Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Gale exhaled heavily.

"Haha. Stop arguing here and come to my office so we can talk about what's going on."

Chapter 143: Music

"So, Miss Lambert."

Gale, who was leaning against his desk, looked uncertain. "You mean, the reason you wanted to join the training camp and become a hunter was to pursue your 'dream music'?"

"No! It's not just about the melody! It's more about the emotions! The emotions that erupt at the moment of life and death! That's the final chapter that only death can bring!

"Whether it's the monster's death or my own, just thinking about that scene makes my blood boil!" The girl's tone was so serious that it was creepy.

Several people in the office gradually realized that this child might not be acting on a whim, but that she might really sneak off to the wild alone, find a monster, and risk her life to kill it.

Muti carefully hid behind Gail, fearing that the psychotic girl would pounce on him again.

On the contrary, the girl's parents, who are also musicians, can understand their daughter's thoughts a little bit.

It is not uncommon for artists to give up everything in pursuit of art, but they are just musicians who make a living from this profession and cannot be called "artists".

Moreover, pursuing artistic dreams at the cost of one's life is too much for them as parents.

Gale stared at the stubborn girl in front of him, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

This kid is actually very similar to those battle maniacs who pursue the thrill of life and death. Even though their goals are different, what they do in the process of pursuing their goals is exactly the same.

These kinds of lunatics grow up quickly, but few of them have a good ending.

Although for them, dying quietly in bed may not necessarily be a good end.

For such a person, no amount of persuasion will be of any use. The only thing that can hold her back is human feelings.

The three of them seem to have a good relationship. Perhaps she will give up what she is pursuing in order not to worry her parents, but no one knows how long this lock can lock her up.

"You should have a good talk with your parents." Gail could only say this when he couldn't think of a better solution.

"By the way, how about working in the arena in the future?" Fu Fu, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke up, making a cutting gesture, "Or maybe a slaughterhouse?

The death finale you requested is played over and over again every day."

"."

The office was silent for several seconds.

The girl's parents looked at their daughter expectantly. Although it was a bit tricky to go from being a musician in a symphony orchestra to being a butcher in a slaughterhouse, it was still better than the life and death of hunters, wasn't it?

The girl named Lanbell was stunned for a moment before she screamed, "It's not a meaningless death!

It's a collision of lives, a gamble of everything! It's the roar of a dying counterattack, burning everything! It's the despair of fighting death, but ultimately being powerless and defeated!

The spirit of resistance, you know?! The spirit of resistance!

"Try loosening it when you're killing a pig with a knife, and you'll find almost all of these," Fu Fu muttered softly.

Lanbel's face turned red with anger, and he looked like he was about to rush up and tickle her.

"Just shut up now." Gale pinched Fufu's mouth helplessly. "Who did you learn this from? Your dad doesn't talk much, does he?"

Fu Fu looked at her aggrievedly.

Over there, Lanbel's parents brought their daughter to the corner, and the three of them were talking intensely, with quarrels breaking out from time to time.

Gale's gaze fell on Mutifufu and the other person.

"So, what are you two doing here?" After rubbing Fu Fu's face, Gale stared at the two of them and asked.

Fufu showed a flattering smile on her face, "Come and see you, mom."

"Don't give me that. I just met him last night. Tell the truth."

".Muti wants to strengthen his body and wants to find an instructor to help him develop a training plan. It would be best if he could borrow the training camp venue."

"Don't even think about the venue." Just as Fu Fu had guessed before, Ms. Gale, the chief instructor, refused without leaving any room for negotiation.

"As for Muti's training plan, why don't you ask Senior Amos? Who among the swordsman instructors in the training camp can compare to him?"

Muti could only briefly explain the situation. "Grandpa Amos said that I should just let things take their own course, but if I could achieve the required level faster through training, I'd be happy."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything." Gale frowned and made a "pause" gesture, "Senior Amos is right, just focus on practicing your rifle.

I know the great sword techniques he described, but there are only a few people in this world who are qualified to practice them.

Before you get promoted, don't worry about whether you can get what you want. If you really can't settle down, just take out your previous training plan for learning the greatsword, increase the intensity and practice more often, and don't let your greatsword skills get old.

"Okay." Muti mumbled and agreed.

While they were conversing, the dispute between the family of three over there also came to an end.

Lanbel's mother held onto her daughter, not daring to let go. Her father came over, his face filled with unconcealed worry. "We can't convince her."

"I can see you and your wife aren't tough people." Gale shrugged and said, "It's obvious this kid doesn't get beaten up often."

"Ma'am, we'd like to ask, I heard that the hunter training camp has very strict admission requirements, and only those with outstanding physical qualities have a chance to enter, is that correct?"

"Of course, hunter is not an ordinary profession. According to the enrollment situation in previous years, the pass rate is about 30%.

In the next few years of training, at least half of these people will be eliminated." Gale nodded in response.

"What if it's an 'excellent' rate?" the man asked tentatively.

"Five to ten percent."

The man heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "So that's what I mean. We want to give her a chance to try. If she can pass the test with an 'excellent' score, we'll let her enter the training camp to try it out."

If that doesn't work out, whether it's being a musician or playing the horn in the arena, she'll have to find another way to pursue that 'dream'."

Gale glanced at the stubborn girl over there, and Lanbel stared back at him without fear.

This kid is really, quite persistent.

Just be persistent.

Many things will not change according to one's will, just like her daughter Fu Fu, who has been clamoring to grow taller than Muti since she was a child. Now Muti is over 190 cm tall, and she is still over 160 cm tall.

She chuckled, "Since the little girl is so confident, we will test her to a high standard."

"This doesn't make sense." Gale looked at Lanbel's test results and couldn't stop muttering.

The guild has a complete set of methods to confirm all aspects of a person's physical fitness, even including future potential, which can be glimpsed.

This test is more flexible. For example, a homeless child may be malnourished and his physical fitness may not be very good, but he has a very strong will and potential in other aspects. The instructors of the training camp may allow him to pass at their discretion.

Maybe after one or two years of training in the training camp, you will make great progress?

However, it is impossible for such students to receive an “excellent” evaluation during the initial testing process.

What does "excellent" mean? Even without considering the untapped potential, the current performance in all aspects is excellent.

This type of students mostly appear as descendants of hunters, or in families of blacksmiths, farmers and other workers who have to do a lot of labor since childhood.

The former relies on earlier training, while the latter is because labor makes people strong.

The reason she didn't think the girl named Lanbell could pass with "excellent" grades was because her parents were both professional musicians.

Haha, how good can the physical fitness of a child who has been learning music since elementary school be?

But she found out she was wrong

In terms of the most crucial aspects such as strength, explosive power, endurance, reaction speed, etc., she performed quite well.

Although it cannot be compared with Muti's amazing results that shocked many instructors back then, it has barely reached the baseline of "excellent".

What does this mean? It means that her physical fitness is better than 90% of her peers.

No, why?!

Fufu, who had been watching the entire test, nudged Gale and whispered to her mother, who had never been exposed to music, "Learning an instrument is very tiring, especially a large one. She also practiced the tuba, so her cardiopulmonary function is quite impressive."

She also said that she often fantasizes about smashing musical instruments around, so she often plays with heavy objects."

Gale facepalmed.

Although I feel a little sorry for the little girl's parents, I don't know what kind of trouble the child will get into in the future.

But she would not lie, nor would she reject an excellent seedling for some unreasonable reasons.

He covered his eyes with one hand, pretending not to see, but still signed his name on Lanbel's admission document with the other hand.

Chapter 144: Brain Development

While waiting for the results after the test, Muti was dragged away by the "psychotic girl" named Lanbel and asked many questions related to hunters.

Muti was shy and too embarrassed to just brush them off, so he had to answer them one by one with a bitter face.

From the questions she asked, it was clear that Lanbel had almost no knowledge of the hunter profession.

At first, she was quite attracted by the rifle that Muti had used in the arena. In her opinion, the rifle, which could produce a variety of "violent sounds", had the potential to become a musical instrument.

But when she learned that among the weapons commonly used by hunters there was a thing called a "hunting horn", which could be blown, played, and swung to hit the monster's head, Lanbel decisively adjusted the direction of her future efforts.

If she had known that such a thing existed in the world, why would she still practice the cello?!

When the test results came out and her parents learned that Lanbel had qualified for the hunter training camp, they looked devastated.

But she herself did not show much excitement, as if she had known this would be the result.

Fufu couldn't help asking, and got the answer "If even this

This kind of inexplicable self-confidence or arrogance made Fu Fu couldn't help but "tsk".

She had also taken a similar test that year. I don't know what the final evaluation was, but judging from her mother's disdainful look at the time, she probably didn't achieve excellent results.

Gale had a lot of things to do next, and he had no time to deal with the two "idle people" like Mutifufu, so he sent them back.

Fu Fu didn't know what to do, and Muti was even more confused when he returned home alone.

What had he done all day? Not to mention the training grounds, his intended training plan was brushed aside by Gale's simple "Practice like you did when you learned the broadsword."

Then, you watched a certain neurotic girl take a physical fitness test? Then, she pulled you aside and asked you a bunch of weird questions like, "Can the pitch of a gunshot be changed?"

Her mind was a little confused, and it was only after Yuwan reminded her that she remembered that she had a fighting competition to participate in in a few days.

Due to her excellent performance in the first battle, the opponent assigned to her in this conference is no longer a two-star monster like the Blue Speed ​​Dragon King, but a big monster bird.

The big monster bird that beat her so hard that she ran away with her head in her hands a few months ago.

Although considering the safety of the audience, the conference officials will destroy part of the giant bird's wing membrane in advance, preventing it from flying into the sky and reducing the difficulty of hunting, it is still a top-ranked three-star monster after all.

Even if you are still confident, you still have to prepare well. After all, what you will be able to use is not the armor and weapons you are familiar with, but the second-tier equipment provided by the guild.

Muti had no choice but to put aside the matter of picking up the greatsword for the time being and focus on the upcoming battle.

Equipment, props and other external factors are all strictly limited by the rules of the tournament, and the so-called preparation can only be at the technical and tactical level.

As a former eight-star hunter, Amos could certainly provide many key suggestions, but he did not do so. Instead, he let Muti think for himself and at most discussed it with Orlan, who was also a three-star hunter.

After lunch, the two people and the two cats sat around the dining table, while Amos lay alone on a lounge chair basking in the sun, looking unwilling to speak.

"Tell me, what are your plans?" Orlan also did not dare to express his opinion.

Muti has two experiences of fighting against the giant bird. Although according to her, the first time, which was when she was promoted to three stars, she was led by Yuwan to victory, and the second time she hunted alone ended in a miserable defeat, it was still a practical experience after all.

In comparison, he had never even seen the giant monster bird with his own eyes.

"What other plans are there, meow? Just jump onto the neck of the big monster bird and cut its throat, meow." Yuwan licked his paws indifferently.

"Mounted attack? There are suitable steps at the edge of the arena." Muti thought seriously.

"Wait a minute." Orlan's head began to hurt.

Although he couldn't say he knew much about Yuwan, let alone was familiar with him, he could tell from what he had just said that this guy might be very capable in actual combat, but he should be excluded from discussions on tactics.

Yuwan stared at him, seemingly dissatisfied with him for interrupting his communication with Muti.

Orlan looked back without showing any weakness.

Although Yuwan is very strong, he will not be afraid of an Elu. What's more important is that this cat's "tactics" are too unreliable. With Muti's soft-hearted character, he can easily be led astray by it.

"Given the size of the giant bird, do you think Muti could possibly climb onto its neck?"

"I can meow!"

"Can you participate in the fighting tournament?"
