Next, Stan touched the corpse with his bare hands and dug into its chest.
He widened the gap in the chest and saw the broken Center.
Then, he grabbed some device that measured angles and checked the broken Center.
"Not Sparkly Bear," he said.
Then, he looked at Nervon for a bit before looking at Kyle.
Finally, he focused on Kyle’s hammer and saw the blood on the end of its pick.
"Ah, seems like you got the last hit," Stan said.
Nervon looked at Kyle in shock.
The superior also looked at Kyle with narrowed eyes.
Kyle shrugged. "He was not dead, and he was recovering. I’m not going to carry a guy that wanted to kill me to the town. What if he pulls out a knife and slits my throat or something?"
"I mean, I could’ve also just left him there."
Nervon took a deep breath.
Nervon was an extremely experienced hunter, but he had never killed a human before.
At this moment, he felt bad for Kyle.
Killing a human couldn’t be easy.
"Tell me exactly what happened," the superior ordered while Stan went back to inspecting the corpse.
Kyle did just that.
He basically told him everything exactly as it happened.
"Why were you shouting in the forest in the dark in the first place?" the superior asked after the first three sentences.
"Training," Kyle said. "I can deal with most wildlife. Dealing with controlled danger is not as deadly as dealing with uncontrolled danger. If I learn how to deal with this kind of danger, I might survive a bad incident in the future."
Kyle basically just repeated Theodor’s reasoning.
"That’s reckless and foolish!" Nervon shouted. "You are not a Warrior or Fighter. You’re a hunter!"
Kyle just rubbed the back of his head.
’I also didn’t want to do it, okay?’ he thought. ’It’s fucking Theodor that makes me do this shit!’
"But that’s what I did," Kyle said.
Nervon snorted.
"Continue," the superior said.
Then, Kyle told him about his conversation with the assailant.
"Baron? Are you sure he said Baron?" the superior asked with narrowed eyes.
"Definitely," Kyle said. "He was also very angry when he realized that I didn’t know no Baron. Guess he thought I was one of his allies or something."
Kyle continued narrating everything.
When he came to the part where he made the assailant stumble, the others became surprised.
"Why didn’t you just escape?" the superior asked.
"Because fuck him," Kyle answered. "The guy was infuriating me with his constant arrows and running away. The guy hit me with like five arrows or so. I was quite angry."
"Also, what if he escapes? He knew what I looked like, while I didn’t know what he looked like. That guy could have stalked me in the city and killed me and anyone I’m close to."
"I’m not about to risk Samson and his family."
Nervon grimaced.
This was not a good situation.
It was just sad that Kyle had to kill someone to get out of it.
"Continue," the superior said.
