Chapter 130: HUNTER TEST
Inside the Hunter Guild’s main hall, various hunters sat in groups around different tables. Some were discussing recent dungeon raids, others were talking about family problems or the political issues of the kingdom. Some faces showed signs of worry or fatigue, while others seemed simply happy to enjoy the present moment.
"I heard there’s going to be another hunter selection test today. I don’t know why people willingly walk into the jaws of death," said a young man around 25 or 26 years old, speaking to his tablemates.
"Well, not everyone’s a coward like you, Ronald. Some people actually want to fight back. Or what do you want? Everyone should just sit quietly and wait for dungeon breakouts to wipe us all out?" replied a female hunter beside him who looked around 22 or 23. Her answer was driven by emotion.
"Who are you calling a coward, Jessi? It’s not like I avoid dungeon raids! I just said I don’t understand why people are so reckless. How does that make me a coward?" he snapped back.
"Oh come on, you two. It’s just the morning and you’ve already started. Save that fighting spirit for your next raid," said another woman at the table, who looked around 20 years old.
"Well tell her, not me. She was the one trash talking about me, Melissa." Ronald didn’t feel happy being called a coward.
"She only me...." Melissa was about to say something but couldn’t finish her words. The last person sitting at the table slammed his hand on it and barked, "Dumbasses! All of you. Do you all want to die this bad?" He looked terrifying.
"No, boss." All three replied in unison. It was easy to tell that they were afraid of this fourth person. He was wearing a sleeveless black tunic showcasing his well-defined muscles. Even in this era of magic, his physique clearly showed his hard work and devotion. He was the leader of this small group.
"We are here to recruit new members for our team, don’t forget that. If you all fight like this among yourselves, who will join our team?" the muscular man lashed out.
"Well, who is going to join after seeing your scary face?" All three thought the same thing. But they didn’t dare let those thoughts come out.
