《Crow》First hunt
Advertisement
On next morning Ethan came to the entrance of the hunting ground. Ethan saw the sky after long time. According to map hunting ground is really big it will take weeks to complete journey. The hunting ground is surrounded by camp building, making a natural wall for the hunting grounds. If this map is correct, then this camp is structured like a rectangle, making hunting ground its center.
Ethan starts his journey his destination was the part of the forest where angry boars are found in accesses. Angry boars are tier 0 beasts. They are herbivores in nature. But they are very aggressive, they start attacking on any moving thing. And usually they are alone, that's why Ethan chooses them.
On the way Ethan saw some beast that he has not even heard of. Ethan wanted to buy an encyclopedia for the beast, but it was really expensive and he can't afford it. Whenever Ethan saw a beast he detour it. When he reaches where he can find any angry boar it was already noon.
After wandering for a while he found two angry boars that were fighting with each other. Angry boar is covered by brown hairs and two sharp teeth were coming out from its mouth. After watching them for a while, Ethan left that place he can't fight with two boars now.
After searching for a while he finally found a boar alone. Its head was buried in bush berries. It didn't notice Ethan. Ethan approaches it slowly trying to not alert it. After reaching the point where he can attack, he unsheathed his sword and attack on the back of its neck. The sword struck on the neck, but there was only a shallow wound on it. When Ethan saw that his sword was not sharp enough his face changed.
Angry boar on the other hand only shook its head and turns toward Ethan and roar angrily. It runs straight toward Ethan. Ethan hurriedly dodged by rolling on the ground. Boar passes through Ethan and head-butt a tree. Boar turns around and was ready to attack again. The tree behind it has two holes on it.

Ethan saw this and broke into a cold sweat. Angry Boar runs again toward him again and he dodges again. After 2 more times Ethan figures out that this boar were only running in straight line. When Ethan was enlightened by it, he remembered Andrew teaching "observe your enemy, find their weakness and use it in your favor"
Ethan firmed his grip on the sword and dodge incoming attacks, unlike before, he just sidesteps and boar passes through him. He swung his sword again and hit the back of the boar. But it reflected back only leaving a small wound on the boar's body. "Tsk, its skin is really flexible and tough this sword just can't penetrate its skin."
After trying one more time he gave up on trying to cut the flesh of the boar. He can only attack on soft part on the boar. And the only soft part that Ethan knows is its eyes it will be hard but he got no choice. He aim on eye this time, but it only gaze through its neck, Ethan was not fast enough.
Ethan was helpless in this aspect after all his body was still in the growing stage. It was still shocking that he can leave wound on the boar's body with his blunt sword. An adult will have difficulty to achieve this feast with this type of sword. It can tell that he got the strength that was more than good for his age.
And it's all thanks to training that he has done for five years. When he swings his sword, it always has a good angle and is accurate.
After striking and dodging for a while, Ethan was tired and his stamina was running low. This situation was looking for him. He clenched his teeth and takes the risk. This time he didn't dodge and but stand there motionlessly taking the gamble. Boar came fast and Ethan stabbed his sword in the right eye of the boar.

The sword went through, but boar only cry in pain and head butt Ethan. Ethan twisted his waist a little to avoid boar teeth in order to not get serious wound. They hit on a tree behind. Ethan was in so much pain from the collision, but he endures the pain and put more strength and his sword dug deeper inside boar.
After struggling for a while boar stops struggling and drop dead on the ground. Ethan finally releases his grip on the sword. After that, he also collapses on the ground. His breath was uneven, but there was a smile on his tired face. He was finally able to win this match of death.
When boar died a black aura came to Ethan ring and enter in then screen pop out and there was a notification saying that his points increase by 10.
When Ethan saw this he got Goosebumps 'how they can possibly track me and how they know I just kill a tier 0 beast.' Ethan looked around but did not find anyone nearby. Even if someone saw him it will take almost an hour to reach back for non-awaken. And for the awakened ones he did not think they have the manpower to follow every person that is here to only give this information. There must be some type of surveillance that using to locate them.
When this thought crossed his mind, he subconsciously raises his left hand, where was a black ring in one of his fingers. He tries to remove the ring, but it did not move at all from his finger.
Ethan shook his head, he simply didn't have enough information about aura and how it works. In his previous house talk about aura or related to it was forbidden. It's not like Andrew stop them to find the information about it. But Ethan and Amelia never bring it up because they don't want to hurt Andrew in any way. They know Andrew tries different methods to absorb Aura particles, but in the end he was not able to.
Ethan mustard up some strength and stand up, He cut a piece of meat from the boar's body with great difficulty and rushed out from the scene.
Andrew beat information about surviving alone in wild with him so he knew that he can't stay here for a long time. The smell of blood will lure out other perpetrators.
Now he wanted to find a place to rest. He has a place in mind, but he didn't know that place were safe or not. He went through the woods for a while before reaching at the entrance of a cave. He saw this cave on way when he was avoiding a beast. It was not listed on the map.
It will be perfect temporary shelter for him. Ethan entered the cave with caution unsheathed sword in his hand. When he confirmed that this place was safe he relaxed his tense muscles a little. But he didn't let his guard down.
After resting for a while he got out of the cave to collect some dry wood. After getting back, he starts the fire and roasted the meat with it. Fire also helped to warm the cave a little. Meat was overcooked, but he eats it anyway. He needs strength to hunt. He was planning to stay in hunting ground until the last day of this month to hunt more and save points.
While eating, he remembered the taste of Amelia's food that's cooked for him. He has to get out of here fast and have to found out where they take her.
