Chapter 316

Dangerous Monsters of Skyte and Malaise [Part 1]

“...and so, the characteristic of monsters that appear in Skyte is that a relatively large number of them use psychic attacks.”

The extracurricular lesson officially started today.

The teacher explained that even inside the Kingdom, the types of monsters would be completely different depending on where they appeared.

“Professor, then can rocs from last night also release some kind of psychic attack?”

The students listened to the teachers more seriously than usual as they would soon do hands-on practice in the forest with the hunters and guard knights.

“...No, rocs don’t appear that frequently in the first place. The Kingdom would have perished long ago if they had appeared often.”

The teacher stole glances at each member of the Stuart family who was taking the lesson quietly... such an astonishing family that killed that monster with one shot and ate it in one sitting.

“That’s true. Flying-type monsters have a low appearance rate, don’t they?”

Emma muttered while remembering the taste of the bird meat curry and tandoori roc she had last night.

I often passed by here, Skyte Barony, on my way home. Leonard squinted, feeling nostalgic.

Leonard’s wild story entered the teachers’ ears even though they didn’t mean to eavesdrop, and it astonished them.

Skyte hunters, who were standing by on the side to help with the hands-on practice, also couldn’t believe their ears.

He went out of his way to hunt monsters and eat them?

Many kinds like darkness and were more active during the night.

Psychic-attacking monsters, in particular, aroused and amplified people’s fear, so encountering them at night would be extremely terrifying, even for adults.

Translator’s corner: The Stuart clan has been mentioned several times now and if you pay attention to the dialogues between hunters in this series, all hunters seem to respect the Stuart clan as a whole (not just the main household aka Leonard’s family).

Here’s an illust of the Stuart clan members from LN Vol 5 (please ignore the existence of a certain Old Man Hoi Hoi in the pic)

I feel like compared to the other Stuart men, Leonard can still be considered a “pretty boy”.
