Hunter Academy’s Greatest War God - Chapter 301
Chapter 301:
Velvet, who came back to the club room through the portal, was silent for a while. It hadn’t been a few days since he left the room and went to the lab, but Velvet felt welcome as if he hadn’t returned for a very long time.
The living room where I lay down on a soft sofa and patted my feet. A fairy tale book that you threw away while reading it. Sumire’s delicious dishes piled up in the refrigerator.
Dalgrak. Dalgrak.
With everyone watching, Velvet silently enjoyed the meal prepared by Sumire. Unlike the food in the lab, which was not to my liking, the food prepared by Sumire was really delicious.
Dalgrak. The sound of the spoon
stopped when Velvet ate all the dishes deliciously. Kim Eun-ah asked as she stroked her hair as if she was pathetic.
“…Velvet, why did a smart kid like you follow such a place?”
The emotion in Kim Eun-ah’s voice was not blaming Velvet. It was full of compassion, as if feeling sorry for Velvet, who had suffered alone until now.
“Velvet is…”
Gumbug.
Velvet lifted her bowed head and slowly checked everyone’s expressions. Adela was biting her lips with a sad face on the other side.
“Velvet…”
Sumire smiled kindly as Velvet met her eyes.
“It’s okay to say it comfortably. velvet.”
“How much trouble the child must have suffered! Look at how dejected and quiet he is!”
Of course, Amy was also Amy-like when she was worried.
“Did we have a hard time this time too?”
“It’s okay, Velvet~ I had fun~ I could have stuck with Siwoo.”
Even if she pretends to be harsh, Lee Si-woo, who secretly takes care of her, and Sakura, who smiles brightly. After confirming everyone, Velvet finally opened her mouth as if relieved.
“Everyone likes Velvet…”
Velvet kept thinking about Meilin’s words that she could hurt people around her with her mana surge.
“Velvet… I hope Velvet doesn’t hurt everyone because she’s actually a bad dragon…”
This was all for Velvet.
But, as Meirin said, if you endanger your insolvency, what could be more terrifying than that?
“So follow me… It’s so sad not to be able to see my mom and dad… but it’s even sadder to hurt them…”
Seeing this, Velvet resembled everyone’s personality little by little. Playful and lively, but kind and warm, too deep for a child.
However, deep thinking is not necessarily a good thing. The appearance of a child who grew up quickly was bound to bring a moment that would hurt parents’ hearts.
“Why do you say you hurt us… How can you hurt us when you’re so kind! We’re not going to leave it like that…” When
Eun-ah Kim, who had a weak heart, eventually burst into tears, Velvet hurriedly stood up and hugged Eun-ah Kim.
“Sigh… don’t cry, Eun-ah, mom… Velvet did something wrong…”
Velvet wasn’t the only one who had a hard time during the separation. Why do we only learn about precious things after feeling empty? In particular, this was the second time for Kim Eun-ah.
“You idiot… even if something happens to us, there’s no such thing as giving up on you. Everyone here is of the same mind.”
At Kim Eun-ah’s words, Sumire nodded vigorously.
“that’s right. Velvet is like my family. We never give up! If you’re worried, you just need to learn how to handle mana!”
Adela, who had been listening to the story up until now, raised her hand.
“good idea. Starting today, we’ll also do Velvet’s training in the club room.”
It was an idea I had just come up with, but it certainly wasn’t wrong. Mana runaway happens to beginners who are not familiar with mana. It was an incident that would never happen if Velvet handled mana freely.
As the atmosphere leaned toward education, Velvet, who had a high academic zeal, happily accepted it.
“Oh kyaoo… that’s amazing. Are you studying velvet?”
“yes! The strongest hunter or… um, a dragon? Let’s work hard together aiming for the back! velvet!”
Like Sumire said, he won’t run for a grandiose goal, but Velvet has been reborn as a true member of Hunter Academy’s insolvency.
coo-!
and that moment.
Orca, who had been sleeping outside saying he couldn’t be comfortable alone, burst in through the door.
“Little Master Niiim-!”
“Kyahang! Orca-! Look at you too!”
“You are back! You will never know how longingly I waited for my little master! Rumble-!”
“Kyaaaang!”
It was only then that everyone burst into laughter when they saw how happy Orca and Velvet danced up and down their shoulders.

Is something going on?
It was late at night, but Shin Yoo-seong had not yet returned to the insolvent room after checking the last message Kim Eun-ah sent.
In the end, Adela went to bed early for Velvet, who must have been tired.
“Kyahang… It’s so nice to sleep with Adela’s mom.”
“I am also very good. If Velvet wants it, I’ll read her a fairy tale until she falls asleep.”
It was certainly a rare scene to read a fairy tale to Adela herself. But for today, Velvet also wanted to focus on spending time with her family rather than on a fun fairy tale.
“no. It’s good for Velvet to be with Adela’s mom like this.”
Flash!
Seeing her eyes suddenly light up, it seemed that Velvet had come up with something interesting to talk about.
“Kyahang-! What did Adela’s mom do when she was young like Velvet?”
After that incident, she hadn’t seldom recalled her childhood, so Adela thought while hugging the velvet.
‘…Teddy bear.’
Why? If you think about it, your childhood was always with a cute brown teddy bear.
“I think I always played with dolls when I was young like Velvet.”
In the end, Adela’s answer, which she recalled bit by bit, asked Velvet with a surprised face.
“Even that teddy bear speaks like an orca!?”
An imagination that could be fully realized if it was Velvet who was living like a friend with Orca. Adela shook her head with a smile as if Velvet’s reaction was cute.
“Whoops. no. It was just an ordinary doll. It’s just…”
Why did you forget?
Because it’s too old?
Or because it was hard just to think about it?
But Adela didn’t care what the reason was. It was over and it didn’t hurt Adela anymore.
“…I always had the teddy bear with me because it was a gift from people I love very much.”
Adela was able to be healed by facing it confidently, not by hiding, avoiding, or trying to forget.
chewing gum.
Velvet looked at the smiling Adela with shining eyes and nodded as if she understood.
“If Adela’s mom loves you, she loves Velvet too! But what kind of person are you?”
At the pure velvet question, Adela brushed her hair and opened her mouth. It was a strange thing. Memories that were previously hidden away to be forgotten are now really nothing.
“When I was young like Velvet, I was very afraid of a room with the lights off.”
“Hokkeok Adela’s mother!?”
Adela, who is frightened just by turning off the lights. Considering the current Adela, it was hard to contrast.
“sure. As a child, I was very cowardly. He wasn’t as smart as Velvet… he was a crybaby.”
“I can’t believe it… It’s so exciting…”
It wasn’t just because Adela handled ice that she was nicknamed the Ice Princess in Gaon.
It was because Adela’s reaction, expressionless, insensitive, and indifferent to others, felt as cold as ice. And that was one of the reasons most students couldn’t close their distance with Adela.
However, before the incident, Adela’s childhood was more of the opposite.
[Let’s sleep together. I’m scared…]
At night, I opened my parents’ door and came in and slept with them. I often hid behind my parents’ legs when friends approached, wanting to get closer.
The teddy bear is a gift given to Adela by her parents.
[Adela? Give this bear a name.]
[You won’t be afraid because you’re not alone anymore. I’ll teach you how to get closer with your peers!]
“…So I gave the teddy bear a name and treated it like a real friend. It was kind of an exercise. It was too difficult for me as a child.”
Adela looked up at Velvet and nodded as if something came to mind.
“Come to think of it… Velvet needs a place to make friends too. Is it a kindergarten after all?”
If Velvet were to decide where to go, it would be an educational center rather than a standard kindergarten. The government has already created many education centers that gather and educate children who have already reached the age of five and have developed their characteristics.
It is a place where you receive a brief education before moving on to the general academy.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaa~ More than that, where’s that teddy bear?”
Of course, it was Adela’s teddy bear that was monopolizing Velvet’s attention.
However, contrary to Velvet’s expectation that it was a valuable item and would have been kept specially, Adela gave an unexpected answer.
“…I forgot.”
“Hehehe… Forget it!? What happened!?”
I forgot about that teddy bear.
“No, now that I remember, should I say I forgot?”
But now it came to mind.
Adela, who gave a rather cryptic answer, hugged Velvet and thanked her.
“It’s all thanks to Velvet.”
Why do precious things belatedly find out about their vacancy? Adela smiled happier than ever, grateful for the daily life that had finally returned to her original place.
