We took the portal gate and arrived at a port in Gangwon-do.
Since the destination of the special group training was an uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, they had to travel by boat.
Of course, if it was a normal island close to the land, it would have been easy to move by installing a portal gate, but on the ‘Island of Fog’, which was the background for this special group training, a portal gate was not installed because it was too far from the land.
“Everyone can get on the boat.”
We got on the boat.
Some students are excited to go on a boat.
He had an excited expression on his face.
Because the ship is powered by horsepower, the travel time will not be very long. However, as the distance is long, it will take at least an hour to move.
The ship continued to move.
Everyone relaxed on the boat, chatting or sleeping.
But I was alone, leaning on the railing on the deck and breathing the sea air.
“It’s cool.”
I looked blankly at the blue waves of light.
As I am thinking about this, I am reminded of the sea monster extermination test, which is one of the tests that will be held in Najeung.
Monsters exist not only on land but also in the sea. A representative example is the disaster-level sea monster, ‘Kraken’.
Cruas, the evil dragon who drove Lee Seo-jun to death before returning, can be said to be a similar case to this.
The hidden dangers in this world are not limited to people like Majin and Jaun.
Considering the unknown monsters that are like disaster-level monsters, I wonder if I will continue to do so.
Will I be able to get through it well?
“Ugh.”
I took a deep breath and looked at the distant horizon again.
An island in the distance gradually began to appear.
At the end of it, I could see a very slight gray fog. It was ‘Island of Fog’, the training location for this special class.
I looked up at the sky above the Island of Fog.
The sky was also a soft gray color and covered with clouds.
This was a foreshadowing of future developments.
Others might not pay much attention to it, but I, who knew the content of the original work to some extent, knew what meaning each of these small elements contained.
At that time, I felt a sign of presence somewhere on the deck. I heard small footsteps and someone stumbled and leaned on the railing next to me.
“eww… … Ugh.”
Long brown hair falling down as he lowered his head.
The woman shook her body and let out a painful breath.
“Choi Seo-yoon.”
“Seo, senior. Here… … Ugh.”
I walked up to her and knocked on her door without saying a word.
“Im here.”
After traveling for about an hour, we were able to set foot on land.
Huge beach.
The students looked excited as if they had come to a resort to have fun.
Looking at it this way, they are all teenage students.
“Thank you, senior. “Thanks to you, I survived.”
Seoyoon Choi approached me with wide eyes and said.
I patted his back on the boat earlier and gave him some motion sickness medicine that I had packed in the subspace beforehand, and he seems to be feeling better now.
“Are you okay now?”
“Yes, I have improved a lot thanks to you.”
“I’m glad.”
“lol.”
Choi Seo-yoon laughed quietly.
“ruler! Now we will move to our accommodation. Everyone, please follow me.
all.”
After walking for about 10 minutes following Park Jeong-wan, we arrived at a three-story wooden villa.
There were three identical villas next to each other, like triplets, and they were dusty as if they had not been used for a long time.
“Stay here for a day?”
“why? “This isn’t that bad.”
“But still. “There was a lot of dust there.”
“Is there a bed?”
Park Jeong-wan said as there was a commotion among the students.
“Okay, then you can go inside and unpack. It will take approximately 20 minutes. You can rest freely during this time and then gather back here.”
About 20 people were divided into three villas. One for men, one for women, and one for mixed use.
I entered the mixed dormitory, but after some discussion, it was decided that the second floor would be used by female students and the third floor by male students.
Take a short break and go back to the villa
Gathered.
“Now, I will briefly explain today’s training schedule and what kind of training we will be doing. ah! Before that, I will first tell you about important things that must be observed.”
There was tension on the students’ faces when they heard that it was an important matter that must be observed.
“As you all know, the Island of Fog is named after the ‘Fog of Nightmare,’ a magical disaster that spread across the center of the island.”
To what extent did students respond to Park Jeong-wan’s words?
He nodded, saying he knew.
“You’ve probably all heard the rumors and know what power the Nightmare Fog has. As the name Nightmare suggests, it is said that those who touch the fog will see the most terrible nightmares.”
The students looked nervous at those words.

“So you should never approach the fog. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
Park Jeong-wan smiled at the energetic answers of several students.
“great. Then explain the schedule.
I’ll do it. The current time is 2 PM. We will conduct physical training and magic enemy training from now until approximately 6 o’clock. Dinner after 6 o’clock. And at 8 o’clock, nighttime monster hunting training begins.”
The most important event in this episode of Island of Fog is the nighttime monster hunting training at 8 o’clock.
There are no major incidents before then, so it will be okay to relax.
“Then let’s start training!”
“Huh! “Huh!”
I thought it would be okay to relax, but training at 2 o’clock was more painful than I expected.
Everyone looked like they were on the verge of fainting due to the non-stop training, and some students who lacked stamina actually fainted.
“Whoa.”
Still, I was able to endure to some extent because I was armed with various stamina recovery abilities.
I’ve been doing this kind of extreme training consistently for a long time, and I’ve gotten used to it to some extent.
Park Jeong-wan looked at me several times, as if he was amazed at me.
Of course, Park Jeong-wan wasn’t the only one who looked at me with wonder.
Several reinforcement magicians who were training with me looked at me with tired eyes. The expression on his face is as if he were wondering why a magician from the manifestation world has such stamina.
Time passed and it was 6 PM.
The long, long training for the first enemy is over.
The sky had already turned red and it was now dinner time.
“and! “It’s meat!”
Grumbling. A fire rose.
Students using flame-type magic burned firewood.
The meat that Park Jeong-wan had prepared in advance was placed on the iron plate on top. Since I was full of hunger right after training, the smell of meat felt sweeter than usual.
“Seniors! I saw you doing physical training earlier! No matter how much you run, you never get tired. Is there a secret? Or even a special exercise routine?”
Jeon Min-gi, who was eating on the same grill as me, asked with sparkling eyes.
In the original, I was a big fan of Lee Seo-jun, but why are you doing this to me, leaving Lee Seo-jun alone?
I secretly saw Seojun Lee and Youngjun Shin eating meat on a different grill. There was rice piled up like a mountain in the bowl, and it felt like I was watching some kind of food fight.
“Uh, senior?”
“Oh sorry. “What did you ask?”
“I asked about the secret to not getting tired.
all.”
“That’s no big deal. “You just have to train to the limit every day.”
As always, I made it up roughly. But it wasn’t wrong either.
But Jeon Min-ki responded to my words, ‘I see…’ … I muttered, lost in thought alone. He is a unique guy because he is serious in many ways.
“Aren’t you eating?”
I spoke to Choi Seo-yoon, who was sitting quietly in front of me. Seoyoon Choi looked at me and smiled.
“Because I like to eat it well-cooked.”
“… … “Is that so?”
“Senior, don’t you eat it?”
“I have to eat now.”
I picked up a piece of meat and put it in my mouth.
It’s just regular meat, but maybe because it’s right after training, the juicy juice inside feels sweeter than anything else in the world.
lost.
Ah, I’m craving a drink.
Meal time of approximately 1 hour.
And after an extra hour of rest, the night monster hunting began at 8 PM.
There are two people in each group.
How many monsters have you hunted? And it is said that special prizes are given up to 5th place depending on how strong the monsters are hunted.
Perhaps that’s why Choi Seo-yoon, who is in the same group as me, is full of motivation.
There are already 6 monsters that have been hunted.
“Let’s go there!”
Choi Seo-yoon took the lead and went deep into the center of the island.
Due to the nature of the monster field, the deeper it is, the higher the chance of encountering stronger monsters.
Of course, I had to be careful in entering because I had to avoid the ‘Nightmare Fog’ in the center of this island.
“Oh, why are you so slow? “If anything, I have to be in the top five.”
“Hey, that doesn’t mean ranking.”
“It’s not that it has any meaning. “I know what kind of product will be at stake.”
Unfortunately, the number of places and prizes are really meaningless in this training.
Because something unexpected will happen today and training will be interrupted.
By the way, this episode was supposed to involve Lee Seo-jun and Choi Seo-yoon as a team, but I’m not sure what will happen since I got involved.
“Seniors’?”
While I was lost in idle thoughts, Seo-yoon Choi called me. When I turned her head, she was staring intently at my face.
“Uh, why?”
“no. You suddenly felt dazed. “I was just thinking about something.”
Hwiiing.
At that moment, a strong wind passed us by. Choi Seo-yoon wrapped her arms around her, probably feeling a little cold.
“Ugh, the wind is getting strangely stronger. “Maybe it’s because it’s night.”
I lifted one hand and felt the wind. The wind was definitely stronger than before.
When I looked up at the sky, there were a lot more clouds than before.
It looks like it’s starting to start now.
Tuk-tuk.
Water drops fell from the sky.
“..rain?”
It started to rain.
The amount of rain gradually increased rapidly, and before we knew it, heavy rain was pouring down like a shower.
I spoke to Choi Seo-yoon, who was embarrassed by the sudden change in weather.
“Let’s avoid the rain first.”
“yes!”
I led Choi Seo-yoon and ran somewhere.
I heard the monster’s cries here and there, which made me feel nervous, but I didn’t care and kept running.
The place we arrived was under a huge tree somewhere on the island. It was a place I had seen in passing earlier.
Hehehe!
The wind gradually became stronger. A nearby tree was unable to withstand the force of the wind and suddenly collapsed.
“… … “Is it a typhoon?”
Choi Seo-yoon muttered to herself.
“that’s right. “It’s a typhoon.”
“Why is there a typhoon today… …
Hehehe.
A strong wind blew again. The rain gradually became heavier and fog began to creep into the forest.
The ‘Nightmare Fog’ in the center of the island was swept away by the typhoon and spread widely.
“uh? “Fog?”
Choi Seo-yoon, who realized the seriousness of this situation, muttered quietly.
The evil that I told you never to get close to
Because the fog of dreams was quickly approaching us.
“Seo, senior. “Shouldn’t this be avoided?!”
Seoyoon Choi shouted to me in an urgent voice. But it was already too late.
The fog was spreading so fast that it was impossible to escape. Soon the fog of nightmares will descend upon us.
In the original, the fog of nightmares engulfed 80% of the island.
Now all I have to do is prepare her mind in advance for what will happen next.
It’s about helping you do it.
Whiiiiing!
In the strong wind and rain, I looked into Choi Seo-yoon’s eyes.
“Choi Seo-yoon. “Listen carefully.”
Choi Seo-yoon looked up at me with a questioning look on her face as the call became more serious.
“The fog will soon cover us. And the fog will show you your worst nightmares.”
“……yes?”
“No matter what nightmares come, don’t be weak-hearted. Close your eyes tightly and use a magic shot
“You just have to fly it properly.”
This nightmare fog was a type of ‘natural magic disaster’, but it was not a simple magic disaster.
There was a hidden secret.
This fog itself is part of the ‘field dungeon’.
The fog of nightmares was the first condition to enter the field dungeon on this island.
Other people would have run away in fear after experiencing a nightmare, but after seeing the events of the original story, I realized that I had to overcome this foggy nightmare and enter the hidden dungeon.
I knew it was going to happen.
So I didn’t avoid the fog even though I knew it would hit us.
To enter the Nightmare Fog Field Dungeon.
Choi Seo-yoon stared into my eyes and nodded with stronger eyes.
“all right.”
“okay. “See you later.”
At the same time, fog covered us.
My vision has changed. Complete darkness with nothing visible.
The fog of nightmares makes visible the greatest fears a person has in his or her heart.
To Lee Seo-jun, it is Jin Cheon-woo. For Yuara, it’s Zaun. Victims who were harmed by the Choi family appeared to Choi Seo-yoon.
What kind of nightmare will appear to me?
Although I felt nervous for no reason, I felt a little dazed, perhaps due to the influence of mental magic.
Still, one of my adaptive traits was mental magic resistance, so I was able to maintain my sanity to some extent.
At that time, someone walked in the dark.
The author is probably the one I’m afraid of.
What will come out?
And the moment I confirmed that something.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. There was a completely unexpected person standing there.
“… … Seojun Lee?”
“Kim Seon-woo.”
Seojun Lee called me.
Why is he here?
…no. This is not the real Seojun Lee. This is my fear that the fog of nightmares shows.
But a question arose.
I’m not afraid of Lee Seo-jun?
No, when I think about it, that’s not the problem.
To get out of the fog of nightmares, you must fight your nightmares and win.
That means I have to compete with Seojun Lee’s welcome.
“Use it.”
Fighting against Lee Seo-jun’s illusion. What kind of ridiculous difficulty level is this? … .
Of course, since the Lee Seo-jun in front of you is an illusion and not the real thing, he will not be as strong as the real thing. However, this does not mean that the current situation will change positively.
Sr/Rung.
Seojun Lee pulled out a sword from his waist.
I also lowered my body and gathered my mana and concentrated.
Due to the influence of mental magic, it was not possible to create a complete magic sphere as usual.
all. Still, this is enough for a fight.
