Episode 62
A great view overlooking the grounds of Gaon. Amy clicked her tongue as she looked at the poor room filled with the finest sofas and various fixtures.
“This is a luxury item worth 10 million won. That too is a luxury! All of them are top-notch and full of luxury goods…”
Shin Yoo-seong said calmly, looking at Amy, who was embarrassed.
“Eun-ah invested in it.”
“Ugh!? Huh… If it was Eunah’s scale, there would have been a lot of noise just preparing the equipment…” ”
That’s right, that’s about it. 400 million?”
The price of the fixtures he heard actually shocked Amy.
“Cheuk! 4 400 million!? Hehehe… I don’t think there’s such a luxurious place anywhere in the school, right?”
Let Amy stick out her tongue at the shocking amount. Shin Yooseong nodded.
“Was it too much? I want a refund even now…”
Shin Yoo-seong mumbled and fell into trouble. Amy shook her head violently.
“Hehe! no! no! Absolutely not! very! So good! Especially this massage chair!”
Amy was enjoying healing while sitting in the massage chair with a smile on her face. It was a strange fixture to have a massage chair in the student room, but there were not one or two items that Kim Eun-ah emphasized as essential.
“It’s great that a first year student has a private room. We are really the first.”
Amy melts away as she sits in the massage chair, making the sound of the wind blowing.
“…Uhhh, I like this place better than the dorms. no, much better I just want to live here.”
Sup- Drooling and infatuated with the massage chair, Amy sucked on the iced coffee next to her.
“…it’s crazy. This place… it must be heaven. ah! How about sitting down for the party leader?”
Amy, her eyes shining, gestured to the chair next to her. Shin Yooseong finally sat down.
Hard.
As Amy said, her body gradually melts to the rhythm of the massage chair. Quick-witted Amy even handed Shin Yoo-seong banana milk.
“Amy. You’re right. This is really…”
While Yoosung Shin was enjoying heaven, Sumire cooked food in the kitchen of the room.
“So that you can eat comfortably. I made it into a sandwich! It won’t taste as good as the chicken you ate at the time, but…”
Sumire took notice and brought the plate. Amy’s eyes widened when she saw the sandwich.
“Oh oh! Do you have tonkatsu in your sandwich? Did you make it by yourself in the kitchen? Really good!”
A slum full of luxury items.
Sitting in a massage chair and eating a sandwich with banana milk and pork cutlet was an incomparable healing experience for Shin Yoo-seong.
“after. But aren’t you nervous? Tomorrow is the selection round… First of all, that Adela is coming out!”
Undefeated record so far.
Adela was by far the strongest freshman among students with S-class characteristics. It is natural to be concerned. Amy muttered with a serious face as she lay on the massage chair.
“And I want to hear the news. Even the representative of Inno Academy said it was no joke! Ah hehe… Of course, I’ll throw a fist at the party leader.”
Amy looked at Shin Yoo-seong and shrugged her eyebrows up and down. As Amy said, the number of people in the selection match was strong because the talented people representing the academy participated. But Shin Yoosung didn’t care.
“It doesn’t matter who the opponent is.”
Shin Yuseong was determined to do his best no matter who the opponent was. I was thinking of pouring out all my abilities and proving my skills to everyone.
Coincidentally, Shin Yuseong now awakened to the 4th chapter of the God of War and was stronger than ever.
No matter what characteristics the opponent had, Shin Yoo-seong had his own weapon that he honed with Kwon Wang.
“…I’ll do my best.”
A serious story about Shin Yoo-seong sitting in a massage chair. Amy also looked at Yooseong Shin with a serious face.
“My voice trembles with vibration. Such a wonderful story…”
For some reason, Amy was admiring Shin Yoo-seong.
“As expected, why don’t you broadcast with me? With this look and that kind of character…”
Sumire, who was watching the conversation between the two, muttered softly as she picked up a sandwich.
“So that I don’t become another of Yoosung Shin’s….. I work harder…”
Then, Sumire smiles as she sees her empty ring finger.
“Huh…”
Each of them had a different way of healing, but for Shin Yoo-seong, it was a fruitful rest for the party members on the eve of the tournament.
* * *
The beautiful sea of El Nido shining with emeralds. As Adela walked leisurely across the sea, the surface her feet touched began to freeze.
It’s tsuzuzu.
Something gigantic that gradually rises to the surface from the depths of the sea, aiming for such Adela.
Kwaaaaang!!
A spray of water rose in front of Adela, and a fish the size of a whale leaped toward the sky.
Cheombeoooong!!
Go Soo’s true identity is a 4th grade boss. Taish.
A fish the size of a building escaped the dungeon and ate all kinds of marine life in the sea of El Nido in the Philippines, destroying the ecosystem.
Taishi, who had sunk in the sea, hid himself. An attack by a monster who doesn’t know when it will come.
Whoops!
Taishi jumped into the sea again, causing splashes. A situation where he could fall into the sea if swept away by the waves created by his enormous size.
gggg gggg!
Adela slowly reached out as she watched the approaching waves.
Saaak!
A cold chill spreads from Adela’s hands.
Wow!
In an instant, the waves froze.
No, the entire sea around it, including Taishi, was frozen like a glacier.
Psu! Psseuk!
Tyche struggled to escape, wagging his frozen tail, but it was a pointless resistance. Adela, who walked leisurely and slowly, put her hand on Taish’s head.
Great!
The attack ends there.
Taishi had turned into a huge block of ice. A very strong ability. By absorbing the artifact, Ice Crystal, Adela became much stronger than before.
This is why Adela does not accompany party members.
With a blank face, Adela looked up at the sky. The dazzling scenery with the sunlight pouring down was beautiful.
But Adela had no appreciation for the landscape.
Adela returns through the portal with an insensitive face. So Hae-jeong, the teacher in charge, was already waiting for Adela in the portal zone.
“6 minutes and 22 seconds… a new record?”
In spite of Minesweeper’s praise, Adela responded calmly.
“Because he was a level 4 boss.”
“A boss who is even tough on active duty… How can you say it so easily?”
That’s what he said, but even Sohae knew. Adela was not an opponent even for the 4th level boss, who would issue a warning to the entire city if it appeared.
However, Adela’s opponent in the selection match is Shin Yoo-seong. Minesweeper looked at Adela and asked with a bitter expression.
“…if you win again. Are you thinking of going back to Italy?”
Adela did not answer the minesweeper’s question. The reason Adela came to Korea was to meet a strong opponent and become stronger.
However, if Shin Yu-seong was defeated, Adela would no longer have an opponent in Korea.
“Maybe.”
At Adela’s calm reply, the minesweeper nodded.
“I see. … It wasn’t decided, but somehow it seemed like it would be.”
I felt sad, but I couldn’t help it. Minesweeper understood Adela’s thirst better than anyone else in Gaon.
Minesweeper rising from the seat.
She smiled as she handed Adela her entry pass for the tryouts.
“But that won’t happen.”
It was as if Shin Yoo-seong was assuring victory. At the minesweeper’s determined voice, Adela looked at her.
“…do you think I’m going to lose in the tryouts?”
Adela’s questions are not arrogant, but pure curiosity. Adela was amazing. No one, let alone the minesweeper, was ever sure of Adela’s defeat.
“He had something you didn’t have.”
This was the feeling Minesweeper felt as a hunter. Hunters do not succumb to defeat and become stronger only when they pass through countless trials.
You have to fall before you know how to get up. It was a short conversation, but Shin Yoo-seong could see that.
Mana refined better than anyone else and a body close to perfection. It could never have been created through normal training.
It was the result of harsh training beyond the limit.
‘maybe. The only thing that allowed me to endure that difficult process was…’
Goal.
I didn’t know why, but I saw a clear desire in Shin Yoo-seong’s eyes that So Hae-jeong saw. Adela, desensitized to everything, was an emotion she had never had.
“As the professor said…”
Adela put in her participation pass and walked towards the exit.
“I wish I could.”
* * *
Italy. outskirts of Florence.
In an old but historic bar, two muscular men were staring at each other as if they were going to kill each other.
However, the corners of their mouths soon turn into laughter. The silver-haired man roared with joy.
“Perché è così tardi!? (Why are you so late!?)”
“Haha! Somehow it happened The taste of raising disciples is so much better than I thought!”
The identity of the voice was Kwonwang, who is said to be the strongest hunter. The name of the man sitting across from him is Aden Ortensia. He answered King Kwon in fluent Korean, which became the official language.
“…No matter how much, I haven’t heard from you in over 10 years. What a pity.”
Aden smiled softly and poured brandy into the glass. Kwon Wang Yu Won-hak grabbed the brandy from the bottle and drank it.
Beep beep!
King Kwon wiped his lips and looked at Aden.
“More than that! You raised your granddaughter into quite the monster.”
“…Ah, is it Adela’s story?”
Aden smiled bitterly.
“Unfortunately… I never taught him anything. Even if you taught it, it’s just the basics. He was strong from birth.”
To Aden’s story, Yoo Won-hak listened with an interesting face while pouring a drink into an empty glass.
“Then, where would you like to hear your granddaughter boast?”
“Haha, could this friend be spying on you?”
“Ha ha ha! To the grandiose goal! I was just curious. Your granddaughter and my pupil! Which of the two is stronger!”
Let Yu Won-hak laugh loudly. Arden tilted his glass, drank the brandy gracefully, and spoke slowly.
“That child. he’s just a genius At the age of 5, he already used his traits freely.”
“That is very interesting. However, hunters with good characteristics were widely spread. If you’re making a fuss, that means you have more potential, right?”
Aden nodded at Yu Won-hak’s story.
“okay. As you said, hunters with strong characteristics are scattered all over the world. But doesn’t the application of characteristics mostly come from experience?”
“yes. The experience accumulated on active duty determines the victory or defeat of the Hunter at the critical moment.”
The King of Gwon acknowledged it, crossed his arms, and nodded. Aden answered seriously.
“Adela didn’t need that level of experience. It was as if I knew you from the moment I was born.”
“… you knew from the moment you were born?”
Yu Won-hak’s eyes were serious, but Aden spoke calmly.
“okay. Adela easily prepared for the pattern of the attack she had never seen before. Not even panicking.”
Aden, who was talking, smiled. There was a subtle pride in his smile.
“That was when I was 7 years old. Can you imagine?”
End of Aden’s story. King Kwon laughed.
“That is great. If it weren’t for his bluff, he’d be a pretty tricky opponent.”
“…No matter how much your student is, it’s a daunting task to become an opponent of Adela.”
Aden added his words with a serious face.
“That child was born to become a Hunter. Even I have never seen such talent.”
“Ha ha ha! It’s something you have to stick with to find out! You have to see for yourself how good Yooseong is…”
This time, Yoo Won-hak tries to praise Shin Yoo-seong. Aden stopped talking.
“No, you can tell without looking. Adela. The moment I saw him, I knew. That there is a genius above a genius.”
“No, our Yuseong is already a level 2 monster at the age of 9…”
Yu Won-hak tries to boast of being a disciple again. Arden, already engrossed in boasting about his granddaughter, interrupted again.
“Really. Our Adela…”
“No! This guy!”
In the end, Yoo Won-hak screams.
Still, the two Hunters, who met after a long time, drank for a long time, boasting of their granddaughter and disciple.
