Everyone's a Hunter? I'm a Hunter x Hunter!

Hunting Alliance Calendar, July of the 225th year of the Opening Era

Yunxing Prefecture, Tianqing Mountain.

The graduation exam for the 37th Apprentice Hunter Team in Sunny Town is underway.

Today is the fourth day of the graduation exams. The apprentice hunters took six basic tests: traps, archery, close combat, tracking, identification, and gathering.

Only those who achieve a grade of B or higher in all six basic subjects and pass the overall evaluation are eligible to "change jobs" to become a full-fledged hunter.

"Chen Xiaoming, Archery B; Close Combat B; Tracking C; Trap C; Identification C; Gathering A, Overall Rating: Unsatisfactory"

"Ke Dahong, Archery B; Close Combat B; Tracking A; Trap B; Identification B; Collection A, Overall Evaluation: Pass"

...

Lin Dong, the chief instructor of the trainee hunter team, held the list and read out the scores one by one.

Those who heard their overall evaluation was "unsatisfactory" were all dejected and could only wait until next year to try again. On the other hand, those who heard their overall evaluation was "satisfactory" were all overjoyed and danced with excitement.

"Ye Qianxue, Archery S; Close Combat S; Tracking S; Trap A; Identification S; Gathering S; Overall Rating... Excellent!" At this point, Lin Dong's voice suddenly paused, and his gaze fell on a girl in the crowd.

The girl had long, golden hair. The arduous hunting test in the wild had not made her fair skin turn sallow. Her hunter's leather armor could not hide her hot figure, especially her two long legs, which were longer than the lives of all the men present.

What's even more hard to ignore is their terrifying performance.

"Wow~ Five S's! She must be the strongest apprentice hunter this year, right?"

"Definitely. In previous years, let alone five S-class characters, it was difficult to even produce one!"

"I heard that an S rating is the highest grade, right? You have to get a perfect score without making any mistakes, and you also have to surpass all the hunters of the same period."

...

The hunters around her whispered among themselves, all casting envious glances at Ye Qianxue.

Most people are still struggling to pass, but Ye Qianxue is already aiming for several perfect scores. How can anyone not be envious?

However, the person involved did not care about this result. His indifferent face was like ice and snow that never melts, without a trace of emotion.

"Lu Xiu, Archery A; Close Combat A; Tracking A; Traps S; Identification A; Gathering A; Overall Evaluation: Excellent!" Lin Dong announced another result.

Then everyone's attention turned to a young man sitting on a tree trunk in the corner, enjoying the shade.

The young man had short, neat black hair, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. His lips were slightly upturned, with a hint of smugness in his smile. His body, which appeared slender under his blue leather armor, possessed the explosive power of a cheetah.

"Brother Lü, it's number six!"

"Brother Lu, you're awesome! Please carry me!"

...

Unlike the hushed whispers about Ye Qianxue, the surrounding hunters seemed quite familiar with the young man, loudly congratulating him. Only Ye Qianxue, who had remained expressionless, frowned slightly.

Lu Xiu, completely unfazed, leaped down from the tree, placed his hands on the ground, and said smugly, "Basic stuff, don't be silly, everyone sit down!"

"Alright, all the unqualified hunters can leave now." Lin Dong didn't give Lü Xiu much time to gloat and gathered everyone to move on to the next stage.

"All qualified hunters, come to me to claim your Awakening Crystals."

The crowd dispersed.

Originally there were over a hundred apprentice hunters, but in the end, there were less than twenty left.

After all the irrelevant people had left, Lin Dong began to set up the job-change formation.

While Lin Dong was setting up the magic array, the hunters, one by one, became theatrical, praying to the gods and Buddhas.

"Finally, I'm awakening! Eighteen years! Do you know how I've spent these eighteen years?!"

"I'd trade my buddy's sixty years of single life for my awakening as a knowledge hunter!"

"Get out of here! What does your wish have to do with me!"

"I absolutely must awaken as a Weapon Hunter! My mom has even prepared the rare-grade ore for me."

...

"I'm sure I'll become a gourmet hunter!" Wang Xiaoming, the chubby neighbor, excitedly gnawed on a chicken leg.

Leaning against the big tree, Lü Xiu was also thinking about what kind of hunter he would become later.

"I think I'll awaken and become a knowledge hunter," Lu Xiu guessed.

Because the world he was in was the world of a game he played before he transmigrated, called "Hunting World"!

In the game "Hunting World," Earth is a hundred times larger than reality. Humans occupy only 1% of the land, while the remaining 99% of the land and ocean are occupied by powerful mythical beasts.

These mythical beasts either possess powerful physical bodies or are able to manipulate the forces of nature. Powers that existed only in the myths of Lü Xiu's previous life, such as burning the sky and boiling the sea, carrying mountains and chasing the moon, have become reality in this world.

Compared to these terrifying mythical beasts, humans are nothing more than ants. Let alone occupying 1% of the land and forming a population of billions, simply escaping extinction or becoming food for some mythical beast is already an incredible stroke of luck.

The force that enables humans to survive in the perilous environment surrounded by mythical beasts is the profession of "Hunter".

There are currently five known types of hunters: Weapon Hunter, Gourmet Hunter, Knowledge Hunter, Mythical Beast Hunter, and Element Hunter.

Weapon hunters forge their own signature weapons from hard metal and the claws and teeth of mythical beasts. These weapons are intertwined with the hunter's life and grow alongside the hunter, making them the most lethal.

Gourmet hunters gather ingredients from all over the world, drawing energy from delicacies to forge the strongest physique. The strongest can even engage in close combat with mythical beasts, going head-to-head.

Knowledge hunters acquire knowledge from books, search for history in ruins, and combine the power of knowledge and time to create their own unique cognitive world, materializing the people, events, and things that once existed in knowledge. Their abilities are diverse and mysterious.

Beast Hunters, roaring through the mountains and forests, ride mythical beasts into battle, skilled in tactical encirclement and hunting, outnumbering their opponents.

Elemental hunters travel the world to see beautiful scenery, gather the heart of elements in nature, and wield the power of the elements to fight against the heavens and earth. Moving mountains and shifting stars is as easy as waving a hand.

The five types of hunters possess different powers, but they all have one thing in common: once humans acquire these powers, they are qualified to contend with powerful mythical beasts.

As for why Lü Xiu was so certain that he would awaken as a "Knowledge Hunter," it's because the official setting book in his previous life had already revealed the secret of awakening.

The hunter who awakens to become is related to the "Seven Deadly Sins".

The seven deadly sins are: pride, wrath, sloth, gluttony, lust, greed, and envy.

Knowledge Hunter represents "arrogance"; Weapon Hunter represents "rage"; Element Hunter represents "sloth"; Gourmet Hunter represents "gluttony"; and Beast Hunter represents "lust".

As for greed and envy, the official website of "Hunting World" mentioned before Lu Xiu's transmigration that the new version would introduce two new professions, which would presumably correspond to them.

So, not to mention himself, Lu Xiu already had a rough idea of ​​what kind of hunter most of the people present would eventually awaken into.

My neighbor, Wang Xiaoming, eats non-stop every day. He's only 1.6 meters tall but weighs 300 pounds—a veritable meatball. If he doesn't awaken as a Gourmet Hunter, probably very few people will.

Ye Qianxue is beautiful, has a hot figure, and excels academically. It's said her father is the richest man in Nantian Port, but he's extremely cold and arrogant. Lu Xiu estimates she will awaken as a Knowledge Hunter.

In the corner, Lin Niannian, who was taking a nap at the crucial moment before awakening as a hunter, was certain to become an elemental hunter. Beside her stood her twin brother, Lin Heng, who usually hung out with the town's thugs and was known for his brawls; he had a typical short temper. Lu Xiu guessed he would awaken as a weapon hunter.

As for the Phantom Beast Hunter...

"Brother Xiu, I have some newly arrived erotic pictures here, would you like a copy?" Sensing Lu Xiu's gaze, Cai Ping put on a lewd smile and stepped forward to sell the "masterpiece" in his arms.

Lu Xiu immediately gave him a disdainful look.

Most of those who awaken as Beast Hunters are these kinds of lecherous wolves.

"No need, I have no interest in these things," Lü Xiuyi said firmly.

He believes he will awaken as a knowledge hunter because of his identity as a "time traveler".

What am I doing here?

It's obvious he wants to be the main character!

This pride, what else could it be but the awakening of a knowledge hunter?

Hmm, there's a small chance he might be a food hunter. He traveled from China, so it's hard for him not to be a foodie.

Simply equating gluttony with gluttony, pride with arrogance, and lust with lust... while not entirely accurate, this is essentially the relationship between seed and fruit.

Nine out of ten.

"I'm about to awaken as a knowledge hunter. Thinking about it, I'm actually a little excited," Lu Xiu said, hands on his hips, dreaming about the future.

I remember that knowledge hunters can reconstruct and fabricate history by "understanding the world," and use their abilities to represent the historical figures, objects, and events they have seen, understood, and imagined.

We're fine.

Let's reconstruct the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Journey to the West in this world.

However... the other hunters also have their own strengths, and I really want to awaken them all. It would be great if I could awaken all five hunters at the same time!

While Lü Xiu was lost in thought, Instructor Lin Dong had already set up the formation.

"The formation is set up; everyone, begin your awakening!"
