Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

  Chapter 30 Hayatta's Dream

  In the early morning of Minagarde, the vendors hadn’t left their stalls, and most of the citizens hadn’t woken up yet. The stone-paved streets were always bustling, and there weren’t many pedestrians at this time.

   It is rare for Hayata to not wear a skirt, but a set of cotton underwear that is easy to move around.

  At this time, she trotted all the way behind Uncle Pine. Although she pursed her lips and pretended to be serious, she couldn't hide the excitement and expectation in her eyes.

  Pine, who was walking in front, pursed his lips and had the same serious expression as Hayatta, but there was no smile in his eyes, but full of anxiety.

  They are on their way to a hunter's residence.

  Walking and walking, Pine's footsteps suddenly stopped, he turned his head, his tone was full of uneasiness and helplessness: "I said Hayata, do you really stop thinking about it?

  Monster Hunter is the most dangerous job, and you are a girl, if something happens to you, teach me how to face my brother-in-law in heaven?

  By the way, didn’t you say you wanted to be a musician or a painter before, how wonderful, elegant and elegant.”

   "No! Uncle Pine, I want to be a hunter!" Hayata responded simply and neatly.

"Why"

  Pyne's head hurts, and this conversation has been repeated countless times for more than a month.

  After being attacked by a monster but fortunately escaped with the help of a hunter, the caravan canceled its trip and returned directly to Minergard City.

  The goods were lost, several members died, and many people were injured. The caravan suffered heavy losses.

  The most troublesome thing is that many of the caravan members who witnessed their companions being torn apart by monsters, who were also injured or even disabled, resigned from the caravan and left the chamber of commerce.

   After all, no one can guarantee that the next journey will be safe.

  Even those who stayed were haunted by nightmares, and they still felt terrified when they recalled that day, including Pine himself.

  Hayata is the only exception.

  The experience that day not only did not leave her with fear in her heart, but instead gave her a more dangerous idea: she wanted to be a hunter, a monster hunter whose job was to hunt monsters.

  At first, Pine thought that Hayata was just a whim, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who was in the rebellious period, who hasn't had the time to be willful?

  But a month later, Pine realized that he was wrong.

  Although Hayata is naughty and active on weekdays, he is essentially a very obedient and well-behaved child.

  For more than ten years, she has almost never been self-willed or lost her temper, which makes Pine, who often travels far, and the nanny who is responsible for taking care of her daily life, feel very relieved.

  However, this time, she was extremely stubborn.

  For more than a month, persuasion with painstaking efforts, the temptation of delicious food and beautiful dresses, did not change her determination at all.

   For this reason, Pine even got angry with her for the first time and put her in confinement.

   Facing the really angry Pine, Hayatta didn't talk back. Even though he was declared grounded, he just walked into his room silently and sat in silence.

After a few days and nights, looking at Hayata, who was as bright as a small sun in the past, her cheeks were sunken, her eye circles were as if coated with a layer of soot, and even her soft and smooth chestnut hair had lost its luster, as if she had lost her soul look like.

  The daughter-controlled middle-aged businessman surrendered.

   "Okay, okay, go be a hunter! I don't know if your small arms and legs can hold weapons and wear armor!" That's what Pine said at the time.

  Hayatta got his wish.

  The little girl who got her wish regained her former vitality, chattering around Pine, asking when she could send herself to the hunter training camp for training.

  In large-scale human settlements, the Hunter Guild has specialized training institutions for newcomers, and a big city like Minergard is no exception.

  But Pine doesn't want his precious niece to undergo that kind of hellish training!

   Among other things, he has also heard about the training content of the local hunter training camp. The basics are barbells and dumbbells, and cross-country with weights.

   After several years of training, the teenagers are naturally strong and strong, and the girls, uh...

   There are relatively few women who volunteer to be hunters. After all, most girls love beauty, and an overly strong body is a nightmare for them.

  Pine absolutely cannot accept that his beautiful and lovely niece has become muscular.

  In fact, Pine and most people have misunderstood female hunters. Female hunters who are inherently weak in terms of strength and size rarely choose heavy weapons.

  Long-range support weapons are very popular among female hunters. Even if some female hunters are naturally aggressive and prefer close combat, most of them choose Taidao, double swords and other agile types.

  Of course, there are some extreme examples of people who like heavy weapons such as sledgehammers. They work hard to break through the limit, and their performance will never be worse than that of male hunters.

  Compared to the collective training in the training camp, Pyne, who has specifically inquired about the relevant news, is more inclined to another hunter training model—that is, "bringing the old with the new" that is common in many industries.

  In short, the experienced hunters guide the newcomers one-on-one, and help them complete the training in the way of leading apprentices.

In small human settlements at the village and town level, most young hunters complete their training in this way. After all, it is difficult for an ordinary village to gather so many young people who volunteer to be hunters to form a "training camp" "Come.

   As for who to teach Hayatta, Pyne also has a plan in mind.

  As a native of Minagarde, Pine has quite a few friends, some of whom he has known since childhood.

  Amos is one of them.

  In Pine's impression, Amos should be a very powerful hunter.

   Pyne was not very clear about the classification of hunters, but he vaguely remembered hearing the lady on the board at the hunter's gathering place praise a certain client, "Master Amos is a high-ranking hunter!"

   Judging from the Kanban girl's pride with You Rongyan and the client's "ah, then I'm completely relieved!", the high-ranking hunter must be very powerful, right?

  Hayatta is strong, and is an old friend who has known each other for many years. He knows his character and character well. He can rest assured that he can be taught and trained by such a person.

  In addition to this, another important reason why Pine hopes that Hayatta will learn from Amos is the latter's "body shape".

  Among the hunters he has come into contact with, most of them are muscular brothers with big arms and round waists. Compared with them, Amos looks very "slender".

   Well, maybe it should be another word, and it is more appropriate to say "slim".

  If the strong muscles of the powerful hunters are reminiscent of hard granite, then the muscles of Amos are like the steel cables twisted on the bones, extremely refined.

  When drinking together, Pine specifically asked this question. The explanation given by Amos was that it was the result of different training methods and weapon choices.

  As an agile hunter who is good at using Taidao, overdeveloped muscles will reduce the speed and flexibility of action.

  As for heavy weapons that emphasize strength and light weapons that emphasize agility, there is no comparison. It can only be said that each has its own advantages in different situations.
