BXBX NOVEL Chapter 313.1
Practical Skills for Hunters [Part 1]
Around the time Emma was in the Embroidery class, George and the boys, on the other side, were taking the Practical Skills for Hunters (Beginner Level), a required course for male students.
Is Emma taking the lesson obediently without any accidents…
George, William, and even Joshua’s worries knew no end. But they couldn’t keep being distracted anymore because they had to change their clothes while also feeling nervous in their hearts about the first class they would attend in the academy.
Practical Skills for Hunters was similar to the Physical Education class in George and William’s previous world.
The teacher was already waiting in the classroom inside the school building for Practical Skills for Hunters and instructed the students to change into easy-to-move clothes. While the students were changing into the clothes they had already prepared and brought beforehand, the teacher kept staring at them.
“Um, Nii-sama. That teacher… Does he have any weird hobbies? He is staring so intently at every inch of the male students’ bodies when we are changing…”
William whispered to George with a hangdog look.
“Hm? Father is also like that every time before going hunting, you know?”
“F-Father too?!”
“Yeah, because you’re risking your life when you’re hunting. He is checking whether anyone is feeling unwell or has injuries. People born in the borderland like us will report even the lightest injuries when going hunting. But there are people born in the Royal Capital who are very obstinate with the ‘Spirit of Chivalry’? or whatever that is that I don’t get and go hunting while hiding their injuries because they mistakenly think that hiding their weakness is a virtue.”
“Whaa… That’s…”
Not a few monsters became frenzied at the smell of [human] blood.
Even William could imagine that the hunt would be hindered if at least one human among the special attack unit, who was in the vanguard to defeat monsters, emitted a blood scent from the smallest scratch wound.
“Well, because normally, it’s already dangerous for someone whose movements are more sluggish than usual to stand in the hunting ground, okay? Even though hiding it can only bring nothing but trouble, they won’t really understand our sentiment because they don’t want to show any weakness or whatnot.”
Monster hunting required teamwork more than anything else.
Due to the establishment of the Six Articles of Feudal Lord Monster Control, borderland lords became obliged to take in and train hunters from territories with no monster appearances. On countless occasions, this led to many troubles, not because of the character traits of the regional people but because of the character traits of the fief citizens.
In particular, hunters from the vicinity of the Royal Capital often ignored the important precautions at first because they found it unpleasant to be taught by hunters of a borderland in the middle of nowhere.
Not only did they not listen no matter how many times the instructors said it, but they would also ask the feudal lord to be responsible if they got injured because of their own dismissive attitude.
“If there are rookies, the feudal lord will monitor every process starting from clothes-changing to avoid potential troubles in advance. Well, that’s pretty much about it.”
“Wow! As expected of George nii-sama
! You are very knowledgeable about hunting, I see.”“No, Joshua? I don’t remember ever becoming your older brother, though?”
The one who flattered George slickly wasn’t his younger brother William but Joshua.
“Aren’t I your future brother-in-law?”
“Cut it out.”
At times like this, Joshua chuckled like he was joking, but the light in his eyes told you he was not.
“Practical Skills for Hunters… If it weren’t for it being the required course for male students, I would be embroidering beside Emma-sama around now…”
Joshua was such a weird existence who was willing to come all the way to the Royal Capital from Palace just because he didn’t want to be separated from Emma. And he was a pervert who had bought a Baron title just so he could attend the same academy as Emma.
“Which means that teacher is neither a pervert nor a shotacon, right? I’m relieved.”
William patted his chest in relief.
“…I think the teacher also doesn’t want to be called a shotacon by you, out of everyone.”
William’s lolicon disease he got from his past life wasn’t cured even after he reincarnated.
“Nii-sama… That’s so mean…”
“William-sama! It’s okay, cheer up!”
“No, I don’t want to be told that by Joshua…”
