Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

This sudden change of topic nearly choked Muti. Trying to swallow the sticky cake blocking her throat, she whispered, "Of course I do. If I give up after failing, I'll never be able to break through myself."

Aolan hummed, agreeing with this statement, "Actually, you could have just said it directly at the time, saying that the Sand Dragon was your mission target.

It was already quite weak at the time, and if the two of us chased it together, there was at least a 90% chance of successfully dealing with it."

Muti shook his head decisively, "That's inappropriate. You accepted the commission to escort the caravan, so it's your responsibility to protect your companions.

I can't ask you to give up your responsibilities and help me complete the task."

Aolan was slightly stunned when he heard this, thinking that this guy's thinking was quite rigid. "Wait a minute, with your swordsmanship, you shouldn't be able to take down that severely injured Earth Sand Dragon even by yourself.

You're not going to wait until its wounds heal before fighting it, are you?"

"Yeah," Muti replied softly.

"Are you stupid?!" Orlan's voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees.

Even Seabuckthorn, who was slumped in the chair, couldn't help but straighten his neck, wanting to see what kind of fool would do such a stupid thing as letting the monster recover from its injuries and then hunting, and then being defeated by the monster.

Muti held his head, looking pitiful and saying, "Stop scolding me!" "I originally wanted to hone myself, but if the opponent weakens too much, it won't serve the purpose of honing myself."

"."

For a moment, Aolan couldn't tell whether this guy was stupid or ambitious.

"Then, when you plan to challenge the Earth Sand Dragon again, take me with you. The two of us together should be able to easily suppress that guy.

When you want to hone yourself, I can also be there to support you and avoid any accidents."

Muti raised his head and looked at him in confusion, "Why are you helping me to this extent?"

Aolan bared his teeth and said, "I can't say I'm helping you. I also want to practice with the Sand Dragon, but I'm unfamiliar with Barubare. It's not easy to find another three-star hunter willing to take me with me.

Also, if you don't mind, how about teaching me the katana? In return, I can teach you the one-handed sword.

Well, if you are not interested, dual swords are also fine, and I can also use a greatsword and a hammer."

"I don't want to learn the greatsword from you," Muti muttered softly, "The way you use it is not a greatsword at all."

"What did you say?" Orlan didn't hear what she mumbled.

"nothing!"

P.S. A simple explanation for new readers: Muti's mother is the protagonist of MH4, so she is very familiar with the NPCs of the brigade.

Chapter 61 Protagonist's Abilities

I saw some readers mentioned that they felt the protagonist's abilities were not fundamentalist enough. Although it seems that not many readers care about this so far, I still want to explain it.

I have to emphasize that I will not write something like dual-wielding greatswords and demons dancing wildly. What I pursue is realism and rationality.

So far, all the so-called "borrowed moves" actually have traces of them in various generations of works.

The one-handed sword's dance comes from the "Sword Dance" hunting skill. The one-handed sword's charging is actually an enhanced version of Jr. The katana's charging has a similar performance in Rise, and so on.

I just don't want to be boxed in by the moves in the game, with only the same few moves over and over again, as if the angles of sword swings are fixed. (In fact, I was a bit troubled by this problem in the later stages of writing the previous book. The protagonists' moves were fixed, and it was difficult to write innovative battle scenes by describing them over and over again.)

Just like a martial artist in real life who can use both fists and kicks as well as swords and guns, it is normal for him to integrate some force techniques. It is not to say that boxing is boxing, and my master only taught me to punch this way, so I will punch like this for the rest of my life.

Chapter 62 Remarks on the launch

The timing of the release seems a little bit tricky, it just happened to be stuck in the daily transition chapter (covering face)

There doesn't seem to be anything else to say. I will try my best to write a good story so that everyone can enjoy it 0v0

I have saved up a little bit of stock, let me post it all today. Today is the fifth update, please subscribe~

Chapter 63 Lack of Confidence

After a brief thought, Muti accepted Oran's proposal.

The latter's fighting style seemed a bit messy to her, but he fought against the Dosha Dragon alone before she arrived. When she was injured, he picked up his sword and suppressed the Dosha Dragon alone.

In her eyes, the other person's situation was the opposite of hers.

She has the title of three-star hunter, but her combat capability can only be considered two-star, while the opponent has the level of a two-star hunter, but has the strength of a three-star hunter.

She wanted to hone herself and make a breakthrough by hunting three-star monsters, but that didn't mean she would risk her life.

This hunt failed. She was seriously injured but managed to escape. What about next time? And the next time?

It’s different if you have a companion with you. When you are not strong enough, you can go together.

Or you can take turns fighting monsters and support each other, which can ensure basic safety and give each of you a chance to hone your skills.

As for the other party's request to teach her katana sword techniques, she felt no pressure to agree.

Her martial arts were taught by her family elders, and there was no so-called restriction on the school of martial arts. As long as she was willing, she could teach anyone she wanted.

And there is one thing that the other party doesn't know.

The weapons she can skillfully use are not only the katana, but also the broadsword.

That's why she felt so uncomfortable when she saw Orlan using a katana as a broadsword. It was doubly uncomfortable.

Having reached a cooperation agreement, Orlan happily extended his hand and shook hands with Muti, "Then it's settled.

By the way, did you come to Balubare specifically to hunt the Sand Dragon, or do you plan to use Balubare as your base for a while?"

"I'll probably be staying for quite a while." Having decided to cooperate, Muti naturally wouldn't hide his whereabouts any longer. "I have to become a hunter worthy of a three-star rank at least."

This statement made Aolan a little concerned. "I'm very curious. I heard you say before that you were a 'parallel import' Samsung, and now you say you are not worthy.

Why do you feel you don't deserve your current level?"

Muti pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said: "Actually, there is nothing to hide, it's just a little embarrassing.

The fact that I was able to be promoted to three stars early on was not entirely due to my own efforts."

After hearing what Muti said, Seabuckthorn got up curiously and lay on the edge of the table. "You didn't rely entirely on your own strength, meow? Did you ask for help with the assessment task for your promotion to three stars, meow?"

Orlan reached out and flicked the tip of its ear, signaling the little guy not to ask too many questions.

Muti lowered his head and answered in a small voice that didn't match his tall stature, "It's my hunting partner. It's very powerful. I even think it can take out that big monster bird on its own without me.

Ever since I became a one-star hunter, it has been taking care of me, giving me the illusion that "I'm not bad at all."

It wasn't until I was promoted to three stars that I hid it from it and challenged the giant bird alone again, but ended up in a crushing defeat.

It was then that I realized that I was just a 'parallel import' who was being taken away.

So I temporarily parted ways with it and came here alone, hoping to make up for what I lack and become a truly excellent hunter."

The Olang Seabuckthorns looked at each other in bewilderment.

Seabuckthorn couldn't help but confirm, "Your hunting partner, you mean the hunting cat meow?"

"Um"

Olang began to understand a little bit where the other party's lack of confidence came from. It was probably like this: Am I not as good as my own cat?

Wake up! That's definitely not your fault. It's definitely that cat that's too strong! Even Seabuckthorn is shocked!

Seeing Muti, who had just become cheerful after having a big meal, become depressed again, Orlan pressed his forehead.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that instead of constantly challenging monsters to improve himself or prove himself, this guy should first regain his self-confidence.

He had noticed when they worked together to repel the Earth Sand Dragon that Muti had no problem with his fighting skills, at least from what he could see, and he also had combat experience. However, he was a little timid, which now seemed to be a sign of a lack of confidence.

How can I help her regain her self-confidence?

The most direct way is to hunt three-star monsters with your own strength.

Okay, it's a vicious cycle.

There is no point in using these words to remind Muti, this guy looks like an honest child, but not stupid at all, she should be clearly aware of her problem.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t always use the phrase “break through myself” instead of the more direct “I want to become stronger”.

But what’s the point of knowing? The more you worry about this kind of psychological problem and the more anxious you are to solve it, the more serious it becomes.

It seems that Muti's current choice is the best way. With her sword skills and talent, even if she perseveres for a year or two, can monsters of the level of the Sand Dragon and the Giant Bird still kill her?

As long as you have absolute strength, psychological problems such as lack of self-confidence will naturally be solved.

"Let's go." Aolan, who had figured this out, stood up and said, "Now that you've eaten and drunk enough, go to bed early and take good care of your wounds. Once you're fully healed, we'll go meet the Earth Sand Dragon again.

If one isn't enough, try five. If five isn't enough, try ten. There are so many three-star monsters, just hunt them one by one. This way, you can accumulate more mission records, which will make it easier to get promoted to four stars."

"Yeah." Muti looked at Orlan with some envy.

She was still thinking about how to prove that she was a qualified three-star hunter, while the other party was already considering accumulating tasks to be promoted to four stars. If she had the same drive, she wouldn't be constantly being hit on the head by her hunting partner.

The two people and the cat said goodbye to Chef Meow and prepared to return to their respective residences.

As a result, they walked together all the way to the door of the big dragon boat of the gathering place. They looked at each other silently and thought about it. They were not natives of Barubare, so where else could they live except the gathering place?

"Um, Olang, do me a favor." Muti suddenly said in a low voice.

"what?"

"Go in first and help me see if there is a lady wearing glasses and a green suit in the hall."

Aolan naturally guessed who she was referring to, "Are you talking about President Sophia?"

"Well," Muti said in a low voice, looking like a little girl who came home late and was worried about being scolded by her parents. "If she's not here, give me a signal."

"What if Ms. Sophia is here?" Orlan asked with amusement.

"Then, then"

"Well, it's just a failed mission. It's not that embarrassing. Can the president scold you for this? Everyone has had a cat accident."

"no."

Before Muti could explain, Orlan had already pulled open the curtain at the door of the meeting place.

He glanced around and saw the president, who had an intellectual and scholarly temperament, sitting behind the counter, holding a thick book and reading quietly.

The lively atmosphere in the tavern where the hunters were eating and drinking to their heart's content and shouting loudly did not affect her at all.

As if noticing the young hunter's gaze, Ms. Sophia raised her head and looked towards the gate, nodding her chin imperceptibly at him.

Then, her eyes fell on Muti, who was outside the meeting house and trying to escape by turning around.

A reflection flashed across the spotless lens.

"Muti?"

"Ah—" A cry of sorrow escaped from Muti's throat.

Can't run away.

"Mutti!" Ms. Sophia called her name again, her tone obviously much sharper than before.

She hurried out from behind the counter and almost ran to Muti, "Why are you covered in wounds?!"

"I'm fine, it's just a superficial wound," Muti muttered.

"Just a superficial injury? Your leg is in a fixator and a rib splint. I'm afraid several bones are broken." Ms. Sophia's tone was unexpectedly stern. "Stay at the counter. I'll find a doctor to examine you thoroughly."

Watching President Sophia walk away quickly, Orlan made a reasonable guess, "President Sophia is your mother?"

"No." Muti said sadly, "The president and my mother are good friends. They have traveled together before."

Aolan: “.”

Why does it feel like a similar conversation just happened once?

Chapter 64 Hunter is a hobby

Young people are always full of energy. If possible, Orlan even wanted to set out to deal with the sand dragon the day after arriving in Barubare.

Unfortunately, even with the help of doctors and potions, Muti would have to recuperate from his injuries for several days. Without this new friend to lead the team, he, a two-star, was not qualified to take on a three-star dangerous mission.

He is not the kind of person who indulges in eating, drinking and having fun, or who can stay in his room and lie down all day long. It is difficult for him to kill time.

Fortunately, I came to a brand new city and there are still many things to do.

Purchasing a series of daily necessities including cat beds was just a side job. They had not had time to do the most important thing - to find a place for Seabuckthorn to get in touch with and learn mechanical knowledge.
