Hunting 101 - Class 4 (Wednesday period 7)

When the students entered the Danger Shop, they found themselves standing on the side of a deserted highway at night time.



John was leaning against the same black car from the last time. "Welcome to Lone Pine Highway. The one mile stretch beginning just past that curve has had an inordinate amount of disappearances, going back decades. There have also been stories, told by people who've travelled this highway, about seeing a dark sinister figure on a black horse. Some of the stories go so far as to talk about the figure galloping after them brandishing a sword. Digging deeper into the area's local folklore, you would find a tale of a highwayman hung on a tree somewhere along this road back in Colonial times. His bones are said to be buried among the roots of the tree.

"Your assignment is to lay this ghost to rest without getting yourselves killed or injured." He looked around at the gathered students seriously. "Unlike the last ghost you faced, this one is very aggressive and dangerous and will attack you on sight. Keep that in mind and act accordingly.

"Also unlike last week, I'm allowing you to decide how to group yourselves in going after this ghost. You can pair up with whom you will, or even go in groups of three or four, or if you're feeling particularly brave -- or foolhardy -- you can attempt this alone. Although," John smiled slightly, "I wouldn't reccomend the latter.

"You'll find a large assortment of weapons and equipment in the trunk of this car; when you have chosen your group, choose what you think you'll need to defend yourselves and get the job done."

John leaned back against the hood of the car with a grin. "If there are no questions, you may begin when ready."

"Well, crap. I'm looking for something in a learn it quick training." He checks the shotgun ammo for salt shot and lead shot.

"I've sat on my ass too long. I need to do something. Tired of getting my ass handed to me all the time here."

"You know my offer to train you in swordwork still stands," Setsuna said as she swung the katana a little, getting used to its feel. She almost wanted to ask Professor Winchester if she could go get Yuunagi, but didn't want to seem like she was being all elitist. A katana wouldn't feel right, and she'd have to adjust the techniques a little to accomidate the shorter blade. "My Thursdays and Fridays are entirely free."

"I can do either. Or both. If you don't mind a student who's swinging an elegant piece of Japanese steel like a length of rebar or baseball bat." John looks on the table. No rebar.

"Something tells me we should definately start you out with bokken in the gym," Setsuna said with a small, wry little grin. "But maybe we should talk about this after we take care of this ghost?"

John hefts the shotgun. "Oh yah." He grabs his backpack with supplies.

"Let's bust ghosts."
