Professor Gong, who briefly heard the whole story from Han So-jeong, is running like crazy.

Towards the Class 1 training ground…

It wasn’t that far away, but to Professor Gong, every minute and every second he was running felt like an eon.

It has to be stopped.

It has to be stopped somehow.

Direct upward placement from class 11 to class 2.

There was a high possibility that he had reawakened, had hidden his abilities, or one of the two.

You probably have tremendous confidence in your own strength.

Of course, it would be a skill that you would want to show off somewhere.

Otherwise, how would you have risen to the second class in one go?

However, no one should recklessly challenge Class 1.

It didn’t matter whether the guy named Kang Ji-hoon was a hunter who had reawakened and become stronger, or a hunter who had been hiding his powers for a long time.

No matter which of the two cases he is, it is not for 1st class cadets.

When Professor Kong first arrived after being offered a professorship at the academy, there were times when he did not understand why he was a professor in charge of class 2 instead of class 1.

Over ten years of defeating numerous gates and experiencing life-or-death battles with the Black Hunters…

This is because he was confident that his hunter ability would be second to none.

However, when he happened to watch the sparring between Class 1 cadets, the strangeness he felt was something that could not be explained in words.

‘Beings outside of common sense’

Song Yoo-kyung, the chairman of the academy who proposed the position of professor in charge of Class 2, gave Professor Gong a position that Professor Gong could handle.

Those in class 1… weren’t the ones who had to learn something.

Each and every one of them was just a monster.

The academy, under the pretense of being the nation’s best hunter training institution, managed to keep them in one place and observe them.

Because they are already the next-generation national combat force just by their very existence…

An academy where the best hunter talents in Korea gather.

Among them, classes 1 to 3 are grouped as higher classes.

However, this may be a name arbitrarily given by outsiders who have no idea about the internal situation.

No, it could be a ploy by the Academy that does not want to reveal its internal circumstances.

The levels of the 1st class cadets and the 2nd and 3rd class cadets were too different to be grouped into the same upper class.

The 2nd and 3rd class cadets were hunters who still needed training and could literally be taught.

However, Class 1 cadets did not receive any classes.

Although there was clearly a set curriculum, none of the 12 people followed it properly.

Everyone will either train in their own way or handle the work of the guild they are affiliated with.

Although he already has a place in the guild, he maintains his position as a 1st class cadet at the academy.

Even though everyone knows, they just tolerate it.

Although he does not attend classes or show up at the academy often, he regularly receives subsidies and browses information about the academy.

All 12 class 1 cadets enjoyed ridiculous privileges.

However, no one is even thinking of imposing sanctions.

What sanctions will be imposed?

It must be an academy where people who have nothing to learn are grateful just for not leaving…

Perhaps because of this, the rate of personality breakdown among class 1 cadets was quite high.

These are people who have never heard anything bad about someone in their lives…

They were young hunters living their lives getting everything they wanted and doing everything they wanted to do.

You might think that the academy’s biggest reason for existence is to foster high-ability hunters at the national level, but that’s not true.

Those who know exactly the truth say:

The biggest reason for the Academy’s existence is to supervise Class 1 cadets so that they do not become Black Hunters.

This is precisely the reason why people who have nothing to learn, monsters who have already been completed, are tied up for a while even if all efforts are made.

“Huh…Huh..Huh”

Professor Gong Jin-soo is a hunter whose physical abilities are incomparable to those of ordinary people.

He’s out of breath after playing for just a few minutes?

This wasn’t because of his lack of stamina.

The tension and ominous premonition that surrounded his entire body tormented him so much that he could not even breathe properly.

His new disciple, whom he has not even seen yet, will be seriously injured.

If something is broken or hit moderately, you can bring a healer to treat it…

But there are too many crazy people in class 1.

Is there a person among the Class 1 cadets who has enough character to scold Kang Ji-hoon, who suddenly demanded that he give up his position, and send him on his way?

‘Please… I shouldn’t have hurt you too badly…’

Just because he was promoted to class 2, he was a valuable talent that the academy should cherish and protect.

You shouldn’t lose it this easily…

Bubble bung

pop

Professor Gong, who has almost reached the Class 1 training site, hears that sound again.

When I passed by this area earlier, the sound that I had dismissed as the sound of internal construction was now heard again as the sound of such terrible violence.

Professor Kong’s body moves as if he is being sucked into a building.

The door suddenly opens with his hand.

A miserable sight that cannot exist in a space called a training center comes into view.

The floor is all cracked.

The window has turned into creepy sharp pieces and is scattered everywhere.

The walls blocking all directions were shattered as if they had been hit by cannons.

“What is this…”

This narrow training ground, no, it’s too large a space to be a training ground…

Anyway, did a small war break out in this training ground?

Are these traces that a person… or rather, a hunter can make?

It was then.

Pubung

Powwow

Hwiung

Powwow

An object that appears to be a person flies in front of Professor Gong’s eyes.

No, should we say that it is thrown rather than flying of its own volition?

‘It’s… a jersey, a person…’

It wasn’t just a ball, it was a person being thrown from end to end of the training ground.

Powwow

The new model that was thrown hit the western wall of the training ground with a loud sound.

‘Ah… it wasn’t a cannon, it was a person being fired.’

Professor Kong’s doubts about how such a shape was created on the wall are resolved.

This is not the time to be admiring.

Professor Gong closes his mouth, quickly comes to his senses, and throws a new weapon to block the path of his new student, who is pinned against the wall.

“Now…wait!!! Please stop!”

The guy who threw the person against the wall in the middle of the training hall looks at Professor Gong.

‘Class 1… who is it? It’s a face I don’t know…’

Because Class 1 cadets came and went from the academy as they pleased, even Professor Gong did not know the faces of all of them.

As a result, Professor Gong couldn’t even tell who that guy was in Class 1.

“Ugh…ugh”

His new disciple, pinned against the wall, groans and crawls out, pushing away the brick remains.

“Kang…Kang Ji-hoon! Are you a cadet Jihoon Kang? Is it okay?”

Professor Gong rushes over and checks the injured person’s condition.

One of his legs was hanging limp, as if all his bones had been crushed, and his face was so swollen that it was difficult to recognize it.

How can people be made into such a mess?

“Stop…I’m sorry…I’m done now, right? Please stop…”

His sad voice rings in Professor Kong’s ears.

Professor Gong’s magic power boils without even realizing it.

I know that no matter how veteran a hunter I am, I will not be able to defeat a class 1 monster with natural talent.

However, it was impossible for him to turn around and say nothing after seeing his new disciple become like this.

Duuung

The blue magic that surrounds Professor Gong’s entire body flows and rises like a haze.

It was then.

Instead of being behind him, someone was crawling through the brick rubble from the southern wall a little away.

He was injured even more than the person lying behind him.

“I…I’m sorry too…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…Please stop”

What is it that he is so sorry about? He keeps spitting out the words that he is sorry, but then falls forward.

Professor Gong had no idea what was going on.

Why were there two people thrown against the wall and spilling out?

One of them must be Kang Ji-hoon’s friend, but who is the other one?

at that time

The person who is believed to have beaten them to death and thrown them into the wall in the center of the training ground is spitting out words.

“Uh…yeah, it’s not that hard to say sorry, right? If I had said something from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been hit like this… Why are you going through all the trouble”

Even though he was the perpetrator, he looked at the injured people with pity.

“Well…that…who are you…?”

“…? Are you a professor? 1 class?”

“No…I’m Jinsu Gong, the professor in charge of class 2.”

“Ah…Class 2? hello. This is Kang Ji-hoon, newly assigned to class 2!”

He walks towards Professor Gong and bows his head in greeting.

“Sorry for being late from the first day. Are you here looking for me? It’s hard to see the Class 1 kids at the academy, but I managed to meet three of them today and talk to them…”

The two people stuck against the wall over there are Class 1 cadets?

Now that I think about it… I couldn’t recognize his face because it was so bright, but it was a familiar face.

‘Over there is Hwang Ui-tae, over here… Jeong In-hyuk… both are first-class A-level hunters… I’ve seen them before…’

After barely recognizing the fallen two, Professor Gong’s eyes turn again to the person who introduced himself as Kang Ji-hoon.

‘huh? Three people? ‘Not two, but three?’

Professor Gong sees Ji-hoon smiling brightly and giving a warm greeting.

Tuong

A person falls from the sky to his left.

“Mi…I’m sorry…let’s say it in words…”

It was the third Class 1 cadet stuck on the ceiling.

“Okay, the professor is here too, so let’s talk now, please”

Ji-hoon, who doesn’t have a single wound on his body, grumbles as if he is being unfairly treated.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like you’re the one who hit it…

With Jihoon’s last words, the fallen guys crawl back, barely dragging their injured bodies.
