Hunter training pilot high school (2)
two days later.
“I liked that sword.”
Hong Seok-young sat in the driver’s seat and spoke to me.
“Even the owner is covered. “Thanks to you, I went to many hospitals.”
I glanced at Yoo Ji-eun’s sword lying in the backseat.
“Is that so?”
“There is no sword that can tell its owner that well.”
Yoo Ji-eun’s sword was famous for its dirty temper just as much as its owner’s temper. If someone other than the owner catches it, it is burned.
I couldn’t write it originally either. Yoo Ji-eun’s magic power and my magic power do not match well. Of course, the sword hated me too.
“Is this your sword?”
“no.”
“then?”
“It belongs to someone I know.”
The reason I can use that sword now is because Yoo Ji-eun personally handed over ownership to it right before she died.
“Did you steal it?”
“Then I would have been burned too.”
“but.”
Hong Seok-young did not ask any more questions. I didn’t have the heart to answer anyway. That’s a good story.
I looked out the window. The streets were chaotic, as if the aftermath of the Myeongdong dungeon was still lingering.
Although the damage was reduced thanks to me, there cannot be no casualties. At this point, everything, not just the human rights of the awakened, is lacking. It is difficult to properly calculate the damage to the general public. It will probably continue to be like that for a while.
“so… .”
Perhaps not satisfied with the continued silence, Hong Seok-young opened his mouth again.
“Have you thought about what to teach the kids?”
“They told me to teach you runes.”
“It did.”
“Then I have to teach you runes, right?”
“No, what rune… Hmm.”
Hong Seok-young pointed to the sword in the back seat.
“You’re not upset because I didn’t return it, right?”
“Even if I gave it back, I can’t use it because of the magic control tool.”
“I’m upset.”
“no.”
“I’m upset.”
“Because it’s not.”
Seokyoung Hong chuckled.
“Even if you can’t use your abilities, you still have the edge. Blades are prohibited at our school. “Even in class, we have to use something with a blunt blade.”
Hunter Academy was like that too.
But that… .
“It’s not just students, right?”
“no. “I also use no days at school.”
When I looked at him with surprising eyes, Hong Seok-young looked at me with surprised eyes.
“That’s enough when teaching children.”
“what… . “I guess so.”
“Anyway, since you teach runes, you won’t need any weapons.”
“Just tell your students that you don’t want to give a suspicious guy a weapon and stick with him.”
“Not necessarily.”
But I don’t completely deny it either.
He’s a really annoying person… .
Of course, if I were to work with a kid like me, I wouldn’t give him any weapons.
I sighed inwardly.
While we exchanged brief words, the car drove along the road without stopping.
The scenery outside the window was also changing little by little. The dense forest of buildings disappeared, the height of the buildings gradually decreased, and they became no longer visible.
The same goes for roads. Instead of a straight asphalt road, there was a bumpy dirt road.
… Was the road to Demonstration High School like this?
Hunter Academy has not changed from its pilot high school location. The location itself is a bit far from Seoul, but… It wasn’t a country road. Rather, it developed as the commercial district developed around the academy.
hmm.
They keep setting the standard as 2041. This is 2021. Since the pilot high school had just been built, there was probably nothing around.
Even taking that into account, it still seems like there’s nothing there.
“Is this the right way?”
Feeling anxious, I asked just in case.
“that’s right.”
Hong Seok-young answered quickly. The answer is so fast that it actually makes me anxious.
You’re not going to pretend it’s a demonstration high school and go somewhere else, right?
“There are many dungeons around here, so development is restricted. So it looks like this.”
“ah.”

It was like that.
Before the magic power meter was created, the area near the dungeon was an area to be avoided. No one wanted to live next to a surprise box, never knowing when a monster would pop out.
However, it is perfect for training hunters. Practice is also convenient. Even people who were skeptical about establishing a pilot high school passed over it after hearing about its location. There will be a hunter stationed next to the dungeon, so who can stop it?
Twenty years later, all the dungeons around here were closed. So I forgot.
“Everyone is here.”
Seokyoung Hong stopped the car.
It was after we had gone a long way after reaching the winding dirt road.
“… “Here?”
I hesitated and got out of the car.
Due to such circumstances, the pilot high school did not receive support and the head of the headquarters used his own funds to resolve the issue. There is no other reason why the head of the headquarters sometimes referred to that period as volunteer work.
No matter how well-paid a job it is to be a hunter, school is a pitiful place.
I know that too. But no matter what, it’s still like that.
“haha. “Isn’t it too empty?”
Hong Seok-young chuckled next to him.
I can’t end this by saying it’s empty. It’s so empty that there’s nothing there.
It is an open space with a large reed field surrounding it. Somehow, a chilling wind blows from somewhere.
The vacant lot is wide. The reeds that grew haphazardly were cut down to widen the area, so there is a clump of cut reeds nearby. And next to it, three containers were placed side by side. All three are office containers with windows.
“The building will go up starting next year.”
“this… “A real school?”
“It’s a temporary building.”
“You want me to teach here?”
“Originally, beginnings are weak.”
“… … .”
This didn’t even appear in textbooks. The head of the department never said anything.
this… A container is a school?
Hong Seok-young laughed heartily.
“Welcome to the Hunter Training Demonstration High School, Mr. Wu.”
* * *
“Now, pay attention.”
There are a total of eight children gathered together in the container classroom. I’ve seen five of them.
The short boy sitting in front was shaking his head. Seungyeon Lee looked at my face and Hong Seokyoung’s face alternately. Her face is very flushed.
My plan… No, he seems to have been deeply impressed by my kindness. Otherwise, it would have been unfair.
“This is teacher Woo Hee-jae, who will be in charge of Seohyun and Jin-woo from today. There will be friends who saw it too, so don’t bother the teacher too much. Understand?”
Hong Seok-young introduced himself calmly.
Honestly, I left it out too much. I went through all that trouble to save the kids, but a little more… Dramatic introduction, you know.
“Teacher!”
Luckily, it seemed like I wasn’t the only one who thought that way, as Seungyeon Lee raised her hand.
At the same time, Oh Hyun-wook, who was sitting with a sullen expression, also raised his hand.
“uh. “Hyunwook.”
Hong Seok-young naturally ignored Lee Seung-yeon and called Oh Hyun-wook.
“When I saw him, he was using a sword. “Not a wizard.”
“hmm. yes. “Mr. Wu is not a wizard.”
“Then why are you in charge of Seohyun and Jinwoo?”
“Because I’m going to teach you runes. “I brought you here with great difficulty.”
Then this time Choi Jin-woo raised his hand. Seungyeon Lee still had his hand raised.
“The magic shield rune? Or a new rune?”
“Something new. “It will be more than helpful to both of you, so don’t fall asleep and listen carefully.”
“Isn’t that amazing? “Can you just teach us?!”
“I guess you decided to teach me because it worked. “Why don’t you like it?”
“no!! So good!!!”
Then an unknown student sitting next to Jinwoo Choi intervened.
“teacher. “Can only monks take that class?”
“That’s not it… . “Because only Seohyun and Jinwoo can draw runes?”
When was the magic pen made? Should I just release that too?
Even if it is impossible to use a proper magic pen, the primitive methods that hunters use when in a hurry can be solved.
That would be enough for this era.
“Anyone who wants to listen can listen. Anyway, class hours at our school are free. “It would be helpful to learn something.”
Seungyeon Lee raised her hand again. This time I didn’t wait and jumped right in.
“Oh, teacher. “Are you hurt anywhere at that time?”
Good guy. Are you worried about my safety? It is on a different level from the hunters twenty years later.
Seungyeon Lee said with tears in her eyes.
“Mister, where can you go like that! “I was really worried!!”
“that’s right. “I was really worried.”
Yoo Hye-eun, who was next to Lee Seung-yeon in Myeong-dong, also joined in with concern.
They are innocent children. She was so naive that even Hong Seok-young couldn’t anticipate what her children would say, so her eyes widened.
Hunters don’t usually ask how I’m doing like this. It is a world where if you die, it is your fault, so your settlement is mine, and if you live, it is thanks to me, so your bundle is mine.
A person who went into a dungeon and died after being betrayed by a party member… I think I was one of the first students. It was so long ago that I don’t remember much. I’ll have to look for it with the magic clock later.
“I asked the teacher to find out, but he didn’t even say anything! Even my aunt said she wasn’t sure… .”
“I’m really afraid that something is wrong with you… .”
“Are you really okay? “Are you hurt?”
Lee Seung-yeon and Yoo Hye-eun, who were talking a lot, didn’t seem like they would calm down easily. After leaving it for a moment, Choi Jin-woo also joined in. Oh Hyun-wook was just looking at him with his arms crossed, but he didn’t stop him… Seohyun Park.
“… … .”
Why is he like that?
Park Seo-hyun was sitting in the corner, her white face looking pale. His long hair, which was fine when I saw him in Myeongdong, is now messy and tangled. There is blood on his cracked lips, as if he had bitten them.
That figure is not Park Seo-hyun, a student from the pilot high school I saw in Myeong-dong… She looks close to the gloomy woman I know, the witch Park Seo-hyun.
It’s only been about 10 days at most since Myeongdong. What on earth happened?
* * *
‘Uh huh. Magistrates. ‘I drew it wrong there.’
The man who was passed out on the floor of the building pointed out something from behind.
Seohyun Park gritted her teeth and erased the runes she had drawn. Choi Jin-woo, who was drawing runes next to him, also crumpled the paper.
There are only six. You only need to draw six correctly.
I don’t want to ignore my friend, but didn’t I learn magic from my grandfather? Jinwoo, on the other hand, only awakened last year and had never used his magic properly before entering the pilot high school. He said he should do better than Jinwoo.
If this rune really blocks magical power like the suspicious man said, it will cause a huge stir.
‘Seohyun. ‘Look at what I drew the runes.’
‘Yes… I think something is a little wrong here.’
‘really?! Ah, I see. Then, can I fix it like this?’
‘It looks okay, but…’ . ‘Did you ask that guy?’
‘I’ll ask you first.’
When I saw him smiling shyly, I couldn’t help but say something.
Park Seo-hyun just nodded and focused on the rune she was drawing.
A blank piece of paper filled with runes. It wasn’t complicated, but I couldn’t draw it carelessly because I thought my friends’ lives were at stake here. After repeating drawing, editing, and drawing several times, I finally started drawing runes on my friends’ foreheads.
‘Jinwoo. are you okay?’
Park Seo-hyun saw Jin-woo drawing runes on his forehead, sweating profusely.
‘It’s really difficult to move magic power. ‘You looked like you could draw easily.’
‘My grandfather taught me when I was young. Then you only draw Hyunwook. I’ll draw Seungyeon’s runes.’
‘uh… . Isn’t it hard? No, I’ll do it.’
‘I have longer experience as a wizard than you, right? Don’t worry. I’ll have to use the shield later, so I can’t get tired before I even start.’
The man stuck out his tongue as he looked at the runes he had drawn earlier. She’s proof that she’s doing it right. Then she herself. What I do… .
I was too confident.
My grandfather was like that too.
Pride ruins everything.
Park Seo-hyun was running in the lead. Because there were many civilians, the procession was long. I didn’t hear the commotion in the back.
It wasn’t until I arrived at City Hall that I realized what had happened.
After seeing my friend’s face covered in tears.
‘The rune didn’t activate?’
Pride ruins everything.
Seungyeon said it was okay and that thanks to her everyone was safe, but she couldn’t forgive herself.
“This is teacher Woo Hee-jae, who will be in charge of Seohyun and Jin-woo from today.”
That day, the man who rescued Seungyeon and disappeared after being caught in a herd of cows followed the teacher in.
‘I drew it wrong there.’
The voice that had been lingering in my head for the past ten days rang in my ears again.
Park Seo-hyun bit her lip. He was bleeding again from his open wound.
