“Okay, put this in here… Ahyeon. Are you done calculating?”

“Uh… No. Just a little more…”

“Until when?”

“… … .”

I unconsciously raised my head and snapped at the inaudible answer.

“Hey. Kim Ah-hyun.”

“Yes, senior… .”

“How much is left?”

“That’s, that’s why… .”

How did a kid like that become a graduate student? Even though there is a shortage of slaves, does it make sense to just bring them in like this?

Of course, I’m not that great, but isn’t that a bit too much?

“Converting normal concentration is so hard, how did you get an A on the test?”

“… … .”

“Hey, fuck, that’s enough. Come out. I’ll do it.”

“Sorry, sorry… .”

“Excuse me, come find this paper. Don’t run away with the printed version like last time. Experiment with it yourself and bring me the video.”

“Yes… .”

I was busy doing experiments, and seeing the person who came to help me like that was driving me crazy. I thought it would be better if I just did it myself, so I grabbed a calculator and pen, sat down, and started calculating.

“The equivalent is 3… Oh, wash it.”

It would have been much better if I had done it myself. I was even more annoyed at the thought that I had wasted my time.

But I couldn’t yell and get angry in front of my seniors, so I just picked up the beaker to finish the experiment quickly.

…That’s when something strange happened.

“…Senior!!!”

“Doyoon!!”

“??”

Suddenly, urgent voices rang out from all directions, and as I turned my head to see what was happening,

“No, what is this…”

As if it were a lie, a beaker was flying through the air and landing right before my eyes.

That too, while excitedly spraying the liquid inside.

‘What was in there…’

If I remember correctly, it was sulfuric acid, but not diluted yet.

Before I could even think about how someone could throw that into the air like that, or what kind of idiot did it, I lost consciousness with excruciating pain.

“Ugh…”

The first thing I did when I opened my eyes, which felt like it wasn’t long, was to raise my hand and touch my face.

‘It must be terrible…?’

It’s none other than sulfuric acid. One of the three great acids. The very same sulfuric acid that some crazy bastard once used to commit a terrorist act by spraying it in people’s faces.

It was poured directly on my face and body, so there was no way I would be okay.

“…Huh?”

I had imagined it would feel rough and horrible, but it felt surprisingly soft and smooth on my fingertips.

It feels better than my usual skin. It’s almost like baby skin.

“Hey, what happened?”

It was only then that I was able to discover another strange thing. When I opened my eyes, the ceiling I saw was not the hospital ceiling.

It was a plain ceiling with beige wallpaper.

In a word, it was an unfamiliar ceiling. It was a strange space that was neither my room nor a hospital.

“Where is this?”

I woke up in a bed that wasn’t mine. The outline of the room slowly came into view. No matter how I looked at it, it wasn’t my room.

I stumbled to the floor, opened the door, and went outside. In the living room, which should have been empty…

“Ah, hey, are you awake? Aren’t you sleeping too much because it’s vacation? You have to go to the academy soon…”

“…….??”

A woman I had never seen before was looking at me and talking to me in an awkward manner. What the hell? Who are you?

“Eat your own food. I, I’ll stay in my room… .”

“…Oh, yeah.”

Okay. Let’s figure out the situation. Even though I have excellent grades, I was able to get a lot of love calls from professors and get dragged into graduate school. It’s not hard to guess that much.

While I was experimenting, I was suddenly hit directly with sulfuric acid in an absurd accident, passed out, and when I woke up, I was in an unknown place, all fine.

But I’m not the only one there, I’m with a girl…?

‘I don’t know what the fuck, damn it…’

Could it be that he was still unconscious? Or maybe he was dreaming. I thought that if I did something, he would wake up, so I decided to wash my face first.

If it were really a dream, you wouldn’t feel anything like water touching your body.

As I went into the bathroom like that, I couldn’t help but panic once again.

“What is it?”

The lights came on, and when I stood in front of the sink and looked into the mirror, I saw that it wasn’t me as I knew.

“Who is this…”

I had long hair even before. It felt more like I just grew it out of laziness rather than for fashion, but I thought it suited me well so I kept it growing.

But I never remember growing my hair out like this. And I especially don’t remember growing it out with such silky, beautiful hair.

It’s true that my skin was pale because I didn’t see much sunlight, but it wasn’t as white and smooth as it is now, let alone shiny.

His face… was nothing more than ordinary, even if you looked at it favorably. He didn’t have the kind of pretty boy vibe that you’d think was cute even when he made a blank expression in the mirror.

“What is this?”

This was the first time I thought, I hope this isn’t a dream.

“I think I’ve gotten a little shorter.”

I wasn’t tall to begin with, but I thought I would only hear that I hadn’t grown much.

“This is not the time.”

Wash your face, let’s wash your face first. First, you have to come to your senses before you can do anything… .

“Pooha.”

It was only after I splashed my face with cold, damp water that didn’t feel like a dream at all that I realized.

“…It can’t be a dream.”

That I was dragged into some strange world without being hit by a truck or bus or falling from a rooftop.

“Should I like this or not…?”

When I entered the room, I saw a computer there, so I turned it on without hesitation. At least I needed to gather information about what kind of place this world was.

I opened the portal site right away, and the headlines of the news I saw were unusual.

[S-class Hunter Lee Yoon-ha, bombshell statement, “Chinese Hunters are too weak. I don’t want your support. ” China, “You will pay the price for your reckless statement. ”]

[Hanseo Academy has a reduced number of new students this time too. Is this okay?]

“Hunter?”

The hunter I know? The one that often appears in web novels?

“Wiki, we need a wiki… .”

Of course, not X-Wiki, but an encyclopedia.

[Another term for a superhuman. Or, they are sometimes written as Awakened. Their main job is to hunt monsters and destroy gates, and they are divided into grades F to S according to the American notation system. China does not follow this, so they classify grades separately.]

“What is this…”

Surprisingly, even an encyclopedia with sufficient credibility confirmed the existence of the Hunter.

[The Hunters’ abilities are truly diverse, and can be checked through the ‘status window’. The types that are mainly displayed are those related to combat…]

“Status window?”

[Apostle Yoon]

[Skills: Precision Analysis, Instantaneous Calculation, Flexibility, Extraction, Fusion, Synthesis]

[Magic Rank: F]

“…what is this.”

As my absurd feelings reached their peak, I was no longer surprised. Suddenly, letters appeared before my eyes, and information automatically flowed into my head.

Thanks to that, I was able to see what I can do now, and the results.

“What are you doing?”

It was a joy and delight that could cover up all the confusion I had felt up until now. At least for me as a researcher.

I didn’t really like fighting in the first place. And on top of that, it was a monster. I bet I would scream and run away the second I met it.

Or else you get eaten right away.

It would have been much better to have this non-combat ability. And it was clear what it could do.

“Yeah, this is much better.”

Once I had a positive mindset, I was able to adapt quickly. Anyway, even if I stayed in the original world, I would have to live with scars all over my body and face.

It would be much better to be a little short but still pretty and cute. If that doesn’t work out, wouldn’t there be demand for internet broadcasting?

“Now that I think about it, my voice seems to have gotten a little thinner… .”

Is this the onset of puberty? Or is it possible that secondary sexual characteristics haven’t yet arrived? He happened to see his resident registration card lying on the table.

“Ah, you were born in 00.”

I looked at the calendar on the side of my computer and it was February 3019. I don’t know what that academy is, but it must have felt like college. In short, I was an adult.

That means nothing will change here.

“Rather good.”

Damn, if I go to graduate school again, I’ll just hang myself. I was reincarnated with a face and abilities that are just right for making a living.

Whether it was running my own business or doing a real internet broadcast, it would be better than being a graduate school slave. I lay down on my bed with a strangely happy heart.

“Academy… .”

I’m looking forward to it. It felt like a more enjoyable life than before was waiting for me.

“Oh, shit. Do I have to go back to the military?”

I don’t like that. I really wish this world didn’t have a military. Or maybe it was a world where the genders were reversed and women went to the military.

…I found out later that there was also this written underneath the document I was reading. I should have seen that beforehand.

[It is widely predicted that they are a newly evolved form of humanity with a long average lifespan and fast growth, as befitting superhumans, and that they maintain the appearance of those in their 20s for a long time.

Also, the awakening ratio is 9.9 for women to 0.1 for men, with the ratio of female awakeners being dominant, and it is said that the sexual desire of female awakeners is much stronger than that of men of the same age, perhaps because their physical prime is long and they mainly awaken combat-related abilities.

In contrast, male Awakeners tend to awaken non-combat abilities, which tends to decrease their sexual desire and pursue more spiritual love.

Because of this, there are almost no men who can satisfy the sexual desires of female awakeners, and recently, cases of female awakeners committing crimes against ordinary men have been discovered.

This is especially serious in the academy where newly awakened Awokens enter, and for this reason, a law has been enacted requiring Awokens to reside in Awoken Cities, cities where Awokens reside, unless there are special reasons for doing so.

[At first, there was severe discrimination against men who were particularly difficult to awaken, and the country tolerated it as the Awakened took charge of important national military power, but as a result, the number of men decreased even more, and the government, feeling the seriousness of the situation, enacted special management laws for male Awakened men, but this only provoked even stronger opposition from men… ]

***

Time passed and passed, and before I knew it, it was the day of the academy’s entrance ceremony. When I found out the address, I was surprised to find that it was quite far from where I was living, but later I found out that they would give me a house from the moment I entered the academy. The welfare was the best.

Of course, it’s a studio apartment, but that’s not all. Thanks to that, I decided to move in advance.

“…See you later.”

“Yeah.”

I also found out a bit about the girl I was living with. Her name was Choi Ju-eun. I thought it was strange because even her last name was different, but it turned out she was a boarder who had no money and was living off of me.

But this time, I woke up, paid back the money, and came to the academy like me. The expression on my parents’ face when they were happy was still vivid.

‘Are these your parents…?’

They said he was some kind of special guardian. I still don’t know for sure. His name wasn’t on the family relations certificate either.

“Is this it…?”

After taking a shower and roughly applying skin toner to my face, I walked a bit and came across a magnificent building.

“That’s right.”

I looked around, wondering if I had come to the wrong place, and there was a banner hanging openly there, so I nodded and stepped through the main gate.

-Welcome new students to Hanul Academy!!!!-

As we passed under the banner that said “Directions,” we saw female students here and there giving directions.

‘Oh, hey… .’

They were all incredibly beautiful. There were so many pretty people that it made you wonder why they weren’t idols or actors.

But why are there only women?

“What, am I the only guy?”

Even the people who looked like freshmen like me were women. The students who looked like seniors were women. Even the people who looked like teaching assistants were all women.

“Write, something feels strange… .”

Feeling an ominous feeling, I followed my seniors’ instructions and walked to the auditorium.

“Wow, wow. I almost drooled just now.”

“Then you get caught, you bitch.”

“…?”

Why? I’m really anxious.

Something, something was strange.
