My Last Hunt

Class Test 6

"Lam you might not be able to join me on my Class Test." Qiao supported against the monster. He was looking at the vast horizon as if he could differentiate the rays of the day separately. He could feel the rhythm of the air flow. 

By taking calm view he was able to see the tiny particles in the air. Slowly his senses and the individual capability was increasing and defying the previous limits. This change brought some sense of relief in him. It gave him some courage to battle all powerful hunters or the beasts those were trying to damage the strong hold of the Hightown. 

Now he was gradually learning what he was expected to do before leaving this world. Without fulfilling the wish of the aura he might not be able to defeat the wicked hunter. These thoughts were running in his head from some time. He wanted to know the true purpose of the death aura. What was the wish of the owner of this aura? 

Why he was given choice? It might have been easy for the aura to kill him for the crime of the other hunter instead he was given time to level up. There was something speckled behind the purpose and he wanted to know what it was? Apparently he stopped her to tell the loyal monster that his Class Test would be confidential adventure so he could not take him along. 

Lam was about to ask why when it noticed profound expressions of the master. Monster could tell the state of the tranquility that it should not disturb the master. He was able to suppress the aura however it was still within him. This reminded him about the sealed envelope given by the old book store owner. Things were so unreliable at every moment that he was completely immersed nearly forgetting about the envelope. 

"It is not right place to take a look at the envelope." Qiao murmured. He thought to return back in the Hightown after Class Test then open the envelope before the Hunter King Test Trials. Loyal monster nodded seeing the master seriously thinking about something. 

Qiao picked some dust from the ground and threw in the air then used his aura to control the natural fall of the dust. The dust remained in the air not moving with the flow or coming down on ground. This was small notion of his aura and his control. One could not imagine the strength of level eight hunter. It was rumored unrivalled. This was the reason that the hunters could prepare for Hunter King Test Trials at this level. 

The strength of Hunter King could destroy the islands; they could turn the ground upside down. They could control over the monsters. In the presence of Hunter King, lower level monsters usually suffocate if the hunter merely released the aura despite this level of strength and the opponent, monsters never submit. 

Qiao breathed deep. He was destined to reach such level of monstrous strength and he was almost running toward the higher level. 'With the power comes threats' 'With the power comes responsibility' 'With the power comes natural instinct bringing evil at the upfront' the evil hidden within. 

He was trying to suppress this evilness and ruthlessness however at some points he just go all out. "It came with the recent mission." He murmured after deeply thinking. Hunting beast meant beastly aura would add up in the nature as well as the strength. 

This aura was different and hard to control. The beasts were sharp, they were opportunist, and they were scheming. They submit when seeing the stronger opponent, they betray when the master turns weak in his controls. 

They could be dramatic, pathetic at the same time. Many hunters were still confused about the nature of beasts. The hunters could not define when the beast could backstab? How unexpectedly they could appear loyals. 

Regarding these aspects the hunter who hunted beasts often felt the evilness evaporating the true human spirit from the body. Obviously Qiao was facing the same turmoil. Qiao shook his head when trying to understand the beastly aura. He was completely engrossed in his thoughts. 

"I was lost just now. Lam you will wait for me near the third island of South Sepedra. I cannot tell which of the path I would leave the North Sepedra so it is up to you to search my whereabouts in case I am late coming out of it." Qiao patted the feet of the monster. He was still sitting on the same spot. 

"Master can trust this monster." Lam answered by lowering its head. The five eyes were also lowered with the head. "You are already my buddy this means you are trusted by me." Qiao smiled. He was gradually learning to smile because this smile reduced the increasing beast evilness. 

As much genuine the smile, strongly it could overthrow the evil aura. He just observed this strange effectiveness of the smile. "Thankfully I did not learn smile earlier else it might have taken part of evil smile. When he was reached this world, he was like building block and in his all five levels his personality remained the same. 

This caused the smile not added in the tempered nature. It was his asset now which could no more be manipulated. He was glad after knowing this aspect of leveling. Every belonging nature got tempered with levels unless hunter reserved some of it.

"I am going to take a look how long the Weapon Master needed to finish Annealing." He patted the monster and went towards the town. There was high wall of the town. It would create trouble if he tried to bring the monster along. Qiao reached the cottage unsure whether the huntress could really make weapon of his desire. 

Initially he was willing to believe her and hand over so many beast stones knowing the previous confrontation the same. She was robbing stone from other hunter and he happened to see the glint in her eyes. He was not worried that she would run away with his stones, he was only considering about the weapon. None of his opponent could take his assets unless he was willing to render for free.
