Chapter 44 Hunting Day
2306words
I arrived early after preparing myself in the original world and choosing to take time off work to gain experience and money from hunting. I'm not going to hunt, so I'll just collect medicinal plants to sell. I also brought lunch. I bought quite a lot of things, so it was a hassle. However, when I arrived at Undermoon, I was surprised because they didn't bring anything here. They only show weapons that will be used in hunting.
They looked at me in surprise when I brought a lot of things. Coincidentally, Lily was passing by with her friends and approached me.
"Moon! "What are you doing?" Lily asked, stopping, and her friends stopped, too. They watched me for a moment.
"I brought preparations for later," I answered.
"Oh, I see. "I thought you were moving house," said Lily.
"Hey! I'm not like that. All these things I need. You yourself, where are the things-your stuff? Don't you need any luggage? For example, food supplies!," I said.
"Yes, we brought it. Look at this little bag!" said Lily, showing her small bag. This bag has a magical stone that is useful for expanding the contents of the bag and making the bag light even though it is filled with heavy items," Lily explained.
"I see, what a useful item. Where can I get something like that?"
"You can buy them at the reception, but they are quite expensive. "But I have two. I can give you one if you want," Lily said with a smile.
Receiving things from someone will be very difficult, especially Alpha Gray, who doesn't like our closeness.
"Eh, I don't think it's necessary. Tell you what, I'm not bothered at all. "Thank you for telling me," I said, immediately leaving Lily.
Lily had a sad face. She had been trying to be friends with Moon again. But Moon avoided her. "Ah, what bad luck. Alpha Gray is too much for her!" Lily muttered in disappointment. Lily went with her friends outside Undermoon. They started hunting in the dense forest.
I walked towards the main gate, Undermoon, sitting under a shady tree. Pay attention to Academy students' undermoons from a distance. They appeared to be leaving the Academy Undermoon. Some fly using their abilities, and some walk. Everyone has their own way of travelling.
When I was busy paying attention to everyone, I didn't realize the presence of someone near me.
"Are you going out there alone?" asked a man beside me instantly.
When I heard someone talking to me, I turned my head. I was suddenly shocked. "Aaaa!!" I said spontaneously and immediately walked away. Theo! "Since when were you next to me?" I said breathlessly.
"Only just. You are too relaxed and could be in danger if you go outside Undermoon. Moreover, this is hunting day, and monsters can be found everywhere. "Except for Undermoon, though!" said Theo.
"I see, that means I will get hurt very easily. I will create a safeguard for myself. By the way, which way should I walk to join the hunting day?" I said.
"Just walk out of the Undermoon Academy gate first, then you will be taken outside the Academy Undermoon. "The gate has been given a magical teleportation stone that will take anyone to the hunting ground," explained Vampire Theo.
I nodded, "I understand!"
"Good. Remember to stay alert when you teleport. We never know where we're going, whether there are monsters there or not!!" said Vampire Theo, warning me.
I nodded once again.
"What are you going to do there?" asked Vampire Theo curiously.
"I'm just going to look for medicinal plants," I answered briefly.
"Yeah, that's good for you. I thought there were no Academy students Undermoon who were looking for it. "So you can hunt easily and get a lot of money," said Vampire Theo supportively. "Okay, there are many things I want to talk to you about, but right now, my friends are waiting. See you!" He said again and immediately went towards his friends who were waiting.
I immediately walked towards the main gate of the Academy Undermoon carrying my things. Alpha Gray quickly came to my side, walking and holding his sword.
"Morning, Moon?!" Alpha Gray greeted me warmly.
"What are you doing? Get away from me! You'll get hurt later," I said in an annoyed tone.
"Um, don't worry. I am a strong man. "So that's not...," said Alpha Gray, stopping when I moved away from him.
Alpha Gray quickly approached me, "That's not...," he said again, stopping when I moved away from him.
Right at the main gate of the Academy Undermoon, I stopped Alpha Grey's approaching steps. "Stay there, Alpha Grey! "It's very dangerous to be friends with a girl like me," I said, immediately stepping back into the portal and starting to teleport.
Alpha Gray lost track of her. He was starting to get annoyed because this girl was difficult to approach. Alpha Gray was approached by his friends.
"You can't give up!" said one colleague.
"Come on?!"
"Calm down, buddy! You can protect her."
"Let's find her there?!."
Alpha Gray was the last to enter the Academy's main gate portal Undermoon from the team.
Entered the portal of Undermoon Academy's main gate and was thrown into the middle of nowhere. I arrived in an area full of green grass. Right behind me was the forest. I saw green leaves that reflected the light. Immediately, I walked over. I smiled when I saw the leaf. It is a medicinal plant. Leaves that can reflect light are very useful for everyone. Seeing lots of medicinal plants, I set up a tent here.
After setting up the tent, I immediately looked for firewood to prepare for the night. Stack wood around the tent. After finishing, I immediately noticed the medicinal plants reflecting the light.
"This! This is an easy plant to find. But he said it was difficult to remove. Good grief! "Even though there are many, there are also many obstacles," I complained. I started trying to pull out one plant, but the roots of this medicinal plant were very difficult to pull out of the ground. I kept trying until I fell over and over again, and my hands felt pain. My hands became red and in pain. I found another way while looking at the many medicinal plants here. I rested for a moment and drank water to quench my thirst.
"Good grief! It's really as loud as it says. But it doesn't matter. I will keep trying to earn a lot of money. Others will only pluck the leaves, but I will pluck the roots. That way the price is more expensive. That's what the books I've been studying say," I muttered.
Gradually, the sun's heat became more intense. The weather was quite hot here, especially as there were no trees. I also chose to take shelter under a tree. I watched my tent blow in the wind for a moment, the leaves and grass swaying in the direction of the blowing wind.
"Hah, how tiring. It's not easy," I said.
The sunny weather suddenly turned dark, and the sun was immediately covered by clouds. I thought it would rain heavily soon, but once the clouds gathered, the rain did not fall.
"Uh, what happened?" I said in panic.
A man appeared out of nowhere, walking on the wind-blown green grass. He has pointed ears and a good body and is also in the handsome man category. The man walked closer to me. As soon as he was close, I realized every step he made, plants died of fear.
"Why don't you run?" asked the man, looking at me with a cold gaze.
Those words actually confused me, "Eh! Why? I was busy thinking about how to attract this medicinal plant. Why should I run now?" I said.
The man suddenly laughed, "Hahaha... you're so funny! Don't you love your life?"
"I love my life, but if I don't get medicinal plants then my life is also in danger!" I answered.
"Did someone else tell you to come here?"
"Nothing, this is of my own accord. Why do you stay there? (Approaches the man and pulls his hand) You have to be here so the medicinal plants don't die!" I said, annoyed.
"You really aren't afraid of me, huh! "What's your name?" asked the man smiling.
"My name is Moon. I don't understand why you keep saying similar things. Your aura scares everyone. "Can you reduce your aura?" I asked.
The man quickly reduced his aura to look like an ordinary person.
"Well, great! So what's your name? "You haven't said that yet!" I said, looking at this handsome man's face.
'Seikyu Yuuki is my name. "Nice to meet you, Moon," he said. Seikyu Yuuki shook my hand.
"Yes, nice to meet you. "Are you also a participant in the hunt?" I asked, pulling my hand away from him and seeing the view of the vast grassland and the medicinal plants hidden behind it.
"Yes, I am also a hunter participant. "Are you too?" answered the man who was also looking forward the same as me.
I nodded my head, "Yes, but I'm alone. I don't have a group. I also don't have any abilities. I only intend to harvest medicinal plants. I want to sell medicinal plants and earn money."
"That's good. But why don't you have magical abilities? Aren't they the ones at the Academy Undermoon? "You must have magical abilities," asked the man, who then chose to sit under a shady tree.
I started following him, sitting next to him. At the same time, bright clouds and sunlight began to appear again.
"I don't know, I just found a way to get home. But I don't really know my abilities. The crystal ball doesn't say anything."
"So. How interesting! Do you know about the demon king outside the Academy Undermoon?" said the man, which surprised me.
"No! I don't know at all. Is that real?"
"Yes, of course. Everyone must be careful against the monsters and the demon king's army. If any of them found the demon king, it would be a fight and a risk for their lives. A girl like you here alone is very dangerous. What if you meet a demon king? "The demon king is very cruel and can kill you quickly," said the man looking at me.
I just smiled, "Why are you afraid of him? I've already lost everything so if I lose myself it doesn't matter. Isn't that fun?"
"Wow, it's so dark! By the way, have you found any medicinal plants here?"
I shook my head and showed my injured hand, "I didn't get anything, I got this instead!"
Seikyu Yuuki held my hand, "I will cure it for you!."
I smiled, "Thank you!"
Seikyu Yuuki started healing my hand, and the wounds on my hand immediately healed with his magical ability.
"Your hand has healed. I hope you don't have to be sad anymore. "Do you want me to help you get medicinal plants?" he said, looking at me.
I immediately withdrew my hand and looked at my hand for a moment. "Yes, completely healed. That's fine, just…..I don't want to burden you."
"It doesn't matter, I still have a lot of free time for you."
Seikyu Yuuki and I started looking for medicinal plants. This man is not only handsome but strong and kind. He is a man who does not judge me in terms of strength. Seikyu Yuuki pulled out some excellent medicinal plant roots and did it easily.
I put the medicinal plants I got in a paper bag. Seikyu Yuuki saw that and immediately gave her a small magical pouch.
"Get in here. If there, this plant will die before you reach the Academy Undermoon," said Seikyu Yuuki, handing me His small magical pouch.
I immediately moved the medicinal plants from the paper bag to a small magical suitcase. Then we continued the search. Under the sun, it is bright and makes a lot of sweat pour out of the body. Somehow, the hot weather turned cloudy, and the wind blew cool as Seikyu Yuuki smiled at me.
I smiled and thought someone had done something here. The man approached me with medicinal herbs, "The weather won't be hot! So just relax. Let's save this for now?!"
I immediately took the magic bag and put the medicinal plants into the magic bag.
"There's quite a lot for this plant, can we go look for other medicinal plants?" I said, making a suggestion.
"Yeah, of course, but what about your stuff? "Looks like I'm planning to stay here?!" answered Seikyu Yuuki.
"Yes, right. "At first, I thought it would be better to set up the tent first," I said, embarrassed because I had made a mistake.
"No problem. Just put it into this magical pouch. That way, everything will be easier," Seikyu Yuuki said, giving advice.
I put my belongings into a small magical bag and started a journey with Seikyu Yuuki to look for other medicinal plants. We walked into a forest with quite dense trees along a path that seemed to be used by other people.
While Moon did not know, the demon king's army had spied on their journey. During a trip that was supposed to face powerful monsters, the monsters immediately moved out of the way after feeling a terrifying dark aura. The road was deserted.
