My Last Hunt - Chapter 372
Class Test 2
They were still in the air when something brushed past barely saving them from direct closure. Lam took sharp turn to save the day. Aina was escaping after deceiving a well-known digger. She ordered her beast to escape at any cost. The digger was seriously offended.
She used her shrewd ways to trap the digger. He was not just digger but trader of the stones. In case he lost the stones which he was aiming for trade then his reputation as digger would ruin. He was affiliated with big traders regarding the utilization of the stones. They were the biggest source providers for the missions and the whole chain of dealing would disturb if he failed to provide the promised stones.
Aino was doing her usual trick to snatch and escape. Her beast was also well versed with her ways and equal partner of such snatching crimes. Most of the hunters did not take her actions as offence because she was exceptionally cute when she smiled. Through this smile she was able to rob off many hunters until now.
Aino was confident that none would chase her or seriously attack. The digger was also chasing behind at the back of his tamed beast. Diggers were usually level eight retired hunters so they possessed tamed beasts for longer journey. Qiao patted Lam to slow down that flight.
Aino noticed the young hunter and forgot that she was escaping after crime. Whenever she looked at this hunter, she was bound to forget everything else. Then suddenly her eyes wide opened seeing the angry digger. The twisted expressions of the old digger were enough to bring chills.
He was about to pat the monster to hurry when Aino hastily turned toward him and threw a stone. Qiao caught the stone unable to tell why he caught it. He was not mindful about the ongoing clash and the reason of conflict. The digger saw him getting the stone. He was already angry and took flight toward him. Qiao saw the angry expressions and hurriedly threw the stone toward the huntress.
She caught it smiling. It helped her distract the angry chaser. The digger was going to stop the young hunter however seeing that the real culprit was escaping he turned his flight toward the shrewd woman. Aino noticed the digger again chasing behind. She took dangerous shot and her beast dived in the air like an expert companion of the criminal.
The Olpen beasts were known because of their expert flights though they were not bigger in stature compared to the threatening sizes of the beasts so most of female huntresses tamed Olpen race for their Test Trials. These beasts were known as best companion of the hunters whoever tamed them.
They could take impossible dives in the air at the promise that their master was comfortable with such flight. Most of the female huntresses puke out their innards in their first few flights. Qiao was at his normal pace. Aino again appeared out of nowhere and threw the stone.
This time Qiao make the monster dive and let the stone met the empty air. There was visible annoyance on her face but she did not bring those expressions on her face seeing that the hunter was taking flight on a monster rather beast.
He was lenient not to scold her for her actions. She was again distracted by the handsome hunter and an attack fell on her while she was going to catch the stone before it could go missing after falling on the ground. Both the attack fell on her and she caught the stone at the same time.
The attack was direct and she was oblivious. Aino did not activate any of the stone earlier because she was expert on escape until today.
It seemed looking at this hunter could bring her demise whenever she did but she could not help with it. Aino caught the stone however the digger was coming from the opposite side. At this point of worry there was no other way rather than to throw the stone toward the digger and escape.
Aino was about to throw the stone when another attack fell on her and injured her seriously. Qiao was not around anymore. He was flying toward the town for meeting the master. The digger caught the stone, he was ready for third attack but for some reason he let her go.
Aino covered her head with the deep maroon upper cover and escaped. It was first ever that she faced such circumstances all because of the handsome hunter but she could not blame since it was her mistake. The Olpen beast flew toward the specific town faster than the wind storm.
The master was injured and the beast was worried. “These diggers kept battling for the stones. It is the usual occurrence.” The hunter got worried when Qiao caught the stone. It was equal of inviting uninvited trouble. After some time they reached the town. Lam landed on plain surface away from the town houses and locality.
Qiao gestured it to stay and walked with the native hunter. There was big pouch in his right hand and a shapeless weapon in his left hand. His fleece moved with the slight wind. He kept his token under the fleece. And no one could tell his identity however his aura was threatening.
It was way more horrible than the monstrous aura. If not for his aura then the people might have taken him as pampered hunter of the Hightown nevertheless his profound expression created silent threat over others. Most of the town people were familiar with the native hunter walking beside him.
They used to mock him for the reason that he was harmless despite the identity of hunter. He was harmless as well as hopeless because despite being level seven he could not provide enough wealth to his family. His family was living poor for his inability to be able to provide them sufficient resources for living.
The hunter had been facing humiliation whenever he visited his hometown. Seeing stronger hunter with him they keep their mouth shut for the time being.
