Episode 27
Gaon Academy training room.
The students were training with all their might in state-of-the-art equipment.
“Is your strength rank still D?”
“Your physical abilities don’t go up in a day or two?”
Some students developed their physical abilities.
“Water dragon bullet!”
Some students used the skill against dummy robots. The training room was noisy and crowded.
But when the door to the training room opened and Shin Yoo-seong entered.
Gying!
As if it had been promised, all eyes gathered at the door.
“Oh, it’s a new Yoosung.”
“…Yesterday was supposed to be a competition, but it’s just training.”
“Competition?”
“Didn’t you hear the news of the double attack?
The students were buzzing as they watched Shin Yoo-seong, the center of the topic. Among them, it was the D class students who showed the most violent reaction.
“…is that Shin Yuseong?”
The class president of Class D.
When Park Ha-won asked, Kang Min-soo, who was next to him, nodded.
“You know that. The one that destroyed Joo Ha-jin in one blow.”
Park Ha-won looked at Shin Yoo-seong and fiddled with his glasses.
“okay. He has a dirty personality and is stupid, but he’s a bit of a fighter…” “
So. An all-out war against Shin Yoo-seong is foolish.”
At Kang Min-su’s words, Park Ha-won nervously frowned.
“ha! I thought I liked class F as my opponent! If you come last in the class competition, you will be banned from participating in extracurricular activities!”
Jin Min-ah, who was listening to the story of the two, spoke carefully.
“Uh, but… if only Shin Yoo-seong is blocked, won’t we win?”
Seong Ik-hyeon laughed at Jin-min-ah and asked with a puzzled face.
“How?”
Hawon Park, the class president.
Class D’s number two, Kang Min-soo.
And all the members of Class D in the training room, including Jin Min-ah, kept silent as promised.
Of course, it was because of Shin Yoo-seong’s strength. Until now, no one in class D had ever caught a level 4 boss. By the way, Shin Yoo-seong is a crystal golem and a lich. And until Dyurahan, he defeated the level 4 boss 3 times.
Moreover, Shin Yoo-seong is still undefeated.
Shin Yuseong’s power was known only to him. It is a different level from the students in Class D.
Seong Ik-hyeon, who had a quick mind, gave advice to the class president.
“Class monitor. Ignore what he said. It’s best to just avoid it altogether. Do you know the rules of the class competition? It’s about crushing the other students by pushing them with the number of people. You have to win by the rules.”
“Hmm…”
Deep in thought, Park Ha-won secretly glanced at Shin Yoo-seong. Shin Yoo-seong was visible through the transparent glass, and a shocking level of difficulty was written on the electronic signboard in the image room.
[Difficulty 4-3]
The difficulty Shin Yoo-seong chose was 4-3 with 3 level 4 monsters.
Park Ha-won muttered with a look that had lost his will to fight.
“…F class 1st grade is 4-3. Ha, that’s crazy.”
Park Ha-won seemed to have made up her mind and added a few words while fiddling with her glasses.
“…You’re right. You can never win something like that.”
For the students in Class D, Shin Yoo-seong was too strong an opponent. So what they needed was a strategy to overcome the overwhelming combat power.
* * *
Shin Yuseong entered the Image Room and raised the difficulty level to 4-3. The students were looking at such a new yuseong as if it was amazing. Of course, it’s not the first time it’s attracted attention, but the reason was different.
Until now, the reason why students paid attention to Shin Yoo-seong was because he was a disciple of King Kwon, who had disappeared.
But now it was different.
Shin Yoo-seong became the center of the topic purely with his skills and performance.
Someone longed for Shin Yoo-seong, who had tremendous skills despite his F-class characteristics, and someone trembled in fear and kept him in check. There was also a student who had a strong desire to beat Shin Yoo-seong.
‘…strange.’
A pleasant smile lingered on Shin Yoo-seong’s lips.
Shin Yoo-seong was abandoned by his family at the age of 5 because of his F-class traits, and King Kwon cherished Shin Yoo-seong, but he was harsh on praise.
During the 12 years he lived in Mt. Musin, Shin Yoo-seong always thought that his skills were lacking and wanted to prove his worth.
The Shin-O family who abandoned themselves.
The king who believed in his own potential.
And I wanted to show it to everyone who is frustrated because of the characteristics. It was the driving force that made Shin Yoo-seong, who was still young, work hard and moved.
But now I feel like I’m one step closer to that goal. He had just climbed the stairs leading to the destination of the strongest hunter.
[Dalian monster. Level 4 difficulty, set 3 low-level mines.]
A guide sound and a hologram projector emitted light.
Saaak!
A small, armed Mine.
A large, muscular man.
A tall, skinny Mine.
Let the demons of different appearances stare at you. The guidance sound rang again in the image room.
[Mine is an intelligent opponent. The challenger can set artificial intelligence.]
Shin Yoo-seong clenched his fists while looking at the demons. There was only one role given to him for his goal.
‘Being strong.’
[How many artificial intelligence levels would you like to set?]
So there was no choice for Yoosung Shin’s answer.
“Maximum.”
At the same time as Shin Yoo-sung’s answer, the demons whose intelligence increased began to line up in order. Looking at the demons, Shin Yoo-seong also took a posture.
‘Then let’s start.’
It was Shin Yoo-seong who was used to training at the academy.
* * *
3 minutes. The amount of time it took Shin Yuseong to enter the Image Room and clear level 4-3.
“…I’m crazy.”
“Just punching. Level 4…”
The upper class students looked at Shin Yoo-seong with astonished eyes. The fighting style shown by Shin Yoo-seong was different.
Unlike other hunters who rely on the strength of their characteristics, Shin Yoo-seong’s battle was a martial art that relied solely on his body.
“Wow, I’ve never seen anything like that…”
“Ah, isn’t it stronger than Adela?”
The constitution of the palatal artery and the polar limb.
Shin Yoo-seong’s only battle, taught by King Kwon, the strongest martial artist. It was natural for the students to murmur.
Jiying.
When the closed door opened and Shin Yoo-seong came out of the image room. The band-type pocket on the wrist emits a hologram.
[Difficulty 4-3 record achieved!]
[Name: Shin Yoo-seong]
[Clear record: 3 minutes 11 seconds]
Shin Yoo-seong’s record this time was the fastest among Gaon Academy’s 4-3 difficulty clear times.
Shin Yoo-seong felt the change in his body.
‘My body is light.’
Hunters become stronger through experience.
Certain experiences awakened traits and acquired skills, as in the case of Sumire.
However, Shin Yoo-seong recently caught 3 bosses. That particular experience awakened his physical abilities to the next level.
‘As expected, it’s a real battle to become stronger.’
Shin Yoo-seong was about to leave the training room when his pocket vibrated.
A message came from someone.
[Principal Jin Byung-cheol: Student Shin Yoo-seong… Sorry for being busy… Can you come to the principal’s office right now?^^]
Jin Byung-cheol’s message was more polite than ever. The rudeness shown at the first meeting had already disappeared as if it had been washed away. Shin Yoo-seong became the school’s VIP.
[Principal Jin Byeong-cheol: PS. you can come slowly And what’s good about drinks?^^]
As evidence of that, Jin Byeong-cheol, one of the most powerful people in the academy, declared that he would prepare drinks only for VIPs.
‘As expected, he’s kind.’
Shin Yoo-seong, who genuinely accepted Jin Byeong-cheol’s snobbish favor, smiled pleasantly.
* * *
The principal’s office at Gaon Academy.
Sitting in a luxurious chair, Jin Byeong-cheol gave Shin Yoo-seong a commercial smile. Shin Yooseong smiled as well.
“Did you call?”
“Hehe, come in!”
Jin Byeong-cheol’s kindness to Shin Yoo-seong was natural.
‘It would be a huge loss if this kind of luck were to transfer schools.’
Jin Byeong-cheol constantly pretended to be friendly with Shin Yoo-seong.
“Today is no different, to student Yooseong Shin… No! Calling us like this makes us look so far away!”
Jin Byeong-cheol did not hesitate to mention the name of King Kwon.
“yes! Because King Kwon is my senior and like a teacher, and our Yooseong is my senior’s disciple. Aren’t Yooseong and I having a relationship with the death penalty and the priest?”
Jin Byeong-cheol appealed to Shin Yoo-seong tremendously with his weapon, the wicked tongue. Shin Yoo-seong, the person in charge, nodded with a convinced face.
“iced coffee!”
“Yoosung. Although this is an academy, I can’t express all my interests for the sake of fairness. We are very special.”
“thank you. principal!”
Shin Yoo-seong, who answered with a bright smile, thought to himself. Jin Byeong-cheol brought up the main topic with a friendly smile.
“…it’s not that different. The president of the association has contacted you.”
“If you are the president of the association…”
Yuchan Kang.
The president of the Hunter Association and one of the strongest hunters in Korea along with Kwon Wang.
Such a mogul directly contacted the academy. That was the reason Jin Byeong-cheol, the principal, called Shin Yoo-seong himself.
Jin Byeong-cheol proudly held out the paper on the desk.
“ruler! This is an invitation from the Association to you and Adela.”
[Academy National Team Selection]
[Location: Busan]
[Condition: 1st Grade 7 Number]
[Recommendation 1: Adela Ortensia]
[Recommendation 2: Shin Yoo-seong]
The academy’s national selection match to go to the national competition. The national competition, which covers the status between countries with first-year students of the academy, is a friendly match, but it was followed by great honor.
For Jin Byeong-cheol, the national competition was a golden opportunity to enhance the academy’s position.
“A lot of students will participate. Shouldn’t the CEO eventually come out of our Gaon Academy? By the way, the results of the tournament are not everything in the preliminary round.”
“I know. A vote?”
Jin Byeong-cheol nodded at Shin Yoo-seong’s answer. The National Competition is an event in which one student represents a country. Although they organize parties, the representative has always been the face of the country.
So, the representative was determined by adding up the results of the voting as well as the results of the preliminary round.
“To become a representative, you need a high level of recognition.”
“Awareness…”
“Well, you’ve been on K-Channel before. I’m not worried though. Still, Hunter’s popularity is an important reason for students to do extracurricular activities.”
In a way, voting was a rule that was both advantageous and unfavorable to Shin Yoo-seong.
Shin Yoo-seong was a hot topic thanks to the name of Kwon King’s disciple and his performance in double attacks. The number of extracurricular activities was low, and the popularity was low.
It was natural for students who directly helped society outside of school to receive support from citizens.
If done wrong, there is a possibility that even if you perform well in the competition, you will be defeated by voting.
chin.
Coming out of the principal’s office, Shin Yoo-seong continued to think.
‘…Awareness map and name map. It’s difficult.’
However, Shin Yoo-seong, who spent 12 years in Mt. Musin, couldn’t come up with a suitable method. At the academy, there were students who became famous for their extracurricular activities from a young age, and among them, there was a student like Adela who took advantage of the characteristics of ice to film a refrigerator commercial.
[Ice Barrier Hunter! Shinsung Group’s refrigerator recommended by Adela!]
It was a simple refrigerator advertisement, but the video of Adela raising her thumb with an expressionless face exceeded a million views. However, Shin Yoo-seong had to beat celebrities like Adela to take the top spot.
‘…Hmm, I guess I’ll have to solve the class battle before that, right?’
Shin Yoo-seong, who was worried, turned to class F, where Sumire and Lee Si-woo were. In order not to be banned from extracurricular activities, class F had to be prevented from losing in the first round. Fortunately, this was Shin Yoo-seong’s main field.
