Chapter 94: Hunting Results
[...]
[You fell to the bottom of the valley, were surrounded by monsters, and after that, what happened next no one knows...]
[Time gradually passed...]
[While you were desperately fleeing for your life, the time had reached around four in the afternoon.]
[In other words, it was time to check the hunting results.]
At the outermost edge of the island, which was also where the boats were moored.
The students participating in the hunt returned one after another, each carrying the monsters they had hunted to have their points calculated.
And Chiron began to inspect each team, counting their hunting results.
"Achilles Team, Achilles used his chariot together with Orion's archery techniques to hunt a large number of monsters on the island, and even included a dragon. Meets the requirement."
"Baobhan Sith Team, successfully hunted the horned Dragon Bashmu that had occupied this island for a long time. Meets the requirement."
"Mordred Team captured an Ancient Dragon, that's also very good. Meets the requirement."
"As for Gawain Team…"
At this point, Chiron glanced at the hunting spoils of Gawain's team, his expression immediately darkened, and he shook his head.
"Gawain Team does not meet the requirement."
"Why? Our side also hunted a dragon, didn't we?"
Gawain was somewhat confused.
Beside him, Tristan patted his chest proudly and boasted:
"Moreover, we didn't catch an ordinary dragon, but the legendary evil dragon Fafnir! Aside from having extremely strong combat power, this evil dragon can even transform into human form! Isn't that more high-level than their dragon?"
"What you caught is probably not a dragon."
Chiron said.
"No, sensei, I dare to guarantee it with my own trait dragon,"
Oberon said firmly, "The prey we caught is definitely a dragon! Besides that, what else could it possibly be?!"
"Alright then,"
Chiron was somewhat helpless, "stop embarrassing yourselves. Do you really think I wouldn't recognize a student from another class?"
"Damn it…"
Oberon said painfully.
"The substitution plan still failed!"
[After that, several more teams returned and submitted their hunting spoils.]
[And Chiron very quickly realized that there were still two teams that had yet to return.]
"Jason Team and Eikou Team, why haven't they come back yet…"
Chiron flipped through the checklist; only these two teams had not returned.
Could it be that something unexpected had happened along the way?
Before he could finish speaking, figures of a group of people appeared on the beach again.
It was Caenis and Heracles, along with Jason, who was unconscious. They were empty-handed, not carrying a single piece of hunting spoils.
"Where is Eikou?"
Chiron recognized at a glance that one person was missing from their group.
"What, don't tell me he isn't here either?"
Caenis asked back, saying this while rubbing her head that still hadn't fully cleared.
"Earlier we were hit by Medea's Noble Phantasm, and after we woke up, he was gone. We thought Eikou had already returned ahead of us..."
"Could it be that he encountered danger during the hunt? What did you do earlier?"
Chiron hurriedly pressed for details.
"Reporting to Chiron-sensei, earlier we went to hunt Vorpal Chicken."
Medea said obediently.
"Then where is the Vorpal Chicken?"
"It's gone as well."
"..."
Chiron could not help but worry, frowning deeply.
"Could it be that Eikou was hunted down by Vorpal Chicken? That isn't a low-level monster; with just a slight mistake, one could die on the spot."
Before a fatal incident occurred, people had to be dispatched immediately to search the entire island!
Just at that moment, from the dense bushes ahead suddenly came a series of abnormal noises, extremely loud.
Immediately after, Eikou walked out of the bushes covered in dust from head to toe, draped in animal hides like a feral survivor. He looked as though he had just gone through a long, arduous wilderness adventure, barely escaping with his life.
Behind Eikou, one seductive and enchanting Lamia after another stepped out of the forest. Their number was not small at all, extremely imposing, clearly an entire monster tribe. They pressed close to him in an extremely clingy posture, causing him to panic and try to keep a bit of distance from them.
Chiron and the others were all somewhat baffled.
All around him were Lamia, yet they seemed to have no malice whatsoever. On the contrary, they were extremely well-behaved, even proactively moving closer to him.
"Eikou, are you alright? What is going on with those Lamia?"
"Ah, well..."
Eikou scratched his head and revealed a helpless smile.
"Earlier I was hunted down by Vorpal Chicken and fell into the valley. After that, my Disaster With Women activated and seemed to attract the surrounding monsters, namely the Lamia. They helped me defeat the entire Vorpal Chicken tribe, and then even kindly handed the hunting spoils to me."
"Kindly? That humble posture clearly looks like they want to offer tribute to you. Don't tell me they have already accepted you as the leader of their tribe?"
Chiron was somewhat astonished:
"Then where are the hunting spoils?"
Eikou snapped his fingers.
Immediately, another group of tall and robust Amazoness Warriors rushed out, followed by female pirate who looked very bold and unrestrained, with headscarves tied around their heads, clearly the type with an open and straightforward temperament. In their hands, they carried Vorpal Chicken that had been captured alive.
Their appearance instantly caused the vast beach to be completely surrounded, leaving no gaps at all.
"These are the indigenous people of this island, the Amazoness Warriors tribe, and also a female pirate crew that happened to pass by here to replenish fresh water,"
Eikou wiped some sweat, "they saw me and conveniently followed along, insisting no matter what on helping me share a bit of the burden..."
"Eikou-sama!!!"
Lamia, Amazoness Warriors, female pirate, together with Medea, all the females shouted loudly in unison.
"For Eikou-sama, we are willing!"
T-This… he has completely become the leader of a group of women now, hasn't he...
Wait a second, did someone just casually shout along as well?
"Ah..."
Even Chiron-sensei, who had experienced countless events, was shocked into speechlessness.
Who allowed you to use this kind of method to hunt monsters! Compared to Vorpal Chicken, it seems you have caught something far more terrifying!
Just how exactly did you do it, and what on earth made them loyal and obedient to you to this extent?!
"This..."
Although Chiron had long known that Eikou was very popular with girls, even monsters that retained human form were affected by Disaster With Women?!
"Perhaps because monsters generally have relatively low Magic Resistance skills, and in addition, this time my Disaster With Women performed extremely strongly, so they were all attracted..."
Eikou explained.
"...I think you also do not need to return to school anymore. You might as well stay on this island and become the Harem King."
"That is not something a teacher should be saying, is it?"
"Haiz..."
Looking at the densely packed monsters, so numerous it was hard to believe, Chiron revealed a helpless smile.
"Fine then, being able to achieve this level can also be considered part of your strength."
He acknowledged, "Since that is the case, your score, I more or less already grasp it..."
Chiron paused briefly, glanced at the other students, then looked again at the monsters that had surrounded the area without leaving a single gap.
He took a deep breath and solemnly announced:
"Mochizuki Eikou, first place!"
