Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

It was like a silver beam of light gathering strength and shooting out. When Saki came to her senses, her sight was already occupied by the boy's long silver hair floating in front of her eyes.

Hoshimi held her sword in front of Saki.

In stark contrast to the cute appearance, that damn sense of security.

Keng——!

The harsh sound of bones and metal colliding.

Zhu Tu's fangs collided head-on with the blade in Xingjian's hand.

"Stop, stop!" Jiuyue and the instructor said in disbelief.

The scene before my eyes was filled with what could be described as a strange sense of disharmony.

The thin Xingjian, holding the slender sword tightly in both hands, withstood the charge of the giant wild boar king, which was ten times larger than himself, without retreating a single step.

"As expected of me." While marveling at Xingjian's terrifying power, Jiuyue couldn't help but secretly praise herself: "Forged sword."

The impact of the wild boar king's fangs is so powerful that it cannot be blocked by physical strength alone.

If the forging quality is not very strong, a slender blade like that of a katana will break first.

Of course, the most surprised person at this moment was the wild boar king who was blocked.

The instincts of wild animals are far stronger than those of humans.

Instead of judging by appearance and size, the wild boar king's instinct told him that the thing standing in front of him was just another creature in human skin.

That is enough to imprint the fear of death into the DNA of all monsters, absolute suppression in the species dimension.

"Get out!"

Xingjian said this, and the indescribable feeling of oppression almost made the wild boar king's limbs go limp as he kicked the ground.

"Don't retreat!"

The beast's eyes flashed red, and then there was a loud wild boar roar.

I am the wild boar king!

The king has stubborn dignity. Throughout his life, the wild boar king has never retreated a single step.

It's the same this time.

The wild boar king regained strength in his limbs, roared with his last dignity, and rushed forward again.

"..."

So, how to fight next?

At first, Hoshimi only wanted to protect Saki who was in crisis and prevent her from being eliminated and failing the test, so she stood in front of the Great Boar King.

Unexpectedly, I met a stubborn guy who didn't know how to retreat at all.

Now it has become a one-on-one duel between him and the Wild Boar King.

Xing Jianke has never fought with a human body, and he knows nothing about the fighting style of a katana.

Can I only restore it through memory?

Xingjian has only one person's memory of how humans fight.

Erica.

Although Erica's commonly used weapon is not a katana.

But in Xingjian's opinion, the usage of this kind of human weapon that can be swung should be similar.

"I remember..."

The memory of the battle engraved in Hoshimi's mind.

("—"Wild Storm: Soaring Dragon"!!")

Erica, armed with the "Wind God Dragon", unleashed a move that shattered the Hoshimi Dragon Claw.

Originally, it was a sword technique that used the blade to stir up a violent gust of wind, which was then gathered into a tornado by the weapon, blowing the prey away.

Of course, Hoshimi doesn't have the weapons of the "Wind Dragon".

So this knife was just Xingjian's simple imitation of Erica's moves.

But there is a saying that goes, "A strong man can fly bricks."

“——『Wild Storm: Soaring Dragon』!!”

At this moment, the pendant on Xingjian's chest was faintly swaying with dim starlight.

The blade got stuck in the tusk of the giant boar king at a tricky angle, and Xingjian swung out an upward slash with a cool move name.

Although there was no tornado gathering on the blade, Xingjian still managed to lift the giant wild boar king, which was ten times larger than himself, to a height of dozens of meters due to the difference in absolute strength.

No, if you insist on saying it's Tornado, then there is a little bit.

The giant wild boar king spiraled upwards, and indeed brought up a small tornado formed by the gathering of dust below.

Boom-!

After falling freely from a height of dozens of meters and a deafening thud that shook the entire training ground, the wild boar king, who had never retreated in his life, not only retreated but also lost consciousness on the spot.

"Hey, hey." Jiu Yue and Instructor Gao De accidentally dropped the melon seeds in their hands and couldn't believe their eyes: "Instant kill!"

Even for an experienced hunter, it would take some effort to hunt the wild boar king.

After all, the thickness of its fur is several times that of an ordinary wild boar, which provides the wild boar king with excellent defense.

As a result, Xingjian's sword... was too exaggerated in every sense.

"Is this how I use the sword I made?"

Jiuyue was very happy, relieved and touched that Xingjian was finally able to choose the weapon he made to participate in the test.

Even if Hoshimi is willing, this sword can be given to Hoshimi for free.

But, it doesn't seem right!

It would be more accurate to say that Xingjian knocked the Wild Boar King unconscious rather than killing him with one blow.

This has nothing to do with the weapons used!

In addition to blocking the attack from the wild boar king, he also relied on the hardness of the sword forged in September.

The subsequent sword strike——『Wild Storm·Soaring Dragon Sky Drive』?

Even if Xingjian had a stick in his hand, the final effect would probably be the same.

Instructor Jiu Yue and Gao De, who were watching from afar, were still amazed.

Feeling the power of the sword up close, Saki, who had already disarmed her Fox God transformation, was so frightened that she sat down on her butt, breathing rapidly and her face flushed.

Why am I blushing?

Saki couldn't quite explain this feeling.

The girl felt that her heartbeat was so fast for the first time in seventeen years.

A boy who is prettier than most girls already really appeals to Saki.

However, Xingjian still held a grudge against him and stood in front of him at the critical moment.

That saving blow, that blow, literally cut into Saki's heart.

Is this the heart-pounding feeling that Lord Palace Administrator mentioned?

("Do you think hunting is a game?")

Facing the extremely powerful Xingjian, he actually said such rude words.

It turns out that the person who is truly self-righteous and doesn't realize the dangers of hunting is another fool.

Yes, that's me!

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Gaode's classic three-part laugh: "Congratulations, you passed!"

Xingjian's performance obviously far exceeded his expectations.

If such talents join the Yunxue Village Hunting Association, it will undoubtedly add considerable combat effectiveness to the village.

Especially in this special period like the current one, when there is an extreme shortage of hunters and a potential dragon migration crisis, Xingjian's appearance is a timely help.

As for Saki.

Even though he was defeated by the Wild Boar King, just because he had a level 6 armed card, he could become a hunter directly without even taking the entry test.

After all, looking at the registered hunters in the entire guild, there are quite a few who still don't have armed cards.

The defensive power provided by the weapon cards is life-saving for hunters who are constantly on the edge of a knife. At least it is difficult to die during the hunt.

"Instructor Gao De, I cannot accept this result."

After brushing off the dust on her butt, Saki stood up with a blushing face and refused to pass.

"I'm a fool and not qualified to be a hunter. Please let Xingjian be qualified."

"Actually, it's not that strict." Instructor Gao De laughed awkwardly, "You call yourself an idiot..."

"I've made up my mind!"

Have you decided to be a fool?

"Okay..." Gao De didn't quite understand, but still agreed.

Ignoring the instructor's 'good intentions', Saki walked straight up to Hoshimi.

Looking into each other's eyes up close, the boy's stunning ice-blue eyes seemed even more alluring than his delicate facial features. Saki, who had finally managed to calm down, felt her heartbeat quicken once again.

"Here you go." Hoshimi returned the spear that was stuck in the giant boar king to Saki.

Taking the weapon, her fingertips touched inadvertently, and Saki subconsciously moved her fingers to clench her grip, holding the gun in her arms.

"Thank you. The second principle of Tsukiyo Shinwu-ryu is to repay a favor. I will definitely repay you."

"Repay? Okay." Xingjian made a request: "Then give me money."

"You guy..." Jiu Yue sighed helplessly, holding his forehead.

When a beautiful girl asks you to repay her kindness, you just ask for money directly. When it comes to flirting with girls, the street thugs are better than you.

"money?"

Normally, this kind of operation that asks for money right away should reduce your favorability.

But Hoshimi's straightforward, pure eyes, and her straightforward words didn't make Saki feel disgusted at all. She even wanted to pay directly.

Xing Jian must have his own difficulties to make such a request.

As long as she paid, Saki was willing to do it.

pity……

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring any money with me. But if you're really short of money."

Saki reached into the chest of the miko's uniform, pulled out an item, and handed it to Hoshimi.

"Here you go. You can exchange this for money at the merchant. Or, take this to Tsukishiro Shrine and see me."

The dark, translucent jade also had a touch of the warmth of Saki's personal belongings.

Jiuyue leaned in closer to observe. "Prayer Jade, you really are the shrine maiden of Tsukiyo Shrine. Being a shrine maiden is so easy, why do you want to be a hunter?"

"Actually," Saki muttered, her cheeks blushing, "I'm very shy about showing my armpits."

However, due to the rules set by the chief priest, the uniforms of the shrine maidens at Tsukiyo Shrine must expose their armpits.

"Just to change careers and become a hunter?" Jiu Yue said, "It's really a matter of life and death."

For the impoverished Jiu Yue, in order to maintain his knife shop with no business, he chose to work part-time as a hunter.
