Chapter 9: First Hunt
"You a hunter?" A man asked, holding a sword on his lap
Kai nodded. "Yeah. Just registered yesterday."
"Ha, I remember when I was a hunter. Times were simpler back then."
"Are you an adventurer now?" Kai asked, taking a good look at his weapons and armor. Judging by how decked out he was, it was obvious that he was an adventurer because no hunter would need heavy armor to hunt a rabbit or wolf.
"That’s right." The man nodded. "Awakened my mana 7 years ago and switched occupations. These three are my companions."
"Hello." An Elf woman smiled, clearly a mage.
"Haha! It’s always nice to see young ones taking up arms!" A dwarf bellowed, his beard wet with Alcohol.
"..." The last woman, a catkin, simply nodded at Kai.
"Kid, let me give you a word of advice." The man spoke, leaning forward.
"What’s up?" Since he was new, Kai was open to advice, especially from someone who was an experienced hunter and adventurer.
"Take things slow. Don’t try to become the next hot topic around town. Learn and understand the way of the hunt. Eventually, after honing your skills and taking on red areas, challenge the Primal Beasts."
