Chapter 322 – Beginning of Year 2 (1)
*
The long, if short, winter vacation is over before anyone knows it, and now the start of school is just around the corner.
During the vacation, I continued to train and take care of the children, so the time passed quickly.
Taking care of Min-ji, Min-ah, Seo-a, Da-eun and Da-eun and Su-a met each other and went on a date.
“Did you say tomorrow?”
“Your sister.”
“He’s… What old ladies say he likes.”
Of course, my mother-in-law also met and took care of me like this. Compared to the other kids, we meet for a bit longer, but once we meet, it’s a little more intense.
My mother-in-law gently stroked my cheek while covering herself with a blanket.
Unlike Minji and Minah, it had a rich taste that was different from the two as a married woman who had raised a child after getting married.
I don’t know if it’s because of the age difference, but there is a feeling that I want to rely on him a little.
“Do you like Auntie that much?”
“My sister asked me to meet her.”
“Hmmmm.. You said you were responsible, did you do that?”
“Sorry.”
Previously, he had avoided contact, but after the three-daughter rice bowl incident, he changed his mind a little more aggressively.
Since she has been lonely without her husband all this time, as her son-in-law, she should take care of her mother-in-law.
“You are already in your second year. Time flies so fast..”
“Did your older sister come to Daehan Academy?”
“Yeah, I’m from there too. I met him there too.”
“… “
“What. Are you jealous Is Siwoo really a kid?”
“No.”
“What’s wrong~ You’re such a baby?”
No matter how much he is a father-in-law, a man is a man’s neighbor. When I talked about my father-in-law, I felt a little jealous, perhaps because I was somehow affectionate.
Even though a long time has already passed, emotions can remain like that.
“So, how is Minji these days?”
“I think I took about half a step. It seemed like I could get over it with just a little more.”
“Huh.. That’s right. Minji is already looking at her A-class hunter.. Is it because he resembles him?”
“… “
“Whoops. Why is our Siwoo so jealous today?”
“No.”
“Look at me anyway. Because without him, neither Minji nor Minah would have been born.”
Well that’s true If she hadn’t had her father-in-law, there would have been no Minji and Minah.
From my point of view, it is correct that I should be grateful to my father-in-law, but should I say it is a complex and subtle emotion?
‘Honestly, if I were my father-in-law, I’d be the one to kill him.’
Who ate all of his wife and daughters?
It seems that even a grown man would not be able to stand it, but I am not in a different position.
Minji and Mina are the ones she likes, and her mother-in-law comforted her for being alone.
Even the father-in-law will admit this.
“Is our Siwoo greedy? Do you want to have my heart while having Minji and Minah?”
“What. Because he is a man.”
“Whoa, whoa.. But it’s not okay. Even though my memories of the past are hazy now… But that person is number one.”
Widow’s pure love, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t jealous, but maybe that’s why it’s more meaningful.
In fact, since my relationship with my mother-in-law almost started as an accident, I don’t know if it’s natural.
“What next?”
“Minji and Minah?”
“… “
“Whoop whoop. Unleash your expression~ But among the living men, Siwoo is number one!”
My mother-in-law smiled tenderly as she answered that. As expected, it was no joke to smile as if the experience could not be ignored.
When you were young, no, even now, you must have made many men’s hearts cry.
Even if you go out with Minji or Mina, you look like her age. Because her body is optimized to seduce men from head to toe.
“Ugh~ Are you angry with Siwoo?”
“I am not angry.”
“Why are you so cute? Huh? Being so scared at night.”
“You’re trying to eat my sister too.”
“Who…So who said that!”
At first, he moved like some kind of machine.
Listening to Minji’s words, I heard that she was a healer when she was active, but she took the lead in swinging her fist.
I heard that she was even nicknamed a berserker because she ran like a zombie using her recovery ability as a weapon.
“Hmmmm… Anyway, don’t let your guard down just because your rank has risen, and you have to work hard until the end. Understand?”
“Your sister.”
“We Siwoo are nice~”
The corners of her mouth go up a little every time she says noona, and even if she says ajumma or something with her own mouth, isn’t it a human heart to want to live young?
Before school started, she took care of her mother-in-law one last time and headed to the academy.
*
As she became a sophomore, the position of her class also changed.
She was on her way to a new building, leaving behind the one she had been fond of for a year.
It’s definitely a place I’ve been going to for over a year, but coming to the sophomore area gave me a new feeling.
Certainly, compared to the first semester of the first year, the number of cadets decreased significantly, and the number of cadets who did not meet the standards was eliminated, so the number must be different.
When she arrived at the location announced on her smartphone, she saw familiar faces.
“Siwoo~ Hi!”
“Hello, Da-eun too.”
“Siwoo.. Are you here?”
“Hello Seo Ah?”
Da-Eun, Seo-A, and the rest of the class A students went up to the 2nd grade as they were.
I don’t like the fact that a guy like Kang Joo-won remains the same, but it was satisfying not having to break up with my kids.
There were a few people I hadn’t seen before, but like Hong Ryu-seok in the past, it seemed like people who had fallen below the level and filled the vacancy.
Those who can’t be seen must have dropped out or fell into a porter-like subclass.
In raids that aim for loot, such people are also important. Well, I can’t erase the feeling of being an assistant, though.
I was worried about this even a year ago, so I understand how you feel.
‘There are so many familiar faces, it looks like I’m still in first grade.’
It doesn’t change dramatically when you become a sophomore, but the weight of classes in similar subjects has changed.
Except for subjects such as basic theories and basic physical strength that can be learned in common, all classes are related to specialization.
In my case, it’s swordsmanship, so I don’t know if there’s anything I can learn here.
Well, other than those classes, it won’t be bad since it’s the first year to enter the gate in earnest from now on.
“I’m here?”
“What are you doing? You come so early…”
“Just. You want to come early?”
“Ha.”
After a while, Mina appeared. Minah seems to be in charge of class A as well.
That’s how it all comes together.
“I don’t know if everyone had a good vacation. It’s a bit harsh to say this from the first day, but there will be a friendly match with Republic Academy soon.”
“Isn’t the time early?”
“There are a lot of noisy things these days, so I moved the timing up a little.”
Minguk Academy, as befits an academy that makes one’s heart feel grand just by hearing its name, is the next academy after Daehan.
When it comes to ranking academies in Korea, Daehan comes first, followed by Minguk Academy, which is a common Kong line.
Minguk Academy is also famous for its high-quality education, but Daehan Academy is so unique that it can only be compared, and there are many talented people there.
Republic Academy also has a considerable number of hunters scouted by the 10th guild.
‘Still, it’s a bit lacking compared to our Daehan Academy.’
Anyhow, like a regular event, friendly engagements were held every year, and Seo Ah became famous as she stood out.
Usually, it takes place after a certain amount of time has passed, but these days, it seems that there are many problems with the Sinvillon Alliance and the rift, so the timing has been advanced.
Anxiety is growing, so you need to calm down for a while.
It doesn’t matter who is strong, because for the public, seeing them fight really resonates with them.
Last time, I only watched while sucking my finger, but this time, isn’t it worth taking a look at?
Although it took a while to expose their strength, it was the best opportunity to imprint their eyes on the guild.
“Still. It’s not right away, so I think it’s better for everyone to prepare in advance.”
“Yes! Professor!”
Grades and rankings are important, but figures like potential are not included there.
Even if the ranking is low, if you appeal that the growth potential is high enough, you can enter the top guild, so there are quite a few guys who run to death here.
There are classes even in the 10th guild, so it’s hard to compare an excellent cadet like Seo-ah in a lower guild.
So, there are some guilds that prefer hunters who are a little behind now, but who will grow significantly later. Because the famous Kim Tae-hwan was such a case.
Looking back, Minji, who is burning with fighting spirit from now on, I don’t know if I’m overdoing it.
“It’s Minji. Because I’m still doing well. Do not work too hard.”
“Ah.. I know what to do.”
*
The swordsmanship class and the grand training room, which were incomparable to the first department, caught my eye.
A more sophisticated magic circle, a facility with more upgraded facilities to absorb shock, and a small number of people seemed to be able to afford it.
More than half of the first graders fall out, so it has to be.
I heard that unlike universities that sell tuition fees, the government receives incentives based on the number of elite students.
Not lowering the difficulty of the class even though there are guys who fall behind, that must also play a part.
Then a woman came in and muttered.
“You can often see guys who are more famous than me. Nice to meet. My name is Kim Si-young, who is in charge of swordsmanship class A. Um, what’s there?”
“Ho..Are you the Gray Blade Kim Si-young?”
“I’ve never been called that before. It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.”
A woman with scars on her body made a vague expression, perhaps recalling the past. A body that looks solid without lacking anywhere.
Even on the outside, she seemed to be a person who was in her own way because she exuded her ferocious spirit.
If it was Kim Si-young, she was a hunter who was active when Kim Tae-hwan was alive, and she seems to be as famous as Min-ah.
Kim Si-young is also a hunter who almost stumbled into her S-class, so in her academy, wouldn’t she have as much power as Min-ah?
“Okay. As you all know, from the 2nd year, except for the common subjects, the number of students was distributed according to their rank. To put it simply, you are the top group among those who use swords.”
As Kim Si-young said, only high-ranking cadets were shown here, and there was no babbling like a freshman.
Should I say that even a weak-looking guy is far above average?
“Park Hye-ji.”
“Yes!”
“Were you beaten by magicians in last year’s friendly match?”
“…”
“In this game, let’s show how scary the prosecutor is. Did everyone know?”
“Yes!!!!”
I feel like this second grade class would be difficult.*
