chapter 29
29 – Coaching (3)
The search went more smoothly than expected.
Because the space of the dungeon was so wide, half of the time spent searching was spent moving, but the feeling of riding the Dire Wolf was good, and I was distracted by the view of the vast grassland, so I didn’t get bored.
Moreover, the air was so clear that it was hard to believe that it was a dungeon.
It would be perfect for an outing if there were no demons.
Like putting that idea into practice.
The instructors were spreading mats and eating sandwiches as if they were on a real outing.
“Why don’t you eat some too?”
“it’s okay.”
Of course, I am standing there watching the battle of Kaebi.
You can’t just sit back and eat a sandwich while my pet fights, can you?
It was against morality to sit down and take a break just because Instructor Han Yu-mi recommended it.
‘It’s coming to an end soon.’
One last one after all.
Horn Rabbit’s head, which was running away, was split in half by Kkaebi’s clumsy hammer.
This was the end of this sweep.
─Keii!
Like a general who won a great victory in war,
Kaebi raised her bat and let out a roar.
His expression is full of majesty, but his voice is meek, so he was a bit out of shape.
─Kei! Key!
As if to ask for praise for subjugating the monsters without a single wound, Kaebi jumped into my arms.
“great job.”
─Kei.
I stroked the head of the kkaebi with its face buried in my body once, and handed it a sandwich in a basket as a reward.
He seemed to want to eat from earlier.
Of course, I apologized in advance to Instructor Han Yu-mi, who brought me a sandwich.
“Are you really not eating? I have a lot left.”
“I get full just by eating kkaebi.”
Is it the heart of a parent?

Just seeing kkaebi eating well makes my stomach full.
In the first place, I don’t have a lot of appetite.
Conversely, kkaebi overflows with gluttony, as if it could be the incarnation of gluttony.
─Kei!
Kaebi greedily inhaled the sandwich.
Swallowed, barely chewing,
She is staring at the basket Instructor Yumi Han is holding, probably not even sending a message.
I’m still hungry!
It was the look on his face that made him want to say just that.
Instructor Han Yu-mi, who felt burdened by that gaze, smiled at her mother and handed over the entire basket.
“You eat them all.”
─Kei!
It was the appearance of a young girl who was delighted with her unique swaying dance.
I’m happy to eat very well.
I gazed at Kkaebi happily, then I slowly shifted my gaze to the encyclopedia.

It was very diverse, but
There was still no monster that could be synthesized.
Well, none of them seem to be related.
As I kept looking at the guidebook, Instructor Han Yu-mi sneaked up to me.
“Well. Does your encyclopedia look like a blank page to others?”
“It looks like the instructor is like that too.”
“right. But that is normal.”
Instructor Han Yu-mi waved her hand as if to see if she could touch my encyclopedia.
“The things that others can’t touch are the same as mine… It’s a job that’s really perfectly compatible with my higher ranks.”
upper level.
It was understandable that Instructor Han Yu-mi said that.
Phantasmal Summoner and Monster Summoner.
The basic framework of the two jobs is similar, but monster summoners have several additional features added.
A representative example of this is a drawing that increases the ability level.
The Phantasmal Summoner does not have the characteristics of an illustrated book, nor can it evolve summons. In the first place, it was not a way to create a summoned beast with fragments like I did, but a way to make a contract with a phantom beast sleeping in the encyclopedia.
And is it because there is no drawing?
Instructor Han Yumi was very quick on how to raise leadership skills.
Did you say that you constantly researched and experimented?
As the supply of fragments came to an end and the time to finish was approaching, Instructor Han Yu-mi emphasized again as if reviewing the advice she had given during the search.
“As I said before, you have to train consistently. Don’t be lazy.”
“Yeah. I do it every single day.”
It is said that there is a rule that when a person’s abilities increase through basic training, his leadership ability also increases.
It meant that basic training was an indispensable element for summoners like us who had leadership abilities.
“When the summoned beasts are fighting, don’t step forward if you can, you know?”
I nodded.
It is forbidden for summoners to engage in direct combat.
Summoned creatures will lose the meaning of their existence or something.
Of course I was able to find a compromise.
Possessing and fighting won’t be applicable.
“And also mock battles between summoned beasts…”
Instructor Han Yu-mi did not spare any advice other than that.
different from the first impression.
Enthusiasm for coaching.
Now, he showed himself as an instructor.

“The boss of this dungeon is a top 3-star monster. It would be impossible with the current kkaebi, so I’ll take care of it quickly and come back today.”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who got off the Dire Wolf, said.
Our current location was the center of the dungeon.
‘You can see it here too. How big is it?’
Looking ahead, the figure of the boss in the distance came into view.
This dungeon was possible because there was no separate boss room.
To put it in an analogy, it’s like the concept of a field boss.
Because of this, the landscape was still the same as the grassland area.
‘exactly···. The air feels a bit heavier than anywhere else…’
Even if the landscape remains the same,
It feels like the oxygen in the atmosphere has become rarer, probably because it’s near where the boss lives.
‘however···. Why am I suddenly sleepy…?’
My body suddenly became languid.
As if I had reached the top of the mountain, my ears were deafening, and my vision began to blur.
As if possessed by something, I blankly looked up at the sky.
I see a small cherry blossom petal flying around.
The cherry blossom leaves are getting closer.
As if they were looking for a landing spot.
The moment the rustling cherry blossom leaves calmly settle on my face.
Pod!
Instructor Han Yumi quickly snatched the leaf.
And he patted my back hard, as if telling me to come to my senses.
Only then did my vision clear and my mind jumped.
“It’s a charm skill. Don’t be fooled and stay alert.”
“…ah, yes!”
“If possible, avoid all flying cherry blossom leaves. If you touch it, it will burn you.”
Cloudy smoke was rising from Instructor Han Yumi’s hands holding the cherry blossom leaves.
“sorry···.”
“Sorry what? You’re not alone. Tak Jae-hwan and I were all dazzled at first. The famous president of the association, Naeuri, was no exception. Instead, the enchantment duration is short, and it is easy to release.”
Instructor Han Yumi smiled and looked at the boss again.
I also followed that gaze.
The boss’s appearance was more distinct than before, perhaps because the fascination had been released.
A tree the size of a tree worthy of being called the world tree.
A 3-star top-notch monster.
Cherry Blossom Ent.
Ant-type monster, not Ant, but tree-type monster.
In other words, it was a cherry blossom tree monster.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Tak Jae-hwan fight. Well, it’ll be over soon, so there’s nothing to see.”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan’s entire body was dyed black as he arrived right in front of the boss before he knew it.
Five black horns sprouted from its head, and black wings sprouted from its back.
The legendary Great Demon of Destruction.
It was the final skill of the job, ‘Demonization’.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who soared into the sky with one light flap of his wings, stretched out his arms toward the Ent.
Then the earth’s axis began to tremble.
The ground cracked due to violent vibrations, and jet-black mana erupted from the underground.
As Instructor Tak Jae-hwan massaged the air, the ejected mana formed a lump and wandered around the Ent.
—-This, bastard… Again… dare…!
An Ent that senses danger.
The boy struggled to counterattack.
However, he was restrained by chains made of black mana and was unable to move.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan slowly closed his open palms.
ㅡuhh, uh uh uh!!!!!
The mass of mana strangled Ent’s entire body.
yet.
As soon as he clenched his hands tightly, Ent’s body exploded miserably, and pale pink blood poured out like rain.
It was a one-sided massacre that could not be considered a battle.
‘… that’s it. I will not mess with it from now on.’
Also.
He was a man who did not lack the title of being the strongest in the academy.

Before leaving the dungeon and disbanding.
“I texted the location of the bookstore. It’s been a while since I asked to put an order, so it’s probably enough today. Stop by and get it before you go home.”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan said that and left.
Did you say it was a book containing information about the profession of a monster trainer?
I paid in advance, so I asked Shinsin to take it.
‘Aren’t trainers and summoners very different? But since he said he bought it, I’ll have to read it.’
When I was about to go back
Instructor Han Yu-mi, who had descended earlier, waved her hand while leaning against a tree.
“…Are you waiting for me?”
“yes. If you have time, can I talk to you for a minute?”
It was a pretty serious expression.
Since my schedule only included stopping by the bookstore, I decided to comply with the request.
“Well. I would like to sit over there.”
We looked for a place to have a conversation and found a bench and sat down next to each other.
An awkward atmosphere prevails,
There was a brief silence for a while.
Instructor Han Yu-mi sighed as she crossed her legs before starting to rhyme.
“…I have an older brother who died five years ago.”
Suddenly, a sensitive subject came up.
Why are you talking about your dead brother…?
The atmosphere suddenly became somber.
I don’t know what it is, but let’s hear it first.
“… you must be heartbroken.”
I said it as if I was sorry.
“What is heartache? Do you know why the child died? I had a s*xually transmitted disease, but it was said that it was a medically unexplained disease. In the end, after three days, the whole body rotted and died.”
Why do you feel angry again?
Rather, what is the purpose of telling me this story…
I looked at Instructor Han Yu-mi with a timid look, but she steadfastly continued to say what she had to say.
“My brother had a peculiar taste in feeling s*xual desire for monsters. He was a non-human… And one day, while exploring a dungeon, he said he found a monster he liked and raped him. What is it?”
“···no way?”
“That guess is right. He got a venereal disease from a monster, that idiot.”
As if he were laughing at his dead brother.
Instructor Han Yumi burst out laughing and jumped up from her seat.
“My brother is still an idiot that I can’t understand, but seeing you today, you seem a bit different. I think there is no problem as long as we truly love each other and agree to do so.”
Well···. I still don’t know what I’m talking about.
I opened my eyes and looked up at her.
When our eyes met, Instructor Han Yu-mi added.
“I’m saying this out of desperation, but I’d recommend avoiding it unconditionally as long as you want to burn it. My brother also contracted an STD from a ghoul.”
“I don’t want to do anything with a ghoul either…?”
“Good luck then. Anyway, this is the end of what I have to say.”
So, as she left, she waved a light handshake.
“Then see you next week. Go in and get some rest!”
I scratched my head at Instructor Han Yu-mi, who was absent-mindedly walking away.
“···What?”
