Chapter 192 – Summoner Junior
“So you’re trying to become a hunter to find that cat again?”
“That is the biggest reason, but I was actually interested in it. There were many Hunters that I admired. Just after coming to Korea, the culture is very different from Brazil, so I decided to try it here.”
“Okay.”
“Continue talking about the academy. Where did you say Sungkyu’s academy was? Gown?”
“It’s Gaon.”
“Gaon, Gaon…”
Lua Kim pulled out her own cellphone and started searching for her.
“Uh? Is it a very famous place?”
I continued to eat while she surfed her web.
The best thing about kimchi jjigae here is that it keeps going no matter how many times you eat it.
The balance of taste is so subtle that you can’t stop eating even when you’re full.
“Ah…”
Rua Kim suddenly gave out a surprised voice.
“Is the dean here Kim Ga-hee Hunter?”
“Yes, what about it?”
“I really liked this Hunter. Are you doing anything else now? Only the dean?”
“Yeah, I had some work. Getting injured made it difficult to enter S-class dungeons. I founded the academy, saying that an S-class hunter who cannot enter an S-class dungeon on her own is meaningless.”
“Ah, that’s right~”
Rua Kim declared.
“I want to go to Gaon too!”
“Yes? That’s kind of…”
It was unfortunate for her, but Gaon was not an easy academy to get into.
Even donations to admitted students are not well received.
Parents’ certain social status and qualifications as a hunter must be guaranteed to allow admission.
In the case of Luah Kim, she could be considered both, but she was very enthusiastic and said she wanted to be a hunter.
Besides, she said that she longed for Gahee Kim.
If he entered Gaon Academy with that kind of heart, he would be 100% disappointed.
Even if you pay a huge donation and enter the academy, the donation students are not properly taken care of here.
It is treated as students who exchanged diplomas for money by weaving them together.
Most of it is true, but not 100%.
This was the case with Kim Eana and I.
‘Now…’
Of course there may be exceptions.
Because Kim Ga-eun came in as a professor not too long ago.
She was a professor with completely different values from other professors.
It was not long before she gave us a lot of time because of her decision and with the exceptional permission of her academy.
If it was now, Kim Rua would have entered the academy and Kim Ga-eun could receive proper care.
‘Will that be enough though?’
Kim Ga-eun is a professor who has completed various types of education curriculum, but there is no guarantee that she can teach summoners well, which is a very rare class.
She was still unsure if coming to Gaon would help Kim Rua, unless she could grow with the attention and help of other professors.
In addition, Gaon had to pay as much money for admission as the name value.
I don’t know how much money the Kim Rua family has, but she didn’t know that in most cases she would end up spending a lot of money on worthless things.
“Why? I heard there is a donation admission?”
“That is a bit expensive. I don’t know if it’s worth paying to come in here.”
I was honest about my situation.
The treatment I received so far after entering as a transfer student.
It’s gotten better lately, but the dean still doesn’t even care about C class students.
As he listened to the story, Rua Kim’s expression grew darker.
“The Korean hunter world isn’t all that bright either.”
“Certainly yes. Especially at the top level. It is a very cold and cruel world.”
“Ah… I thought I got along well with Seong-gyu. If possible, I wanted to go to the same academy as Seong-gyu…”
As if she suddenly lost her appetite with Kim Lua, she tapped her rice with a spoon and said.
“You don’t have to stick to the academy. There are many hunters who have succeeded by training alone. If you join the guild quickly like that, your experience will be ahead of others, so it can be rather profitable. And summoners like Mr. Lua are more rare…”
“Yes? Is that the summoner?”
I was taken aback by Kim Rua’s question.
Alas.
I told her what I had learned from her information window.
But you don’t even know what class you are, this lady?
“I heard you made the cat disappear earlier… Isn’t it?”
“Is that related to summoning? Then do you know how to bring the cat back? Who is Seong-gyu?”
“No, because I’m not a summoner…”
Through Lee Seung-ah, he obtained the special ability of ‘understanding of summoning’, but there was no summoning technique that could be used yet.
I was learning magic little by little through books, but I hadn’t done that with summoning yet.
‘Come to think of it…’
Lee Seung-ah was an S-class demon sorcerer.
The basics of demonic art were related to summoning.
That’s why she had a special ability like ‘Understanding Summoning’.
“Mr. Lua, have you eaten?”
“Ah yes. Wait a minute.”
As if she hadn’t been beating rice with a spoon since when, Rua Kim started eating rice and kimchi stew again.
It wasn’t a diet that cared about the body at all.
Even more so, despite being the hottest rising model right now.
Considering that she is mid-170 cm tall, and that she has a voluminous body, having inherited her mother’s blood, it seems that she burns a lot more calories than the average Korean woman.
“Ah, it is really delicious! Enter endlessly! Why is this, this? Were you on drugs?”
Rua Kim, who heard her praising her kimchi stew from a distance, looked over and smiled at her hostess.
#
After finishing her meal with Lua Kim, I bought three cups of green tea Purapuccino and went to school.
Two cups belonged to Rua Kim and me, and the other was bought for Seungah Lee, who was in the club room.
She never saw her drink her green tea, but she thought it would be okay since it’s mostly her favorite drink.
Considering her youthful image, it seemed that coffee would be more disliked.
“He is here? Summoner?”
“It’s a bit different from a normal summoner, but it’s right to understand it that way in a broad sense.”
“Can he tell you the secret of the cat’s disappearance?”
“I am still not sure. However, since she knows more than me, there is a high possibility that she knows why.”
“It must be true destiny.”
“What?”
“I chose Seong-gyu today. Even then, I never thought that Seong-gyu would be a hunter. Like this, I’m going to meet Summoner-nim through Seong-gyu.”
“Yes, what. I might as well see it.”
“No, I don’t mean that.”
Rua Kim involuntarily blushed.
She wasn’t particularly misunderstood, but she looked concerned because she might have sounded as if she had confessed to me.
Without saying much, I went with her to her Demon Sorcery club, wearing the guise of her ‘Magic Research Club’.
Since she had already finished her share of Green Tea Furappuccino, she gave me mine which she hadn’t put her mouth on yet.
Smart.
When she arrived at the club room and knocked on the door, there was no response from inside.
Knowing from experience that this does not mean there was no one inside, I grabbed the handle and turned it.
The door to the club room was not locked today.
And, as expected, it wasn’t empty either.
Lee Seung-ah was sitting and reading a book in the same posture as the last time I saw her.
It seemed that an aura that was manifested in a state of high concentration was rising around her.
“Is that him?”
As Kim Lua looked at Lee Seung Ah, she asked.
“Yes.”
“I didn’t know you were such a cute person.”
Ever since Kim Rua heard Lee Seung-ah’s story from me, she had been using her honorific title, calling her ‘Summoner-sama’ all along.
Actually, her age is only two years older, and since Lee Seung-ah is so young, she actually looked younger than us.
After hearing our conversation, Lee Seung-ah finally realized that there was a visitor.
He looked up from the book and looked at us.
“Ah! It’s Sunggyu!”
Then he turned his attention to Rua Kim.
“Who…”
“Hello! Seniors! Greetings from the far-out summoner junior Lua Kim!”
Rua Kim bent her back and she greeted her loudly.
Didn’t she say that until recently she lived mostly in Brazil?
Beyond speaking Korean well, she was even very respectful in her attitude towards her seniors.
“Summoner… Junior?”
Naturally, Lee Seung-ah put on an expression that he did not understand.
I gave her the green tea Frappuccino I bought for her.
“Eat this for now.”
“Huh? I don’t drink green tea because it’s bitter?”
“Ah…”
As a result, all three cups of green tea Frappuccino bought at the cafe belonged to Rua Kim.
We sat down together and started talking about Kimrua’s missing cat.
