Chapter 12
To be honest, Seoyoon couldn\'t figure out why she was doing this.
If you think about it, it was nothing.
No matter how 4-star it is, it is a manticore that has just woken up from sleep.
Compared to normal manticores, it was quite weak, and in terms of combat power, it would only be about 2 stars.
Of course, considering that, it wasn\'t something anyone could do.
However, it was not a reason for Seoyoon to care so much.
‘Let\'s try stabbing him once...\'
This was Seoyoon\'s first thought. Poke it or roll it.
So, Seoyoon told him that he would let him meet his grandfather Swordsman.
She hated borrowing her grandfather\'s fame once again, but since there was nothing that stabbed her as clearly as this, Seo-yoon opened her mouth after thinking about it.
however.
“I don’t like it.”
“yes?”
For some reason, the answer he heard was far beyond Seoyoon\'s expectations.
Seoyoon doubted whether what she heard was correct.
Even pro hunters who dream of becoming hunters are anxious to meet the swordsman.
And that encounter is because he wants to learn some lessons from the Sword Saint.
The teachings of the Sword Master were so valuable.
When he saw that he had made Seoyoon, who had no talent or willpower, into a B-class hunter, he had said nothing.
However, no matter how you look at it, the man was just squeamish.
“I hate it.”
I wasn\'t just pretending to be there, I wasn\'t really interested!
Could it be that you don\'t know who the Sword Saint is?
No way.
Seoyoon quickly shook her head.
Or someone like yourself who isn\'t interested in Hunter?
So, Seoyoon wondered if it was necessary to go this far.
To be a little more honest.
“for a moment. Let’s talk for a minute!”
Seoyoon didn\'t know why she was doing this.
Seo-jun stared blankly at Seo-yoon, who had called him.
Slight panting breath.
Sweat had formed on her forehead, as if she had jumped.
“What are you doing?”
When Seo-jun asked, Seo-yoon took a breath and answered.
“I was wondering if we could… talk a little bit.”
“So what story are you talking about?”
And at Seo-jun\'s question that followed, Seo-yoon was at a loss for words.
I was chasing after him, but it was because I didn\'t know what to say.
In the first place, Seoyoon did not clearly know why she was chasing her.
“If it\'s a story related to the sword castle, I have nothing more to say.”
When Seoyoon didn\'t say anything after a while, Seojun turned back.
“no! no! Grandpa... so it has nothing to do with the sword castle.”
Then Seo-yoon hurriedly shouted and grabbed Seo-jun, and Seo-jun stopped walking again and asked.
“Then what are we talking about?”
“That\'s...”
Seoyoon thought for a moment, blurring her words.
Before I came here, I didn\'t know much about this man for a while.
But for some reason, his background didn\'t work for this man.
It would be accurate to not even pay attention.
It was the background she tried to get away from, but when she felt indifference, Seoyoon was a little embarrassed.
situation for the first time. Seoyoon decided to just tell everything honestly.
“Are you… thinking of becoming a professional hunter?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“If so, would you like to join my academy?”
“Academy?”
Seojun tilted his head and asked again.
“Did Seoyoon-nim run the academy?”
“Do you know me?”
“Is there anyone in Korea who doesn’t know the swordsman’s granddaughter?”
Of course, few people knew the name, but few people did not know that it existed.
and.
“Ah...”
Seo-yoon let out a small exclamation at Seo-joon\'s answer.
As expected, this man knows the Sword Master.
Seoyoon opened her mouth again.
“yes. There are no students, but...the academy is registered.”
“Are you saying that I want to go to that academy?”
Seoyoon nodded softly.
“I don’t like it.”
Seojun coldly turned his back.
And Seo-joon leaves as if he has nothing to see anymore.
“for a moment! Wait!”
Seoyoon caught on to Seojun once again.
“Can I know the reason why?”
“It seems that Seoyoon-nim herself said that just now.”
At Seo-jun\'s words, Seo-yoon repeated what she had just said.
No students at all. Academy for registration only.
Seoyoon blushed slightly and said.
“I still have everything! The facilities are fine and there are no instructors yet, but I...”
“Above all, I don\'t need the teaching of the academy.”
Seo-joon turned his back and moved on.
And Seo-yoon felt that Seo-joon was so savage, so she shouted in anger.
“What if my grandfather would teach me?”
“No work.”
Holy shit.
It seemed like he had heard a tremendous answer, but Seoyoon had no time to pay attention to it.
“take notes! What about the written exam!”
Then, Seo-joon\'s footsteps stopped abruptly.
Seoyoon continued to say that she wanted to be at this time.
“You know you can’t become a pro hunter if you fail the written test!”
There were several subjects in the Pro Hunter exam.
Among them, there was also a written test, which mainly asked questions about knowledge and understanding of monsters.
Of course, it was reflected in the test score, and if the score did not exceed the standard, you could not become a pro hunter even if you received perfect scores in other subjects.
Therefore, there were instructors at Hunter Academy who specialized in teaching only written exams.
And, unfortunately, there were no instructors at the Transcendentalist Academy to teach such things.
“That alone is enough.”
But it wasn\'t too difficult.
After all, professional hunters were talking about their skills.
“profit!”
Seoyoon spat out the words as soon as possible.
“What are you going to do with the raid! Looking at it today, I think you can do a dungeon raid right away, but you know you can\'t do a raid if you don\'t belong to the academy! Aren\'t you worth it?”
“Isn’t that the same even if you enter Seoyoon-nim’s academy? Temporary licenses can only be issued by government-approved academies.”
“I got the recognition right away! If you come to my academy, I will help you raid right away!”
Seojun\'s steps slowed slightly.
And Seoyoon continued talking as if she had noticed that.
“And you said you don’t need the Academy’s teaching, right? great. I won\'t touch you at all. We will also provide a separate space for training!”
A word from Seoyoon that followed.
“I will not ask for any money, including tuition!”
That one word was enough to turn back Seo-jun\'s steps.
“Are you saying that I should just belong?”
“...”
Seoyoon didn’t say anything, so it was a sufficient answer.
Looking at the proposal alone, it was a very good proposal.
An attractive proposal that can solve the things that Seo-joon is worried about at once.
But with benefits, there are also responsibilities.
“With that, what do I have to do to Seoyoon-nim?”
“All you have to do is participate in various external activities under my academy name before the pro hunter exam and tell me that you are going to my academy somewhere.”
However, the duty was not too difficult compared to the benefits received.
“Why are you trying to catch me like this?”
So Seo-jun had no choice but to doubt Seo-yoon.
“Because I saw the potential!”
“Is it because of that today?”
Seoyoon nodded quickly.
“Do you think I\'m worth that much investment?”
“That\'s...”
Seoyoon couldn\'t bear to speak.
In fact, it was because Seoyoon did not know the reason.
What happened today wasn\'t easy, but it wasn\'t to the extent of doing it this far.
But for some reason, Seoyoon seemed to have to catch this man.
It seemed that this man could help him take the first step towards realizing his dream.
it just feels that way
That was the only thing Seoyoon could explain.
‘I don\'t think he knows something...\'
On the contrary, Seo-jun tried to figure out Seo-yoon\'s intentions.
However, he quickly brushed it off after realizing that it was meaningless.
In the first place, what the hell was the swordsman\'s granddaughter missing?
Seo-jun looked into Seo-yoon\'s eyes.
Eyes that looked like they had been pulled out of obsidian.
It blends well with Seoyoon\'s unique atmosphere and is truly beautiful. Seojun suddenly thought.
But before that, Seo-joon could see a certain will in his eyes.
And in that pupil, Seo-joon could see a single person who had been struggling for the past 9 years.
Successful people have a special reason.
But just because you\'re not successful doesn\'t mean your life isn\'t worthwhile.
Running towards your dream was worth it just for that.
At least Seojun thinks so.
Anyway, there was a lot of time left until the pro hunter test. Until then, I thought that it would not be bad for Seo-joon to grow while receiving support.
No, it was something I hadn\'t hoped for.
In a way, they are using each other.
However, in that gap, they can become a kind of will to each other.
Seo-jun approached Seo-yoon. And he held out his hand.
“I’m Seojun Kim.”
Seoyoon gently lifted her head and looked at Seojun.
And with a wide smile, he took Seo-joon\'s hand.
“I’m Park Seo-yoon.”
Park Seo-yoon dreams of becoming the world\'s best hunter academy.
Kim Seo-jun dreams of becoming the world\'s best hunter.
This is how the two met with the same yet different dreams.
Seojun and Seoyoon entered a nearby cafe and talked in detail.
And only then did Seo-jun hear the name of the academy he would belong to.
“Dream Academy?”
“yes. Have you ever heard of it?”
Seoyoon\'s expression of great anticipation. However, Seojun shook his head.
And if Seojun hadn\'t heard of it, it was time to finish talking.
Seeing Seo-yoon\'s sullen appearance immediately, Seo-joon smiled inwardly and said.
“When can I get a temporary license issued?”
That would be the case, and what Seo-joon needed the most was money.
There is still a free pass period left, but when that period ends, you have to purchase the free pass again or take individual lectures.
I needed money to continue attending lectures. A lot of it too.
And training weapons sold at Transcendent Academy.
I doubted if it was really ‘training\', but I needed money to buy it.
Above all, it was most efficient to raise the progress of lectures in practice.
Raid is the one that can solve all of those things at once.
However, the temporary license was not something that could be issued at once, so Seo-joon had to adjust his schedule according to that period.
however.
“All it takes is one day. I\'ll take care of it today, so come to our academy tomorrow and I\'ll give it to you right away.”
Seoyoon nodded nonchalantly, saying that it could be done in a day.
Seo-joon was a little ridiculous. And when I thought about it, this dream academy itself was strange.
It is an academy with no students, but the government has approved it.
And the issuance of a temporary license in one day.
‘Is the breath of the swordsman coming in without knowing it?\'
So Joon concluded.
“Then, I’ll head to the academy right away tomorrow.”
Either way, there was nothing bad about Seo-joon.
And as long as the most important temporary license issue was resolved at once, Seo-jun had nothing to wish for right now.
It was then that they exchanged numbers and were about to get up.
“Hey… thank you.”
Suddenly, Seoyoon bowed her head to Seojun. Seojun asked with a puzzled expression.
“Are you referring to enrolling in the academy?”
“no. what happened today Oh, and thank you for that too.”
Seo-joon repeated Seo-yoon\'s words for a moment.
And after a while, he was able to understand Seoyoon\'s words.
“Actually, that Manticore is a monster I raided. By the way...”
So even though Seoyoon didn\'t come to an end, Seojun could understand it.
The monster Seoyoon raided was still alive.
If Seo-jun hadn\'t stepped in at that time, many people would have been injured and died.
Although it was not intentional, Seoyoon couldn\'t shake off the guilt that she died because of her.
However, that did not happen because of Seo-jun, and Seo-yoon must be very grateful for that fact.
Seojun didn\'t say anything, just smiled.
The swordsman\'s granddaughter, who also notices the association, is grateful to him.
Seojun felt strange.
Then all of a sudden
“If you are grateful, can I ask you a favor?”
Seojun came up with a pretty interesting idea.
“Please?”
Seoyoon tilted her head and asked again.
Seojun smiled and said.
“Go to our company and say a word. It\'s nothing else, I don\'t like the work the foreman is doing, so I won\'t be able to entrust him with the work in the future. You can say something like this.
“...?”
Seoyoon tilted her head as if she couldn\'t understand Seojun\'s words.
“Then please.”
However, Seo-joon already felt relieved.
