[ Location: 'YukiKamon Splendor' Private Deck 1. ]
" I'm honored to have you all here, girls from the Noble Clans who inherited the Blue Blood. " Yukino greets the girls, the daughters of the Noble Clans present inside the Yacht, are all here to meet per their parents' insist.
" The pleasure is ours, Lady Fubuki. " said one of the girls, for this one, came from South Korea's Moon Clan.
[ Name: Moon Yeji (20 Y.O.) ]
[ Noble Clan: Moon (Mun) ]
[ Gift Tier: 4 ]
[ Gift: Elegance Harmonize ]
[ Profession: Hunter ]
[ Rank (In Korea): 3 ]
" After all, we were simply here because of your mother's accommodation to have us all in this vessel. "
" Not to mention, we were all treated well, so we have no issues with everything, despite being forced to meet here... "
" Without the boys, our brothers and friends... " Yeji tells them, having a sigh while thinking of someone.
" The boys in the other room, perhaps... " said Nakamura Riko, Yukino's friend who was also present there.
" I think they're all having a good time with Jun-woo-Oppa, kya... " Riko says which made the other girls react.
" Shim Jun-woo-Oppa is with them, really!? "
" Kya! Jun-woo-Oppa is there!? OMG, I want an autograph! "
" Korea's 1st Rank Hunter, I wanna marry him! " said the girls filled with hype, while Yukino and Yeji could only hear it while responding to them with their minds.
"( First Rank Hunter in Korea or not, he still had more to work to be equal with me. )" Yukino says, remembering her power's effect on both Shim Jun-woo and Choi Shin-jae back then.
"( Filthy b*ches! )" Yeji says to herself as she hears the girls screaming for Jun-woo.
"( Jun-woo-Oppa is mine! )" Yeji tells it while remembering her days back in 'Gifted Elite Academy', she remembers always being around Jun-woo with her friends, she remembers her times with him together, graduating together even attending the same university, entering the Hunter Association as the two of them rise together, to even beat the returned Hunter from Trinia's Rank.
"( I have been with Jun-woo-Oppa since we were young, how dare you b*ches want to get close to him. )"
"( We both even... )" Yeji remembers that because the two are getting closer together in secret, their parents began to find out after some years.
But somehow, instead of their parents being angry or something, both of their parents even the rest of their Clan Members agreed with the relationship and even prepared for both of them to be engaged which was going to happen in the next year, February 2023, after the 'White Demon' problem is over and perhaps after both the Moon and Shim Clans deal some ordeals with the other Clan regarding this engagement.
"( Our engagement is going to happen at Valentines' Day... )"
"( For now we were meant to lay low and avoid public controversies or exposure before that day happens. )"
"( So you girls could say like that, for now... )"
"( But after that day, I'll make sure it will cause a 'National', no, even an 'International Heartbreak' for you b*ches who're mesmerized with Jun-woo-Oppa. )" Yeji grins while the negative aura around her began to affect her beauty aura, which Yukino could feel it first then the others.
"( Why is lady Moon like that? )" Yukino wonders while having a drink.
"( I hope she's not part of the competition with these girls regarding Shim-san. )" Yukino thinks about Jun-woo.
"( I wonder what he's doing right now, is he still wondering about what I will do with his request*? )" Yukino wonders.
...
( Meanwhile. )
[ Location: 'YukiKamon Splendor' Smoking Deck. ]
" Your life will not continue, Choi Shin-jae, Shim Jun-woo... "
" For today, you all will die by my hands. "
" By 'Dreadbone's hands. "
< Black Shadow Elite VI, Dreadbone >
" Grkeukh! " Choi Shin-jae grunts after his right jaw was cut-off, blood spills everywhere.
[ Crafty Diamond Ice Hardening ]
[ Diamon Ice Face Armor Cover ]
Choi Shin-jae creates a block of ice to hold his cut jaw, using the ice to prevent blood from spilling further and make sure that his jaw is still intact.
" *Mumbles* (Jun-woo, rain fire to that bastard, now!) *mumbles* " Shin-jae tries to tell it however he can as Jun-woo quickly uses his Gift.
[ Flame Divine Spirit Manifestation ]
[ Divine Spirit Full Manifest, the Flame Guardian, Haechi* ]
[ Haechi's Scoffs ]
Since they're still on the ship, Jun-woo decides to limit the fire blast output as he just made the Flame Divine Spirit scoff powerful flames toward the enemy.
"( We're still inside the Yacht, the others might've been around. )" Jun-woo thinks for the other's safety.
"( I can't let this attacker or my own flames harm everyone here. )" Jun-woo quickly thinks about it as he then uses Haechi to charge and bite upon Dreadbone as the Haechi takes him out into the seas, drowning him in the waters to make sure what Jun-woo will do next will not harm the other passengers.
"( I hope this works... )"
"( For I remember being able to kill a 'Demonic' Monster with this, which almost killed my Party since it destroys the land we're at. )"
"( I hope the water could at least decrease the explosion effect despite some quakes that may occur. )"
" Now! "
" Burst out, Haechi! " Jun-woo orders as the Haechi's eyes light its flames, showing Dreadbone that it's gonna do it.
" Ah yes, the infamous Flame Guardian Divine Spirit. "
" Gonna explode, I see... " Dreadbone says as Haechi does it.
[ Ultimate Skill: Divine Burst Anihilate ]
[ An ability that uses all of Haechi's might to create a great explosion. An Insta-Kill attack ]
With that, a great explosion happens in the waters, and everyone on the Yacht could feel it in every corner of the decks and rooms.
" What is that!? what's going on? " everyone goes into panic mode while those who had power get steady.
"( An explosion? )" Yeji hears this in the Private Deck while feeling the quake done by it.
"( This feels... )" Yeji somehow knew this kind of quake before.
"( An attack! )" Yukino also realizes for she then decides to prepare herself.
As the people inside are all alarmed, Jun-woo then exhales after seeing the result.
"( Dreadbone? is he a monster? )" he wonders to himself.
"( Why is he targeting me and Shin-jae? )" Jun-woo wonders but before he could hypothesize, he reactively dodges an attack from below.
"( What the- )" Jun-woo gets a glimpse of what he just dodged.
"( Is that, an arrow? ) Jun-woo thinks about this as he then gets alarmed seeing Dreadone coming out of the water with his hand blade sticking into the ship, while the other shifts into a bow.
[ Bone Weaponize ]
[ Dreadbow Arrow Shooter ]
Dreadbone then creates the Arrows from his bones, as the Dreadbow shoots the bone arrows towards Jun-woo.
" Shim Jun-woo, holder of the Haechi. " Dreadbone calls him.
" You shouldn't use all of the Haechi's power to explode itself, fool! "
" With that, you'll have to wait for the cooldown! " Dreadbone says to Jun-woo while Jun-woo decides to evade the arrows as much as possible, despite some hitting him since he's exhausted and on cooldown.
"( Shit, how did he know? )" Jun-woo wonders while grabbing Shin-jae and hiding in a covered wall for a while from Dreadbone.
"( Who is he? )" Jun-woo wonders while trying to slowly replenish his energy ammo that he recklessly depletes to make the battle short earlier.
