Chapter 203

The vast grounds of the academy were filled with people, leaving no room to step.

The big festival that happened once a year was enough to attract all kinds of diverse people.

The sweet smell of food wafted from the stalls that were set up everywhere, and the new students and their relatives gathered in groups and chatted loudly.

There were also collectors, reporters, and broadcasters who were looking for promising future talents or exclusive stories.

A bustling scene of various human figures in one place.

Yu-hyun had only seen a similar sight when he went to recruit Kwon Jia at the collector training center graduation ceremony.

Seo Sumin, who was slightly annoyed by the crowd, opened her mouth.

“There are so many people.”

Seo Sumin had just entered the academy grounds with her family’s farewell a little while ago.

Now that she was outside, and surrounded by people, she was conscious of their gaze and used a tone of speech that suited her age.

Yu-hyun nodded silently and looked at the academy building beyond the crowd.

He felt a strange feeling as he saw the huge white structure shining in the sunlight.

[Why are you like that?]

‘Because it was a place I couldn’t go to even if I wanted to in my previous life.’

Yu-hyun in his previous life wanted to be a collector, but he couldn’t because he wasn’t chosen.

So he checked various information about collectors, but he never participated in such a big event festival.

He thought it would break his heart. He thought he would go crazy with jealousy if he saw other peers going to places he couldn’t go to.

[Are you okay now?]

‘I’m fine now. I don’t need to be obsessed with the academy anymore.’

Rather, the academy students envy Yu-hyun.

He is the master of a great collector and a teller who is much stronger than most collectors.

In fact, there were a lot of eyes looking at Yu-hyun around him.

‘Wow. Look over there. That guy. He’s so handsome.’

‘Who is he? He’s obviously not a new student. Is he a family member or a sponsor of a new student?’

‘Is the white-haired kid next to him the admission target? I’ve never seen him before.’

‘No, wait. Isn’t that guy Kang Yu-hyun, the teller?’

Now that Yu-hyun had become quite famous, there were people who recognized him.

Especially those who knew a little bit about anything related to collectors widened their eyes when they saw Yu-hyun.

A teller who fought alongside collectors, Yu-hyun was more rare than a natural monument.

[Hey. Everyone is staring at you. What if they ask you for an autograph?]

‘I don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already taken care of it.’

Yu-hyun deliberately released his energy and blocked people’s approach.

Ordinary people couldn’t approach him even if they wanted to because of their instinctive reaction to his energy.

Most of them wondered ‘Why am I doing this?’ while feeling puzzled.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Seo Sumin glanced at Yu-hyun.

“You’re intentionally releasing your energy.”

“Of course. If I don’t do this, there will be too many annoying people clinging to me.”

“Well, I’m glad it’s comfortable for me too... but I can’t help the attention.”

Seo Sumin felt that she was also getting interested.

Yu-hyun was so famous in some sense that the new student he brought with him, Seo Sumin, also received attention.

Some of those eyes were mixed with jealousy towards her.

“What about the two sisters? Don’t you have to bring them too?”

“They’re busy training right now. Besides, if they came here too, it would have been more chaotic around here.”

Even though Yu-hyun scattered his energy, there were people who hesitated to approach him.

It was obvious that people would block the way if either Kwon Jia or Kang Hyerim showed up.

Above all, the two of them were so immersed in the skills that Seo Sumin taught them that they had no interest in anything else.

That was why Yu-hyun came alone.

Seo Sumin understood that, but she didn’t mind being alone with Yu-hyun.

“Let’s not stand here for too long, let’s move.”

“Ah, yes.”

Yu-hyun grabbed Seo Sumin’s hand and pulled her.

A few women who were watching them let out a small sigh, but the two of them didn’t care.

As they entered the auditorium where the entrance ceremony was prepared, there were already quite a lot of people waiting.

“Oh.”

[The entrance ceremony will begin soon, so please gather in the auditorium, students.]

“Ah. It’s starting now.”

“Let’s go and line up.”

Yura draggedSumin by the hand and disappeared into the auditorium.

“We should go too. We can’t stay inside anymore since only the students and the collector guardians can. Yu-hyun, you stay here as a guardian, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Heh. Yura always talked a lot about you, Yu-hyun. I wanted to chat with you more, but it’s a shame. Let’s meet again next time if we have a chance.”

“Yes. Of course. It was nice to meet you today. Take care.”

“Yes.”

As soon as the entrance ceremony began, people who were not students or collector guardians were restricted from entering, so the two parents left the auditorium with regret.

Yu-hyun waved his hand at them until they disappeared.

Yu-hyun, who stayed here as a ‘guardian’, found an empty seat where he could see the auditorium below.

The auditorium of the collector academy was much larger than the dome stadium that covered the ceiling. It was easy to find an empty seat.

As he sat down, he saw a neat scene below his eyes.

The students in uniforms were lined up in rows and columns, and the academy instructors surrounded them with dignity.

Yu-hyun easily spottedSumin and Kang Yura. The light emitted by their books was brilliant compared to other students.

‘The other students are not easy either, but there is a clear difference in level.’

The Korean collector academy was a place where most of the talented people from around the world gathered because of its reputation as the first academy.

It was a place where people who were famous overseas competed together, so it was almost impossible to get a high rank in the collector academy.

Even considering that, Yu-hyun was confident that Kang Yura andSumin would not be pushed back.

‘There are some other noticeable people.’

Yu-hyun’s eyes lingered on some of the students.

There were quite a few students with colorful hair, probably from abroad.

They all had full of personality as befitting collector candidates.

“Besides, the guardians are all quite influential people.”

The seats were filled with guardians like Yu-hyun, who were all well-known figures in the media.

They were either owners of large corporations, famous collectors, or people from overseas clans.

“They even have people from the Nemesis clan here.”

The combined power and wealth of the people gathered in these seats could wipe out a small country.

That’s why the academy agents looked very tense.

If they caused any friction between them, it wouldn’t end with a simple matter.

“I can’t let my guard down just because it’s a simple academy.”

Yu-hyun thought so as someone sat next to him.

He looked at the person who sat next to him.

There were many other empty seats, but he chose to sit next to him. That meant he had something to do with him.

“Hello.”

“...Yes. Hello.”

The person who sat next to him was a man who had a somewhat frivolous atmosphere. However, that didn’t mean it was bad.

Rather, it suited his languid eyes and casual behavior.

Yu-hyun quickly scanned the man’s appearance.

He had long hair tied around his neck, and a beard that was not properly trimmed on his chin.

His eyes were languid, but there was a sharp light in them that he couldn’t hide.

Even though the weather wasn’t completely hot yet, he wore loose shorts and a short-sleeved T-shirt.

He looked out of place in this seat no matter how he looked.

“Do you have something to do with me?”

“Ah, look at me. My name is...”

“I know. You’re Lim Gunwoo, a collector from the Nemesis clan. Right?”

“Oh? You knew about me?”

“It would be strange if I didn’t. You’re a famous person.”

The man’s name was Lim Gunwoo.

He was a collector affiliated with the Nemesis clan, and one of the few high-ranking collectors in the country.

His exact rank was Species 2nd Grade.

He was a great expert who was at least in the middle of the high-ranking collectors.

“So, what do you want from me from the Nemesis clan?”

Yu-hyun cut him off and asked, and Lim Gunwoo’s eyes sparkled.
