The Hunter Academy

"Perfect, I have nothing to say about your performance" Atalanta was just as surprised as the other students.

The students couldn't notice something that Atalanta did. The sword had cleanly pierced the hare's heart, killing it in the act.

She did not know if this was intentional, but if so, a rare genius had appeared in her class. A genius who deserved each and every one of her efforts to nurture.

Setanta returned to the side room. No student approached to congratulate him as they were intimidated to see Setanta's display of skills, only one girl approached.

"Well done" Amy congratulated him, she was slightly flushed.

"Thank you" Setanta smiled at her, showing her all his white teeth.

Amy blushed even more and ran back to her chair. Everyone laughed slightly and the formerly tense atmosphere became lighter. Everyone followed Amy's example and began to congratulate Setanta for his performance in the event.

Atalanta kept calling students until it was Sahazel's turn.

"Sahazel Fallen"

Atalanta waited for the student, in whom she had the most expectation, to come out and take the test. She didn't expect him to do as well as Setanta, but she expected something better than the rest.

But Sahazel did not go out, he was still sleeping inside the parallel room. Fleur was anxiously trying to awaken him while Setanta only laughed at the underneath of her useless efforts.

The glass in the side room only show what is happening inside the training field and do not allow those inside the training field to see what is happening inside the side room. So Atalanta didn´t noticed that Sahazel was sleeping.

Fleur decided to go in his place. Atalanta was surprised to see a girl coming out at Sahazel's place.

"Fleur Froid, right?" She was another of the girls who had made an impression on Atalanta, although not as strong as Sahazel and Setanta.

"Yes" Fleur bowed politely.

"Why hasn't Sahazel come out?" she asked confusedly.

"He's in no condition to go out so I've come out in his place, he may be ready for when I'm done" Fleur spoke in his usual cold tone.

Well, she wasn´t lying, Sahazel was sleeping so he couldn´t take the trial.

"I see, then we'll do that."

"Have you ever fought a monster?"

"No" Fleur answered sincerely.

Atalanta nodded and warned her as she warned the rest of the class. She took the hare and dropped it.

Fleur was ready when the hare attacked. She dodged nimbly and tried to imitate Setanta by trying to hit the hare as it avoided her.

She missed by a hair's breadth, but that was something Fleur was already waiting for. The hare was angry to see that it was almost hit and attacked Fleur again with more ferocity than before.

This time Fleur did not try the previous move again, but dodged agile and then proactively attacked the hare. She now managed to make a slight cut in one of the legs, she did not hesitate to cut the head of the hare at the time it was paralyzed.

She absorbed the hare's energy and returned to her original place.

"Well, although you missed the first attack, it was a close one and you got the second one right. You have good dodging skills and you didn't hesitate to cut the head off. Not bad at all" Atalanta praised Fleur.

Atalanta was quite satisfied. Although she wasn't as good as Setanta, you could say she was also a genius.

"What do you think?" Setanta asked to the sleeping Sahazel.

"She is like a rough diamond, it only remains to shape it" Sahazel opened his eyes and answered. It seemed that he had not been sleeping at any time.

"Of course, she is a low quality diamond. She is not like you, Arthur or the members of the shadows. She has a limit" Sahazel was clear.

"A diamond is still a diamond" Setanta reminded him.

"That's right, she can easily reach the level of Princess Wang or that little girl Jeanne."

"And Miss Long? Setanta joked with Sahazel.

"She is special, she has a hidden power within her body. Maybe even members of the Long family don´t know about the existence of this power," Sahazel said with a serious face.

"Is it so serious?" Setanta asked stunned.

"Sahazel, get out now!" Fleur saw Sahazel awake and called him quickly.

"Coming, coming" Sahazel got up and took a sword, he left the parallel room with the same lazy attitude that characterizes him.

Fleur sat down on her chair with a cold face.

"Is something wrong, miss?" Setanta joked.

"Sahazel really pisses me off" She said with frustration on her face.

Setanta laughed softly. He had become accustomed to Sahazel's attitude after so many years of cooperation.

Sahazel was currently facing Atalanta with a strange expression on his face.

"Are you saying you didn't go out before because you were sleeping?"

"That's right." Sahazel didn't bother to deny it.

"Aah, it doesn't matter. Have you ever fought monsters?"

"Yes"

Atalanta didn't show anything on the outside but on the inside he was really happy.

(Good! Two out of twenty who have fought against monsters is not bad at all)

"Let's see how you do it." She dropped the hare.

The hare did not hesitate as when Setanta was and attacked Sahazel without hesitation.

Everyone was shocked again when they saw the scene in front of them. On both sides of Sahazel were the two halves of the hare, not a drop of blood had fallen on Sahazel's clothing.

The hare had suffered a clean cut while attacking Sahazel. The cut was so clean that the blood was late in coming out and Sahazel had come out of the fight intact. Obviously this was a detail that had gone unnoticed by most of those present.

"Unbelievable" Atalanta murmured stunned.

She came out of the stun and was tremendously excited. Not only was there a genius within her class, but there were two filthy monsters. She was certain that with them she could take her class to the top.

"I am not really used to fight with a sword" A complaint similar to Setanta's came from Sahazel's lips.

"I have nothing to say about your test, it was perfect" Atalanta gave an evaluation equal to that of Setanta.

Sahazel shrugged his shoulders and returned to the side room, this time accompanied by the teacher as he was the last to perform the test.

The students had learned from Setanta's previous experience, they were going to congratulate Sahazel but could not do it as Atalanta began to explain.

"We are finished. The test generally went quite well, you all passed except for one small accident. I hope to be able to take you to the top during these five years".

The students erupted in cheers. They had the confidence in the heavens as they passed the test and even more when they saw the performances of Fleur and especially Setanta and Sahazel. Only one of them was still trembling and with a pale face.

"Everyone can have the meat of the hare that has killed" Atalanta told them by removing the 20 hares from a storage ring, winning again the cheers of all the students.

That night the students celebrated a small welcome barbecue inside the training camp.
