Episode 79 A
refreshing morning.
Sumire rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand like a cat, then slowly opened her eyes while yawning. Blurred vision at first. As Sumire gradually came to her senses, the first thing she saw was Shin Yoo-seong’s face.
“...uh?”
Sumire spat out a death sentence.
“Uh uh...”
Sumire let go of Shin Yoo-seong’s arm, who was hurriedly hugging her. Hurry up – Shin Yoo-seong wakes up again at Sumire’s sudden action.
“...Ah, you woke up. Sumire.”
Shin Yuseong also yawned. Perhaps thanks to not being vigilant, the long-awaited sound sleep. Sumire ran a hand through her messy hair and smiled shyly.
“Ah ha ha... I’m sorry. Were you uncomfortable?”
Shin Yuseong shook his head at Sumire’s worried question.
“are you okay. Rather than that... Shall we prepare for the attack soon? As I said, this dungeon is level 5.”
Yooseong Shin said in a serious voice, tying her hair with a ribbon.
“It’s a different level from the 4th class I’ve dealt with so far.”
Level 5 is a dungeon that even the top hunters challenge. However, Shin Yoo-seong and Sumire, as representatives of Gaon, were recognized for their skills even though they were students, and were challenging the attack.
Wrong. Wrong.
Sumire tilted her head at the strange sound she heard from behind.
“Oishii....(Delicious...)”
Snacks made of rice that I didn’t know when I woke up. He was eating rice crackers with a crunch. Sugoro eats a lot with his cute little body. Sumire quietly picked up Sugoro and carried it outside the room.
“Then let’s get ready right away!?”
Sumire smiled as if nothing had happened. Shin Yooseong nodded.

The portal zone of Choten Academy.
Sakura looked at the giant portals lined up in a row and admired them.
“It’s our school, but we have a lot of money. Right~ Seiji?”
Sakura laughed when Seiji didn’t answer. Seiji said as if to listen.
“Isshin, he really didn’t even come to pick me up? I mean, there’s a darker side to it than it looks.”
“Haha, Isshin too... will have his own difficulties.”
“What would it be?”
Sakura looked around with a puzzled look on her face. The portal zone is a symbol of a well-equipped academy. Students could move to all kinds of dungeons at school thanks to the portals.
Thus, the tradition of Choten Academy was born. Choten’s first-year students lined up to greet Seiji and Sakura.
– 頂点になれ-! (Become the pinnacle-!)
Students shouting loudly under the guidance of each class president. Seiji walked to the front of the portal with a confident step.
Bubbly.
The sound of footsteps coming from the aisle across the street. Seiji smiled and looked at the source of the sound.
“Here!”
Sage waved vigorously.
Sakura whispered to Seiji as he watched Shin Yoosung and Sumire walking slowly.
“The ability to beat Adela. Will it work in dungeons too? Can I trust you in the 5th grade dungeon~? Both of them are F grade.”
After saying that, Sakura narrowed her eyes and smiled like a fox. Seiji replied with a smile as well.
“Doubts only eat each other. More than one party now. I have no choice but to believe.”
“Hey~ You’re really not funny.”
4 party members gathered like that.
Choten’s lead teacher, Yamada, gave a brief explanation in Korean while fiddling with her glasses.
“The destination is the 5th grade dungeon, the Castle of Dreams. Deal with the boss, the succubus, and hope everyone returns safely.”
Geeeeing!!
A portal that emits a tremendous sound and shimmers blue light. The newly formed 4-member Korean-Japanese party went into the portal.
‘...Something’s strange here.’
Shin Yoo-seong, who has a sensitive sense, could tell. The thick mana unique to the Castle of Dreams was evenly spread throughout all places, including objects.
‘...A place like this is only maintained by a 5th level boss?’
Shin Yuseong had heard from King Kwon. Most of the dungeons assimilated with reality represent the boss’s rank.
4th grade. 5th grade. 6th grade. 7th grade.
Bosses appeared in appropriate dungeons in proportion to their strength.
There was something strange about the dreamy castle Shin Yuseong saw. Even just looking at the concentration of mana in the air, it was absolutely not at the 5th level.
‘Since the association has investigated. It is an obvious fact that the boss guarding the Castle of Dreams is a succubus... Then how...’
But no matter how much I thought about it, the question remained unanswered. This was a step that required investigation.
* * *
The first room he arrived in was not a monster. Placed in a beautiful, well-decorated room was a stone tablet with an unknown language written on it.
“...uh?”
Sumire’s right hand emits purple light as if it were reacting to a slate. Sumire stopped walking and looked at the slate.
“It’s okay?”
Something was definitely wrong.
The mana emitted by the slate was very similar to the power of Sumire’s attributes.
uh- uh!
“This one? I can’t stand it...”
Jeebeok.
The closer Sumire got, the stronger the mana of the slate resonated. A lower probability than the probability of obtaining an artifact. Sumire had heard it at first glance.
‘It’s nonsense...’
But all the signs pointed to only one possibility.
“Just tap!”
Shin Yuseong’s skeleton pointed at the slate next to Sumire. He seemed to be cheering me on, asking me to approach the stone slab.
Whoop-!
The sound the slate made grew louder, and Sumire’s hands trembled at the resonance of Mana.
‘Something is strange...’
Sumire’s power is black magic.
This boss, the succubus, was nothing more than a familiar summoned by black magic. In other words, wielding this kind of power is the realm of witches who serve succubuses.
There was something strange about Sumire’s different powers reacting in the castle of dreams.
‘But... I can’t stop!’
But Sumire seemed possessed. Sumire’s hand was drawn to the slate as if it were fate.
widely.
And when Sumire put her hand on the slate, everything became clear.
saaaa!!
Purple light emitted from the stone slab and Sumire’s hand. Sumire closed her eyes to the bright light. Then slowly opened my eyes.
[Interpretation of the language using the information stored in the pocket.]
[Interpretation finished.]
[The object is (Witch’s Fragment – Laplace’s Slate).]
What I see in front of me is a hologram coming out of the pocket.
gulp.
Nervous, Sumire swallowed.
[The power contained in the witch’s fragment is recognizing the ability of the awakened person.]
[Calculating the assimilation rate...]
‘...I did it.’
Unexpected development.
Sumire wiggled her fingers and broke out in a cold sweat.
