-What do you do if your family or clan is prestigious? This place in Moorim is a place where power speaks for itself. No one should hold their head high in front of the Great Power Council. No one.

If someone tried to be even slightly rude in front of me, Yeonhwa would get angry before I did.

To her, I must have been someone she longed for more than just a beloved friend.

I, who was always with Yeonhwa, may have changed a little bit before I knew it.

At one point, I felt like I was really looking down at the world from above.

“This… this fucking guy…”

“Do you think you’ll be okay even if you do this? Do you know who Younghwan’s father is?”

I don’t understand. They look down on me.

They are the ones who started the fight for no reason and are truly angry because they got hit several times.

Why was I being treated like this in the modern world?

Many memories have become blurry over the past ten years.

No, the memories of dying and killing fiercely to survive, the memories of reigning as a strong man,

It may be that I have covered up the pathetic memories of my previous life.

Jihoon takes a step forward. I step in front of Do Young-hwan’s gang.

I flinch.

The three people who were in a fighting stance flinched without realizing it.

I take another step and make eye contact with each person.

“Do I need to know who that child’s father is?”

It was Jihoon whose posture and tone of voice from the martial arts world came out every once in a while.

“Younghwan’s father is a hunter management executive at the Ares Guild. You’re screwed now”

“Do you know how many connections Younghwan’s father has with high-level hunters?”

“You’re really behind, you crazy bastard!”

The three of them were barking hard, unable to bite, like one-day puppies resisting a tiger.

“Aha.. I see.. So you have a well-connected father?”

Jihoon found this situation so funny.

It wasn’t my first time seeing this situation.

I saw people like that many times in Moorim.

Those who don’t know who their father is.

Those who do not know where their recluse is.

Those who don’t know who their master is.

What happened to all the people who made such a fuss in front of Jihoon?

Jihoon lightly rolls one foot and heads towards the guy standing on the far right.

Powok

There is no need to make a fist. There is no need to put in effort.

Even with just the external skills I’ve been refining over a long period of time, they won’t be able to follow my movements.

Jihoon’s right palm hits the face of the guy standing on the far right.

“Uuuuu..Uuuuu..”

Similar to Do Young-hwan a moment ago, blood spurts from his mouth and nose, and he passes out without being able to stop his teeth from flowing out.

Maybe I failed to control my strength just a little bit. Not only did he leave, it looks like his jaw was completely shattered.

“Is their dad a great person too?”

There is a certain lightness in Jihoon’s tone and eyes as he asks the remaining two people while making eye contact.

It is not a life-or-death issue for a non-human who truly kills and kills,

I started to think that this situation, which seemed like child’s play, was a little funny.

“This crazy guy..”

Powok

The same scene as before is played back. The same thing happens to the guy standing next to him.

“Ugh…Ugh..”

Three people are already lying on the floor, blood pouring from their mouths and noses.

The last one left.

“Now… just wait a moment. What are you really… I… I’m just Younghwan…”

Jihoon is looking at him. Pretend to listen as if you are interested.

“What are you? Aren’t you friends with these guys? If you have something to say, say it quickly”

I take my gaze away from the smiling Jihoon and look down a little to see his right hand with blood dripping from it.

at that time.

Han Soo-young opens her arms and blocks the way forward.

“Hey!! No… no! School rules!. Yes, this is a violation of school rules. You’re in real trouble!”

I can hear her worried eyes and trembling tone of voice.

‘Oh, I don’t remember who he is… but why did he take my side?’

It was Han Soo-young who took his side at the moment when everyone in class 11 was ignoring or ridiculing him.

Jihoon racks his brains and tries to think of her.

‘Is it Ann, who I was close with ten years ago? No, I don’t think I’ve ever had a friend like this in my memory…’

“I… I’m really sorry, but were we friends by any chance? Oh, I’m so sorry I’ve been so distracted these days that I can’t remember!”

To Han Soo-young, who took his side and seemed to be the only one here who was just, Ji-hoon showed kindness that was completely different from those in front of him.

“Ah.. No.. It’s not like a friend or anything.. Well.. But it’s really not good for you to cause more trouble than this”

“Haha thank you for your concern”

It was Ji-hoon who patted Han Su-young on the shoulder and expressed his gratitude.

At his sudden touch, Han Soo-young lowers her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

At that time, wow

Powok

The last man standing, a member of Do Yeong-hwan’s gang who seemed a little relieved, falls to the floor with his jaw smashed.

“You can’t make it a habit to look after even just one person. These guys shouldn’t even make eye contact with me.”

Seeing Ji-hoon casually spewing out scary words, Han Soo-young just stared at him, speechless.

***

Professor Eunyoung Koo, who is in charge of managing Hunter Academy Class 10, did not understand this situation.

The children in his class, who were currently lying in the treatment room and receiving treatment from a B-class healer type hunter, were the hunters with the highest level of ability among the 10 classes.

“Who… told you that you treated me like this?”

The caretakers who moved the fallen people answer her question.

“I heard that there was a fight with a cadet named Kang Ji-hoon from class 11.”

“Kang Ji-hoon… Kang Ji-hoon… I’ve heard of this name… wasn’t that failed student’s name Kang Ji-hoon?”

Jihoon was the weakest failing student at Hunter Academy and was famous not only to the professor in charge but also to professors in other classes.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Uh…how?”

At Professor Eunyoung Koo’s questioning expression, the managers shrug their shoulders and make a gesture saying they don’t know.

As far as she knows, Kang Ji-hoon’s reputation is the worst of the worst.

I heard that he has a skill that is quite useful in battle, but even that is a C-level skill, so it may not be a very impactful ability.

Moreover, wasn’t this cadet’s basic hunter ability significantly inferior to that of other cadets?

“Ah… Then where is that friend now? What on earth did they do to make four people like this…”

The four patients she saw had all their teeth missing and the bleeding had not stopped yet.

Although the healer-type hunters were recovering little by little by using healing skills, there was strong fear on their faces when they woke up.

“I understand that you were called to Professor Jin’s office.”

“Professor Jin… Professor Jin Seok-hyeon?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Professor Koo Eun-young swallowed the thought of asking Professor Jin Seok-hyeon later and looked at his injured students again.

***

“You broke the jaws of Class 10 Do Yeong-hwan and his friends…?”

Professor Seok-Hyeon Jin was just as unable to understand the current situation as Professor Eun-Young Koo.

Kang Ji-hoon, a student who failed class 11, seemed to have changed somehow.

It was only four days ago that I thought I should keep a close eye on the man who killed the King Goblin in one blow with a sword that even my eyes could not catch.

But then he had an accident and was called to his office.

“Yes, you bothered to come and start a fight, so I gave him a scolding to keep him from attacking me again.”

How can a guy who was called in after an accident be so confident? And from last time, it was Professor Jin whose inexplicable high-sounding attitude somehow irritated me.

“Hmm… First of all, personal fights that are not sparring between cadets are subject to penalty points according to school regulations.”

“Do I get penalty points again? Please take a look this time. Isn’t it okay for kids to fight among themselves?”

“Aren’t you a saint and a fully awakened person?”

“The children who were hit were all awakened. First, when you started a fight, you should have thought about how much you would get hurt.”

Ppajik

Jin Seok-hyeon feels somewhat obnoxious about Ji-hoon, who doesn’t say a word and has a stiff and confident posture.

“Keuhm.. First of all, I’m getting statements from friends who witnessed it, so I’ll figure it out later. By the way…”

Professor Jin Seok-hyeon continues speaking cautiously, as if he is at a loss for something.

“You… have you reawakened?”

Reawakening. A phenomenon in which a hunter who has already awakened once encounters a peculiarity, awakens anew, and exhibits completely different abilities than before.

Considering Ji-hoon’s behavior over the past few days, it seems suspicious enough, so Professor Jin cautiously asks Ji-hoon.

“What is reawakening?”

“…?”

Professor Jin is speechless at Ji-hoon’s confident question.

“Ah, I’ve been out of my mind these days and my memory is a bit blurry. I’m in a situation where I have to learn this and that again.”

After saying that, Ji-hoon’s expression soon becomes serious and he is worried and speaks again.

“Ah, reawakening. I vaguely remember what it was. I did not reawaken.”

Professor Jin’s eyes narrow in question.

“Even though you are not a reawakened person, you killed the king goblin with one shot and defeated four class 10 awakened people?”

“Yes”

Professor Jin felt frustrated by the short answers and lack of additional explanations.

“Can I upgrade my class only by reawakening and getting a high rank?”

“Huh? You mean going to a higher class? Not necessarily. You can also move to a higher class if you receive high grades in the monthly and quarterly evaluations, or if you are recognized for your exceptional abilities. Isn’t this common sense to academy cadets?”

Soon Ji-hoon is scratching his head and thinking about something.

“I didn’t reawaken, but I think it would be right for me to go to class 1.”

Ji-hoon, who was spouting nonsense right in front of his eyes, was unknowingly scratching Professor Jin’s stomach.
