Chapter 263: Silver Class 4
Silver Class 4
The hunter is good for nothing
Not all the level six teams were given permission to use the same forest for hunting. The Hightown prudently divide the islands among the teams and let the Hunting Schools as well as the Guild know what forest was assigned to them. The elders provide this information only to the leader and he was obliged to share it with the team. The hunter left through the exit reserved for the hunters of the Tandem Hunting School. It was the same place where Qiao and the other fourteen hunters were sent for the test. Kala was curious to know where they were heading.
The haughty hunter did not speak until now. He was not happy the way he faced insult at the response desk. His buddy was also silent. "Do we have information of the monster prior?" Qiao was unable to walk silently he needed information and then make his mind how he should face the circumstances. The haughty hunter suddenly stopped at his question and puffed his chest. "Do not compare the Hightown or the Hunting School with your worn out town Guilds. Here the competition is tough; the hunters are not given such crude information. They battle relaying the strength of their muscles." The haughty hunter puffed his chest and showed off his biceps.
Qiao had handsome and mild facial features which no way resemble with the stout and stiff faces of these hunters so they easily get the impression that perhaps the young hunter has yet to build his body. Well it was fault of his decent clothing that it hides his rough and tough body shape. "Oh, so how we are going to determine the hunt?" Qiao was unbothered with his attitude. He simply asked and it twisted the facial features of the team leader.
"The Panping island is reserved for the level six teams those newly recruited anywhere in the Hightown." The hunter beside the team leader spoke this time. They had to cross the vast forest in order to reach the Panping island. However it was strange and Qiao had a question about it. 'Were they supposed to return back after the first mission? If yes then would not it waste lot of time in the journey every day? This was crude question which needed answer else Qiao would revolt immediately. It was insane to do this every day. He could have accepted if he was not short of time though it was beneficial in a way. It could help in practice the fourth skill.
"From your expressions you seemed lost your way?" the team leader mocked thinking that perhaps the young hunter was frightened crossing the whole forest every day after all there was chance that someday they won't be able to go back on time. Well Qiao was thinking something different entirely nonetheless he cannot abandon the present team and see what was waiting in the Panping island for him. He had a whole day to decide about his situation.
The level six hunters were supposed to spend the night in the forest if the night fell during hunt yet the Panping Island had a reason to decide other way. The island was not bigger but the population of the monsters had been exceeding recently. The purpose of sending fresh teams in this island was to clear it from the excessive population or the monsters that cross the area and reach the near forest. This island was solely selected for the recruited level six hunters. They were full of enthusiasm and dedication. In this island level six monsters can be found in abundance.
Overall it was a better option for the elders to send the teams here. Kala was not much impressed with the personality of the team leader and he could also notice the despondency painted on the face of the young hunter. They retained the journey keep going. They have yet to hunt the first monster at the first day of recruitment. These missions were not forced to fulfill earlier so the hunters had enough time to go lazy and the elders might not bother this aspect. The Hightown can only provide chances it was up to the hunters to avail these chances.
No one spoke after they had cold argument. Qiao was more than ever resolute to make his own team whenever he had a chance. If all newly recruited level six teams were heading the same direction then he could expect sanguine outcome. Their team was not the only team sent by the Tandem Hunting School. As to how he could recognize them it was easy. All those hunters sent by the school wear the special badge for the identity. It was easy to recognize them. Kala has no worry unless the young hunter was displeased openly.
He had already chosen what side he would take in case of further argument. Only two were selected out of fifteen and one of them was this young hunter even the most experienced one were kicked in front of his eyes. There was no doubt that hunter has guts to go against the circumstances. The forest was never ending. "We need to move faster." Qiao asked to see the slow pace of the leader. "Worry not we will reach the island by midday." The leader shook his shoulder as if he has nothing to worry about.
Qiao was thinking to bear until they reached the island since the leader has the map toward the place he cannot argue further or snatch it from him. In the eyes of the elders this hunter was the team leader for first hunt. If possible Qiao would ask leading a team after getting one or two more soldiers. He wanted to see how things work in the Hunting School. Also there the island was waiting for him. 'Every day is a battle for survivor and death for coward' Qiao remembered the famous quote of his favorite writer.
