Episode 74
Japan’s Kanto region.
In the national park of Tochigi Prefecture, which is famous for its beauty, there was the best academy in Japan.
Choten (頂点)
As the name suggests, it is the best academy sweeping all kinds of competitions in Japan.
And the strongest among freshmen is the Hunter Club.
An unusual club that uses the name Hunter Club in Choten, where all students are made up of hunters.
In Choten, only 9 students belonged to the Hunter club. In other words, the Hunter Club is the best elite in Japan. However, Seiji’s party was an elite with all three members belonging to the Hunter Club.
A first-class player who has never experienced a single failure so far. However, in the Korean competition, Adela, who competed alone, was pushed to third place and lost with a record.
“Shin Yuseong! What a great thing! To break such Adela with an F-class trait!”
Seiji, the party leader, reads the article and laughs cheerfully. Sakura, who was sitting at the desk, swayed her legs and smiled.
“Huh, I didn’t see your skills. He said the face was great. Totally my style!”
Isshin frowned at Sakura’s mischievous laugh.
“...Take it seriously. Cherry Blossom.”
Sakura pointed her thumb down behind Isshin. kind of rebellion.
“see.”
However, at Isshin’s words, Sakura subtly lowered her hand.
“But this time, I can look at my skills. isn’t it good If we attack together, we can see the opponent up close.”
Sakura, who was talking seriously, added something as if Isshin was listening.
“Don’t get me wrong~ It’s about your skills~ Isn’t it about your face?”
“...Useless talk.”
Nervous Isshin.
Seiji, the party leader, intervened between the two and laughed.
“that’s right. It’s a good opportunity to prepare for the competition. It will be the same for your opponent!”
After hearing the story, Sakura brushed her hair back. The hair that fell skyward along her hand resembled cherry blossoms.
“Not funny. By the way, who is the other party member coming with you?”
Seiji immediately opened his mouth to Sakura’s question.
“Hmm, rumors say Gaon’s third-ranked student joined Shin Yoo-seong’s party?”
“Hmm, I wonder if third place will come. But isn’t she a girl? Ah~ Totally disappointed~ The two of us will be pink.”
Sakura with a confused face.
Isshin slowly rose from his seat.
“...If only I had enough skills to entrust my back to you. I don’t care who.”
Isshin chanting while setting the mood.
Sakura imitated Isshin’s mouth from behind.
‘I’m ~ Negrad~ Sangga Neopseo~’
In the end, Seiji burst into laughter as he saw Sakura.
“cook!”
Isshin placed his hand on his empty waist as if holding a sword sheath.
“I would have said I could see it.”
sneak
This time again, Sakura quietly stepped back and took a deep breath. The two of them behaved like enemies, as if they were going to catch and eat them.
But the balance here is Sage, the party leader.
“Okay then! Let’s go quickly to meet the guests!”
Seiji patted the back of the two and smiled brightly.

Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
Shin Yoo-seong and Sumire pass through the portal.
Sumire, who returned to Japan after a long time, was clearly excited.
“Shin Yuseong! this this! These dangos are so delicious!”
Sumire is a Japanese-style rice cake skewer. Dango. Sumire came with both hands full of dango coated with various sauces to give Shin Yoo-seong a taste.
“This sauce is soy sauce! It’s a smile! This is honey!”
As he walked to his destination, Shin Yuseong tasted the dango one by one.
‘...Did you bake rice cakes? Genius.’
Shin Yoo-seong is deeply satisfied with small snacks. Excited, Sumire kept bringing food here and there.
Kim Eun-ah made a sound with a hum.
‘Well, that’s an important story.’
The moment I tried to pass it on so calmly. Joonhyuk Kim added.
“And that you stayed overnight in a tent?”
“No, then you heard everything! that and! There was another girl too! Why do you keep leaving him out!”
Kim Eun-ah, whose face is reddened, goes wild. Kim Junhyeok laughed hahaha.
Kim Jun-hyeok, who became calmer after the laughter, smiled leisurely.
“...Still, you are a very grateful student. To confront Rebellion as a student.”
“Well...so I signed up. Do you have to pay off your debt? Of course, until the competition is over...”
Kim Eun-ah, lying face down on the bed.
Kim Joon-hyeok slowly stroked Kim Eun-ah’s hair and smiled.
‘...is it a family after all?’
Kim Eun-ah was very similar to Kim Jun-hyeok himself. The mind is weak, but the pride is strong. To the point where you’re too clumsy to express yourself first.
“Now then, is it Eunah?”
“ok?”
“To the benefactor who saved my life. I want to express my gratitude myself...”
Kim Jun-hyeok thought that he, as his older brother, should step up this time.
“Your party leader. Student Shin Yoo-seong... Where is he now?”
Kim Eun-ah’s answer to Kim Jun-hyeok’s question was simple.
“japan.”
Kim Jun-hyeok was taken aback by the fact that it was farther than he thought.
“...japan?”
“okay. Because the patient never goes. Get some rest?”
Seeing Kim Eun-ah’s bloody eyes, Kim Jun-hyeok smiled shyly. 2 years blank. While I didn’t see her, my younger sister Kim Eun-ah had become too strong in many ways.

The outer shell of Choten Academy.
The three members of the Hunter Department were waiting for Shin Yoo-seong at the upper seat with a beautiful view of nature.
“It’s the promised time soon.”
Let Seiji speak while checking the pocket on the wrist. Sakura jumped up from her seat.
“Isshin. Don’t just speak Japanese like you did before. It’s not polite to speak Korean well.”
Isshin clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like Sakura.
Now, if you have a pocket, language translation is not a job. The past when pockets were not made.
Humanity needed a [common language] for smooth communication.
The process of choosing a common language was simple.
Influence in towers with that country. Thanks to this, it was Korea that discovered most of the technologies used in pockets that were selected as the country of official language.
Because Korea had many gates and dungeons, it produced strong hunters and was able to preoccupy the top.
The disaster of the cursed Outbreak, which was thought to be a bad thing, accidentally strengthened the national power.
In the current generation, the number of hunters who attacked the tower in other countries also increased, but Korean was already perfectly established as a common language.
“okay. knowing how to speak It’s not good to bully your opponent. We are now a party to raid dungeons together.”
While Seiji was laughing, someone walked from afar.
Bubbly.
The opponent is, of course, Shin Yoo-seong, who wears Gaon’s school uniform. Sakura, who was smiling single, made a puzzled expression when she saw Sumire standing next to Shin Yuseong.
“uh?”
Come to think of it, Gaon invited 3 people to participate in the association’s competition. However, Choten Academy only remembered the names of Shin Yuseong and Adela.
“The rest of Gaon’s party members...”
Seiji, the party leader, let out a bewildered face. It was a surprise. The party member was Japanese. It’s a very familiar face too.
“...what.”
Seiji and Sakura’s gazes gathered at Isshin’s muttering voice as if they had promised. Isshin wakes up with a frown on his face.
Sumire kept her mouth shut as if she had anticipated all of this.
“I am...”
Sumire’s voice faded as she tried to say something.
bang!
Isshin hit the wall hard enough to make a sound. I looked down at Sumire with eyes filled with contempt.
“Why do you...”
