Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

It was five in the morning, and the sky outside the window was slightly bright. The girl opened her eyes on time.

She sat up from the not-so-soft bed, folded the sheets and quilts neatly, glanced at her roommate who was still sleeping soundly on the bed opposite, and left the room silently.

She washed and changed clothes in an orderly manner, and put on the uniformly distributed training leather armor.

She moved her body and adjusted the tightness of the equipment straps.

Facing the mirror in front of her, she tied up her shoulder-length hair with a hair tie.

The girl in the mirror was neatly dressed, and her calm face had no expression, just like the impression of her "chief" by the training camp teachers and trainees.

——Meticulous, clean and neat, but always with a stern face, it seems that it is not easy to deal with.

After confirming that there was no problem, the girl took a big step and walked out.

The dew in summer was not heavy, and the air was still cool before the sun rose completely.

She seized the time and came to the empty training ground, picked up a pair of training swords, and started the extra training for today.

About an hour later, other students came to the training ground and started their morning exercises.

When more and more people came to the training ground, she chose to leave early.

She didn't like to be crowded with too many people.

What hunter students lacked the most was all kinds of passionate boys and girls.

Facing their enthusiastic greetings, it would be impolite not to respond, but it would be too troublesome to respond one by one, interrupting the training and distressing.

After leaving the training ground, she was hesitating whether to go to the track to drag the wooden stakes and run with weights.

Or finish the morning exercise early, take a shower, and then memorize the monster encyclopedia that she didn't have time to memorize yesterday before today's group class starts.

She saw a familiar figure.

Blinking, she looked carefully again, and after confirming that she was not mistaken, she trotted all the way to chase him.

Yesterday, after arriving at Dongduoluma.

Without even the mood to go to the public bar for a drink, Gordon, the other two and Gail trotted all the way to the Sterling family's mansion as soon as they got off the airship.

After seeing the chubby baby daughter, Hayata finally put her mind at ease.

Gail even hugged Fufu and kept sniffing, as if there was some addictive smell on her body.

At the enthusiastic invitation of Mrs. Sterling and Jessica, they did not spend the night in Anshil's "little house", but stayed in the Sterling family's mansion.

After hearing that Gordon, Hayata and others had plans to visit relatives in the Shuret area, Jessica also helped them arrange a comfortable and fast private airship.

After discussing with Hayata, Gordon decided to set off the next day.

They had to go to Kokot Village and Minagard City. Time was tight and could not be wasted.

Gail envied them for the feeling of having someone to visit.

She did have a few friends in East Doruma, but they were definitely not the kind of people she could "visit". At best, she would find an opportunity to call them out and have a drink together.

So she proposed to visit their former instructor, Ms. Hilda.

Well, she had to carry her child with her.

Ansel, who had no other plans, naturally would not object. He had always respected Instructor Hilda, and it would be nice to take this opportunity to visit her.

Julius and the others learned that Instructor Hilda, who was nearly 60 years old, had retired from the front line and took over the position of chief instructor of the Hunter Training Camp full-time.

The Great Elder could no longer transfer her at will, and her life was leisurely.

It was obvious that Gale was very enthusiastic about this "visit". At dawn the next day, she pulled Ansel out of bed.

It took a lot of effort to dress up the still dazed Fufu cutely.

Then he was about to put on the "Mao Mao Tou Second Generation" on himself, but was stopped by Ansel, whose face changed drastically.

"I beg you to dress more normally."

Gail tilted his head and asked: "Xuanhuilong? Or Qilin?"

".Don't you have clothes that are more suitable for daily wear?" Anxiel looked painful.

"Then the first generation of Mao Mao?"

"No!"

"You are so troublesome." Gale put his hands on his hips and looked at him dissatisfied.

Anxiel took a deep breath.

He regretted not reminding Gale to bring back the civilian clothes of the investigation team.

Wearing that set to walk on the streets of Dongdoruma is a bit strange, but at least it is still within the scope of "normal people" and will not attract attention.

But if he wears Mao Mao's first generation.

Anyway, he will never walk side by side with something wearing such a thing on the streets of the city.

"At least comb your hair and wait here."

After leaving this sentence, Anxiel walked out of the room.

Gale picked up Fu Fu and snorted: "Anyway, I will never wear those messy and complicated noble clothes."

Not long after, Anxiel came back.

He stuffed a set of clothes into Gail's arms, "I borrowed this from Jessica, wear this!"

Gail unfolded it and took a look.

A plain white shirt with exquisite cut, and a pair of breeches for easy movement.

"Well, it's not bad." Gail grumbled as he changed into casual clothes.

Ansel's own clothes were also simple, without the tall hat, cane, etc. that Gail imagined.

On the contrary, Fufu, who was held in her arms and dressed in a princess dress, was particularly eye-catching.

Well, it's okay, children have to dress exaggeratedly to be cute!

Gail kissed Fufu's face hard, and set off with brisk steps.

When they arrived at the hunter training camp outside the city, it was already bright.

After showing the hunter notes that could prove their identity, they easily passed the guard and entered the camp.

It didn't seem very obvious when they looked at it from the air yesterday, but after entering it, they found that the expanded hunter training camp, both in terms of scale and number of personnel, had increased a lot compared to a few years ago.

"Now there are so many children, are they willing to become hunters?" Anshil said in surprise.

Gale replied casually: "For orphans whose hometowns have been destroyed and have no one to rely on, becoming a hunter is a very good way out. It can fill their stomachs and also get revenge."

Anshil choked.

People like him who have a good family background and both parents and become hunters out of their own dreams will always be a minority.

People like Gale and Gordon are the majority.

If there is no pressure from life, few people are willing to take the risk of death and endure this hardship.

In the past decade or so, due to various reasons, the activity of monsters in various places has increased significantly, so countless villages and towns have been destroyed.

The training camp can easily recruit a large number of boys and girls who volunteer to become hunters. In a certain sense, it is not a good thing.

Noticing Anshil's heavy expression, Gale waved his hand impatiently, "Don't have that expression. I hate your expression of "Ah, they are orphans, so pitiful" the most.

Those who can come here are lucky, and no one needs to pity them."

Anshil's face rarely showed a trace of embarrassment.

I was young before and didn't realize it. Now thinking back, the reason why I was so unpopular in the training camp was that my arrogant personality was only one aspect.

The more important reason is probably the "condescending pity" in Gale's mouth.

Trying to adjust his expression, Anshil was about to move forward when he heard someone jogging from behind and stopped him.

"Are you Mr. Anshil?"

The two turned around.

The visitor was a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing leather training armor.

"Are you?" Anshil felt that the other party seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where this familiarity came from.

The girl bowed and introduced herself briefly: "Apprentice hunter, Huali, from Jieyun Village."
