Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 41

A Slime Summoned Beast popped out to protect me.

Leez, the slime fox, threw a dagger the moment the countdown ended.

It was so fast that the prospective Hunter, Pierre, couldn’t even react before the dagger pierced his chest.

Normally, in a virtual match, you wouldn’t die from something like this.

But in one hit, his HP gauge plummeted, and he died instantly on the spot.

It was proof that the slime fox Leez was overwhelmingly stronger than her opponent, Pierre.

A sudden silence fell upon the unexpected turn of events. Even I hadn’t anticipated this.

No one in the vast arena dared to speak.

"Yip? I just threw the dagger with all my might, and he died! Master!"

Rather, the attacking slime fox Leez looked at me with wide, surprised eyes.

"Yeah...? Uh... well... I didn’t expect him to go down like that either."

I glanced at Layla, who had volunteered to be the referee.

She was just as bewildered.

But our eyes met.

"Neo... Neo Haias wins."

She awkwardly declared my victory.

At the same time, the hemispherical barrier quickly disappeared, and the dagger that had been lodged in his chest vanished.

People who appeared to be medics from the Goblin Guild, who had been waiting in advance, rushed over.

The medics, kneeling and examining the unconscious Pierre, shook their heads.

I was nervous, like a criminal awaiting judgment, wondering if something had gone wrong.

After all, I had turned a potential talent for the Goblin Guild into that state.

"He has suffered a powerful impact and is unable to continue fighting. Neo Haias is the victor as he is unable to continue the battle."

The oldest-looking man among the medics said.

Then, a murmur gradually arose from the audience seats...

"Waaaaaaaah!"

I thought they would criticize me, but unexpectedly, cheers erupted.

I awkwardly raised my hand in response to the shower of applause and enthusiastic cheers.

"Yes~? The humans like it, Master?"

"Nyaaang! This is nothing, nya~!"

"Well... how many humans here could beat us? Yip!"

"I want to fight too, Master!"

The beast-kin who were clinging to my side all looked at me at once.

Invisible Summoned Beasts to others, with S-rank abilities, and there were four of them.

They had subdued a talented prospective Hunter in one blow.

What would happen if they faced a real Hunter?

And this was the top-tier Goblin Guild.

Where could I find a better practical test than this?

"How about it? Can you guys fight more?"

"Yes~!"

"Nyaaaaaang!"

"Yip!"

"Wooooooof! Woooooof!"

In response to my question, the four beast-kin slime Summoned Beasts expressed their confidence with animalistic cries.

The beast-kin were still in perfect condition.

I watched the carried-off prospective Hunter Pierre and spun around in place.

Filled with confidence from the continuous cheers, I opened my mouth towards the Goblin Guild members looking at me.

"The barrier and the seniors are gathered. You’ve given me your precious time, but it’s too bad to end the sparring like this. Guild Master Layla. If you allow it, may I spar with the seniors?"

Silence fell again at my shout.

She wasn’t wearing a displeased expression, but rather looking at me with eyes that showed interest.

I had a good feeling about this for some reason.

After thinking for a few seconds, she slowly opened her mouth.

"You’re a stronger prospective Hunter and student than I thought. Very well. If there are any Guild members who wish to spar with Student Neo Haias, I will allow it."

At her Guild Master’s cool permission, several Guild members rose from their seats.

Of course, these were Hunters I had never seen before. But I could feel the strong and refined energy of Mana.

These weren’t the kind of Hunters you could find just anywhere.

They were powerful Hunters who had confidently entered the top-tier Guild with their skills.

Hunters of that level wouldn’t be easily defeated like Pierre.

I wanted to become stronger. No, I had to become stronger.

I wanted to avenge my parents and create a world where Monsters and Villains no longer threatened people’s precious lives and property.

Wasn’t that the reason I had entered the Hunter Academy, enduring all sorts of humiliation and contempt?

I would gain their recognition here.

I would make the Goblin Guild, no, Layla, desperate to have me.

Then, I would go to other Guilds, crush them with my skills, and make even more people want me.

I watched as several Guild members came down to this place and made a resolution.

"Yes~...!"

"Nya... Nyaaaang!"

"Yip!"

"Woof... Woooooof!"

The four Summoned Beasts, as if reading my mind, clung to my body and made sweet cries.

’Yes... you guys are so admirable... huh?’

Ding!

-That time of the month has come for the Summoned Beasts.

-Summoned Beast. An irresistible mating urge and an unyielding heat have come to the Slime Chimera Rabbit Pawpie.

-Summoned Beast. An irresistible mating urge and an unyielding heat have come to the Slime Chimera Cat Yuyu.

-Summoned Beast. An irresistible mating urge and an unyielding heat have come to the Slime Chimera Fox Leez.

-Summoned Beast. An irresistible mating urge and an unyielding heat have come to the Spime Chimera Wolf Iris.

At the appearance of the translucent window, heart-shaped pupils formed in the eyes of the four Summoned Beasts.

They drooled and rubbed their chests.

They made seductive cries, wagging their tails and perking up their ears.

"N-Noooo! No way! You can’t go into heat here! Okay? I’ll do it after the battle is over. Just hold on until then!"

If only one of them showed signs, like the rabbit Pawpie, the other three Summoned Beasts could restrain her, but...

When that time of the month came simultaneously like this, I had to calm them down with my body alone.

S-rank Summoned Beasts who only looked at me and followed me.

The worst flaw had manifested at this crucial moment.

"Yes~...!"

"Nyaaaaa! Nyaaaang!"

"Yip... Yip...! Yip!"

"Wooooooof~ Woof! Woof~"

"..."

Ahh shit. Here we go again.
