Chapter 134
There were five dungeons on the Five Islands.
It was a training place for mid-rank hunters that was administrated by the Hunter Association.
'This is a place that can usually only be accessed by active hunters'
Thanks to Hunter Association President Kang YuChan, YuSung could use most of the Hunter Association's installations.
Thanks to that, training became more comfortable.
YuSung opened his mouth as they stood in front of a destroyed castle within a forest.
"This is the only undead dungeon on the Five Islands."
They were beneath a cliff where barely any light reached, so the castle even looked creepy on the outside.=
"YuSung are you also going to come?" Sumire had high hopes that she might get the opportunity to train alongside YuSung.
He nodded. "Sumire, you've obtained a lot of strength thanks to Laplace's fragment, so what you need are tactics and power."
YuSung was going to teach Sumire war techniques he had learned from the Fist King.
Sumire fought using an army of undead, so she had to learn how to fight by taking advantage of that.
"At first, it's important to figure out the terrain of the battlefield."
Sumire nodded at Shin YuSung's words while taking notes on her Pocket.
It was a castle with many narrow hallways that restricted sight, and they were going to attack one of its towers.
Sumire raised her head and looked at the abandoned castle.
"Since this building is a castle Okay! I'm confident!" she energetically replied.
YuSung smiled at Sumire. "Then should we enter?"

Sumire had never received elite education. Maybe that's why her grades were the lowest when she had just entered elementary school, but it didn't take her long to get to the top of every single subject.
Hunter Studies
Dungeon Studies
Attribute Studies
Potion Studies
Sumire had gotten full marks in many different subjectsincluding World History and Guild Dungeon Clearing.
She got full marks in most theory classes in Japan and Gaon. Rather than it being attributed to her intelligence, it was because of her personality.
[The most important thing when it comes to studying is to take notes.]
[Rather than learning many different things, it's more important to remember what youve learned.]
[Remember what youve learned and the foundation, understood?]
Her foundation, what the book said, and remembering what shed learned
From a teacher's perspective, Sumire was the best possible student.
Her personality, once again, showed results in YuSungs training.
'Just like YuSung taught me I should keep escape routes in mind in narrow hallways and send groups ahead to scout.
Sumire's learning ability was top-notch.
There might be things she didn't know, but she never forgot what YuSung taught her.
"There's a chance that a trap or monster could be hidden in a high place like that, so I'm going to send my bat familiar!"
Just like YuSung taught her, Sumire was calmly clearing the dungeon. Even YuSung was surprised at her decision-making ability.
'I chose an undead dungeon on purpose but to think she'd be this good'
YuSung saw Sumire's undead army cover the entire castle. With Lilith and the death knight at the front, an endless amount of familiar spirits and skeleton warriors poured out.
If an undead broke, Sumire's touch fully healed it.
"Raise"
As she went from [Controller of the Undead] to [Witch's Black Magic], Sumire's Black Magic became stronger.
"Master, the dungeon boss is inside this room," Lilith reported to Sumire, kneeling in front of her.
The death knight raised its sword into the sky and shouted, "I'll go first! De sp air to the e nemies!"
"No. We're going to stop for today"
Sumire shook her head and gave an unexpected order. Although the dungeon boss was right before her, she decided to give up.
"Sumire, why did you stop here?" YuSung asked her.
Sumire laughed while making an a-ha expression and showed him her hologram.
"Before coming here I investigated the bosses. The one that appears in the abandoned castle is Racule. Here!"
Sumire looked embarrassed as she pointed at the hologram.
[Boss Name: Racule of the Black Cape]
[ Warning: Its Trait is too strong, so I should check it out beforehand and be careful! I could suffer a great loss ()]
[Trait: Blessing of the Abandoned Princess]
[Effect: Every 24 hours, a buff or a debuff will be applied on Racule alternately. Some of the buffs can double its mana and physical capability. Among the debuffs, there's one that reduces its fighting capability by 50%. A 4x difference! ( ` ) /]
The hologram was full of Sumire's notes.
'To think that she'd investigate all five dungeons. She really prepares a lot'
YuSung always did his best, but even he was surprised at Sumire's level of preparation.
"Racule is an undead. He won't move from the stage if there's no other challenger, so If I attack tomorrow, I thought I could reduce the damage taken without any other variables"
Sumire was blushing as she explained, fiddling with her fingers and smiling.
"Since this training is going to take a few days"
Sumire was already happy about sleeping alongside YuSung, cooking for him, and attacking the dungeon with him.
Unlike EunAh, who was half-dead, Sumire seemed to be having fun.
'Training can make you really happy.'
YuSung nodded in satisfaction at Sumire's preparations. "Good, Sumire! Let's get Racule tomorrow. A rank 4 boss is worthy of putting in the effort."
"Yes! Okay! Then, YuSung I'll return to the lodging first."
Although the Five Islands were islands with dungeons, there was hotel-grade lodging on them as well that everyone who went there stayed in.
Sumire had thought of returning earlier and to begin preparing the dinner.
"Wait for dinner!"

EunAh's special training was taking place on the North side of the Five Islands, inside a green forest.
EunAh stretched, wearing leggings and a T-shirt that allowed her to move more freely.
The smooth curve of her body was easily visible beneath her thin clothes. Although she had never trained inside a mountain like YuSung, she had followed YunHas physical routine.
Maybe it wasnt in the same sense, but nevertheless, EunAh's body had been trained.
"Haa, my muscles hurt, but I guess this will be better than pulling a tire."
EunAh smiled as she stretched, and YuSung smiled too.
"You'll probably be able to learn fast."
The theme of the special training was martial arts.
EunAh didn't seem convinced.
"Are fighting techniques going to be helpful to me? It doesn't matter how much I practice, I'll still be weaker than you."
She was wrong.
Shin YuSung was trying to teach her fighting techniques for another reason.
"No. Fighting techniques are weapons that suit you very well, EunAh. It makes even more sense because your Trait is Electricity."
Shin YuSung got into position and swung his fist toward the trees.
Pang! Crack-
The trees shattered.
"This is the average speed of my attack. Although my fist can be strong, your electricity is faster."
The speed of electricity was similar to the speed of lightno one could physically make an attack faster than that.
"EunAh, why do you think people can react to your attacks?"
That was a question EunAh had never thought about.

"I I'm not sure."
As Kim EunAh scratched her cheeks, YuSung's body disappeared.
Pat!
"Huh?"
Kim EunAh blinked, and YuSung's foot suddenly covered her vision.
Pang! Fwoosh!
The wind from his foot pushed her back.
"Puff! Hey! What are you doing?!"
Kim EunAh quickly got up, holding the ground for support.
"Would you be able to block that attack?" YuSung said with a smile on his face.
EunAh shook her head, giving him a suspicious glare. "No It was too fast."
"That's right. To block an attack, you need to be able to react equally as fast; it's the same for attacking."
Shin YuSung grabbed a stone and targeted a hyena-like monster watching from the sidelines.
Pang!
YuSung threw the stone, and the monster flew into the sky to avoid it.
"When did that get here?" EunAh mumbled in surprise.
Even as he did that, YuSung kept explaining to EunAh.
"If your reflexes are bad, you'll miss the target because itll already be too late when you attack.
YuSung grabbed a stone again.
Once again, he aimed for a flying monster, but that time, he correctly read its movements and threw the stone.
Pang!!
In the end, the stone hit the monster, and it fell to the ground.
"Woah" Kim EunAh exclaimed in surprise.
YuSung calmly spoke. "What you need is the ability to make decisions faster and reaction speed. After all, noticing an attack opportunity and activating your Trait needs training."
Two hours passed. Unlike her initial motivation, just learning the basic positions had already drained up quite a bit of her stamina.
"Like like this?" Kim EunAh, who was half-dead, asked.
Shin YuSung slowly walked toward her. "No. Move your waist back a bit, and your hands and shoulders should be in a straight line."
Tap.
Shin YuSung put his hands on Kim EunAh's waist and arms to correct her position.
"Huh, huh?"
They were so close that their faces almost touched. Not only that, but YuSung's hands were on Kim EunAh's waist.
"Eh"
EunAh's face went completely red.
