hung around the waist. He did not want to use the stone for now before checking the situation. Perhaps using stone might collapse half of the buildings in the two. This would not look nice for the people. They would be blaming Hightown for sending such horrible team for hunt. Qiao was running in the middle of the forest and team members were following behind. They were caught in a mess when Qiao voiced gesturing them make the pace hurried.

They thought that the team leader would take his easy time hence the town was not somewhere else but in the nearest continent. Here Qiao rushed like a level seven hunter. His pace was faster. The enthusiasm can be witnessed. It was all to check the new weapon as well as explore another town. 'Such a short life and long way to run' he murmured under his breath. He could tell how a hunter felt after running this way however he cannot use the same method by leaping through the vines of plants. He was no more fragile. His body shaped up and grown to the fullest after reaching peak level six.

His weight increased similar to that of wrestlers. The broad chest and the fueled biceps emit strength and force. It was enough for increasing the movement. The weapon in his hand shone bright texture as it met some rays of the day light. The team members already witnessed the difference between the behavior of this team leader and the others. They were part of third grade hunters in the Hunting School so anytime the elders could hire them for hunting under the guidance of stronger hunter.

They were supposed fight for the experience points instead they follow orders least to their capacity.
