Chapter 27 - Don’t Touch (1) (1/2)

Don’t Touch (1)

“What? Are you going to say something? Haha.”

Kim Hyun-tae stiffened for a moment when I turned around and looked at him; then he smiled his way out of it.

He looked no better than his brother.

He’s just a fool.

“Hey, hey! Where are you going?”

I ignored him and went into the classroom. He sounded a little embarrassed.

Of course, there was no reason to listen to what he has to say.

“Jeong Si-woo! Ah… this little bitch.”

I went inside without stopping.

The classroom was much wider and more comfortable than that of the second grade.

First, I liked the fact that each student had a single table, not a long table shared with others.

Without worrying about anyone peeking, I took my notes out and spread them out on my desk.

[Who’s that guy?]

“Kim Hyun-cheol. He’s the older brother of the guy we’ve taken care of.”

[Oh, that one. The one with the fake weapon and fail in the actual evaluation…]

“Yeah. I think he did that because he’s younger brother had been traumatized.”

In the senior class, no one cared even if I spoke to myself. This is because, after the end of the semester evaluation, I’ve explained that it was related to my newfound ability.

It was also an environment where no one cared even if you slept in class.

-Hunting monsters.

-Third-level hunter front position.

-Written examinations, a summary of all subjects.

-Phenomenon analysis.

-Importance of position.

As I organized my notes in front of me, I glanced at the other graduate students around me.

Most were preparing for the hunter’s test they would take after graduation.

Students who have already confirmed to enter guilds were nowhere to be seen inside the classroom.

Instead, they are focused on the training ground or in gaining experience by joining professional attacks in the auxiliary positions.

I checked my notes once more.

Suddenly, someone slapped a hand at my desk.

It was Kim Hyun-tae.

“Hey, why are you ignoring me?”

“Oh, you followed me.”

“You… Were you muttering about me earlier? I won’t let that go.”

The guy didn’t lower his voice. The other students looked at where the noise was coming from, then immediately turned when they saw it was Kim Hyun-tae.

Guilds were a big thing for cadets who dream of being hunters. The three major guilds are looked up at as heaven.

Kim Hyun-tae is the son of a guild leader.

To put it bluntly, for other cadets, this ugly guy is a child of heaven.

I sighed. “If you have anything to say, go ahead and do it. Don’t be noisy.”

Hyun-tae’s face became more distorted.

I came out of the classroom, and he followed while speaking in a loud voice.

“I have no intention of following your orders. I am two years your senior and…”

“Nope.”

“You… what kind of confidence do you have? The professors praised you a little, so you think you can do anything?”

Kim Hyun-tae grinned. I responded.

“Then, can you do anything?”

“What?”

“You were born as the second son of a guild leader. You didn’t have to work for anything.”

“…”

“The guild leader had worked hard to reach his position. Do you think your father knows how you and your brother is acting in the academy?”

“What are you saying… … .”

There were two emotions that came to Kim Hyun-tae’s face.

Fear and embarrassment.

“Work properly,” I advised him. “Don’t be an embarrassment to your father.”

The guild chiefs established a group of awakened people in a confusing era.

They were heroes who were at the forefront against numerous monsters.

“Or, you would regret it later.” I finished.

“…”

Kim Hyun-tae tried to say something, but he kept quiet.

I turned slowly, recalling his pathetic future.

* * *

“Is there still no contact from Jeong Si-woo?”

“Yeah. It is said that he received offers from all three major guilds. Maybe it’s quite a worry for him.”

“It’s not an easy decision. I’m worried, too. I hope he can choose our guild,” the middle-aged man muttered as he looked out the window.

“Maybe… Is he the same age as our youngest?”

“Yes. He must have been the same age as Hyun-cheol.”

“Maybe they are friends. Maybe he would come to us so they can be active hunters together.”

“Well, I don’t think the two kids are alike in level…”

“You think? If it can be compared, why don’t we just get Hyun-cheol? Ha ha ha ha.”

The man burst into laughter.

He had a long beard to go with his long hair.

He was also wearing a hanbok. He looked like he was living in a different era.

“Hyun-cheol must be competent in all directions to compare to him. I don’t know if he could pass the hunter’s test even after he turns twenty.”
