Having decided to establish an educational institution, I invited Jang-seok Woo, the president of Seyoon Precision Co., and the 1st Army of the Jeong-in Guild to have a full-fledged meeting.
“Wow, boss.”
“Yes. CEO.”
Woo Jang-seok, who used to be the president of a small industrial company, joined forces with me and rented equipment to help Se-yun Precision grow rapidly.
Truly a typical craftsman.
Thanks to this, Seyun Precision was developing more and more advanced equipment and growing smoothly, achieving 90% market share in my land.
“How many types of weapons do you have now?”
“Ummm… there are so many that it’s hard to list exactly how many.”
In the early days, most of them used swords and spears, but as time passed, the level of hunters became different, and as various materials poured in, more and more different types of weapons began to be used.
Recently, bows and oars boasting a level of tension that ordinary people cannot pull have appeared, and all kinds of cold weapons used before gunpowder weapons are receiving attention again.
“Because there are not just one or two types of swords, from daggers to long swords and giant swords.”
Even with the same hunter, each of them has different specialties and the weapons they fit into their hands are all different.
Hunters who were ordinary ordinary people, such as some who emphasized one-shot attacks because of their strong strength, and others who valued agility and preferred light weapons, gained experience and selected the weapon that was right for them according to their know-how.
So this educational institution has potential.
Because that experience will drastically reduce the time it takes to build up and make you grow much more efficiently.
“The more, the more the better.”
You’ll need to test many different types of weapons so you can find the one that’s right for you more quickly.
In addition, just as universities subdivide their departments, a more plausible educational institution will be equipped with a curriculum tailored to different types of weapons.
“Then there will be at least dozens.”
“good. Then, Mr. Wu, please provide equipment for the students who will enter the educational institution.”
I turned my head to the guild members of the Jeongin Guild and said:
“Next is the instructor.”
Just like I gave Lee Jae-jin a general instructor with combat skills, education and skills are not proportional.
In particular, the first-team guild members of the Jeongin Guild are truly great hunters that I have heard of at least once in my previous life.
In other words, he was close to a genius.
And a genius can’t comprehend an idiot.
The method of nurturing the 2nd Army was just chasing the 1st Army guild members to gain experience, so it doesn’t matter, but this is literally education.
Will they be able to teach students well?
I think the chances are low.
However, signage cannot be ignored.
Even if you are a tutor, just as you prefer a teacher from Seoul National University, the fact that you are being educated by one of the top guilds in Korea, the Jeongin Guild, can have a great publicity effect.
“It must be greedy to ask you to even perform as an instructor in a busy situation just by attacking the dungeon. However, this is all for the future of the Jeongin Guild. Did you feel it too? What a great strength it is to belong to the best guild in Korea.”
Then Jeongin Guild nodded.
“It is.”
“If you just say one word that you belong to the Jungin Guild, everyone’s eyes will change.”
I said with a smile.
“Then we have to keep it. Shouldn’t we continue to remain the best guild? This is a bridgehead for that. I’m not asking you to be there all the time. Instead, through rotation, only one or two students a day are educating students in a special lecture style. What. Take the students to the dungeon and teach them how to deal with monsters, etc. Of course, we will pay you.”
After all, these are signs.
The real combat training focuses on actual combat in dungeons under the protection of former soldiers from special forces and Hunter instructors.
“All right.”
“That’s about it.”
Instructors and equipment have been resolved.
In addition to this, when my information is combined, it’s over.
“Right now, all dungeons are divided into four levels.”
F, E, D, C grade dungeons.
However, this is only a standard just before death in a previous life, and the grades have always changed.
Because new dungeons kept appearing.
So, do I really need to be bound by this rating?
“Therefore, the student group will also be divided into four levels. We will set the easiest Dangjin dungeon as level 1 and increase the level as the difficulty increases.”
The school year system is not suitable for Hunter.
After all, the growth rates of hunters are all different.
So, it’s divided by grades like a certificate.
You can deal with all monsters in F-class dungeons, and only those with basic combat skills are given a first-class diploma.
In order for an educational institution to have authority, it must have public credibility.
It is to instill in the hunters the perception that a graduate of this educational institution can do enough for one person.
The name of this educational institution to be created is…
“The name of the educational institution is Hunter Training Academy. We will call it Hunter Academy for short.”
I thought about Jeongin Academy and other names, but decided that this educational institution should also have a public purpose.
“There are a lot of empty buildings right now, so let’s get started, shall we?”
Yang Seung-woo was an ordinary, new employee in his late 20s.
A newcomer who has not yet adapted to the company’s work.
That’s why I was always harassed by my shooters and bosses, but I worked harder than anyone else because I was desperate to earn money.
Then, one day, luck struck him.
It was just an awakening.
After that, Yang Seung-woo registered as an official hunter with the Hunter Agency, and the company gave up his resignation.
Now that I’m a hunter who earns hundreds of millions of dollars a year, what’s scary?
However.
“uh···”
Yang Seung-woo’s pupils shook as he looked at the various weapons and equipment displayed in the equipment store.
“What. Why are there so many?”
Even swords are of different lengths and weights, and even hammers and maces are virtually nonexistent.
Of course, it was natural for Yang Seung-woo, who had never held a weapon in his life, to have a choice problem.
Besides, the only money I had was 70 million won from the Hunter loan, and I was even more worried about what to do if I accidentally bought a bad weapon.
“Are you looking for something?”
Yang Seung-woo said at the merchant’s words.
“Can you give me some recommendations?”
“Um… is this your first time?”
“Yes.”
“That’s right. So, how about the best sword? This and this leather armor are called the national set among the newly awakened hunters.”
“ah. okay?”
“Yes. The total is 6,500, which is perfect for a loan, so many people use it.”
“Then give it to me.”
How to do half-threshing by just following what others are doing.
Yang Seung-woo headed to the Seongbuk-gu dungeon with basic equipment like that.
But the difficulties did not end there.
“How do I get in?”
You can go in alone.
The difficulty of Seongbuk-gu dungeon was the lowest among dungeons.
But for a beginner hunter like Yang Seung-woo, even that was a burden.
Although it is a monster, it was a burden for the first hunters who awakened to harm one’s life, and even the vague fear of capturing monsters and the unknown world.
No matter how I thought about it, I didn’t go in alone.
Yang Seung-woo looked around like that.
“········”
Everyone teamed up and headed for the dungeon.
But none of them spoke to Yang Seung-woo.
In the end, Yang Seung-woo gathered up his courage and approached a hunter team.
“there···”
“Yes?”
Hunter turned his head and looked at Yang Seung-woo and spoke softly.
“ah. I guess you just woke up?”
Why is the national set the national set?
A hunter who recognized Yang Seung-woo as a rookie so easily.
“Yes. So, by the way, can’t we move together?”
“Well···”
Then Hunter said with a sorry expression.
“Anyway, going with a beginner is a bit… it’s N bread anyway, but if a beginner gets stuck, the distribution is a bit strange.”
“I. I will only take two-thirds.”
“It’s kind of… ah. Do you see it over there?”
Then the hunter points to someone.
“There is someone over there wearing the same set.”
Like Yang Seung-woo, a female hunter wearing a national set and looking around.
Whoever it was, it was a rookie.
“It would be quickest to get together with people like that.”
With those words, the hunter team headed to the dungeon through Yang Seung-woo.
Yang Seung-woo said with a smile when the Hunter team disappeared from view.
“no. Was he a bae Tae-rang from the beginning? Not everyone had the same beginner days. Don’t you have this kind of acknowledgment? Where in the world is a newcomer with experience? This is how it all starts!!”
Yang Seung-woo, who was so dissatisfied, looked at the novice female hunter that the hunter had pointed to earlier.
“eww···”
And only then did Yang Seung-woo understand why Hunter rejected him.
“This is a little…”
Even as a beginner, I am reluctant to become a beginner, but that hunter would be terrified.
Yang Seung-woo, who thought that everything would be solved if he just awakened as a hunter, ran into difficulties from the start.
“Should the real beginners come together?”
But then.
Advertisements began to flow from the billboard installed on the roof of a nearby building.
-Worried about choosing equipment?
“···uh?”
Yang Seung-woo raised his head unconsciously and looked at the electronic board.
-You don’t know how to catch a monster? How to capture? Don’t worry now!
“uh!?”
Numerous pieces of equipment brush past the billboard.
-From swords to bows, we’ll lend you all the gear until you find one that fits your hand!! In addition, in connection with that, not only the educational curriculum suitable for each weapon, but also theory and practical training in the dungeon!! The perfect system for hunters who earn money and receive education in dungeons!
And suddenly, the appearance of the Jeongin Guild appeared on the billboard.
– Not only that! We will elevate your abilities even more through special lectures by guild members, who are the best guilds in Korea!
“Oh oh…!”
Yang Seung-woo’s eyes shine brightly.
-Specialized instructors and excellent educational environment. All of this for 500 per month!
You may think that 500 is expensive, but considering that you can rent all equipment at any time in addition to the training fee, it was absolutely not expensive.
-Come to Hunter Academy!
Yang Seung-woo exclaimed.
“That’s it!!”
Yang Seung-woo looked down at his equipment and said.
“It’s much more profitable to refund this and just register there!”
Hunter Academy’s response was explosive.
It was attractive not only to the hunters who had just awakened, but also to the hunters who were aiming for a higher level dungeon beyond the existing dungeon.
Hundreds of students flocked in in a matter of days.
They learn combat skills from the special forces instructor I hired, and when they feel they have been trained to a certain extent, they enter the dungeon under the protection of the hunter instructor and apply it in practice.
Then, if you think that the weapon doesn’t suit you, you can change it at any time, so it’s a paradise for novice hunters.
Naturally, all the by-products and dungeon items they have collected are all monopolized by me, and the Hunter Academy has been very successful.
“More than 200 students were enrolled in the first level course, and 50 to 60 students were enrolled in the other courses.”
I smiled and said at the words of the staff.
“It’s good.”
Even though the academy has just opened, the response is hot.
That said, there is a hidden desire for education.
That’s right, because there was no education system that had a high level of understanding about Hunters.
In such a situation, it would be nice to see an educational institution that automatically adapts to the dungeon even if it is just the body, carrying Jeongin Guild and Seyun Precision on their backs.
“Um… by the way, wouldn’t it be difficult to manage if there are more students?”
Currently, the standard that judges whether or not a Hunter has grown up is practical.
How much faster you hunted than usual.
How much easier to catch.
However, such a sloppy standard can only depend entirely on the instructor’s ability to confirm it or his or her arbitrary judgment.
This means that from the instructor’s point of view, he may give more generous points to the hunters he likes.
In that case, the discriminative power is too low.
Then there may be cases where real talent is lost.
So it shouldn’t be.
It is necessary to quantify the abilities of the Hunters.
I looked at the staff and said.
“Why don’t we get a test machine like a strength meter and see how the students’ abilities change each month, and so on.”
Then the employee said with a puzzled expression.
“Uh… there must be no place that sells test machines dedicated to hunters.”
The government or research institutes make and use various test machines to measure the ability of hunters, but there are no products on the market.
“If you don’t have it, make it to order. ‘Cause I’ll pay any money A machine that can measure more precisely and at a higher level than measuring the bodies of athletes in the Athletes Village.”
Strength, agility, muscle tissue, etc. It quantifies everything that can be grasped through the body and the test machine.
Then, according to the degree of change of the hunters, they infer their growth and distinguish the real talents.
Once the internal standards are established like that, from then on, you can observe the level of growth and change of students at a glance even though it is a real test result.
Just like sports clubs spend huge amounts of money on the maintenance of their players through specialized manpower and equipment, this amount can be invested in the search for talent.
“When there is a leader, there will also be laggards. Therefore, it has to run to a level that latecomers cannot even dare to do. None of it should be lacking. If you are a teacher, you are a teacher. testing machine cotton testing machine. I have no intention of saving money, so it is unconditional to the highest level.”
At my words, the employee bowed his head and said.
“All right. CEO.”
An employee who left the office after completing the report.
“A world where a Hunter Academy diploma proves the ability of a Hunter.”
It was the goal I wanted to achieve with the Hunter Academy.
It goes beyond a simple educational institution, and makes the Hunter Academy a reference point for the hunter world.
