High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 445: Chapter 114: Hunting Meeting and a Large Wave of Hunting Teams_1

Chase Hunt, one of the formats of the Hunting Committee.

In this mode, the organizers of the Hunting Meeting would release a demon into the hunting ground - according to the level of the participating hunting teams, the demon’s rank could range from a low-grade Wild Demon to a greatly fierce demon. This demon could freely hide, flee, and even fight back in the hunting ground.

The only task of the hunting team is to intercept and kill this prey.

Compared with the prevailing ’Driven Hunt’ mode in the Wizard World, ’Chase Hunt’, due to its monotonous chase and simple fights, is gradually being phased out by many hunting contests.

However, if only as a spectator event, hunting teams in ’Chase Hunt’ don’t need to consider too many risk factors and can demonstrate their teams to the fullest extent.

Especially when there are many teams participating in the demonstration, the Hunting Committee can fully present all participating teams through the slightly longer ’Chase Hunt’, without worrying about any omissions.

Originally, after the school Hunting Meeting’s opening ceremony, the school would not immediately organize a hunting game - the school cup finals are still half a month away, while the tournament’s draw, qualifying, and other preliminary rounds are yet to come. On the other hand, the other derived activities, not suitable for being held on the first day, are because the atmosphere of the hunting party has not been fully brewed.

However, as the sponsors of the Hunting Meeting, the chambers of commerce from Beta Town and the Four Seasons Pavilion obviously would not let go of any opportunity to seize benefits.

Therefore, at their strong request, the organizing committee finally compromised and arranged a demonstrative ’Chase Hunt’, on the one hand, to show the style of the University’s first hunting team to all respected guests who had come to watch, on the other hand, also to give those greedy chambers of commerce more chances to make money.

”...The twenty teams participating in the main Hunting Meeting are all top-notch teams.”

”There’s no need to mention the university team and the faculty teams of the four academies. Any one of them has a very high possibility of killing the Wild Demon. Correspondingly, these teams have the lowest odds. To be precise, the return rate is less than 1%, a bet on these teams would return a negligible profit even if it wins, and even a little capital would be lost if it fails.”

”Among the remaining fifteen hunting teams, the front runners are the Judgement Hunting Team of First Will, the Hemophilia Hunting Team of the Blood Comrades, the Youth Reserves Hunting Team of TPO, and the well-established 3A Hunting Team, Glory Hunting Team, Destiny Hunting Team, You Yao Qi Hunting Team, and Taiyi Hunting Team, etc. Of course, there’s also the burgeoning Auspicious Hunting Team that had a meteoric rise last year...”

Zheng Qing was originally lying in front of the telescope, searching for the figures of those hunting teams.

Suddenly hearing the ’Half-Face’ behind him spit out some strange words, he couldn’t help turning his head back and asking doubtfully, ”What do you mean by TPO and YPO?”

”The Pursuer Organization TPO is a loose alliance in the Wizard World that primarily targets demons of B-class and below from the ’Wanted List’... Although its history is long, it doesn’t have a lot of powerful wizards.” Xiao Xiao quickly answered the sponsored student’s question before Half-Face could speak.

”As for YPO, it is a Youth Pursuer Organization... You can understand it as the youth army developed by TPO for its members, that is, relying on these constant replenishments of fresh blood, the not-so-powerful organization YPO has been able to survive in the Wizard World for hundreds of years.”

”You explained it very thoroughly,” Half-Face teased himself, half jokingly, half mockingly, ”The only slightly inaccurate term is ’not so powerful’...In my impression, the Pursuer Organization is the world’s largest demon hunting organization...If this doesn’t qualify as powerful, then what does?”

”Only in this world,” Xiao Xiao shook his head and did not continue to argue.

”If we were to buy, do you have any recommended hunting teams?” Zhang Ji Xin’s coarse voice interrupted the conversation. Then he glanced at Doctor Xiao, slapped his hand on Half-Face’s shoulder, and greeted warmly:

”Stop discussing those tedious topics... I just want to know, which hunting team should I bet on to make money!”

Although Red Face’s male wizard’s move was a little abrupt, his reasons were very sufficient.

Half-Face paused for a bit and then responded with a smile, ”If I knew which hunting team was profitable, I wouldn’t be selling these hunting tickets everywhere...”

This not-so-funny-joke eased the atmosphere among the people a lot.

”...Of course, if you really have no idea, I can recommend a few for reference.” With a shift of the conversation, Half-Face took out a stack of paperwork from his robe and distributed them to several young wizards.

Obviously, he was also well prepared.

”These are free materials. You can find them with a little investigation... I just hope that there will be more opportunities for us to cooperate in the future.” Half-Face explained kindly, revealing the flexibility that a businessman should have:

”Personally, I suggest you purchase ’Auspicious Hunting Team’.”

”Although its ranking in ’Arcana’ is only seventeenth, considering that this data is from the beginning of the year, and that this hunting team was not established for long, to be able to rush to such a high spot, clearly has extraordinary capabilities...”

”Of course, some people say it has limited potential. But so far, I haven’t noticed any specific news in this regard.”

”If you consider it from your own perspective, choosing the old school hunting teams like ’Judgement’, ’Hemophilia’, ’Taiyi’, ’You Yao Qi’, and so on, is a very stable investment...But just like the university teams and the academy teams, stability means a lack of variables, means there isn’t much room for profit... Investing in these hunting teams will not yield much higher returns than investing in the first university team.”

”If I had to abandon one of the twenty hunting teams, it would definitely be the ’3A Hunting Team’. Although it’s a traditional strong team of Alpha Academy, in recent years, its foundation has been somewhat shaky. Many excellent talents have been taken away by ’Auspicious’, causing the entire club to lack successors... If it weren’t for Sir Friedman still serving as the chairman of this club, this tradition would have been cut off last year.”

Zheng Qing listened to Half-Face’s incessant chatter and scanned the rough printout in her hand, her eyes a little lost.

The University is a big place.

If you just go back and forth every day between classes, the library, the study room, and the cafeteria, you probably won’t even know a few students from other academies after four years.

But the University is also a very small place.

Small enough that any slight change will be known by the whole university.

Small enough that just by casually doing one thing, you could see those familiar names.

Like the Auspicious Hunting Team, like the 3A Hunting Team, like Friedman, like Sepulano.

”I suddenly feel so annoyed.” The young student leaned his head sideways, sighing.
