Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Noah maintained a polite smile on his face, "So it's you. The professor mentioned this to me and he has been waiting for you for a long time.

By the way, Miss Olivia, do you need help with the dragon hunting mission?

"Assistant?" Olivia wasn't sure what the other party meant.

"Look, there's a three-person team that's hoping to join this Dragon Slayer hunt. Although they're young, they're already four-star hunters and have assisted the professor with investigations more than once.

The ferocious Tailed Hammer Dragon that caught the guild's attention this time was captured by their team. They also participated in the investigation of the unusual changes in the dense forest and are quite familiar with the terrain there."

Olivia raised a pale eyebrow.

Miss Noah maintained a smile on her face.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

After a few seconds, Olivia couldn't hold it in any longer. She asked curiously, "Ms. President, you seem to be very impressed with that team. Did they ask you to introduce them to them?"

"No, they were planning to come to you to discuss it themselves, but I thought that if I could help make this happen, I could do them a big favor." President Noah said with a smile.

She knew exactly how to deal with this kind of serious hunter.

That is, don't beat around the bush and say what you want to say.

"As the guild leader, you're doing them a favor?" Olivia was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha, it seems you really think highly of them."

"Yes!" Noah winked at her, "Everything I just said is true. If you have any questions, you can ask the professor or other hunters.

Saying they all have five-star strength might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not too difficult for the three of them to team up and hunt five-star monsters."

Olivia crossed her arms, her smile fading. "What if I refuse? This kind of thing isn't particularly legal to begin with. From my perspective, the chances of rejection are higher, right?"

"If you are so firm in your refusal that even my words as the Guild Master can't help, then their requests will be meaningless, right?

Those kids are smart, they can see this, so no matter what, I've already sold my favor~! Hehehe."

"...You really are! This is the first time I've met a guild leader like you." Olivia held her forehead and shook her head helplessly.

"If it's really as you said, then they will indeed become an important aid in the hunting process, rather than a burden. From this perspective, I have no reason to refuse.

But to decide whether to agree or not, I still need to meet him in person first to understand more."

"No problem! I'll ask them to come find you later!" Noah responded with a smile.

Since the other party said so, it means that the matter is mostly done!

Although what he said just now could easily give the other party a negative impression that he was shrewd and utilitarian, and had fooled the young hunters.

But what did it matter? Miss Olivia was unlikely to stay in Metabetat anyway, so let it be a negative impression. As long as it helped them get things done, that was good enough.

Olivia looked at Noah deeply and suddenly said, "You are a good president."

"Ah~ I've been seen through?" Noah no longer tried to maintain her previous image of a perfect poster girl. She supported her chin with her hand and leaned against the counter with her waist bent.

Whether they see through it or not will only affect her reputation in the other person's mind, which she doesn't care about.

"Whatever the reason, to be able to achieve this level for a local guild leader like you, those young men must have their own strengths."

Olivia nodded to Noah, “I’ll go talk to the professor first to understand the mission situation.

I'd be grateful if you could contact the hunters you mentioned. I'll have a chat with them."

"Okay! I'll help you contact them right now!"

The poster girl president yelled at the top of her lungs, "Olang! Muti! Come here quickly! The person you're looking for is here!!"

Chapter 269 Reliable Senior

"Really? You're younger than I expected." Olivia smiled bitterly.

When she heard the poster girl president talk about "young four-star hunters", her first reaction was a few juniors in their twenties.

Although he is a few years younger than me, he can still be considered as my peer.

As it turned out, among the three guys in front of him, the oldest shooter was only twenty-three years old, and as for the other two, they were not even twenty years old.

I used to think that I could be considered a young person at the age of 30, but when I was in front of them, I suddenly felt like I had already entered middle age.

A team like this, barring any unexpected events, would almost certainly grow into a top-tier hunting group.

For any city, even a metropolis like East Dorma, the upper hunting group is the backbone. Considering their age, this pillar can last for quite a long time.

No wonder the poster girl president values ​​them so much.

Of course, that is a matter for the future. Now they are still a little... Well, a four-star hunter can't be called "immature" at all.

"I heard President Noah briefly talk about you."

Olivia gathered her thoughts and words, "You're not new to the hunting grounds anymore. Even though I'm a few dozen years older than you, I don't have the airs of a senior to act like one.

May I ask you why you want to hunt that dragon-slaying beast?"

Muti and Muxiang, who were sitting across the long table, looked at Ao Lang together.

You say it, you say it!

Aolan straightened his posture and said, "Senior Olivia, there is actually no so-called hidden secret.

Our team's lancer's weapon is a bit outdated, so we hunt dragon slayers to gather materials to forge new weapons for her."

Olivia glanced at the defense team's rifles behind Muti and nodded, "So that's how it is.

To be honest, I just asked the professor about you, and he spoke very highly of you three.

Having earned the appreciation of both Guild President Noya and the professor, your abilities should be beyond doubt. I agree to form a team with you to hunt the Dragon Slayer together."

Olivia didn't beat around the bush and gave a direct reply.

"There's just one thing I need to emphasize. During the battle, you need to follow my instructions and not act recklessly. Okay?"

As she spoke, Olivia looked directly into Orlan's eyes.

Judging from the way the three of them get along, she thinks the latter should be the one in charge of this three-person team.

"Of course no problem!" Orlan agreed readily.

The other party was willing to take them along out of respect for Miss Noah and the others. Besides, Miss Olivia's hunter level was higher, so it was natural for her to be in charge of the command.

"You trust me so much?" Olivia looked at him with a smile.

Orlan raised his chin and pointed at the protective gear on Olivia.

It's not like he could trust any stranger five-star hunter he met for the first time with the lives of himself and his companions.

The guild guard suit on Olivia played a crucial role.

That set of armor is commonly used by guild knights. Hunters who use this set of armor, even if they are not armed personnel directly under the guild like guild knights, must be direct hunters recognized by the guild.

There is nothing wrong with understanding it as an endorsement from the guild.

As for abilities, the professor had previously mentioned that the guild attached great importance to this operation, and in this case, the hunters sent to assist should have outstanding abilities in all aspects.

"I see." Olivia nodded with a smile.

Conflicts in combat habits and struggles for command are the most common conflicts that arise when stranger hunters cooperate in hunting.

She admired Aolan's straightforward attitude. At least he was not the kind of spoiled brat who thought highly of himself and would not listen to anyone.

"Okay, now that we've formed a temporary team, let's get to know each other first." Olivia is also a straightforward person.

"I'm Olivia, a five-star hammer user. I often act alone, so I know a bit about everything. I can be a main midfielder, an attacker, or a shortstop.

And this is my partner, Athos, a battle cat who specializes in close combat."

Aolang and the other two also introduced their strengths and those of their hunting partners.

Olivia nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "A heavy vanguard who can balance defense and offense, a shooter who is proficient in both light and heavy crossbows and can roam and attack, and an attacker who can also serve as a shortstop.

You're all versatile, everyone. If you add a companion who's good at supporting you, you'll have a very well-rounded team."

Aolan smiled and said, "If you think it's necessary, I can use my one-handed sword as a support to participate in the battle."

"That's not necessary." Olivia shook her head. "The weapon on your back is the Icy Chopper, right? A pair of swords with dual attributes of ice and water, very useful against Dragon Slayer.

For the sake of theoretical comprehensiveness, it would be a shame to give up this powerful tool.”

Having said that, Olivia paused for a moment and looked at Muti, "Ms. Muti, with your defense team's muskets, it might be a bit stressful to withstand the Dragon Slayer head-on.

Are you good at the tactics of mutual cover and alternating suppression?"

"Senior, just call me Muti!" Muti gave a thumbs up. "Of course I can do alternating suppression. Aolan and I do that all the time."

"That's convenient. How about this, everyone?" Olivia placed her hands on the table. "With Muti and I cooperating and engaging head-on, it should be enough to contain Zhanlong.

As for the other two, just attack with all your strength.

Of course, this is just the general idea. Mobile combat, attempts to stun and knock down, the shooter observing the overall situation from a distance and giving warnings, and the attackers attacking at the right time, creating turning holes, etc. I won't explain them in detail one by one. You are all four-star hunters, you should understand everything you need to know."

Aolang and the other two nodded in unison.

In fact, from Olivia's tactical arrangements, it can be seen that she is also a hunter who focuses on offense, which is exactly in line with their team's combat habits.

If the person coming is a shooter who is good at long-range sniping, or a leader who focuses on protracted warfare, then they should think about how to adapt to the opponent's pace.

After roughly confirming the tactics, the hunters began to chat.

After a period of communication, Orlan and others discovered that the senior named Olivia was not as serious and stern as they had initially thought.

On the contrary, she is a very cheerful and talkative person.

He had a long and pleasant conversation with Orlan about the sledgehammer skills, complained with Muti about the deadpan face of a certain guild knight chief who never changed, and even chatted with Muxiang about dessert making.

Gives people a sense of being knowledgeable.

Seabuckthorn also kept circling around Athos, asking questions curiously.

This tough hunting cat, tall and strong, carrying a heavy cat sword on its back and with scars on its eyes left by monster claws, fits Seabuckthorn's stereotype of a "powerful hunting cat" very well.

Unlike Lord Xianglan, if I hadn't seen it in action with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a spoiled pet cat.

The fish balls were not very interesting.

Unlike Seabuckthorn who tinkered with mechanical props, as a pure warrior, it could roughly sense the opponent's strength.

He's a pretty capable guy, but he may not be able to surpass me.

As for the big body and scar on the face

Hehe, people who have seen the Deviljhodon will not realize how strong, ferocious and terrifying the Tyrannosaurus Rex is.

"The professor asked me to come and see how your conversation went." A cheerful voice reached the ears of the chattering group. Eric practically skipped over to the hunters' long table and said, "It seems like you guys are getting along quite well."

Olivia glanced at him, her face showing undisguised helplessness. "You look so cheerful, has the professor agreed to take you with him?"

"Of course!"

"Oh - I hope nothing happens." Olivia sighed.

Seeing her like this, Orlan knew without a doubt that this senior hammer master must have worked with the professor and Eric before.

"Senior Olivia, are you worried about Eric running around everywhere?" Orlan asked bluntly without paying any attention to Eric's presence.

"Hey!"

Olivia looked at him in surprise, then realized, "I almost forgot. The professor also said that you two have worked together more than once. No wonder you are so familiar with each other."

She didn't dare to mention Eric directly, but she implied that.

"Tie him up! Just tie him up!" Muti said before Oran.

"Isn't this a bit, not good?" Olivia asked hesitantly.

Orlan could see that Senior Olivia's personality was actually very similar to Senior Searle's. In a sense, she was too upright.

His face turned serious. "You have to realize that this is for his personal safety. Otherwise, if we go out into the wild, he might end up in a monster's lair if we're not careful."

"Hey!"

"It seems to make sense." Olivia, who was originally a little hesitant, nodded slowly.

P.S. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow and I'm going to be busy. I might not have enough time to write. Please take a day off orz

I'm on a business trip and will be back to normal updates tomorrow (the 2nd).
