The S Classes That I raised:Geunseo( 근서) 218+

Chapter 258: Unintended Mass Hunt (1)

With a loud thud, the last SS-grade monster fell long on the ruins of the building. Property damage was inevitable, but there were no casualties. While the guards of Lanchea distracted the monsters, Yoohyun and Moon Hyuna quickly took care of one each.

Using the Chick Class Teacher skill and coordinating their attacks, even the SS-grade monster couldn't last long. Yoohyun and Yerim tied up the monster's feet, and as if they had been waiting, Moon Hyuna  spear charged in, and that was the end.

"Your skill is really good," Moon Hyuna said, jumping off the monster's corpse.

"It's usually hard for combat classes to cooperate. Normally, I would have to prepare for burns, and it would be difficult for you to time your dodges."

As she said, it was not easy for Yoohyun and Moon Hyuna to cooperate. Especially since fire damage is so widespread. Even if Moon Hyuna's attack is concentrated in one place, it's likely to get caught up in it due to its power.

"Why don't you stop buying cookies and buy a skill instead? It seems like it would be convenient."

"I don't have any related traits, so it takes a lot of points. The price of skills varies depending on the buyer's abilities."

Yoohyun found this out by comparing it with the point shop. Equipment and consumables were the same points, but skills were different. In the case of fire attribute skills, the required points for me and Yoohyun were nearly a hundred times different.

"Really? No wonder you have such cheap skills. Still, if you have time, try collecting points by hunting with Moon, They say if you hunt with him, the points master can take them all, even double. They say there's grace, but it's difficult to take on the boss alone."

Moon hyuna smiled, saying, "What if you get lost in the wrong direction?"

But it's unlikely. Sharing resistance skills will become easier, not to mention doubling skills.

"Buying skills is tough, but they say you can get cookies generously. They offer a 20% discount for a set of 10, and a whopping 55% discount for a set of 100."

A box of a hundred costs 5 million points, but an S-grade miniaturization skill with the same effect as a cookie costs over 100 million points... Unfortunately, the S-grade exchange ticket excluded skills. There was also a point limit. Besides, it's better for the kids to use the exchange ticket.

"Are you going straight to Medsang?"

Yoohyun asked, pulling me out of his pocket.

"I guess so. What are you going to do, Hyuna?"

In my words, she scratched her red hair roughly. She looked thoughtful for a moment, but soon shook it off.

"Even if it's sincere, you have to distinguish. Guys!"

Moon Hyuna, who turned around, looked at the guards of Lanchea

"I have to leave to investigate the mana anomaly in Akates. So, I'll leave the city to you while I'm gone. Enter emergency mode and try to hold out with as little damage as possible. I hope we can see each other again, but don't wait too long, if you see a decent SS-grade Awakener, grab his ankle and sit him down. Got it?"

At her last words, a few guards chuckled. Although she said she would be away for a long time, the atmosphere wasn't too dark. There were worried expressions, but their faith in Lambda, Moon Hyuna, seemed stronger.

"Don't worry and go!"

"We'll keep waiting, but if we see an SS-grade Awakener, we'll grab his ankle."

"That's right, it's good to have one more person. It'll be easier for Lambda."

"I wonder if she'll go out of town every day if there's an SS-grade guard to leave behind."

While light jokes were exchanged, there were guards who ran to get her luggage. They even playfully argued about picking an escort, saying she wasn't going alone.

Lambda was a leader with high public trust, but I thought it was really amazing that Moon Hyuna continued that trust. There must have been a system effect that made them see her as Lambda, but that alone couldn't create such scenes.

"We received a response from the Medsang ship. They are approaching via the Lanchea-Paris road."

A guard who received the radio from the Lanchea Defense Bereau communication room said. They had agreed to meet at a place more than 20km away from the city because an SSS-grade monster was following them. Soon, military vehicles and Moon Hyuna's motorcycle, and a truck carrying luggage were prepared. To conserve power, only A to B grade Lanchea guards who also served as drivers agreed to accompany them.

The vehicles departed amidst the people's farewell. Moon Hyuna looked at them and the dark city with a hint of regret.

"It would be nice to rest for a day. Lanchea is a wonderful city. I couldn't even eat Bolognese, a traditional dish from the southern region in the past. It's in season and tastes amazing."

She's really become one of the people here.

"It's not a time to rest leisurely, but I want to return to the ship as soon as possible because I left the two of them behind. I wonder how they are."

"That's true. Little Moon and Noah's compatibility isn't great, right? He can't use attack skills, might be getting bullied."

Would Noah really do that? ...Even though he tried to abandon him. Soon, a barrier appeared and they ascended onto the rough road through a large gate. In the meantime, the effect of the cookie had ended and Yoohyun sat in the passenger seat. The moonlight pouring down was unusually intense.

"The installation location for the 5th disc was confirmed by Noah to be in Medsang City, but there is no matching location in Drosia City for the last 1st disc."

The installation location for the 1st disc was written as the central lake of the Libenua Forest. However, there was no Libenua Forest in Drosia. The already cold northern land had frozen over due to the gathering of water and ice spirits, turning all the areas that were once forests into snowfields. So, they said they would look through the records as it could be one of the disappeared forests outside the city.

"It's here."

Yoohyun spoke first, and little Moon Hyuna also looked up at the sky. I could faintly feel the movement of mana as well.

After engraving the mark, I couldn't adapt to the suddenly changed senses and wore an item that lowered my mana response rate. It was because both my mind and body became tired if I left it as it was. Now, I had about a D-class level of mana sense.

With a low hum, the air vibrated and a huge ship appeared in the air. It approached us at almost teleportation speed, wrapped in various auxiliary skills. The wind hit our faces fiercely as if a storm was rushing in due to the recoil.

A part of the bottom of the ship opened and a large elevator big enough for a few cars to ascend came down. As we went inside the ship, Noah was there to meet us.

"We will head straight to Medsang City. The SSS-grade monster is still following without any sudden movements. Although most monsters regard humans as enemies and attack cities, there has never been a case as persistent as this. It must be targeting him."

They said that usually, if they get a certain distance away, they don't actively follow. In addition, the Akates mana hole has also calmed down. It seems that the anomaly of the mana hole was indeed due to Sigma.

"And, creatures below SS-grade have also joined, forming a group of about a hundred."

"A group?"

"Yes. The number decreases occasionally as they eat each other, but it continues to increase."

"...How many SS-grade are there?"

"We've confirmed five so far."

I was momentarily at a loss for words at Noah's answer.

The plan was simple. After installing the disc up to Medsang, we would head straight to Drosia with the SSS-grade monster. According to Sung Hyun Je, we planned to deal with the monster by joining up with Yerim, the strongest guard in this world, but would it be okay? I hope no more SSS-grade monsters pop out.

"What about little Moon?"

Since Sigma was processed as dead, we decided to temporarily use a different nickname in front of the people of this world. The party in question seemed reluctant. Yoohyun and Noah referred to him as "that guy", "that person", "that one", and only Hyuna and I called him "little moon".

Doesn't it suit him somewhat?
