Hunter Academy’s Greatest War God - Chapter 7
Episode 7
Korea’s best academy.
1st place in Gaon’s grade ranking. The strongest first grader that everyone speaks in unison.
Adela Ortensia entered the Image Room. Although it was a break, Adela did not neglect her training.
“background. random.”
A voice cold enough to freeze to the bone.
Adela’s expression was as insensitive as that of a robot.
[The background is designated as a field.]
Let the hologram create the background. A cool breeze swayed her silver hair beautifully.
“To the 4th grade. three.”
[Dalian monster. Level 4 difficulty set to 3 centaurs.]
Jik!
What the hologram created was a monster with a human head and a horse body. Centaurs boasted tall stature and muscular bodies in contrast to the slender Adela.
“Kreureung!”
“human! I’ll crush you!”
Even though it was a hologram, the centaur’s intimidation was great.
The Image Room is a space that embodies all five senses of battle. The floor rang as the centaur charged.
thump thump!
Adela reached for the floor with impassive eyes.
jump! Blasphemy!
Then everything froze.
In the world of ice that Adela had frozen, only she was free.
bang! bang! Clink!
The frozen centaurs shattered like inlaid statues.
“Weak.”
Adela said.
Even though I came to the academy called the best in Korea, which is called the strongest country.
“Too weak…”
Her opponents were too weak. So Adela continued to be empty. If Shin Yoo-seong trained his body under King Kwon. Adela was a hunter who only honed her characteristics.
And her characteristics are S rank.
Adela had the qualities to become the strongest hunter not only in Gaon but also in the world. It was natural that there was no opponent.
[You updated your high score.]
Adela was never happy with the sound of the machine congratulating her.
[Image Room – 1st grade record]
[1st place – Adela Ortensia]
[3 level 4 monsters total 15,000 points]
Adela, reluctantly trying to turn off the hologram window, found an interesting name.
[9th place – Shin Yuseong]
[5 level 3 monsters, 10000 total points]
“…the King’s disciple?”
Adela is the only hunter who beat her grandfather. Kwon Wang did not forget Yoo Won-hak. Perhaps because of that, the name of Yooseong Shin lingered in Adela’s mouth.
“…new meteor.”
Although he entered Class F with F-class characteristics. Yooseong Shin achieved 9th place in one day after taking the class. It wasn’t just a matter of skill.
Adela was still expressionless, but she seemed to be interested in Shin Yoo-seong’s actions.
‘If he really inherited the King’s skills…’
As evidence of that, Adela stared at Shin Yoo-seong’s name written on the hologram for a long time.

Gathering time for potions.
Class F went to practice in the forest in the grounds of Gaon Academy.
“…what the hell is a weed and what is a herb?”
“They all look alike.”
“Ugh, the flowers… so many of the same color.”
Most of the students found it difficult to collect. Shin Yoo-seong was talking leisurely with Lee Si-woo, pointing at a red flower.
“This is a flower called Heines.”
“wow. did you find it again? Is this poisonous too?”
Lee Si-woo asked with interest. Shin Yooseong shook his head.
“Not usually. But…”
Yoosung Shin crushed the petals of Heines on the stem of the plant he had just collected. Then, the two gradually became sticky and turned into a purple sap.
“When combined with Hajid’s stem like this, it causes fatal food poisoning. For almost a day, everyday life is impossible.”
“and! Where the hell did you get this knowledge from?”
Lee Si-woo asked in surprise.
Shin Yoo-seong, who was searching for memories, recalled the conversation with King Kwon.
[Meteor Hunter! Mischievous bastard is going big! Even if you know just one herb that seems useless! They say he saves his life in an emergency?]
Shin Yoo-seong, who was 7 years old at the time, was gathering the herbs King Kwon mentioned. I ran around the mountain all over the place. Instead, thanks to the training at that time, Shin Yoo-seong was able to have knowledge of medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs beyond his senior year.
“I learned from Master.”
“If it’s Master Su! Kwon Wang Yu Won-hak!? Really great!”
Let’s love Lee Si-woo with his eyes shining.
The students who were watching started whispering as they saw the two looking friendly.
“Do you think it’s better than rumors?”
“Hey, don’t you know the devil in the arena? Joo Ha-jin in Class D says that just hearing Shin Yoo-seong’s name causes a match! How long would you like it to be?”
“I beat him to death…”
All the students in the same class questioned. Why is Siwoo Lee okay? Why do you and Lee Siu get along well? A student who took turns looking at Shin Yoo-seong and Lee Si-woo narrowed his eyes and muttered.
“…Aren’t cute people okay? Why are there so many people who are weak when it comes to being cute?”
Sumire, who was eavesdropping on the students’ conversation, wrote something in her notebook.
[memo! Shin Yooseong is weak to cute boys!]
Cute things turned into cute boys, but Sumire didn’t notice. Of course, Shin Yoo-seong, the person in charge, was talking to Lee Si-woo without knowing that strange rumors were spreading following the nickname of the devil in the arena.
“Master taught me various things besides combat.”
“To learn this and that from Kwon Wang-nim himself…”
Lee Si-woo was excited as if it were his own work. I asked Shin Yuseong with a single smile.
“Oh right. Yoosung! Are you done preparing for the test?”
“…test?”
Shin Yoo-seong remembered the words of Jin Byeong-cheol, the principal. Obviously, he gave a word about the grade ranking.
‘Come to think of it, they said they would move you to a good dormitory if your ranking was high.’
Of course, the dormitory was not very important to Shin Yoo-seong. Compared to the days when I slept in a cave in the rain and wind. The current dormitory was close to a hotel.
‘If there’s a problem. It’s not a dormitory, it’s outside…’
Students with low rankings received a lot of penalties from the academy. Participation in various events in the suburbs was restricted, and the current grades were also important for hunter activities after graduation.
‘If you aim for the strongest hunter like Master. Academy grades are basic.’
In fact, the King of Swords was during his academy days. I have participated as a representative of the national competition. The opponents were diverse, but eventually won the championship and raised Korea’s status.
It was because of that feat that he was called a legend in the Hunter world.
Lee Si-woo looked at Shin Yoo-seong, who was in trouble, and smiled mischievously.
“no way! Don’t worry too much! Matchmaking luck is important, but with your skills, you’ll get good grades!”
“Do all the other students know what the test is about?”
“Um… nothing has been set, but the general outline is similar. Until now, partners inform us the day before the exam starts. The sport has always been the same.”
Shin Yoo-seong expressed disapproval at the word partner. King Kwon emphasized the strength of the hunters over and over again, but at least the students in class F seemed far from strength.
“Partner….”
The test partner is usually the most talented student in the class. And matched the student with the lowest ability. In Class F, Shin Yoo-seong has unrivaled skills. So, the party member with the lowest grade was suitable for Shin Yoo-seong.
At the bottom of Gaon Academy was Sumire Hanajima, who ranked 209th out of 209 excluding Yuseong Shin, who had no ranking. Coincidentally, Sumire, the person in charge, glanced at Shin Yoo-seong and murmured softly.
“Far Partners….”
* * *
8pm. early to sleep.
Shin Yuseong entered the dormitory and sat down on an old chair.
creak.
Through the glass, I could see the grounds of Gaon Academy. The incessant rain soaked the whole world.
“…rain.”
Yooseong Shin recalled a memory from when he was 5 years old.
It rained incessantly that day as well. However, what made Shin Yuseong cold was not the wet rain.
[You won’t be able to survive in the new oil market anyway with F-grade characteristics.]
Shin Yoo-seong still remembers those cold eyes. Eyes that will freeze to the bone as if looking at something insignificant. It was never the eyes of a child. After those words, the man who was Shin Yoo-seong’s father left without looking back.
And the person who was a mother dismissed the orphanage director by handing him a money bag full of money.
[It wouldn’t be bad to give up being a hunter and live a normal life.]
Shin-Oil did not tolerate the dishonor of being an F grade, even if he tolerated non-hunters. 5 years of age at which the character can be tested. Shin Yuseong was abandoned like that.
But King Gwon was different.
Yoo Won-hak said this on the first day he saw Shin Yoo-seong.
[Little! You were born with a really great talent!]
Shin Yoo-seong, who was abandoned by his parents for being born with F-class traits, added with a hearty laugh.
[Why don’t you become my disciple and become the strongest hunter?]
It didn’t rain that day, but thick rainwater dripped down Shin Yooseong’s feet. age of 5 years. Ironically, Yoosung Shin was abandoned because of his talent and was chosen because of his talent.
“…Shin Oil Street.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who was lost in flashbacks, opened his mouth. Then slowly opened the glass veranda door.
Shoot Aaaaa!
The rain was like a downpour.
Of course, 5-year-old Shin Yoo-seong and now Shin Yoo-seong were different people. I was no longer a member of the New Oil Family. He wasn’t even a 5-year-old abandoned in an orphanage.
“I…”
Shin Yooseong was King Gwon’s only disciple.
It was a decent hunter aiming for the strongest position. Shin Oilga who abandoned himself. The king who chose him. And Shin Yoo-seong wanted to prove his existence to everyone in the world who persecuted Hunters for his rank.
“Become the strongest.”
Gaon Academy was just a stairway to Shin Yoo-seong’s goal.
