Matthew, Rose and Cecilia got back to the site where the first phase of the exam ended just a few hours before the time was up. Matthew was carrying a bag that contained the evidence of their hunt.
"I'll get the report in, you two can rest up for while waiting."
"Okay Matt." Rose replied to Matthew.
Cecilia nodded.
After he had confirmed their thoughts, Matthew made his way to the field assistant that was in charge. The line was not really long, thankfully.
Rose and Cecilia went under a shady tree and sat on one of its protruding roots.
"Ah~ I'm beat." Rose said as she laid her bottom on the hard root.
"Me too…" Cecilia said.
They both took a breather under the shade as they watched their surroundings.
"Cecilia, could you tell me something?" Rose asked.
"Eh umm what is
The final phase of the exam.Participants were given tags at the start of the exam that were labelled with certain numbers. The task for the Hunters to complete was to collect three tags and also still possess their own in order to pass the phase.Those who have lost their tags will be disqualified, while those that were able to collect at least three tags aside their own will be qualified and those who collect more will be given extra points for that will be used to judge their rank.Participants were allowed to use any means. Traps, head on fight, tricks, teaming up and even stealing the tags collected by others was also allowed. However, killing another participant will disqualify the participant and be sent to court to be judged.“If anyone is asking, this final phase is important as you will not only be dealing with monsters but also bandits, treasure hoarders, mercenaries, and also other
One day into the final phase. Sounds of fight broke out everywhere around the area. Signs of battles were also left around such as burnt grass, shattered rocks, spikes of ice, bits and pieces of clothing and also splatters of blood.Many of the Hunters have got the tags they needed and many more were searching and getting back theirs. A battle of the fittest where the elite will come out on top.Each of them struggled to be victorious and used any means necessary. Trickery, backstabbing, head on fights, stealing and even certain uses of their skills.Some people are smart enough to have taken countermeasures, while some are dumb and only relied on their skills and also high confidence.Some of the Hunters conduct this alone, while some do it in teams. Each having their own ups and downs.When hunting alone, it would be much harder to capture prey but the bounty will be all for yo
The morning sunshine shone between the openings of the leaves on the faces of two people. Xia's eyes twitched and slowly opened and was greeted with blinding light.She quickly shut her eyes back and only opened them slightly to allow her eyes to adjust to the light. After a few seconds, she got up into a sitting position with her legs stretched out. A gust of wind blew her short hair, caressing her cheeks.She was stupefied for a second. She held her forehead as she tried to remember what had happened. Pieces of memories flashed in her head. She now remembered.She remembered a guy in red with golden hair, a girl with pink hair in red and black dress and another girl in all white. She and Chang were about to subdue them, but they were taken out afterwards.She checked her body for any injuries that she needed to treat. To her surprise, there were none.“What, how? How come
Matthew clashed with three people at once. Attacking, dodging and blocking with all his might. Matthew was able to keep up with the onslaught of attacks and defend himself properly while also countering some of their attacks.However, there was one person that was giving him trouble.'His movement is so much faster and his attacks are even stronger, heck even his defense is tough too. I need to get rid of these two and deal with him later.'With that in mind, Matthew focused his counterattacks on the two lackies. Trying to make them stay down.Matthew swung his sword to deflect all the attacks that were coming at him. He then focused his astra into his left fist and slammed it into the ground.The ground shook and broke apart, causing all of his opponents to lose their balance. Using this chance, Matthew first kicked Alan away as far as he could. He then proceeded to attack the b
Inside a tavern where anyone can hang out and enjoy their meals while chugging down some beer, it was very lively with the amount of people that were inside. All of the tables were full with people sitting at them.There were occasional clanks of mugs, distinct chatters and haughty laughters that filled the air. It would seem that everyone was enjoying their time after a quest well done. Not only that, there was another reason why there were more people than usual here tonight.“Cheers!” CLANK!“Glug glug glug… Puhaa~! Whoo! That’s some good stuff!” The woman with purple hair slammed her mug on the table. “Hey, don’t any of you drink alcohol?”“We’re only seventeen you know? And Cecilia is fifteen. Neither of us are of legal age to drink, Yuki.” Matthew replied.“Hey hey, your world’s rules don't
In the bustling streets, Rose and Cecilia were sitting at a bench by the sidewalk while vehicles pulled by cows, horses, ground lizards and beefaloes steadily moved on the main road. They had led Matthew away from them, the reason being they had something to talk about.“Phew, good thing Matt is really easy to persuade.” Rose said after sitting.“You knew?” Cecilia was right beside Rose.“Yeah, I mean, we were classmates after all. Back in our world, I mean.”“Oh so you’ve known him for a while.”“Yeah, I’ve known him for years now.” Rose sounded a bit sad.“... What is he like?” Cecilia suddenly asked.Rose was quiet for a second. She looked at the sky while she explained. “He is… Very childish, he plays around a lot, lazy in class, sleeps wh
Meanwhile Rose and Cecilia were talking it out on the street of the city, Matthew finally found Yuki sitting on a tree branch munching on an apple. When she saw Matthew approaching, she greeted him.“Yo.”Matthew swiveled his head left and right before finally looking up. “Oh there you are,” said Matthew.“Took you a while to get here.” Yuki threw her half eaten apple away and jumped down.“You know this place is huge right?” Matthew put a hand on his waist.“Well, that shouldn’t be a challenge, should it?”“Well, I’d like to save my energy for the fight.”“Oh, so you really think highly of me?” Yuki had a slight smug on her face. “I’m flattered.”“Well, you are a senior after all, of course I would.
The scene swept past the window in a slight blur where Matthew looked out from as the carriage rattled on the stone brick road. In front of and facing him, was Rose who was also staring out the glassless window with her hand supporting her chin and beside her was Yuki who was sleeping quietly, tired from the fight with Matthew. On the opposite end of the seat on Matthew’s side, was Cecilia who stared nervously at the carriage floor, fidgeting and stealing glances at the others.Then there was one more, who sat in between Matthew and Cecilia, a maid. She had bright red hair and slightly tanned skin. Her black and white maid outfit fitted perfectly on her body. Her face was that of a soft and kind person as per the first time the team encountered her at the Hunter Station.…..Matthew and Yuki arrived a little late to the station where Rose and Cecilia were already waiting outside. Matthew waved his hand high
