episode_0002

I fiddled with the gun I had brought out. It was slightly longer than a pistol, and was comfortable to hold with one hand.

It wasn’t that heavy. It was cold and so hard. It was a familiar yet new sensation that gave me goosebumps in an instant.

‘A real weapon.’

An ordinary person can be turned into a corpse.

Murderous object.

‘under.’

Suddenly, negative thoughts started to surge up. Even though I had calmed down, I guess it was inevitable. I was still someone who was resistant to such things.

“But what can I do?”

This is the only way to survive.

I let out a sigh. My complicated feelings were draining me of energy.

I slowly walked back to the class. After about five minutes, I was able to get back to the class. I went right inside.

“Are you here?”

Lee Joo-hyuk was welcoming me with a smile.

“Okay. Then what’s your weapon?”

At those words, I immediately raised my gun to show him that I was going to do it. Then, in an instant, he opened his mouth wide and made a face as if he was dumbfounded.

“Total?”

It was almost as if he couldn’t believe it. Honestly, who among the awakened ones would use a gun? But I’m not one of those awakened ones. I’m just a normal person with nothing. Why is he acting like this when he can’t do anything about it? Obviously, since he’s my homeroom teacher, Lee Joo-hyuk can’t help but know that I’m a normal person.

“Why did you choose a gun?”

Or don’t you know?

“That’s because this is the only weapon I can use.”

“That’s nonsense!”

“Yes?”

“Don’t joke around. This is not a place for jokes!! I’ll help you, so change now.”

I guess you really don’t know.

I held back a sigh that almost escaped my lips and continued speaking.

“I really can’t use anything else but this.”

“I told you not to joke around……!”

“Well, I’m just an ordinary person.”

At my words, Lee Joo-hyuk instantly shut his mouth. He stared into space as if he was thinking deeply about something, and then he approached me with an even more sinister expression than before.

“It was you. The guy who came here for fun.”

what?

“Okay. Do what you want. Go in.”

“Oh, yeah.”

It seems like it’s not like ordinary people want to become hunters. To be honest, it’s only natural that someone who has never exercised before wants to be an athlete. If you actually saw someone like that, and if someone who is an athlete himself saw it, they would be really offended. I understand and accept it. But it still hurts a little.

I went back to where I was sitting earlier. Then I looked in the direction where Yoo Seora was. Unlike the famous bird, there was no one around her. Perhaps it was because Yoo Seora had personally told her not to come.

Now I need to think about how I should become friends with Yuseo. To be honest, in the original, it was shown that he liked all the main characters and disliked all the characters who weren’t the main characters, so it was really frustrating. It seemed like it would be better to approach this right away instead of having to worry about it.

While I was sighing deeply and staring into space, Yusera stood up. Since it wasn’t her turn yet, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

Yu Seo-ra, who got up from her seat, turned around and approached me. Why? Is there something near me?

While various thoughts were going through my head, Yoo Seo-ra stood in front of me. Did I do something wrong? Am I already marked? Or what?

Did I get too close?

“You.”

“Huh, huh?”

Really?

Are you really saying it came to me?

“Are you talking about me?”

“That’s right. I’m talking to you.”

Really?

The unexpected happened. As if my thoughts had stopped, I even forgot to breathe for a moment. To me, who had seen it to the end, it was something that could not have happened.

Even though I was hoping for a proper conversation, the current situation was sudden.

“Why?”

I asked in a soft tone I had never used before. Then, Yu Seo-ra asked me a question in a cold voice.

“Are you really a normal person?”

Oh, because of that?

Even so, if you think about the original, you still can’t believe Yoo Seo-ra’s actions. Thinking about her ignoring everything, you can’t help but be surprised. You have to answer first.

“Oh, that’s right. I’m a normal person.”

He stares at me with a slightly furrowed expression as if he is dissatisfied with those words. Perhaps it has something to do with the ‘ordinary hunter’ that never appeared in the original work. I never thought that Yoo Seo-ra would have such a past, so I felt a little excited.

It feels a bit like trying to watch a side story.

‘Yeah. Now that I think about it, there wasn’t any talk about Yoo Seo-ra.’

In the original, there was never a single instance of her personal story being told. That was the case even before her regression, in the first episode, and she tried to hide herself as much as possible. Even the main character was no exception, and the readers were no exception. Maybe today I will be able to know her properly.

“You want to be a hunter without any abilities?”

She muttered, almost like a sigh.

It seemed like he was displeased that I, an incompetent person named Yuseo, was trying to become a hunter.

“Why do you want to be a hunter?”

I was able to answer this question quickly because I had already answered it before.

“To live.”

Yoo Seo-ra made a face as if she was dumbfounded by those words. It seemed like she was dissatisfied with something, but I couldn’t help it because I was telling the truth. I really came to this place to save myself.

“Are you trying to survive? If you become a hunter, it will be harder to live. Is that what you call it?”

I could even sense a sarcastic tone.

I know he said that because he didn’t know my circumstances, but I still felt a little offended. However, it was also something I couldn’t do anything about, and on the contrary, I felt better because Yoo Seo-ra showed this side of herself.

“You’re really funny. You know that, don’t you?”

“Yeah. I know very well that it’s hard.”

“Then why?”

“I told you. To survive.”

It may not have been funny to her, but it was true.

As if she didn’t like my answer, Yu Seo-ra continued to glare at me and then suddenly let out a sigh. I could also see her putting her hand on her forehead because she was so frustrated.

“You…….”

It was the moment when I was about to say something.

“It’s a will!”

I heard Lee Joo-hyuk’s loud voice. I couldn’t even finish the words “will” properly because of that voice, and I had no choice but to leave her. She continued to stare at me and then opened her mouth.

“I’ll tell you when I get back.”

“Oh, yeah. Okay.”

When I answered with a slightly embarrassed voice, he sighed and left, as if he was dissatisfied with even that suicide note. How irritated must one be to keep sighing, which he didn’t do often in the original work. I felt a little sorry.

‘I’ll have to come back later and speak more logically.’

I guess I blurted out my words without thinking. I prepared my answers in advance, thinking about what questions Yoo Seol-ra would ask me. Honestly, I thought I should seize this opportunity. Maybe we could become close. At least that’s what I thought.

No, it’s definitely an opportunity.

As I was drumming my fingers on the desk to organize my thoughts, I could see someone coming in through the front door. Of course, it was Yoo Seo-ra, and she came in after telling Lee Ju-hyeok the weapon she had chosen, just like I did. To me.

“Okay, let’s do what we were doing.”

“Yeah.”

Whatever question you ask, I’ve prepared an answer in advance. It’ll be more satisfying than before.

“You, drop out.”

You didn’t expect this?

“Huh? What did you say?”

“Please drop out.”

My thoughts moved faster than expected.

How do you answer this? No, but isn’t it really rude to ask someone you’ve just met to drop out? Are you trying to pick a fight? Or is this the kind of person he’s always been? I just realized it.

And so on. I had random thoughts, but I suppressed them as much as possible. The answer comes first.

“Why me?”

“It’s hard for an incompetent person.”

“I know. But why are you deciding that?”

What the fuck, my doctor doesn’t matter?

“Even if it’s not me, someone else will say it. Maybe they’ll say something worse than I did.”

“What is that.”

“You might get bullied.”

“I prepared myself mentally for that too?”

I thought there would be some discrimination. So I researched the laws of this world in advance and thought about using them to respond. If I was harmed, I would pay back twice as much.

That means they prepared thoroughly.

“That’s not what I’m saying. Bullying doesn’t end with enduring it anyway.”

No. I won’t tolerate it?

“Just stop now. I’ll help you.”

“What? How?”

“If you are short on money, I can give you some. I’m not saying I’ll lend you money, I’m saying I can really give you money. And I’ll visit you often. To make your life easier. Don’t you think it would be better to drop out?”

No. That’s not the issue. More importantly, do you really want to send me out that much?

Although I was a little flustered, I quickly gathered my thoughts and was able to answer.

“That’s not the problem.”

“What is it not?”

“It’s because of personal reasons.”

“Personal circumstances?”

She tilted her head as if questioning my words. Since I couldn’t tell her the truth, I thought about it a bit more and answered.

“I have someone to meet.”

I didn’t lie. Isn’t there really someone you want to meet? From the main characters who appear frequently in the novel to supporting characters.

I came here to meet them.

“Are you meeting someone? Then I’ll help you.”

“That’s not the problem. It’s something only I can find.”

This part is definitely a lie. She shouldn’t have any trouble finding all the main characters. It might be better if she just focused on meeting them. But then not only would I have to tell them that I was possessed by this world, but we wouldn’t be able to develop an intimate relationship.

So I had no choice but to reject her offer. And that’s only natural.

“Ha. That’s not even funny.”

“But what can I do if it’s true?”

“Oh, really?”

Yuseo smiled at me with a sarcastic tone. It was such an unpleasant expression. I would have been angry if it had been me, but I was able to calm down because of her childish and blatant provocation. I opened my mouth with a real voice.

“No. Then why are you telling me not to be a hunter?”

“Yes?”

“We’re strangers anyway, and it’s none of your business. Is there a reason?”

“That……”

She was visibly flustered by my sudden question about the will and closed her mouth. There was a brief moment of silence, and only after some time had passed did she open her mouth.

“I hate seeing someone in my class suffering…….”

“Don’t lie. Even so, you were willing to give me so much just to drop out. Just to stop me from becoming a hunter. What was the reason?”

I’m so curious. It’s a story that’s never been told in a novel, so my anticipation is rising. No matter what happens, I have to hear it.

“Why would a normal person make me leave the Hunter Training School?”

Yu Seo lowered her head with a dark expression. As expected, there was some kind of story. I have to hear this no matter what. As I continued to stare at her with that thought in mind, I saw her trying to open her mouth.

“It’s none of your business.”

I thought you’d answer like that.

“You never know? I might drop out after hearing your story.”

Yu Seo-ra, with her face downcast, glares at me as if she’s going to kill me.

“If you really listen to me, will you drop out?”

“I don’t know about that either. I’ll listen and think about it.”

I smiled slightly. Then, as if he didn’t like it, Yu Seo-ra opened his mouth and slammed the desk hard.

“I won’t tell you.”

uh?

Then that won’t work?

“No, why?”

“You’re not going to do it anyway, so drop out.”

Well, even the most idiotic person would know that.

It’s the same no matter how you hear it.

“Oh, okay. Okay. ”

I answered with a discontented voice and turned my head toward the window.

The sky was very clear and blue.
