He decided that Roar was ready and could be used as a replacement for Ruff in order to resume his hunting carrier. However, things didn't turn out how he expected them to go when he began hunting.
He expected hunting to be easy for him now that his power has crossed the threshold. into the second mortal coil. He was right about that. What he was wrong about was that he had to hunt to get prey.
It was more like he wasn't allowed to hunt. It was truly a grand affair.
Arthur woke up early in the morning. He had his bath and brushed his teeth. Then he went to the bakeries to get his bread.
Now that he buys 2 good worth of bread every day, no single bakery can provide the 25,000 loaves of bread that he needs. He has to employ the services of many bakeries to get his bread.
It is more of a run. He has to go around many bakeries buying their bread and has to hire many carriages to help him transport the bread.
It is a tedious work thay will take a lot of time. Fortunately, he has Thompson and many others to help him.
There are 25 people that help him with the acquisition of bread. Each one of them is responsible for the acquisition of a thousand loaves of bread.
These 25 good Samaritans are from his dojo. They are his students.
He can have more than 25 people to help him. He can have up to 100 if he wants. But 25 are enough, so only 25 came to help.
These 25 people rotate every week because there are a lot of people who want to help him. It is not that he is forcing them to do chores for him. They are all willing to do this little work for their generous master.
He goes around the bakeries to make sure that there is no problem. Then he goes to the outskirts of the town to distribute his bread.
The carriages follow him to the outskirts of the city. They make for quite the sight.
This sight was eye-catching when it first started. But the sight of many carriages carrying bread around the city very early in the morning has become a normal thing now.
By 7 am, people have already arrived and lined up for the bread. It doesn't matter what the weather is; there are always people who are hungry and would appreciate free bread.
There are more than 30 thousand people who want bread. Not all of them will get the bread, so they are anxious and desperate.
It is going to take a lot of effort to keep them in line and distribute the bread to them. Frankly, it is something he can do alone.
Fortunately, he has a lot of helpers. Many of his students have arrived and have lined up the people into 25 lines for the distribution of bread.
Then the bread arrives, and his students begin distributing the bread. He stands by the side, harvesting the Karma while overseeing the distribution effort. This brought a smile of satisfaction to his lips.
These people know who the bread is coming from. And despite there being a lot of bread, it still isn't enough for everyone, so those who get the bread appreciate it.
All of these ensured that his due karma is received.
After distributing bread, it is time for class. So his students gather.
His class has changed over the years. The field that he uses is not littered with stools.
There are thousands of these stools. They are wooden stools made from cutting the trunk of trees into small barrel-like structures that people can sit on.
He didn't pay for the stools. Some people donated some of them while others donated money to buy the stools. Some of these people are his students, but some others see just passersby who didn't want his students to sit on the ground even if they have mats and rags to sit on.
His students sit on these wooden stools. Then they listen to his lecture for two hours.
On average, he has 5 thousand students in his class. It used to be more than that, but some quit, and some are too busy to come to class.
During class, he gets his due reward of karma. Then he goes hunting with Roar.
He didn't go hunting alone. Many of his students went with him.
They were nearly 200 in number, and all of them were at the sixth transformation. They followed him all the way to Death's Door. It was quite a sight. But there's more.
He didn't enter the forest at all. Instead, he went to a shed that had been built for him and sat down in the chair there.
The shed was like a gazebo. It had nothing to do with hunting at all.
All he did was relax while his students brought him snacks and drinks. One of them even fanned him while he lay there relaxing.
The rest of his students went into the green forest. They went together as a group to hunt beasts. Whatever they killed, they would give him half of it.
They had wanted to give him all of their prey. But he refused it because they will eventually become tired if there is no encouragement for their work.
By working together as a group, their hunting efficiency increased, and they also gained safety in numbers. What he brings to the table is helping anyone who gets injured to get proper care even if he has to pay for it.
But he rarely has to pay for health care because these groups are usually safe when they hunt, and they mostly rely on traps for their hunting.
There used to be a lot of injuries and casualties when they first started, but they have learned to work together to take down bigger and more powerful prey. They became more experienced, so they hunted more and more prey while he spent less and less money on treating injuries.
