Hunter Academy’s Greatest War God - Chapter 372

Chapter 372:

Good and Punishment.

Punish the wicked and reward the good. It’s a story that most people like.

But Shin Yooseong knew. Hunter’s talent and strength were not according to nature, and there is absolutely no good or evil in power.

Goodness cannot overcome strength.

It wasn’t a story limited to the world of silky hunters, and it wasn’t just a story about brute force. From the wild to the real, everyone has a different name, but uses their own ‘power’.

However, if you see yourself as a child who was still trembling with fear, that would be a huge mistake.

Time changes many things. Especially so for young children. 10 years that flowed slowly like a river day by day, like lava bursting up, every passionate day is bound to pile up steadily. It changes values, changes lives, and changes destiny.

Shin Yooseong has changed.

The time given to Shin Yoo-seong, who was only a child of 5 years old, has now become her strength.

‘…Is this the end?’

Shin Yooseong smiled bitterly.

What he wanted to forget the most was the fact that he was the blood of the Shin-O family. In the teachings of Yu Won-Hak, he believed that he could become a person like Yu Won-Hak.

“My teacher… was a person who rarely praised me out of pride, but he was a person who easily recognized the merits of things and people.”

The words of Shin Yoo-seong, who had sunk to the point of seeming emotionless, were the first words even his colleagues had heard. However, there was no need to infer how Shin Yuseong was feeling right now.

It was a universal sensibility that everyone was angry and sad that a precious being was harmed by someone.

There is only a difference in how they feel and how they express it. Then, what about Shin Yooseong?

“He was someone who recognized the strengths of his colleagues and the good side of me as a disciple more than anyone else, even if he didn’t have to say anything.”

Shin Yooseong continued to speak softly. Therefore, it was not easy to determine whether it was anger or sadness. Now Shin Yoo-seong was holding back his emotions. If he had the energy to indulge in sentimentality, he had to use that energy to save Velvet.

“It was a pure delusion that I could be like that master.”

“Mr. Yooseong…Mr. Yoosung is…”

Sumire swallowed his words in agony at the sight of Shin Yooseong, seeing Shin Yoosung for the first time, but Shin Yooseong shook his head.

“No Sumire. no need to comfort Because it’s true.”

Shin Yoo-sung replied to Sumire with a firm face and an insensitive voice, not a caring smile as usual.

“…Shin Ha-yoon stole mana from Velvet’s Dragon Heart in order to achieve his own goals.

But that too has been difficult. Shin Yoo-seong’s voice, which gradually reached a conclusion, was filled with clear anger.

“Shin Ha-yoon made that choice knowing that Velvet would die.”

To Shin Yoo-seong, Shin Ha-yoon was a monster who did not seem to feel love for humans, warm heart, or compassion. It was a beast that would bite the scruff of the neck and sacrifice whoever it was, if necessary.

I couldn’t understand any reason why. Even if it was a family that was connected by blood, I couldn’t forgive it. I couldn’t find anything good about it.

“I can’t see anything good about Shin Ha-yoon. It was just my delusion to think I could stop or change Shin Ha-yoon’s ways.”

Adela clenched her fists in a mixture of anger, sadness, and determination. Kim Eun-ah put her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache. Amy silently looked at the picture she took with Velvet, and Siwoo Lee let out a long sigh.

“I am different from Master.”

Black mana and red mana exuded from Shin Yuseong’s body.

Normal human images stay only inside, but Hunter was able to express his inner image to the outside through the existence of mana.

What surrounded Shin Yuseong was not the usual clear blue color, but dark red mana mixed with anger and malice.

“…I’m going to use my strength to get back Velvet’s mana. If necessary, I will protect my peace, even if it means stepping on Shin Ha-yoon so that he cannot recover.”

Even if Shin Yoo-seong’s method of cultivating power was Yuwon-hak’s, the method of using ‘power’ was eventually closer to that of the Shin-o family.

Perhaps, if I had fully understood Master’s teachings, I would have had a better option.

‘Maybe this part…’

But the thought ended there. Shin Yoo-seong swallowed his words at the presence of someone and turned his head.

“It’s a story you hate. Looking at it this way… You definitely look like Ha-yoon with those eyes.”

Lee Hyuk was not being sarcastic. At the first meeting with Shin Yoo-seong, I couldn’t find a point of contact between the two, but now Shin Yoo-seong’s atmosphere is very similar to Shin Ha-yoon.

“You are…”

Seeing Lee Hyuk, Sumire recalled the meeting at the cafe. Only then did Sumire feel that Lee Hyuk’s proposal to her and Velvet’s work were fitting into a puzzle.

“I guess you remember, I went all the way to Japan where you are to prevent the current situation. I don’t mean to blame you, but it’s unfortunate.”

“That’s…”

Sumire, who felt like everything that happened to Velvet was her fault, was speechless.

“What is it, did you cheat on Sumire too!?”

“There is no point in threatening me. It’s not even a real body.”

In the end, Kim Eun-ah, who couldn’t control her anger, shouted and pointed with her electric finger, but Lee Hyuk didn’t even take out her sword.

“It’s a handful. Call it Scout. Besides, it wasn’t even a bad suggestion. You can’t get that kind of money anywhere other than Hayoon.”

However, Shin Yoo-seong couldn’t afford to match Lee Hyuk’s pace, so he raised his hand and dismissed it.

“…Why did you come to us alone?”

“From the point of view? nice.”

Lee Hyuk pointed behind him. The name of the white pillar that extends to the sky like a long lighthouse is Cheonsangtap. Excluding the portal, it was the only way to move to Cheongong Island as well as other islands.

“I wanted to let you know that you must make a clear choice before climbing this tower.”

“…select?”

Kim Eun-ah did not hide her hostility toward Lee Hyuk. However, it was pointless to take out anger on Lee Hyuk.

Lee Hyuk’s body he was facing now was just an artifact created for explanation. The real body was hidden on one of the floating islands.

“Yes, choose. A greedy person who chooses all will lose all. So… I’m asking you to choose whether you want to get revenge on Hayoon or save her.”

Lee Hyuk, who smiled viciously, pointed to the sky where Cheon Gong Island was located. Then, six pieces of light containing enormous mana spread their meteor-like tails and scattered toward different islands.

“Do you know what just flew away?”

“Huge chunks of mana in handicrafts… What are you thinking? Anyone can see that…”

When Lee Si-woo, who has a clairvoyance, noticed the truth and his complexion turned pale, Lee Hyuk looked up at the floating island in the sky and asked a question.

“Do you know the origin of Sky Island?”

There was no way that an answer would come back to Lee Hyuk’s sudden question in an immediate situation. However, this was a necessary story to explain the current situation.

“Cheongong Island, which floated in the sky with the power of the Celestial Emperor, and 12 islands that floated under the influence of that power. People called it Bi-guk (飛國) because it looked like 12 countries ruled by heaven.”

Secret Kingdom seemed to be protecting Cheon Gong Island, but it is a completely unrelated land. If he wanted to subdue Shin Ha-yoon, he would have to go straight to Cheon-gong Island.

“The place where Hayoon is is the highest floating island in the sky. The other 12 Secret Countries… are originally meaningless places for you guys.”

But that wasn’t the fun.

Shin Ha-yoon had prepared for this huge ceremony early on, and there was an arrangement prepared right away.

“But what if the items you are looking for are scattered all over the secret country?”

“Hehe, no way! Then, what was just scattered was Velvet’s…”

Surprised Amy covered her mouth. If the mana contained in the glass heart escaped, it would be impossible to restore the velvet.

“okay. It is at the Altar of Secrets. The six vertices form a huge magic circle. …you don’t have to worry about anything else. Because we also need to use the mana contained in the glass heart for our magic.”

In order to get the people to go to the sky island and the glass hearts used for the 6 altars, the people must be split into 7 parties. Even with the soon-to-be-joined Japanese party, the number of people assigned to one altar was between 1 and 2 at most.

“The more people heading to Cheon Gong Island, where Hayoon is, the more. Your chances of saving the kid are going to drop. Of course, Ha-yoon also has a piece, so perhaps throwing the kid away is the way to go.”

This was Lee Hyuk’s obvious provocation and Shin Ha-yoon’s play to disrupt the party. Shin Ha-yoon was enjoying a sadistic game of destroying the relationship with Shin Yoo-seong through the name of choice.

In order to stop Shin Ha-yoon, who had been preparing so far, and protect Velvet, he had to win all six altars and defeat Shin Ha-yoon at the same time.

“Hayun said you would come to Cheon Gong Island alone. Because of that greed, I will be defeated, so tell me the truth. Of course… it’s up to you which choice you will make.”

The body of Lee Hyuk, who delivered the story, became hazy and soon disappeared as a mist.

The only thing left is Shin Yoo-sung’s choice, as Lee Hyuk said, but like Shin Ha-yoon’s prediction, the choice to save Velvet could not be changed.

“…Soon the Japanese team will come to help. The number of people is 4 including Han Seol-ah, who became a new party member. Then it can be divided into 6 parties.”

We must stop Shin Ha-yoon.

And then you have to save the velvet.

Shin Ha-yoon must have imagined the pain Shin Yoo-seong would feel in this contradictory choice that could not be made.

However, contrary to Shin Ha-yoon’s prediction, Shin Yoo-seong’s troubles were short-lived.

‘There is only one correct answer.’

Shin Ha-yoon is strong. Judging by his personality, he couldn’t even imagine how much power he had accumulated.

But this wasn’t an option. This was something that could not be postponed to others. The best way to save Velvet had already been decided.

“I’ll go to Sky Island alone.”
