Chapter 38 – Of Course You Will Pass!

#

“Then see you later at lunchtime.”
“Yes~”

Shin Hye-yeon laughed and walked away.
Even though she was a classmate of hers unfortunately, her and her lectures did not overlap much.
First of all, it was because there was a difference of two levels in the grade, and there was a slight difference in the specialty.

Now I’m a C-class, but I couldn’t openly brag about it.
I can’t show my status to others and say that I became C-class in one day.

Some students who saw me creating a friendly atmosphere with Shin Hye-yeon approached me.

“Sunggyu, are you dating Shin Hyeyeon?”
“Don’t you see Seulgi now?”

Their faces were full of doubt.
It was natural.
They would be more accustomed to me creating a sweet atmosphere with Seulgi Lee.

At least the other students thought I was getting along well with Seulgi Lee.
Because she was charming, at least in her appearance.

“I broke up with Seulgi.”

“Okay? Somehow I haven’t seen it lately. She must have been very shocked after breaking up with you.”
“It’s a little bit late to say this, but the two of you didn’t feel like you got along that well. No matter how much I think about it, Sunggyu is a pity for you.”
“By the way, was Shin Hye-yeon that pretty?”
“It was pretty. Hyeyeon Shin. It’s because she doesn’t decorate herself. The car is also a ferra. I did not know?”
“Was that car a Ferrari?”
“Yes, it looks simple, but it is a car worth over 200 million.”
“Two, two hundred million…?”

The classmates who were talking to me looked at me with envious eyes.
It’s not like meeting Shin Hye-yeon for her money at all.

I’m actually 40, and I don’t like luxury, so I’ve had enough money to drive a Ferrari.
Having a lot of money is certainly a good thing, but there are more important things in the world than that.

I had 21 misfortunes in my previous life, so my relationship with Shin Hye-yeon was more precious.

“Yes, Seong-gyu, you should meet Shin Hye-yeon.”
“Now I can open my stomach.”

“Ha ha, is that so?”

Depending on what you hear, it may sound a little rude, but Seulgi Lee didn’t seem to like it in the eyes of the other students either.
It was just that I couldn’t see her real face because the me from her previous life was covered with bean pods.

The first lecture today was ‘Combat Practice’.
This time, the professor called the monster with the hologram, but he didn’t call me.

It was right after the lecture that he found me.

“It’s Sunggyu.”
“Yes, Professor.”
“Do you have an appointment for lunch today?”
“Yes, I’m going to have a meal with my girlfriend.”
“What about a girlfriend!”

The professor laughed like it was absurd.

“I know it’s a good time, but as long as you’re in a relationship, you can’t do much in this world. Since you can see sprouts, I’m saying this in particular.”
“Thank you.”
“Anyway, call your girlfriend saying you can’t meet during lunch.”
“Why?”
“Did I tell you before? There is someone I would like to introduce to you. I’m going to have dinner with him today, so let’s go too.”
“Who is he?”
“You know Gaon Academy, right?”
“Are you Gaon?”

Of course I knew.
The best hunter academy in Korea.
An academy usually meant an institution that specialized in training only hunters, excluding universities.
There were students who went to the academy at the same time as going to university, but usually they chose one of the two.

To enter the academy, you had to take a much tougher exam than the university.
From interview to theory to practice.

Of course, students who were judged to be elite even without going through that process were already scouted at the high school level.
The general perception is that academies are far ahead of universities, with some accepting donations for admission.

Gaon is the best among them.
It was no exaggeration to say that hunters who graduated from Gaon Academy are active in the top guild in Korea and are leading the hunter world.

But why is the professor suddenly bringing up Gaon Academy?

“I’m supposed to meet with the director there today. I did a good job talking about you to the director. If you do well, you can enter as a scholarship student.”
“Are you a scholarship student?”

I didn’t understand.
To become a Gaon Academy scholarship student, you had to have a tremendous level of talent.
It should already be verified at the high school student stage.

Hunters of A-rank or higher often benefited from it.
It had to be at least B grade.
But to think that such an opportunity came to me who is a D-class all of a sudden.

“Gaon formed a partnership with us. I decided to accept one as a scholarship student unconditionally. A first-year student with a promising future. I highly recommend you.”
“Yes? Why me?”
“There are many cases where kids with high grades already belong to other academies. And in my eyes, arrogant and lazy. Anyway, the scholarship system has nothing to do with grades. Rather, it is institutionalized to select various grades. No matter how much I look at it, I came to the conclusion that there is no talent like you.”

Perhaps the performance I showed during the last lecture seemed to be to the professor’s liking.
No matter what, it’s Gaon Academy.

I wondered if this was the right thing to do.

Of course, if you enter the academy, you can receive the highest level of education.
But on the contrary, if you couldn’t keep up with the class, you could literally become a bridesmaid.
I know they take tests every month, and Gaon Academy was famous for ruthlessly cutting out untalented students.

If that happened, I would be embarrassed to look at the professor who recommended me.

“All right. Thank you.”
“Yeah, that’s how it should be. Haha!”

The professor patted me on the back.

No matter how difficult the conditions were, this was an opportunity not to be missed.
As a hunter, I saw how much academy graduates outperform ordinary hunters.
Their origins themselves were a testament to their abilities.

Among them, if you had a signboard called Gaon Academy, you were guaranteed to enter the guild and quickly become a team leader.
Gaon Academy scholarship student.
Of course it will have a positive effect on my specs.

‘Because it’s different from my previous life.’

I think the professor’s recommendation for me was a bit hasty, but after all, he was right.
Among the high-ranking students, many talented or wealthy students were already affiliated with the academy.
And the rest…
In the eyes of the professor, all of them would have seemed below the level.

‘That’s what creates this butterfly effect.’

The sub-quest that came to mind at that time led to the recommendation of Gaon Academy as a scholarship student.

“It hasn’t been decided yet. The director there is picky, so it’s best to look good if you can. All I can do for you is recommend. Once you get in there, you’re going to get a harsh evaluation.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Yeah, don’t be afraid. Haha.”

The professor informed me of the appointment time and place.

The meeting place was a restaurant not far from the school.
It was a luxurious restaurant and operated by reservation.

‘Because there is a system.’

If I was just a normal D-class hunter like in my previous life, it would be right to refuse to enter Gaon Academy.
Because the outcome to be met there was so obvious.

I knew what level the hunters from there were.
The professor said it easily, but already within the academy, a competition reminiscent of social life was unfolding.

But I had a system.
In less than a week after returning to it, he became a C-class Hunter.

‘As long as it goes like this.’

I thought that it might not be that hard to endure at Gaon Academy.

This is an opportunity that should not be missed.
If I take the elite course, my life will definitely change.

‘One thing I regret.’

It was the fact that if I was busy with my academy classes, I would have less time to date Shin Hye-yeon.

After all, she had to let her know that they couldn’t have lunch together.
With a heavy heart, I called Shin Hye-yeon.

– Mr. Seong-gyu!

Shin Hye-yeon, who quickly answered the phone as if she had been waiting, gave a welcome voice.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think we can have lunch together today.”
– Yes? Why?

I informed the situation.
The professor recommended me to Gaon Academy, and today I decided to meet the director and have an interview.

– And! Really? Congratulation!

That I couldn’t keep my lunch appointment today.
And although it was regrettable that if I became busy, I would have less time to date, but Shin Hye-yeon immediately congratulated me.

– I knew Seong-gyu would take a chance! You will definitely pass!

Seeing Shin Hye-yeon as happy as her work made her feel ashamed of me for thinking about it for a moment.
In order to become a boyfriend suitable for Leah Shin, I had to work tirelessly.

“I’ll let you know the results after an interview later.”
– Yes, I’m sure it will work out, so don’t worry. Celebrate with us tonight!
“Ha ha, yes.”

It was a very confident tone, so it didn’t bother me at all.
Just listening to her tone made it seem like she had passed the exam.

‘Anyway.’

After returning, I could only say that my life was truly a flowery road.
