Chapter 532: Chapter 201: Queen of Hearts Q_1

"...’The Queen’ excels in magical literature, favors using the long sword, and has mastered the slashing technique, said to have broken through the limit of eight strokes... Besides, although there are many rumors about her and Lei Zhe in the campus, these messages are unconfirmed..."

"Should they issue an announcement about their love relationship to the whole campus?" Xin Fat Man chuckled, interrupting the Doctor’s words: "Not everyone has your courage to openly propose to Mister Sima in class."

Xiao Xiao pulled a straight face immediately.

This embarrassment had become an insurmountable obstacle for him. Whenever he engaged in conversations, it was always dragged out from underneath the dusty rug and horsewhipped a few times.

"This kind of information doesn’t need to be deliberately confirmed," perceiving the risk of a conflict breaking out within the Hunting Team, Elder Zhang Da finally began to fulfill his duty as the main hunter, playing peacemaker: "However, the doctor also makes sense... If there’s no way to confirm the relationship between the two, other hunting teams will inevitably be at a disadvantage in terms of tactical planning."

Zheng Qing nodded in agreement.

’Lei Zhe’s rumored girlfriend’ and ’Lei Zhe’s official girlfriend’ convey completely different concepts.

If it’s the former, other hunting teams can pretend to be oblivious to her relationship with Lei Zhe, they can interfere, suppress, or even force her to retreat at will; if it’s the latter, other hunting teams, when dealing with her, will inevitably feel restricted, thus significantly reducing their operational space.

"There have been no sightings of Lei Zhe in the stands today..." Lin Guo’s faint voice spoke from the sidelines: "If the two of them really have a relationship, Lei Zhe should have come to take a look no matter what."

Xiao Xiao turned around, looking at him approvingly.

"You talk as if you have had a romance before." Xin Fat Man grumbled.

Lin Guo’s face turned red, seeming as if he wanted to argue something. However, Blue Bird decisively reached out his hand, pressed it on his head, rubbed it, and stopped his impulse.

The young wizard immediately turned his attention back to his tousled hair, forgetting the annoying fat man on the side.

Feeling the immediate surrounding quieting down again, Xiao Xiao once again spread out the notebook in his hand, turned a page, and continued to analyze.

"The two auxiliary hunters in the Queen of Hearts Q Hunting Team..."

...

...

When the spectators on the stands around the first hunting ground began to talk loudly, discussing the performances of various hunting teams on the hunting field, enjoying a few relaxing moments before the climax of the hunt competition, in the hunting ground, Queen of Hearts Q Hunting Team had already quietly and proficiently deployed standard spiral formation, focusing earnestly on their respective tasks.

On the textbook, the shape of a spiral formation is similar to a ’Fermat Spiral’─with the main hunter as the origin of the coordinates, two auxiliary hunters scatter to the left and right, standing at the starting point of the two opposing spirals; the searching hunter and wandering hunter then slowly search the hunting ground, according to the direction of the two spirals, one leading and the other following.

This approach has the advantage that the hunting team can completely and rigorously ’plow through’ the very hunting ground they are in, enabling them to not be caught off guard in the face of sudden attacks, it is very, very safe.

The disadvantage is that this tactic is too ’conservative’, whether it be searching or hunting, it appears to be a bit slow. For most hunting teams with strong ambitions, this tactic is rarely chosen unless they face opponents such as the rat demon or bug monster, who are small-sized and hard to detect.

"Coordinates East 12, North 32, at the foot of the northern mountain, there is a demon gas source with an intensity of 3.5, moving North, moving at a slow speed, tentatively labeled as 01..."

"Coordinates North 21, West 18, to the northwest, there is a demon gas source with an intensity between 2-4, suspected of being a small swarm of insects, low danger level, tentatively labeled as 02..."

"Coordinates West 14, South 31, there is a demon gas source of intensity 7 to the southwest near the intersection of the large river marsh and the southern wilderness, no sign of movement, higher level of danger, tentatively labeled as 03..."

A lean young wizard with a compass made calculations on a piece of graph paper as he rapidly reported the relevant parameters, "The current time in the hunting ground is 9:36 in the morning, the temperature is 18 degrees, still slowly rising, a light breeze is blowing from the northeast, no other influential weather conditions, suitable for all kind of spells under any weather...this should be due to the Hunting Committee adjusting the related model for the sake of fairness."

"Warning magic fluctuations are obviously visible near both demon auras labeled 2 and 3 which are sections marked by other hunting teams... Some of the fluctuations have reached the brink of registered wizards, it’s not appropriate for us to have a dispute with them at the beginning of the game."

"Given the above, I suggest target label 1." The thin young wizard put down his compass, making a final summary.

"A light breeze is blowing from the northeast, and we are directly downwind of label 1, so we do have a bit of an upper hand." Another greying haired wizard added in a deep voice: "...based on its speed, the Hunting Team should be able to kill it within half an hour... plus, adding to this is our first battle, in order to maintain the confidence of the team, I second ’Sharp Fork’s’ opinion."

After the two auxiliary hunters gave their own opinions, they both looked at the Queen standing between the antlers of a deer.

"Moon Face!!" Joan, hand on her hip, the other holding her sword, shook her head repeatedly: "Our invincible Queen of Hearts Q! If we show any fear when confronted with difficulty, we will be laughed at by everyone!"

The greying haired wizard referred to let out a bitter laugh, looking troubled as he turned to the lean young wizard.

His companion subtly shook his head.

Moon Face, in the end, steeled himself and stuck to his guns: "... Maybe we can first deal with the prey labeled 1, and then come back..."

"By that time, the Yellow Flower Tea would’ve gone cold!" The captain of the Queen of Hearts Q stamped her foot angrily: "Four Dissimilars, let’s go!"

The deer raised its head, flicking its tail, and scampered away toward the southwest.

"Where are you going?" The auxiliary hunters suddenly panicked, yelling: "Big Footboard and Insect Tail are still on the outer periphery twirling in circles..."

"We’re naturally hunting the strongest prey!" The Queen’s voice carried over with the wind, appearing somewhat broken: "You... follow behind... and don’t fall behind!"

The two auxiliary hunters looked helplessly at each other, lost for words.

Finally, the wizard codenamed ’Moon Face’ opened up the Law book, murmuring under his breath ’Bird’s tweets are crying, seeking their voice’, then began to summon the Wandering Hunter and Searching Hunter who had been sent out.

"You already know her temperament...let’s just follow her. We’ll just notify Big Footboard to pay a bit more attention to the other hunting teams around him later." The Right Aide codenamed ’Sharp Fork’ persuaded.

"Since you know it, why did you tell her about the demon gas source of strength 7?" Moon Face sounded somewhat dissatisfied: "We discussed this before... safety is the top priority in a Hunting Competition."

"You should thank me," the thin young man shrugged, looking decidedly innocent: "There’s a demon gas source with around strength 9 about 8 kilometers south, don’t tell me you didn’t feel it...Since she can still sense the strong aura in that direction regardless, before she acts on her own to challenge that behemoth, it’s better to find her a slightly gentler opponent."
