What can I say with my mouth?

Nowadays, I am quite handsome.

So actually, I was expecting it.

That women’s attention will be focused on you.

I was mentally prepared to some extent…

‘Once it becomes reality, it’s too hard to bear.’

It doesn’t matter what a few people think.

Even though there were a lot of eyes now, there were too many.

burden.

I want to run out of here right now.

For a moment, I even considered dropping out.

I felt like I was going out of my mind from the damn trauma.

Not a look of contempt.

Even though I know it’s a sympathetic view.

sometimes.

What’s the deal with trauma?

It’s because my mind is weak.

Take your medicine.

Try exercising hard.

Once your head becomes clear, the trauma will quickly disappear.

Without ever experiencing trauma.

There are people who say nonsense that doesn’t work.

It was a very comfortable statement.

This isn’t some kind of cold.

People who haven’t experienced it don’t know.

The fact that trauma is not something that can be easily overcome.

‘Should I visit a psychiatrist again later?’

In the previous world, there was no help at all.

However, this world will be different.

There are hospitals that treat mental illness with magic.

I decided to stop by when I get the chance.

When you have time and money to spare.

‘···For now, let’s somehow hold on with our mental strength. I hope he won’t faint.’

I clenched my teeth.

I managed my facial expressions.

I left the sweat on my forehead without wiping it away.

and.

Just looking ahead.

I walked confidently, ignoring the gaze of those around me.

Towards the place where the men are gathered.

Meanwhile.

“Hey, over there… Hello?”

A female student shyly greeted me.

I didn’t even look at it.

I ignored it and kept walking.

“Ah. I was ignored.”

“I told you so. Just by looking at it, you can tell it’s not cheap.”

“That’s right, it’s really worth it. But I like it because it’s more attractive, right?”

“Crazy bitch.”

Even if I get criticized, I can’t help it.

Because conversation is prohibited in the current situation.

If you’re not careful, you could be labeled as a loser from day one.

“Hello. Are you a freshman too?”

Another female student spoke slyly.

“You know. I want to be friends with you. If it’s okay, would you like to stand in line with me?”

Of course, no attention was paid.

“···Wow. He just walks away without even giving me a glance.”

“If you talk to me like that the first time I meet you, I will feel burdened and ignore you.”

Overcoming so many difficulties.

We safely arrived at the place where the men were gathered.

‘after. ‘It held up well.’

Now my mind has calmed down a bit.

My pounding heart became calm again.

I delved deeper into the group of boys.

In the end, she was surrounded by men.

I felt reassured because it felt like a wall had been erected.

The men also glanced at me.

Even if it’s a man.

The gaze of others still feels burdensome.

Still, it was much less severe than the gaze of pretty girls.

***

The entrance ceremony has begun.

Introduction to the Academy.

Oath of representative of admitted students.

Dean’s speech.

etc.

It was an entrance ceremony, nothing special.

I looked up at the podium blankly.

I was trying to organize my thoughts on what to do next.

‘Wherever you go, the first image is the most important… For now, let’s just leave it like this. With a quiet concept.’

If you find it difficult to talk to women.

Just keep your mouth shut.

If you are in a situation where it is difficult not to answer.

Just give short answers.

Rather than stuttering and slurring my words, it was much better to pretend to have a quiet personality.

Because that side won’t seem easy.

No matter how handsome he is.

If it was revealed that he was a jerk, life at the academy would become difficult.

‘And again…’

Don’t look around with an anxious expression.

It’s like advertising that you are weak.

Don’t keep your head down.

Always keep your neck upright.

Be confident.

If you find it difficult to make eye contact with a woman.

Just ignore it and don’t encounter it.

Pretend you’re not interested at all.

‘Is this enough?’

After organizing the action guidelines.

This time, I briefly reviewed my future plans.

First, establish an image that is not easy.

After making friends of the same sex first.

Take your time and heal your trauma while making friends of the opposite sex.

‘It’s the perfect plan.’

done.

Let’s just act like this.

I promised myself once again.

While building smooth human relationships.

Enjoy proper academy life.

Participate faithfully in academy classes as well.

I decided to be reborn as a decent hunter with excellent social skills.

The entrance ceremony has already come to an end.

Before moving to each assigned classroom.

We freshmen were getting hunter permits issued at the window in the building next to the main auditorium.

“You can get it here.”

Finally my turn came.

A woman with a blunt expression handed me a hunter’s card.

Even though she is wearing glasses, she looks quite handsome.

It seems that a mere pair of glasses cannot hide the beauty of a beautiful girl.

‘I feel it again… Really, all the women in this world are pretty.’

happy.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to look at a pretty girl’s face up close.

This is a situation that I would never have dreamed of under normal circumstances.

The woman doesn’t look at me at all.

This was possible because I kept my gaze down.

Maybe he’s not that interested in me.

Rather, it was good.

Thanks to that, I was able to intuitively see a beautiful girl.

After receiving my hunter’s card without saying a word, I turned around and left.

And then move to the assigned class.

I checked the issued hunter certificate.

『Preliminary Hunter Certificate』

─Name: Kang Ha-hwi

─Affiliation: 17th Academy 66th Class 3

─Role: TBC

It was a simple design.

Is it because it’s a prospective hunter’s license?

When viewed on the Internet.

The official hunter ID was quite flashy.

I turned the hunter ID card over to see the back.

‘huh? ‘What is this?’

On the back of the hunter’s card was a piece of paper folded in half and fastened with tape.

Rip off the tape.

When I opened the paper, I saw a note written in neat handwriting.

「010 – xxxx – xxxx If you have any questions about Academy, please feel free to contact us at any time. I will happily explain while buying you a meal.」

···I understand after seeing this.

It wasn’t that that person wasn’t interested in me earlier.

Just like me.

I just couldn’t look at it because I was embarrassed.

I wondered why I kept my eyes fixed downwards.

‘I’m happy, but it’s not the time yet…’

Currently, it is difficult for me to talk to women.

So I decided not to contact him.

‘I should put this in my pocket.’

I had no intention of throwing it away.

You are free to ignore it.

It is against morality to throw away a note callously.

I should keep it well and read it over and over again when my self-esteem is low.

Thinking like that.

Just when I was about to put the note in my pocket.

Easy profit-!

A strong wind blew.

“Ah…!”

I accidentally missed the note.

Although I reached out my hand late.

The note was already flying far away on the wind.

“······.”

It was an unavoidable accident.

***

Hunter permit issuance counter.

After all the admitted students left.

All the faculty and staff came outside, drank coffee, and took a break.

among them.

A female employee wearing glasses sighed with a distraught expression.

A note in her hand.

It was a note secretly given to Kang Ha-hwi.

There was a magic spell on the note.

It was a spell that caused the note to return to the person who enchanted it if it moved away from the owner within 10 minutes after being opened.

“As expected, I guess I can’t do it.”

“Cheer up…”

A downcast female employee with glasses.

Another female employee comforted her and patted her on the back.

“Ha. I really fell in love at first sight. So much so that we can’t even make eye contact.”

“Just forget it. He’s not the only man in the world. What should I do, at least let me introduce you to a guy?”

“That’s it. Now I only have 2D male characters. I don’t need a real man.”

like this.

The unrequited love of an unknown girl with glasses ended in vain.

***

The class I was assigned to.

I found a sign for class 3.

‘I’m a little nervous…’

If it had been an all-male class, there would have been less tension.

But unfortunately.

All classes were mixed gender.

Let’s take basic classes together.

They say that only when teaching mystery and magic, men and women receive separate classes.

If that’s the case, let’s create a separate class for men from the beginning.

…I had the same thought.

It was structured this way for a reason.

I heard that our academy actively encourages relationships between men and women. It seemed like such a policy was created because we were living in an age of low birth rates.

I heard that there is a motel on the academy site…

Of course, this is not definitive information.

I just overheard other male students whispering.

‘Now let’s stop messing around and go in.’

The door to the classroom was open.

I swallowed dry saliva and entered the classroom, maintaining a calm expression so as not to show that I was nervous.

Many students were already seated inside.

Fortunately.

Their eyes weren’t focused on me.

They are not even looking at the entrance.

‘Rather than that, it really has an old school feel.’

The dean mentioned it in his speech.

The 17th Academy values tradition and romance.

So, they purposely made all the classrooms feel like classrooms in an old school.

The floor is also wooden.

The chairs and desks are also made of wood.

Everything, even the lectern, is made of wood.

A green blackboard was installed behind the table, and a blackboard eraser and white chalk were placed on the frame.

It was a picture of an old school.

I quickly scanned the spot.

There are not many empty seats.

Five in the first place.

One of the back seats by the window.

There were a total of six seats remaining.

The front seat felt uncomfortable, so I decided to just sit in the back.

“Ahem!”

A rabbit entered the classroom through the front door.

While walking naturally on two legs.

He even looked like he was wearing a stylish suit.

“Nice to meet you all! I am Professor Hare Rabbit, who is in charge of your class 3! You can just call it Santoto for short!”

It wasn’t a strange situation.

Among the highly intelligent monsters encountered in the dungeon.

I heard that there are sometimes monsters that side with humans.

Furthermore, there are monsters that act as hunters.

“Carrot?”

Oops.

While standing still, I made eye contact with Professor Santoto.

“Why are you standing there alone?”

Listen to the professor.

Students turning their heads all at once.

Again, attention was focused.

“Huh? It’s him from earlier. Handsome kid.”

“What is it? Is he in our class? Nice.”

“Wow…”

“···It looks worth looking at.”

When the students were staring at me and talking loudly.

“Hmm. Are you the type of person who likes to stand? Anyway, I thought I’d introduce myself and it turned out well! Carrot!”

The rabbit pointed to me with the carrot he was holding.

“You come forward first and introduce yourself!”
