Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Warm spring was hard to come by. Frosts had been covering the area for several months. The trees finally blossomed. The fragrance of the flowers was strong compared to previous years. It permeated the air on the streets. The fragrance of flowers remained intoxicating even after people went into their houses at night.

The cold was finally over. The warm climate returned. The plants that had been through the cold seemed to have been “baptized”. The trees and flowers blossomed even more.

The girl wore a neat uniform. Her black hair rested on her shoulders. She had a pair of soulful and beautiful eyes, like melting snow flowing in an alpine mountain stream. Imperial College reopened on a spring day. The girl walked along the long path filled with flowers toward the college entrance and grabbed everyone’s attention. She carried her books and walked at a slow pace…

“Hi, mate! I haven’t seen you before. I’m the vice president of the student council. I know most of the people in Imperial College.” A handsome young man walked over.

“I’m an exchange student from Pearl Institute,” said the girl.

“I thought the Ocean Demons destroyed Pearl Institute. I heard all the people moved to Ding City,” said the vice president of the student council.

“Yes, that’s true. Where is the dean’s office? I’m looking for Dean Song He,” said the girl.

“I’ll take you there. You’re here in Imperial College for the very first time. You might lose your way.”

“Okay. Thank you.’

Jiang Bingming was the vice president who led the exchange student to the dean’s office. He glanced at her. Many pretty girls in Imperial College captured his attention. However, the female exchange student exuded a unique aura. She was still new in college. Hence, Jiang Bingming could not stop himself from stealing a few glances at her.

She was very beautiful and charming. She was his type. He thought he was fortunate enough to pass by and greet her confidently. If the smug playboys saw her, she would be in trouble.

“Sir, are you there? I’m the vice president of the student council, Jiang Bingming. An exchange student from Pearl Institute is here looking for you. ‘ Jiang Bingming knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Song He’s voice was heard from the other side of the door.

“Good day, sir.”

Song He nodded. He looked at the exchange student. He smiled at her. “Are you Song Qiming’s youngest granddaughter, Leng Lingling?”

“Yes, I am, sir. Nice to meet you,” said Leng Lingling.

“I heard that you and MO Fan are partners in the Hunter Union. Are you a Seven-Star Hunter Master?” asked Song He.

Leng Lingling nodded.

Jiang Bingming’s jaw dropped. He looked at Leng Lingling in shock.

‘S-She’s a Seven-Star Hunter Master?! Is this a joke?!’

Hardly any of the first-class graduates from Imperial College ever became a Hunter Master. How could the exchange student possibly be a Seven-Star Hunter Master?!

“I’ve seen your application. If you want to become a Senior Hunter, you have to at least obtain the title of the Honorary Hunter Master in the Hunter Master Tournament. Imperial College has a Hunter Society. Besides, we take part in the Hunter Master Tournament using the name of the Hunter Society,” said Song He.

“Okay. So… can I join the Hunter Society?” asked Leng Lingling.

“Sure. You’re a freshman, and you’ve already joined the top graduation assessment-level project. I do not doubt your abilities, but I’m worried that the Hunter Society members will find it a bit hard to accept this. In terms of star ranking, you’re qualified to become their leader. However, given your age and grade…” Song He scratched his head. For a moment, he did not know how to handle the situation.

“S-Sir, I’m one of the members of the society. Are you kidding me? Is she truly a Seven-Star Hunter Master? A Seven-Star Hunter Master must complete an international-level bounty task. On top of that, it has to be a task that offers a huge bounty!” said Jiang Bingming.

“She did complete quite a few bounties of that level,” said Dean Song He.

‘A-A few…?!’

The task for that level of bounty was not as simple as finding lost cats or dogs by the streets. Even some of the Senior Hunters could not solve the tasks!

“Sir, are you worried that some of the members in the Hunter Society may refuse to follow my instructions due to my young age? Don’t worry. You don’t have to mention to them that I’m the Seven-Star Hunter Master. All I want is to aualifv to take Dart in the Hunter Master Tournament,” said Leng Lingling.

Age was indeed a troublesome issue. Leng Lingling had been a hunter for seven or eight years. She had handled both major and minor bounty tasks and witnessed many things, but those had come to pass even before she became an adult.

She still needed a certificate. If she truly wanted to become a Senior Hunter, she had to participate in the Hunter Master Tournament and obtain the title of Honorary Hunter Master in the tournament.

Of course, a Senior Hunter was more than just a title. They had to fulfill many complicated requirements. If she was determined to become a Senior Hunter, she had to take the first step independently. She had to rely on herself in the future.

“That’s true. All you need is a pass to join the tournament. Bingming, please take her to the Hunter Society. Inform the teacher who leads the program that she’s my niece and that she wishes to grow her knowledge with the team.” Song He thought this was the proper way to handle it.

The main issue was that the Hunter Society had its own management system. Lingling was a Seven-Star Hunter Master, and her sudden involvement would more or less cause a disruption.

“Noted, sir,” said Jiang Bingming.

“I’ll inform the teacher in charge. Leng Lingling, follow the team and make us proud,” said Song He.

“I will. Thank you, sir,” said Leng Lingling. “Bingming, sorry to trouble you.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s perfectly alright. By the way, are you truly a Seven-Star Hunter Master?”

“I used to have a great partner. He was the one who guided me. I was just hanging around to earn some hunter contribution points,” said Leng Lingling humbly.

“So that’s how it is. Like I said earlier, I don’t believe you’re a Seven-Star Hunter Master at such a young age. I also aim to become a Senior Hunter. Let’s work hard together!” Jiang Bingming breathed out a long sigh of relief. ‘She is forced to become one of the Hunter Masters.’

Indeed, some of the old, qualified hunters solved the bounty tasks on their own, then passed them to their descendants so that their descendants could quickly earn a spot in the hunter circle.

The fact that a person had helped Lingling gain her Seven-Star Hunter Master title showed that she came from an extraordinary background.

She was beautiful and charming with an unfathomable background. She seemed to have a good temperament, too. She was an ideal woman.

‘Since she is still new to the adult world and society, I have to take advantage of this and be quick to act on it.’

Jiang Bingming had a plan in mind..
