First official hunt (2)

"Ok, guys, remember this, don't go farther than a hundred meters each," Erik said.

"Yeah, yeah..." a girl from another team said. "However, I can't understand why we must follow your orders," she added.

Erik knew something like that was bound to happen. The reason was simple, Erik was the lowest ranked of the 32 people present at that moment. However, he wasn't shy to reply.

"First of all, the idea of hunting in a bigger group was mine. Secondly, I'm the most knowledgeable guy out there regarding thaids. Besides, it's not like any of you stepped up to take the role. Since things are like this, just shut up and listen to what I have to say."

The girl didn't reply but kept staring angrily into his eyes as if challenging him. He decided it would be best to ignore her for the time being. Luckily, she wasn't a member of his team, so the hot potato didn't end with him in the end.
