15. hunting lessons (1)
rattle-
I looked out the dusky window, feeling the slight vibration transmitted through the armrest of the chair.
It was a pitch-dark night, and the sun was rising beyond it.
As soon as I arrived at the platform, I felt like I had to go straight to attendance.
‘Well, it’s because I’ve robbed a lot.’
As soon as the train time allowed, he started from the top floor of the castle and scraped together precious metals and other expensive-looking objects.
The rucksack, which had been frantically picked up and stored, almost burst, and the train was also close, but it still brought a lot of additional profit.
He should be able to repay some of the debt he owed to Master.
Or take one more elixir.
“… … Is it a step forward?”
I never thought there would be a doll seolsam out there.
His energy has increased so much that he can withdraw all his original plans.
No matter how top-notch elixir, I ate it in half with Cheonyuhwa, but I didn’t expect it to be so effective.
It was a wonderful elixir that was truly beyond measure for a first-class soldier.
Wouldn’t it be better to overdo it even if the heart and body went out of order once again?
To the extent that I inadvertently developed such a desire, the three dolls gave me a lot of inner strength.
But even so, it wasn’t coveted enough to fight the future absolute master and Cheon Yu-ha.
Even if he usually laughs empty-handedly, he’s not really a hogu.
It was a big item that would surely make you sick if you ate it alone without paying anything.
“I don’t know if you’re aware of my delicacy.”
I murmured and looked at Chun Yu-ha, who was soundly asleep in the front seat, unaware of anything.
She went to a faraway dreamland with a calm face, without any worries.
Well, even after taking the elixir, he stood guard over me, and after that, I robbed the castle as frugally and diligently as possible, so I was exhausted.
Recalling the various precious metals and tools that filled my backpack, I brushed off my regrets and raised my lips as I looked at the idiot in front of me.
“Good job, idiot.”
It was the end of a journey that was as short as a dream overnight.
I was ready to go back to my daily life in such a fresh mood, but on the way to school, I was suddenly caught by the school leader in front of the school gate.
… … I don’t remember doing anything particularly bad, and I didn’t do anything bad.
Cheon Yu-ha and I had to go to the office with puzzled expressions and accept a document.
I quickly glanced up and down the document in question.
First of all, the letters at the top were like this.
“… … You have been sentenced to out-of-school service, and if not fulfilled by the end of the semester, the amount of compensation from the Limited Research Building and Guardian Maximus… … What, I have to pay 100 billion won?!”
I doubted my eyes for a moment.
I glanced over again, but the number of digits written on the document did not change.
It could be solved by doing volunteer work, but this is a list of numbers that can’t help but be frightened.
‘No, how many zeros are there.’
One side of my heart became heavy for no reason, so I let out a sigh, but suddenly I turned my head away because my nerves went crazy with Chun Yu-ha.
Indeed, it was an overwhelming amount even for a child of the Heavenly Demonic Church.
“… … Ah ah ah ah ah.”
rattling… rattling… Chun You-ha had become a stone statue that oscillated with his eyes wide open.
‘This guy didn’t read the notice correctly.’
Around the time he shook his head at the stupid guy, the Death Knight homeroom teacher held out two more sheets of paper.
This one looked more like an invitation to a banquet than a document.
“It is an item sent from the Mage Tower. It’s also where you guys should go for volunteering outside the country.”
“yes? A mage tower?”
“I heard that you took the paper test in the first class of great magic and got almost a perfect score. The professor likes it because it’s rare for a guy with fists to get such good grades. Maybe that friend recommended it.”
“… … aha.”
That’s right, if you’re beaten to the point of death on the battlefield, you have no choice but to know magic even if you don’t know it.
I couldn’t bear to say – and I received the invitation without even hearing the explanation properly.
When I opened the letter with gold leaf and even a seal, it was written in a beautiful handwriting.
[ We invite you special. ]
That was it.

monday.
A cursed day, the beginning of a new week.
Occasionally I saw cadets staggering on their way to school after only three days.
On average, a warrior who reached his peak—even a superhuman, it wasn’t that he didn’t get lazy in the morning.
There was a lecture in the major where you would be expelled if you did not attend, so I was forced to use my feet.
It is the same with Class 3 and Sura-do.
However, compared to other classes, the languid atmosphere was noticeably less.
drooling—.
Rather, the classroom seats were quickly filled today. It was a level that came in one by one.
As they sat down and chatted with their classmates, they glanced out the back door.
Such a meaningful gaze and atmosphere pervaded the entire classroom.
When the hell will the main character arrive?
All of them were waiting.
Whether it was from a friend or through a community within the city, I knew it at some point.
Korea-Japan War.
A fight broke out between the freshmen due to a dispute over a formal club.
If it was just that, it wouldn’t have been so widely known.
Everyone was just looking forward to it.
Chun Yu-ha, the minor master of the Heavenly Demonic Sect.
Kisara Kujo, the next general under the direct control of the Emperor.
Currently, the first year of the battle department, which is implicitly divided, is the three thousand and five emperors.
Among them, the corner of the three rivers called the sky.
Everyone was paying attention to the battle of heroes who would lead the next era.
──Cheon Yu-ha from Class 3 Surado and Kisara Kujo from Class 4 Animal Map come face-to-face!
It’s been a long time since such a story spread throughout the first year of the Combat Club.
It was an event that attracted so much attention that even the seniors were informed of it.
As a result, this is no longer an issue at the club level.
‘The 101st Korea Fellowship Association’ and ‘Emperor’.
It wasn’t just their fight.
The Heavenly Demon Goddess and the Imperial Army. Representative armed groups of each country.
It was not just a confrontation between the leaders of each club and class, but in a broader sense, it was a representative match for the honor of the country and the affiliated interest group.
A match that took place early in the semester and drew more attention, intertwined with each other’s honor and pride.
Truly before destruction.
Dozens of cadets waited for her appearance, eager to see Chun Yu-ha, one of the protagonists. What kind of atmosphere will it appear in?
‘With a fighting look full of spirit? Or, as usual, calmly?’
… … throbbing.
Everyone waited patiently in anticipation.
And at 8:51 a.m., when class is imminent.
Even though it was time for the assembly, neither the homeroom teacher nor Cheon Yu-ha came.
A few cadets let out a disappointed sigh.
On the other hand, Chun Yu-ha’s only two best friend and elf, Eleanor Andersen, frowned.
‘… … No, why aren’t you coming?’
She bit her nails and looked at the terminal’s message history.
Yesterday morning, there has been no contact since the text message saying that I was on the train.
No contact for 24 hours already.
‘… … Could it be that the secret weapon I went with didn’t do anything wrong?’
Or that there was an accident with them.
In fact, only the two of them were not in the classroom.
As time passed, Eleanor’s uneasiness grew more and more.
That’s how her mind gets more and more nervous and exhausted.
Tring-!
Suddenly, a text message arrived from Chun Yu-ha.
“Huh.”
Taking a deep breath, Eleanor grabbed the terminal and read it as if she had dialed it.
I tried to be precise, but the text was so short that it ended quickly.
It was only three letters.
[Akicheon Yuha – Evande [Reads 8:58] ]
Eleanor narrowed her eyes.
“… … uh?”
what.
***
After receiving a disciplinary notice from the homeroom teacher, the theory of basic combat guidance proceeded with the theory of ‘the correct way to fight in the forest’.
What are the objects that inhabit the forest, and what are their life traces and fighting methods?
Time to discuss what is the right strategy to deal with, and discuss with conditions.
And on the next day, Tuesday, practice in the forest was announced.
This time, the class was divided into 10 groups of 5 to hunt monsters in the campus hunting grounds.
Among them, I was assigned to group 2, and Cheon Yu-ha, who was in charge of group 1, was separated.
It would have been nice if we had been in the same group, but I didn’t have a big regret.
That’s because I was well-placed.
Our group’s list was as follows.
[ Group 2 ─ Eleanor (#10), Kaiba (#75), Ji-soo Kim (#167), Choi Kang-jun (#298)
Originally, there should have been one more person, but smoking and drinking in the dormitory, that is, violation of school rules, was discovered and expelled.
Thus, an unfortunate incident occurred in which Cheon Yu-ha’s first group and our second group lacked one person.
Considering that the grouping is maintained throughout the first semester, it is a very disadvantageous treatment.
But it didn’t matter because Eleanor Andersen was our leader.
‘Even in my previous life, hunting lessons were really comfortable.’
She flew around the hunting ground like her own world, befitting an elf called the forest race.
Already overwhelmingly competent in being both a guide and a search enemy.
When he entered the battle, he provided cover with long-range sniping, and since he was the strongest in the close combat group, he took care of everything just by looking behind him.
If you are good at picking things up and eating, you will be ranked first in the hunting class.
Besides, his personality is on the sad side, so it was really a perfect team leader.
‘I’m glad it’s the same group this time.’
I was happy with the thought of taking the bus for the first time in a while. That’s because the less heartache, the better. But did the butterfly effect happen here too?
“You, don’t mess with me.”
Eleanor Andersen said with arrogance.
“Because I have no luck.”
This guy is gone for some reason.
