My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 80 Beast hunt Round two

It was finally the long-awaited second weekly beast hunt for the second year and Jake was excited because he would get to collect crystals, and probably test his equipment. After completing his daily quest and bathing, Jake was ready for the day and both Jake and his friends were off to get their breakfast.

After breakfast, they were told to come to the assembly hall for their beast hunt. They all got to the hall, this time there wasn't any long winding speech from the general since they already knew the basics of the hunt.

The portal was opened, and all the teams stepped through the portal after the Iron Fist Guild had already stepped through the portal. When Jake and his friends came out of the portal, they noticed that they were in the forest which they had hunted in the previous week.

But they didn't say anything because they thought the academy knew what they were doing. They weren't given any weapons because after the previous week's hunt, all the students had gotten their own weapons. Jake didn't take out his weapon from his inventory, rather he left it in it so he won't be questioned by the General about where he got his intermediate weapon from when others had a basic tier weapon.

The different teams all picked the directions they wanted to go to. Jake and his team picked a direction opposite the one they had gone to the previous week. After a few minutes of walking, they finally got deep enough for the beasts to come out and attack them.

Currently, they were surrounded by beasts known as the Razor horn. They were beasts that looked like deers but they had razor sharp horns. Their horns were incredibly sharp so any one battling had to make sure to avoid the horns.

But the problem Jake and his team encountered currently was that they were surrounded by five of the Razor horn beasts. Quickly getting into formation, Kate moved back a bit and pulled out her bow and arrow while everyone else pulled out their respective weapons.

Jake just equipped his sword from the system without his friends seeing him because they were focused on the beasts that surrounded them. The first to do something was Kate who pulled the strings of her bow and let one arrow loose on one of the beast's legs, piercing it.

This aggravated the remaining beasts and they decided to charge right at Jake and his group. The faster of the beasts was already in front of Jack and then it tried to pierce Jack with its horn but Jack quickly used his sword that was coated with Qi to block the attack successfully but he was pushed back a few feet.

Then Jake quickly used his Qi to fire out invisible strikes on the beast's body that made it let Jack go and moved back. Jack then smiled and rather than waiting for the beast to come at him, he dashed towards the beast himself.

Meanwhile, Jake was having a much easier time dealing with the beast. He had taken out his intermediate sword and was waiting for the beast to come at him then when the beast was one metre away, Jake activated Step shift and he was suddenly in front of the deer.

Then Jake used his sword to slice the deer's horns off cleanly and he gave the deer a kick that sent the beast back to create space. 'Haha, the combination of my Qi around the sword made it sharper than an intermediate weapon. I think it's now more like an advanced tier weapon.' Jake thought.

Seeing its horns cut so easily, it felt like the beast was feeling fear currently at the human that managed to cut its horn off so easily and then it tried to run away from Jake. "Oh, I'm not done with you yet." Jake smiled as he quickly used the Triple Threat technique and Step shift to get in front of the running deer. Then he wanted to slice the deer but his leg was suddenly in a little bit of pain.

Looking down, Jake could see another horn inside his leg from one more deer. In annoyance, Jake used his sword to cut the beast's head off, then he turned towards the other beast he was chasing and also finished it off quickly.

'It's a good thing I had activated my Qi around my body otherwise that horn would have done more damage than I thought.' Jake thought.

'I can't believe I have grown so strong that I'm able to kill basic tier beasts so easily without straining myself or getting terribly injured.' Jake thought with a smile on his face then he turned around to see if he could help any of his friends that were in trouble but he noticed that they had taken care of the beasts quickly.

'I guess I'm not the only one who got stronger. Even Vynn, who used to be the weakest among us, has also gotten stronger.' Jake smiled.

"Hey am sorry bro, the deer I was battling came to you and injured you." Peter said as he came forward.

"It's okay." Jake smiled.

The rest of the team came forward to meet Jake and Peter. "But how the hell did you get so strong enough to defeat two beasts at once without breaking a sweat?" Peter asked.

This caused Jake to scratch his hair nervously. "C'mon, we were taught about Qi. So that's what I used in my fight. I just coated my blade with the second stage of Qi." Jake replied.

"Alright, I have extracted the beast crystals from all the beasts that we killed." Cindy said coming over.

Cindy then gave Kate the crystals to keep in the storage space.

"Guys," Jake called out. "I have an idea."

"And what's it?" Kate asked.

"We are all Strong right? And we can handle a couple of intermediate beasts so why don't we split up so the hunt would be faster and we can gather twice the amount of crystals." Jake said.

"Are you crazy? Sorry to say." Kate quickly apologised. "You are suggesting we split up in a forest we know nothing about. What if we encountered any trouble or problem and we needed more hands on deck?"

"We can handle ourselves. C'mon please let's do this. Everything will be fine." Jake said.

"I agree with Jake." Sophia said.

"Me too." Peter replied.

"Are you all nuts? Why would you agree to such a crazy idea like that?" Kate asked.

"How about this," Jack said. "We put it to a vote. Those that are in favour of splitting up, please raise your hands."

Immediately, Jake, Peter, Jack, Sophia and Cindy raised their hands. Kate and Vynn were the only ones who were against the idea.

"Fine, since you want to split up so badly, then let's do it." Kate said.

They all cheered and they started deciding on who will go with who. Peter and Jake were on one team while the rest were on one team.

"How's this fair?" Jack asked.

"Because you are big and strong so you can take care of the ladies." Peter replied.

"Oh, you think I can't take care of myself?" Sophia asked about drawing her sword.

"Will you guys just cool it and stop fighting?" Kate said and they all stopped bickering. "Good, we will all go just as we have been split."

They all now evenly shared their resources and everything before they set off. "Remember, we will meet here in exactly one hour okay?" Kate said and they all nodded before they set off unaware that they had been followed before.

On the trees above where Jake and his team were earlier, there were four individuals there. "What do we do now sir?" Kim asked Kilberg.

"Now? They have made our work easier so we just have to follow Jake and take care of him for humiliating our Guild."

"He won't even know what hit him." Kilberg laughed.
