Hunter Jusenkyou

Gudersnipe

At the age of 17, Hunter was offered admission to Gudersnipe Assassin's School, which he immediately accepted. At the school he found opportunities that would never have presented themselves in his old life.

Together with his roommate, Jason Bur'I, the two immediately set about getting into trouble. They learned the ins and outs of the school in no time, and were keen to pursue independant projects, often ahead of proper tutelage. His team set their sights high, and competed in most of the ranked fields.

Atmospheric Pilot

As an atmospheric fighter pilot, Hunter was quick to volunteer for SEAD Duty before even learning what it was. He and Jason would fly almost exclusively SEAD missions, with a handful of high-profile reconnaissance and bombing missions. He flew almost no direct combat sortes, but was awarded the Air Medal for his work on weasel duty.

The majority of Hunter's sortes happened during a 1-month period in which he and Jason flew 97 missions totally one hundred and sixy hours over enemy air space. Every single one was considered a SEAD mission, usually with a minimum of four targets. He and Jason flew light, single-pilot aircraft designed primarily for manuverability in a high-threat environment.

During this time, Hunter also achieved "flying ace" status, with a total of seven air-to-air kills(the minimum required by the Crimson Blade is five). This is despite all of his missions being SEAD-style; he never once went in armed with air-to-air missiles; meaning every kill was achieved via Vulcan cannon, in very close quarters. Jason managed only three kills during his entire tenure as an atmospheric pilot, completely missing out on Ace status.

Other

From atmospheric combat he moved on to space, where he lead the Daemon Wing unit of Harpies. Daemon Wing was made up primarily of his team and his neighbors, the ThunderFlash Team. Daemon Wing did not recieve any commendations but was involved in several very high-profile battles. Their slogan was "If you strap enough thrust onto a brick, it will soar like an eagle. If you strap enough thrust onto an eagle, it will soar like Daemon Wing".

After several missions leading Daemon Wing, Hunter took the Trivoli Exam and was given command of the Saratoga along with promotion to the rank of Captain. He would later use the Saratoga as his flagship when he made Admiral.

Commendations

At the school, Hunter earned the rank of Admiral Commodore and commanded the school's entire Western Fleet. He earned 5 of the 6 commendations awarded by the school, including Star Unit and Star Student.

Triple-Ace

Hunter is one of a small handful of students ever to be granted "triple-ace" status, requireing that he achieve a minimum of five in-combat kills against any vehicles, in three seperate venues. In this case, air, space, and mecha.
