Chapter 159
Episode 159
The room with the lights off.
Light leaking from multiple monitors.
Tadak! Tadadadak!
Cheat typed something at an invisible speed.
[Success!]
[…Loding 11%]
[55%]
[100%]
[Location: Italy]
[Grotte di Castellana]
A member of the villain group Rebellion.
Among them, it was so simple to check the location of the tracking device for cheats who are good at hacking.
“Hmm Italian?”
round and round
Cheats playfully turned the chair he was sitting on.
“I’m dizzy~”
Tuk.
Chloe grabbed Chet by the shoulder and spoke in a serious voice.
“Don’t play around. It is important.”
“I am serious now. …maybe?”
ride it!
Cheat started tracking again with a loud keyboard sound.
Then, while staring at the bright light on the screen, the cheat reveals sharp teeth like a shark.
“Huh~ But the captain is really amazing~ I think lizards really come out~?”
Castellana Cave, Italy.
The mana that filled the atmosphere there was not in its usual form.
“Around here. Overall, the mana density is very high. The forest speed I saw last time was on the high side, 150 times that?”
“…Right.”
Even though it didn’t appear, it made the mana density around it 150 times. As expected, it was clear that the dungeon materialized in Castellana Cave belonged to an existence called the “master of mana.”
“But this…”
However, even though the prediction was correct, Cheats licked his lips and zoomed in on the screen.
“Did the Association guys smell it too?”
What you see on the screen are the 6th level Italian hunters, including Kang Yoo-chan, the president of the Korean association. If these prominent hunters gathered in one place, there was only one reason.
“…Is it a raid?”
Most of the 7th level bosses, including Laplace, who was called the ‘Witch of Disaster’, have nicknames.
The nickname attached to the 7th grade boss who will soon descend on Italy is ‘The King’s servant’.
A lofty existence that reigns above all races. It was a respect for the servant of transcendence called the master of mana.
“It is shocking that a level 7 dungeon materializes in the same era these days… A collaboration between Korea and Italy? I thought we would have a bowl fight. Times have changed. Everyone is so cool~ So cool~”
Cheet muttered in a sarcastic tone, but Claw had a clue.
‘…Silver Wind Aden. Did he use his hand?’
If you think of Aden’s colleagues, it wasn’t difficult to defeat the 7th grade boss. Rebellion is also known for terrorism on a national level, but the ‘Legends of the Tower’, including King Kwon, were opponents that even Claw wanted to avoid.
“As expected… is there any other way?”
* * *
Attack the 20th floor of the tower.
First grade flowers. evaluation test.
Semi-final match of national competition.
Shin Yoo-seong’s schedule before finishing his freshman year was like a mountain.
In addition, if Shin Yoo-seong’s performance so far was combined, it could be seen as an achievement that no other hunter had achieved in a year.
‘…but the most deadline is the evaluation test.’
Shin Yoo-seong is careful and does his best in everything, but he had no intention of spending time on the test.
Shin Yoo-seong and the party members were too strong to prepare for the school exam now.
An existence that destroys the ecosystem like a giant snakehead put into a small pond.
Each one has the ability to change the game of the test. Of course, Shin Yoo-seong’s skills are out of the question.
‘As expected, the problem now is the tower and the national competition.’
The tower was an unknown structure with individual ecosystems for each floor.
Hunters call it the word ‘top’, but in reality, it is a sub-space where you don’t know what kind of world will unfold.
Climbing such a tower 20 floors meant that you had to successfully complete 20 reckless adventures that might come out of a certain area.
‘The most important of these. The 10th and 20th floors.’
The 10th floor in the tower was a floor commonly referred to as the boss stage.
A place that boasts quests of a different level of difficulty than the previous floors.
‘I need to guess the team play before I get to the 10th floor.’
The strength of the party did not end with the strength of each party member.
The true nature of a party is that 3 people create synergy with 10 people. There was no point in making a party if each of them moved without being in harmony with each other.
‘Everyone must learn a lot from this climb.’
The last thing left was the semi-finals of the national competition. It was the rules of the semi-finals that made Yooseong Shin worry. So far, they have maintained a 1-1 match in the form of a nation-versus-nation, but not from the semifinals.
The semi-final is a survival survival event in which the surviving teams gather together.
It was unknown what kind of politics and strategies would unfold within it.
‘Right now, the biggest threat… is Europe.’
Spain.
germany.
And from Europe, including Italy, where Adela belongs, three teams survived until the semifinals.
Japan was eliminated, Korea and China.
It was an encouraging achievement compared to an East Asian country with only two teams remaining.
In particular, East Asia, a hunter powerhouse, is a target for European countries to check.
‘…There will surely be a movement to join forces in Europe, where there are a lot of numbers.’
Of course, what Shin Yuseong thinks is the worst case scenario. Such an operation required an overwhelming leader to bring each party together.
If it had not been for such a leader, Shin Yoo-seong would not have kept Europe in check. Now the story is different.
Italy in Europe now.
‘There is Adela.’
lazy genius.
A girl who maintained first place in her grade in Korea, a strong country for hunters, even though she had never practiced cutting bones.
Adela Ortensia.
But recently, Adela has changed.
He was devoting all his time to training in order to beat his rival, Shin Yoo-seong.
The indolent genius found the reason for the effort.
‘If European teams really get their hands on it, Adela will be a very tricky opponent.’
There are other teams that participated, but Shin Yoo-seong was confident that the games would be played mainly in Europe and East Asia.
‘If that happens…’
Shin Yuseong smiled leisurely as usual. In order to prepare for the opponent’s unexpected strategy, Shin Yuseong held a card that he hadn’t shown yet.
* * *
Grumpiness.
Class S was filled with loud noises from students.
“What does this mean?”
“A mix of upper and lower classes?”
“Who are you thinking? Didn’t all final exams go the same way as last year?”
Judging from the name and the division into ‘higher’ and ‘lower’, in fact, the classification of characteristics was a kind of status in the academy. The association’s theory is that even if combat power or grades are low, S-class and other advanced attributes can contribute much to the hunter world with their speciality.
But at least in Gaon, at the academy, that formula was destroyed.
Angela and Sebastian. Lee Si-woo blew away 2 party members from the Clock Tower Academy by himself.
Sumire has awakened as a true necromancer by succeeding in the ministry of Dyurahan and Succubus.
Even Shin Yoo-seong, who is the strongest freshman and is called an irregular.
As long as there are students who are stronger than class S in class F, the classification of Gaon Academy has become meaningless.
“If you look at how only our first year exam was applied like this. It’s obvious who it is for, isn’t it?”
Let Lee Chae-hyun speak with a disapproving expression. Min Sung-hyuk nodded.
“yes. But I don’t want the hierarchy between the upper class and the lower class to collapse in this way.”
Even Min Seong-hyeok, who became class president of S class, gave a negative evaluation. One of the female students quickly approached Min Seong-hyuk.
“Ha I mean! I’d rather only raise a few of the kids in class F. What is this?”
The moment the female student complained like a quick-fire, a student from Class S shouted in the hallway.
“hey! They said the list was posted on the bulletin board!”
Only then did Lee Chae-hyeon and Min Seong-hyeok turn on their cell phones and check the list with gloomy faces.
[Partner member list]
No.12 [Min Sung-hyuk] [Lee Chae-hyun] [Shin Yoo-seong]
Min Sung-hyuk and Lee Chae-hyun looked at each other as if they had made a promise. The situation where he became a partner with Shin Yoo-seong, who is considered the strongest among freshmen as well as in his grade.
“thinking about it. The professors must have had an idea and changed the rules. What we talk about is…”
Min Seong-hyuk let’s get lucky.
“Okay, that seems to be overstepping the line. Should I just go this time?”
Lee Chae-hyun received the words swiftly.
A female student with a bewildered face at the sudden change in attitude of the two. Min Seong-hyuk and Lee Chae-hyun avoided looking at each other, perhaps embarrassed.
