Chapter 9 – What Are You Talking About?

[Completed the sub-quest ‘The difference between you and me (1)’.]
【I got ‘Free Skill Slot’ X 1 as a reward.]

Completed the quest for the first time.
Although it is a sub-quest.

As the goal of the quest was to humiliate Park Jong-gil, it was obvious how he would feel now.
The device was released and the string that bound him was gone, but Park Jong-gil was unable to get up.

The professor smiled and looked back at the students.

“Did you see? As long as you listen to my lectures, you can go out and do your part confidently. Don’t always forget No matter how strong the monster is, it is not stronger than you hunters.”

Even until Park Jong-gil was stumped by the monster, the atmosphere in the river could not be said to be very good, but I completely changed the atmosphere.
To be honest, the content of this lecture was not very helpful.
My hunting of Aquitas was purely due to experience.

However, the lectures at this school were definitely helpful when I went out into society.
Because we are still in first grade.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that by the time you graduate, you will look completely different.

“Good job.”

The professor tapped me on the shoulder.

“When did you train like that?”
“Are you training?”

As for cultivation, it was what I did every day at that time.
Physical training, and studying in the department.
I lived according to my daily routine.

“Very good. I will keep an eye on you.”

Said the professor warmly.
He has a bit of an eccentric side, but as much as he has strong likes and dislikes, he has definitely helped the students he pays attention to.

The professors of ‘Hunter College’ have connections with each guild and relevant government departments.
It was nice anyway to have the professor’s special attention.

“Thank you.”

Finally, the lecture was over.
Park Jong-gil had already disappeared in the clutter.

As I left the classroom, several students came up to me and talked to me in a friendly way.

“You are really great.”
“Have you ever entered a dungeon? Maybe you can be so calm?”
“Did you see the monster running away in fear? Do you really want to?”

I didn’t respond, I just laughed.

“But have you seen Park Jong-gil? I was all embarrassed.”
“What did you do when you were still holding a knife? If it were me, I would have tried swinging it once.”

Someone passed quickly by us talking.
It was Park Jong-gil who lowered his head and disappeared as if running away.

“Hey, I heard you.”
“What if you hear it? That kid has no luck. He usually speaks in a way that is very disrespectful to other people, so it’s nice.”

In any case, I didn’t intend to enjoy the afterglow of what happened during the ‘Combat Practice’ lecture for long.

“I’ll go first.”

I was getting hungry, and there were things I wanted to investigate alone.

“It’s lunch time, aren’t you eating? Let’s go eat together.”
“Are you going to see your girlfriend again?”

“Yeah, what.”

It wasn’t something I promised Seulgi Lee, but it was a good excuse to get out.

“Anyway, it’s the highest order. If I were you, whoops. Don’t talk.”
“Still, isn’t Sunggyu cool like that? The world isn’t fair Imagine if Sunggyu was hanging out with all the girls. Will there be a chance for us?”
“Indeed, it is.”

Leaving behind the embarrassing words, I got away from them.

What I was curious about was the reward obtained after completing the sub-quest.

Free Skill Slots.

I got a rough feeling, but I wasn’t sure what it was.

【’Free Skill Slot’ is a slot where you can freely equip the desired skill.】

“What? You say you can equip any skill?”

Immediately, great skills passed through my mind.
Signature skills of famous hunters.
There was no way I could use it right away just because I installed them.
However, if you could freely acquire a skill, it would have been better to equip one of the best skills.
Because the day may come when I can use it someday.

[You can equip skills freely, but you must learn those skills yourself.]

“Huh?”

Then it is.
In that way, it was no different from acquiring normal skills.
It was a reward obtained after completing the quest, but it was disappointing if it was simply a pun.

【It’s much easier to learn if it’s an opponent’s skill with a favorability of 80% or higher.】

“Oh~”

Indeed, there were no advantages.
However, as I looked at Park Jong-gil’s status earlier, there was little information I could confirm with my current level of ‘Scouter’ ability.

If you couldn’t check the crush rate of the other person, you couldn’t know who had more than 80% crush on you.
Moreover, 80% is not a low figure even if you think about it easily.
I think it’s possible that it should be almost at the level of a lover.

‘Is it Seulgi?’

I naturally thought of Seulgi Lee, her current official girlfriend.

And within seconds, she shook her head.

If it was a woman who would betray me with NTR, it was unlikely that she would have a liking rate of over 80%.
Besides, she’s F-class and doesn’t even have a hard school life, so there’s no way she has her skills.

‘Anyway.’

It wasn’t a bad reward to have.
The point was to find someone with a crush rate of 80% or more, but time would solve that.

‘I should go get something to eat.’

I decided to eat at the student cafeteria.
The student cafeteria and gym are nearby.
There was plenty of time left until the afternoon lecture, so I thought I could spend time in the gym until then.

15 years of field experience accumulated in me, but because of the return, I returned to the body of the 20-year-old.
Even if it was impossible to do it all at once, I wanted to get my body back to the previous level as soon as possible.

It was when I was walking towards the restaurant.

A tingling feeling covered my whole body.
Unpleasant feeling.

I had a bad feeling that a villain would appear soon.

“Ah…”

Just as expected?
Among the students walking from the front, I was able to spot a familiar figure who was not very welcome.

“Babe~~!!”

She seemed very pleased with me.
Height of mid 150 cm.
Although small, she had a glamorous body in her own way.
I always wore clothes that emphasized it.

Since she is not tall, she prefers to wear a dress rather than a short skirt to expose her lower body.
It was common for her to expose her cleavage as she was proud of her above-average size breasts.

Seulgi Lee, who was walking in front of me, ran towards me with a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

She was going to hug her if she didn’t want to, so I quickly reached out and grabbed her shoulder.

“Why didn’t you contact me? Do you know how much I missed you?”

Seulgi Lee complained about her.
Just by looking at her expression, it seems that she is not lying, but she has already read the ‘Book of Truth’ and ‘Book of Memories’, so no matter what she says, she sounds like a lie.

And then,

“Ah…”

I found another one
In fact, she was walking with Seulgi Lee.
Seulgi Lee runs to me first and only she is left alone behind her.

‘Shin Hye-yeon.’

She is a woman who will be called Leah God in the future.
The 20-year-old woman stood there exuding her fresh air.

Her tall stature and long limbs are impressive.
Even though she didn’t expose much of her skin like Seulgi Lee, she naturally possessed her eye-catching beauty.
As soon as our eyes met, I quickly dropped my gaze.
A distinctly recognizable blush bloomed on her white face.

“Sleep. I’ll go See you later.”

Shin Hye-yeon spoke to her friend and then gave me a slight bow.
She was the one who turned her back and was about to leave.

“Wait!”

When I shouted, Shin Hye-yeon stopped her steps.
Carefully, she turned her head to look this way.
She had a look on her face confirming that she had called her.

I said to Seulgi.

“I have business, see you later.”
“What to do? Do you have other business besides me?”
“Eat delicious lunch.”
“Uh?”

While Seulgi Lee was dumbfounded, I approached Hyeyeon Shin.

“You haven’t had lunch yet, have you?”
“Yes? Yes…”

Shin Hye-yeon’s gaze naturally turned to Lee Seul-gi.

Seulgi Lee stood like a stone with her mouth wide open.

I was going to say more to Shin Hye-yeon, but her cell phone in her pocket rang.

I took it out and looked at the screen, and it said ‘Professor Dae-chul Jeong’.
It was definitely the name of the ‘combat practice’ professor.

“Hello?”
– Oh, hey. Have you had lunch?
“No. I want to go eat now.”
– Would you like to have lunch with me? There is someone I would like to introduce to you.
“Sorry. I have a prescription. Can you call me next time?”
– Okay? Haha. Got it.

I don’t know who the professor is introducing me to, but it’s not more important than the person in front of me.

“I will buy food. Let’s go eat together.”
“Yes? But…”

Hyeyeon Shin was still conscious of Seulgi Lee.
He didn’t understand why I was talking to him about his girlfriend.

“I have something to say.”

I said that and slightly pulled Shin Hye-yeon’s arm.
Only then did Shin Hye-yeon loosen her stiff body and turn her around.
Seeing her biting her lip, she couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

As I was about to take a step, I heard a high-pitched voice behind me.

“Self! Didn’t you lose her cell phone?”

‘What are you talking about?’

I ignored Lee Seul-gi’s words and spoke to Shin Hye-yeon.

“I am hungry. Let’s go quickly.”
