Episode 30
The sound of birds chirping.
Shin Yuseong was concentrating in the thick forest. Of course, it wasn’t training for the opposition to be held tomorrow.
The answer Shin Yoo-seong was looking for was a long-cherished wish he had before descending Mt. Musin.
‘I still can’t move on from Chapter 3 of the God of War.’
It’s been 4 years since I learned the 3rd chapter of the fighting god style, the chapter of Pacheon. Shin Yoo-seong still hasn’t succeeded in Chapter 4 of the Toshin-ryu. Of course, King Kwon created Chapter 3 of the Fighting God style during his active career. Considering Shin Yoo-seong is still a student, his potential was unpredictable.
However, Yooseong Shin did not like the stagnant moment.
‘I want to go further.’
The desire to become stronger has always been the driving force behind Shin Yoo-sung. Maybe it was natural. To Shin Yoo-seong, who was abandoned for being ‘weak’, every moment of Musinsan’s life was proof.
The Shin-O family who abandoned themselves.
The king who believed in his potential.
And even for Shin Yoo-seong himself, he couldn’t be stagnant yet.
wickedness.
Shin Yuseong wrapped mana around his left and right arms. Then close your eyes and focus. My body senses woke up and everything flowed slowly.
Bassrock.
The sound of small animals stepping on leaves.
A wind that blows pleasantly.
The wave of mana wrapped around his hand was vividly felt by Shin Yoo-seong.
But let’s change our posture to use the technique. The mana he had accumulated in his hands was scattered into the air.
‘Another failure.’
Shin Yoo-seong exhaled deeply and turned his head to the back.
“What are you doing?”
Shin Yoo-seong looked at empty space with nothing. However, Shin Yoo-seong continues to stare at one place. A man said in a surprised voice.
“…noticing this.”
The color shimmered around the tree and changed into a human form. The only student in Gaon with the invisibility attribute.
The man looking at Shin Yoo-seong is a student in class S, who is called the elite. It was Min Seong-hyuk, who was ranked 4th in the grade.
Min Seong-hyeok looked at Shin Yoo-seong as if he was curious and held out his hand for a handshake.
“Isn’t there a radar device inside your body? You’re the first one I’ve seen from this distance!”
However, Shin Yoo-seong did not answer or hold Min Sung-hyuk’s hand. He just stared into Min Sung-hyuk’s eyes without saying a word. Min Seong-hyeok, who was about to pass naturally, laughed awkwardly as if he was being suppressed by Shin Yoo-seong’s momentum.
“I’m sorry. It’s just amazing to practice even on holidays. To be honest, I also wanted to test my skills. Were you too rude? But…”
Min Seong-hyeok smiled kindly. His eyes suddenly changed.
“I have other business. I have something I want to tell you.”
Min Seong-hyuk narrowed his eyes and touched his pocket. Then, the beam emitted from the pocket raised letters as a hologram.
[Club membership application form]
[Club name-Hunter club]
[Director-Shin Ha-yoon, 2nd grade S class]
“…Shin Ha-yoon.”
Shin Yoo-seong’s expression hardened by the name Shin Ha-yoon. Min Sung-hyuk smiled with a triumphant face.
“Is that a name you know too? Well, it’s natural to be surprised. Because our manager comes from the famous Shin-O family.”
Shin Ha-yoon is the No. 1 in the 2nd year rankings.
The most influential person to be the next student council president. Min Seong-hyeok seemed to think Shin Yoo-seong would join the club.
“Aren’t you proud? That kind of person is trying to recruit you directly. there is no such opportunity Besides, our extracurricular activities are almost like a guild.”
Min Seong-hyeok boasted about the club and Shin Ha-yoon like a quick-fire gun. Of course, Shin Yoo-seong also found Shin Ha-yoon’s proposal strange. Shin Ha-yoon is a genius born with the best talent in the Shin-O family, a renowned hunter family.
When Shin Yoo-seong was sent to an orphanage at the age of 5, Shin Ha-yoon was chosen as the next successor to the Shin-O family at the age of 6.
It was none other than the trait that separated the fates of the two. Shin Ha-yoon was born with S-class traits and Shin Yoo-seong was born with F-class traits. The difference is what made the current result.
“okay?”
Shin Yuseong looked at Min Sunghyuk. Shin Ha-yoon’s name shook for a moment, but Shin Yoo-seong’s eyes were calm again.
“What if I refuse?”
Shin Yoo-seong’s answer made Min Seong-hyuk a puzzled expression.
“Ah, there’s no reason for that, right? Are you a Shin-O family? Senior Shin Ha-yoon is aiming for the best hunter not only in Korea but also in the world.”
Min Seong-hyeok did not understand Shin Yoo-seong’s answer. If you look good to Shin Ha-yoon, who is called the next president, you can enjoy tremendous benefits. Thanks to this, the Hunter club was famous for its narrow gates, although any student adored it.
In other words, the Hunter Department is a place where only those who are chosen from Gaon, which is called the best in Korea, gather. Refusing to join the Hunter Club? It was impossible to understand with Min Sung-hyuk’s common sense.
“You have to be next to someone like that to get anything. is not it?”
Min Seong-hyuk smiled kindly, but Shin Yoo-seong’s expression hardened. Min Sung-hyeok’s words were not wrong. It was true that being under Shin Ha-yoon would help her grow in the future.
However, Yoosung Shin pressed the [Reject] button on the right side of the hologram.
ping!
With the refusal of Shin Yoo-seong, the hologram disappears. Min Seong-hyuk opened his eyes wide and shouted in surprise.
“What are you!?”
“Thank you, but I will refuse to sign up.”
Shin Yuseong had already finished the thought in his mind. For proper growth, going under Shin Ha-yoon was a good option. But to be the best, that wasn’t it. If you go under Shin Ha-yoon, the head of the Hunter Club, you won’t be able to create your own party.
‘That’s not all.’
It was clear that the stronger he became, the more he would be used and swayed by Shin Ha-yoon. Min Seong-hyeok frowned at Shin Yoo-seong’s choice.
“Are you saying… you’re rejecting Shin Ha-yoon’s proposal?”
Shin Ha-yoon is one of the most powerful students. But Shin Yoosung didn’t care. If Shin Ha-yoon had a Shin-Oh family behind him, Shin Yoo-seong had a King Kwon.
“okay.”
Just as Shin Ha-yoon’s goal is the strongest, Shin Yoo-seong’s goal is also the strongest. So I had to bear the weight that was right for him.
However, Min Seong-hyeok muttered as if he was puzzled by Shin Yoo-seong’s answer.
“…that’s strange. Senior said you would accept the offer unconditionally.”
“what?”
“Because he said he has a very close relationship with you.”
It was not wrong.
Because Shin Yoo-seong and Shin Ha-yoon were a family. But that was a story from 12 years ago.
“A close relationship…”
Shin Yooseong stopped laughing. No matter how you think about it, Shin Ha-yoon was the legitimate successor to the Shin-O family.
If it is useless, throw it away, and if necessary, even the discarded opponent will come to the extreme. Shin Yoo-seong said to Min Seong-hyuk with a relaxed expression.
“Tell it to your sister. I can’t even remember his face anymore.”
He was no longer Shin Yuseong of the Shino family.
* * *
Gaon’s best club. Hunter Department.
Shin Ha-yoon was reading the papers on the desk slowly. Since she took charge of the Hunter Club, there have been many changes in the Hunter Club, which is just a club.
[Request area – Coral cave]
[Request type – Collection of by-products]
[Request fee – 2,200,000 won]
First of all, the hunter department never stopped requesting hunters under the guise of outside activities. Of course, it was all thanks to Shin Ha-yoon’s connections with the Shin-o family and her innate talent.
There were a lot of companies that wanted talent from Gaon, the best in Korea. Shin Ha-yoon, who was only a student, was playing the role of the guild leader.
“Please send a member of the 2nd year or higher to the Coral Cave.”
Coral Cave was a level 4 dungeon. When Shin Ha-yoon, who is tight on information, gave an order. The student next to him nodded politely.
“okay. Director. Is it a request from Shinsung Group? I’ll send you around the top 10 in the grade ranking.”
Even though they were in the same grade, all the members were having a hard time with Shin Ha-yoon. It was like class division.
“great. Then I’ll let it pass arbitrarily.”
Shin Ha-yoon quickly stamped the documents and went down. As soon as Shin Ha-yoon gives permission, the students in the Hunter Club start extracurricular activities. Permission from faculty members was not required.
In addition to the astronomical costs earned by the Hunter Department, the academy’s image was improving, so it was rather a welcome from the school’s point of view.
Ranked 1st among sophomores.
The background of the Shin-O family, a famous hunter family.
And through the position of head of the Hunter Division, the position of student council president for next year had already been confirmed as Shin Ha-yoon.
It was only natural that the members were trying hard to impress Shin Ha-yoon.
‘By the way…’
Shin Ha-yoon laughed at the message in his pocket.
[Club membership application form]
[Name-Shin Yoo-seong]
[Answer-Rejection]
Shin Yu-seong rejected his offer to join. It was the first time Shin Ha-yoon had been in charge of the Hunter Division.
Still, Shin Ha-yoon was able to understand Shin Yoo-seong.
‘…is it because of what happened 12 years ago?’
12 years ago, the Shin-Oh family abandoned Shin Yoo-seong. At first, I couldn’t understand what my parents meant. But now I knew. It’s the few talented people who make the world go round. The Shin-O family was one of the pinnacles.
There was no need for a hunter with F-class characteristics in such a famous hunter family.
‘So I threw it away.’
It’s a natural reason that you can sympathize with yourself.
But now the story has changed. Shin Yoo-seong, who is also of his own blood, played a great role with F-class characteristics. I had already been selected as a candidate for the preliminary round, and there was a possibility of going to the national competition.
Shin Yuseong was now eligible to enter the Shin-Oh family. The club proposal sent by Shin Ha-yoon contains her reconciliation and recognition.
‘Because the head of the family also allowed it.’
However, Shin Yoo-seong seemed to have no intention of returning to the Shin-oh family. Shin Ha-yoon was lost in thought. Shin Yoo-sung’s performance and growth were too fascinating fruits to just let go.
Crucially, being the official successor of the ‘King of Power’, Shin Ha-yoon smiled leisurely.
‘What can I do?’
Tok tok tok –
Shin Ha-yoon’s index finger tapped the desk rhythmically. This was her habit when lost in thought.
And when the calculation was finished, Shin Ha-yoon’s index finger stopped.
‘…Well, let’s watch it for now. I wonder how much he will grow.’
Shin Ha-yoon was relaxed.
At least as long as Gaon Academy was the stage, she was no different from a ruler.
