Eventually, it was my turn to try and prove myself. So, they did the standard. They give me a spear, a bow with around 15 poison-tipped arrows, and sent me out. I decided I was going to try and play it somewhat safe, so I set my sights on a buck. (I don't know if there are buck that live in Japan, please just roll with it.) I found one after a 2 hour walk in several different directions, and I managed to pierce it's skin with an arrow, allowing the poison to seep into it's body. Now, what the hunters do in this case is follow the poisoned animal slowly until it's either dead or too weak to flee, in which case they mercy kill it to put it out of it's misery. So that's what I did. I kept following this poisoned buck as it ran away. This buck was extremely resilient, so the chase lasted for days.
