Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

This change of clothes took an extremely long time.

Gordon went home and came back with the [Yan Bing Blade], but Hayata still didn't come out.

There were so many matching decorations on this set of armor that Hayata didn't know how to put it on in many places and couldn't put it on, so he had to call Isana for help.

However, Isana also couldn't figure out how to put on the pile of accessories. After tinkering for a long time, the two had to find someone to hire the designer of this set of armor, Mrs. Sterling.

Under Mrs. Sterling's guidance, it took almost half an hour to finally put on the [Avalanche] suit.

Hayata couldn't help but want to complain. She had never seen such difficult-to-wear armor.

[Tenglong], which has complex pieces and multiple layers of armor, is already considered difficult to wear. Compared with [Avalanche], it is as simple as putting on a pair of pajamas.

However, Mrs. Sterling said that she had tried to simplify the steps of dressing as much as possible, and even made some sacrifices in terms of beauty, simplifying and integrating some accessories.

If it were really the kind of dress that noble ladies would wear at banquets, they would give up everything in pursuit of splendor.

Even with the help of maids, it would take at least an hour or two to completely take care of it.

After hearing this, Hayata and the blacksmith girl Isana could not help but whisper to the side, "Rich people have so much time..."

When Hayata finally came out of the dressing room, Gordon was stunned.

It's not the kind of "obsessed with beauty and falling into sluggishness". My wife has been watching it for more than ten years, so it's not that exaggerated.

Mainly, it was the style change that could almost be called a "mutant change" that shocked him.

Then bursts of wild laughter broke out.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

In embarrassment, Hayata grabbed a wooden mallet for smoothing leather from the workbench next to him and threw it away.

The roaring sound of the wind proved that she was really working hard.

Gordon ducked down to avoid the terrifying mallet that could kill half the life of ordinary people, and raised his hands to express surrender, "It's very beautiful, really! My admiration comes from the bottom of my heart."

It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera, otherwise I would have to take some photos first, pfft..."

Looking at Gordon who was trying not to laugh, Hayata gritted his teeth and wanted to beat him.

Unfortunately, there was Mrs. Sterling and the leader of the second phase of the regiment nearby, so it was not appropriate to do so, so I had to give the guy a vicious look and then ignore him.

Mrs. Sterling glanced at Gordon accusingly, and then said to Hayata: "You have a very good proportion, over 180 centimeters tall, and your legs are amazingly long.

The lines of muscles that have been exercised all year round are perfect, and there is almost no trace of fat. Among the ladies in Dongdoruma, there is no one who has a better clothes display than you.

The existence of armor will cover up most of your physical advantages. Of course, I also understand that for the sake of life safety, this is a necessary trade-off.

However, if you can better highlight your own beauty while ensuring the performance of all aspects of the armor, why should you reject it? "

"That's the truth." The leader of the second phase team nodded in agreement, "'Beauty' and 'strength' are never opposites. Don't think that beautiful armor must be flashy.

You should know that high-level armor may have its own style, but it will definitely not be ugly in appearance, unless the designer himself is not careful.

Well, it could also be that the user mixes and matches them randomly. "

"Hmm..." Mrs. Sterling seemed to have remembered something, her expression was subtle.

"Anyway, now you can look away from the appearance of [Avalanche]. Hayata, let's try some activities." The leader of the second phase said with a smile.

Hayata, who was still a little angry, stretched out his palm towards Gordon angrily.

Her eyes were very sharp, and she had already noticed the [Yan Bing Blade] carried behind Gordon's back.

Gordon sneered and handed over the ice sword that seemed to be carved from a solid block of ice.

While Hayata took the sword, the leader of the second phase said: "You can pull out the blade first and have a look."

Hearing this, Hayata pulled out a blade.

Fine and sharp frost is condensing on the ice-blue sword blade at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is the core power of this set of [Avalanche]. It will take a little time to accumulate. During this time, try other moves first."

Hayata nodded, and started with the most basic steps of walking, running, jumping, turning, and rolling.

Her movements were natural and smooth, and those accessories that seemed to be in the way did not hinder her movement.

It can be seen that Mrs. Sterling and the leader of the second group have made great efforts in this regard.

Immediately afterwards, Hayata tried some more fighting moves.

For example, more complex attack moves such as swinging the sword, stabbing the sword, unsheathing the sword, holding the sword, and slashing and cutting with the air blade.

"It's really surprising." Hayata's attitude obviously changed.

Gordon on the side also saw some clues, "Is the speed of taking the knife faster than usual?"

"Well, just like [Tenglong] is specialized for jumping attacks, this set of [Avalanche] seems to be specially designed for frequent holding and drawing of swords.

Not only is there no hindrance at all when drawing and retracting the sword, but it also provides a considerable degree of assistance through some internal designs? (The art of absorbing the sword, the art of drawing the sword [technique])"

"That's right, you are worthy of being called the 'Red Blade', your senses are very sharp." The leader of the second group praised with a smile.

As for whether he was praising Hayata or praising himself for creating [Avalanche], it was hard to tell.

"In addition to the specialized design of sheathing and drawing the sword, this set of armor did not compromise in terms of defensive performance.

In terms of attribute resistance, it has poor resistance to high temperatures of flames, which must be noted, but relatively speaking, it has excellent resistance to frost and water.

Those seemingly cumbersome accessories can absorb lighter impacts and avoid affecting the user's movements (reducing timidity).

Mysterious protection shrouds it (spirit protection), and when it is restrained or stimulated by something from the outside world, it will burst out with even more powerful power (turning disaster into blessing)."

The leader of the second-term group quickly introduced the various characteristics and abilities of this set of armor, and then smiled and said: "Finally, as the finale, it is the special protection we named 'The Mystery of the Ice Curse Dragon'.

That is, the frost condensed on the blade that you saw before."

The leader of the second-term group led Hayata and the others to a small target pile used to test the sharpness of weapons.

The old craftsman folded his arms and said to Hayata with expectation: "Draw your sword and try to strike it."

Hayata nodded and grasped the hilt of the sword, which was much colder than before.

The ice blade was unsheathed, and the sword light was wrapped in frost, which disappeared in a flash.

This was just a basic vertical strike for a sword user.

The solid wood target wrapped in thick leather was split in half from the middle, cut vertically in half, and a layer of white frost covered the broken pieces of the target.

Hayata looked at the ice sword in her hand with surprise. The power of this sword was much stronger than she expected.

The white cold air wrapped around [Avalanche] flowed through her hands and continuously injected into [Severe Ice Blade], repairing the broken frost coating on the blade.

The leader of the second group laughed proudly.

"This is the real power of [Avalanche]. We call it - Cold Refining!"
