Chapter 16

Episode 16

[Seven Number]

An honorary title given to the 7 students with the highest grades in the school year. However, Gaon Academy’s number 7 had a special meaning.

This is because Korea was one of the world’s leading hunter countries, and Gaon was called No. 1 in Korea as well.

“It can be said that such benefits are natural for such elites!”

Principal Jin Byeong-cheol smiled broadly as he explained the privileges of Seven Number.

Jin Byeong-cheol’s crush and affection was great, perhaps because of Shin Yoo-seong’s unbelievable performance. And what Jin Byeong-cheol was most grateful to Shin Yoo-seong was the right to send.

‘How many broadcasting stations did you visit today...’

Shin Yoo-seong quickly became a hot topic after the test of Jewel Island was broadcast with his outstanding skills that did not suit his F-class characteristics and his overwhelming beauty with his syllables.

[The King’s disciple! 3rd place achieved!]

[Shin Yuseong! Destroy the Crystal Golem!]

[Unusual performance with F-class traits!]

Various news received real-time search terms, and perhaps because of that, broadcasting stations sought Gaon’s principal, Jin Byung-cheol, to monopolize Shin Yoo-seong.

“If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask me anything!”

Thanks to Shin Yoo-seong, I found the location of Gap after a long time. Perhaps because of that, Jin Byeong-cheol smiled kindly and made Shin Yu-seong as comfortable as possible.

“thank you.”

Let’s Shin Yuseong smile innocently and answer. Jin Byeong-cheol answered with a smile and held out a piece of paper.

“Heh heh! To be thankful, read the paper first!”

Shin Yoo-seong didn’t even know why Jin Byung-cheol was good to him, but he could tell at once from Jin Byung-cheol’s attitude that he had goodwill.

Paslock.

Shin Yoo-sung held up the paper that Jin Byeong-cheol held out.

[One. Dignity maintenance cost support]

[2. Dormitory for Seven Number only]

[3. Permission to go out on weekdays (outside activities)]

[4. Voluntary participation in class]

[5. Portal use fee support]

[6. Academy City exclusive VIP card support]

[...]

The benefits of Seven Number were written on the paper. First of all, for Seven Number, money close to the salary of an office worker was paid by the government every month in the name of maintaining dignity, and seven dormitory rooms for Seven Number boasted state-of-the-art facilities comparable to hotels.

In addition, permission to go out for extracurricular activities and the right to participate in only the classes you want. And the benefits of Seven Number, such as a card that allows free use of various facilities in Academy City, were endless.

Unconventional support available only in Korea, a hunter powerhouse.

‘...It’s amazing.’

Let’s look at the paper with Shin Yuseong’s eyes shining in sincere admiration. Jin Byeong-cheol smiled proudly and laughed heartily.

“It may not be obvious, but I paid more attention to some provisions. Whoops!”

Jin Byeong-cheol looked at Shin Yoo-seong and carefully added his words.

“And now that you’ve reached number 7, how about taking part in extracurricular activities? It will be a good experience.”

extracurricular activities.

There are many places in society to find hunters, but the number of active duty workers was sorely lacking, so companies replaced some jobs with talented students.

Of course, if the request was successful, the students received the amount and SP, and the school took the reputation and introduction fee. In other words, outside activities were no different from Hunter missions.

“I am willing to participate whenever there is a request.”

Fortunately, Shin Yoo-seong had heard about Lee Si-woo’s explanation, so he was well aware of the extracurricular activities.

“haha! Don’t overflow with requests! However, this extracurricular activity is a bit bigger. Of course, the rewards are great!”

Jin Byeong-cheol smiled and took out the application form as if he had waited.

[Request: Academy Dungeon Attack Contest]

‘Of course, Master broke through the 60th floor.’

Thanks to this, Yu Won-hak, the king of Kwon, gave many gifts to mankind. In order to become the strongest Hunter, he had to have that level of achievement. But that’s still early.

‘I’ll do what I can.’

Shin Yoo-seong checked his watch on his phone and left the dormitory.

Gaon Academy uses an artificial island on the sea as its site, like a natural fortress.

In a way, it seems closed, but the weekend at the academy was a different story. If you ride the school bus operated by the school and pass through the tunnel built under the sea, you can arrive at Hunter Academy’s famous [Academy City].

In fact, the reason why the name Academy City was attached to an ordinary downtown area was simple.

‘Because there are over 10 academies built around it.’

Perhaps thanks to this, students from various academies enjoyed their weekends in Academy City, and among them, there were students who recognized Shin Yuseong.

“uh!? Isn’t that Shin Yooseong?”

“Huck Gaon Academy?”

“Right! Yoosung Shin! How can I forget that face?”

Shin Yoo-seong became more famous than expected due to Joo Ha-jin’s Dalian and Jewel Island test broadcasts.

Sailors.

As the students’ murmur grew louder, a familiar face approached from afar with passive steps.

“Ah, over there...”

Sumire Hanajima.

The main character of the band electrode, who rose from 209th place to 6th place, the seventh number in one test.

Yooseong Shin hesitates to keep talking about the nervous Sumire. Rather, he hit the player.

“Shall we go and apply first?”

“ah! Yes, yes!”

* * *

Only 10 minutes.

Shin Yoo-sung and Sumire presented their student IDs at the Hunter Association branch established in Academy City and received permission for extracurricular activities.

Sumire hadn’t been able to do extracurricular activities due to low grades before, and Shin Yoo-seong stopped by the Hunter Association together because he received grades for the first time.

After coming out of the association, Sumire stared at her student ID for a long time as if thrilled, then muttered in a low voice.

“I really... I’m getting permission.”

It was a moment Sumire had always dreamed of making money and sending it to her parents’ home in Japan through out-of-town activities.

“Uh uh uh... I was always rejected because I was in 209th place. Passing lightly this time... I still can’t believe it.”

“Good. Are the efforts worthwhile?”

Shin Yoo-seong answered casually and walked down the street, and Sumire hurriedly followed Shin Yoo-seong and waved her hands from side to side.

“No effort! what am i I didn’t do much.... In the end, I couldn’t catch even a single carbuncle with my hands, and if it wasn’t for the hair Shin Yoo-seong gave me...

” talked about it for a long time. Then, unlike usual, his eyes were shining and he even made a promise with a voice full of enthusiasm.

“Still me! In the class competition, I will do my best not to become Shin Yoo-seong’s burden... several times over!”

The class battle was one of the most unfair tests at Gaon Academy. It is always held once a year, but there was no precedent for the lower class to beat the upper class.

It was close to impossible for Class F, a group of students with Class F characteristics, to beat Class A, which had Class A characteristics.

This is because even if there is a student who has exceptional skills compared to their characteristics, it is meaningless if the average of the other students is low in the class competition where team play is important.

However, Sumire had the belief that if she had Shin Meteor, she could defeat any class.

“If... if you are in danger in the anti-war battle, even if I risk my life...”

Let Sumire continue to burn with excessive loyalty. Shin Yoo-seong replied with a shy face.

“Okay, let’s do our best.”

“Hehe yes! Call me anytime if you need me! ...Ah, Yoosung Shin doesn’t need my help, right? Shin Yoo-seong is so strong...”

Sumire finished speaking and tried to look at Shin Yoo-seong, but lowered her head again as if embarrassed. Although her skills are still immature, Sumire’s loyalty, considering Shin Yoo-seong as her benefactor, was the best.
