Chapter 40

Episode 40

A water park bathed in the sun.

Lee Si-woo muttered in a relaxed position lying on the sunbed under the parasol.

“Hmm, the two of us... playing well is really unexpected.”

At Lee Si-woo’s words, Shin Yoo-seong moved his gaze to the swimming pool.

“Ha ha ha!”

“Hee hee hee!”

Amy chases after excitedly.

Sumire runs away in fear.

Shin Yoo-seong, who was looking at the two, suddenly heard an electronic sound from his pocket.

“This?”

Tring! Dig!

[Suburban Mission]

[Requester- Jin Byeong-cheol]

[Request Area- Busan Metro City]

[Request Type- Daily City Patrol]

[Request Reward- 200SP]

When Shin Yoo-seong checks the message, a hologram unfolds in his pocket. Lee Si-woo, who read the hologram next to him, shouted with a surprised face.

“wow! 200 SP reward? Isn’t that the requester, too, the principal!?”

Shin Yuseong stared at the 200 SP written on the quest reward for a long time and then made a sound.

“...is 200 SP a lot?”

“of course! How many tickets are there for 200 SP? With that level of SP, there is nothing that the academy cannot do.”

“I see.”

Shin Yoosung nodded his head indifferently. Lee Si-woo asked Shin Yoo-seong as if he was curious.

“Yoosung, how much did you collect?”

“One 600?”

“Heh heh....”

The SP obtained after achieving a new record in the training room. The 150SP I got after beating Park Soo-hyun in Dalian. And while achieving a perfect victory in the counterattack, Shin Yoo-seong accumulated a huge amount of SP. It is a figure that is difficult for ordinary students to achieve even if they collect one year.

It was natural for Lee Si-woo to be surprised.

“Wow, it’s almost 3 times mine, right?”

Shin Yoo-seong’s eyes narrowed as he read the suburban mission.

‘A mission directly sent by the principal. The real purpose is not to be an SP.’

As evidence of that, the place written in the mission is Busan’s Metro City, where the preliminary round is held. Shin Yoo-seong, who confirmed the location, smiled leisurely.

‘...I must participate.’

In addition, the content of the request was to patrol the city, so there was no better mission to gain the support of the citizens.

Shin Yoo-seong presses the [Accept] button on the hologram. The hologram made a pass-sound and turned into particles and disappeared.

“Whew – it was so much fun! I wanted to add more!”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... More... I will definitely die.”

Contrary to Amy who looks happy, Sumire is a mess. The two of them were coming back slowly as if they had finished playing in the water.

Lee Si-woo muttered with his chin resting next to Shin Yoo-seong.

“...Hmm. Then Yooseong, you must be really busy. I have to prepare for the contest, but I have to go to the city patrol...”

Amy perked up her ears at Lee Si-woo’s story.

“Oh city patrol! That’s right~ Party leader, you’re going to Metro City for suburban activities!? Eun-ah goes there too...”

Amy twitched her eyebrows and laughed. Siwoo Lee made a puzzled expression.

“Hey, I just got a message from Yooseong, how did you know that?”

“Hahaha! In broadcasting, information power is the life! There’s nothing I don’t know about at school!”

Amy straightened her back and shouted confidently. Placing her hands on her hips definitely looked excited.

“By the way, I thought about it before, but the combination of the party leader and Eun-ah is really interesting...”

Amy was quite close with Eun-ah Kim, who was from Class A. Kim Eun-ah did not open her heart to the other person, but it was only because of her loose vigilance to Amy.

“Come to think of it. Were you in the same A class? How is he?”

Lee Si-woo asked as he swayed his outstretched feet on the sunbed. Amy groaned and fell into trouble.

“Uh... Eun-ah? Uh uh, so... uh, what a nice person!”

Let Amy evade the answer subtly. Lee Si-woo smiled and persistently asked a question.

“How are you?”

“Uh... even if you act rough on the outside, you secretly take care of me? Oh, does this only apply to me? Umm... so I mean...”

Amy overloaded alone.

Even for Amy, who is good around words, it was too difficult to wrap Kim Eun-ah.

* * *

Water park bustling with crowds.

But that’s for a while.

‘...moon. And Musin Mountain.’

Shin Yoo-seong slowly searched for memories of years past. It was a memory of the day when the bright moon rose over Musin Mountain like now.

[It’s been a long time since I’ve rested, so what are you doing without sleeping?] The

teacher, King Kwon, asked Shin Yoo-seong, clearing his ears. Shin Yuseong was sitting at the entrance of the cave, blankly looking up at the moon.

[I can’t sleep.]

[...so big, why?]

A campfire and a warm blanket.

A cave where you can shelter from the rain and wind.

A seven-star hotel was not envious of this level of sleep in Mt. Musin. But Shin Yuseong was still looking at the moon.

[...I don’t know.]

King Kwon clicked his tongue and stood up from the blanket at the sight of Shin Yoo-seong, who was downcast. Then, with her chin resting on her chin like a girl’s, she glared at Shin Yoo-seong with sparkling eyes.

[Could it be because the training failed?]

The king was right.

Shin Yuseong failed in the training that King Kwon gave him, and because of that, tomorrow’s rest was not pleasant. King Kwon relaxed his expression and scratched his head at Shin Yoo-sung’s downcast appearance.

[...Well, that could be it. Still, this guy. Is there a need to go so far with a failure once?]

Shin Yoo-seong was still fixated on the bright moon as if possessed. Maybe Shin Yuseong wasn’t looking at the moon.

[I... want to become stronger.]

Shin Yoo-seong had a goal.

Thanks to that goal, he has endured the hard training of Mt. Musin. Proving that even F-class traits can become the strongest hunters was the best revenge for the Shin-O family who abandoned themselves because of their traits.

And Shin Yuseong wanted to become stronger for himself, for the honor of King Kwon, who had taken him away.

A goal is a good driving force, but it was also a goal to make Shin Yoo-seong nervous like this now.

When he failed and was tired and taking a break, Shin Yoo-seong was afraid that someone would outrun him.

King Kwon was sick of Shin Yoo-seong’s appearance.

[...Is this guy nervous?]

The king’s benevolent voice.

Only then did Shin Yuseong move his gaze to King Kwon and nodded.

[I’m nervous.]

King Kwon thought that Shin Yoo-seong had matured at such a young age. However, at times like these, he seemed infinitely young for his age.

[Yoo Seong-ah. If you want to be strong....]

King Gwon stroked Yooseong Shin’s head with his rough hand, not knowing when he had come.

[Sometimes you need to rest.]

A rare consolation from a teacher.

Shin Yoo-seong just liked the warmth of the thick hand that patted his head.

[But... isn’t it Master who always told me to do my best?]

Shin Yoo-seong, who was relieved, let’s laugh. The king scratched his head.

[Tsui is not cute. okay. What I meant... was that sometimes you need to relax your shoulders a bit.] [

From hearing that... I think I know what you mean.]

Shin Yoo-seong smiles.

Shin Yuseong was pushing himself to the point where even the King of Fist was worried. Thanks to that, I continued to break through my limits and become stronger, but I never had the proper amount of time.

The best attitude doesn’t always give the best results. Sometimes, like Master said, there are things that can only be resolved when you take your time.

Shin Yoo-seong, who turned 17, decided to believe that.

‘...spare.’

Shin Yoo-seong took his stance again as if he had a firm mind.

Swoop.

Then he tried to erase the urgency from his mind. What I want to leave behind is peace and tranquility. The stronger the desperation, the more unnecessary force was applied and adversely affected mana control.

‘And serenity.’

Shin Yoo-seong naturally recalled the rest he had spent today. It was a noisy time, but not too bad. no it was so good

Saaa.

Shin Yuseong’s body swayed with mana again. Something was different from before.

‘With minimal concentration. maximum mana. Then...’

I just changed my mindset, but my breathing changed. The movement of mana moving around the body also changed slightly.

An unknown confidence surged through Shin Yoo-seong’s body.

“Pull it up!”

Wow!

The blue light oscillated inside the body and wrapped around Shin Yuseong as if to protect it.

Tsutsutsutsut! Dig!

The light soon disappeared, but Shin Yoo-seong looked down at his body with a stunned face.

“Really...it worked.”

It’s been 4 years since I learned the 3rd chapter of the Toshinryu.

Although it was only for a moment, he finally succeeded in using 4 Shintoshin style.
