Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 30 The Grievances of the Young Men
In a meeting room of the Bo City Hunter Alliance, four young men sat upright, facing Li Yu who had launched the secondary account "Yu Chen".

The four young men looked at each other, confused as to why they were suddenly approached by this Feather Dust Hunter.

You know, this person's reputation is well-known in the Bo City hunter circle. Whether it is his debut battle with the legendary bounty No. 52, or his promotion to a senior hunter after completing high-difficulty tasks continuously in just one year, or his bright future of becoming the fastest person in Bo City to enter the ranks of elite hunters...

As for the four of them...

Ok……

The future can be expected?

Why did the senior hunter, who had nothing to do with us, come to visit?

When the four of them were at a loss for words, Hunter Yuchen suddenly made them break out in a cold sweat.
"Why...why do you use magic on ordinary people?"

"Senior Yu...Senior Yu Chen, please don't talk nonsense!"

"When did we use magic on ordinary people?"

As soon as the Feather Dust Hunter finished speaking, a red-haired young man suddenly stood up with a nervous look on his face and hurriedly explained. Wasn't his panicked tone too respectful? If it was taken too seriously, it could be regarded as a rebuttal to a senior hunter and he would be punished by the Hunter Alliance.

But the red-haired young man didn't pay attention at the moment, and was still focused on refuting the words of the Feather Dust Hunter.

Have no idea!

If I don't explain clearly and I'm really accused of using magic on ordinary people, it won't be as simple as just staying in the police station. I'll be taken directly to trial. I'll resist being punished severely!
"Weren't you about to use fire magic on that ordinary person on the street at noon?"

The young man didn't expect that the Feather Dust Hunter just glanced at him casually and said in a serious tone:

"If it wasn't for a kind-hearted little brother who reacted quickly and took that ordinary person away in time, your magic would have landed directly on that person, right?"

noon?

At this moment, several people suddenly recalled the scene on the street, and their backs felt cold, and they suddenly realized.

No wonder!

No wonder Senior Yu Chen suddenly came to them. It turned out that he had witnessed the scene on the street. The old hunter senior, who was full of justice, came to punish the bad wizards who violated the magician principles and to uphold justice for ordinary people.

Now that they know the real reason why they were visited, they can prescribe the right remedy, especially since they are the one in the right and they can definitely argue.

"Senior, you misunderstood!"

The one who spoke was still the red-haired young man. There was no other way. He was the one who was witnessed attempting to attack ordinary people, so he had to prove his innocence.

"I'm not planning on using magic to attack him!"

"I just wanted to use fire magic to create a small flame to scare him."

"Scare him?"

Senior Yu Chen frowned.
"Why scare him?"

It would have been fine if they hadn't mentioned it, but once it was mentioned, the four young men were collectively filled with indignation.
"Fuck..."

"Ok?"

As soon as the curse word came out, Yuchen Hunter snorted, and the curse word was about to be blurted out but was taken back in time. Even so, the anger on his face did not diminish.

"Senior, you may not know that it was that person who pestered us and pestered us in every possible way. Otherwise, how could we be so angry?"

"Stalking? Clinging?"

The Feather Dust Hunter raised doubts.

"Why is that? How dare an ordinary person like him bother you?"

"Whoa!"

Several people looked at each other, and then sighed.

"We were blinded by our own ignorance and accepted the reward from that person..."

Then there was a series of complaints and resentment, and the content of the story was exactly the same as the version told by Shi Liang.

Several young people from Bo City who graduated from college and returned to their hometown got together to form a team of mage hunters. As newbies, they planned to find a few simple and safe bounties to test the waters first. Income was not the primary goal, but mainly to exercise personal abilities and teamwork.

Then, miraculously, they spotted a mission in the Hunter Alliance lobby that was extremely suitable for them. The mission requirements were tailor-made for them, and it was located in the city of Bo, with extremely high security guarantees, and there was a very generous reward!
Can they bear this?

It can't be!

The young man, who had not yet experienced the dangers of the underworld, happily accepted the task. After meeting the employer, he found that the other party was quite easy to talk to. Only the old housekeeper next to him looked difficult to deal with, but it didn't matter. They just felt that they were too lucky. The only shortcoming of the employer was that he was a bit sloppy, but his identity was just a researcher, which was in line with the stereotype of researchers by outsiders, so they didn't care.

The first six months were fine. It seemed that their employer had been preparing for some experiment and let them do as they pleased. He just asked them to stand in front of unfamiliar instruments from time to time to scan their bodies and detect some incomprehensible data. He also asked a few people to input magic energy into the machines. No blood was drawn or samples were taken, and there was no sign of any mad scientists.

Originally they were happy to have a leisurely life, as it did not affect their salary, and they could earn some extra money by working part-time from time to time.

Until the so-called experiment officially started...

Thinking of that period of time, several people almost cried.
"Senior...that man is simply a lunatic!"

The young man in red was almost in tears.

"madman?"

Yuchen Hunter was puzzled and waited for the next part.

"You don't know! His experimental projects are simply abnormal. Is that something that an ordinary magician can accomplish? They can't be completed. They don't have the ability to do it, right?"

"Look at my hands!"

With a "swish", the young man in red quickly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slightly red forearms.

"Look at my hand. It was burned by fire magic, and I'm just now dealing with the aftereffects. In just one month, I got five severe burns and more than ten minor burns. The most serious one nearly crippled my entire arm."

"I didn't get hurt so many times even when I was studying magic at the academy."

"During that time, I went to the hospital every day, and the doctors and nurses all knew me."

"He even asked me if I wanted to become a VIP member at the hospital!"

The crying tone in the words seemed to reveal the endless grievances and pain that the young man had suffered.

"It's not just me. Who else hasn't been to the hospital a few times?"

The red-haired boy signaled to the others with his eyes, and the other three nodded in agreement.

"We studied magic for so many years and finally graduated from the academy. But within a year after returning to Bo City, we had barely seen any demons and almost killed ourselves!"

"Tell me..."

"Can we continue doing this job?"

Finally, after listening to the tragic endings of several rookies, Yuchen Hunter spoke up.
"Since this mission is so dangerous, how did you manage to hold out for so long?"

According to several people, after the formal experiment began, they continued to persist for two months and only gave up the task when they could not bear it anymore.

"This one……"

This time, several people stopped speaking in unison and started explaining one after another.

"Although the experiment was dangerous, our strength did grow and our physical fitness improved a bit."

"Besides, there aren't many bad things about that person. He was just very strict during the experiment. Not only were our hospital expenses reimbursed, but we also received three times the compensation."

“We had a pretty pleasant time there.”

"..."

There are many advantages, but there is one biggest disadvantage.

"but……"

"Too dangerous!"

“It’s just killing me.”

"I want to live a few more years."

"I want to die at the hands of a demon, not by my own doing."

"..."

"The future described by that guy, where magicians fight monsters hand-to-hand, sounds great, but it's a bit unrealistic. It's too dangerous and could easily cost one's life."

The red-haired boy made the final summary.

The method is good, but a bit useless.
