When I left the empty classroom after talking with Professor Sung, the first graders were waiting outside.
“Ah, is this class being held in this classroom?”
“yes. Seniors.”
Sunghyun looked around the eyes of the first graders looking at him.
From the one who seems thoughtless to the gaze full of respect.
Those numerous glances didn’t really matter.
Unless it’s hostility.
“The conversation is a little late. You can go in now.”
“thank you. Seniors.”
Only the name was the senior, but the attitude and expression towards him were as if he were treating a professor.
It wasn’t a bad feeling.
It wasn’t good though.
“Hunter Kim Seong-hyun. Then I’ll finish today’s class and tell the principal.”
“Is this your resignation letter?”
“Haha, that’s right. I’m also really… the first person to reach out is the principal, so I don’t care.”
If Seong-hyeon was like a benefactor to Seong who restored family happiness, the principal was a benefactor who saved him from a financial crisis.
To be honest, if we compare these two cases, of course, Seong-hyeon’s grace was greater, but Professor Sung didn’t think so.
“Where is the weight of grace? It just hurts a little.”
Professor Seong’s eyes, filled with deep sadness and deep joy at the same time, were very impressive.
It makes me wonder if he was such an emotional person.
“it’s okay. After the professor has finished talking with the principal today, I will have to meet the principal as well.”
“I am not asking you to ease my debt. I just hope that the headmaster doesn’t feel sorry for Hunter Kim.”
“Do not worry.”
Professor Sung didn’t seem to see himself as the top hunter.
Sunghyun liked it more.
“I will tell you the details after all the conversations are over.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Professor Seong went back to finish the rest of the class, and Seong-hyeon was planning to spend the day at the academy, so he returned to the class.
As soon as the door to the classroom was opened, the atmosphere that had been a bit noisy was swept from silence to coolness as if cold water had been poured on it in an instant.
“I noticed it when we were there, but it wasn’t up to this point.”
“Are you and Sunghyun the same?”
“That’s what it means. Are you arguing with me a lot these days?”
“I’m not arguing, I’m just stating the facts.”
I was about to get up first, leaving the two of them still arguing, but one of my classmates hesitated and approached Seonghyeon.
“Me, over there… Hunter Kim Seong-hyun.”
“yes? make it easy to talk They are our friends.”
“But still…”
“Because it’s okay. Why?”
The classmate, who had been hesitant about whether it was really okay to talk, held out what he had hidden behind and said.
“Hey, please sign…”
After hearing the word autograph, I looked around and saw that the eyes of my classmates were different.
‘…from a while ago, a strange atmosphere was flowing…’
I was also worried that I might be afraid of myself, but it seems that’s not the case.
“But there is.”
“yes?”
When Seong-hyeon, who was holding a pen to sign an autograph, paused and asked, the classmate looked at Seong-hyeon with a lot of tension.
“Did you lose the bet and come as the representative?”
“Uh, huh? Yes…”
If you add up the time Seong-hyun lived before returning, he’s already over 30 years old.
That’s why my classmates looked pretty cute.
“What did you do that way? Anyone else want autographs? If you have it, do it.”
“Nana!”
“me too!”
I wondered how many there would be at most, but without a single one left, all of my classmates gathered to get Seong-hyeon’s autograph.
“Hey, did you really treat 130,000 people in America?”
“They say that 130,000 people are all seriously injured.”
“right. I watched several interview videos, and they said that the man whose arm was cut off came back to life!”
Sunghyun answered all the questions that came pouring in.
Of course, I couldn’t explain it in detail, but I selected and explained only the parts that would be most interesting to the hunters of this age, who also had the pride of being an academy student.
What happened inside the first-class door, the organization’s terrorism took place and the famous Richie and Padron, etc. moved with the top American hunters, the American association president, etc.
There were no lies.
I just hid the truth a little bit.
“Wow…”
“Crazy…”
Seong-hyun, who had only felt difficult, explained what happened in the United States, and it became more and more comfortable.
Just as the conversation was ripe, Professor Sung appeared.
“Hunter Kim. We’re done talking. The principal is waiting for you.”
At those words, the eyes of a little resentment turned to Professor Sung, and of course, Professor Sung, who did not know English, turned his gaze shyly.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“It was a highlight. 🥺”
Seonghyun rarely appears at the academy, so I didn’t know when I would hear the next story.
“Are you in the principal’s office?”
“Yes. you’re right.”
Professor Sung bowed his back to Seong-hyeon and greeted him.
He doesn’t care if his classmates are watching or not.
Corridor from the classroom to the principal’s office.
It was time for everyone to leave school because all of the academy classes were over, but Sunghyun was passing by this hallway.
“There is no need for this.”
All the students who came out as if they had been cut in half were split sideways, blocking Seonghyeon’s way.
It didn’t make any sense to dry it anyway, so Seonghyeon directly stuck to the wall of the hallway, and the split road came back together again.
So I walked to the principal’s office.
As if he knew that Seong-hyeon had come, the principal’s voice could be heard from within.
“Come in.”
To others, it may sound like a voice that is no different from any other time, but it was different for Seonghyeon.
A voice that sounded a little helpless, but that it could not be helped.
Even though he had not seen his face yet, the change was visible enough to be felt.
“hello. principal.”
“Haha, are you treating me like the principal because you came to the academy?”
“You are always the principal, whether in or out of the academy.”
The principal naturally vacated the upper seat and guided Seong-hyeon, and Seong-hyeon tried to refuse the principal’s guidance, but realized that the principal also had religious beliefs and just obeyed the instructions.
“Did you finish the conversation with Professor Sung?”
“…Yes.”
When I saw the reaction, it seemed that Professor Sung was the cause of the helplessness I felt earlier.
“I guess it didn’t go well? A person like the headmaster shows his emotions clearly on his face.”
“Do you have any reason to hide your feelings from Hunter Kim? However, as the principal representing the academy before Kim Hunter’s supporter, I only feel regretful.”
“Isn’t there a lot of talent we haven’t found yet?”
“Haha, you’re talking as if Hunter Kim would be a professor himself.”
“It doesn’t matter. Every day would be impossible.”
“…are you serious?”
The smile of the principal, who had been smiling lightly, disappeared in an instant.
“sure. When you’ve finished talking to Professor Sung, don’t you know what I’m scouting for?”
“of course. To put it simply…the coexistence of everyone.”
Even the principal knew better than anyone that the level of strength was completely different when comparing the same door now and before.
“I am not trying to increase my strength. It’s against that door that you can’t predict how it’s going to change.”
“…representation…”
However, with his position and strength as the academy principal, he could not throw himself into such a huge cause.
‘Cause it’s just self-destruction
‘But if it’s Kim Seonghyun Hunter…’
The person closest to the cause itself at this point.
It was Seonghyeon and no one else.
No place, no one, could reach this cause.
Even the president of the United States and the president of the association were unable to work together.
This is a problem that cannot be solved by force.
Although necessary, the limitations were clear.
“Then what is the detailed plan? As long as I understand Hunter Kim’s intentions, I can’t stay like this. There is no immediate crisis in the world right now, but this situation itself is a crisis that does not know what kind of crisis will come.”
“So I’m going to put the headmaster into this plan and preparation. The same goes for associations. By mobilizing all the connections I can mobilize.”
“It’s Hunter Kim’s network…”
In fact, it took about 6 months for Seonghyun to start working in earnest.

Meanwhile, Richie, the number one hunter in the world, was also reaching out to the American Association.
“I will come to the academy for the next year.”
“Oh my…”
The weight was different from what I said earlier.
Because he said that he would take the time to help and that he would come in person for a year.
“Are you saying you want to be a professor for a year? In place of Professor Sung’s vacant seat?”
“It would be great, but wouldn’t a person who was a student until yesterday not become a professor overnight?”
“It’s possible with the principal’s authority, but…”
Even the principal’s expression darkened as he said this.
The side effects of doing so.
“If you get preferential treatment because you are the top hunter, the authority of the academy professors will go down. I’m often different from the average top-level hunter, but that’s different from being a professor.”
The driving force behind Seonghyun’s direct leadership of this cause.
It was supported by so many people.
There were those who received grace from Seong-Hyeon and those who did not, but they all had one thing in common that no one could deny.
The hope that those who have received the grace will be able to receive it again.
The expectation that those who did not receive grace will one day receive grace.
There may be people who feel they do not need Seong-hyeon’s grace, but the fact that even they always value their lives more than anything else played a big role.
The support of everyone, regardless of status, power, power, money, etc.
Seong-hyeon was the only person in the world who could exert such an influence.
There were, of course, people who had learned a lot like professors.
“That is correct. Are you saying that you will continue to come as a student?”
“yes. There is no other way than that. If I come to the academy like that, I will continue to sit with the professors.”
It was within the permissible range for Seong-hyun to directly meet with professors and talk about classes, but for Seong-hyun to become a professor in person is a completely different story.
It’s okay to scratch their ego a little, but it’s those who will rebel against anyone who breaks their authority.
I’ve learned a lot, so I’m making the most of them.
“Are you starting tomorrow?”
“It’s not urgent, but the sooner the better.”
“All right. Professor Sung’s vacancy will be replaced by me for a while.”
“thank you.”
It started in earnest from now on.
The first step towards a cause.
