Chapter 56 – Your Mother Rather Than You

#

The next day, instead of going to school, I went to Gaon Academy.
School isn’t strict about my attendance either, so I didn’t have to worry about that.

He has already faced the limitations of the academy.
Professors, including the dean, had no interest in the class I belonged to.

It’s a pity, but I thought it was rather good.
When I said that the class with the least interference within the academy was the class I belonged to, I knew that the probability of me being cut here was as small as that.

If the reason is the partnership between the academy and the university, that part can be satisfied just by bringing me along.
It meant that this academy needed me just as much as the students who went to school on scholarships.
If I didn’t cut it and didn’t care, then for me it was enough to use the facilities of this academy as much as possible.
Eat as much as you can pull out.

‘Then…’

I wondered if there would be a chance to be promoted to another class naturally.
Among these academy programs, there was a review held at the end of each month.
Through this, a comprehensive evaluation is made and the position within the academy changes.
Those with good ratings get rewards—sometimes a class promotion, but that usually won’t happen. Because the first requirement for dividing a class is a grade. No matter how much you grow, it was extremely rare for a grade to go up. – Students who obtained a low grade were penalized or even kicked out.

I felt that the prejudice against the academy that I had for the first time had been shattered in one day.
In fact, the C class students were most comfortable enjoying the merits provided by this place.
Class B and above would probably be taking blood-drying lessons every day.
Because through competition, you have to be prepared to be pushed off the edge of a cliff at any time.

‘It’s the same.’

Both in society and in the academy, the most important thing is money and social status.
There is no such thing as a social status for students, so the important thing here is the social status of parents.
In that respect, students who belonged to class B or higher were not compared to class C students.
Well, I was the luckiest case.
Because I entered the most comfortable class without paying tuition.

I was under the influence of the system.
It is something that has come back and changed naturally.

I have already seen how quickly and easily the system can grow me.
If it was this easy to go up to C-level, going up to B-level and A-level wouldn’t be particularly difficult either.
At least it was clear that it would be much faster and easier than going up to that level through training.

As soon as I entered the class, the first thing I did was book a practice room.
I was thinking of training here only in the morning and going back today.
And in the afternoon, I was planning to spend time meeting with Shin Hye-yeon and Park Eun-ha or doing quests.

Using the training room all day was not only a conspicuous action, but also not a very efficient training method in terms of physical strength.
Besides, it was clear that the more important thing for my growth was to do quests.
Even if it was in the morning, there was nothing good about investing all day in training at the academy.

After checking attendance and making reservations for the training room, when I was about to leave the classroom, other students came in.

I greeted those who looked at me with a neutral attitude first.

“Hi.”

The students who were a little awkward then said hello to each other.

“Hi, are you here soon?”
“Aren’t you too sincere?”

In particular, the reaction of women was active.
They rushed towards me and said.

“Wow, you look more handsome from up close?”
“Are you not going to play with us today?”

“Sorry. I have work to do.”

So, naturally, the last woman who came in stood out.
Park Da-in.

I don’t know if it’s because of her mood, but she didn’t seem to be in a good mood today.
He’s frowning as if he’s not feeling well.
There was a bit of blackness under the eyes, which I thought was probably the drug.

Hunters usually don’t suffer from hangovers.
In particular, considering that Park Da-in’s grade was B, she could see that it was not a dark circle caused by a hangover or fatigue.

She didn’t touch her to the end, but she had offered me drugs many times in her past life.
Nothing will be different in this life.
Drugs and men.
Because that was what Park Da-in was addicted to.

Still, her expression was a little concerned.
She is a woman whose mentality is not shaken by anything.
To see what was going on, she looked into her information window.

=====================

Name [Park Da-in]
Height [164cm]
Weight [54kg]

Grade [B]

Strength [B]
Agility [B]
Stamina [C]
Mana [B]

Skill [-]

Special Ability [Foresight Lv1]

Special item [-]

Likeability [80%]
Current state of mind [Worried about what his father would do if he found out what he had done.]
Special Issue [Yesterday, while drinking drugs and having sex, he killed a person.]

=====================

‘Has a special ability?’

I thought it was unexpected.
Because Park Da-in thought she was just a lazy woman who was indifferent to growing into a hunter.

Depending on how she develops her special ability, she has infinite possibilities.
If she acts as a hunter, she will make a big contribution to making choices at critical moments.
Even if she wasn’t a Hunter, there were many paths she could take.

Because it has become a world that believes in the foresight of hunters more than religion or divination.
A hunter with excellent foresight, she was in the limelight everywhere.
Because there were too many people who wanted to know her future.

However, this ‘precognition’ ability only works if all conditions are the same as now.
If the overall grade was high and the special ability level was high, of course, the accuracy considering the variables would be higher.

‘That’s probably why he understood other people’s psychology that well.’

He saw through me and was sure I would be a good toy for him.
Whether or not he is currently kneading students must have had an effect on this ability.

‘It seems that he didn’t foresee his own affairs.’

Hunters with the ability of ‘prediction’ did not always go on a winning streak.
That could be said to be a limitation of this ability.

Anyway, it didn’t matter much what Park Da-in’s abilities were.
She’s not going to train with this woman, and I can’t take away her ability.

What I wanted to confirm was what caused the dark expression on my face today.

It was immediately identified by looking at the ‘current psychological state’ and ‘special matters’.

‘He killed people?’

It was absurd.
She knew very well that she was just a girl out there, but when she said she killed a man while taking drugs and having sex, she thought it was beyond imagination.

Could it have happened in a previous life?
I thought maybe.
There are no other conditions added except that she met me.
And it was hard to see that I still had a big influence on her.

As I looked at myself, Park Da-in also raised her gaze and looked at me.
A smile spread across her lips as if she had never had a dark face.

“Hi?”
“Huh.”
“Are you really this sincere? You knew yesterday Nobody cares about you here. Just check your attendance and come with us. Hanging out with us will help you a lot more.”

“Yeah~”
“Let’s play with us, okay?”

The female students next to me clung to me, and the male students also looked at me with expectant eyes.

Even Kim Doo-seong, who would have been most uncomfortable with this situation, was nowhere to be seen today.

“No it’s okay.”

I drew a line at Park Da-in’s suggestion.

“As I said, I have a schedule.”

After saying that, Park Da-in grabbed my arm as I was about to leave the classroom.

“What are you so good at?”
“You never said you were good?”
“…Do you have a girlfriend?”

In response to Park Da-in’s direct question, other students said, “Hui-yu~” “As expected, Da-in is active.” Showed the same reactions.

“Huh.”
“Are you prettier than me?”

She thought that if she answered immediately, she would not let go of her hand, but Park Da-in was also a strong enemy.
Instead of giving up, she asked a bold question.

“Huh.”

Then I let go of my arm.
But just by looking at her expression and reaction, I could tell that what I said to her didn’t have much of an impact on her.

It’s the expression that I don’t care if I have a girlfriend or not.

“Don’t just meet your girlfriend, let’s meet me too. I’ll contact you.”

She didn’t ask for my cell phone number.
I knew why.
The students’ phone numbers were recorded on the tablets.
It was easy to check if they were students of the same school.

Considering the quest, you may need to increase your contact with Park Da-in.

But I thought that meeting her mother was more important than that.
You must meet her to complete this quest.
If you spend time, that was first.

I left the classroom
And just like yesterday, I went to the training room I reserved.

‘Killing people…’

Rather than Park Eun-ha, Park Da-in was a woman more suited to the underground guild.
