Chapter 4
Episode 4
Hunter Association branch in Korea.
In the so-called Sky Town, the best hunters gathered for a meeting.
Among them, a man wearing glasses pointed to a huge screen and opened his mouth.
“This is a list of artifacts to be distributed this year.”
[Elixir: 10,000 years of ice crystal]
[Weapon: Silver moon sword]
[Costume: Black dragon cloth]
[…]
Then, a man with a black eyepatch covering his eyes raised his legs on the desk and touched him in a cheeky manner.
“Ah~ Did I mention that this is China’s turn? Money is definitely good. The list of artifacts is flashing?”
The beautiful woman next to her smiled seductively as if she was in a good mood. Although her legs and voluptuous body, reflected in the open-sided qipao, reminded me of a model. She was a top tier hunter.
“Ten thousand years of ice. silver moon sword. Black Dragon Po. Whoops, all of them are mystical artifacts. I put a little effort into it this time.”
Mystic rank was a valuable artifact that the nation paid attention to. The man with the scabbard at his side seemed to like the list.
“I wonder who will take it….”
The man wearing an eyepatch smiled.
“This time, the S-class and A-class traits will be wiped out. I’m honestly rooting for our Adela. Is he a genius among geniuses?”
Adela Ortensia.
1st in the grade ranking of Gaon Academy, one of the most prestigious schools. A student with unrivaled skills even though he is still a freshman. There were many people who coveted Adela among high-ranking hunters as well as corporations.
But the beauty in the china dress shook her head.
“…can she do it alone? This time, Kwon Kwon. His legendary apprentice came to Gaon Academy?”
Apparently, Beauty had seen Shin Yoo-seong’s video aired on K-Channel. The blindfolded man next to him also nodded in agreement.
“Yoo Won-hak is an eccentric guy. As well as being unbelievably strong. The same goes for taking an F-class attribute as a disciple. It’s eccentric in many ways.”
The sword-clad Hunter seemed to have doubts that the King of Fists had chosen an F-class attribute holder as his disciple.
“Did you say your name was Shin Yuseong? If it was the King of Power, he would have been able to choose the students of great talent at will. Why did you choose that child?”
“Only the person concerned will know.”
Let the beauty smile softly. The gray-haired old man who had been listening quietly until now opened his mouth.
“Cuckold… Everyone, don’t pay too much attention to unripe fruits.”
The gray-haired old man was Kang Yoo-chan, the president of the Korea Association. It was a person who rose to the strongest position in the eventful Hunter world, not the capitalist Hunter world as it is now.
In addition, Kang Yu-chan, the president of the association, was a colleague and rival of Kwon Wang Yu-won. So when the reclusive King Gwon announced his disciple, he was happy inside.
“If it was our original school, it must have created a monster. At least until I graduate from the academy…”
Yuchan Kang, the president of the association, opened his eyes. The eyes that shone through the narrow eyes were full of power.
“Wait.”
The Hunter Association was making a detailed plan with a mysterious artifact. Of course, the superficial reason was [training students]. The internal reasons were different.
[Academy National Competition]
The event above was a selection match for each country’s pride, and the real goal was to rank the countries and identify the best through this competition.
As a result, the image of the country and companies that will be created will rise. The additional income was limitless.
Hunter’s power is national power.
An event to show the students of each academy and show off the future of the country was the [Academy National Competition] currently being prepared.
Kang Yoo-chan, the president of the association, was contemplating which students to choose as Korea’s representative members. And among those candidates, there was also Shin Yoo-seong.
It’s still a weak interest, but Korea’s best gave attention.
* * *
The principal of Gaon Academy. Byungcheol Jin.
He was looking at Shin Yoo-seong while pouring a high-quality green tea that costs tens of thousands of won per cup. Honey dripped from his eyes, and a big smile filled his lips.
“oh my! Yes, yes! Fist! As a disciple of Yoo Won-hak, your skills were perfect!”
Jin Byeong-cheol offered green tea and laughed heartily.
“ha ha ha! I’ve been counting on you from the start! For a disciple of the king, it’s very simple for a D class student!”
Perfect skill supremacy. There was no reason for the headmaster of Gaon Academy to neglect talented people. Especially these days, the rival academy’s momentum is not easy, so it was all the more so.
“First of all, congratulations on your admission! The problem is that we have to allocate a dormitory…”
Jin Byeong-cheol cleared his throat and looked at Shin Yoo-seong.
“Are there any problems?”
Shin Yuseong asked quietly without even touching the green tea. Jin Byeong-cheol scratched his empty head and carefully opened his mouth.
“It’s about that class and the dormitory. Our academy divides classes according to their characteristics, not their skills.”
Jin Byeong-cheol was right.
S class characteristics are S class.
Class A characteristics are class A.
However, Shin Yuseong’s characteristics are F grade. In other words, he had to belong to Class F, which is said to be the worst in Gaon Academy.
“As the principal, I would say. Class F must be of a very low level to you. Actually, I’d like to cut everything, but because of the government’s quota… Ah! Excluding you, of course, hee hee!”
Let Jin Byeong-cheol notice and talk excessively. Shin Yoosung smiled and said he was fine.
“it’s okay. Class F, please.”
“Are you okay? haha! Then the next problem is the dormitory…”
There was one more problem.
Gaon Academy ranks by grade level. In other words, dormitories were distributed according to grades. So from 1st to 10th. From 11th to 20th, the dormitory facilities used by each 10th place were different. A good dormitory is given to a person with a high grade ranking.
Of course, there were many opinions against the serious level of skill supremacy. Gaon Academy’s performance, which maintained first place, dispelled all opposition.
It was a problem that the principal, Jin Byeong-cheol, could not help. Jin Byeong-cheol carefully brought up the story again.
“You were assigned the lowest dormitory. I tried to do it, but I still don’t have the test scores I deserve. It’s not that many cases of entering the school midway…”
Shin Yoo-seong nodded as if he couldn’t help it.
“That is fine. There are many places where you can escape from wild beasts and climb trees.”
Jin Byeong-cheol burst into laughter as if he had taken Shin Yoo-seong’s words as humor.
“Ha ha ha! okay! That’s right! Our dorm bed is better than a tree! Oh, by the way, the material is hardwood, the same as wood!”
In the end, if you don’t like the current treatment, you just have to prove it with your skills. What Shin Yoo-seong was curious about right now wasn’t that part.
“What is the grade ranking of the student who fought before that?”
“You mean Juhajin? Hmm… but I was told in Class D that I’m on the strong side. Out of a total of 210 people… I think it’s around 100th place.”
“So, are more than half of the first graders weaker than that student?”
Jin Byeong-cheol nodded at Shin Yoo-seong’s question.
“Well, in the case of Dalian, you can see that.”
Shin Yoo-seong was confused by the principal’s answer, as the values he had so far were destroyed.
‘Oh no, Master said that Gaon Academy is the best in Korea…’
Half of the students at that school are weaker than Ha-Jin Joo, who won today. Shin Yuseong chewed over his teacher’s words again.
[Yoo Seong! There are hunters stronger than me in the world!]
However, if Ju Ha-jin, the king of power, Yu Won-hak, I saw today. It seemed that even a yawn could kill him.
“Are there any stronger Hunters?”
Shin Yoo-seong, embarrassed, asked urgently. Jin Byeong-cheol laughed hahaha.
“Why not! Students who are stronger than Joo Ha-jin are widely spread! In particular, starting from the 7th place in the grade ranking, they are called Seven Numbers! The level of skill is different from other students! It is the pride of our school!”
Only then did Shin Yooseong change into a comfortable expression.
“okay. Seven number…”
“Oh! Are you interested? As expected, the disciple of Kwon! You are ambitious!”
Jin Byeong-cheol’s crush on Shin Yoo-seong was great.
‘…As expected, the King’s disciple! Although it is still too early. If I raise them well, I could even have them participate in competitions!’
If Shin Yoo-seong wins the match and gets the artifact. There was no greater honor than that at Gaon Academy, which is based on merit.
Jin Byeong-cheol has a dark heart and smiles heartily. Shin Yuseong smiled beautifully and thought to himself.
‘As expected, the principal was a good person. It’s really sweet.’
‘Just do it, you bastard! whooping!’
Truly a dream come true.
Jin Byeong-cheol smiled kindly and patted Shin Yoo-seong on the back. If Yoosung Shin truly had the potential of a king, he might defeat ‘that student’ who would represent China.
‘Now there is a disciple of that man in China. The most powerful person who has already secured the right to seed… A disciple of the swordsman!’
If Korea had Kwonwang, China had Swordsman. The two have always been rivals competing for the top spot.
‘…Are the disciples continuing that match now?’
Jin Byeong-cheol felt proud just by imagining it.
‘Of course, I’ll have to watch it a bit more…’
Tak.
Jin Byeong-cheol stood up and pointed to the door.
“Now then, you are a full-fledged Gaon Academy student! I will attach a guide for introduction!”
“If it’s a guide…”
Let Shin Yoo-seong be puzzled by the word guide. Jin Byeong-cheol smiled kindly and guided Shin Yoo-seong to the door.
“Come follow me. They should be waiting outside the door by now.”
“Ah yes thank you.”
“Ah, and~ I thought it would be nice to have a student in the same class as the dormitory to explain the facilities of the school. The guide called me a student in class F, the lowest dormitory.”
Class F. And the lowest dormitory.
That meant that the person in charge of the guide was a low-ranking student who was at the bottom of the grade ranking.
“All right.”
Shin Yooseong nodded and opened the door. As Jin Byeong-cheol said, a male student was waiting in front of the principal’s office. As soon as the male student saw Shin Yoo-seong, he made a fuss with his eyes shining as if he had met a star.
“Oh oh! hi! nice to meet you! Hey, if I like you, is it okay if I call you Yooseong? Hehe, no, do you think you’re pretending to be too close?”
Acting like a puppy.
The male student added a word with a bright smile.
“It’s such an honor though! A demon in the arena entered our F class!”
Shin Yoo-seong, who had been listening quietly, asked with a puzzled expression.
“…A demon in the arena? what is that?”
“huh? Is that your nickname?”
The smiling male student’s answer finger pointed at him. Shin Yuseong was at a loss for words to stop.
