Chapter 192: Next Hunt? (2)
In this life, Chloe had focused on her physical training even before, and in the past five years, she could only say she had done her best to increase her stats. She had only reached about the start of 7 in every stat, which she had improved.
This was quite better than her previous life when she had to start with five stats at the beginning, and now she had even stored her katana outside the school, as weapons were not allowed inside. This was also the weapon she had used in her previous life.
After reaching her stats to a satisfying degree, she would leave from here to find Aiden. She knew where he lived, and it was quite close to her, as their residence was quite famous.
"I just hope I would find some cultivation manual." Continue reading on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
She really hoped she would find some manual, as with it, she knew her journey to find him would be much safer. Even though she was not fully confident in finding him, she was sure she wouldn't die, but actually reaching that destination would be hard.
Firing another A-rank skill,
space blade
, at another zombie, which had killed three at the time, she cleared her mind for now as a resolute expression appeared on her doll-like cute face. She focused more on killing zombies.
As thinking about him wouldn't do her any good for now, she only wished in her mind one last time to keep him safe.
Aiden, after taking the cores that had been left after their use, could tell by the weight of the pouch that there were at least 100 cores inside it. He didn't feel much about them and put them inside his backpack.
He would have used them right here and now; however, he didn't want to reveal his ability to infinitely increase his stats to others. He knew this was a dangerous secret that he had to keep safe, which was why even while he trusted them completely, he was not going to share it with them.
Now, looking at the fierce expressions on their faces and the fire burning inside their eyes, he asked them in a calm voice,
"Are you guys ready for another hunt?"
In response to his words, all of them shouted at the same time with voices filled with passion.
"YES!!!!"
Aiden, hearing their loud response, which was probably the loudest he had ever heard from them, thought if they had shouted with such intensity during their first meeting, he would have jumped in surprise seeing how loud they were.
He didn't say anything as he also started to like how they were behaving. Their spirit also made his blood boil, which was why he didn't waste any time. Standing up from his seat, he said in a loud voice as he started walking toward the gate,
"LET'S GO HUNT SOME ZOMBIES!!"
Aiden didn't know why he shouted, as he wouldn't have acted like this in the past. However, being together with them, he also started to enjoy matching their energy. He felt a little embarrassed doing it, but when he heard their loud response again and the sound of their heavy footsteps following behind, along with the clanging of metal from their armor, he couldn't help but feel good inside.
"YES, LEADER!"
'Absolutely worth it!'
Alicia, walking right next to him, could see the happiness on his face when they replied to him. She had known that her little brother sometimes liked to show off, and seeing him enjoying such a little act, she only thought it was childish. However, she didn't mind it when he was enjoying it so much.
After reaching the outside and seeing the big gate in front, he was excited to hunt. But now, he thought of making some changes to their previous lineup, as he thought it wouldn't be best to go with the previous lineup.
He would leave the sniper as it was for now, which left about seven people for him to decide. One was going to be at the gate, just like always, responsible for the gate in case something unexpected happened, which he hoped wouldn't.
The snipers would inform them from the roof of their house to close the gate as soon as possible, which was a good safety measure he liked to have.
Now, out of the seven, he liked to take five this time to join the actual fighting. However, he was going to keep them in pairs of two so they could get used to their strength, and afterward, he wouldn't mind if they acted on their own.
He wasn't including Isla in a pair, as he was confident in her acting alone. He had seen how she had performed on the previous hunt, which impressed him quite a bit. She had nearly lasted as long as his big sister, even when her big stats were at a limit at the time.
While he was sure his big sister would have hunted much more than her, he still thought she was qualified enough to act on her own.
And for the last two, he would like to keep them still using their automatic rifles, as they were still very effective against the zombies.
Aiden informed Ava how he would like to proceed this time. Ava, hearing his words, didn't find anything wrong with them, but his words still made her feel that he was trying to keep them safe.
She didn't know how he saw them, but she was confident that even if he had thrown every one of them in with a knife now, they would survive without much difficulty, given the strength they had now.
She liked how he was trying to keep them safe, but she knew in the long run, this would limit growth. She wasn't going to say anything to him this time, but when needed, she would remind him they had seen worse, and every single one of them had taken a bullet or two in their life.
'For now, the lineup is good.'
Even though she had many scars on her body, she didn't feel a little bit ashamed of it. She was a little worried about how he would feel when he saw them at night. However, she believed he wouldn't feel disgusted by them. She had only a few scars, probably the least in her team.
She would feel quite sad if he felt disgusted by them.
But that wasn't going to change anything for her, as she was already deeply in love with him, and nothing was going to affect her now.
She would likely try to find some solutions if he didn't like them, as she was sure in this new magical world, there were many secrets waiting to be discovered, and these little scars were probably nothing compared to what the outside world awaited for them.
