Thousand Tricks. The leader of Grieving Souls had reached Level 8 at a younger age than any other hunter in the empire. His strength and cunning knew no bounds. He was an elusive figure with innumerable victories to his name. Yet, despite his prestige, nobody knew anything specific about his powers.

Chloe Welter had picked up many rumors of this man throughout her time as an employee of the Explorer’s Association. His preternatural intellect caused him to be feared not only by his enemies but even by his allies. Among the hunters of First Steps, his incomprehensible power and almost prescient schemes were referred to as the “Thousand Trials.” On occasion, Chloe would also hear preposterous tales of this hunter from her uncle Gark, the Association Branch Manager.

Yet, despite all this, she still hadn’t expected Thousand Tricks would just leave her behind. She understood that expediency was necessary in a hunter’s line of work, but this was just far too absurd. To think she had been nervous about accompanying him on his duty, all for it to lead to this. The rumors were right, he was unpredictable.

The sun had set a while ago and a storm raged outside. This wasn’t the sort of weather to be traveling in. What awful timing, the clouds had just begun to gather when Chloe had been given her orders to go after Thousand Tricks.

The carriage was all ready and waiting for her. Chloe quickly finished her preparations and ran off to the gate.

She spent most of her time in her Explorer’s Association uniform, but had now eschewed her professional garb for travel-appropriate attire. These were clothes she had prepared long ago, back when she aspired to be a hunter. Now for the first time in a while, a sword hung at her hip.

Near the gate was a carriage bearing the insignia of the Explorer’s Association and the hunters that had been hired to escort her. They stood beneath a rudimentary shelter and looked at the sky with dissatisfaction. The red-haired man at the front of the group noticed Chloe and called out to her.

“Are we really gonna go in this awful weather?” he asked.

“We are. This is urgent business,” she answered.

“Gilbert, that’s no way to speak to a client!” chided Rhuda Runebeck, the well-endowed brunette hunter standing next to him.

“No, I don’t mind,” said Chloe. “I understand that there are conditions which hunters prefer to avoid.”

“R-Right. Still, I can’t get over how quickly I got an order directly from the Association,” said Gilbert.

The other hunters behind him all nodded in agreement. The sky was dark and rain was coming down, but a certain brightness shone in their faces. Quests issued by the Explorer’s Association paid very well and were only offered to hunters who were deemed to have potential or to be trustworthy.

The party chosen to guard Chloe was Scorching Whirlwind. Its members included the promising solo hunter Rhuda Runebeck as well as Gilbert Bush, who was one of the better-known young hunters. Chloe had few complaints about a party like this.
