Just a quick update I found out that I was thinking of a platoon not a barrack so from now on I'll be calling it a platoon. Also sorry for the short/cringe last chapter I was nervous so this time it shall be a bit longer, and hopefully less cringe. Anyhow the OC I will be picking is Alena Frost sorry killroy if this isn't her name but I kinda like this one better. Lastly for the Pickle noobs deviljho is a giant trex monster and his nickname is pickle...yes he was nick named after a fucking plant.
-Start-
I started making my way to my platoon which was 52-b which was a 2 mile walk away.
I decided to fast walk there I guess I was moving around 5 miles per hour because it took 40 minutes to get there.
I walked into the platoon it was kinda basic 2 small bunk-beds and 4 large was also 4 weapon stands which still amazed me because somehow they could hold any weapon.
I was the only one here unless you count the room manager palico who was busy ignoring Dusty's attempt at hitting on her. It was another hour or so until finally somebody showed up it was Max that guy behind me in the sign up line.
He looked amazed at the sight in front of him which surprised me because this room was all in all crappy. It had bare wood flooring, it was cold, and it stank like death. Behind him came Bertha the girl in front of me in the sign up line so it was surprising that it took her this long to get here.
They seemed to be in the middle of an argument whether a deviljho could kill an elder dragon or would run away. "I'm telling you deviljho would use his dragon breath and then crush them with his giant jaw." Max protested and then Bertha started yelling "and I'm telling you most elder dragons are too strong too mess with. If deviljho just up and picked up kirin it would use its thunder to blast him away."
It went on like this for a while before I opened up my maw "honestly it would probably depend on who pickle fought if he fought an elder dragon weak to dragon he has a chance but if fought kirin sense he is weak to thunder he would probable lose or get really hurt." Both of them looked at me confused then thought about if whither what I said was stupid or smart, and if I was being nice or being a smart-ass.
After awhile Max finally spoke up and said "I still can't tell why we nick-named a badass like deviljho after a veggie." We all introduced ourselves and our palicos Max's palico was named Prince and Bretha's was named Ruby.
After about 2 hours of talking about random things I learned that Max was from a poor village and that's why he thought this place was so cool and Bertha was from a village that a lot of big name hunter come from. Max had chose dual blades while Bertha had chose the mighty iron bow we also all picked leather armor cause we knew that wearing those chain ones would get really hot especially against any fire type wyverns.
All of a sudden the room manager told us we needed to go back to the big building. Let me tell you something having both of you squad mates tell you we needed to run there sucked it was 20 minutes of pure running no stopping I was exhausted when we got to the main building. I just realized I had three people in my squad not 4 so was a little confused but whatever we needed to go where the crowd was going.
Once we got there it was giant crowd of people all muttering after about 10 minutes of waiting we had this guy dressed in Rathalos come up and hand us these small cages full of fireflys with a note saying "Scout-flys" whatever that means. All of a sudden the stage that was in front of us had a guy shooting with a booming voices. "WELCOME ladies and gentlemen to hunter boot-camp we are here to turn you into murdering machines when your done here you will have no problem killing a kelbi on sight, But for today we are just giving you a handler. Handlers will keep track of your quests."
There was a lot of muttering I couldn't tell at first but then I realized that they were making fun of handlers. You see handlers seem like they have the most safe/easy job so they get made fun of a lot."without any delays let the choosing begin."the man on stage said. It was interesting of course the handlers got to choose not the hunters. Since they are still in school too the handlers get to re-choose if they want at the end of the year.
Of course the hottest handler picked by that asshole, but I didn't care girls like that are usually high maintenance anyway. Finally a young sort of tan woman walked up stage she seemed nice she had really long black hair which ends were white that she kept in a ponytail with one bang covering her left eye her right eye was a deep ocean blue. She looked around finally pointing towards us then the guy next to her whispered something and she walked off and disappeared.
Me and Max looked at each other like game on. It was another half hour till it was over and we were told to return to our platoon. After another 40 minute walk back and the entire time me and Max fought over who was going to befriend the new handler first. When we went inside I noticed the platoon smelled a lot better and even looked better.
Dusty, Prince, Ruby, and a new palico were all chatting it up while the new handler was reading. Once we all were in the room she looked up at us with her 1 eye and said " ok lets start this off with introductions hi my name is Alena Frost." We all said our names me and Max were fighting for who got to do it first though. All Alena did was slightly chuckle at our display.
Alena started explaining to us our basic tools "ok obviously you guys have heard of paintballs right" we all nodded "well these scout flys are trained to find the monster and show you the way to the monster. You can also use these to find mushrooms, ferns, small animals, and other things." She continued to explain basic things for a while like potions, how to craft stuff, fishing, cooking, whetstones, and other really important stuff. I decided I would go to bed after she was done because we were told that tomorrow would be a hard day. How hard I didn't know but it was to late to worry cause... I was asleep.
-End of chapter-
Well I hope this was at least a bit better than last chapter because last time I rushed it and it turned out worse than I wanted. I hope that I made Alena to your standard killjoy anyway till next time PEACE.
