"A rough past, huh? I suppose I can relate to that. But...even so, you want to become a hunter, right? Then how do you expect to improve, if you don't give your all every single day?

"You seem to be under the that thought that if people see how strong you are, they'll hate you or something, or be jealous. However, if anything...I feel like not giving your all when you fight annoys people even more. It's better to defeat someone with all your might, than to show less and make them feel like they aren't worthy of you."

He motioned to a nearby house that seemed to be somewhat intact.

"We'll camp there tonight, I'll go and get dinner ready...unless you want to cook?"
