Metro City’s mega stadium.
Ddddddddd!!
The structure on the ceiling closed with a loud noise. In the dark stadium, lights turned on one by one, illuminating the stage.
Pot! Pot! Pot!
When the hosts and commentators were revealed. Cheers began to pour from the audience.
“hello! This is Yuhanna! “The stadium is already buzzing with anticipation for the tryouts!”
Yuhanna proceeded skillfully and then glanced at Meilin.
“… … “This is Maylin, who will be the commentator.”
Meilin answered with an expression that said she couldn’t do anything. Although she hated receiving public attention like this, Meilin was one of the most famous hunters in the association and among hunters.
‘If it weren’t for the association president’s request!’
[Cool & Beauty! goddess! Maylin!]
[Without wings… Fairy of Academy City★]
Thanks to this, they even got a placard reminiscent of an idol. Mei-Lin frowned and openly showed her displeasure, but her fans cheered her when she was caught on camera.
“… … Ugh!”
Meilin’s face turned red with embarrassment and she turned her head. Yuhanna continued her progress naturally.
“Now then, before we introduce the students and announce the results of the preliminary voting! “I will explain the rules of the selection competition and instructions on the broadcast!”
Pot!
As soon as Yuhanna finished speaking, detailed information appeared on the screen.
[Rules and instructions]
1. Participants are allowed to use any strategy.
2. If you are eliminated due to accumulated damage, you will be kicked out of the portal.
3. The portal is connected to a virtual space made of mana. (The students’ injuries are not real, so don’t worry!★)
4. You can carry up to 3 artifacts and hunter supplies in your pocket.
5. Supporter’s messages will be censored by the organizer. (Please do so without affecting the fairness of the competition!)
“And what if! What if you want to see the students cheering you on? “You can watch it not on the official broadcast, but on the supporters’ personal broadcast!”
The personal broadcast that Yoo Han-na was talking about was the role of broadcasting rights that Amy had longed for.
It is natural that the more popular students are supported, the higher the viewership will be. In that sense, Shin Yu-seong, along with Adela, was a student that all broadcasters coveted.
“ruler! then! Now, we will reveal the results of the early voting you have been waiting for!”
1st place – Adela Ortensia (43%)
2nd place – Shin Yu-seong (39%)
3rd place – Na Ji-hye (7%)
Overwhelming difference.
The results of the vote were not meaningful because the selection process had not yet started, but Shin Yu-seong and Adela were extremely popular.
“As expected, first and second place are students Adela and Shin Yu-seong from Gaon! Gaon is famous for its prestigious academy. And third place is Inno Academy’s Na Ji-hye!”
Once Yuhanna’s explanation was over. She slowly opened her mouth to Meilin.
“… … Early voting is only early voting. Whether these students can make it to the finals is another matter.”
Although she said so, Meilin had already made up her mind on Shin Yu-seong and Adella as candidates for the finals.
‘If you think about your skills. The final will ultimately be a battle between the two.’
The preceding statement is just a matter of courtesy.
Yu Hanna skillfully and quickly asked Mei Lin’s story.
“Yes! Even if you don’t make it to the rankings, no one can know what the competition will be like and the results of the final vote! “Never give up!”
As soon as the two explained, all the lights came on brightly and the hidden faces of the students were revealed in the stadium.
King Kwon’s disciple Shin Yu-seong.
Adela is the top student in Gaon’s grade.
The students, including Inno Academy’s Na Ji-hye, were neatly lined up according to the results of the preliminary voting.
Shin Yu-seong fell into thought as he looked at the tens of thousands of spectators crowded together.
‘… … This is the selection contest.’
Shin Yu-seong had performed outstandingly in the association’s competitions and extracurricular activities, but the scale of the selection competition was different from what he had experienced so far.
A national event enjoyed by all citizens of Korea.
It was an opportunity to select the one party leader who would represent the country and prove Korea’s national power to the world.
‘… … I’m sure Master is watching me too.’
King Kwon emphasized the importance of national competition more than anyone else. National competitions are a good place to meet strong players from other countries and improve your skills. It was an opportunity that should not be missed by Shin Yu-seong, who wanted to become the strongest.
‘Just in case you get eliminated from the selection competition. I don’t have the honor to see you, Master.’
Thinking of that, Shin Yu-seong smiled leisurely. Considering his own goals, the current competition was just the beginning.
– Wow!
Shin Yu-seong’s smile was captured on screen. Cheers poured out from the audience again. The host, Yoo Han-na, was looking at the scene happily.
‘As expected, it’s a hot topic.’
As proof of this, the viewership ratings have been rising steadily since the beginning. The selection competition in Korea, known as the home of hunters, attracted tremendous interest from overseas.
Of course, the participants who caught everyone’s attention were Adela and Shin Yu-seong.
Adela, undefeated.
King Kwon’s disciple. Shin Yu-seong.
Although the two were only students, they had tremendous name value.
‘It’s going to be fun no matter which side wins. of course… … It would be better for someone from Korea to win the picture.’
After completing the calculations in her head, Yu Han-na laughed excitedly and shouted loudly.
“ruler! “Then let’s start the selection process now!”
Amid everyone’s cheers, the students began entering the portal one by one.

A neatly maintained desk.
President-elect Shin Ha-yoon was watching the video of the selection match with a relaxed posture with his arms crossed.
“… … “Hmm.”
Shin Hayun narrows her eyes and smiles, wondering what makes her feel so good. Lee Hyuk was unfamiliar with seeing Shin Hayun like that.
“Why are you showing this much interest in a first year student? “It’s my first time seeing you.”
Even in Lee Hyuk’s story, Shin Ha-yoon fixed her eyes on Shin Yu-seong on the screen.
“Oh, we’ve known each other for a long time.”
Lee Hyuk could not recall the connection between Shin Yoo-seong, who was from an orphanage, and Shin Ha-yoon, who was from the Shino family.
At most, the last names are the same.
Shin Hayun muttered softly in her usual cold voice.
“… … “I’m curious.”
“winner?”
“no.”
A really funny situation.
Shin Hayun had a hard time holding back her laughter.
“I don’t know what it is, but you look happy.”
At Lee Hyuk’s words, Shin Hayoon finally checked the corners of her mouth reflected in the mirror.
“ah.”
Without realizing it, the corners of Shin Hayun’s mouth turned up. Shin Hayun bit her lip slightly and she smiled brightly again.
“I guess I was expecting too much.”
It wasn’t a winner’s story.
The proud head of the Sinnoh family. It was a story about Shin Hayoon’s own father.
‘… … Will the head of the family admit that his eyes were wrong?’
If Shin Yoo-seong wins this selection, the members of the Shino family will naturally have doubts about the qualifications of the head of the family.
The point is that he threw away a gem that could have been chosen as Korea’s representative.
The point is that he didn’t have the skills to polish that gemstone like a king.
‘If so. ‘I’m sure someone will stumble by mentioning Shin Yu-seong.’
Even though it was his father’s job and his family’s job, Shin Hayun just enjoyed it. Lee Hyuk looked at Shin Hayun and nodded his head without knowing the situation.
“I heard about their activities at first glance. “I’m looking forward to it too.”
“… … okay? Well then, great. Shall we watch it together today?”
After saying that, Shin Hayun put away the documents. Lee Hyuk sighed, saying there was nothing he could do.
“good. Well then, we have the next schedule, so just for about 2 hours… … .”
“good.”
Shin Hayun answered willingly.
For Shin Hayun, who had already become stronger than the professors, it was enough time to gauge Shin Yuseong’s skills.

Lush trees.
A green forest with small animals running around.
Shin Yu-seong, who entered the portal, arrived at an unknown mountain.
‘… … ‘Is this all fake?’
Five senses that are identical to reality, from smells to sounds. However, the place where Shin Yu-seong existed was a virtual space created with mana to hold a match.
Thanks to this, even if you were fatally injured, you were only expelled through the portal and there were no injuries in reality.
‘It’s fascinating.’
While Shin Yu-seong was admiring the Hunter Association’s technological prowess, a blue hologram unfolded from his pocket.
[We will now begin providing information on the selection process.]
[Selected map – Sarnia Island]
[Starting location – Sarnia Mountain]
[Participants start in a random location and must use all means to survive until they are the last two standing.]
“Good.”
Shin Yu-seong also already learned the explanation about the selection process through Amy. Fortunately, Sarnia Island was one of the maps that Shin Yu-seong had studied in advance.
Pot!
[Amy♥:Oh! Sarnia! It’s so good! I remember almost all the features of this map! ٩(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و]
[Amy♥: Hmm, and if the starting place is a mountain! I usually take the view along the ridge.]
The more happy things are shared, the happier they are.
Amy, who was watching, also got excited and sent a message.
“No, I have an idea.”
However, Shin Yu-seong did not need Amy’s strategy. Shin Yu-seong quickly bent down and placed his hands on the dirt. The next trait pushed his concentration to its limit.
– Jeopuk. Jerk.
Vibration felt through fingertips.
– “Oh, where is the stream?”
– “It’s definitely the lower part of here, right?”
Then, a subtle sound came through my ears as if right next to me.
‘Are you looking for a stream?’
I don’t know the identity, but the opponent’s actions were also one of the standard strategies. If you move through shallow water, your traces will be erased and it will be difficult for opponents to track you.
In particular, on the island of Sarnia, all streams lead to villages. In other words, there was the advantage of being able to reach the village without getting lost.
‘If you think about the direction… … .’
Shin Yu-seong predicted the opponent’s movement path and hid behind a suitable tree. Sure enough, the opponent was walking towards the tree through the bushes.
“Ugh, how can even the bugs here be realistic? It also smells like animal poop… … .”
Very complacent behavior.
The opponent was complaining loudly to the supporter. Such behavior made it easy for one’s location to be discovered.
‘A man. The number is one.’
As the sound got closer and closer, Shin Yu-seong held his breath and disappeared. Then when the other person passes by you.
“I’m just in good form. Because it’s a broadcast, there are a lot of people… … “Wow!”
He struck the other person’s neck with the blade of his hand.
Slurp!
The poor male student immediately lost consciousness due to Shin Yu-seong’s clean blow. In response, the pocket emitted a hologram.
[Yun Moon-bok faints at Wired Academy.]
[Judged as non-recoverable. You will be disqualified.]
[There are 163 people remaining.]
Saaaa!
As the hologram disappeared.
The boy who fainted turned into blue fragments and scattered like dust.
‘Is this the treatment of those who drop out?’
Shin Yu-seong looks at the scene in amazement. Likewise, Amy was amazed at Shin Yu-sung’s skills.
[Amy♥: Party leader… ? The first person eliminated in less than a minute… How did you do it… ?]
Amy feels this again.
Shin Yu-seong was stronger than common sense.
