Chapter 39 – I’ll Show You ‘Swordsmanship’.

#

“Hello.”

As there is a seat, I changed my clothes at home.
I was so frugal in my previous life that I didn’t have any fancy clothes, so I thought I’d come back for nothing.
However, I dressed as neatly as possible and went to the restaurant.

The director and professor of Gaon Academy reserved a large room and sat there.

“Forgive me for being late.”
“No, what are you saying after coming ten minutes early? I just came quickly because we have something to talk about when we meet first. Come sit down.”

Said the professor.
It was the first time I actually saw the director of Gaon Academy.

I knew him well because he was so famous.
In my previous life, I had seen it a few times from a distance, and the rest was all I had seen on TV.
She often tried to become a minister in the government, but until the end she was a woman with her own perseverance who remained as the director of the academy.

I was surprised that the director was younger than I thought.
I think it was because at least 10 years later, more remains in my impression.

He must be in his 40s in real life, but from the outside he looked like he was in his early to mid 30s.

Gaon Kim Ga-hee is the director of Gaon Academy who has a rather strict impression.

She looked at me and said

“Your physique is good.”
“Yes? How handsome is her face too? First of all, it will be good for your academy if you just admit them unconditionally. Do you know Girls will line up to come in.”

As the professor half-jokingly said, Gahee Kim twisted the corners of her lips.

“Don’t joke. After all, our academy wanted hunters to come in, so they lined up. Besides, what kind of face does Hunter have? When you go into a dungeon, things like physique don’t matter at all.”

It was a bit cold, but I fully sympathized with her words as a hunter with 15 years of experience.
Gaon Academy is a place that does not need publicity.
Because the signboard of Kim Ga-hee is already publicity itself.
She was an S-class Hunter.
After she was seriously injured in an S-class dungeon, she rested to recover and was invited by her to create her own academy.
And the academy quickly became famous and eventually became the best academy in Korea.

Even in her previous life, she had hardly seen an S-class Hunter.
At this time, Gahee Kim was still recovering her body.
Nevertheless, an aura that could never be felt by an A-rank hunter naturally flowed out.

“Are you going to be strict?”
“I can’t help it, I’m not running the academy as a joke.”

Listening to the conversation between the professor and Kim Ga-hee seemed to be quite close.
I thought maybe it wasn’t the former priests.

What Gahee Kim said was true.
I remember her interview she did.
She promises that there will never be a Hunter who has an unfortunate accident inside the dungeon like herself.
With that kind of spirit, there were a lot of students who were cut off or jumped out because they couldn’t stand it.

No matter how you look at it, from Kim Ga-hee’s point of view, I would have been nothing more than a parachute student.
It was clear that I wasn’t expecting much.

Only a cup of tea was placed in front of Gahee Kim and her professor.
The staff who confirmed that people were gathered came to ask if they would like to eat.

Then Gahee Kim said.

“Wait a minute. I’ll decide whether to order three or two servings and tell you.”

The employee confirmed that there were three people here and put on a somewhat puzzled expression, but he bowed down anyway and disappeared.

I could understand Gahee Kim’s intentions.
It seemed that she was probably thinking of going to her job interview right away.
She seems to think that if she’s not going to attend the academy anyway, she doesn’t have to share a meal with him.

Said the professor, clicking her tongue.

“Your real personality hasn’t changed at all. Are you really going to embarrass me?”
“Sorry, professor. I will compensate you later.”
“Eh~ Tsk.”

The ‘combat practice’ professor also had his own personality.
When Gahee Kim came out with a serious expression, she put on a pouting expression.

However, no matter what anyone said, Kim Ga-hee held the initiative.
Despite her title as Gaon Academy Headmaster, she was an S-class Hunter.
Although she is now out of the line due to injuries, she only had twelve S-class Hunters throughout Korea.
She could rightly say that she was the one at the top of the pyramid.

The professor pouted, resting his chin on her chin and averted his gaze.

Gahee Kim did not blink an eye even after seeing it.
She was, in a way, a really great woman.

“There is nothing wrong with an interview. Student, do you have any skills?”

Gahee Kim asked me.
Her professor was startled and told her.

“Gahee! He’s a freshman in college! What a skill!”
“Among our academy students, there is no student without a single skill. Since he’s a D-class, he must have a skill that can offset that.”

Gahee Kim turned her gaze back to me.

“How is it? Don’t you?”
“There is.”

Ga-hee Ga-hee’s eyes widened slightly when I answered.
The professor was startled and turned to me.

“Really? Sunggyu You have a skill?”

Professors had to know in detail about the identity of their students.
They generally knew little about whether students had the skills or not.

“Sorry. I got it a few days ago. I was going to tell you, but I forgot.”
“Doesn’t care. Haha! After all, you are me! Class D Hunter already has the skill! Haha! Gahee, did you hear? You have skills.”

Gahee Kim crossed her arms.

“Skill itself is not important. It doesn’t matter what skill it is. Of all the skills, 60% are skills that cannot be used in dungeons. How are you, student? Can I see what that skill is?”

I had two skills and one special ability.
Among them, ‘steel stamina’ was not a skill that could be shown right away.
The same goes for ‘Scouter’.
This was an ability that would only benefit me.

“I will show you.”

However, there was a skill that I could show to Kim Ga-hee now.

‘Black’.

I learned it through Shin Hye-yeon in this life, but sop, which was basically installed in my last life, was a very familiar skill.

“Excuse me.”

I took a few steps back.
After that, I took the sword out of my inventory.

Gahee Kim and the professor watched me with interest.

“I will show you the ‘sword skill’.”

At my words, both eyes widened.

“Wait a minute, ‘sword skill’? Didn’t I say you were D-class?”
“Actually, it is C-class. The ratings went up a while ago.”

Gahee Kim’s eyes narrowed.
The professor’s expression also changed slightly to be embarrassed.

It was a story that did not fit common sense, such as saying that he would use ‘sword skill’ and that his grade had risen to C rank.
Rating is the most basic criterion for evaluating a Hunter.

Naturally, all hunters struggle to raise their ranks.
And it was never easy.

20 years until college days.
Through hard work, I raised two grades.

It was hard to believe in common sense that a freshman in college raised a grade right away.

The professor, who believed in me so strongly, also had a slightly blurred expression.
If I had been a bluffing and lying student contrary to my beliefs, I would have no face dealing with Kim Ga-hee.

“Student, do you know what kind of seat this is? I hate liars the most. I’m sorry, but because of me, the student’s future may be dark. If you tell me the truth now, I will understand.”

I looked straight at Kim Ga-hee.

“How dare I lie in front of the dean?”

At my words, Kim Ga-hee was taken aback.

“Okay. I will show you.”

The two stared at me seriously.

I raised my sword right away.
In fact, it was very easy to show ‘sword skills’.

It’s not even called demonstration.
The two of them would recognize my skill right away, without having to cut anything to show it.

I grabbed the sword and breathed mana into it.
Although it is level 1, it was enough to show its existence.

Soon, a faint light appeared on the sword.

The professor’s eyes widened.
A skill that is difficult for even a student who has awakened to A level is ‘sword skill’.
This is a skill that can only be acquired through experience and training.

I drew my sword straight ahead.

Boooung-

A visibly visible cluster of lights burst in front of the smoothly dropped sword.

Undoubtedly, ‘sword skill’.
The anxious professor’s expression suddenly brightened.

Haha! That’s real! Our Sunggyu, you really knew how to use ‘sword skills’!”

He, who had been anxious about it, completely removed his doubts.

“C-class? Could it be that the rating measurement was wrong in the first place? Well, there is no way that a D-class hunter can use ‘sword skill’.”

When I showed my ‘sword skills’, I had no doubt that I was a C-class.

Kim Ga-hee’s frowned forehead was also straightened.

She said to her outside.

“Please bring me some food.”

An employee came in and asked.

“How many servings can I prepare?”
“Three servings, please.”
“All right.”

The professor chuckled and told me.

“I will be hungry. Please sit down.”
