Hunter Academy’s Greatest War God - Chapter 166
Episode 166
Gaon’s Weekend.
Aden looked at Shin Yoo-seong, who was sitting across from him, and smiled.
[Then… can I ask for one more seat?]
The granddaughter’s request that would not hurt even if you put it in her eyes at the beginning of the story. Adela wanted to participate in the raid of the red dragon Sardonyx, invited by Aden, along with Shin Yoo-seong.
‘It must be proof that Adela… is aware of Yooseong as her rival.’
Aden kept smiling and asked Yoosung Shin.
“Yoo Seong-ah, I know you already heard the explanation from the principal. don’t ask again What do you think about going to Italy this time?”
A named 7th grade boss called a disaster.
It is also an opportunity to see a rare dragon up close. Shin Yooseong had no reason to refuse.
It was a golden opportunity for Shin Yoo-seong, who just finished the exam, because he had time to spare.
“I also want to participate.”
“Heh, that’s good. Then, when the deadline is up, send the guide yourself. There must be so many people who covet you during your active duty… It’s also a job to choose someone who has no selfishness. haha!”
Aden smiled cheerfully and got up from his seat. A bitter smile lingered on Arden’s lips as he turned his head.
Aden didn’t want his granddaughter’s interest in Shin Yoo-seong to end up as a mere rival.
5 years old.
Aden thought that it would be nice if someone could ease the cold burden that Adela had been carrying after ‘the incident’.
However, Shin Yoo-seong, whom Adela was interested in, resembles and is very different. Although the reasons are different, Yoosung Shin and Adela suffered greatly at the age of 5.
Maybe that’s why, although it was an unfounded belief, Aden believed that a new meteor had the power to melt Adela’s cold and hardened heart.
‘It must be an unreasonable idea.’
A time when everyone was happy.
I didn’t even want Adela’s bright appearance. Aden just wanted to be comfortable. When I saw my granddaughter who had turned into the winter of Volterra, my heart was tight even though she was innocent.
So Aden wanted to see even the slightest change.
Arden didn’t want her granddaughter to spend long periods of time alone.
I didn’t want it even more that I didn’t notice the loneliness even though I was alone.
So for yourself. for Adela.
‘But if it’s this child…’
Aden entrusted his granddaughter to Shin Yoo-seong through this opportunity.

The weekend after the exam is special.
There were students like Kim Eun-ah who went to visit their families after a long absence, and there were students like Lee Si-woo who used portals to travel to foreign countries such as Japan, even for a short time.
Of course, Amy was a peculiar case of being busier on weekends than on weekdays, but weekends are precious to most students.
‘Because it’s been quite a while since you ate. Snacks so you don’t get bored…’
But Sumire liked the school where she could be with Shin Yoo-seong. What Sumire especially likes is the moment when she cooks food for Shin Yoo-seong.
‘Finally… Tteokbokki rice cakes were left over. I can fry it and season it!’
Shin Yoo-seong for his own reasons.
Sumire never went to see her family on the weekends because it was too far away. More often than not, we spend time naturally.
It was such a happy thing for Sumire to have time to make a meal for just the two of them like today.
“Mr. Yooseong, it’s finished here!”
And for Shin Yoo-seong, the time to taste Sumire’s meal was definitely a happy moment.
‘…Mr. Yooseong.’
However, recently, watching Shin Yoo-seong eating food, Sumire’s feelings were gradually changing.
In the past, I was happy to eat delicious food that I had worked hard on.
A simple yet primary mind.
But now it was different.
Loss left alone.
Shin Yoo-seong eats his own food.
Sumire herself goes to wake Shin Yoo-seong, who has been asleep since the morning of the weekend.
I tried not to be conscious of it, but Shin Yoo-seong’s repeated actions were more like a couple’s daily life than a colleague.
“…Sumire. What’s going on?”
Shin Yoo-seong said as he put down the snack he was eating. Because he lived in Mt. Musin, Shin Yoo-seong is dark about common sense, but he captures other people’s emotions surprisingly well.
“yes!? oh no just I was thinking a little…”
“What are you thinking?”
Shin Yoo-seong asks with a puzzled face.
Sumire laughed awkwardly as usual.
“just. I’m a little happy…”
I’m also afraid.
But Sumire couldn’t bear to speak behind her back. It wasn’t a colleague, but it wasn’t a relationship that wasn’t even a lover. The daily life that Sumire was happy with was very dangerous.
“This time… I’m going to Italy. I won’t see you for a while. I want to.”
Even if you muster up the courage to speak out like this. The relationship Shin Yoo-seong accepted was always a colleague.
“I will miss you too. Sumire. It’s an important opportunity.”
There was nothing strange about it.
Originally, Shin Yoo-seong, whom Sumire knew, was such a person. Being kind to everyone and advancing towards one’s own dream, one who unknowingly admires.
At first, he wanted to repay Shin Yoo-seong for believing in him, but not now.
[…As expected, it was good to have you participate in the raid.]
Shin Yoo-seong’s kind voice comforted the downcast Sumire. A strong back that protected itself.
[2nd place! I’m in second place! Shin Yoo-seong!]
The moment when I was happy to meet Shin Yoo-seong.
[Anymore. I, the party leader, will not tolerate disrespect towards Sumire.]
Let’s recall the memories of Shin Yoo-seong. Sumire’s chest tightened on its own. Sumire, who was not a coward and was honest with her feelings, was able to understand.
The feelings she has for Shin Yoo-seong…
“Yoo Yoo-seong! Because this is the weekend. Would you like to go to Academy City together?”
I know it’s greedy, but Sumire wanted to become a more special relationship with Shin Yoo-sung.
* * *
Administrator of the Academy City branch. May Lin.
She looked down at Academy City through the transparent glass and put on a happy expression.
‘Certainly the subsidy has increased.’
Academy City was a branch of the Hunter Association where elites were in charge. This is because they have to deal with everything from trivial academy events to diplomatic issues involving multiple countries. However, even with so much work, Academy City is the last place that has nothing to do with battle.
The Society’s support was noticeably less than that of the dangerous branches. It seemed like yesterday that Mei Lin was playing tug-of-war with a close-knit support fund, but at some point the tide changed.
It was because it caught the eye of Kang Yoo-chan, the president of the association.
‘It started thanks to Shin Yoo-seong.’
Work increased, but there was nothing bad from Meirin’s point of view.
“If Korea wins the competition while I’m managing it… I wouldn’t wish for anything.”
Although it was because of Kang Yoo-chan’s order, it is true that Meirin supported Shin Yoo-seong. So, if Shin Yoo-seong won the championship, I could draw a picture in a cool way.
‘That’s enough to get out of the management position at all. It wouldn’t be difficult to become the next president of the association.’
Meirin is trusted by Kang Yoo-chan and even has a name tag saying that she is a 6th grade hunter, so there was a possibility.
However, that was the story of Shin Yoo-seong winning the championship.
It was unreasonable for even Meirin, who had been promoted at high speed, to receive the next president of the association without any results.
‘Rumors say she’s a great training fanatic, but maybe she’ll really be able to win…’
Someone familiar caught in front of Meirin’s eyes as she was drinking kimchi soup in advance.
That is none other than Shin Yoo-seong and Sumire walking side by side.
Even Sumire was tearing a giant cotton candy with her hands and feeding it to Shin Yoo-seong.
“…date?”
A date in Academy City ahead of the national competition?
“…the bowl is big.”
Meirin’s prediction, which she assumed would be training, turned out to be spectacularly wrong.
* * *
A huge pond where koi live and a feast of blue light that is not enviable in the deep mountains. Academy City’s park was a picturesque place.
However, due to the nature of Academy City, which is not open to the general public. On weekend afternoons, like now, there were few people in the park to count.
“…very secluded. It is a pretty park.”
Academy City is the closest city to Gaon Academy. It was a distance that could be reached quickly even by the school bus operated by the academy.
“That’s right. To think that Academy City has a park like this.”
Shin Yoo-seong was still more familiar with parks full of greenery than the advanced facilities of Academy City.
Just looking at it makes me feel at ease.
“…Even though it’s this close. I guess there were a lot of things I didn’t know.”
This wasn’t just an Academy City story. Rainy day. Sumire was curious when he saw Yoosung Shin deep in thought while looking out the window.
‘…What is Yoosung thinking right now?’
but didn’t ask
I’m happy enough with my current relationship, but I thought it was greed to try to get closer.
Because there was a past that I didn’t want to tell myself.
I believed that it was right to bury such things and avoided them. But even Sumire knew. It was just scary. Because it was easier to run away than to accept mistakes.
I was just fooling myself by saying this was comfortable.
“…Hey Yoo Yooseong, is there anything you are afraid of?”
To Shin Yoo-seong, the feared existence kept changing. At first, he was afraid of the back of his parents who had abandoned him, then he was afraid of the unfamiliar world that had changed in an instant, and the same was true after that. Wild boars and monsters. cold and hunger.
Thanks to facing fearful beings from the front, Shin Yoo-seong’s fear was now a faded sensation.
“I… have.”
But that wasn’t what Sumire was afraid of.
“What are you afraid of?”
When Shin Yuseong asked with his eyes on the pond. Sumire smiled lightly and opened her mouth.
“Being hated by someone… is it?”
Sumire took a short deep breath and spoke in a more relaxed voice.
“…For fear of being hated. There were many times when I couldn’t turn down things I didn’t like. Actually, there were so many things I wanted to say…”
Talk talk.
Sumire sat down on the bench and kicked herself, then looked at Shin Yoo-seong and smiled shyly as usual. So many memories flowed without even trying to recall them.
[Oh really can’t! Sumire tries to defeat him again!]
[But let’s play with values~ Sumire is kind.]
Is it because of Sumire’s greatest fear being hated? Sumire wrapped up her immature self in the name of consideration.
[…I’m fine! You can do it next time.]
[As expected, he gives in, and Sumire is nice~]
[She is considerate of others. Then please?]
If it doesn’t stand out.
if you don’t get greedy.
There is nothing to be hated on. It was Sumire’s nature to protect herself while avoiding trouble like that.
“I kept holding back… I tried hard not to be hated.”
The undead dungeon runaway case.
As Sumire’s characteristics with necromantic skills ran out of control, the undead entered a berserk state. Although there were no casualties, the incident was a nightmare for Sumire, who was only a middle school student.
[Kyaaaaagh! Run away!]
[Ugh! Mr. Seo!]
The situation in a crowded dungeon.
Screams heard all around.
Of course, the real nightmare came after the incident.
[…Sumire! Because of you!]
[I feel really bad…]
Sumire couldn’t stand the attitude and hatred of the people who had changed. himself with his head down. The hallway felt longer than usual.
Sumire eventually returned home.
Sumire could no longer go back to school. Because I didn’t have the courage to walk directly to a place that would be hated.
That’s why Sumire came to Korea
because she was able to start anew where she didn’t know herself. I thought there was no sense of responsibility, but self-loathing was better than the fear of stiff hands and feet.
But now it was different.
“But now I want to change.”
Sumire carefully leaned on Shin Yoo-seong’s shoulder. Even in her natural posture, her body was stiff somewhere, and the skin against her was hot, perhaps because she was nervous.
“…with a little more courage. I also want to be greedy.”
And at that moment, it was as if she was trying to cool off the reddened Sumire.
widely. Tak-
tak-tak.
Raindrops fell from the sky.
Waves spreading across the pond.
The touch of rainwater tickling your feet.
The clear sound of raindrops spreading.
Shoot ah-
the scent of greenery washed away by the rain tickled my nose and vibrated. Sumire closed her eyes and whispered with courage while leaning on Shin Yoo-seong’s shoulder.
“…About Yoosung. I want to know more. … I want to stay together.”
alone time.
Park in the rain.
Sumire thought it would be nice if everything stopped like this. Shin Yoo-seong gives Sumire a shoulder and smiles as if she knows that feeling.
It’s too deep to be just a colleague.
A relationship too pure to be love.
However, the owner of the piece supporting Sumire did not like the ambiguous distance.
– …my child.
at that time.
Laplace’s voice echoed in Sumire’s head.
– You made that promise. How satisfied are you with this relationship? Even if there is no greed, there is a degree.
What’s Sumire in Laplace’s voice? A moment of embarrassment with a bewildered expression.
“Yoosung. Please stay with me today.”
Sumire’s harsh words came out of his mouth.
– Huhu, yes. If you’re greedy, this should be tidied up.
Laplace is pleased with himself for no reason.
“Ah Yoo Yooseong! That’s what I just did!”
When Embarrassed Sumire tried to deal with it, Yoosung Shin smiled while making eye contact.
“huh. I will. Sumire.”
Sumire stopped talking and closed her mouth tightly. But even so, I couldn’t stand the tail of my mouth that twitched.
‘I’m so happy…’
To be able to go on a date all Saturday and be together until the next day. The happy Sumire was already thanking Laplace in her heart.
