Chapter 320
Chapter 320
Aita Kindergarten is the most prestigious educational facility for lower grades, and it is a place where children from all over the country come together.
However, it is the first time for Velvet to proudly wear an S+ brooch even in such a prestigious family.
“Kyahang-!”
When Velvet, with her hands on her waist proudly, appeared, cheers erupted from all over the place.
“Wow… It’s my first time seeing S+…”
“So, is Velvet stronger than Yuhan?”
“Yes! Isn’t Velvet the strongest in Eita!?”
“You idiot, of course Yuhan counts! Isn’t it all just because the grade is high?”
what a joke of fate
Yuhan was the most promising successor in the Yusu family, where Shin Yooseong’s mother, Yu Minseo, was the head of the household.
On the other hand, Velvet, who was placed as a comparison target, is a dragon born by absorbing the potential of Sardonyx and Shin Yuseong and Adela’s mana.
‘…This guy is S+?’
Yuhan frowns in disbelief and scans the velvet with a gaze that seems too cold to be a child.
‘Merji… I’m going to stare at Velvet so much! It’s so hot!’
However, no matter how eager they were to compete, Velvet never thought of Yuhan as a rival.
‘Sumire’s mom is right! I have a lot of friends here!’
It was just amazing to see so many students of the same age as Eita.

Wow! with a splash! Chew-!
The sound of waves ringing in your ears.
Amy opened her eyes in the cold, shivering from the gust of wind.
“Ummm… is this place?”
thump- thump!
As the ship rocked as if capsized by the tremendous impact of the waves hitting the ferry, Amy’s eyes widened and she looked around urgently.
“Momo, this! Where is this place!?”
Clearly, the place Amy expected was the Isle of Women, but when she woke up, she was on top of the gray sea, covered with sea fog and unable to see anything ahead.
The atmosphere of the sea is not at all strange even if a deep-sea monster suddenly appears and capsizes the boat.
[Quest: Survive somehow to reach the Isle of Women.]
[Details- You are adrift in the rough waters of the King’s Islands with some food and a boat. Survival is your first priority.]
At the explanation of the strange quest, Amy looked at the items on the ship. However, no matter how much I searched the ferry, the only thing I found was a few pieces of beef jerky and a bottle of mineral water.
“Is this all?”
Gulp-
Amy swallowed and looked around again. However, there was no trace of land, let alone an island. All I could see was the endless gray expanse of the sea and the crashing waves.
‘…What’s going on here, can I return alive!?’
Amy looked at the sight and thought. How bad do you have to be lucky to end up in a place like this? Will I be able to step on land alive?
‘okay! Could it be that you dropped it in a place like this to die of starvation? Even if it looks like this now, it will arrive soon!’
However, all I could do now was somehow roll the happy circuit and think positively.
* * *
Six hours, like six years, have passed since Amy drifted away like that.
Above all, the biggest problem that came to Amy as the night deepened was the biting cold.
Hee hee hee hee hee hee!
Even though the temperature has dropped like this, the wind is so strong that it blows all your hair.
“It’s cold…”
Rummaging –
Amy rummaged in her pockets for something to warm herself up.
“Ah, there was this…”
Amy’s gaze stopped at the simple tent she had prepared for use when staying overnight in the woods.
“Hehe, I should have opened it sooner…”
Amy, who had set up a tent on top of the ferry and took shelter, barely escaped the danger of freezing to death.
However, avoiding the wind did not improve the situation. A bottle of mineral water in the bag had already been drunk, and no matter how much I searched my pockets, the only food I found was a few candies that I didn’t know when I put them in, and beef jerky in the bag.
‘Because you never know what’s going to happen to jerky. Let’s save it for now.’
Since survival depended on it now, no matter how much the stomach growled, Amy endured it.
“…for now, I’m going to sleep.”
* * *
16 hours adrift.
Coming out of the tent, Amy clutched at her hungry stomach as she looked at the brightly rising sun.
“If this continues… I will starve to death soon.”
In this extreme situation, the studies learned at the academy were surprisingly not helpful. Amy knew how to deal with level 3 monsters efficiently, but she didn’t memorize how to get food when she was adrift at sea.
‘Even if it’s jerky…’
Wouldn’t this be enough to save a lot?
Wouldn’t it be better to eat now rather than starve to death? Amy, who was looking at the beef jerky with drained eyes, suddenly remembered a few days ago.
[If you haven’t had dinner, would you like to have Amy with you?]
[Mine is fine~ Maybe I ate too much, it looked like it was steamed! I’m not going to eat dinner tonight!]
The image of herself not eating the curry prepared by Sumire.
[What do you eat so deliciously?]
[Kyahang~ Is this? The cake was in the fridge! Do you want to be a muggle?]
[I’m done. I ate it before.]
The image of herself refusing the red velvet cake that Velvet gave her.
“No black. Please eat…”
Why the hell was that?
Why didn’t I eat it then?
If I had eaten then, wouldn’t I be a little less hungry now?
“I want to eat… Sumire’s curry. Sweet cake…”
However, no matter how much Amy regrets now, the food she left has not returned. All Amy has at best is dried jerky and a few candies.
“Ugh…”
Amy looked at the gray sea with her saggy shoulders.
Woo-wook,
he shouted, clenching his fists.
“okay! I can’t stay still like this! You have to survive somehow!”
Amy had better ideas than shoving at most a handful of jerky into her mouth.
That is fishing by hanging a piece of beef jerky at the end of a whip.
“If I catch a few fish, it will be better than now!”
How long had it been since Amy started fishing with such aspirations?
Amy, who lost her whip in the sea and wasted endless hours, suddenly thought about it.
‘…was this crazy?’
In an ocean this large, what are the odds that a fish will come near the surface and find its jerky?
Are there really fish in this eerie gray sea?
‘I don’t think I could eat the jerky I used as bait
because it was soaked in salt water…’ Amy was miserable as she fished with the jerky attached to her whip to catch fish in the open sea.
I was contemplating whether to stop doing this stupid thing now.
flinch-!
I bit the tip of the whip in order to eat something jerky.
Amy’s whip didn’t have a hook attached to it like a real fishing rod, so it was important to hook it up the moment the fish bit.
Even though Amy needed reaction speed and strength impossible for ordinary people, Amy is a proud hunter belonging to Gaon’s Class A.
“I asked aaaaa-!”
Feeling the heavy weight, Amy pulled up the whip with great speed thinking that it was now.
with a splash-!
A fish the size of a forearm was really brought to the sea by the whip.
flop! flop! flop!
As the fish caught in the jerky and climbed onto the ferry flapped vigorously as if begging for help, Amy knelt down and looked up at the sky.
“Catch-”
I let out a breath I had been holding back.
“Diahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Roared like a lion.
“okay-!”
If you think about it, everything in life is like that.
“I was right!”
There are times when moments of frustration come from unexpected obstacles.
“This is right!”
There are times when you want to give up because no matter how long you wait, the results don’t come out.
However, thanks to drifting, which I thought was the worst, I came to know the importance of food and caught fish in a long wait.
“You don’t have to starve anymore!”
Amy put the fish on a skewer on the ferry and carefully lit a fire with mana.
Hwareuk-!
Then, watching the fish gradually browning with the fat inside it, he smiled, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.
Of course, for a while.
Amy munched on the grilled fish so deliciously, without even seasonings such as salt.
The grilled fish I ate like that was a dish I wouldn’t normally pay attention to, but it was so delicious.
‘okay. Maybe…’
In the long race of life, aren’t the moments that you thought were misfortune a necessary part?
Because there is hunger, there is fullness.
As there is an uphill, there is a downhill.
Amy raised her head and looked up at the sky. The sunny sun had already fallen and the sky had turned a gloomy color. The sun went down on a whim and the cold came back, but Amy wasn’t in a bad mood.
“Rather…”
Tuduk-tuk-
smiled brightly as he looked at the raindrops slowly pouring from the sky.
“be empty! it is raining!”
Normally, she would have hated the sudden rain, saying it was damp, but to Amy, who was drifting in the sea, this was like the rain of life.
Chajak – good!
Amy thought as she spread a bunch of glass bottles for collecting on the bottom of the ferry.
even at the same moment.
sadness for someone
It can be a joy to someone.
The joys and sorrows that come to you in life depend on your heart accepting them.
Even though she was drifting on the sea risking her life and death, Amy, who felt a lot in a short time, smiled with satisfaction.
“okay. I am happy now.”
No matter how long the storm ends, a sunny day always comes.
