The Story of Demon Hunter

The Pine Forest

After making plans, everyone returned to rest.

Just then, Daiki was shocked when suddenly stopped by someone. Looking at the man, he became somewhat suspicious. After all, the one who stopped him was the man who was Arthur's subordinate.

‘Did my disguise get caught? Is my acting getting worse?’

Calming down, Daiki then asked.

“Is there a problem? I guess you're Arthur's subordinate, right? Did he ask you to meet me?”

“No, Mr. Daiki. First of all, introduce, my name is Jotaro. I was a member of the 10th Division under Boss Arthur.

Actually, among the members, I am the weakest. I have no clue which way to move. Just this afternoon, I saw how you fought. The strength is amazing, not fast, but it has a very amazing defense. I don't use an axe. I think that fighting style is suitable for me.

Saying something like this might be rude and disrespectful. However, please guide you, Mr Daiki!”

Jotaro bowed politely. Both of his hands clenched tightly as he said in a trembling voice.

“I want to be strong! I am sick of feeling weak and a burden! I want to protect and not just be protected!”

“...”

Hearing that, Daiki was stunned. He did not expect that the young man before him was so sincere and determined. Young and had noble dreams, completely rendering him speechless.

Although Daiki looked to be in his late twenties, about thirty years old. In reality, he was almost forty-five years old. Therefore, he felt extremely depressed when he saw the two other division heads.

After all, most people who were considered to be truly geniuses would break through the platinum level before the age of 50. Otherwise, it is very difficult to break through that level unless lucky to find a certain discovery that helped him break the batasa.

“Bless your head! Jotaro, right? I don't know what kind of martial arts you practice. Think of it as similar to my martial arts. That in itself has been a good deal.

What you need now is determination! If you just continue to think of yourself as trash who never catch up with your peers, then you will indeed not be able to catch up with them. So stop thinking about something unnecessary. If you can, take the time to trust yourself and your efforts!

Rest assured! Your efforts will definitely pay off! Don't get carried away with small accomplishments if your goals are big. Don't worry or hesitate for too long, walk because your goal is far away and you can't reach it if you just stay in place.”

Saying that, Daiki walked past Jotaro while patting the young man on the shoulder.

“I believe you, Son!”

After saying that, Daiki left. Jotaro was stunned in his place for a moment. Yet a determined look finally appeared in his eyes. At that time, Daiki never expected ...

It turns out he played a big part in Arthur and Jotaro's change!

Next morning.

“Arthur, Arthur .. view! I managed to do it!”

After breakfast, Lily does a backyard workout. Make a fireball, shrink it, raise it, split it into pieces, put it back together, and get it back to normal.

Meanwhile, Jotaro continued to practice using a thick and heavy iron samsak. Her tubes were covered in bruises and sweat, but she did not complain at all or stop practicing.

Arthur himself sat in the backyard writing something on a scroll using a brush and ink. Since fighting with Daiki, the young man had somewhat liked to write and tried to tinker with the skill in order to match him. It was like developing a cooking recipe so that it fit his tongue. That kind of feeling ...

Arthur did not hate him.

Finished writing a little, Arthur immediately told Lily to come closer. He gave the girl a Cursed Blood Umbrella. The young man then told Lily to control the fire using the umbrella. With that weapon, the target was to bring up three fireballs directly, shrink, raise, divide them into twelve, and fuse them into one large fireball.

Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Turning his head, Arthur saw Daiki walking towards them.

“Is there a problem, Senior Daiki?” ask Arthur.

“I came to give you a map. Here, the route we take is written in detail. You should memorize it because it is also important.

In addition, I will also inform you that the preparations are almost complete. We can leave the day after, take good care of your condition. Practice is okay, but do not force yourself especially until injured.

Oh? What are you doing, Arthur? What kind of thick book is that?”

“I'm studying body structure, human anatomy, Senior. Although already have some knowledge, but this knowledge is more complete.”

Arthur himself had actually learned a lot. However, this time he was planning on exploring some other things. The young man did not feel like he was forcing himself. Besides cooking, another hobby is reading books.

“Eh?”

Daiki. Seeing the many scribbles on the scroll that looked complicated, the corner of the man's lips twitched. He really did not expect that such a thing could still be done by humans. The more Arthur knew, the more Daiki became convinced that the way his junior brain worked was completely different from that of a normal person or an ordinary cultivator.

‘You really still have time to read such a book? Really am. I'm getting curious, besides giving birth, what can't you do?’

Shaking his head, Daiki finally gives the scroll to Arthur. After having the young man memorize it, he immediately left. The man really felt uncomfortable being there.

There was one person who punched a huge iron beam like a raging ferocious beast. There was also the girl who looked like an expressionless puppet playing with fire like an evil spirit. In addition, the leader himself seems to like reading and researching something like a mad scientist. Such a place ...

It really wasn't suitable for a normal person like him!

Almost a week has passed.

It had been four days since Division 9 and Division 10 traveled to complete the mission together. For Division 10, there were only 3 people including the chairman. While Division 9, Daiki only brought 50 subordinates, a total of 52 people including himself and the branch chairman.

In these four days, all of them had not encountered any problems at all. Now, they finally reached the foot of the mountain where the Frost Wyvern lived.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a vast pine forest. To reach the location, they had to pass through it. At first, everything went fine. But after Lily moves in to dig up a mushroom and give it to Arthur, the line falls apart.

People immediately started looking for mushrooms in a panic. After tasting Arthur's cooking once, they missed him. Seeing that the young man seemed to want to cook mushrooms, they were immediately excited to look for ingredients for him.

Become a free worker!

“You messed things up, Arthur.”

Daiki said with a helpless expression. But the man did not scold Arthur at all. Although unhappy that their trip was delayed, he was also somewhat looking forward to the young man's cooking.

“Sorry, Senior Daiki. You should have stopped them.”

“No need. Look at all of them, really acting like little mushroom pickers. Absolutely unreliable.”

After saying that, Daiki again gave the order.

“Founded tent. Tonight, we'll stay here. You guys can be a little more relaxed because after this trip we will become heavier.”

Approving Daiki's advice, they end up camping in the pine forest for the night.
