Hunter Academy’s Greatest War God - Chapter 54
Episode 54 A
distant peak overlooking the mountain. Sumire muttered as she looked at the green-tinged mountains.
“Hey, this is…”
“You mean to figure out the location? Well, it’s a good place to start.”
As Kim Eun-ah said, the reason for choosing the destination as the summit was Meirin’s consideration to understand the topography.
A total of three lakes can be seen from Mt. Everlein. All of them were gigantic in size and their depth was unfathomable.
“But there are three lakes, so how do you know where the stilts are?”
Eunah Kim’s question.
Shin Yuseong looked at each lake and spoke calmly.
“That’s why it’s important to first understand the habitat of the shoal dragon.”
“Huh, do we have to disperse?”
Sumire stared blankly at Shin Yuseong. In Sumire’s honest mind, she wanted to go with Shin Yoo-seong. But this is a time-limited practice. Sumire clenched her fists and made a promise.
‘Ha I can do it!’
Kim Eun-ah narrowed her eyes at Sumire and said with a troubled face.
“I’m just like there? The lake in the middle.”
Kim Eun-ah seems to have sensed something.
Sumire chose the left side.
“Then I go to the left….”
Now the only place left is the lake on the right.
Shin Yuseong nodded and chose the point where the three lakes meet as the campsite.
“You have to decide the place in advance so you won’t get lost. …And because you can share coordinates and contact people with Pocket. If you spot a stilt dragon, report it to your teammates immediately.”
At Shin Yuseong’s explanation, Sumire quietly raised her hand.
“then! Can I walk with you to camp?”
“yes.”
For some reason, Sumire looks happy.
Let Shin Yoo-seong and Sumire lead the way to the camp. Kim Eun-ah yawned and walked behind.
‘…It’s a mountain, so it’s very humid.’
Of course, the air was nice, but Kim Eun-ah didn’t like Mt. Everlein. Even close distances were far from wild for Kim Eun-ah, who was always treated like a princess in a limousine.
‘…He lived 12 years in the mountains. How the hell did you hold on?’
Kim Eun-ah looked at the walking Shin Yoo-seong curiously. On the other hand, Shin Yoo-seong talks to Sumire without paying attention to Kim Eun-ah.
“Sumire. What did you bring in your pocket? Have you been testing for a long time?”
“ah! Those cooking utensils and ingredients. After a while, you’ll be hungry…”
Sumire smiled shyly and said. Eunah Kim looked at the two with a hmmmm.
‘You look very friendly. …Well, it has nothing to do with me.’
While Kim Eun-ah turned her head.
Shin Yoo-seong looked at Sumire’s pocket with a serious face and thought.
‘I guess I don’t have to catch wild animals.’
For Shin Yoo-seong, who has lived an abstinent diet, the value of delicious food was great.
Shin Yoo-seong’s cooking skills are to the point of grilling wild animals or mushrooms. It was fortunate that Sumire was with us for this camp.
‘It’s really fortunate.’
Sumire is a reliable member for Shin Yoo-seong, who has no talent in cooking. While Yoosung Shin and Sumire were walking in a warm atmosphere, Eunah Kim flinched.
‘…why is my body tickling like this?’
A sense of heterogeneity that can be felt even when you deliberately wear thick clothes. Kim Eun-ah, who was sweeping her shoulder, brought her white hand to her neck.
teouk.
“…uh?”
What Kim Eun-ah’s hand touched was a hard outer shell like the body of a crustacean. Something unknown even wiggled several feet to get out of Kim Eun-ah’s hands.
“Hiagh!!”
Embarrassed, Kim Eun-ah shook her hand. The yellow centipede that was staying in Kim Eun-ah’s hand was none other than that.
“Gee centipede! centipede! centipede! hey!! Here’s the centipede!!”
Surprised, Kim Eun-ah cried out and fired electricity at the centipede that had fallen to the ground.
Paperweight! Kwaaang!
A situation of chaos suddenly unfolded.
Sumire urgently stopped Kim Eun-ah, who was out of her mind.
“Hee hee! Eun-ah! Wait!”
“Ugh! Go centipede! Pass from my neck! Heeuk!”
The bizarre language of Kim Eun-ah.
Kim Eun-ah trembled as if she was appalled. Normally, Kim Eun-ah was not afraid of level 4 bosses, but Centipede was an exception. Insects with many feet were a fear to Kim Eun-ah.
Pat-Passss!!
A king who senses danger and runs away.
Sumire comforted Kim Eun-ah, who was surprised.
“Calm down! Just an ordinary centipede!”
“hey! How do you calm down!? Aren’t you disgusted by that?”
Kim Eun-ah could hardly calm down her surprise. However, Sumire calmly replied.
“Don’t you see centipedes often?”
Surprisingly fine Sumire.
For Sumire, who had already grown up seeing all sorts of insects, there was no damage to the centipede.
“what!? What are you talking about! Where do you usually see centipedes!”
On the other hand, Kim Eun-ah hates it.
Kim Eun-ah and Sumire, who lived opposite lives, had very different ripple effects of centipedes.
“…Ugh, such a big bug. I have to go back soon.”
While Kim Eun-ah was rubbing her forearm, saying she was creepy, Shin Yoo-seong stopped walking.
“Let’s make this our campsite.”
Saaa.
Flat land where the wind blows.
The camp site Shin Yoo-seong chose seemed relatively suitable for camping.
“Then… I’m ready!”
Sumire carefully took out the ring and Shin Yoo-seong’s hair from her pocket. Apparently, Sumire is preparing the undead to camp.
Kim Eun-ah unzipped her coat and took it off. I hung my coat on a tree at the camp and turned to the lake.
“Am I leaving right away? Something feels good right now.”
After saying that, Kim Eun-ah began to stride towards the lake with a eager face.

Academy branch. Association’s conference room.
The manager, Mei Lin, was sitting in the chief executive position in the center and was reporting the details.
“Manager. All A-11 portals have been cleared.”
“…You did well to send the 5th grade hunter. Anything special?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“great. next.”
Meirin proceeded with the meeting in an instant. Mei Lin’s impeccable work was the reason she was entrusted with Academy City at a relatively young age.
Towards the end of the meeting, one of the officials cautiously raised his hand.
“That… I’m not sure, but I have a report to tell you about the A-32 case that the students entered today.”
“This is inconclusive information. What do you mean?”
Let Meilin’s expressionless eyes narrow. The official uploaded the document as a hologram.
“This is the result of examining Everlein’s soil… However, there are parts where the composition of the scales from the inspection does not match that of a stilt dragon.”
“…If you collect scales that have fallen to the ground, of course there is a margin of error, isn’t it?”
In response to Meirin’s question, the official seemed nervous and sweated.
“It’s too big of a difference to dismiss it that way… I think… I think the Shyul-ryong that appeared this time has the potential to be a subspecies.”
“…a subspecies.”
Meilin rolled her eyes at the researcher next to her, as if she wanted to ask for his opinion. The researcher touched his glasses and shook his head resolutely.
“There is only about 0.03 percent chance of a subspecies of shoal dragon appearing. Considering the margin of error found in this survey, it is a much lower number.”
“You still don’t know, do you? The students started attacking as usual… but if a subspecies comes out!”
Conflict between researchers and officials.
Mei Lin scanned the hologram carefully. It was Shin Yoo-seong who entered the A-32 portal. Eunah Kim. Sumire.
‘…a subspecies.’
Meirin smiled weakly, recalling the performance Shin Yooseong showed.
“All right. The attack continues. Even if subspecies come out, the power put into the A-32 is sufficient.”
Mei Lin said that and stood up from her seat. The biggest help in her promotion so far was none other than her keen eye.
Thanks to that, the thing Meirin is most confident in is recognizing people’s values.
‘A subspecies or whatever. I’m definitely not a student who would lose to a level 4 boss.’
Mei Lin, the manager of the academy branch, puts the value of Shin Yoo-seong higher than anyone else.

Everline’s forest with thick trees.
Kim Eun-ah admired the dreamy landscape where sunlight passed through the leaves and turned green.
“…Oh that’s right. Something really seems to come out.”
The deeper you go towards the lake, the colder you feel. Kim Eun-ah muttered to herself for no reason.
“…what’s so grim about this place?”
-Geeee!
At that time, the first cry heard echoed from the lake into the forest. An unidentified sound like a whale’s cry. Kim Eun-ah was startled and lowered herself involuntarily.
‘…Can this be it?’
Eunah Kim slowly approaches the epicenter of the sound. Come to think of it, Eunah Kim’s intuition matched surprisingly well.
peek.
Kim Eun-ah cautiously sticks her head out over the bush. The first thing I saw was the huge lake I had seen earlier, and nearby was a gigantic creature eating unidentified meat.
“Kazak! Great!”
huge teeth.
Body covered with yellow scales.
A dragon-like figure that mixes a snake and a lizard.
‘It’s a shallow dragon!’
Kim Eun-ah was able to know the identity of the monster at once.
‘Somehow, I felt something from earlier!?’
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or fate, but Kim Eun-ah’s feelings were special today as well. It’s a rare scene to see a nyeolyong, which doesn’t usually hunt on land, eat meat outside the water.
In addition, although Kim Eun-ah did not know, Yeoul-ryong had a yellowish color instead of the original blue color. In other words, it was a subspecies with a probability of 0.03%.
Embarrassed, Kim Eun-ah ignored the typo and sent a message to Sumire.
[KimSilverA: ㅅ ㅗㄱボ! trot! Where ㄴㅐ is, a shoal dragon!]
[sumire: ʕ•̀ o •́ʔ !!]
[sumire: ᕕ༼✿•̀︿•́༽ᕗ]
Sumire’s message in Japanese and emoticons. Kim Eun-ah put her hand on her forehead and muttered with a sigh.
“…the one coming. right?”
Now, it’s Shin Yoo-seong’s turn.
Kim Eun-ah engrossed herself again and typed the message. But that’s for a while.
“Kreung…. Greul….”
Kim Eun-ah’s hand stopped typing a message at the sound she heard in her ears.
“Kreurreu…”
Something’s breath leaking from the side of the field of view.
“…This can’t be helped.”
Kim Eun-ah smiled as if it was absurd and lit electricity in her hand.
“I have to catch it alone. What can I do?”
Dig!
Let Kim Eun-ah turn around.
Yeowryong revealed this and confronted him.
“… Kreuk.”
The ruler of Mount Everline.
A subspecies of the 4th level boss, Yeowoolryong.
And 2nd in Gaon Academy’s grade ranking. Eunah Kim glared at each other.
“…on the subject of water lizards. Where do you show it?”
This is a wilderness ruled by the law of the weak.
Now all that was left for the two was to compete to see who was stronger.
