Chapter 126

The day after the banquet

While most students were taking a break, YuSung traveled somewhere quite unexpectedthe Hunter Associations Academy City Branch.

It was a place where only those who were the best among countless students who aspired to be hunters could go.

"It seems that we've seen each other two days in a row now To think that I'd meet with a student this often. I feel like we might get friendlier at this rate."

As Mei Lin greeted him with a smile, YuSung also smiled at her.

That alone proved that he'd gotten close to Mei Lin, who had always kept a professional relationship with him before.

"Set portal G-3s destination to the Tower. There's no need for an escortI'll follow them personally," she ordered in a familiar tone of voice.

"Yes! Understood!" After a short reply, the nearby personnel activated the portal.

Whir!

Before they entered the portal, Mei Lin began warning YuSung of a few things he had to be cautious about.

"Student Shin YuSung, you're strong. You'll probably have an easy time clearing the lower floors, but there are a few things you should be careful about." Before she could continue with her warnings, she stopped.

Mei Lin really liked people who were prepared. YuSung had gained her interest after shed seen how much hed prepared for the water dragon, after all.

'Don't tell me its the same this time too?'

Mei Lin looked YuSung in the face and asked, "Student Shin YuSung, do you know the three things one has to be careful of on the lower floors?"

At Mei Lin's question, Shin YuSung fell into thought.

'Variables that happen on the lower floors?'

There were too many variables on the Tower because, after all, everything that was inside the Tower was a variable.

Even if two people cleared the 30th floor, depending on the time, they might end up facing different stages. One didn't know when the stage would change, the rewards were randomized, and the quest goals always changed, so the Tower wasn't a place you could predict.

'Nothing that special happens on the lower floors.'

The Tower didnt even have quests until the 10th floor. Rather, the lower floors only required you to clear themyou just had to defeat the monsters the Tower wanted you to.

'Still, we are talking about the Tower There's a difference between the monsters.'

Shin YuSung tried to remember what Yu WonHak had taught him.

[YuSung, the Tower It changes a lot, so you have to be careful. Always. And don't forget to look around.]

[Yes!]

Yu WonHak had always emphasized three things.

"If you're talking about three things, they're probably hidden monsters, champion bosses, and hidden stages."

Mei Lin made a satisfied smile at his answer. "Correct. What's the difference between a hidden monster and a champion boss?"

It seemed like Mei Lein wasn't satisfied with his answer, so she demanded an explanation, but that at least meant that his answer had caught her attention.

Shin YuSung opened his mouth confidently. "Hidden monsters are extremely strong monsters that might appear in a non-related floor. You could call that a variable, but champion bosses are different."

"Your explanation on hidden monsters was perfect. Fufu, what about champion bosses?" Mei Lin asked with a smile.

Shin YuSung immediately began explaining. "When a normal boss fulfills certain conditions, it evolves. The result of its evolution changes depending on the place and conditions, and that's why you never know how they will look. Thats an extremely rare case. There have only been 20 such reported cases beneath the 10th floor.

It was a perfect, textbook answer.

To put it simply, a hidden monster was when a monster way stronger than the others appeared out of the blue.

On the other hand, champion bosses were when a normal boss became stronger for some special reason.

As Shin YuSung finished explaining, Mei Lin clapped. "That was a perfect explanation. Only student Sumire had high marks regarding theory, so I didn't have much in the way of expectation"

Mei Lin began explaining 'hidden stages'.

'As expected, I'

As he finished thinking it over, Shin YuSung smiled.

As soon as it turned morning, sunlight filtered through the curtain. Kim EunAh got up and rubbed her eyes.

'This is'

She was in a soft bed, wrapped in a velvety blanket.

Judging by the furniture, it didn't seem to be her house. Kim EunAh was rubbing her eyes with a blank expression when she heard a familiar voice.

"Ah! You're up!"

It was Sumire, who was smiling while wearing a T-shirt. Kim EunAh looked at her own clothes.

'What are these clothes?'

The t-shirt she was wearing was too big for her around the chest area.

"Ugh My head. We're In the dorms, right?"

Kim EunAh grabbed her head, still hungover, and looked at Sumire.

"Sumire Where am I? Isn't this your home?" Kim EunAh looked confused.

Sumire made a troubled smile. "Ms. EunAh You told me you would go with me, no matter what"

"Huh? What?! Me?" Kim EunAh denied it while trying to remember what had happened the previous night. She slowly started to remember bits and pieces.

[I~ don't wanna~ I don't want to sleep alone~ Ah, I don't wanna~ Rather than my house~ I want to sleep with my party members.]

She threw a tantrum because she was drunk.

[Sumire do you like me?]

[KYAA?! YES?! Yes! I like you!]

[Fufu, I also like you~ Then let's sleep together. If you don't, I will take it as if you don't like me]

The more she remembered, the redder Kim EunAh's face became.

"I I'm sorry I wasn't in my right mind yesterday" Kim EunAh quickly apologized.

Sumire smiled and extended the mini table over Kim EunAh's bed.

"Here! This is your breakfast."

"Porridge?"

"It's breakfast, so I made something easy to digest! Fufu After all, we all ate a lot yesterday." After saying that, Sumire cutely patted her stomach. Kim EunAh grabbed a spoon of porridge and put it in her mouth. Her eyes shone.

'D-delicious'

From Kim EunAh's point of view, it seemed more delicious than something a chef would have made. She couldn't understand why.

After she ate the porridge, Kim EunAh spoke. "And YuSung?"

"Ah, YuSung went to the Tower today."

"Alone?"

Kim EunAh seemed disappointed, but that only lasted for a short while. Her spoon stoppedit seemed like she'd remembered something uncomfortable.

[Me? Rather than that, I came to feed YuSung with delicious food]

[YuSung~ What I give you eat it well~ You look like a baby bird.]

As soon as she remembered everything that had happened the night before, she thought to herself, 'Let's just die'
