My Last Hunt

Chapter 125: Level Four (25)

Level Four (25)

Something Is amiss: 

Their weapons clashed.

Qiao had close range weapon but it could easily dodge or stop the opponent. Just now when he clashed with the other guy, a could feel a strange sense. The opponent didn't seem to be putting in all his effort in the earlier attack. It was for someone like Qiao who was keeping eyes at the minute details. 

It was impossible for a near level five hunter to not be able to show the superiority over another lower levelled chaser. 

"You are not going to surrender in defeat, are you?" Qiao smirked to look at his serious expressions. 

"You should not be taking it easy young boy if you don't want to lose life here in the Snow Island. I am just observing your upper limits and assessing whether you can give me a tough fight or you are just a loser." He shrugged his shoulders and applied force. Qiao stepped back with the impact. 

He was overwhelmed by the word loser when he heard it. Back in his world, he was also labelled a loser. And that was not because he could not get good grades but because he had nothing in his life. No status, no wealth, no strength. Whenever he was called such, he would either lose his temper or his calm reasoning.

This hunter was a scheming and manipulative one, who was very well aware about the young boys who chose to become hunters. They normally belong to poor families and playing with their emotions was easy for him. He was doing the same with Qiao now. 

Qiao heard this and furiously charged toward him. Now he was not thinking about anything else. "You are the one who is a loser, you are the one who is shame for his family, come at me and I'll tell you who is the loser." Qiao was speaking all this and attacking the hunter. 

He was fuming, the hunter had really triggered him now. Now his attacks were blind and his centre of focus was the hunter, he wanted to let him see who was the loser. The hunter was waiting for this. He was not here to defeat this guy and then snatch the booklet from him, but he had a different plan for him. 

He wanted to implicate this young man in a bigger mess and then the booklet would belong to him in the end. He was fending off the attacks smartly and enjoying how the young boy was behaving immature. For half an hour, Qiao kept struggling and finally he left a first injury at the right cheeks of the hunter. 

He was glad to see this and smirked, 

"Now, how is it, tell me who is the loser." he waved the shapeless weapon and the hunter slightly touched his cheeks, the cut was bleeding. "I am still the one with the upper hand, you cannot defeat me no matter what." he calmly spoke and attacked. 

This angered Qiao again. He was frustrated now, and he even started imagining that the hunter resembled the gym guy who was the biggest bully of his life. 

The shape of their brows also matched. 

"You will be loser in the end, I say." he again attacked. Their fight was going on and the chaser who was keeping eyes was unable to understand this useless fight. 

The hunter who was clearly strong was not actually attacking or maybe he was not in the mood to injure the opponent, but that can't be true. He seemed to be killing his time and waiting for something and chilling by a mock practice of fight. Meanwhile the senior team who had gone to see the dead part of lake was coming back after the weather turned horrible. 

Whatever they had managed to search was enough to prove the presence of strong monster and they were going to give this report to the organizers. The team at that moment saw the two chasers fighting each other and stopped. 

"Why they are fighting, instead of going back to the encampment." the senior hunter was clearly displeased to see this. 

They were already worried for the safety of the encampment and here they were fighting which showed how careless they were. "Let's ask what is the crisis between them?" one of them moved and others followed. 

The small matters or disagreement between the teams were normal and they can be addressed by mere talk. Moreover, since the senior team saw them they were responsible to stop the juniors from fighting and settle the matter. 

The hunter had already sensed that the senior team has seen then so he pretended how vulnerable he was at this moment. He did not stop the attack and instead slipped and fell on the snow while Qiao pointed his weapon at his neck. 

"Stop this foolishness." a senior voiced Qiao to stop it. Qiao was alarmed to see a whole team who clear bear the aura of level five. He thought that perhaps this hunter asked his comrades to appear at the time of need. The chaser who was keeping eyes from afar was already baffled to see a stronger team. 

"Did this hunter asked you to come and kill me?" Qiao asked by pointing his weapon toward them. The hunter was pretending until now barely stood up and fell in front of the senior team. "Seniors please save me from this snatcher, I thought I will die today but you appear fortunately." 

The team looked at the both chasers and then the one who was pleading, he was slightly injured too. 

"Why you are after his life, don't you know the rules of Snow Island encampment?" the senior got angry at Qiao and asked him solemnly. 

Qiao was shocked at the turn of events, he was being questioned like a criminal while the opponent was actually begging for life. He shook his head to understand what just happened and why the hunter seemed victim. Why he was pleading when both were agreed for this duel earlier. He seemed to the understand the plot of this hunter now.
