Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Familiar Vs. Familar
The training session finally came to an end. Sui was panting and looked tired, but there was a spark of determination in his eyes.
[Camera's blocked, Host.]
The system announced, and in an instant, Seojun teleported in front of Sui. He kicked off the nearest Silver-Scale Crocodon, sending it crashing into a tree with a loud thud.
Sui tried to catch his breath, "K-Kyuu… Master! How did I do?" His voice was shaky, and he could barely speak properly after all the training.
"You did great" Seojun encouraged, giving Sui a gentle pat on the head. "Your dodging improved a lot."
"Really?" Sui perked up, a little excited despite his exhaustion. "I-I thought I messed up when I tripped earlier kyuu…"
"Everyone makes mistakes, Sui. What matters is that you kept going and learned from them," Seojun replied, smiling. "You dodged all the attacks."
"Kyuu! I'll get even better next time!" Sui declared, his energy returning slightly. "Can we train more? I want to get stronger!"
"Of course, but we need to take a break first," Seojun said, noticing how tired Sui was. "You've done enough for today. Let's eat something and rest."
Sui nodded, a little disappointed but understanding. "Kyuu Okay, Master. But I promise I'll train harder next time kyuu! How can i protect Master when I became weak!"
As Seojun and Sui were about to rest, they suddenly heard loud laughter, they turned to see three people walking toward them, their hands filled with shining mithril ore.
"Look at that pathetic slime! Are you serious? A slime as a familiar?!" one of the mockers jeered, pointing at Sui and bursting into laughter again.
"Yeah! What a joke! What kind of training is that supposed to be?" another person chimed in, crossing his arms. "You really think that thing can fight?"
The third person stepped closer, smirking. "You should just give up. Slimes are useless! I can't believe you're wasting your time on that."
"Useless Master even had a Useless familiar" the first one added, shaking his head. "You could at least get a proper familiar. What's next? A pet rock?"
As the three people continued to laugh, Sui's eyes narrowed, and he looked ready to pounce. '
They're mocking my master Kyuu!'
But then he remembered Seojun's words: "Kyuu Master said that Don't get worked up at simple mocking Kyuu"
"Just give up and leave the fighting to the real familiars. You're embarrassing yourself!" the second one shouted, laughing even harder.
Seojun stood quietly, He thought about what to do with those three but decided not to do anything. He wanted to see if Sui would listen to his earlier advice. A small smile formed on his lips as he observed Sui shaking, trying hard not to attack.
Good job, Sui,
he thought, feeling proud of his familiar's restraint.
"Kyuu! Master, I want to fight them!" Sui exclaimed, jumping up and down in excitement.
Seojun patted Sui's head gently. "You did a good job not getting affected by them," he praised.
"Because you said it, Master, kyuu! But it's so hard!" Sui replied, his teary eyes betraying his frustration. Seojun realized that Sui was similar to a kid who got worked up easily.
Then, one of the them stepped forward, smirking. "Then I select your slime for my familiar task, and you can't deny it!" he declared confidently.
[Everyone has different tasks assigned, Host. It looks like their familiars' next task is to fight with other familiars.]
"Master, kyuu! I accept it!" Sui said, brimming with determination.
"Kyuu kyuu kyuu! Hahaha! Is that all your slime can do?" the mocker laughed, clearly enjoying the moment. Since Sui spoke in kyuu sounds, the others couldn't understand what he said.
"I think he can only win by cuteness!" another mocked, joining in on the laughter.
Seojun sighed, sliding down the task screen to check Sui's next training. The new task read:
Stage 2:
Teach Sui to enhance his attack timing and aim for critical points.
Focus on striking vulnerable spots on the enemy.
The goal is to land at least 3 critical hits in one battle.
"Please, kyuu, Master!" Sui urged, looking up at Seojun with big, hopeful eyes.
"Okay, let's do it," Seojun accepted, ready to support his familiar.
Just then, a loud ding in the white screen above them.

With that, a magic circle glowed beneath them, summoning them back to the Mithril Skylands. They landed in a large arena, surrounded by thick trees and lush greenery. Sui and the familiar of the mocker stood on opposite sides of a square stage, while Seojun and the mocker watched from the ground below.
Seojun sighed, noticing how they were gaining attention again, probably a lot will watch them as this is the first Familiar VS. Familiar in the entrance exam.
Seojun stood beside the square stage with Sui hovering above it, feeling a mix of excitement and determination. Although the arena was mostly empty at first, he could sense that people would be arriving soon to watch the spectacle unfold.
"Alright, Sui," Seojun said, his voice calm but firm. "Apply everything from your first training session. For stage 2, you'll focus on striking vulnerable spots on your opponent. The goal is to land at least three critical hits."
"Kyuu! Okay, Master! But what skill should I use?" Sui asked eagerly, bouncing in place.
Seojun pulled up Sui's skill list to check what abilities he had.
Acid Splash
Shadow Manipulation
Dark Pulse
Shadow Meld
Shadow Drain
Dark Shield and more.
"You have so many skills," Seojun muttered in surprise.
"Kyuu! That's because I want to be the strongest! With that, I became the Shadowed Ravine Lord. But now that I've arrived here, I can't use some of my skills because they hurt me," Sui said, a hint of sadness in his voice.
Seojun thought for a moment. "Hmm, all your skills are a bit too powerful for your rank. To avoid confusion with everyone watching, just use this one,"
"Kyuu! Okay, Master!" Sui responded, his energy returning as he prepared for battle.
As they stood at the edge of the arena, the opposing familiar's master shouted, mocking them. "What are you talking about? Escaping? Is that all your slime can do?"
Laughter erupted from the small group of onlookers who had started to gather, and Seojun felt a wave of pressure. The laughter grew louder as more people arrived, their eyes glinting with excitement and anticipation.
"Why did he accept his duel? Is he crazy?"
"Maybe, Who's idiot would let his familiar fiht a obviously strong familiar"
"I'll make your slime cry Just wait until my familiar crushes it! You'll be begging for mercy!"
Seojun glanced at Sui, who was shaking slightly, trying to keep his composure despite the taunts.
