Every now and then, there's a bit of trouble with the packs, but it's never been anything serious enough to force an evacuation. In fact, it tends to be a popular 'starting area' for those aspiring to become Huntsman and Huntresses. This was one of the days where we were expecting a team of four to arrive in order to deal with a pack of Grimm that we'd been having trouble with.
Minor problem... We were trying to do role call. Make sure everyone's safe. There were a few people that didn't show up. If we wait, they could die. Without hesitation I gather my weapon and supplies and begin to set off.
"Karasu! Where are you going? It's dangerous, you'll die!"
With that, I give a small smirk. All Heroes have a badass boast, right? "I am the wind. And the wind you cannot kill.", is what I give in response. And rush off to hunt the Grimm!
The surrounding area is mostly forests and grasslands. It's a pretty nice sight, though I don't exactly have the time to stop and admire it. I'd been keeping track of the pack's movements for a little while, so I have some pretty good guesses as to where to find them.
Sure enough, it doesn't take me very long to hunt them down. A pack of twenty Grimm. Beowolves, to be exact. I place my hand on the hilt of the Katana sheathed at my side, and move into stance as they notice me.
The pack moves in, and I begin my assault! I evade a claw swipe and answer with a quick draw and slash through the torso. Bringing my sword back into bearing, I turn and perform another slash, this time aimed at a second Beowolf's neck.
My blade's making clean cuts right through them. This isn't so bad... I move my blade to block an incoming charge. And then I proceed to kick the Beowolf off balance, then striking it between the neck and shoulder. The pack begins to back off a bit, I sheath my sword and place my finger on the trigger.
Then, I rush forward, pulling the trigger and unleashing a devastating slash that annihilates at least five Beowolves! I carry on the momentum, dashing through with several more slashes which cut through the Grimm with ease. Soon enough, the entire pack is reduced to nothing.
I sheath my sword and begin to make my way back to the village. It's at least much safer now even if I didn't find the people that were missing. I can't imagine the students and their accompanying Huntsman will be very happy...
It also turns out, I had missed two of the pack. The... Shall we say, Alpha and it's mate. I end up getting forced onto the defensive due to the surprise attack they had launched. They're quite a deal stronger than the younger ones I just fought...
It's the worst case scenario. No backup, two strong enemies, and they ambushed. As I'm staying on the defensive and desperately looking for the opening, an attack that even I have trouble keeping up with cuts them both down... I turn to see an experienced looking warrior, and four students accompanying him.
Cut to present, I'm sitting in an interrogation room, "... Well, that could have gone better." ()
