Episode 5
[Year 1-D class]
With the treatment of nano machines, Ha-Jin Joo looked fine on the outside. The mind was not.
‘…That skill really made me a disciple of the king.’
Joo Ha-jin could not forget Shin Yoo-seong’s movements. In particular, it was hard to believe that Shin Yoo-seong was the same student as himself.
‘It’s not S grade, but it’s not S grade, but it’s an F grade characteristic to show such skills…’
While Joo Ha-jin was trembling in fear, the students in Class D cheered while watching the screen.
[Reverse competition matchup]
[Class D VS Class F]
[Pay 30SP to the winning team]
“Okay! nice! Class F!”
“Where to spend 30 SP? An outing pass?”
“Victory must be chewing gum! okay! All you have to do is do well on the test!”
The students seemed happy to meet class F, who was called the weakest opponent of the opposition. In fact, class F with F-class skills was the weakest class that everyone acknowledged.
However, Ju Ha-jin, who was severely beaten by Shin Yoo-seong, sweated.
‘Class F? Our opponent is class F?’
Joo Ha-jin did not forget the fear of being beaten by Shin Yoo-seong. Even if the head forgot, the body clearly remembered. As proof, Joo Ha-jin’s legs were shaking like an aspen tree.
‘That bastard is there!’
Someone said in a loud voice as if they had read Joo Ha-jin’s thoughts.
“Hey, but class F has new students. Will it be okay?”
“The King’s disciple? no way! No matter how strong you are! Alone! How long will you last?”
The female student next to her covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
“That’s right~ Can you tell the truth with the nerds from Class F?”
Let the story of Shin Yoo-seong come out. Everyone’s eyes naturally focused on Joo Ha-jin. The female student I mentioned earlier even came and asked.
“Hajin-ah, what do you think?”
“Nana? Of course, class D wins! Are you talking?”
Joo Ha-jin shouted out loud because of his pride. My heart was shaking like a reed.
‘Ah, no matter how much he is… he won’t be able to withstand the quantity, right? No, wouldn’t it be possible to destroy all of them with that skill?’
Of course, Ju Ha-jin, who had a strong sense of pride, was still bluffing.
“Ah, it’s unfair to think about it! Even if you weren’t careful! It was possible up to a draw…”
He said that, but Shin Yoo-seong continued to linger in Ju Ha-jin’s head.
‘What is that bastard doing now?’
dormitory assignment? ready for the test?
No matter what, Joo Ha-jin sincerely prayed that Shin Yoo-seong would not appear in the opposition.

Grounds of Gaon Academy.
The name of the man who guided Shin Yoo-seong was Lee Si-woo. Although he was a handful short, Lee Si-woo dragged Shin Yoo-seong with great vigour.
“This is the training room! Our Gaon Academy has good facilities. You can do pretty much any training here!”
“thank you. How to use it?”
“As for the facilities, there will be a manual when you enter the dormitory.”
Let Lee Si-woo look at himself and light up his eyes burdensomely. Shin Yoosung smiled shyly. Then, Siwoo Lee took a step closer and asked a question.
“Do you have any more questions?”
“The training room is now.”
“okay? then!”
Lee Si-woo let his brown hair fly and led Shin Yoo-seong again.
Then, he pointed to the seven buildings lined up in order and started explaining.
“Our academy has different buildings for each class. Over there~ Class S is at the end and Class F is in front of us.”
Yoosung Shin looked at the building for a while without saying a word. Lee Si-woo sneaked up next to Shin Yoo-seong and pointed at the F class building.
“Actually, everyone is really looking forward to you coming. After this test is over, we have to play against each other right away…”
“If it’s against each other…”
“It’s literally a match against each other. Because of that, the atmosphere in Class F is almost like a house of mourning.”
Shin Yoo-seong didn’t ask any more about Lee Si-woo’s words. All of the students in Class F had an F rank. Therefore, it was difficult for any class to win unless there was an out-of-standard student like Shin Yoo-seong.
Shin Yoo-seong, who entered Class F under such circumstances, was hope for the students.
“You don’t have to worry too much about it. Winning the class battle is because everyone… has given up.”
After saying that, Lee Si-woo put on a bitter expression. Instead of consolation, Shin Yoo-seong spat out a short answer.
“don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who entered class F, is a disciple of Kwon Wang. It was unknown what kind of skills Shin Yoo-seong would show if he did his best.
Lee Si-woo secretly had expectations. However, instead of expressing it, he looked at Shin Yoo-seong and smiled sadly.
“Okay, let’s do it well!”
After he finished speaking, Lee Si-woo held out his hand.
Shin Yuseong stared at that hand for a while.
“good.”
closely.
Shin Yoo-seong shook hands with Lee Si-woo.
12 years of training that started at the age of 5 after leaving the orphanage. Shin Yuseong’s relationship with King Kwon until now was all that he had as a teacher. To Shin Yoo-seong, Lee Si-woo was the first friend he made.
After shaking hands, Shin Yoo-seong walked towards the dormitory with Lee Si-woo and fell into thought.
‘…Is it an anti-battle match?’
Class competitions had little to do with grade rankings. It was not a very important event for Shin Yoo-seong, who aims to be the strongest.
‘But…’
Yooseong Shin remembered a conversation he had with Kwon Wang a month before entering the academy.
[Yoo Seong! Once you enter the academy, jump out unconditionally!]
[You mean run away?]
[No, stand out, you bastard! It means attracting people’s attention!]
[Is there a reason?]
[Of course there is! If you have any thoughts, try your hair!]
Shin Yoo-seong tilted his head. King Kwon Yu Won-hak pointed his forehead and added an explanation.
[There must be only guys wearing the same school uniform at the academy! If you are quiet, will active duty soldiers pay attention? Even your face should shine! I’ll get one more!]
[You’re saying that awareness is important, right?]
[Yes! Since I was a student, to earn well, pick up elixirs, and acquire artifacts~ Recognition is the best!]
Like King Kwon said, if you build good awareness, students can touch the billions of dollars. It was also possible to obtain artifacts or elixirs by participating before the event.
Shin Yoo-seong, who finished the flashback, fell into calculation this time.
The strongest hunter that his teacher, King Kwon, spoke of. Although he was always intimidated, Shin Yoo-seong’s goal was to become the strongest like his teacher.
‘…For me to be recognized as the strongest in the world. At least I have to be chosen as a representative of the National Competition.’
To do that, simply being strong was not enough. The representative of the National Competition is, of course, decided by a vote of the people. Recognition was essential to get votes.
‘Master said that it is an era in which recognition is important for hunters.’
The world is the era of entertainment.
Even a small event like a class match couldn’t be rushed. After finishing the calculation, Shin Yoo-seong opened the door of his dormitory.
Awesome!
Old wooden furniture and appliances that may be from a few years ago. The facilities of the lowest dormitory were beyond imagination.
Lee Si-woo, who was next to him, laughed for nothing, as if he was embarrassed.
“…Uh, isn’t our school a bit discriminatory?”
However, Shin Yoo-seong replied with a relaxed smile.
“Are you okay?”
In fact, this kind of facility was enough for Shin Yoo-seong, who endured 12 years of hellish training. And judging from Ju Ha-jin’s skills, it didn’t seem like it would take much time to rise in the grade rankings.
‘In the meantime, these facilities are enough.’

The day after Yoosung Shin entered the school.
All the students of Class F of the first year were gathered in the training room.
“Wasn’t today a sparring day?”
“What do you mean, today is the day of the image room. stupid.”
With no instructions given, the students hummed. A man in a golden cheongsam slowly walked in.
“nice to meet. Is this your first time? I am Lin Xiao.”
Instead of the instructor, let a new man come in. Students were perplexed. Yooseong Shin, whose first training was today, did not know the reason for the buzz.
At that moment, a student raised his hand.
“Isn’t that Myeong-oh’s class today?”
Lin Xiao closed her eyes at the question and shook her head.
“Not anymore. He was scouted in China and left the academy.”
At Lin Xiao’s answer, the students’ murmur grew even louder. Then Lin Shao focused his attention on himself.
“stop! The original world is like that. money is everything The ironic thing is that I was scouted from a skyscraper in China to Gaon Academy in Korea. On the contrary, it must be that he left for China from Korea.”
Despite speaking perfect Korean, Lin Shao was Chinese. Of course, it wasn’t anything strange. As Korea became a hunter powerhouse, there were many countries that chose Hangeul as their first foreign language.
Lin Xiao looked around at the students and frowned. Then his dark eyebrows were emphasized even more.
“All of them are faces that look less distant. You still smell like milk. Not a single person who looks like a hunter…”
Lin Xiao, who was talking at that time, fixed her gaze on Shin Yoo-seong.
“What is your name?”
“This is Shin Yooseong.”
“You have a nice body.”
Lin Shao sneaked up to Shin Yoo-seong and touched various parts of her body, sincerely admiring her.
“Seeing it up close, I like it even more! I didn’t neglect my training!”
Lin Shao didn’t know that Shin Yuseong was King Kwon’s disciple. Even so, he seemed to like his well-trained body.
“Did you say Shin Yooseong? you do it first! How far have you beaten the difficulty of Image Room?”
In response to Lin Shao’s question, Li Siu, who was next to him, raised his hand to protect Shin Yuseong.
“Yooseong has never done an image room since he entered school yesterday!”
However, Lin Xiao narrowed her eyes at Li Siu’s story.
“…Is that statement true?”
“Yes, it is true.”
Let Shin Yoo-seong answer calmly. Lin Xiao walked with her hands behind her back and asked a question.
“But don’t you know what level you are? For example, you can catch at least two level 2 monsters?”
Shin Yooseong fell into thought for a moment. 3 fingers stretched out Lin Shao laughed involuntarily.
“Are you saying that a student from class F, not another class, is going to catch a level 3 monster?”
“Yes, if it’s a level 3 monster, it’s okay to have up to 5 monsters.”
In response to Shin Yuseong’s answer, Lin Shao narrowed his eyes again.
“You are bluffing. Class F is going to catch 5 level 3 monsters?”
Class F is a class where students with F-class characteristics gather. Lin Shao did not think that such a student in Class F could clear such a high level of difficulty.
“Then…”
Shin Yoo-seong tied her long hair with a relaxed expression on her face. Then he looked at Lin Xiao from the entrance of the Image Room and said.
“I will prove it myself.”
Shin Yooseong was the type who put actions ahead of words.
