Episode 360 Winter
Vacation.
For students aspiring to become hunters, these four letters had a very different meaning. As long as the holiday is long, he was able to go out for a long time without obtaining permission for extracurricular activities, which only high-ranking students can get, and the activity he did at that time leads to Hunter’s recognition.
“Especially, the most important thing among them is the points paid by the association…”
The Hunter Association awarded points according to the difficulty of the mission to encourage students to engage in outside activities.
“Ahaha! It’s as if we won first place in the rankings this time!”
The owner of the voice was Na Ji-hye from Inno Academy. Although he did not receive attention due to a crushing defeat by Adela in the selection round, the story was different when it came to outside activities.
The ranking of the Hunter Association is not about selecting the strong. It was important to clear as many missions as possible in a limited amount of time.
It had only been a few days since winter vacation started, but it was a very long time for Na Ji-hye.
“How hard it really was…”
Na Ji-hye, who caught a cold, sniffled her nose and recalled the past time one by one. Single-handedly, he destroyed a colony of vampire wasps, went on a dungeon tour with the children of Eita Kindergarten, and climbed a snowy mountain where the 4th-level boss, White Ghost, haunted, and also obtained rare herbs.
Of course, Na Ji-hye’s tenacity exceeded common sense, such as completing a total of 6 missions in an instant.
“Six in only six days!”
Na Ji-hye was excited and quickly checked her score.
“Of course, I’m the first place…”
👌👌👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼—
Na-hye Na [Inno Academy]
Point :
125P
It was a whopping 125P. That’s a huge score for clearing 2 level 3 missions and 4 level 2 difficulty missions. Besides, who could do it in a few days after winter break started?
[Point Ranking by Academy]
1st place: Shin Yoo-seong [Gaon]
Points: 722P
2nd place: Lorelai [Clock Tower]
Points: 715P
Joint 3rd place: Adela [Gaon]
Points: 705P
Angela [Clock Tower]
Points: 705P
“What is this.. ..”
Na Ji-hye knelt down in incredible shock, leaving even the honey she had received as a gift from the apiary.
“…722 points? There’s no way that kind of score is possible! Oh I see! It’s a computational error! Is that so!?”
Na Ji-hye denies the reality and lies on her face in the stale room, staring blankly at her pocket. However, there was no change in score or ranking.
Rather, a party member who stopped by the insolvent room told Na Ji-hye the truth.
“Ah, Captain… I must’ve been in the mountains, so I didn’t know. They are now on the news, making headlines abroad, and it’s no joke…”
“What!? why!?”
I admit that I have the skills to do so after conceding a hundred times, but what I have been given now is only a few days at most.
Seeing Na Ji-hye’s hard-to-believe expression, the party member turned on the broadcast instead of answering.
[The Witch of Calamity Louis you attacked is said to be level 7 from level 6! Unusual among all records…]
Beep!
[It is said that it was the students who performed better than the veteran level 6 hunters in the strategy!]
Beep!
[Gaon’s Shin Yoo-seong and Clock Tower’s Lorelai students… I’m really looking forward to what the young but outstanding party leaders will achieve in the future.]
Beep!
[Student Shin Yoo-seong is still attending the academy, but none of the guilds affiliated with Shinsung Group have already scouted…]
Beep!
[This is K-Channel’s Yuhanna Reporter! As you can see, the panoramic view of Volterra where the barrier was lifted due to the dazzling performance of Gaon Academy students completely melted the ice, and the shape of Ruin Castle was nowhere to be found…] Really like a party member said, the world is all over the world no matter what channel you turn on
. It was only a story about Shin Yoo-seong and Adela. Does it make sense that Adela defeated the level 7 boss while she dealt with the bloodsucking wasps and messed with the children?
“Uh uh… I lost again…”
Could it be because of the harsh schedule?
Or is it because of the disappointment of not winning first place? Na Ji-hye collapsed on the spot, suffering from anxiety.
Although she had a better spirit than anyone else, she could hardly get up from her seat today.
* * *
Is it because of the hard strategy?
Shin Yoo-sung and Adela have been asleep all day since returning from Volterra and have not woken up. It was an essential process for Hunter to undergo a hospital examination after completing a large-scale attack, so there was no particular problem with his body.
“I must have been very tired. When I see her sleeping so soundly even after a day has passed…”
Even when Shin Yoo-seong first brought Adela, Kim Eun-ah gave her a jealous gaze, but now she feels sorry for her.
“Well, the Hunter Association made a hundred mistakes this time. After analyzing it belatedly, the boss is level 7 or higher… It’s a relief that it’s really a meteor.”
Thanks to the Hunter Association’s prediction of the revived Lewis’ combat power as level 6, Shin Yoo-seong and the attack team set out to attack Lewis with a number that was far short of the appropriate level.
If Shin Yoo-seong fails to attack, his life is in danger. Kim Eun-ah felt dizzy just by assuming the situation.
“Yeah… I’m so glad. It must have been a difficult battle for Yooseong and Adela. Ooh, I’m glad!”
Sumire, who has rarely shown weakness recently, let out a long sigh of relief, saying that she let go of her worries when she saw Shin Yoo-sung and Adela returning.
If they knew it was such a dangerous attack, Kim Eun-ah and Sumire would never have sent only Shin Yoo-seong and Adela to the attack.
This time, the Lewis Expedition was a strategy that completely failed to predict the data, from a formation with no 7th graders to only 6 at most.
The success of this attack is thanks to Shin Yuseong’s unmatched combat power and the sacrifice of Chronoa, the goddess of time, to protect Lorelai.
Suug-
But why is this guy stuck between his teeth like this?
“But Yooseong and Adela did all the hard work, so why is he doing this?”
Kim Eun-ah saw Shin Yoo-seong and Adela. In that narrow space, none other than Velvet, occupied its place so proudly.
“Because Velvet deserves this…”
Even though Kim Eun-ah didn’t acknowledge it, Velvet nodded with a very satisfied face.
The hallucination that Adela fell into was a ‘nightmare curse’ imposed by Louise the witch, and it was a high-level skill that even a legendary hunter could not easily solve without the help of an artifact.
The reason why Velvet was able to intervene into the dream world and awaken Adela without any help was because of the dragon’s unique nature and the bond she had formed even before hatching from the egg.
“Kyaa… Yesterday’s Velvet was so amazing, it’s something only Velvet can do!”
However, Kim Eun-ah looked at Velvet with eyes that said she was not trustworthy, and Sumire also thought that Velvet was bluffing cutely, but no one believed in Velvet’s performance.
“So, Velvet recovers mana from Adela’s mother and father’s arms and spends it…”
Velvet nodded her head with a happy face. But how will Kim Eun-ah and Sumire, who were not there, recognize Velvet’s performance?
“I saw it too! When the little master puts his hands on the body of the mistress, suyayak! It lit up! All of a sudden…”
Only Orca, who had gone through the portal together to Ruin Castle, stood by Kim Eun-ah and defended her passionately.
“Once you wake up, come out immediately. It’s time to eat.”
“eye patch. Velvet has to stay in bed for another hour… the charge isn’t finished…”
“What kind of battery are you charging?”
Eventually, Kim Eun-ah, who decided to carry out the execution, grabbed the tail, and Velvet hugged the pillow and endured.
“Keu kyauu- eyepatch- it’s getting farther away!”
How does this power come from such a small body? In the end, Kim Eun-ah, exhausted, shifted her gaze to Sumire and asked for help.
However, Sumire only looked at Shin Yoo-seong and Adela with a firm expression that was somehow different from usual.
“…Sumire?”
Noticing something strange, Kim Eun-ah let go of the velvet’s tail. Then he called Sumire’s name again, but Sumire muttered to himself as if he hadn’t heard.
“…was it like that in the end?”
Although the appearance was the same, it was not the usual Sumire Kim Eun-ah knew. The way they looked, the way they talked, and the atmosphere were different.
“Louis, you are all the way… Yes, that’s right. Not even that. You are more than anyone else… ah…”
Sumire, who was muttering to herself, looked straight at Kim Eun-ah. Eunah Kim, as if seeing a cross-section of the deep sea just by looking into Sumire’s eyes, had the impression that it was ‘deep’ without her knowledge.
“This is the first time we have met like this. sorry. I can’t stand seeing a face that resembles an old friend.”
The one controlling Sumire’s body right now is the personality of Laplace, a fragment. It was very rare or the first time that she, who was nothing more than a piece, took control of her body in this way.
Laplace looked down at Adela, who was still unconscious and only breathing, with an expressionless face.
After carefully contemplating the words he was going to say, Laplace carefully rhymed his words.
“I have a story to tell you. But… all I can tell you is a fragment of the story, so don’t expect an answer.”
Laplace saw Yoosung Shin and Adela and Eunah Kim through Sumire’s body.
Laplace seemed to be hiding something. I was like a child who wanted to tell me the correct answer, but kept my mouth shut for the sake of the rules.
“hmm.”
Laplace let out a sigh.
Orca’s gaze focused on the story with Velvet, who opened her eyes wide, eventually approached Kim Eun-ah’s ear and whispered cautiously.
“…Witches are despicable and cruel beings, so you shouldn’t let your guard down for a second. Even if that’s… a colleague.”
The only thing Laplace can give Kim Eun-ah is this much hint.
“what? Suddenly, what the hell does that mean…”
Kim Eun-ah hurriedly called Laplace to the enigmatic story that left only embarrassment, but Sumire’s clear eyes turned round and then she tilted her head.
“…Huh, Eun-ah?”
Sumire was wondering why Kim Eun-ah was holding her shoulder.
“That’s…”
Kim Eun-ah, who was about to say something, looked at Velvet and Orca. But now that I think about it, I couldn’t have rushed to talk about it. The fact that Laplace relayed the story only to Kim Eun-ah, and not to Sumire, who possessed the fragment, was clear.
“Oh no! Just always thank you!”
In the end, Kim Eun-ah just passed the story with a shy smile, and Sumire, who didn’t know the truth, just smiled with Kim Eun-ah.
