Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~ Chapter 170，Part1: 1 - Carpet

Chapter170，Part1: 1 - Carpet Chapter 170 Carpet Part 1

Daily training was a lifeline for Hunters. Even if the amount of Mana Material absorbed was the root of Hunters’ power, Treasure Shrines could easily reap the lives of Hunters if they fail to improve their skills.

Inside the fifth basent floor of the Clan House of the 《First Step (Hajimari no Ashiato)》. Hunters of 《Footprints (Ashiato)》 were gathered in front of the door of the largest training ground.

Sven, who had just arrived to train, stared in wonder when he saw the people gathered.

“…… What are you guys doing? Gathered in a place like this.” (Sven)

“Ah. ………… Apparently, the fifth basent floor is reserved for today.” (Hunter)

“Reserved…… There wasn’t a system like that.” (Sven)

“………… Master is training inside right now.” (Hunter)

When he said that, I silently looked at the door.

I wonder what he was doing inside? From the other side of the thick tal door, there was a continuous sound of sothing heavy hitting the ground.

No one wanted to go in, probably because they were afraid of getting caught up in sothing.

《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 was also known as a Relics collector, so when he acquired a new Relic, he tended to try it out in the training grounds.

Moreover, he activates Relics that regular Hunters would normally hesitate to use, so you never know what will happen. He probably knew what he was doing (Because if he didn’t, he wouldn’t have activated it), but to those around him, it was just too troubleso.

“It is even more intense today…… That sucks, let’s have a drink then.” (Sven)

We could use another training ground, but as everyone says, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) doesn’t know how to hold back. It will be terrible if he breaks the ceiling.

When Sven raised his shoulder, Sven and the others left before they could get caught up in sothing as if they were accustod to this.

Aweso! This is aweso! Now I’m one with the wind!

And then I plunged headfirst into the wall with the carpet, hitting it really hard and falling to the floor.

A loud thud sound echoed through the large training ground. Fortunately, my Barrier Ring worked, so there was no damage.

I stood up with a quickness that I hadn’t shown these days.

Lucia, who refused to ride with , was leaning against the wall and was looking at with her arms crossed, frowned, and said.

“…… Leader, I think you’ve been duped, no?” (Lucia)

“No, look, it can properly fly in the sky……” (Cry)

“It doesn’t want to be ridden though……” (Lucia)

Lucia was right, the thick, luxurious carpet stood up in front of , squirming away from as if it was wary of .

A Relic device that moves by itself when activated is called an 『Autonomous』 type.

『Dog’s Chain (Chained Dog)』 was also this type, but while this type of Relics is rather easy to activate, they have their own quirks.

For example, there are many types and products of animal chains, but even chains of the sa race have different personalities, making them very difficult to use in terms of tools.

And the carpet I received seed to have a bit of a personality problem. I grinned and said.

“『Flying Carpet』, or is it better to call it 『Rebellious Carpet』 ――Abuh!” (Cry)

The carpet instantly closed the distance and delivered a blow to my body. Since it was just a carpet, its attack was light, but because of this, my Barrier Ring did not work automatically.

I coughed a little and wiped my mouth with my sleeves. Oh, not that bad, as expected of sothing that has been sleeping in the Imperial Castle’s treasury.

“Haaa… Haaa… Alright, from now on, you are my rival.” (Cry)

“A carpet, really?” (Lucia)

Its attack power seed to be as low as mine. However, his defense was much higher than mine.

I jumped on the carpet which was shadowboxing and caught its body.

At that mont, my body floated. My vision spun around, and the carpet flew through the air in all directions.

Just clinging to it was all I could do. Even with one person on board, its speed was trendous. If its acceleration is high, its maximum speed will also be quite high, so it would be a very good ans of transportation.

By the way, it can drift and can also sorsault in the air. If it was a carpet that could take people on top of it, it would have fetched a very high price.

Without delay, I crashed into the wall again. The carpet was safe because it was made of cloth, but I had consud one of my Barrier Ring.

The 『Flying Carpet』 was quite famous as a flying Relic, and it was a Relic that was traded at a considerable price.

Its fa far surpassed that of my only other flying Relic, 『Night Hiker (Dark Wings of Night Sky)』.

Depending on its size, multiple people can ride on it, and it can even hold luggage. In addition, if it is easy to activate, there is no reason why it will not be popular.

To my knowledge, I have never heard of a carpet that refuses to be ridden, which is probably the reason why His Majesty gave this carpet.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Hahahaha! Cry wiping his mouth and proclaiming that he got a new rival would have been so badass, only if it wasn’t toward a carpet! XD

The carpet shadowboxing was gold too!

Cry VS Carpet who will win!? Sa attack power but a slight advantage in the defensive power for the carpet (How can soone defense be lower than a carpet? XD)

And I wonder what’s the request the Commander had for Cry?

Don’t forget the extra chapter tomorrow thanks to Joshua!

Tchao à plus!
