Episode 2
Gaon Academy’s principal’s office.
Principal Jin Byung-cheol is sitting at his desk. He was looking at Shin Yoosung with a happy expression.
“Wonhak, no no! That King Kwon is… the disciple he raised himself, right?”
Gaon is a meritocracy academy where ability is the value of a student. Jin Byeong-cheol laughed, showing yellow teeth at the fact that Shin Yoo-seong was King Kwon’s disciple.
“Then the characteristics must be great! Kwon-King-nim also has S-class characteristics! You must have polished it well while not attending the academy! Huh heh! Hurry up and tell me!”
Principal Jin Byeong-cheol asked with anticipation. Shin Yooseong shook his head.
“no. So far, the trait has not been used.”
“Heh heh! What does that mean? If it’s a Hunter, of course the characteristics…”
Jin Byung-cheol’s words were common sense among common sense. However, that common sense did not work for Shin Yoo-seong. Jin Byeong-cheol scratched his empty head and asked again.
“So you know the grade of the attribute, right? Shouldn’t you have been measured?”
But Shin Yuseong shook his head again.
“It’s F-class.”
“What?”
Jin Byeong-cheol, who was full of anticipation, frowned. The thought that he had been properly beaten by the King of Power crossed his mind this time as well.
‘You bullied me like that even during my active duty, and now you leave me with defective products like this?’
Principal Jin Byeong-cheol, who had been showing kindness until now, was staring at Shin Yoo-seong and hitting the desk.
“No what! Do you mean that the disciple of the king is an F-class attribute?! Are you kidding me right now?”
“But my master always told me to be a hunter who doesn’t rely on traits.”
Shin Yooseong was not embarrassed and said clearly. Jin Byeong-cheol shook his hand as if he didn’t want to hear it.
“Who said that bullshit! Right now, your teacher, King Kwon, was a hunter with S-class characteristics!”
Jin Byeong-cheol, who went wild on the road, looked at Shin Yoo-seong disapprovingly.
“I’ll just check the characteristics here. Give me your hand.”
Let’s gently extend our hands to Shin Yoo-seong. Jin Byeong-cheol pricked Shin Yoo-seong’s fingertips with the needle attached to the machine.
pop.
A drop of blood forms on the tip of the needle. Soon after, the characteristics of Shin Yoo-seong were displayed on the screen of the machine.
[Grade: F]
[Attribute: Strengthen Concentration]
[Effect: Increases concentration by the amount of mana granted.]
Jin Byeong-cheol raised his forehead at the shocking result.
“Europeanism! this guy! cheat me again! F-class traits are called self-disciples!”
Soon after, Jin Byeong-cheol goes wild.
Shin Yoo-seong looked at Jin Byeong-cheol in silence.
‘Really, the academy… am I not good enough to be a hunter?’
Jin Byeong-cheol’s anger splashed on Shin Yoo-seong for no reason. It’s unfair that the F-grades were forcibly selected because of the government’s quota. Jin Byeong-cheol was displeased that the number of F-grades increased.
‘It’s more reprehensible that you cheated on me! I wanted to help you this time! This guy will tremble again!’
Jin Byeong-cheol forcibly suppressed his anger. He spoke to Shin Yoo-seong in a cold, subdued voice.
“…to enter our academy. I have to pass the conditions I ask for. Can you do it?”
Shin Yooseong is literally a parachute.
Now, Shin Yoo-seong’s admission was entirely in the hands of Jin Byeong-cheol.
“Yes, as much as you like.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who has no choice, answer politely. Jin Byung-chul laughed bitterly.
“The condition I want… It’s just a simple sparring. If the student I select wins in Dalian, I will admit it. how is it? will you?”
Shin Yuseong’s characteristics are F-grade.
Nonetheless, the principal, Byung-Cheol Jin, was thinking of putting Shin Yoo-Sung in a sparring match with a student with D-class characteristics. Attributes were not skills, but to Hunters, attributes were an indicator that could not be ignored.
“Dalian…”
Hearing the proposal, Shin Yuseong fell into thought. When he recalled the hunters his teacher Yu Won-hak had talked about, Shin Yoo-seong naturally became depressed. But on second thought, there was no choice. Shin Yoo-seong had to graduate from the academy to become the hunter he longed for.
Eventually, Shin Yoo-seong, who finished his thoughts, nodded to Jin Byeong-cheol, the principal, and exclaimed vigorously.
“I’ll do it!”

[Grade 1-S class]
Gaon Academy’s elite class, which is said to be the best in Korea. Of course, the class members were not divided in order of ability. At Gaon Academy, classes are determined solely by the rank of the attribute.
Of course, there was a peak even in the elite class with such strong S-class characteristics.
1st place in the grade ranking of the freshman year.
Her name is Adela Ortensia. She was a girl with neat silver hair that shined and had an impression like ice.
“…A disciple of the King?”
At Gaon Academy, where skills are everything, Adela was at the top of all students. Adela’s position was unrivaled even in the S class that was asked to give it up. Let her say something like that. The students next to me showed excessive loyalty and answered in a rush.
“Are you interested? Adela?”
“Shall we find out?”
“Wouldn’t it be that strong? I heard they’re looking for someone in class D…”
Adela didn’t respond to the students’ stories. I just hunched my chin and looked out the window with a lofty expression.
‘…King Kwon. The only hunter who beat my grandfather.’
Adela was intrigued, but then closed her eyes. And then I was lost in old thoughts. It was her grandfather’s influence that brought her to Gaon Academy, which flew all the way from Italy to Korea.
– Adela. The strongest hunter I’ve ever seen was in Korea. If you also want a seat at the top! Go Korea!
However, for Adela, a genius among geniuses, Gaon Academy, which is said to be the best in Korea, was too trivial. Ranked first in the grade, her record is undefeated. It was a perfect peak in the first year.
‘If the King’s skill that my grandfather said is true… at least… he’ll come up here on his own.’
So Adela was not interested.
What if the true rumored student was a student of King Kwon and had that level of skill? It was time to test my skills.

[Class 1-D]
A disciple of Kwon Wang.
Rumors that Shin Yoo-seong was entering the school were spreading even faster in lower-level classes. One of the students exclaimed loudly in excitement.
“If you win, you will get 50 SP!?”
SP (School Point) was an extension of the school’s shop system. However, the principal, Jin Byeong-cheol, declared that he would give 50 SP to the student who defeated Shin Yoo-seong.
A product everyone will love.
The students’ murmur grew louder.
“Wow the fuck… how many tickets are there?”
“Chapter 10? Wow… Shall I go out?”
“Are these crazy? How can I defeat the King’s apprentice?”
“Hey, didn’t you hear? They say the character of the kid entering the school is F grade.”
“what? F grade? It depends on your skills, but isn’t that completely free?”
Awesome! bang!
At the students’ story, one student pushed the desk with his foot.
Bubbly.
Then, I walked slowly to the lecture table, the center of the story.
“The King’s apprentice only has an F-class attribute?”
“Uh uh uh hajina… I heard that’s the case.”
Joo Ha-jin.
He had a fairly high grade ranking in Class D. Students with low rankings laughed awkwardly to please Ju Ha-jin. Joo Ha-jin, as if he liked it, put his hand on the shoulder of the student next to him and raised one corner of his mouth.
“What is it. It’s strange.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Oh, that’s so weird. Either that bastard is a swindler, or the king is a degenerate with dementia. will be one of the two is not it?”
Joo Ha-jin patted the back of the student next to him loudly and tore off the notice attached to the desk.
“I participate in Dalian. If you have any complaints, stick with me.”
The students coveted the 50SP, but did not have the courage to stand up to Joo Ha-jin. Of course, there were students in Class D who were ranked higher than Ju Ha-jin. They had been dispatched for extracurricular activities.
In the end, Joo Ha-jin, who had sorted out the situation, flicked her tongue while looking at the notice.
“How do we beat this impostor?”
* * *
Shin Yooseong was walking around the Gaon Academy.
“This place is really big.”
I couldn’t help but marvel. The size of the artificial island built on the sea rivaled the city. I could see how much support Gaon Academy is receiving from the government.
Hunter became people’s hope, entertainment, and money. Both citizens and businesses wanted strong hunters.
The by-products of monsters become money. Companies appealed to themselves with the good image of hunters.
“…Of course, Master hated those hunters for being fake.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who was walking along the promenade, entered the forest as if possessed. The forest of Gaon Academy was as beautiful and wide as the huge site. Shin Yuseong was satisfied and took a posture. During the 12 years since I met my teacher, Shin Yoo-seong never took a single day off from training.
Coincidentally, the academy was in class, so no students were walking around. At least the forest where Shin Yuseong was located was quiet.
‘It would be perfect to warm up.’
Shin Yoosung closed his eyes.
In fact, he didn’t know it, but Shin Yoo-seong was using the power of his characteristics implicitly. Shin Yuseong’s [Enhanced Concentration] skill was nothing special like an F grade. For a hunter who trained in martial arts like Shin Yoo-seong, the effect was extraordinary.
As Shin Yoo-seong concentrated, all his senses were awakened anew. The sound of the wind passing through the forest was clearly audible, and the slight vibration of the skin and even the breath of one’s own breath were vividly felt.
Shin Yuseong concentrated the mana of his entire body into his hands with a more detailed sense thanks to his special ability.
‘The collected mana is released at a single point.’
Shin Yoo-seong, who closed his eyes, stretched out his palms in front of him.
Tushin-ryu Bokryongam Crushjang (暴龍巖碎掌)
Tak.
Shin Yoo-seong’s palm touched the giant tree. The destructive mana made a huge hole in the tree.
Amazing profit! cooong!
The tree, whose roots were hollowed out, eventually lost control and fell over. The impact created a gust of wind, blowing a huge wind of dust.
“Is this about it?”
Shin Yuseong looked at the fallen tree casually. Yu Won-hak, who was Shin Yu-seong’s teacher and king, could have broken a tree of this size with one finger. So, for Shin Yoo-seong, this level of training was common sense.
“It’s been a real fight from the start…”
Shin Yoo-seong sighed and turned his gaze toward the training ground.
‘I thought the opponent’s characteristics were D-class, right?’
Shin Yoo-seong doesn’t know who the principal is talking about. Considering that he possesses a much higher D-grade attribute than himself, which is an F-grade attribute, he thought that his opponent was a tremendously strong person.
‘Even if the characteristics and talents given to me are low. In the end, I have no choice but to work hard to achieve my goal.’
Yooseong Shin hated the word giving up more than anyone else. It was because of the spirit that had become stronger while training to death under the King of Kwon.
“Then let’s go soon.”
palatal artery.
polar body.
An F-grade combination of talent and worst traits that were not on earth. Shin Yoo-seong finished a grandiose warm-up. headed to the arena.
