To be honest, it hadn’t always been like this.
Lee Yoo-ri had simply presented efficient ways to survive on the deserted island and provided clear guidelines.
asures against insects.
How to find water.
How to gather materials from nature.
How to build structures.
Hygiene and sanitation.
And how to distinguish edible from inedible things, among other basic and obvious things.
But now, the situation was...
’They’ve all gone crazy...!’
"Hurrah!!!!!"
"Shield Village, hurrah!!!!"
"Chief Lee Yoo-ri, hurrah!!!!"
The wild-looking students, covered in blood, stood on top of the fallen monster, Rhino, each holding a primitive weapon and cheering.
To be fair, the monster had put up a good fight.
Yes, it had tried hard.
A house-sized body, sharp four horns that could cut through buildings, and a fearless, head-on approach that truly showcased the might of a giant monster.
But as the saying goes, there’s no match for numbers.
Lee Yoo-ri had taken the aggro by using her skills at the front, and the students, regardless of their positions, had attacked with their weapons.
No matter how tough the monster was, it stood no chance.
As Lee Yoo-ri looked at the fallen Rhino with pity in her eyes.
"We have once again defended our village!"
The cadet with orange hair, Lee Min-young, began her speech in front of the other cadets.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
"Wowwwww!!!!!"
The surrounding cadets stomped their feet and cheered.
"Crazy bitches."
The cadets were acting like caven, making a ruckus.
Yoo-ri Lee watched the scene, unable to stop the sigh that rose from within her.
’How did it co to this...?’
It probably started when she took in a cadet with orange hair.
— Yoo-ri Lee, let’s create a group.
— Hmm? Group...?
— Yes, I think the leader should get the top grade in this mid-term evaluation. Don’t you, as a leader, want to lead us to the top?
The orange-haired cadet spoke to her with a serious gaze.
— Eh? Well, yeah. I guess it would be nice.
Yoo-ri nodded reluctantly.
... Was it really necessary to go this far, even though she had almost been killed by a monster?
To be honest, she had agreed lightly at the ti.
In fact, she thought that even if this one cadet tried to do sothing, it wouldn’t make much difference. There was also a small part of her that thought that if things went well, she could later join a party with Jin Yuha and offer so small help.
But that was underestimating the madness of Lee Min-young, the orange-haired cadet.
Lee Min-young.
An obstinate person who always seeks the right path without an ounce of doubt, insisting on the righteous way. A stifling yet heroic girl.
Once, she was a woman with such strong convictions.
In fact, she had challenged Jin Yuha countless tis in the sparring classes at the Academy, and had been defeated countless tis as well.
She had already been broken long ago.
In other words, she had made countless attempts to defeat Jin Yuha sohow, and her noble spirit had been worn down, turning her into a follower of an unorthodox path!
Whether it was fortunate or not, she had a sense of basic courtesy.
She had the awareness that ’if you receive a favor, you repay it!’
But her way of repaying was infinitely close to a religious one.
From then on, Lee Min-young began to gather the cadets who were struggling to adapt to the mid-term evaluation, one by one.
— You’re hungry, can’t sleep, and it’s tough, right? Here, have so water for now.
And she went to them, offering water and food.
— Hey, why don’t we all work together for this test? To be honest, we can’t compete with monsters like Kang Do-hee, Shin Se-hee, and Jin Yuha.
Having been defeated by Jin Yuha countless tis, her words had a strange persuasiveness.
— If you lend us your strength, I can’t promise comfort, but I’ll make sure you get so sleep. I won’t fill your stomach, but I won’t let you go hungry. And I won’t quench your thirst, but I’ll make sure you don’t go thirsty.
Lee Min-young whispered sweetly to the cadets she had gathered. However, her proposal was too ager. It would have been better to join Shin Se-hee’s camp and live a more human life.
That’s why Lee Min-young thought,
What if we turn this painful test into a ga?
’If you let go of everything, you’ll be comfortable. We can do things our way.’
Having never won a duel against Jin Yuha, she knew this all too well.
— Drink while you listen. Hey, do we really have to go through this mid-term evaluation so painfully? Why don’t we just think of it as a little break?
— A break? But... this exam is really important...
— You can do well on the exam. Just follow our leader, Lee Yoo-ri.
— Lee Yoo-ri as our leader? But Yoo-ri is also from Utopia.
— Hehe. Don’t worry. Our leader won’t abandon us. She said she wants to get first place with us.
— Really?
— Yeah, and when will we ever get a chance to live like this, throwing away civilization and becoming like savages on an uninhabited island? Let’s just let go of everything. It’ll be more fun than you think.
Throw away civilization and return to the primitive!
Lee Min-young’s suggestion was, at first glance, insane.
But as the saying goes, one person doing it makes them crazy, but when many do it, it becos a culture.
— That’s a really stupid idea... let’s do it!
Hunger, thirst, and the fear of monster attacks.
The attempt to overco these through pleasure—a conceptual approach—spread like wildfire across the field.
This was the origin story of the Shield Village, with Chief Lee Yoo-ri as its founder.
However, the problem was that Lee Yoo-ri didn’t understand any of this at all.
’There’s not a single sane person among them...’
Yoo-ri shook her head at the situation, which had grown far beyond her control.
They had already expanded their territory and even set up a shop within their managent area.
So they could buy various items and live a sowhat civilized life, even if it wasn’t as comfortable as at the Academy.
But they only used the shop to hunt monsters and earn coins.
They were self-sufficient in everything else, following the thods Yoo-ri had taught them like a bible!
As a result, while Shin Se-hee had the most coins individually, Yoo-ri’s Shield Village had the most collectively.
"Waaaaaaah! Long live the Shield Village!!!!"
With the cadets’ cheers ringing in the background, Lee Min-young, her face stiff, approached Yoo-ri Lee and knelt on one knee.
"Chief."
She said, "The ti you promised has co."
"...Promise?"
"Yes, in two days. An unavoidable war will break out. You must prepare for it from now on."
"..."
Yoo-ri suppressed a sigh and tightly closed her eyes.

Gulp.
When she realized sothing was wrong, it was too late to refuse. Sophia silently regretted her belated decision.
It had already been several days since she started training with Jin Yuha.
For her, there was no reason to refuse to stay by Jin Yuha’s side and watch over him. Of course, how often does a devoted fan get the chance to witness their favorite idol’s every move?
Originally, hardcore fans who deeply adore a single person always harbor the desire to throw away their own lives and only follow their idol.
But they suppress it because it’s against the law and their idol might be uncomfortable.
So, the hardships and trials she faced when she first landed on the uninhabited island had beco the trials she had to go through to et Jin Yuha.
But even so, this was too much!
Her current situation was like a fan participating in their idol’s schedule, receiving vocal training together, and attending CF shoots and premieres together. No matter how much she adored him, where was there a fan who stood on stage with their idol?!
Moreover, Jin Yuha was not just an ordinary celebrity, but a hunter. A hunter who risked his life to fight monsters!
She had only intended to quietly support him from the sidelines, never imagining that she would be directly involved in the trials he faced.
Sophia made a sullen face.
’I said I’d do anything, but this is too much!’
Kerururur...
Sophia’s pupils shook as she faced countless goblins.
She clutched the bow Jin Yuha had given her, without arrows, as if it were a lifeline, but her trembling body couldn’t be helped.
’Oh no, I’m going to die! I’m really going to die...!!!’
Sophia glared resentfully at Jin Yuha, who was looking down at her from above.
But Jin Yuha remained calm and shouted,
"You can do it, Sophia! If you survived my training, you can definitely take them on!"
Her face flushed at his words of encouragent.
From the hellish training until now.
She had heard those words countless tis, but they still had an effect on her.
’...Hmm? Is that so? If you say so, Yuha, then it must be true.’
Sophia was still too weak when it ca to Jin Yuha.
