In order to reach the pinnacle of Skyscraper Academy, Ryujin has made many rivals kneel before him.
Acceleration characteristics equivalent to S class.
Swordsmanship honed under the strongest teacher, Geomshin.
In addition, I devoted more than half of my day to training and improved myself. The proof was that he took first place in this competition.
‘… … ‘That’s not even funny.’
Nevertheless, Ryujin was not intoxicated with victory. Rather, he was feeling defeated as he looked at Shin Yoosung.
‘This… … .’
Although the record was overwhelmingly superior, the difficulty level of the two strategies was different. Unlike the Chinese team, which dealt with a werewolf with two people, the Korean team dealt with a lich and a dullahan, respectively. In addition, Shin Yu-seong’s performance in the final battle was close to solo.
‘It’s not my victory.’
Shin Yu-seong chose the difficult, but stronger path, and eventually proved it. Although his name would be plastered all over the news in China, Ryu Jin was not happy about this unpleasant victory.
‘… … I also want to become the best. ‘There’s still a long way to go.’
Coincidentally, the goal that the Chinese Hunter Association wanted from Ryujin was the same.
What China is trying to create is a flawless hunter who is stronger than his teacher, Swordsman.
Ryujin could still protect his precious things only with their support.
‘… … There is no next time.’
Ryujin turned around, leaving Shin Yuseong behind. Han Seol-ah, who was watching from the side, urgently called Ryu Jin.
“Hey, over there… … . “Thank you for earlier.”
Han Seol-ah was grateful that Ryu Jin saved her from the werewolf. Ryujin turned her head and looked down at Han Seol-ah. Han Seol-ah’s arm was wrapped in a bandage that appeared to be used as first aid.
Let Ryujin’s gaze rest on you. Han Seol-ah scratched her head, feeling awkward.
“Oh, this? Just get treatment in China. Because our schedule is tight… … .”
Ryujin looked down at Han Seol-ah’s arm with a cold gaze.
“It’s going to be a distraction.”
“Oh sorry… … .”
A dejected Han Seol-ah averts his gaze. Ryujin ignored Han Seol-ah and passed by.

The time when all attacks were completed.
After all the events prepared by the association, an artifact award ceremony was held according to the dungeon conquered.
[1st Place – Ryujin (Moonlight Sanctuary)]
[Reward Artifact – (Silver Moon Sword)]
A name and more details appear on the screen. Ryujin went up to the podium.
Kang Yu-chan, the president of the association, was smiling happily as he looked down at Ryu Jin.
“Seeing you reminds me of my colleague Geomshin. No, maybe it’s even more talent than that!”
“It is an honour.”
Ryu Jin bowed lightly and accepted the Eunwol Sword from Kang Yu-chan. The pure white blade, as if bathed in moonlight, exuded some mystery.
[2nd place – Adella (Astella Ice Castle)]
[Reward Artifact – (Perennial Ice Crystal)]
Adela, who was next, took the podium. Adela silently accepted the jewelry box containing her eternal ice crystal.
Permanent ice crystals are mysterious artifacts that contain cold energy. If Adela absorbed it as an elixir, her existing ice properties could be further strengthened.
Adela came down and the Japanese team went up to the podium. Soon, Shin Yu-seong’s turn came. Kang Yu-chan was very happy.
“I heard you succeeded in a double attack for the first time in this competition, right?”
“yes.”
“Giggles! Do you want to be strong even in competitions where you have to set records?”
Shin Yu-seong nods his head. Kang Yu-chan laughed.
“That’s what a cancer hunter should do! How common is it for students to have the opportunity to meet their boss? LOL!”
After meeting at the academy, Kang Yu-chan cared for Shin Yu-seong as if he were his own student.
“After the master, the disciple will take over the black dragon robe. Yu Won-hak’s emotions must be special!”
Heukryongpo was a beautiful gi made of black cloth with gold embroidery.
Mei-Lin, the manager of this competition, noticed Yu-Chan Kang’s gaze and spoke carefully.
“President of the Association. The treatment of dropped artifacts… … .”
“Well, the dungeon where the competition was held this time is owned by the association… … . The association cannot take the artifacts that the students obtained by defeating the boss. “Give that to our Yoosung.”
“yes. All right.”
Meilin nodded at Kang Yu-chan’s words. At least as long as Kang Yu-chan was around, the association was on Shin Yu-seong’s side.
“thank you.”
“okay. Please help brighten Korea’s status. I’ll be contacting you soon regarding the national competition. LOL!”
Let Kang Yu-chan leave.
Shin Yu-seong came down from the podium. Sumire was seen smiling brightly and waving in the crowd of students and officials.
Shin Yusung was Sumire’s partner in the exam, but this was the first time he smiled so brightly.
“Shin Yu-seong! Here you go!”
Shin Yooseong smiled and approached Sumire.
* * *
On the way back to the academy.
The Internet was abuzz with topics related to the competition.
[Shin Yoo-seong VS Adela! Who is Korea’s national competition representative?]
[Successful double attack with F-grade characteristics!]
[The student even obtained an artifact during the competition. The first case in the association… … .]
Sumire muttered softly as she checked the news on her old-fashioned cell phone.
“… … “I can’t believe we actually won a prize in the competition.”
Sumire still couldn’t believe the current reality. Sumire, who until recently had the worst ranking among first-year students, has now won the competition.

An unbelievable reality.
Sumire glanced from her phone to Shin Yusung.
“of course… … “It’s all thanks to Shin Yu-seong.”
Sumire thought about the battle with Lich. As planned, the undead were called in and the victory was achieved, but Sumire’s strategy was doomed to failure due to the lich’s artifact.
“If Shin Yu-seong hadn’t come, I would have ended up telling Rich… … .”
But Sumire’s worries were not true. Thanks to Sumire’s performance, Shin Yu-seong was able to shorten the attack time by bringing out the effect of the lich’s artifact early.
If your strategy was late and you cleared the dungeon in 5th place instead of 4th, you wouldn’t be able to take any artifacts even if you succeeded in a double strategy.
“No, Sumire. You shortened the strategy tremendously. … … So, your performance is great in this competition.”
“… … “Really?”
Sumire’s expression brightened, as if she was comforted by Shin Yu-seong’s calm analysis. Shin Yu-seong took something out of her pocket and held it out to Sumire.
“… … So that’s it. “You should keep this, Sumire.”
“Uh, yes? Hey! This, this!”
Sumire took a step back with a huge reaction. What was held in Shin Yu-seong’s hand was the skull ring that Rich had been wearing.
“Yeah, but this is an artifact… … .”
Sumire shook her head and tried to refuse. Shin Yu-seong pressed the button on his pocket.
“Look carefully, Sumire.”
Jiing!
Then, a hologram emitted from the band appeared in the air.
The ring’s options were suitable for Sumire, a necromancer. It was an artifact that Shin Yu-seong, who used fighting techniques, did not need at all.
“It’s something I don’t need.”
Moreover, Shin Yu-seong has already obtained the Black Dragon Cannon. Since they participated in the attack together, it was natural that Sumire would also receive a share of the artifacts.
“ruler. “Sumire.”
Let Shin Yu-seong place the ring on Sumire’s palm. Sumire looked up at Shinyuseong. Kind eyes and smile looking at you. Sumire looked at her ring with a blank face, wondering what she was thinking.
“The ring that Shin Yu-seong gave me… … .”
Sumire finally accepted the ring and muttered softly.
“Try putting it on.”
When Shin Yu-seong asks about that appearance. Sumire, who was startled, spoke hurriedly with her face and even her ears turning red.
“I, later… … Hey, hey! “S-sorry!”
Da da da da.
Sumire returned to the academy at a faster pace than usual, ahead of Shin Yusung.

A concentration room prepared in the west training room of the academy. In a quiet, soundproofed room, Adela opened the jewelry box.
Sigh!
White cold air emanated from the bead-like permanent ice crystal. At first glance, it looks like ordinary ice. The perennial ice cap had a chill that would freeze you to your bones.
Adela stared at the perennial ice crystal for a long time.
‘… … This is a perennial ice crystal.’
Usually, the Permanent Ice Crystal was an artifact used to give cold properties to swords or accessories.
However, for hunters with ice attribute characteristics or skills like Adela, there were other ways to use the Permanent Ice Crystal.
‘It’s cold.’
Adela picked up the perennial ice crystal with her fingers. Even for Adela, who deals with cold, the cold of the perennial ice cap was too cold.
‘If you put something like this in your mouth… … .’
Adela had to endure the extreme cold of the perennial ice cap with her bare body. It was a reckless challenge that would normally freeze everything inside the body.
Adela looked at the perennial ice crystal expressionlessly. Originally, Adela did not need the help of these artifacts.
She is the absolute strongest of Gaon Academy. Although she is an international student in Italy, she is said to be a hunter powerhouse, and she was the strongest student among all first-year students in Korea.
However, Shin Yu-seong made the undefeated Adela nervous.
I attempted a double strategy in the competition and eventually succeeded.
[If this man… … .]
Adela looked forward to seeing Shin Yu-seong’s strategy in the competition. He remembered the heart-pounding battle his grandfather had told him about when he was young. His heart was beating fast with a winning spirit he had never had before.
[For sure.]
Because he was so strong, Shin Yoo-seong’s appearance was a turning point in Adela’s cold and dull academy life.
So Adela had to prepare in the best condition for the best battle.
Tup.
Adela put an ice crystal in her mouth.
The perennial ice crystal, which was as hard as ice, disappeared without shape when it touched Adela’s tongue. What remained was the horribly cold cold contained in the perennial ice crystal.
Adela’s heart felt cold.
I felt like the blood in my body was frozen cold.
“… … “Suck.”
Adela frowned and held her breath. She had to spread the current cold energy through her body to absorb the effects of the artifact and strengthen her characteristics and skills.
Adela closed her eyes.
The cold of the perennial ice crystal throbbed her body and caused unimaginable pain, but Adela did not even make a sound.
I just stayed quiet and focused.
Sigh!
An hour passed like that.
Adela, who had been in meditation, slowly opened her eyes as if waking up from sleep. White frost was falling around Adela. Adella muttered softly in the winter-stained landscape.
“… … cold.”
Adela wrapped her arms around herself and trembled. The Queen of Winter was more prone to coldness than she looked.
