[ This broadcast has ended. ]
A screen displaying a concise message with some noise.
“Huutt… Haa…”
S-rank Hunter Shin Yuna stretched out thoroughly.
As expected, today’s Parang broadcast was fruitful. Tomorrow’s broadcast will surely be beneficial too.
Since the broadcast just ended, it will take some time for the community to stir up rumors and heat things up.
Yuna headed to her workshop.
Her current location is Pohang. After finishing the move last night, Shin Yuna now lives in the same town as Parang.
‘Hun…ter? Ah, is that the same job as that Han Siwoo guy? Oh dear, poor young lass must be having a tough time. Here, have a bite of this. Wow, you eat so neatly. Here, have this too…’
She had already greeted the local elders. They were all wonderful people.
“Wow, you eat well. How come you’re so skinny? You need to eat more to grow tall. This is the Sikhye I made at home…”
She had never eaten that much in her life.
Well, whatever.
“Hmm~ Huhum~”
She hummed a tune as she made her way to the workshop. It was lunchtime, but she felt she couldn’t eat at all.
Now, she had something more important to handle than ever.
Drrr—
As Yuna stood in front of the workshop, the door opened on its own.
Among the neatly arranged creations everywhere as always, in the most noticeable spot…
There lay a scroll, enshrined as if it were a treasure, covered in a glass case whose origin was unknown.
Yuna caressed the glass case like it was a luscious fruit.
So many things had happened thus far.
From the initial submarine broadcast to her connection with Parang. A lot had transpired in such a short time since that meeting.
A submarine created over two weeks? Abandoned.
An unmanned submarine created with renewed spirit? Indefinitely halted.
Broadcast equipment made by summoning 13 crafting Hunters? Used twice and discarded.
But!!!
‘Today is different!!’
Yuna clenched her fist.
The item she obtained by allowing Silo’s not-quite surveillance instead of abandoning the broadcasting equipment.
Now, with just this scroll, the biggest obstacle in the way of Yuna’s fiery passion for the deep sea can be… still a bit left to go. But still!
She could eliminate the greatest problem.
Carefully, she opened the glass case and grasped the scroll.
At that moment, a notification window appeared before her.
[ Would you like to use the skill scroll? ]
[ ! Warning ! A conflict with existing skills is expected. Acquiring this skill may result in the loss of existing skills. ]
[ Y / N ]
“I will use it.”
Then, the entire skill scroll shone with light and seeped into Yuna’s body.
The information of the skill was engraved in her blood.
Yuna closed her eyes and savored the sensation for a moment.
It felt as if cool water was sweeping over her entire body.
Swish—
A sunlit sandy beach and the crashing waves.
For a moment, she felt as if she had actually gone to the seaside.
Such vivid ‘branding’ sensations only come from S-rank skills.
Eventually, the illusion she was floating in ended.
Yuna opened her eyes.
A fleeting blue radiance lingered in her gaze before disappearing.
She smiled at the window that appeared before her.
[ You have acquired the skill ‘Waterproof Sanity’. ]
[ Viewing Skill Information. ]
[ Waterproof Sanity (S) ]
[ You cannot possess or acquire other mental barrier skills besides this skill. ]
[ Strongly resists mental damage inflicted by targets underwater. While the caster is underwater, they strongly resist mental damage. If both the target and caster are underwater, mental attacks are completely nullified. ]
Along with the filling sensation, she felt something being drawn out from her body.
[ Skill ‘Inner Peace (A)’ has been obliterated due to conflict. ]
[ Skill ‘Mental Firewall (A)’ has been obliterated due to conflict. ]
[ Skill ‘Calmness (B)’ has been obliterated due to conflict. ]
[ Skill ‘Brain Filter (C)’ has been obliterated due to conflict. ]
Skills that had once provided her solid protection.
But to the current Yuna, they were just skills that could not block even the allure of Galecus.
At the same time, she was startled.
It was due to the description of the skill she had just acquired.
‘Strongly resists mental damage inflicted by targets underwater.’
‘Strongly resists mental damage while the caster is underwater.’
None of the descriptions she had seen for any mental barrier skills before ever included the phrase “strongly resists.”
Moreover, immunity.
A term she had never seen even once in the status window thus far.
Yuna casually opened the skill information window and briefly scanned the ‘Acquisition Conditions’ section.
[ ‘Waterproof Sanity’ Skill Acquisition Conditions ]
[ 1. Acquired through a scroll ]
[ 2. … ]
“Ow….”
Yuna considered that the Yu Parang Hunter probably didn’t acquire this through a scroll.
Then it meant that the conditions listed here had been met.
A chill ran down Yuna’s spine.
She resolved firmly not to turn Parang into an enemy under any circumstances.
How on earth did she manage to pull out a skill with such insane performance from a scroll?
She was once again reminded of Silo Corporation’s capabilities.
Had they truly drawn blood from Parang?
Well, it was not a question that had an answer through contemplation. Yuna shook off her lingering thoughts and headed to her bedroom, flopping onto the bed.
It was about time for the rumors about Parang’s broadcast to start circulating.

[ Yu Parang <-- The reason why this dude is a broadcast genius ] [67] [ Seriously, Silo!!!! ] [77] [ Is there still someone who thinks they’re submerged? LOL ] [64] [ Today’s Yu Parang Hate Movie ] [154] [ Found the subordinate account ] [22] The community was, as expected, ablaze with excitement. Yuna clicked the post with the most interesting title with a satisfied expression. [ Today’s Yu Parang Hate Movie ] [ Author: Glowing Monster ] (A video showing Parang swiftly dispatching monsters with cold and sharp complaints. The editing adds a layer of visual aesthetics to the footage.) Who the hell requested this hate? Damn it, I can’t sleep because of you!! Uwoo... Ttuyat! - Ttuyattuyat... N Ttuyat... Uwoo... N Ttuya... Ttuyat... N What are these people doing? N (Dazed) - Wow, I really like this stuff, dammit! - But seriously, hahahaha, the action is so good though! N Like, seriously, it's better than most Hunter fights, LOL! N It's probably because there's no limit on movement underwater. N But that's also the case for flying types, right? N How do you match those guys with Wyverns and all? N The ambush capture? LOL!

N There are still people who haven’t watched Yu Parang’s broadcast? - The original is said to be 20 meters long; what do you even grow, LOL. N Oh damn, really? N (Is this real?)

While forcibly tearing off the connections, the zipper has somehow come off completely.) Why can’t I take this off? What do I do, damn it! - What’s this weirdo doing?

N Why are you asking me that, damn it? N Just go to a big branch of the Hunter Association and ask them to remove the option. N You want me to go to Seoul wearing this???? N Just wear it for life, LOL! [ Seriously, Silo!!!! ] [ Author: Dajin Parang Mushroom ] Damn it, allow me to zoom in on the third-person view!!! - So upvoted. - So upvoted. - So upvoted. - It’s really annoying when all the decent angles are blocked too. As soon as you try to see it from a nice angle, it turns transparent, annoying! N What’s the point of watching a monster broadcast if I’m looking at a Hunter? N This guy must not watch the broadcast. N He’s probably not seen it before. N Honestly, I don’t think he watches it at all. N Just kick him out of here. N Damn it, is this the Yu Parang gallery or the Hunter gallery? LOL! [ Found the subordinate account ] [ Author: ㅇㅇ ] (A GIF of Galecus's egg being gently touched) It doesn’t exist, lol. Just look at the gross pictures. - Gross pictures where? - Subordinate account, where? - Gross pictures where? - Damn it, everyone’s fine now, it’s hilarious! LOL “Hmm.” Yuna quietly gazed at the GIF of Galecus's egg. It didn’t feel like anything special. Noticing that no notification window popped up, it seemed the Waterproof Sanity did not activate. Yuna had somehow adapted to Parang’s broadcast. She had even witnessed the Hydra execution scene in today’s broadcast. ‘Wait.’ This skill could also be used while watching Parang’s broadcast. Yuna gained unexpected benefits from an unthought-of place. # Meanwhile, Yu Parang. She lay in the tank in her bedroom, fiddling with her phone. Ping!
“Hmm?”
A sudden text arrived.
Well, texts usually arrive out of the blue.
Checking SiloTalk, she saw it was a message from Vertea.
– Parang, about your broadcast.
– Can I come as a guest tomorrow?
