The strongest magician who started as a hunter

Farewell to the enthusiastic Mr. Maldo.

You Yiyi's wardrobe has been updated.

A black hiking backpack for adventure, a compass, an old standard short knife, two flints, etc...

According to Mr. Maldo himself, he also considered becoming a hunter when he was young, so these things were gradually prepared with passion at that time.

Even though You repeatedly emphasized that he had no need for these things, the other party couldn't resist his kindness and finally accepted them.

Looking back on the care he received from the other party in this short afternoon, You also planned to repay the other party well after the hunter exam was over.

After all, money is the thing.

It can be said to be the best thing for hunters to obtain.

…

Since I spent some time before leaving, it was almost dusk now when I looked at the sky.

Clouds gradually fill the sky.

The worry at this moment,

He was galloping on the road to the cedar tree on the top of the mountain with a very low figure.

"I hope the old ladies in the towns along the way can get off work later." You thought and gradually quickened his pace.

Along the way, he could see many passers-by camping in the forest or sitting under tall trees to rest.

"Camping in this kind of place full of wild beasts is really..."

I can't find the words to describe these guys.

Just as he thought, at night, the hidden beasts in the forest move more frequently than during the day.

This forced him to turn on "no lower limit" for defense throughout the entire process.

Compared with those large and ferocious beasts, You are more afraid of poisonous snakes that may fall from the trees, as well as various insects that contain highly toxic substances.

Toxins are very dangerous to him.

After all, this body of You is not a professional killer like Killua and Shiba. He has accumulated poison resistance since he was a child.

Although there may not be dangerous poisonous insects in this kind of forest close to human cities, even the weakest poison is probably enough for him to drink a pot.

…

An hour passed,

You finally arrived at the gloomy town that you must pass through to get to the cedar tree in your memory.

During the process, he ran at full speed while turning on the "unlimited" defense throughout the process. Although he was not attacked by wild beasts, he was still very tired.

"Fortunately, the examiners are not off duty..."

You panted heavily, and saw from a long distance that in the center of the town's only road leading to the cedar tree, there was an old woman leading a group of weirdos in white cloth, interrogating two suspected candidates. young man.

…

The old lady in charge of asking questions released the two candidates after listening to their answers.

Then, when he looked up, he noticed a young man with white hair walking leisurely not far in front of him.

The last candidate tonight...

The old woman didn't care about the boy's appearance or age. She just waited for him to come up to her and mechanically repeated the lines she had been repeating for a whole day.

"If you want to go to the top of the fir tree, there is only one road behind us."

"If you want to pass, you have to answer a question from me. The time to think about it is only five seconds. If you answer incorrectly, you will fail..."

However, before the old woman finished speaking, she saw that the white-haired kid in front of her didn't put his mind on this at first. Instead, he walked to the wall and groped back and forth.

At this moment, You followed the wall on the right, carefully feeling the aura behind the wall, and soon found an empty wall behind it.

This is truly the only way.

Not what the old woman said...the road is behind her.

Although he was worried about having to break through the door by force, he was worried about being disqualified from taking the exam, so he could only return to the old lady and accept questions.

The young man's strange behavior had already made the examiner aware that something was wrong.

"This kid...has clearly found the 'real path' just now."

What the old woman was thinking did not affect the questions coming out of her mouth:

"Are you ready? Next, I will give you a question. Except for the specified options, all other answers will be wrong."

You nodded calmly:

"Well, let's get started."

"If your mother and daughter were seriously ill at the same time, and surgery could only be performed on one person, which one would you choose?"

"One, mother; two, daughter."

Faced with such a tricky question, even though You knew in advance that the correct answer was "silence", he still couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Countdown begins, 5."

“4…”

"..."

You were silent, waiting for the countdown to end.

Although he is alone now, he will not be troubled by the two options in the question.

But sometimes when this kind of situation actually happens in reality, it tests a person's on-the-spot judgment ability in crisis situations.

Just like the trolley problem that has troubled countless people, sometimes it is not necessary to consider which side has greater value.

Rather, consider whether you should choose.

Especially when you have to make a choice, what should you do to avoid regretting it for the rest of your life?

…

In silence, the old woman had finished counting the countdown and turned to ask:

"Young man, why don't you answer?"

Youla returned to her thoughts and spoke slowly:

“There is no so-called standard answer to this kind of question that has no answer for everyone.

So silence is the right option. "

The old woman smiled and said, "Congratulations, you passed the test."

However, worry himself was not happy about it.

After all, copying answers...

…

"You discovered the real path beforehand, right?"

While the old woman was speaking, the strange man in white behind her had walked to one side and opened the secret passage hidden behind the wall.

You looked at the old woman and nodded simply without denying it.

Things like secret passages are naturally invisible to his "six eyes" that can jump over the surface and observe the shape of objects.

The old woman didn't ask any more questions, she just looked at the opened entrance:

"Through this road, you can reach the top of the cedar tree in about two hours' walk."

“There, there will be a young guide couple who will test you, and if you pass, they will take you to the location of the hunter test.

Then...good luck to you. "

"Thank you."

You simply thanked him and then walked into the secret passage.

However, after walking into the shadows...

But you waited until the stone door of the secret passage was completely closed before you really took a step forward.

"Next, it's speedrunning time..."

You smiled and turned to activate the magic power in your body.

This time, he did not intend to simply concentrate the magic power on his soles and lungs and use his legs to walk.

Instead, a more advanced form is planned.

A derivative usage of "no lower limit technique".

Commonly known as teleportation.

…

When the magic power is injected into a spell, the effect of the spell itself will be strengthened in a predetermined direction, which is called "spell reversal".

By reversing the "unlimited technique", what you get is an extremely powerful attraction——

"Cang".

The so-called "teleportation" is actually a kind of ultra-high-speed movement that can be achieved by using "Cang" to compress space.

This move was used by You before when he knocked away the short-haired man in a suit.

"It's just that this can only be used in an environment without obstacles. If it encounters an obstacle, the effect of the spell will be interrupted.

And without the 'no lower limit' protection, I would be knocked to pieces. "

In other words, use it with caution...

However, there happens to be no obstacles in this deep dark passage right now.

It was also because of this that You thought of using "teleportation."

"Just use this section of the road to practice increasing the distance of 'displacement'."

What you worry about has already started to be implemented in the next moment.

A displacement distance of about five meters at a time.

This is his current limit.

Although the distance is short, the advantage lies in the amazing frequency of performing the technique.

In the blink of an eye, you can cross dozens of meters.

…

At the same time, inside the wooden house on the top of the cedar tree,

A pair of humanoid fox-faced monsters have received a call from the interrogating mother-in-law.

I learned that a candidate passed the test.

The moment they hung up the phone, they started talking. I have already started planning how to tease the upcoming candidates next.

"Come on, I can't wait to entertain you."

"I heard he's still a little kid... I hope he won't be scared by us."

"Cackle, cluck..."

…
