Chapter 30: Hayata's Dream
In the early morning in Minagard, the vendors have not yet come out of their stalls, and most of the citizens have not yet gotten up, and there are always bustling stone streets, and there are not many pedestrians at this time.
In a rare occurrence, Hayatta did not wear a skirt, but a set of cotton trousers that made it easy to move.
At this time, she trotted all the way behind her uncle Pine, although she pursed her lips and pretended to be serious, but the excitement and anticipation in her eyes could not be hidden.
Pyne, who was walking in front, pursed his lips and looked like Hayatta with a serious expression, but there was no smile in his eyes, but he was full of anxiety.
They were on their way to a hunter's residence.
As he walked, Pyne's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head, his tone full of uneasiness and helplessness: "I said, Hayata, do you really not think about it anymore?"
Monster Hunter is the most dangerous job, and you're a girl, if something happens, teach me how to deal with my brother and sister-in-law in heaven?
Anyway, didn't you say you wanted to be a musician or a painter before, how nice that was, elegant and ......."
"Nope! Uncle Pine, I'm going to be a hunter! Hayata's response was crisp and sharp.
"Hey......"
Pyne's head hurts, and conversations like this have been repeated countless times in more than a month.
After being attacked by monsters but fortunately escaped with the help of hunters, the caravan canceled its trip and returned directly to Minagarde City.
The cargo was lost, several members were killed, many were injured, and the caravan suffered heavy losses.
The most troublesome thing is that many of the caravan members who have witnessed their companions being torn apart by monsters and themselves being injured or even disabled have quit their caravan jobs and left the chamber of commerce.
After all, no one can guarantee that the next trip will be safe.
Even those who stayed behind were haunted by nightmares, and their hearts still beat when they remembered the events of that day, including Pyne himself.
But Hayatta was the only exception.
Far from leaving fear in her heart, the experience of that day gave birth to a more dangerous idea: she wanted to be a hunter, a monster hunter whose job was to hunt monsters.
At first, Pyne thought that Hayatta was just a whim, a little girl who was in a rebellious period at the age of fourteen or fifteen, who hasn't been a little willful?
But a month later, Pyne realized he was wrong.
Although Hayatta is naughty and active, she is essentially a very obedient and well-behaved child.
For more than ten years, she has almost never been willful and has lost her temper, which makes Pine, who often goes far away, and the nanny aunt who is responsible for taking care of her daily life feel very relieved.
This time, however, she was unusually stubborn.
For more than a month, painstaking persuasion, the lure of delicious food and beautiful dresses have not changed her determination in the slightest.
For this reason, Pine even got angry with her for the first time and locked her up.
Faced with Pyne, who was on fire, Hayatta didn't say anything, and even if he was grounded, he just silently walked into his room and sat in silence.
After a few days and nights, looking at Hayatta, who used to be as bright as a little sun, her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were sunken as if they had been coated with soot, and even her smooth chestnut hair had lost its luster, as if she had lost her soul.
The middle-aged businessman whose daughter controls the essence surrenders......
"Okay, okay, when your hunter goes! I don't know if your little arms and legs can hold weapons and wear armor! That's what Pyne, who was self-defeating at the time, said.
So, Hayatta got what she wanted.
The little girl who got her wish regained her former vigor and chattered around Pyne, asking when she would be able to send her to the hunter training camp for training.
In larger human settlements, the Hunter Guild has a special training institution for newcomers, and large cities like Minagard are no exception.
But Pine didn't want his precious niece to go through that kind of Spartan training!
Not to mention anything else, he has also heard of the training content of the local hunter training camp, the basis is barbell dumbbells, weight-bearing cross-country and the like.
After a few years of training, the teenagers naturally have knotted muscles, girls, uh......
There are relatively few women who volunteer to be hunters, after all, most girls are beauty-loving, and an overly strong body is a nightmare for them.
Pyne couldn't accept that his beautiful and lovely niece had become like a gorilla.
In fact, Pyne and most people have a misconception about female hunters, and female hunters who are inherently weak in strength and size rarely choose heavy weapons.
Ranged support weapons are very popular among female hunters, and even though some are naturally belligerent and prefer close combat, they mostly choose agile types such as kataku swords and dual blades.
Of course, it's not uncommon to like extreme examples of heavy weapons such as sledgehammers, and that's really Tarzan......
Rather than the collective training at the training camp, Pyne, who had specifically inquired about the relevant news, preferred another hunter training model - that is, the "old and new" that is common in many industries.
In short, it is a one-on-one guide for newcomers by senior hunters to help them complete their training in the form of apprentices.
In small human settlements at the village and town level, most of the young hunters complete their training in this way, after all, it is difficult for an ordinary village to gather so many young people who volunteer to be hunters to form a "training camp".
As for who to find to teach Hayata, Pyne also has a plan in mind.
As a native of Minagarde, Pyne has many friends, some of whom he has since childhood.
And Amos was one of them.
In Pine's impression, Amos should be a pretty good hunter.
Pine wasn't very clear about the hierarchy of hunters, but he vaguely remembered hearing the Hunters' Guild Lady praise a client, "Lord Amos is the superior hunter!" ”
From the proud spirit of Kanban Niang and the client, "Ah, then I'm completely relieved!" Judging from the reaction, the upper hunter must be very powerful, right?
is strong, and he is an old friend who has known each other for many years, and his character and character are well known, so he can rest assured that such a person can teach and cultivate Hayata.
In addition, another important reason why Pyne wanted Hayatta to learn from Amos was the latter's "size".
Among the hunters he came into contact with, the muscular brothers with big shoulders and round waists accounted for the majority, and compared to them, Amos was very "slender".
Hmm, or maybe it should be more appropriate to say "lean" in a different way.
If the muscular mass of the power hunters is reminiscent of hard granite, then the muscles of Amos, the tightropes that twist around the bones, are extremely refined.
Pyne asked this question specifically during the drinking together, and Amos explained that it was the result of a different workout method and weapon choice.
As an agile hunter who uses a sword, overdeveloped muscles can slow down the speed and agility of his movements.
As for the strength of heavy weapons, and the agility of light weapons, there is no point in comparison, it can only be said that each has its own advantages in different situations.
