011. Entrance Ceremony

This is the entrance ceremony for the Seoul National Hunter Academy, which boasts the largest scale among academies in the country.

I expected it to be large as it is the pinnacle of hunter academies in the country….

‘This is spectacular.’

I was a little surprised by the scale of the place, which was larger than I expected.

I’ve never been there, but the main auditorium resembles an opera house that I’ve seen in pictures.

The place was filled with crowds of students.

‘Is this a cadet uniform?’

Everyone is wearing the same clothes.

An outfit with a stylish mix of white and black.

It also serves as an academy uniform, but its most important role is:

‘The role of protection….’

It is made of fiber using magical engineering, making it much more durable than ordinary clothing.

More than simply blocking blades, it provides a degree of resistance that can withstand even extreme conditions such as extreme heat.

Of course, I am wearing it too.

‘I never thought the day would come when I would wear this….’

They all look like the same outfit, but the difference is the left chest area of the uniform.

There is a badge symbolizing the hunter grade.

The badge given to me was E grade.

To be exact, it is a bluish E3 grade badge.

‘The more I look at this world, the crueler it becomes.’

Hunter grade is E, the number after it is the tier.

There is no such thing as a tier in the original grade.

‘It’s a system that encourages competition.’

A system that exists only at Seoul Hunter Academy.

This is a structure created to differentiate grades in the first grade, where grade E accounts for the majority.

‘Is it E3?’

E3, which is in the bottom 10% of E grades.

It doesn’t matter.

There is no need to worry about what others think.

Rather than being ambiguous, it seems like E3 is hiding something, which is good.

‘Cancer, of course.’

This is not a mental victory.

Absolutely! Definitely.

I looked around through the crowd to find an empty seat.

‘The only thing left is the back row.’

There are no special events at the entrance ceremony.

From noble mtl dot com

All I can do here is get to know the new students.

All you have to do is meet Yoon So-ah as a stepping stone to meeting a C-level boss.

‘No, there is a special event.’

Lee Seong-hyun’s face after missing the senior position.

You can’t miss that.

I smiled and sat in the spacious back seat.

Other students were still struggling to get a seat in the front.

“Is that the excitement of the entrance ceremony day?” .”

Of course, the academy’s entrance ceremony is not this noisy every year.

Hunter Academy.

Among them, all faculty and students at Seoul Hunter Academy pledge to maintain confidentiality about the academy.

In addition, because the internal curriculum changes every year, information rarely leaks.

‘The more you do that, the more gossip will spread.’

This year’s joke.

[From the entrance ceremony, the student’s sincerity is checked and additional points are given.]

Comes down from your mouth.

[The student sitting in front is judged to have high sincerity and is given additional points.] It must have been changed to

.

Lee Seong-hyun knows that it is meaningless.

Kang Hwa-yeon and Baek A-rin were not interested to begin with.

Most of the other main characters seemed not to have participated.

‘Of course. I’m only looking for Yoon So-ah….’

?

A student who gets mixed up in that stupid procession and moves forward diligently.

“Yoon So-ah….”

What is he doing over there?

… Should I take it out?

***

Yoon So-ah was taken to the seat behind her during the procession. Although she had a hard time persuading him, it’s actually good because she was able to come up with an excuse to ask.

“… “What was she thinking there?”

“hahahaha….”

Yoon So-ah smiled sheepishly.

“But I thought it would be good to see it at least a little better….”

It’s obvious, but it doesn’t mean anything.

“They say you get extra points if you sit in the front seat?”

“What?! How did you know? I heard this is a very secret….”

…… This isn’t even a kindergarten. Is there any way to give extra points for something like that?

More than that, I thought Yoon So-ah didn’t have the personality to join such a procession.

It may be a little different from the personality I know.

“Do you think I have more s*xual desires than I thought?”

When she lifted it lightly, Yoon So-ah smiled and answered.

“Huh..? Ah yes! I heard they give scholarships to those with excellent grades! There is an orphanage that donates money every month, but the director is having a hard time these days….”

… What kind of pure motive is this?

I feel like I’m the only one who doubted it.

She spoke to Yoon So-ah, relieving some of the guilt in her heart.

“Don’t worry, I can assure you that it is beneficial for you to be here.”

“Benefit… ?”

She smiled at Yoon So-ah, who tilted her head.

In general, gossip is not completely groundless.

The problem is that it is not accurate.

[Extra points are given by checking sincerity from the entrance ceremony.]

The point is that this level of sincerity is not an addition but a deduction.

In other words, the very obvious statement that caution and deducted points are given to students who make a fuss or cause problems during the entrance ceremony has become a mistake.

“Look over there.”

As I pointed ahead, the students who were making a fuss were paying attention.

“How about it, is it beneficial?”

Yoon So-ah looked ahead, opened her mouth as if she was surprised, and then she looked at me.

“How did you know Siwoo?!”

I know this by reading .

She can’t tell the truth.

“There’s no way an educational institution like an academy would give extra points to the person who comes first without considering each student’s situation, and besides, there’s no way they’d feel good about causing a scene like that, right?”

As I started to think about everything that came to mind, Yoon So-ah covered her mouth and spoke.

“Siwoo, you are really amazing…. Thank you, I almost got into trouble too….”

This is it.

She asked with a smile on her face to So-ah, who was surprised and thanked her.

“Thank you?”

“Yes, of course, right?”

“If you’re grateful, will you do me a favor?”

“Please… ?”

“It’s nothing special, just meet me later when I ask.”

She said that and handed over her cell phone.

Then Yoon So-ah asked, looking a little embarrassed.

“Uh…. Huh?”

“Give me your contact information and I’ll call you later.”

“Contact information?”

Although Yoon So-ah was embarrassed, he wrote down her number and passed it on.

“Here….”

“Thank you, I’ll buy you something to eat later.”

I have something I need to get by calling Yoon So-ah.

Yoon So-ah avoids deductions and gets a meal.

Isn’t this a win-win?

It was a time when I was smiling inside.

“Nice to meet you, everyone. Congratulations on being accepted into the National Seoul Hunter Academy. First of all, the top student….”

The entrance ceremony began in earnest.

Just like the description in , An ordinary, boring entrance ceremony.

‘Huh….’

But I am nervous.

As I sit in the back, I can see many students.

I rolled my eyes lightly and looked around.

This generation coincided with the admissions of many of the most prestigious families.

That is why they are attracting attention as they will be the most fierce generation.

‘It actually happens that way.’

There were many children of families whose names you would recognize.

-I take an oath.

Among them, the one that stands out more than anyone else is Kang Hwa-yeon, whose red eyes are clearly visible on the podium.

And the protagonist of this world who has been pushed to second place.

Lee Seong-hyun is destined to become the overwhelming strongest.

The wrinkled face looks quite fresh.

‘The facial expression is worth seeing.’

After the oath, Kang Hwa-yeon began reading the short speech she had prepared.

-I am proud of being the top student admitted to the historic Seoul Hunter Academy……

-Therefore, we must always do our best to create a safe world…….

Roughly speaking, the attitude and correct spirit that a hunter should have.

And this is a long, long story about her own goals.

A speech that seems to reflect the image of Ganghwayeon as just and kind seen from the outside.

In fact, most of the auditorium, both professors and students, were fascinated by her speech.

‘Is this true…? .’

Of course, I spoke in a tone that seemed to indicate a hidden partner between her words.

I can’t concentrate because I know the gaze from above.

In the first place, Kang Hwa-yeon probably did not think of herself as being on the same level as her students.

‘I wondered what it would be like if Kang Hwa-yeon gave a speech in .’

It’s exactly as I imagined.

“It’s Ganghwa Yeondap.”

“Huh?”

Yoon So-ah seems to have heard me muttering to myself and asks as if she is curious.

“Do you know who that person is?”

Do you know Kang Hwa-yeon?

This is a question that makes me laugh.

She is Kang Hwa-yeon. She is confident that she knows Kang Hwa-yeon better than herself.

“I know very well.”

Of course, we don’t actually know each other.

Yoon So-ah frowns her eyes a little at my answer.

“Do you think Siwoo is close with someone named Ganghwayeon?”

“What?”

I don’t quite understand the intent of the question.

Was Yoon So-ah a character who expressed emotions in this way?

‘The appropriate reasoning here is….’

It would be correct to say that he feels a little bit like me.

I guess this means I care.

What is the correct answer here?

“I’m not sure.”

“What?!…… “

I have no intention of getting involved in something like that with Yoon So-ah.

No, it is the same for anyone.

Disturbance should be hindered.

She is not leisurely enough to play with her love when her life is at stake.

It was then.

“Everyone will be aiming for the top of the academy. Let us help each other become a source of support. Of course, if you ask me for help at any time, I will be happy to help.”

Clap clap clap-

Once Kang Hwa-yeon’s speech was over.

Loud applause.

‘If you think that only you are suitable for the peak, then what…? .’

Good grades, a good background, and above all, a beauty.

On the outside, he is a perfect honor student.

However, to readers who know the inside story, it looks a little different.

The evaluation of Kang Hwa-yeon as Lee Seong-hyeon, a different world with a slightly more kind heart, altruism, and just thoughts, comes to mind.

‘Still, isn’t it enough to rub against that bastard Lee Seong-hyun?’

Kang Hwa-yeon’s last words lingered in my head.

‘Is it the peak…? .’

I was reminded once again.

Many students in front of me.

They are a bunch of talents that would be difficult to compare to me.

“Huh….”

Strength goes into my body without me even realizing it.

I am Kang Hwa-yeon and Lee Seong-hyun. Is it possible to stand on top of the countless talents here?

But I am not even allowed to be nervous.

In order to stand at the top of each constitution, I must step on it and climb up.

I stand at the top of the 1,000 people here.

‘I will use everything that is available.’
