"Red Star, are you still in a daze here? The Hunter Test is about to begin! ”

"Okay, I'll do it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Red Star, who was sitting on the roof and looking at the boundless sky in the distance, came back to his senses, looked down at the sapphire-like palm-sized thing in his hand again, put it away, and with a little force under his hips, he jumped off the roof and walked towards the small arena where the hunter test was located.

Bit Village is the only one of the few nearby villages that has a small arena, and at this time of year, children from nearby villages who turn 10 and aspire to become hunters come to Bit Village to take the hunter test.

Outside the small arena, the hunter instructor was holding his arms and looking at the school-age children who were gradually gathering to participate in the hunter test with a serious face, the number of people participating in the hunter test this year has increased a little compared to previous years, but the total is still less than ten.

Red Star? Bits, that's one of them.

"Very well, the people have arrived." The nine children, including Red Star, stood in a row, and the Hunter Instructor nodded and said, "I'm not going to talk any useless nonsense with you now, because it doesn't mean anything to those who can't pass the test, now start the first test." ”

The hunter instructor turned around, leaving Red Star with their backs, he slowly looked up at the wind-swept hunting flag that rose above the small arena, and said in a deep and resolute tone: "A hunter, first of all, he must have the courage to face his prey, the first test, the courage test!" In order, come in one by one, you, the first, come with me! ”

The hunter instructor turned back, pointed to the first one to the left of a row of nine children, and then walked into the small arena with the nervous child.

As soon as the hunter instructor left, the children who participated in the hunter test were undisciplined and immediately became active.

"Hey, what kind of test do you think the courage test will be?"

"Hmm...... It's a test of courage, right? ”

"Nonsense, if you say it, you don't say it."

……

"What is courage?"

"Stupid, the instructor has said that facing the prey is called courage!"

"I see, then I have it, this thing called courage, I made a face at the herbivorous dragon on the way here!"

……

Unlike the other children who were talking without any nervousness, Hongxing's face was full of solemnity.

【Courage Test...... Clearly told us in advance that this was a test of courage, there was no danger to life, and there was the care of the hunter instructor next to it, and it was a test that was difficult to even get injured! 】

Sure enough, the gap between reality and fiction is very different, the monster hunter game that Red Star played before the crossing is that everyone can become a hunter, the difference is only whether they can hunt those more and more powerful monsters one by one along the way, and in this real monster hunter world after crossing, if you want to become a hunter, you still need to take a qualification test.

[In other words, people who can't pass this so-called courage test even if they are mentally prepared have no need to train them to be hunters.] 】

[Could it be a female fire dragon?] 】

Considering the size of the small arena, the strength of the Hunter Instructor, and the monsters that might appear in the vicinity, Red Star pondered what kind of monsters would await him in the small arena.

Two years have passed since his body shrunk to the age of eight, and in two years, he knows that he is crossing a magnificent world called "Monster Hunter", but he can only stay in the village of Bit, which adopted him, and all he sees on weekdays is the herbivorous dragon that is raised in the village as labor, and all he hears on weekdays is the heroic deeds of the hunters described by the traveler, which is a torment for him who is not willing to be ordinary, and a torment for him who was touched by "Monster Hunter" before the crossing.

So, he's going to be a hunter! He must be a hunter, not a fisherman fishing in the estuary, not a miner in the mines, not a grocer who buys and sells groceries, he wants to go out, he wants to see this vast new world!

"Mom, it's scary, I'm going home! Woo~~"

Just as he was thinking, the child who had just entered the small arena had already run out crying.

"Next, you, come in."

The Hunter Instructor stepped out and let the second child in for a courage test, and this time, even though the Hunter Instructor was not in front of them, the remaining children were in no mood to speak, and instead were nervous.

"I don't want to be a hunter anymore! Woo~~"

The second child also ran out crying.

"Whew! Call! ”

The third child walked out with the help of the hunter instructor, and as soon as he came out, he fell to the ground with weak feet, gasping for breath, and couldn't get up for a long time, but judging by the instructor's expression, he should have passed this courage test.

The fourth child was fainted and picked up by the hunter instructor.

grunt

Because Red Star, who was the last in line, could hear the child standing next to him swallowing.

[To make them so scared, it seems that it is a female fire dragon]

The female fire dragon, known as the "Queen of the Earth", is known as the nightmare of the rookie hunter, compared to the monsters such as the Swift Dragon King and the Boar King before it, it makes the hunters from chasing monsters to chopping and forcing them to change the hunting method of avoiding monsters, and its hideous appearance, powerful claws and winged claws, and huge size, all make people feel frightened.

[Strange, I always feel like I've overlooked something]

Without waiting for Red Star to think of the things he had overlooked, one after another, it was soon his turn, and of the eight children before him, only two passed the courage test.

"You're the only one...... Well, he looks calm, and I hope I don't get down later. The Hunter Instructor glanced at Red Star more, but as he had said at the beginning, as long as he didn't say anything nonsense to people who didn't pass the test, and he didn't want to know the names of these people, he motioned for Red Star to enter the small arena and begin the courage test.

This is the first time that Red Star, who lives in Bit Village, has entered the small arena, the entire small arena is carved out of a rock wall, it is divided into two areas, namely the rest area and the fighting area, the two areas are isolated by a fence, generally speaking, after the hunter enters the fighting area from the rest area, the fence will be lowered until the hunter completes the fighting skills, or the fighting skills fail and are carried away by the cat cart.

Red Star, who didn't seem nervous at first, suddenly became a little nervous at this time.

It's not the same!

It's not at all!

Just passing through the door of the small arena gave him the feeling of coming from home to the Amazon jungle, and compared to the village of Bit outside, the wind blowing here gave him a different feeling - it was extremely cold!

Shake ~ shake shake ~~

The hunting flags above the small arena shook in the cold wind, as if blowing a rousing horn.

His heart began to beat violently at the sound of the trumpet.

"Let's go inside."

The hunter instructor said lightly.

Red Star nodded, he took a deep breath, held his breath, walked through the fence, step by step, into the fighting area.

And then......

Red Star finally thought of something he had overlooked.

A boar king!

He would love to use the phrase of a wild boar king.

But he can't!

In the game "Monster Hunter", the size of the monster is not highlighted at all, a wild boar king is about 400-600 cm in length, and it is only not much larger than the size of the hunter in the game, but what about in the real world?

I saw that dozens of meters away from him, a huge boar king, at least six meters long and more than three meters tall at a glance, was holding up its fangs more than one meter long, and with its bowl-sized eyes, it was eyeing the red star who walked into the fighting area!

Have you ever seen a wolfdog?

The wolfdog is 50 to 80 centimeters tall at the withers and will not exceed two meters long with a tail, but when such a wolfdog gallops towards you with sharp teeth, do you have the courage to face it?

I'm telling you! Even if such a wolf dog is chained to death, when it pounces on you, you know that it can't pounce on you, and you will still be scared to retreat!

So, have you ever seen a six-meter truck?

When a big truck slams on the gas pedal and crashes into you, are you really brave enough to face it?

Whew~Whew~

The six-meter-long Wild Boar King snorted a few times, and every time he gasped, he brought the dust that flew off in the small arena, and rushed towards the red star, carrying the heavy body odor of the Wild Boar King.

Wow~Wow~

The boar king's front hooves were gouging the ground, and the hard stone floor was gouging out hoof marks.

Thundered!

The Boar King began to run, it broke through the wind, it was unstoppable, it was invincible!

At this moment, where does Red Star want to get any courage test!

[Can't escape! Can't escape! 】

[Avoid it!] Avoid it! 】

Years of gaming experience seem to have turned into instinct, and instinct tells Red Star that turning around and running at this time is a dead end! Only by avoiding the collision route of the Wild Boar King who is going straight can you have a chance of survival!

At this time, Hongxing is no longer working hard for the test, he has only one thought in his mind, that is, live!

In order to live!

"It's now!"

The charging distance of dozens of meters passed in the blink of an eye, and the red star stared at him with wide eyes, and finally determined that the charging route of the Wild Boar King had been locked, its charging speed had reached its peak, and it could no longer change direction at this charging speed.

Red Star shouted, then jerked to the side.

Boom!

With all his might, his whole body was hit by the hard stone ground, his nose and face were swollen, and his face was covered with dust, but he didn't care about this, he struggled to get up in embarrassment, and looked back at the wild boar king, ready for the next impact.

"Okay, Ah Meng, I've worked hard for you, go back."

I saw that the Boar King braked sharply less than thirty centimeters in front of the position where Red Star was standing, and then stretched out its thick tongue in front of the hunter instructor who came in at some point, and licked the hunter instructor's hand intimately.

[I...... Survived? 】

[This...... Is it a test of courage? 】

Hongxing came back to his senses at this time, his heart was beating violently, and he was terrified.

Bang Bang Bang!

After sending the Boar King away, the Hunter Instructor clapped his palms and came to the Red Star, who was still immersed in the thrilling scene just now, and said, "Very good, you are the best child I have ever seen in the courage test in so many years!" Congratulations, you passed the courage test! ”

"I ...... Has it passed? ”

Red Star was a little confused, and his legs were a little weak.

"Well, although it's only the first courage test, as long as you pass this one, the next problem is not big, basically, you're already a hunter candidate! What is your name? ”

"Red Star, Red Star? Bit. ”

"Hahaha, it turned out to be from our village!" The hunter instructor laughed when he saw the material that could be made, the name of the people in this world is very simple, usually one to three words of the name, plus the suffix of the village and town, so as soon as you hear the name of others, you can basically know the origin.

"Red Star? Bit," the Hunter Instructor's face became serious again, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, "Are you ready?" ”

"I ...... You ready! ”

"Good, Red Star? Bit, welcome to the world of the Hunter! ”
