Monster Hunting High School

There is such a soul

It loves the sun and the chase

on every bright day

it will scream

Screaming over the hunting ground

…

In the sky above Hunting Ground No. 1, "Hunting Monsters in the Sun", an enduring classic hunting song in the wizarding world, floated. In the surrounding stands, young wizards wearing various costumes appeared one after another, singing this hunting song to the unique soundtrack of their respective colleges, as if they wanted to compete with each other with their voices and momentum.

Zheng Qing sat in his seat, holding a telescope in one hand, squinting at the fight between the hunting team and the demon group in the hunting ground, and holding a licorice spicy ball lollipop in the other hand, enjoying it with great relish—— It was a snack that Lin Guo took out from his small schoolbag. As the leader of the Exoneration Hunting Team, the young public-funded student accepted this tribute without hesitation.

"Although I can understand it, I still feel it's a bit weird." Zheng Qing smacked his lips, looking at Queen Qiong wielding the sword to kill everyone in the hunting ground, and sighed: "What do you think of a girl with such gentle eyes, using her hands? So cruel?"

"A small world away, can you tell whether her eyes are gentle or not?" Fatty Xin complained hurriedly from the side. Unlike Zheng Qing, he did not accept the lollipop that Lin Guo kindly handed over. Instead, he picked out a small basket of fried clams from his watch and cracked them vigorously.

"Temperament, do you understand temperament?" Zheng Qing glanced at him with disdain, then turned to ask Xiao Xiao: "I said, where are their Dharma books? If the group of little mongoose monsters that the queen met just now were used As for the binding spell, it will definitely be much safer to solve than her using a knife to chop it..."

Before Xiao Xiao opened his mouth, Fatty Xin opened the bar at the side.

"Momentum, do you understand momentum?" The fat man flicked open a clam with one finger and said in an educational tone: "It seems that she is going to the group of Pan-horned Sheep demons in the south... so she has been sharpening her knife along the way. , use the blood of those little demons to pour fighting spirit and momentum..."

Hearing this mysterious and mysterious argument, Zheng Qing shrugged his shoulders without comment, but looked at the doctor again.

Xiao Xiao did not disappoint him.

"On the one hand, it's because of the speed... it takes less time to kill a little monster than to capture them alive."

Unlike the guys eating snacks next to him, Xiao Xiao kept holding his binoculars and focused on the hunting competition between the fields, which made his analysis more reliable: "On the other hand, it also saves spells and magic power. Thinking about it... Under normal circumstances, each hunter is only allowed to carry one Dharma book on the hunting ground. Considering the needs of hunting, they cannot use that unusually thick Dharma book... so we can judge the spells they store. Quantities are very limited.”

Zheng Qing bit the lollipop and nodded with a serious expression, deeply convinced.

The hunting mode used in the round robin competition is the 'Hunting Mode'.

Compared with the performance-based ‘Hunting Mode’ at the opening ceremony, the ‘Hunting Mode’ is closer to actual combat, so the rules and requirements are more complicated.

For example, purely in terms of competition sessions, in the 'Hunting Mode', the entire hunting match needs to go through three parts: the 'Hunting Session', the 'Hunting Session' and the 'Hunting Session', which roughly correspond to the knockout round, finals and overtime.

The ‘Hunting Session’ is the beginning of the hunting game.

All hunting teams in this game will enter the hunting grounds at the same time under the arrangement of the hunting committee. The organizer will release a group of wild monsters slightly larger than the number of hunting teams and an uncertain number of lone wild monsters in the hunting ground in a certain proportion. Competition times are generally scheduled between 9am and 12pm. During the competition, each hunting team is free to attack any group of wild monsters, and the winner will be judged based on the quality and quantity of the prey obtained.

Generally, the top 10-20% of hunting teams in each event have a chance to advance to the next round.

During the 'hunting session', there will only be one large group of monsters in the hunting ground. But unlike the previous stage, the number and strength of the wild monster group in the 'Hunting' stage will far exceed the limit that a single hunting team can bear. Therefore, at this stage, different hunting teams must learn to abandon their prejudices, cooperate with each other, and hunt down the monsters as quickly as possible.

In order to ensure the independence and fairness of the session, the hunting teams that have obtained the qualification of ‘hunting’ will still enter the venue at the same time. The hunting team that obtains the largest number of demon hearts, or the hunting team that captures the heart of the Wild Demon King, will be the champion of this hunt.

Most of the time, the hunting game ends here.

But there are bound to be unexpected situations - the most common one is that one hunting team kills the wild monster king, and the other hunting team kills the most wild monsters.

In the event of such an accident, the hunting match will automatically enter overtime, the hunting phase.

Different from the previous two sessions, in the hunting session, the two hunting teams did not enter the venue at the same time - according to the points from the previous two sessions, the one with higher points would be given priority.

It's still the same field, still a group of wild monsters. The team that finally hunts down the wild monster king will become the ultimate champion.

Looking at the entire 'Hunting Mode', it is no exaggeration to say that time is the guarantee of victory. The hunting team that can kill the prey in the shortest time will always have a certain advantage.

At this moment, in Hunting Ground No. 1, several hunting teams across the small world are undergoing the ‘hunting session’.

Xiao Xiao pressed the notebook in his arms and continued unhurriedly:

“In the hunting session, the most important thing is rhythm.”

"Generally at this stage, only 1-2 times the number of wild monsters of the hunting team will be released into the hunting ground. I just counted, and the ratio of the monster group to the hunting team in the hunting ground today is about 1:1.5... This It means time is very tight.”

"In this case, most hunting teams only have time to completely hunt down a demon group."

"So the quantity and quality of the demon group become the key to determining victory or defeat."

"I don't think it's right." Zheng Qing grabbed the brass telescope and looked around, and questioned at the same time: "...If a hunting team spent most of the day hunting a very strong demon group, another hunting team took advantage of this Opportunity hunted two weaker demon groups. How do you think that the hunting team that hunted two demon groups had the advantage in the final calculation? "

"This involves different hunting team styles and the choice of hunting team leaders." Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement, adjusted his glasses, and added: "Just like Queen Joan you have been staring at, she obviously hopes to be in the shortest possible time. Defeat a slightly stronger demon group within the time instead of wasting time on the road to surround the weaker demon group.”

Zhang Jixin listened to the two people discussing for a long time. At this time, he finally couldn't help it and interrupted and came to a conclusion:

"So, on the hunting ground, we need to select the right wild group as quickly as possible, and then end the first battle in the cleanest way to get a guaranteed income."

"What an exquisite nonsense." Fatty Xin's mouth was full of clam meat, and his words were leaky, but this did not affect his mocking tone at all.

Zhang Jixin's face did not change as he continued: "... Facing different groups of wild monsters, different tactics need to be chosen. If the hunting team leader is strong enough, he can try to attack the wild monster king and try to kill the wild monster with one blow. This way After the death of the wild demon king, the difficulty of hunting the chaotic demon group will be greatly reduced.”

"If the monster group they face is relatively strong, then the hunting team must stabilize their position, first cut off the wings of the wild monster king, kill all the little monsters around it, and then gather the entire team's strength to surround and kill the wild monster king. …After all, most wild monster kings have many strange abilities that make them difficult to guard against.”

At the end of the sentence, the red-faced wizard clenched his fists and made a gesture of encirclement, ending his impassioned summary.

Beside them, Zheng Qing and Lin Guo both raised their hands and clapped their hands, giving the excusing hunter some mental encouragement.
