Headstrong Level One Chaser (part 12)
But Qiao understood.
Since the team had made their mind to rob him and bully him such, he made his mind to hunt them.
Quite a Simple logic
Isn't it?
"Whatever you are deciding to do count me in," the chaser shouted in lively spirits.
He was excited just from the idea to hunt those B level team members. The thrill that came from the idea was too much. Of course, he did not understand quite how brutal it could be too.
It was also still unclear how they were going to hunt.
Linwin was now left far behind. Qiao had already told him to change his direction and run away as quick as he could in such situations. He was aware that Linwin could not provide any help so it was better that he ran away and did not get caught.
Linwin was also aware. He ran fast as he could, short of breath. Despite running madly, he was unable to match with brother Qiao so he thought to follow his advice.
.
The team which was running behind Qiao scattered to surround him. They were not going to let him go unscathed.
"Chi, you try your best to reach him and attack. I will be following from another direction," the leader advised and changed his path. He was fuming greatly at the courage of this youth. How dare he think he could run around and play with them.
Was he thinking that he could escape just like this, impossible? They would eventually reach him and then grab him by the neck.
The aim of this team was to get to the level A in the Guild ranking and earn more reputation among the guild and among the other teams.
In every Guild, the teams were divided according to their levels and performance.
Those teams who showed loyalty to the Guild were given more chances and missions. They were supported by the Guild in sensitive matters too such as this where they were hunting a newbie. This made them greedy to work harder for the Guild.
Chi was almost going to catch up to Qiao from behind, but Qiao was already waiting him to catch up. He then slowed down suddenly and then took a sharp turn taking support from the trunk of a tree. He has already calculated what actions were needed to tackle these bullies.
He was not going to give up on his weapon and if someone were to rob his weapon then he was not sure that if he would ever be able to save his brother from the wicked hunter if he cannot even face these bunch of bullies.
Struggle and war began the same moment when you have decided to not accept defeat.
And he was not ready to accept defeat no matter what.
The Hunter Chi was baffled with this sudden turn of direction and amazed by the level of agility this youth showed just now. Chi was level two and he could bet that he had not seen any level one showing this level of agility until now.
"Damn," he was so focused at the move that he could not think of a way to fend off the sudden attack.
Qiao rolled in the air and slashed from above, exerting a lot of force. A sharp wound landed, almost cutting open half of his chest. Either the weapon was cruel or the one who was wielding it was merciless. Chi screamed in agony and fell on the spot.
Qiao had made sure that the level of the chaser would fall back significantly. And this was only possible until the injury was more fatal than one could endure.
The chaser who was running by the side of Qiao barely stopped quite a distance away, when he saw clearly how the level two chaser fell on the ground. He wanted to clap for the arrogant youth as now he understood why this youth was so headstrong.
Qiao after making sure that the chaser was not going to stand up again any time soon, he started running again as two chasers were about to reach him in no time from his left side.
There was no use in fighting against these chasers and killing them, because it does not give any experience. Unless he could kill them and rob them off their spoil it was of no use other use.
But Qiao first of all had no spare time to rob and second, he would not do something like that. He only wanted to teach them in return for targeting him. Even though hunting newbies did not give teams any benefit, many still bullied them for the fear factor.
But for Qiao, this hunt was going to be as beneficial as a monster hunt. While facing a monster he can't really practice his skill as it moved in an unpredictable manner. But this was his chance to practice. He knew that all these chasers could do was run after him as fast they could. They did not really use their brain so he would use it to temper himself.
How can he waste it?
The two chasers who were about to reach him had to stop because their capable team member was thrown on the ground with a single attack. They have to see what was wrong with him.
They could let the others member continue to surround this youth.
So it continued.
The team leader and one other member were coming from different directions and they had to admit that they underestimated the youth. They could not keep up with his tactics and how he changed direction suddenly. He was constantly taking another direction to confuse them.
But Qiao was under a lot pressure. He was observing and calculating as he ran around. He needed a perfect balance, a flawless timing and impeccable attack. If the situation did not allow all the three conditions to meet up then he would keep running and confusing them.
The other team members were also still chasing him, just that they were little tired now. The youth was running madly and every small change of his direction was greatly taking up their efforts to follow him.
But they did not slow down because they don't want to be glared by their team leader.
While all the team members were now focused on Qiao, the chaser who was willing to take risk and running side by side finally showed up from the behind of a guy and attacked. It was a surprise attack that no one anticipated.
The enemy fell on the ground never to stand up again.
Since Qiao was keeping his eyes at all places, he saw the chaser attacking one of the enemies. He was also taken by surprise as he had thought that the chaser had left for good earlier, but why was he appearing again and again, what was going in his mind?
But it was not time to ask this question as the team leader and his man found his position and they were currently running toward him like hounds. They sure wanted to tear him apart seeing how angry they were. Probably they also happened to see their injured men.
But they don't have any rights to get angry, do they?
Who asked them to bother him? Who asked them to rob him? And who forced them to follow behind?
Of course it was not Qiao. Was he?
Did they want to blame him for all their misery right now? But it had nothing to do with him. Well maybe a little but it was their mistake. He shrugged it off with a laugh and continued to run.
The chaser also laughed at the present expressions of the youth, it was the first ever that he did not felt being killed with attitude of the youth.
