Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

During Gordon's recuperation period, the instructor kept thinking about one thing.

It's time for the little guy to change his weapon.

The one-handed sword is not suitable for Gordon. The instructor has known this for a long time. Why did he insist on letting Gordon use the one-handed sword as a training weapon?

It's just because before the novice hunter has not completed the training and grows up, the piece of hand sword is the most convenient weapon to save his life! —That light little buckler is really handy.

In fact, there are more than ten kinds of hunter weapons with mature systems.

Leaving aside light and heavy ballistas and hunting bows, on the one hand, it was because he could not use them at all and could not teach them. On the other hand, Gordon had already stated that he was not interested in long-range weapons, and close combat was the romance of men.

And melee weapons.

One-handed swords, double swords, and Taidao are more agile, requiring hunters to attack monsters quickly and accurately.

Long guns and guns are steady and steady, and they tend to be defensive, often requiring the cooperation of teammates.

The big sword and giant hammer are powerful and heavy, and the winner is determined by one blow.

Forget about the hunting flute, that kid is tone deaf and has no musical talent at all.

As for the Insect Manipulation Stick and Slashing Axe, which were only developed in the past two years, and the shield axe, which is still in the process of experimentation and whose technology is not yet fully mature, they are obviously even more unsuitable for novices.

What is Gordon's greatest strength? Without a doubt, it is power.

The instructor never doubted this.

Whose children use millstones to exercise when they are teenagers? Anyway, he had only seen Gordon before, and the natural supernatural power placed on him was not a rhetorical device, but a fact.

Picking up the huge fangs of 100 kilograms and smashing the big wild boar king to death, is this something that ordinary teenagers can do?

Coupled with Gordon's burly physique of more than 180 centimeters and still developing, theoretically the most suitable weapon for him should be one of the four major swords, giant hammers, long spears, and blunderbuss guns.

Because they are all heavy weapons that require "strength" to exert their power.

Which one to choose in the end depends on Gordon's own thoughts.

When the instructor found Gordon, the latter was doing recovery training.

The instructor has always been very satisfied with Gordon's efforts. A lazy guy with talent has no future. Only hard work can bring a person to the top.

"Gordon, first of all congratulations again, you have successfully passed the assessment task, and you are already a real hunter."

Hearing this, Gordon was ready to speak excitedly, but was stopped by the instructor with a wave of his hand.

"You should have noticed it yourself, the one-handed sword is not suitable for you, it can't perfectly display your physical and strength advantages."

Hearing this, Gordon nodded in a daze.

He cherishes his hunter's knife very much. Even the fragments that shattered during the battle against the Big Wild Boar King, he carefully collected them as souvenirs.

But during the battle, he did feel the awkward feeling of not being able to use his strength.

"Based on my experience, the four heavy weapons, spears, blunderbusses, swords, and giant hammers, are the most suitable for you, and can give full play to your strength advantages.

Of course, this is just my personal judgment.

The choice of a suitable weapon will directly affect your entire hunter career, and the final decision can only be made by yourself. "

The instructor's face was very serious, which made Gordon serious.

"Instructor Ernest, I have also considered this issue, but I have never touched any weapon other than a sword, so I have no way of judging it?"

Hearing this, the instructor hugged his chest and nodded, "Come with me, let's go to the training ground."

The so-called training ground is just an open space with a few thick wooden stakes, located in the back mountain not far from the village.

As the only apprentice hunter in Kokot Village, oh, a former apprentice hunter, having such a field for training is already a luxury enough.

Various weapons are placed on the weapon rack in the training ground.

These are all training tools made of rough iron, not even sharpened, and there is really no advantage other than the durability of the leather.

On the way here, after listening to the instructor's detailed introduction and analysis, Gordon focused on the four weapons.

Taidao, double swords, big sword, giant hammer.

He ruled out long spears and blunderbusses that should have been more suitable, and the turtle-like fighting style was not in line with his style.

He prefers to be proactive.

Gordon picked up the pair of knives first, waved them around a few times, almost cut his own head, and put them down embarrassingly.

This is not just a matter of proficiency, the use of double knives requires very high coordination and flexibility. As the core of its moves, "flurry" can cut dozens or even dozens of knives in a short time.

For Gordon, who put his hands behind his back and couldn't even touch his vest, it was an almost impossible task.

exclude!

He picked up the sword again.

This kind of tall and slender weapon is not heavy, but it has a special sense of power when it is swung. It is fast and sharp but still agile. He is very interested.

At least, it feels much more comfortable in the hand than a single-handed sword, so it's an option for now.

The third sample is the giant hammer.

To be honest, he doesn't like the shape of the giant hammer very much, he always finds it a bit silly, but he has a special liking for this weapon.

The source of this goodwill is very simple - the weapon that Instructor Ernest is good at using is the giant hammer.

Swing, smash, and then grab the handle of the hammer with your feet as the axis, spin it around a few times like a whirlwind, and finally put it back on the weapon rack.

How should I put it, it has a sense of power, but it is not very smooth to use, and the feel is worse than that of the Taidao. If there is a choice between the two, he will choose the former.

The last thing I tried was the big sword.

The first time he picked up the big sword, he subconsciously lifted it up with both hands.

This heavy and solid feel reminded him of that huge fang.

This kind of weapon is slightly shorter than the Taidao, but it is many times thicker and heavier. For others, this extra weight may become a burden.

But for him, this weight makes him feel at ease.

Self-taught, he took half a step forward with his left foot, placed the big sword on his right shoulder, pressed his body's center of gravity back, and made a "carrying" movement.

When he maintained this posture, an indescribable force condensed and accumulated in his body until he couldn't vomit.

"Drink!"

Stepping out with his right foot, the heavy sword carried on his shoulders was driven by that force and slashed down with an aura of cutting everything, smashing the wooden weapon rack in front of him to pieces.

"Uh, I'm sorry, instructor, I'll be responsible for repairing it!" Gordon didn't know why he split the weapon rack, but he didn't seem angry at all from the instructor's expression.

On the contrary, there is a hint of excitement in relief?

"It's okay." The instructor smiled and waved his hands, "Do you want to try Taidao again?"

"No, it's just a big sword!" Gordon grinned, he liked the heavy feel and the momentum of cutting everything.

I always feel that after holding the big sword, it would be very awkward for him to hold other weapons.

"Then what, instructor, can you lend me this great sword temporarily?"

Gordon begged cheekily: "As you know, my hunter's knife is damaged, and I don't have any other weapons for the time being."

"No!" The instructor immediately put on a straight face.

"As a hunter, there are several principles that cannot be broken.

One of them is that the hunter's weapons and armor must be made from the materials obtained by the hunter himself, and the behavior of giving and lending weapons and materials is strictly prohibited! "
