Hunter Academy's Battle God

[YuSung! Your waist is bent! How can you extend your fist with a posture like that?]

Shin YuSung was used to correcting the postures of others.

[Tsk! Your balance is off!]

It was all because his master, Yu WonHak, had repeatedly corrected his posture.

For EunHa, Shin YuSung's touch was too sudden.

As YuSung's hands touched EunAh's waist, she stiffened.

"Your h-hand…"

EunAh's face reddened at the unexpected touch. Even in her confusion, YuSung kept kindly explaining the movements to her.

"EunAh, I told you to straighten your fist so that you can control your reach to the target."

He grabbed EunAh's fist and corrected her posture. EunAh wanted to say something, but YuSung was too serious.

"Where you can punch and how far you can punch will determine if you win.”

YuSung smiled brightly and then made Kim EunAh punch the palms of his hands.

Tap.

"If you're this close, the punch will be weak."

Vroom-

Shin YuSung grabbed Kim EunAh's arm by the elbow and made her extend her fist.

"If it's this far, it won't reach."

Every time YuSung's touched EunAh, she trembled a bit but didn't want it to make it visible.

YuSung was correcting her posture out of a pure passion for teaching her—she knew very well that he didn't have any other intentions.

'This guy is quite dense when it comes to things like that…'

YuSung probably didn't know women very well because he'd spent most of his life on the Martial Spirits' Mountain.

"In a fight, distance determines whether your attack lands or if you can dodge someone else’s attacks.”

YuSung slapped EunAh's thighs, and her legs reflexively bent.

"Eek?!"

Her face had gone completely red, but Shin YuSung hadn't noticed that.

"That's why you can use your legs to advance or retreat."

He was still focused on explaining posture to her.

YuSung grabbed EunAh's shoulders and lowered her posture a bit; then, he lowered himself and helped her bend her knees. 

"If you're aiming lower, you just have to bend your knees, right?" Shin YuSung explained with a bright smile on his face. 

As his hands approached her waist again, EunAh moved back in surprise.

"W-wait…!"

EunAh seemed quite flustered, and she looked at YuSung with tears in her eyes as she let out heavy breaths.

She turned her head to look away and mumbled, "I s-suffer a lot because I’m ticklish… so d-don't touch my waist…"

There was a huge building called the Five Lounge at the center of the Five Islands.

It was a place for the hunters that went to the Five Islands, but it wasn't that all hunters received the same accommodations. 

The bronze card allowed you to access the restaurants on the 1st floor and provided you with a small room, the silver card provided you with a wider variety of benefits besides that, the gold card gave you a room comparable to a hotel's suite room and you also received VIP treatment, and then there was the rare black card.

[Verifying black card…]

[No.33 verified.]

[The Five Lounge welcomes member Kim EunAh.]

[Your assigned lodging is 5B.]

[Current lodging member: Hanajima Sumire]

EunAh put away her card and spoke to YuSung. "Sumire is already in. Should we go up right now?"

"Yes. I'm hungry, so let's stop training and go up."

"Don't mention training in the lodging. Just hearing that word… makes my body feel sticky," Kim EunAh complained and then sniffed her body. She'd gone through so much that her T-shirt was completely soaked in sweat.

"Let's go. I want to take a shower," EunAh said with a disgusted expression. 

Shin YuSung smiled.

Ting!

They entered the elevator, and it was only then that the other hunters in the lobby began murmuring to themselves.

"Those kids have a black card?"

"Don't you know them? One's the disciple of the Fist King. According to the rumors, even the Association President…"

"What a solid path. How envious."

Although the VIP was Kim EunAh, most people focused on Shin YuSung—which proved how famous YuSung had become. Other hunters viewed him with envy and jealousy.

'That kid…'

Among them, a brown-haired girl fell into thought as she looked at the closed elevator.

'He's connected to YuWol by blood, right?'

Although they looked the same age, she thought of YuSung as a kid.

'Shin HaYoon, Yuwol, and even that kid? Fufu. What an… interesting family.'

She’d lived a long time, so maybe that was why she knew all about the hunters’ world, including things relating to the Shin-oh family.

'Before the leader or Yu MinSeo put their eyes on him, I should…'

Everyone in the business knew that the Shin-oh families—Yu MinSeo and Shin KangYoon—were lusting over Shin YuSung.

Yu WonHak was the only thing that kept them from making a move.

'Is it still too early?'

The brown-haired girl made a mischievous smile and bit her lips.

[Verifying black card…]

[5B verification complete!]

[Welcome. There are currently 3 members assigned to the lodging.]

The Five Lounge's installations would be the envy of even the most luxurious hotels, but what dragged Shin YuSung's attention was the delicious aroma of food he smelled as soon as he opened the door.

'As expected of Sumire's cooking…'

The food was definitely delicious—YuSung was sure of that based only on what he could smell. Maybe it was due to the training, but YuSung was feeling extremely gluttonous.

"Ah! EunAh! YuSung! You came back sooner than expected!" Sumire, who'd been resting on the bed, waved her hand.

"Sumire!" Kim EunAh rushed toward Sumire and hugged her.

"YuSung’s training style is completely psychotic!"

Although it was easy for Shin YuSung, it was too harsh for Kim EunAh. Thanks to that, all of her muscles were screaming.

Although she hadn't made it visible while it was only the two of them, it seemed like EunAh had found the training difficult.

"He made me march with a tire attached to me… I even climbed up a cliff with my bare hands! I thought I was going to die…"

Unlike her usual self, EunAh was complaining.

'Cute…'

As she heard EunAh complaining, Sumire thought of her little siblings in Japan. For some reason, it felt familiar.

"Fufu. Ms. EunAh, it was really hard, right?" Sumire stroked Kim EunAh's head.

"But even though it might have been hard…" she said in a sweet and soft voice that sunk into EunAh as if it was being driven into her. "Miss EunAh, you're doing a great job."

"S-Sumire…" EunAh's voice trembled as if she were moved.

YuSung broke the atmosphere to ask about food. "Sumire? What's on today's menu…?" He could smell the well-cooked pork. 

Still hugging EunAh, Sumire looked at YuSung. "Ah! Today's menu is… food from Okinawa! It's where I used to live in Japan."

Sumire looked at both of them and then said in a strict voice, "But go take a shower before we eat! I'll take care of preparing the food."

Room 5B could only be accessed with a black card, so it had quite luxurious amenities—there was a bathtub you could soak in and a separate bathroom as well. 

"Then I'll take the bathroom. I don't want to soak in water for no reason. Doesn't that seem too much like what an old man would do?" EunAh's words were hard to understand. 

Sumire looked at Kim EunAh as if those words troubled her. "Ah, but isn't the b-bathtub also nice…? Although it isn't a hot spring…"

"Do you like hot springs? Should I buy you one?" Kim EunAh said it as if it were nothing while tossing her socks away. 

Sumire covered her mouth and laughed. "Haha! How fun!"

To think that she'd buy someone a hot spring as a present—it seemed like Sumire had taken Kim EunAh's words as a joke.

'There's a chance that EunAh isn't joking at all…'

When you considered how wealthy EunAh was, it wasn't impossible at all. There wouldn’t even be anything strange about EunAh gifting her an entire lodging with a hot spring built in.

"I'm serious. It isn't that expensive, after all."

"Come on~ Miss EunAh~ Don't joke~ Okay, then! Both of you… take your time to clean yourselves and come back, okay?"

Sumire confidently brushed off Kim EunAh's words as a joke. 

YuSung looked at the two of them getting along, a smile on his face.
