Episode 11
The grassy forest of a peaceful jewel island.
Lenia, a female student in class F, knelt down to her knees and leveled her gaze with Carbuncle.
“Your ears are cute!”
A cute appearance resembling a rabbit or cat, with bright eyes. Carbuncle had all the conditions for loveliness.
“Kyaum!”
On top of that, a tight mouth that eagerly cracked the shamrock. Lenia, an international student from Australia, was obsessed with Carbuncle.
“Such a pet… I really wanted to have one…. If only Gaon wasn’t in the dormitory…”
Lenia petted Carbuncle. Carbuncle bristled his fur and made a violent display of defiance.
“Cow!”
“Ah, sorry! I won’t touch you hehe! Are you angry?”
Lenia smiled, as if even Carbuncle’s behavior was cute. However, there was a problem with Happy Time with Carbuncle. It was the fact that Rhenia was taking a test right now.
“Oh right! test! But how do you hit that cute carbuncle…”
The moment Lenia got into trouble.
fault!
Shin Yoo-seong, who used body strengthening, appeared like a flash and hit Carbuncle’s eyebrows.
Fuck!
“Keehyak!”
Let the carbuncle stretch backwards with a terrifying sound. Lenia was frightened.
“omg!”
Let’s look at Lenia with a puzzled face. Shin Yoo-seong slipped Lenia and removed the jewel from Carbuncle’s forehead.
Then, he brought the jewel to a wristband called [Pocket].
Saaak!
A jewel that disappears with the light from the band. Shin Yooseong muttered casually.
“You’ve got one of the first classes.”
fault!
Shin Yoo-seong disappears without looking back along with Carbuncle’s jewel. Lenia looked at the back of Shin Yuseong and murmured softly.
“As expected, the devil in the arena…”
Shin Yoo-seong did not let go of the cute carbuncle for his goal.

Luxurious cruise.
As if enjoying a vacation, Kim Eun-ah was lying on the sunbed. Cruise and school uniform. A strange combination of a parasol and sunglasses. Kim Eun-ah looked at the monitor with an interesting expression.
“…Really amazing.”
The upper class students were able to observe the situation in the exam hall while waiting for the next exam. There were a lot of K-channel drone cameras, but there was only one person Kim Eun-ah paid attention to in the lower class.
[Camera1-Shin Yoo-seong]
Shin Yoo-seong, the disciple of King Kwon.
At first, it was a simple interest because of the value of the name, but not anymore.
‘…how on earth do you use body enhancement for so long?’
The most questionable thing for Kim Eun-ah while watching Shin Yoo-seong’s battle was the strengthening of her body. For normal hunters, strengthening the body was not the main skill. The reason is that instead of temporarily increasing physical abilities through mana, the amount of mana consumed during the duration was enormous.
‘…But you use it like you’re eating, right?’
However, Kim Eun-ah’s thoughts stopped in doubt. The trick behind Shin Yoo-seong’s body enhancement was the essence of the training that King Kwon perfected over several decades.
Of course, the principle was simple.
The teachings that King Kwon Yu Won-hak gave to Shin Yu-seong were only one word.
[Only focus your mana on the desired body part! Short, too!]
However, although the teaching was short, it was not simple. Fighting while strengthening only a part of the body required a lot of concentration.
Ironically, however, Shin Yoo-seong achieved a technique that even S-class hunters failed thanks to her F-class characteristics.
F-class trait. [Strengthen concentration].
Shin Yoo-seong didn’t even know the name of his own trait, but [Strengthening Concentration] completed the teachings of Kwon King with only 12 years of training.
Of course, Kim Eun-ah thought simply, wiggling her index finger.
‘…is the mana barrel really big?’
Eunah Kim rested her chin on the back of her white hand and stared at the monitor. Then, Shin Yoo-seong evaluated everything one by one.
‘Super S-level physical ability. Mana pass is also S-class. But the characteristics are F-class… How can a guy like this exist?’
It was the first time for Kim Eun-ah to have such an opponent. Most of the battles I’ve experienced so far have been battles that relied on characteristics.
Perhaps because of that, the compatibility of characteristics was clear regardless of skill.
‘…and he can’t even catch the species. The reason I lost to Adela was because of his compatibility.’
Let’s think until there. Kim Eun-ah unknowingly let the words out of her mouth.
“It’s also fun.”
Kim Eun-ah wanted to completely destroy Shin Yoo-seong. Although defeated by Adela, who uses ice. It seemed that he had an advantage against an opponent who attacked with his bare body like Shin Yoo-seong.
‘…It looks perfect to pick a fight with Adela.’
Kim Eun-ah took out her cell phone with a mischievous smile. Then I turned on the app made by Gaon.
‘…If there’s no reward, you won’t come to the arena, right? After this test, he will get 100SP too.’
After thinking for a while, Eunah Kim started typing something into the app.
[Apply for Dalian: Shin Yuseong]
[Condition: Loser pays 150 SP to winner. Insufficient SP is subtracted as -.]
“Heh! You can’t even think of rejecting this, right?”
SP (School Points).
At Gaon Academy, SP was like a currency given to students. From convenient services such as outing tickets that can be used even on weekdays to important parts that affect the exam, SP has always been in the academy.
However, Shin Yoo-seong, who entered the school late, was unable to collect any SP.
“Well, on the contrary, I can’t help it if I get scared and leave.”
Kim Eun-ah smiled confidently and turned off the monitor.

A swamp in the middle of Jewel Island.
Class D’s Jin Min-ah and Seong Ik-hyeok were facing monsters back to back.
“No, there are so many baby salamanders in the swamp? It’s completely different from what I heard at the academy!”
Seong Ik-hyeon shouted angrily. Jin Min-ah, who was listening, also screamed annoyed.
“damn! Do you want to lie in the infirmary and be treated with nanomachines again? Aren’t you paying attention!?”
“Oh, why are you so angry! Humanly, six of them are too many!”
While the students in Class D were bickering, the Baby Salamanders slowly closed the distance.
“Kyaaaa!”
“Kyao!”
Roaring!
Let one of them breathe fire. Jin Min-ah’s face turned pale. Jin Min-ah’s thigh, which handles the sword, was attacked and blood was flowing. In other words, the same movement as before was impossible.
“Oh really, what do you do?”
I killed 3 out of 9, but that was the limit for the two. Seong Ik-hyeon muttered in despair.
“It’s over now. When you open your eyes, you will be in the capsule in the infirmary, right?”
The moment when the two students were frustrated like that.
thud!
Shin Yoo-seong appeared.
“There are six left here.”
To Jin Min-ah and Seong Ik-hyeon, the six baby salamanders were threatening monsters. To Shin Yoo-seong, it was just scores. As proof, Shin Yuseong looked at the two and asked casually.
“Is it okay if I catch them all?”
The two looked at each other at Shin Yoo-sung’s question and nodded their heads with blank expressions.
“Uh uh! We thank you!”
“Catch all you want!”
For Jin Min-ah and Seong Ik-hyeon, who were on the verge of being eliminated, the appearance of Shin Yoo-seong was a saving rope. Jin Min-ah whispered to Seong Ik-hyeon with a happy face.
“You must be strong enough to destroy Ju Ha-jin, right?”
“One three? If you catch it, it will be difficult for him too. Let us help you take care of the rest.”
“Oh, how many jewels did you use that as an excuse?”
While Jin Min-ah, who was in a good mood, was smiling, Shin Yoo-seong rushed at Baby Salamander at high speed.
fault.
Even on the street right in front of you.
Slowly, he extended his palm to Baby Salamander. Contrary to its cute name, it was a lizard nearly 2 meters in length, befitting a second-class monster.
But when Shin Yoo-seong’s hand touches her.
A huge shockwave swept over Baby Salamander’s body.
Throwing Shinryu Bokryongam Crusher
Kuwaaaang!
The destructive power is too grandiose for a level 2 monster. Baby Salamander turned to dust and disappeared, leaving only the jewel in her head.
“omg.”
“…no crazy.”
Jin Min-ah and Seong Ik-hyeon were at a loss for words at Shin Yoo-sung’s shocking battle. Until now, I had never seen a student making powder by punching a level 2 monster.
“What the hell is your identity!”
Jin Min-ah, who came to her senses, screamed in surprise. A baby salamander beside her spewed fire at her.
However, Shin Yuseong did not allow the attack. Let’s stretch out our hands wrapped in mana to the flames in front of Jin Min-ah. The flames evaded Shin Yooseong and moved to the sides.
“Is that a trait? Maybe telekinesis? According to rumors, it was said that the trait was F-class…”
However, as Seong Ik-hyeon predicted, Shin Yoo-seong did not use telekinesis. He simply spewed mana with his palm. Of course, it took a lot of concentration to eject enough mana to instantly become a shield. It wasn’t a problem for Shin Yuseong, who had 12 years of training and had the [Intensify Concentration] trait.
And the constitution of the syllable vein and mana seniority repeatedly overflowed with mana overflowing.
So Shin Yoo-seong was able to fight such an ignorant battle. No, only Shin Yoo-seong was possible.
Shin Yooseong was a monster created by King Kwon.
Kwaaang!
Shin Yoo-seong, who turned all the monsters into powder with his final kick, left in an instant. Jin Min-ah looked at the back of Shin Yoo-seong for a while, then opened her mouth belatedly.
“He took what we caught, right?”
Seong Ik-hyun checked the shallow swamp with his hand and shook his head.
“…All 9 jewels are gone.”
“Even our own was thrifty. What is the price of life?”
Even if he noticed it now, Shin Yoo-seong had already disappeared.
