Chapter 409: Chapter 78 Basic Organization Format of Hunting team_1

Demon hunting competitions typically take place in professional hunting grounds, with several hunting teams jointly hunting designated types and quantities of demons.

Each hunting team is comprised of five hunters.

One is the principal hunter, responsible for the primary hunting mission. Most team leaders also come from the principal hunters within the teams.

There are two auxiliary hunters, known as the ’Left Auxiliary’ and the ’Right Aide’. They are responsible for assisting the principal hunter. Typically, a ’meat-shield type’ wizard is arranged to be the Left Auxiliary to attract the demon’s attention. Then a wizard proficient in divination is appointed to plan strategies and map out the itinerary for the entire hunting team.

One is the search hunter, responsible for locating the demons. In the hunting team, the importance of a wizard who can first discover hidden demons and confirm their location in a vast open hunting field is self-evident.

The last one is a roaming hunter, mainly responsible for moving and supporting wherever necessary. After all, the length of the hunting races is not fixed, and the other four members of the team may inevitably get injured or underperform during the hunt. At that time, the roaming hunter will selectively provide assistance to the weaker links in the team, ensuring the continuity of the hunting activities.

Of course, the way the roaming hunter is used is not just limited to the role of a ’substitute’. Many renowned hunting teams have their unique personnel arrangements.

For example, some hunting teams use the roaming hunter as a ’scout,’ responsible for vigilance and communication; some teams opt for a ’heal and support type’ roaming hunter to provide logistical support for the whole team; and there are even quite extreme teams that choose the ’Double King Mode,’ allowing the roaming hunter to take on the same tasks and responsibilities as the principal hunter.

In this respect, the organizing committee and referees of the demon hunting competition do not limit the hunting team’s self-expression.

After all, demon hunting is an extremely dangerous competition, often involving survival or death. Therefore, most rules of the hunts are very lenient and even rudimentary.

All one needs to do is find the target and either kill or capture it.

"So, we need five official team members." After detailing the composition of a hunting team to everyone, Zhang Ji Xin almost immediately began a grander plan: "In addition to that, we need to start the team’s adaptive training as soon as possible, need to find suitable coaches, need to set up a tactical plan, and so on. All of these are very important..."

Sensing Lin Guo’s unchanging expression, the Red-Faced male wizard quickly added, "Of course, besides official team members, we also need several reserves and logistics personnel... these are also indispensable for every star hunting team."

Hearing this, Lin Guo’s tensed face slightly relaxed.

"And don’t forget about hunting team managers, like Robert Bufford or Inoue Ayako. They are another integral part of a complete hunting team," Xin Fat Man, holding the paw of an orange cat, gesticulated.

"Hunting Team Manager?" Zhang Ji Xin nodded reluctantly. "Although we don’t need to consider attracting sponsorship or hiring cheerleaders at the moment, we certainly need a liaison with the organizing committee... After all, the Hunting Team Leader already has a heavy workload and shouldn’t be distracted during the competition."

"These issues must be resolved today," he finally concluded. "We don’t have much time."

"First, the official team members need to be nominated." Xiao Xiao, with a pen in her hand, jabbed at the student lounging on the table, pretending to be dead, a few times, "You are the leader of the Absolution Knights, so this is something you need to do."

"You!" Zheng Qing drew in a sharp breath at the jab, glanced up, and found unfriendly glances all around him. He backed down immediately. His original gesture towards Xiao Xiao was redirected to several others, "And you...you...you...that makes four of us."

Aside from Xiao Xiao, he pointed at Xin Fat Man, Zhang Ji Xin, and Blue Bird.

Of course, during this process, Zheng Qing deliberately ignored Lin Guo’s raised arm.

"Based on the analysis just now, the principal hunter requires extensive hunting experience and strong combat capability... so, Elder Zhang, this great responsibility is yours!" Although they were short of one member, Zheng Qing did not rush to a conclusion but decided to assign roles for the confirmed members first.

Zhang Ji Xin was obviously a bit surprised.

"I thought you would be the principal hunter," said the Red Face Wizard, scratching his head, looking embarrassed.

"Me?" Zheng Qing pointed at his own nose, "What for? To deliver food to wild demons?... Or are you saying, you don’t have confidence in being the principal hunter?"

"No problem..." Zhang Ji Xin quickly shook his head, eagerly accepting the appointment.

Then he turned around, with a beaming face at the others: "I can brag about this at home... I am also a main hunter in the team. My brother always said that my level couldn’t get into the hunting team, ha-ha, I am sure this will surprise him big time!"

"Don’t act so dumb." Zheng Qing snorted: "Be more professional, give everyone some hope...you are the one who knows most about these things in our team...Since you’re the main hunter, you should pick an auxiliary hunter for yourself."

He cleverly threw out the hard decision of picking a person.

"Ha-ha," Zhang Ji Xin grinned, his gaze quickly scanning around the dormitory, mumbling to himself, "This kind of thing needs to be thought through slowly... do any of you have recommendations?"

No one responded.

Only the Orange Cat sneezed boredly.

"Then, Fat Man act as Left Auxiliary, I remember you are a Blue Giant, right?" Zhang Ji Xin glanced questioningly at Xin, and once he received a clear response, his face instantly lit up: "I have to admit, Fat Man is a natural MT, he’s both tough and cocky...

"I’ve never seen you change shape, Fat Man," Zheng Qing also expressed some interest, "Why don’t we try to get used to it during training? Do you want me to prepare an extra pair of trousers for you?"

"Why do you need extra trousers, to put on your head?" Xin Fat Man looked at him with a disgusted face.

"Won’t your transformation burst your clothes?" Zheng Qing thought about various scenarios and laughed like a stroke patient: "I mean, maybe we should prepare a camera to keep some youthful memories for you..."

Xin Fat Man grimaced, emotionlessly hugging the cat in his arm.

Zhang Ji Xin ignored the bickering between Zheng Qing and Xin, and continued to select his auxiliary hunter: "...So, the hunting team still needs an auxiliary hunter who is good at divination and analysis."

With that said, he looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Doctor, the position of Right Aide is undeniably yours!" He exaggeratedly raised his hand, pointing finger by finger, counting: "Rich in knowledge, good at divination, not very good at fighting, but very good at defense... I remember you have a magic artifact like a turtle shell on the special plane, which is very good for defense..."

"To be precise, that’s a divining tool," Xiao Xiao corrected quietly: "Defense is just the magic effect inherent in the turtle shell."

"Perfect!" Zhang Ji Xin punched eagerly into his palm, exclaiming: "Who else is more suitable for the position of Right Aide than you?"

He looked at everyone on both sides.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, no one opposed.

"Then let it be." Xiao Xiao lay weakly on the table, seemingly not surprised by his role.

"And a tracker." Zheng Qing turned his gaze to Blue Bird.

"Dylan." Instead of declining, Blue Bird recommended another person succinctly.

Admittedly, his recommendation caused several people’s eyes to light up.

"Almost forgot about that old guy." Xin Fat Man grumbled, lifting his eyes to the big coffin lying quietly on the bed, quickly lowered his head, rubbing his eyes repeatedly: "Bad luck, bad luck... why didn’t this guy close the curtains before he left today?!"
