Chapter 349 – Episode 349 – [Ending] Youth Led by a Boy [SSS Club]
* Episode 349 – [Ending] Youth led by a boy [SSS Club]
And the fun time has passed, and we have welcomed a new year.
Well, that doesn’t mean I suddenly became an adult.
At most, [1st year middle school student].
‘I thought I was already a middle school student, but when I came to my senses, I was in the 6th grade of elementary school, so I guess it wasn’t too early.’
The so-called puberty season.
It is the age when one realizes one’s sexuality and when boys become mischievous and [Appeal their strength to girls].
Children who have already developed precocious maturity experience it starting from elementary school, but on average, it often appears during middle school.
This is no exception.
“Hey, Hong Chang-gi. They say you’re an idiot without an Auror. What kind of guy can you trust and shamelessly join them?”
“…”
Lunch time.
The recess time was the longest and an argument broke out at the time the children were most looking forward to it.
The reason is obvious.
It’s because of our kids.
I tend to spend time with them all the time, but I can’t openly say that I’m jealous, so I act out without being able to control my emotions.
Her Seong-yeon, who has finally started to regain her violent body, Ceres, a cool European beauty who has already been impressed by her shining appearance, and Ian, her witch who has already slapped quite a few goddesses by saying that her mother’s blood is not going anywhere. …
After some time after entering the school, there is no one I don’t know in the school.
In the case of So-yeon, who shows her face every day, the teachers are friendly to her, except when joking, so I was embarrassed when the homeroom teacher in civilian clothes appeared the other day while I was playing at Ian’s.
… For your information, I grew up normally.
Although it is still large, there was no fire and no burns in this episode.
Maybe that’s why, unlike before, he didn’t have a fierce look and grew up like an ordinary, big student.
“Hey, say something. Or are you scared? Are you trying to get help from those crazy girls?”
“…”
“You’re a sullen bastard who doesn’t even talk to kids. You hang out with girls all day. Aren’t you embarrassed?”
‘Which part is embarrassing?’
I guess that’s why… A fight broke out.
It’s not a joke like in elementary school, it’s a sincere argument.
It may have been the male’s own appeal to the three females behind me, but that’s why I had nothing to say.
When you get older, you’ll realize how embarrassing you are, but now dopamine takes priority over reason.
“… How does he think we’ll act if he wins?”
“Isn’t it a simple idea that if you are stronger, you will look cooler?”
“More than that, I’m the one who kicked it this time too…”
With a whisper coming from behind me, I remembered how things came to this.
Normally, I was quite big in my class, so there was almost no one who started an argument.
However, this atmosphere became the starting point of ‘that’ implemented at the school.
…
…
…
… It was 1 month ago.
It was before the new summer of my first year of middle school.
Peaceful (?) Days when I was absentmindedly attending class while thinking back to last year when I was in the 6th grade of elementary school.
Meanwhile, only ugly things are being reported about criminals gathered at the Silver Tower. In the end, the [Hunter Aptitude Test], Which had been postponed by the Office of Education, was implemented simultaneously in each school.
“The hunter inspection is a bit late in this episode. Wasn’t the inspection done all at once around elementary school?”
“Well, I don’t know. I lived in the slums, not at school, in either episode… How was Ian?”
“I also got it when I was in elementary school. This episode, there might be a problem with the Silver Tower droppers. I think the government may have delayed the inspection.”
“Why?”
“There’s a lot of talk about it in the news. Even if you test for an Auror, you could end up becoming a criminal later, so there’s an opinion that it’s better not to do an aptitude test. In response to that, there’s even an opinion that since our country still has the Golden Tower, a test is necessary to attack that… Politicians too. Your head must hurt a lot, right?”
“Oh, there’s that too…”
Everyone agreed with Ian’s reasonable guess.
As she said, the number of criminals related to hunters is increasing, so she may have hesitated for a while to see public opinion.
“If you think about it now, isn’t this like the process of selecting students at school to become soldiers?”
“That’s right. The kids all seem to be having fun… But it’s scary to know the truth.”
“I guess the situation is better than the boys in that they are not forced to enlist…”
It’s funny when I think about it now.
If you don’t have hunter talent, you’re guaranteed to enlist. On the other hand, if you are a hunter with a talent for Auror, you are exempted under the condition of attacking the tower.
But in reality, the activity in the tower itself was a defense activity, so the country benefited either way.
“… You’re not going to enlist this time, right?”
“No problem. Do you think I’ll enlist twice at my age?”
She shook her shoulders and frowned at Seongyeon’s question.
Where is number two?
If I add up all the memories I’ve had over and over again, I enlisted more than a hundred times.
I felt like I would really go crazy if I started to remember and become aware of the memories, so I locked them away and ignored them.
“Next person!”
“It’s my turn~!”
We gathered at the gym and were all tested together.
The students lined up and Seongyeon stepped forward, saying it was her turn.
The man and woman, who appeared to be government officials or from the hunter association, checked Seongyeon’s physical condition and presented a suspicious-looking measuring board.
“Please put your hand here.”
“Remove strength from your body. “You must not move.”
Seongyeon’s hand goes up on the green instrument panel with an impressive metal border.
Then, the round sphere installed between them began to shine, and it became so bright that it soon filled the gymnasium.
“Uh, huh, huh,~!?”
「Uuuuu~~!!!」
They must have been taken aback by the sudden situation, making endless noises of surprise. Everyone’s attention was focused on this brilliant light.
Eventually, as the light subsided, the three letters [SSS] Emerged beautifully above the shining sphere connected to the instrument.
「Triple S!!」
「T-Really? A child like this!?”
“It’s my first time seeing this!!”
A government official from a country other than the association came running and demanded a second inspection.
Of course, [SSS] Did not change no matter how many times I tried it.
Their commotion spread to the surrounding area, and Seongyeon couldn’t help but feel embarrassed as she hops back.
“Huh? I was originally S-class! Why did I become a triple this time!?”
They made a fuss, saying that no matter how much they went back, that was the only thing that didn’t change.
As expected, it was the goddess who answered these questions.
〈Jealous family goddess〉
[I told you, this time it’s not regression, it’s turning back time]
[It’s not a complete reset, so your experience and strength remain]
[Plus, he is the new rookie’s companion, so that has an impact as well]
“You say ─?”
“Ahh…!”
If you think about it, I was a god.
Aside from that, unlike other gods, I was not connected to the system or assigned a tower, so I forgot about it.
I even wonder if it is that important now.
“If Seongyeon is like that…”
“… Are you saying that’s the case for us too?”
Next it was Ian’s turn.
Seongyeon was next, so the dashboard glowed as her excitement continued.
「Ohhh~!」
“What! SSS again~!?”
“Isn’t the instrument panel broken as expected!?”
“That can’t be possible! “I brought out a spare just in case!”
This also reached its maximum.
Naturally, the association and public officials were mixed up and there was an uproar.
Ian was also re-examined several times, and several reporters waiting at the gym made shutter sounds.
The sight of people taking pictures without permission and muttering to themselves, ‘This is a scoop’ is extremely unpleasant.
“It’s true. My Auror has also increased significantly. It’s not at a level that a child’s body can handle.”
“If you said that all women influenced by her brother were like this, then I would be the same.”
Next is Ceres.
There is no need to describe it, the result was as expected.
“Really, what day is today!?”
“And again and again SSS! This is the third person!?”
“Didn’t you lower the standard?”
“No! It’s running fine!”
“SSS level… Wasn’t he a talented person who could be counted on one hand in the entire world!?”
“That’s three!”
People flocked to Ceres, conducted a re-examination, and a reporter rushed in to inquire about her identity.
I thought this would be noisy for a while, so I stayed calm, and I was moved to the next row to conduct the test alone.
“If you can do that, how much can I do?”
“Because you’re a god, aren’t you going to destroy the dashboard?”
“You mean the direction that often appears in comics? … This idiot might really be able to do it.”
I received a stinging glare from Ian.
While Ceres was returning from her talk next to her, the civil servant shouted.
“Next person!”
He seemed to have expectations for me, just in case.
Nervously, I stepped forward and placed my hand on the dashboard held out by the person from the association.
“Stay calm.”
“Stay still…”
When I touched the instrument panel, the sphere installed in front began to glow.
In response to that reaction, he who came out of the association also looked forward to it with a look in his eyes that said, ‘This kid too!?’
「… ?」
It glowed for just a moment, and then the light of the sphere that confirmed the amount of aura went out.
There was a slight cracking sound, but I guess this person didn’t hear it.
“How did it go?”
I asked again, wondering if it was D-level again.
Then he touched the sphere that began to smoke and recited.
“Impossible to measure… ?」
Just in case, he asked me to do the test again, but the results were the same.
All the dashboards I used were broken and smoking all at once.
“Look. It’s broken as expected!”
“Hmm. Looks like it doesn’t explode like a cartoon. It’s not fun.”
Ian was disappointed in some strange ways, but perhaps because he wasn’t glowing or anything, his attention wasn’t focused on that area.
The person in charge went to my boss with a broken instrument panel, pointed at me, and said something.
Of course, since this was the first time something like this had happened, they were confused and came back only after deciding something.
「Please wait until further contact.」
Then, he proudly wrote [Auror: None] In my personal information and sent it back.
Still, I thought something was wrong and waited for someone to call me back, but there was no call.
Even if I call it back, the work will only increase. So there is no reason to call it out.
This was also official-style work done.
…
…
…
… And then we returned to the present and this was the situation.
The test was conducted at the school, and of course the teachers know the students’ personal information.
Already, three SSS-level students showed up in our class, and reporters started hanging out at the front door, so the rumor eventually spread through our chatty homeroom teacher.
[They said they got SSS in the last Auror test!]
↓
[Really?]
[Oh, that’s why the broadcasting station guys at the entrance asked me if I knew them!]
[That’s right! He even asked me if I knew his contact information!]
↓
[Then what level is a prostitute?]
[Why Changgi?]
[Why, he’s the leader among those three!]
↓
[He doesn’t have an Auror!]
[My homeroom teacher told me!]
↓
[Really? All the kids I go with are SSS level?]
… It is the same flow.
It is true that not having an Auror makes one an outcast, but it is true that one is looked down on by others.
It goes without saying that these are boys who are in the middle of puberty and want to look good in front of girls.
There are already kids who know how to use Aurors, and there are also kids who play with it.
Violence on campus using Aurors.
This was also a kind of social problem.
“… Okay. What did you just say? I think the Auror did something. Can you tell me more?”
“Ohhhhh~~~!!!”
My classmate and I are bending our wrists in a clasped position.
Of course, I didn’t use any Aurors, just my bare body that I had trained so far.
At first, her classmate tried to respond with an Auror, but soon her complexion changed, and she fell to her knees and trembled.
“Surrender?”
“Heh, Hangboooook~!”
“The teacher told me not to use Auror at school. Why did you suddenly do that?”
“S-sorry… Really… Sorry! It was a joke! A joke!”
“Rather than following a woman… Hiding behind a woman… You joke around and then say harsh words?”
“Oh my~!? I apologize if I offended you! I won’t say things like that anymore! Furthermore, I’m going to emcee!”
“They said it was a prank. Why would there be any reason to put my parents on the hook for a prank like that? Let’s go together happily. We’re classmates, right?”
“-Laughs!?”
I unscrewed the pod and pushed it back.
“Kuh!?”
He rolled around on the classroom floor and hit his head on the back door.
The door slams! The children looked startled at the ringing sound, but fortunately, I was relieved to see them wake up unharmed.
“The powerful play of a hunter who returned to middle school…?”
“He’s my boyfriend, but I feel embarrassed.”
“Oppa. You really aren’t mature enough.”
It’s just as they say.
It really wasn’t adult-like.
Same class… What are you doing with middle school students?
“I was on my way to eat. It’s a little late, so let’s go to the snack bar today.”
“Yeah, yeah~! Let’s go to the snack bar~!”
“Your face is red. Why? Are you embarrassed because you won middle school at that age~? Our regression hunter?”
“… Noisy. You called yourself a witch, so why are you doing this to me?”
“It looks like my brother is reflecting on it too, so don’t bother mentioning it.”
“And you’re smiling heartily too.”
Hehe.”
Feeling embarrassed by the boy Lee Sang who rushed at me, I quickly left, and the girls followed after me.
Maybe this incident was the trigger, but since then, no one has attacked me or looked down on me.
And at this time, we got the strange group name [SSS Club] Through the mouths of our classmates.
The world’s only guild that will make a fuss in the world until it disappears into the tower.
It was also the beginning.
