Chapter 63: Training Zone (5)
Guided by his teammates, Hunter headed straight to the training grounds on which many guildless and even guild hunters were honing their skills and gaining new experience.
On his way to this exciting zone, Hunter took in the vista of the First Hunter Union\'s background because it was beautiful and serene, charming newcomers with its harmony with nature. Each building draped in nature seemed to have a profound relationship with the union, and everyone was keen to take care of the surrounding greenery.
Which was intriguing for Hunter, for he had taken a deep interest in the history and how things came to this point.
\'Is it because of the elf spirit?\'
Inhaling the crisp air, Hunter could only appreciate the nature-related spirit as it was too pleasant to be here. It wasn\'t the perfect environment for him, as Hunter had developed a liking for high-altitude spots.
Meaning that the tall Yhwart Mountain — the unavoidable background of the union — was the spot Hunter would love to conquer. Coincidentally, Aimee liked hiking…
\'A date! This is it! The best ideas are born on the spur of the moment, right?! We\'ll conquer that mountain after our mission outside! Alright… the fun\'s over… I must show off now!\'
As the tall hedge with a sign [Training Grounds] rose on the horizon, Hunter and his teammates were just seconds away from entering a little different world.
And it wasn\'t because those grounds were flat, with no greenery in sight, as hunters ceaselessly stomped and scraped the lawn: it was because the mood here was far different from the pretty and idyllic air of the union\'s background…
…for people came here to draw blood.
-
In a way, the entire training grounds were like a baseball stadium, with seats perched in one corner.
A lot of hunters had a free ticket here to watch training and exercising peers whose bodies had already tasted some experience of the hunter world. A few hunters of the lowest level from the guilds also came here to gather experience, with their seniors overlooking them while giving tips.
Some of them were kind enough to help guildless hunters as well.
Which meant those people, alongside their disciples, were on the third level of the training grounds. The highest level of the three zones, as the training grounds were split to serve people\'s needs well.
The third was for already known and experienced hunters and those willing to challenge or train under them.
The second was for others who wanted to spar and gain experience.
The first was for solo hunters practicing alone against their imaginary opponents or punching bags skewered in the ground.
"He\'s here with them!"
"Finally!"
"Things are about to get interesting!"
Hearing female voices whispering at the sight of him, Hunter glanced around, finding out that most of the guildless hunters had turned their eyes to him. Since nearly everyone here was a woman, the sight increased Hunter\'s ego, only for him to calm it down.
After all, he wasn\'t famous enough to impose his desired image in the hearts of those women. He was still a cute eighteen-year-old man who was above average, nothing more.
Which was an image he would build into what he wanted and seeds to achieve that had been already planted.
"Here you are, the dreaming boy!" A woman whose frame was big and filled with oversized muscles hopped off the seats, dropping with a loud explosion before Hunter and his teammates. "My ticket to the Beast Domination Guild!"
"You really want to join these bastards? Well, looking at you, you\'re another woman I\'d never want to fuck," Hunter used the same words he had said to the beast woman he killed during the yearly exam, drawing a smile from the inspiring beast woman who had just barred his way.
She revealed her teeth and said, "That\'s it! I wanted to hear those words! Already makes me feel like I\'m part of the Beast Domination Guild! Just so you know, the dreaming boy, I agree with what Beast Domination Guild did to you and your crazy girlfriend!"
Nothing could spite Hunter more than those words…
"Really?"
"Yeah! If it was me, I\'d use all to make you pay for killing my family member! Someone dares to disagree with me?!" The woman looked around the crowd, sneering as no one said anything, "See? To avenge loved ones, no one would care about the orders from above or rules! The fact that Beast Domination Guild schemed so much against you deserves the most respect! And a small and weak man like you must learn his place."
"You took those words from me," Hunter narrowed his eyes, "I\'ll beat the shit out of you so you never get a ticket to the Beast Domination Guild or any other."
-
For some reason, Hunter and the barking woman were on the third level, with other fights halted and their participants resting alongside the crowd.
Shouldering all attention on his shoulders, Hunter lifted his hand and gestured to the woman to start the fight.
Which she did with a speed that once again was faster than Hunter\'s.
However… he was far from his old self since the demons\' invasion!
\'This speed… this movement technique… I can see you well, woman!\'
Having his eyes adapted to the high speed and naturally stronger after Strength Origin had dwelled within them for some time during Hunter\'s perilous moments, Hunter could leisurely blink while keeping his vision on his foe.
In his eyes, she was like a turtle, with a heavy punch going for his face.
As he read that movement so easily, Hunter chuckled and took the famous punching pose, fluttering his long cape before thrusting his punch at the woman\'s fist.
Which, upon connection, ended up with them entering the stalemate, blowing away all wind and dust off them.
But in this seemingly equal exchange, only Hunter remained composed with his chuckle still plastered on his face. On the other hand, his enemy had her eyes widened, unable to take off her arm as numbness she couldn\'t shake off took over her body.
Meaning so much power had descended upon her that she couldn\'t move an inch!
Hunter instantly closed the distance, striking her solar plexus, drawing blood and saliva off her mouth.
Following that move was a series of punches falling onto her face, chest, and stomach. Funnily enough, Hunter couldn\'t tell whether he was harming her chest or stomach, as both were flat and hard the same.
Truly a woman that lacked softness to entertain him!
Finishing the show with a slap on her face, Hunter waited for her towering frame to topple backward before drawing a little cut on his thumb, coalescing a blood rose from the scratch.
Which might seem like an overkill, yet it was a required move for what Hunter had been desiring.
As the red rose blossomed in his hand, Hunter chucked it into the woman\'s mouth, whose parted lips were bobbing from pain, shame, and disbelief.
To top out this first battle, Hunter ensured his words spread far and wide across the training grounds!
"Keep that rose close… so I don\'t fuck you twice."
