Reincarnated With The Undefeated System

Chapter 56 Hunting.(3)

Oliver picked up the grass cutter, drew out the mini-arrow from its body as more blood gushed out. Then Ava forwarded the sack he gave to her, and he dropped the grass cutter into it.

"Two grass cutters have been caught now, lots of meats. But we aren't done yet, we still have to hunt more", Oliver voiced out, then he glanced at Aiden and said, "It's your turn now, Aiden. You have to hunt down a grass cutter, you've been seeing how I've been doing mine".

Aiden nodded his head while uttering, "Yeah, I saw how you hunted down those grass cutters, I'm gonna hunt mine".

..What he has to do now was sight a grass cutter, then they'll see if he'll be able to hunt it down easily or not.

They began moving forward with their eyes scanning around. Now, it doesn't have to be that since it was Aiden's turn to hunt down a grass cutter, then he has to be the one to sight one. Anyone can sight one and inform him...and he'll see if he can hunt it down.

..He was even the one that sighted the first grass cutter Oliver caught.

They kept strolling forward while glancing around. Then at that moment, Ava sighted one. As carefully as possible, she informed Aiden and Oliver about it, and the both of them were glancing at the grass cutter currently.

Aiden drew out an arrow from his quiver slowly, he tried not to make any sound to not scare the grass cutter away. Then he placed the arrow in his bow, just as Oliver had always been doing, he aimed, then fired...

..But he missed, the arrow flew past the grass cutter, and the grass cutter took to its heels immediately.

He wasn't good enough, he wasn't as good as Oliver...Oliver has been doing this for some time now.

"Damn! What a miss". Aiden uttered placing his palm on his head.

"At least, you tried for someone that is doing this for the first time, the arrow flew past the grass cutter, and if you notice, it was close to it". Oliver stated.

"Yeah, that was still a nice one though, you'll try again". Ava voiced out as well.

Aiden drew out another arrow from his quiver and placed it in his bow. And Oliver said to him,

"We haven't even sighted another grass cutter, so what are you doing?".

"I'm preparing myself already, so once we sight another grass cutter, I wouldn't have to start drawing out arrow from the quiver and placing it in the bow...everything would be set already". Aiden responded.

"Hmmm, that makes sense". Oliver stated.

They began walking further into the forest, by now, they had gone deep into it. It was mid-afternoon already heading straight to complete evening. After school, instead of them to go home, they went hunting. All the students in the same academy as them had gotten home.

? ..But they were here hunting.

They kept strolling and glancing around, then Aiden sighted another grass cutter. He was the one in front, so he quickly signaled the rest to stop which they did. Then Aiden pointed to where the grass cutter was as the three of them were glancing at it currently.

There was no need to draw out an arrow from his quiver 'cause he had already placed an arrow in his bow, all that remained was to aim and fire. He didn't want to miss this, he wanted to hunt down that grass cutter.

So what was he gonna do? He was gonna try to be careful, he was gonna try to aim really well before firing. He positioned the bow well as the sharp edge of the arrow was pointing toward the grass cutter. He aimed well...then fired.

The arrow flew straight to where the grass cutter was, and before the grass cutter could run, the arrow penetrated its body. As usual, it still ran, but it didn't run far before stopping. And at that moment, Aiden shouted in excitement,

"Yes! I did it, I hunted down a grass cutter".

..His voice was so audible.

Oliver placed his palm on Aiden's shoulder and said,

"You did it, Aiden, you hunted down a grass cutter. You are a fast learner, it isn't a surprising thing to me considering how smart you are. Today is your first day of hunting, and you can say your arrow penetrated a grass cutter and killed it".

Ava's voice resounded next, "Wow! That's nice, smooth firing. Your arrow headed straight to the grass cutter and penetrated its body...would I be able to aim and fire like this?".

"Sure, I guess you'll be able to do it if you put in effort, if you concentrate. See, I did it". Aiden voiced out with an elated voice and facial expression.

"You'll be able to do it, Ava". Oliver uttered.

The three of them ran over to where the grass cutter was lying, and as Oliver was about to pick it up, Aiden stopped him saying,

"No, let me be the one to pick it up this time".

And that's what he did, he picked up the grass cutter, drew out the arrow from its body, and threw it to the ground. Then Ava forwarded the sack as Aiden dropped the grass cutter into it...they have caught a total of three grass cutters now.

"Three grass cutters now". Oliver voiced out.

"I guess it's my turn now, it's my turn to hunt down a grass cutter". Ava stated.

And Aiden and Oliver glanced at her at that moment.

Ethan rode the horse right straight into the compound, he was coming from Aiden's school. He came down from the horse and began sauntering toward the house...he wanted to see if Aiden had gotten home since he didn't see him at school.

Strolling straight into the living room, he sighted no one, not even a single soul...it was empty. And at that moment, his voice resounded,

"Anyone home?".

Alora ran out of her room and landed in the living room as she was now facing, Ethan. Then Ethan uttered to her,

"Wait, don't tell me you're the only one at home".

"I'm the only one at home". Alora stated, she said what he didn't want to hear.

"What of Aiden and Hazel? They aren't at home?". Ethan inquired with a kind of bewildered expression on his face.

"No, none of them is at home". Alora responded.

"What! I went to Aiden's school to pick him up but didn't find him there. So I decided to come check him here to see if he's here, but he isn't? Where did that boy go to? Where does he know? And as for Hazel, I didn't even bother to go to her school to pick her up 'cause I felt she would have gone home herself, but she isn't here too?

Where did she go to? Do these kids want to make me worry?". Ethan let out.

And after making that utterance, there was silence for some seconds, Ethan was just glancing left and right trying to think of where they could have gone to. He couldn't think of anything, so he glanced at Alora and voiced out once again,

"What of my wife and Lydia? They aren't back from the market yet?".

"No, sir". Alora retorted once again.

"How long do they want to spend there?". Ethan uttered.

He asking that question and making that utterance shows he was aware they went to the market...he knew when they left.

"Those kids would have to tell me where they went to when they get back home...that's after I'm back. I'll be going now".

Alora only nodded her head, then Ethan strolled out of the house.

******

Aiden had already handed his bow and quiver of arrows to Ava, and she handed the sack to him. She tied the rope attached to the quiver around her chest just as Aiden did, and she was holding the bow in her hand.

..It was time for her to hunt down a grass cutter if she can.

"You can do this, Ava". Oliver said to Ava.

They were strolling and glancing around in search of a grass cutter...then they sighted one. It was Ava's turn to hunt down a grass cutter, and she was the one that sighted the grass cutter.

They were all glancing at the grass cutter currently. Then Ava drew out an arrow from the quiver, placed it in the bow, then positioned the bow well as the sharp edge of the arrow was pointing toward the grass cutter.

..But would the arrow penetrate the grass cutter's body when she fires?...no one knows.

After positioning the bow well, she aimed, then fired.
