Chapter 884: The Biggest Hunt



Mira stood and looked at her sniper rifle. "This crack is far too deep; it can't be fixed." She sighed, throwing it into the pile of trash. "We'll see what we can salvage from it later." She looked at the other students, "Back to the drawing board. We need to make sure the barrel can withstand the heat and shock of firing."

"I'll help you." Merlin walked beside Mira. "Why don't you just make it like the one you gave Aron?"

"Then it'll be too heavy for us to use. He's strong, but I'm not." Mira replied, "Albeit, I know that I must make that barrel at least a bit thicker, which would make it heavier."

"Mira!" Ramy rushed in waving her hand, "That was a loud shot! Didn't I tell you not to fire that thing?" She looked at the rifle in the trash pile, "What if it exploded on your face."

"It'll be fine." Mira replied with a smile. Even if she didn't look like it, she was still a demi- goddess, an injury like that won't kill her.

"It won't be fine! I don't want to see you firing anything unstable anymore." Ramy growled as she waved her hand to all the students, "Make sure your weapons are safe to use. The alchemy class is making the paralyzing poison. With our guns and their poisonous concoction, we'll be able to hunt this jungle's wild beasts alive to harvest them."

The lesson that Betty prepared for the students on this trip was practical, having both classes test their abilities in the joint work of hunting live monsters. The artificer class would be able to make and see their weapons being used, and the alchemy class would be able to observe how different monsters react to their poison.

This jungle was indeed far too dangerous for such a stunt, but with Arad being among the students, Betty felt it was safe to send them. He's the biggest monster after all.

An hour later, Matilda and Selina returned only to find Arad had made a boatload of poison on his own. The amount was absolutely stunning. While all the students barely managed to fill a wine bottle; he had filled a whole barrel.

"How did you even make this?" Selina gasped, "It stinks!" Matilda closed her nose as she looked at the barrel.

Arad pointed with his thumb at a large steel pot, "I used that. It's not that complicated." He smiled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Where did you even hide that?" Matilda looked at Lucia, "Teacher, did you give him that?"

"No, he had it with him. Alongside a whole set of alchemical gadgets." She approached them, "He came prepared."

Arad reached into his pocket and pulled a doll, "Thanks to her. I never forget my equipment." Those were all Aisha's lab equipment that she had stored inside his stomach.

"It's that doll again." Selina reached with her hand and patted Aisha's head.

carriage."

"WAIT!" All the students gasped, "You aren't going to attack that massive monster, are

you?" One cried.

"Yeah, that's mine." Arad rests the barrel of his punt gun on the ground, "The best hunt in my life. And I need the funds." He smiled at them.

"Wait! You can't attack it; you're risking our lives alongside yours! What if it attacked us." A

girl glared at him.

"VERY WELL!" Isdis shouted from her carriage, walking out with a large smile on her face. "ARON, do you want to hunt that thing?"

"I don't want to hunt it. I am GOING to hunt it." Arad nodded as started walking toward the

monster.

"If that's the case, then wait." She looked at her knights, "Prepare the band! We shall sing him a war song." She was a bard and her main role in a party was buffing the other members using music. "Hunt it if you can!"

"Wait! Princess!" Zara gasped, "That monster is dangerous, one swing of its massive tail and we're crushed like a fly on the wall."

"You saw it, didn't you? Aron easily killed the Death Jaw barehanded; he wasn't his prey. This one on the other hand, it's massive, a worthy prey." Isdis giggled, "I too want to see how strong he really is."

"I too want to see it." Lucia shook her head, "Let's give this a try. I'll form a barrier around the carriages with Merlin to keep everyone safe." She already knew how powerful Arad was, and was certain this fight would be easy for him.

The only one who understood why Arad really wanted to hunt this massive monster was Mira,

she stood behind him with a wry smile. The human portion of food barely fills his belly, so he usually goes hunting at night for food. But even with that, he rarely gets such a massive meal to fill him. Arad will eat the monster's flesh, and leave the bones, scales organs to sell later.

Mira patted Arad's back, "Go hunt it."
