[Forest of the Dead]
This was one of the dozen dungeons managed by Academy City, and the one that academy students were most reluctant to conquer.
“Sumire. Do you know why students hate the Forest of Souls?”
Shin Yu-seong asks with a smile. Sumire pursed her lips and shook her head. Shin Yu-seong said calmly.
“There are undead type monsters here.”
“Uh, undead!”
Sumire looked around the Forest of Souls with a very cowering expression, and her arm, which was holding Shinyuseong’s collar, trembled.
Shin Yooseong thought while looking at Sumire.
‘… … Even necromancers are afraid of the undead.’
The reason students hated undead monsters was simple. Most students who were not on active duty used low-level weapons that were not imbued with the tower’s magic.
Because of that, it was difficult to inflict a critical hit on an undead monster that offsets physical power.
Even monsters of the same difficulty have double the power, and if they do not have specific attributes like Kim Eun or Adella, it takes too much time to deal with them.
For Shin Yu-seong, who is a fighting type, this monster is the polar opposite. However, Shin Yu-seong found hope in Sumire to conquer the [Graveyard of Despair] dungeon.
In order to obtain the artifact, the Black Dragon Cannon, at the competition hosted by the Hunter Association, it was essential to check Sumire’s skills.
“Ugh… … . Well, this is my first time in a full-scale dungeon like this. You might fail the skill… … .”
An unpleasant damp smell and soggy ground that cracks every time you step on it.
Sumire, who was scared, walked through the forest close to Shinyuseong.
‘… … I’m sure they won’t tear it up again.’
When Shin Yooseong was suspicious of Sumire, a blue light flickered somewhere in the forest.
All right. Deep. Phew. All right.
The sound of something stepping on stones and dirt alternately.
“Uh, huh?”
Sumire’s eyes were twice as big as usual as she pointed toward the forest with her index finger.
“Mah, horse! “Skeletons!”
The correct name is Skeleton Horse.
A monster cursed by a horse and resurrected as a skeleton. The blue light I saw earlier was flickering in the skeleton horse’s eyes.
The skeleton horse whose entire body is made of bone shakes its head while looking at Sumire. A creepy sound rang out.
Dddddd-
Bone hitting bone.
The Skeleton Horse was a level 3 monster, and without Shinyuseong’s hair, it was an opponent that Sumire could never defeat with her skills.
‘The Death Knight is not riding. thank god.’
If the Skeleton Demon was carrying a Death Knight or a Level 4 boss, Dullahan, Shin Yusung planned to stop training with Sumire and give it his all. However, the opponent is only one skeleton horse.
“Sumire. “You are going to tame that skeleton horse.”
fault!
Shin Yu-seong hit the ground and rushed right into the skeleton horse’s body.
bang!
It was a simple headbutt, but Shin Yu-seong’s huge body swayed under Shin Yu-seong’s power, and Shin Yu-seong did not miss the opportunity.
Quang!
Shin Yu-seong, who leaned down, kicked the skeleton horse’s front leg in one go. The skeletal horse fell to the dirt floor, struggling to support her body.
Shin Yu-seong grabbed the skeletal horse’s neck and simply crushed it to subdue it.
“Now it’s your turn.”
Shin Yu-seong gave strength to the arm holding the skeleton horse’s neck every time it struggled. Sumire became more determined than usual upon seeing the skeleton horse like that.
‘… … I need to make you comfortable quickly.’
Knock! Crack!
Let the bones of the skeletal horse clash here and there, making a bloody sound. Sumire urgently approached the skeleton horse.
“Got a card!”
The skeletal horse ground its teeth and threatened Sumire, but Sumire was not afraid.
“… … “Is it painful?”
Sumire reached out to the skeleton horse’s head. Because it was so close, there was a risk of injury if the skeleton horse attacked. The skeleton horse did not bite Sumire.
“… … sorry. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
Sumire gently stroked the skeleton horse’s head. It was her first time using it against an undead monster after coming to Korea, but Sumire seemed to be used to it, and purple light emitted from her hand.
Characteristics and skills.
These two were the powers Hunter was born with.
I was able to know how to use it without having to learn it.
Sigh!
Sumire strokes the skeletal horse with her hand that emits purple light. Suddenly, the Skeleton Horse looked at Sumire with blue light shining in its empty eyes, as if communicating with her.
“are you okay. Tea, isn’t it nice?”
Sumire smiles brightly as she looks at the skeleton horse. Shin Yu-seong relaxed his grip on the skeleton’s neck as the skeleton horse became more docile.
Then the skeletal horse stood up and immediately lowered its head as if in submission to Sumire.
“Really? “Get in, get in?”
Perhaps thanks to Sumire’s skill, she was able to communicate with the skeleton horse. Sumire, who was in trouble, carefully climbed onto his back. The skeleton horse stood as if waiting for Sumire’s command.
He completely recognized Sumire as his master. Shin Yu-seong nodded his head while looking at Sumire and the Skeleton Demon.
‘also… … .’
As Shin Yu-seong thought, Sumire was clearly a hidden card that would easily conquer [Graveyard of Despair].
Sumire, riding the skeleton horse, glanced at Shinyuseong, who was lost in thought, and spoke cautiously.
“Hey… … “Si, Shin Yu-seong, would you like to ride too?”

Kang Yu-chan looked down through the office glass and smiled cheerfully.
“Now the competition is tomorrow. Lol.”
To Kang Yu-chan, the president of the association, the students were nothing more than sprouts. But he knew. It is the students growing up now who must take responsibility for the next generation by conquering dungeons, climbing towers, and fending off villains.
“I’m busy with work. It’s a shame that I can’t observe it in person. These first graders… … “There are a lot of outstanding students.”
Kang Yu-chan, who smiled, changed his expression and narrowed his eyes.
“Try to avoid accidents as much as possible. Especially students from foreign countries.”
The biggest problem with the dungeon strategy competition was the risk of casualties.
Death is something Hunter is familiar with.
Although the association was not responsible if there were casualties among the participants. Participating in the competition were students who were the elite of the elite in each country. If there were casualties among those VIPs, in the worst case scenario, there was a risk that it could turn into a diplomatic issue.
“I will take responsibility and manage it.”
Meilin answered as she placed her hand on her briefcase. Joo Him-chan, an active hunter who co-hosted the show, ignited his enthusiasm while watching Kang Yu-chan.
“Aren’t students the future of the hunter world? Don’t let the association’s reputation be ruined! “We will proceed with the competition without any mistakes!”
Kang Yu-chan looked at the two with a satisfied expression.

Choten Academy, said to be the best in Japan, is located in Tochigi Prefecture in the Kanto region. It occupied an enormous amount of land on a wide plain there.
King Gwon Yuwonhak.
Kang Yu-chan, president of the Hunter Association of Korea.
In order to catch up with Korea, which is leading the way in targeting the top, Japan did not spare any support in training hunters. As evidence, Choten Academy’s facilities were first-class.
In particular, the pride of Choten Academy was the diverse clubs that used the large grounds as a hideout.
However, even in Choten, where there are so many clubs, when asked which club is the most famous, the students’ answers were the same.
Hunter Department.
A unique club in Choten where all students are hunters and uses the name Hunter Club.
The students of the Hunter Department boasted the best skills. As evidence, the Hunter Club’s students consisted of three of the strongest first-year students in Japan.
The student who served as the head of the Hunter Club, the best of the best, was Seiji Kuroki.
“I’m finally leaving for Korea tomorrow.”
Seiji spoke in a low tone of Japanese. Until now, Seiji has won awards in several strategy competitions, but he has never been as passionate as he is now.
What stimulated Seiji like this was none other than the location where the strategy contest was held.
‘… … korea.’
After the outbreak where monsters poured in, countless dungeons and gates opened in Korea. A hopeless number compared to the population and size of the land mass.
Many countries predicted Korea’s destruction. However, Korea turned the crisis into an opportunity.
First, perhaps due to luck, Korea had a very large number of hunters who had awakened S-class characteristics compared to the population.
Second, we quickly systematized the dungeon strategy by dividing it into levels of difficulty, and classified and managed hunters according to their achievements to minimize injuries.
Third, the country stepped up to support hunters, and companies sponsored strong hunters as if they were running a team of athletes.
Fourth, numerous dungeons, organized systems, and sponsorship from countries and corporations. Thanks to all the conditions coming together, hunters called the strongest generation were born.
A virtuous cycle of various conditions.
In the end, Korea reached half of the tower the fastest among Eastern countries.
‘… … Even in preparation for national competition. I’ll have to check out your skills.’
Seiji opened his closed eyes.
As the long eyelashes open and pure white light pours in. The brutal scenery of the grassland was revealed.
“Kaharrr!!”
“Kiyooook!”
“Chihi profit!”
A tiger with red fur.
A huge monster with a beak made of steel.
A 5 meter long snake with venomous fluid.
Seiji muttered in a low voice to his two teammates.
“Start.”
Sakura, an archer, picked up her bow under Seiji’s instructions. A pleasant wind blew in the meadow, blowing her cherry-colored hair back.
Wedge! puck!
Sakura’s arrow pierced the snake’s head as quickly as a flash of light. It was the power of Sakura’s characteristics.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdr day today!
Let’s see the enemy running from the front at incredible speed. Isshin Kirishima, the swordsman, had his hand on the sheath of his sword.
In the end, the running red tiger opens its mouth right in front of you. Isshin drew his sword.
Less evil!
Feet with perfect posture.
Damn it!
Isshin’s swing like a half moon split the Red Tiger’s body in half. Even his brainless monster must have realized the disadvantage of the situation and tilted his head as he looked at the students of the Hunter Club.
“Kiyooook!”
In the end, the steel monster screams and runs away. Seiji, the leader, did not move. Instead, three shadows emerged from his body.
Shadows the same size as Seiji moved differently, swinging their swords and throwing throwing stars.
It took only 3 seconds to track and hunt the monster.
Seiji left the fallen monsters behind and shouted to his members.
“We are going to Korea today!”
Seiji’s deep eyes were burning with passionate enthusiasm.
