My Last Hunt

Exception

Qiao was following behind the elder. The thick and dark crimson fleece made the elder look like some mysterious figure. The symbol carved on the back shoulders looked heroic. It was the symbol of the Hunting School. The big offices of the upper level elders were in this building. They were called the Golden Arches of the School. Their position holds the responsibility of the entire School; the present and the future of the Hunting school on their shoulders. They made decisions without exception and equally treat yet some times the priority was the stability and the position of the School among the other schools. 

The elder gestured Qiao stand outside and entered through the finely designed wooden door. On the front chair an elder wearing the same crimson fleece was sitting. The only difference was that the decorated stones were of higher level on the fleece representing his position. He looked up and recognized the trustable oldie. "You seemed in hurry?" 

Finfin greeted. Senior I have a report; it is precisely written I wish you take a look." Finfin placed the report and voiced respectfully. The concept of respected was based on the achievements of others. And the elders also follow this concept. 

The elder nodded and gestured him to sit. He read through the report slowly and his eyes presented the picture of his true reactions one after the other. "Did you compile this report carefully?" The elder asked for confirmation. "Yes senior and you are already aware about my loyalty with the School and professional record." Finfin voiced confident. The elder Zhen spoke, "Call him in." Finfin stood up and brought Qiao inside the office. Qiao was not ignorant about the situation so he stood straight; firmly holding his weapon in the left hand bringing fearless expressions on his face. 

The elder might have put several questions but the way the hunter stood in his office was enough to make him believe the report entirely. The well-built body; dignified clothing and the fearless ambitions pasted on the face were telling his future aims. The elder was in the middle of making the big decision when outside some commotion rose up. It was unheard that the Hunting School faced any inside rivalry unless…

The elder looked at Finfin and he left the office. 

…

Qiqi went inside the office and told about the particular hunter. The elder checked the records briefly almost all the newly recruited hunters. He was familiar with the old ones. The appearance did not match with any of the regular student or any recruited hunters. This led toward the suspicion and the elder met with the other masters of the various learning classes. He checked the names and the characteristics of the various students. He was about to let go when a master pointed out that he also saw the particular hunter around the third building and thought perhaps he has something to do with the elders there. It turned out that he was outsider. 

Now the elder got alert and sent many hunters for searching the particular outsider. The hunter was spotted near this elite building. He was running. One of the paths led toward outside of the Hunting School and the hunter was aiming for that path. Two of the hunters were running behind and some of elders were guiding to capture him before he could escape out. Finfin voiced Qiao. He was too old to run behind and ask what was the matter? Qiao hurriedly walked outside of the office. Finfin pointed toward the commotion and Qiao understood. 

With just one glance he recognized the strange hunter as well Qiqi. He remembered that he asked him to ask about the particular hunter. The situation was pointing that the matter was serious. He rushed faster than others and reached in front of the level six peak spy. The spy halted his steps seeing the young hunter in front of him. He was going back today to inform about Qiao. From previous five days; he was here and spying various activities on behalf of the School lord of the first Hunting School. Qiao restricted his movements by punching right on his face; he fell on his knees. 

Later Qiqi reached and pointed, "Brother Qiao this hunter does not belong our school; the elders wanted to know why he was living here for five days?" Qiqi was huffing. He was level six primary while the intruder was level six peak. Goodness that Qiao has reached level seven else there was no other fresh and young matching with the rush of this spy. Other elders heard the commotion and came out of the offices. Little later Finfin and the senior elder caught up. Most of them did not know the reason behind this commotion so they were asking. 

"This is outsider and living in our school for five days. Qiqi pointed about him. He is trying to escape. I wanted to know why he is staying here?" The elder explained slowly. The others heard and got shocked. All of them got the chill of threat. It was apparent in their heads. Who could he be if not spy? The Golden Arches walked forward and looked at the spy. Qiao was pointing his weapon at the neck so the spy cannot move or play any trick. The golden arch saw the young hunter fearless holding the weapon against the spy and nodded. 

"I will investigate." Finfin stepped forward and slapped the spy. "I can only ask once if not my stone would turn you into ashes; it is up to you what you decide." Finfin brought out the strong stone and activated in front of the spy. The spy was not ready to speak but when he saw the increasing energy of the stone; he bluntly voiced, "This school would not be able to polish any strong hunter. My master will kill all of the ambitious hunters sooner or later." His tone carried threat. It seemed he was not concerned about the impending death. Qiao got shocked and looked toward the elder Finfin.
