I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 13 -

The day after the strange student (1).

Seojun got up early in the morning and left the house.

Normally, it was time to hurry up, worrying about being late to the scene.

But today, Seo-joon's steps were relaxed.

There were two possible reasons for that.

One is that Seo-joon wasn't going to the field right now.

The second was because I was thinking of using the luxury of a taxi.

“Please go to the Dream Academy.”

Saying so, Seo-joon got into a taxi.

“yes? Where?”

But the taxi driver didn't seem to know where Dream Academy was.

Exactly, it's like hearing it for the first time. Seojun laughed awkwardly and corrected his words.

“Ah… Please go to Building D in Eunpyeong-gu.”

Eunpyeong-gu... No, in a taxi to Dream Academy.

It was a time when Seo-joon was spending time listening to the transcendentalist lecture.

Tiri-ring.

Suddenly, the phone rings and the screen changes.

It was because of a call from none other than Mancheol.

“mister? What are you doing?”

Seo-joon could not hide his puzzled mind.

It was also because he had told Man-cheol about the situation in advance after talking with Seo-yoon yesterday.

Mancheol liked it, saying it was a good thing, and even joked about not breaking his promise to let him play soccer with Richie's skull.

Seo-joon answered the phone full of curiosity.

“yes. mister.”

- Hey, what the hell were you doing yesterday?

Then, over the receiver, Mancheol's question came out of nowhere.

“yes? What do you mean all of a sudden? What am I doing?”

-The foreman has suddenly changed? isn't this what you are?

“Ah...”

And at Mancheol's words, Seojun was able to understand the situation.

In this floor, the hunter was the carrier of the armor to the last.

In a way, it is a job that is subcontracted from Hunter. Watching the hunters was a natural physiology.

But he wasn't a regular hunter, and he annoyed the granddaughter of the Sword Master?

Like a foreman?

‘Still, I didn't expect it to be cut right away.'

Seoyoon didn't know what he was saying, but Seojun didn't care much.

“What am I doing? I guess he just quit yesterday because of the responsibility.”

-Is Kim Tae-soo a bastard who just quits with something like that? A passing dog will pester you. Well, it's good that Kim Tae-soo isn't there, but... It's an atmosphere that everyone likes. But aren't you really like that?

“I didn’t do it.”

Park Seo-yoon did it.

Seojun laughed lightly and swallowed the words behind his back.

-Well, if you are... I know. By the way, are you on your way there now?

“yes. Almost arrived...”

“Guest. Everything has arrived.”

And the taxi driver's voice comes just in time.

Mancheol also answered the taxi driver's voice right away.

- Draw. work hard. But don't roll over again.

“yes. Do not worry. If there is anything wrong with you, please contact me.”

After hanging up the phone, Seo-jun paid the price and got out of the taxi.

Then I looked around and found the building where the Dream Academy was located.

“Seojun! Here it is!”

Then, a voice called Seo-joon came from somewhere.

When he turned his head, Seoyoon was waving his hand high in the distance and calling out to Seojun.

Seo-jun moved and approached Seo-yoon.

“I didn’t know you would come to meet me.”

“I don’t think I can find it.”

Seo-jun looked at the building behind Seo-yoon.

A three-story, not very large building. It was located in a little corner, so it would have been difficult to find if Seoyoon hadn't been there.

“Is this the dream academy run by Seoyoon?”

“yes.”

Upon Seoyoon's answer, Seojun looked at the building once again.

It's not that big, but considering it's a building in Seoul, it couldn't be said to be small.

However, it was true that it was relatively unreasonable to call it Hunter Academy.

“Anyway, since I'm covering the operating expenses myself...”

Seoyoon blushed slightly and continued.

“Still, everything is there! I will introduce you, so would you like to take a tour of the facilities?”

However, Seo-joon shook his head resolutely.

“no. I'll look around later.”

“yes? Ha But...”

“Has a temporary license been issued?”

“...”

Seoyoon looked at Seojun with a strange expression.

Then, he took out a small driver's license from his pocket and handed it to Seo-jun.

[Temporary hunter license - Kim Seo-joon]

There was written information proving that he was a temporary hunter along with Seo-joon's resident registration number.

‘Just in case, it was really issued.'

As he stared at the license, Seo-joon's heart was filled with something.

I haven't become a professional hunter yet, but I feel like I've taken the first step towards that dream.

‘This is the beginning.'

Seo-jun kept the license in his arms and said to Seo-yoon.

“Rather than introducing the academy, can you tell us how to do a dungeon raid?”

“Anyway...”

Seoyoon shook her head and said.

“There is no need for that.”

“yes?”

Seo Joon is confused. Seoyoon immediately continued.

And from Seoyoon's words that followed, Seojun was able to know what kind of person Seoyoon was.

I don't know everything else.

“I knew that, so I reserved a dungeon in advance.”

She was a really fast woman.

The dungeon Seoyoon reserved was a dungeon located in Incheon.

It was a dungeon where Kobolds, a 2-star monster, appeared. Compared to the 4-star Manticore that Seo-jun caught yesterday, it is a monster that is 2 stars behind.

However, Seo-joon was not disappointed.

That would be the case, Seojun had no experience of catching monsters. Exactly, yesterday was the first time.

No matter how effective the transcendent lecture was, Seo-joon had no standard to objectively judge his skills.

Above all, Seo-joon is still unable to use mana.

What if what happened yesterday was just a coincidence?

It's something that could lead to death for no reason.

So, the reason why Seo-jun said he would do the raid first was to test the questions Seo-jun had.

And if the subject of the experiment was a 2-star kobold, it would be just right, Seo-jun thought.

however.

“Why are you following me?”

For some reason, Seoyoon also followed Seojun, saying that he would go in with him.

In response to Seo-jun's question, Seo-yoon told Seo-jun as if it were natural.

“Then you're the only student in my academy, so I should just leave it alone?”

So, Seo-jun also nodded as if it were natural.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t touch me?”

“I don’t touch. But if there's something dangerous, can I help you?”

In response to Seoyoon's calm answer, Seojun tilted his head once and said.

“Aren’t you busy?”

“I am busy.”

“Then you don't go to work...”

“You're busy working right now.”

With that said, Seojun had nothing to say.

what if so

“Think of it as one-on-one care that only promising academy students receive.”

“That is such an honor.”

Seo-joon smiled and checked his body condition.

In fact, as long as Seoyoon followed, there was nothing wrong with Seojun.

Seoyoon is a B-class Hunter. No matter what anyone said, he was a better person than Seojun now.

Even if things went wrong, the worst could have been avoided.

In a sense, it is a safety device.

That was when Seo-jun was about to enter the dungeon.

“Wait. Are you going to fight with it?”

Suddenly, Seoyoon stopped Seojun.

I wondered why, but when I turned around, Seoyoon was looking at the iron bar Seojun was holding with a strange expression.

It was the same iron bar he wielded yesterday when he caught the manticore.

“Ah, I don’t have the right weapon right now.”

“Then you should have told me beforehand. There are weapons for training at the academy.”

did you do that

Seo-joon felt a bit regretful, but he couldn't go back now.

“I will write next time. And for now, this should be enough.”

Maybe.

Seo-jun pushed himself into the dungeon, ignoring Seo-yoon's distorted expression.

Whoops.

Vision reversed with a strange sound.

The first thing that came into sight was a deep, dark cave.

Like a rat-type monster, it seemed to have set up a habitat in a dark and humid place.

Whoops.

Then, the sound of Seoyoon coming in followed, and Seojun moved on, holding the iron bar tightly.

And how far did you move?

Startle.

Suddenly, a strange feeling caught Seo-jun's senses.

Something subtle that I would normally have thought was because of my mood.

tall.

However, Seo-jun no longer doubted his senses.

“Why all of a sudden…”

“Stick.”

Seoyoon expressed her doubts about Seojun's behavior for a while, then hurriedly shut her mouth at the sound of the kobold.

‘What... I felt something I couldn't feel?'

no way. It must be a coincidence.

Seoyoon thought so and watched Seojun's next move.

Seojun closed his eyes slightly and focused on his senses.

‘face. I feel like it's just one...'

And he hasn't recognized himself yet.

In a word, it was a perfect situation for a surprise attack.

‘Even if I don't use mana, I'll check if my attack works.'

After making that conclusion, Seo-joon ran toward the tadak kobold without hesitation.

“Stick?”

The kobold tilts his head at Seo-joon's appearance. However, it was too late to react to Seo-joon's attack.

Whiik!

Bahah!

The swinging iron bar hit the kobold's head directly, and a horrifying sound erupted.

The feeling of something breaking through your fingertips. The kobold did not show any movement.

Seo-joon got closer and identified the kobold.

Then, a kobold corpse was found lying limp with a broken skull.

‘The mana barrier is pierced.'

Seo-joon was able to confirm that his attacks also worked against monsters.

Originally, it was normal for attacks that did not contain mana to be blocked by a translucent membrane.

The so-called mana barrier was only pierced by the power of mana, and without mana, the monster was not harmed by any attack.

So even at the beginning of the Cataclysm, it was impossible to deal with monsters unless you were an Awakener.

Now that research has been actively conducted, mana can be stored in modern weapons, so it can be dealt with by the military.

There were also professional hunters who specialized in modern firearms.

Anyway, without mana, it was impossible to catch monsters.

‘But my attack works...'

It was the time when I was about to move my steps again while confirming that fact.

Creepy.

A sudden chill.

“danger...!”

Afterwards, Seoyoon's cry was heard, but Seojun was already instinctively leaning back.

Whiik!

A sharp kobold claw passed in front of Seo-joon's nose.

“Sizzling?”

The kobold's cries of panic as if he didn't know his attack would miss.

Seo-joon could have been taken aback by the sudden attack of the kobold, but Seo-joon's heart was extremely calm.

Seo-joon bounced up like a spring and sensibly swung the bar.

wheeik.

Aww!

The feeling of something breaking through my fingertips again.

and.

< Chiron lecture progress rate +0.6% (22.5%) >

< Sakyamuni lecture progress rate +0% (5.1%) >

< Hangwu lecture progress rate +0.4% (20.1%) >

‘As expected, the lecture progress rate goes up.'

Seojun was able to check the progress of the rising river.

And at the same time, the sense of being sensitive somewhere and the feeling of being renewed.

However, it did not rise as much as when I caught the manticore yesterday.

Compared to before, Chiron lectures are 0.6%. Hangu's lecture is 0.4%. Unfortunately, Sakyamuni's lecture did not go up.

‘Still, if this is enough for only two kobolds...'

There was no comparison compared to the time when I simply listened to the lecture over and over again.

Above all else, you can make money!

‘This one. It seems to raise the experience of the game.'

Seo-joon smiled and moved on again.
