Joo Da-hyun walked along the street and sat down in front of Lee Gyeom and Il Jin-rim.

The students paused for a moment to glance at the net.

“This is crazy. How do you win against that?”

“In the vanguard is the future S-class body magician, Jeong Se-ga. In charge of rear firepower is the telekinesis magician, Joo Da-hyun, who hails from a wealthy family of magic stones. In support is the blood magician, Il Jin-rim, who has a perfect mobile marksmanship. This guy is also quite an impressive scout.”

“What are you talking about now? Are you already planning a strategy and starting to coordinate your actions?”

Their gazes were filled with fear, envy, and tension.

The net that receives everyone’s attention.

The conversation between those four.

“Who is this scavenger kid opening his eyes wide in front of!”

“Yes, yes, the daughter of the Maseok conglomerate, please open your eyes wide.”

“I told you, he’s the kind of person who would do that.”

It was a mess.

Joo Da-hyun crossed her legs and raised her head in a fresh manner.

“No. Are you saying that I’m in the same group as a scavenger? Sega. It seems like you don’t know much about the hunter industry, but our magic stone conglomerate buys magic stones from hunters, and scavengers receive daily wages from those hunters. It’s called a subcontractor of a subcontractor. But how dare a scavenger raise his head in front of me, a magic stone conglomerate-.”

This man twisted his clenched fists here and there and fired.

“You have been kidnapped, my sensitive lady. If you need a slave to do your chores, look for another group. If you like your family so much, why don’t you stay at your family home instead of coming to Shinseoul and associating with the lower classes like us?”

Iljinrim smiled coldly, hiding his yellow eyes behind his sunglasses.

“I knew this would happen.”

Sega sighed deeply as he looked at the sight.

“under.”

But instead of despairing or screaming, he just shut his eyes tightly and then opened them.

‘Everyone has a strong ego and hates losing. Thanks to that, the atmosphere is not awkward. If I can focus this madness and energy into one point and direct it outward, I might not have to work so hard that my true colors are revealed.’

He looked at Iljinrim, leaving behind Dahyun and Gyeom, who were acting crazy and arguing.

Iljinrim spoke quickly as if he had been waiting for it.

“Joo Da-hyun is in danger.”

“Do you believe that rumor too?”

“It’s about how you deal with rumors.”

Iljinrim answered coolly and stylishly as always.

But even while talking to him, the way he kept an eye on Dahyun made it seem like he was afraid of her.

Sega said, looking straight into the yellow eyes shining beyond his sunglasses.

“You know what I mean. Keep your friends close-.”

“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Of course, you know.”

“Yeah. If Dahyun is really dangerous like you said, wouldn’t it be better for us to join forces? Fighting with Dahyun, or fighting with Dahyun? Which would be more dangerous?”

Iljinrim’s eyes shook greatly.

She frowned for a moment, then nodded.

“That’s right. Fighting with Joo Da-hyun is crazy.”

Sega smiled secretly.

‘Okay. I convinced Iljinrim.’

He stepped between the two who were fighting for a long time and waved his arms.

“Joo Da-hyun.”

“You’re here at the right time. Jeong Se-ga! Listen to me. You, you, you lowly and rude scavenger-.”

“I told you, come to ‘our group’, not ‘my group’.”

“!”

Joo Da-hyun opened her eyes wide as if to ask what the hell she was talking about.

“This guy is a quick and smart scout. In the combined marksmanship class, he scored high enough to not fall far behind you, even when you used telekinesis. It’s important for us to hunt while taking the right position, right? That’s why we have a team.”

“… … .”

“Kyeom seeks, I block, Iljinrim supports, and you strike in one blow. None of us are worthless or useless.”

Sega spoke calmly but firmly.

Kyeom shrugged his shoulders in pride, and Dahyun glared at him with an arrogant expression, her red eyes widening as if she had just cried.

“And humility.”

“Huh, huh?”

“Why are you doing this when you know? Don’t provoke me.”

“… … Okay. Got it.”

The two clearly saw Joo Da-hyun throw two students into the air and slam them to the ground, only to be released without incident.

‘If you have a blister, you should drain it with a needle and thread. There’s no need to cut off a whole chunk of flesh.’

So the commotion came to an end.

* * *

“Okay, okay! Now that we’re in a group that’ll be together for the next year, let’s introduce ourselves. Tell me your name, your hometown, your hobbies, any special personal stories you want to share, and any special skills you have.”

Kyeom instantly regained his composure and gathered everyone’s attention by clapping his hands twice.

“Our group’s ace, please take care of the situation first.”

“Me, me?”

“Wait a minute! Why is he the ace? Of course I’m the ace.”

“… …Honey, introduce yourself?”

Sega is embarrassed.

Dahyun protests.

While Jinrim was embarrassed.

Kyeom continued to look at Sega.

Sega finally opened its mouth.

“Okay. Let me introduce you formally. I’m Jeong Se-ga. I don’t know where I was born, but it was in the metropolitan area, and I grew up… … outside of Sejong City.”

The three of them looked momentarily puzzled when they heard the words, ‘outside of Sejong City.’

He said he was from a poor family in the metropolitan area, so most of them… … .

“It’s not that uncommon in today’s world, but you’re an orphan. Your hobby is training? Your specialty is getting a 78% S-class? Haha. This is my first time experiencing something like this, so I don’t really know what to say.”

“… … .”

“… … ”

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

In these days, orphans were common, so it wasn’t something to hide, but it was another matter to proudly reveal that I was from a poor family in the metropolitan area, which could be called the dirt spoon of dirt spoons.

Kyeom tried to raise his spirits again and looked at Jinrim.

“Then, now it’s time for Iljinrim! Let’s hear the story of the cool beauty marksman!”

Iljinrim smiled coldly and then raised his chin arrogantly.

“Iljinrim. I don’t really have a hometown. Before coming here, I lived in Paju and Ganghwado. Like Sega said, I’m a common orphan in today’s world.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Once again there was silence.

Sega remained silent about the part about being an orphan like himself, while Dahyun and Gyeom, who knew a lot about the hunter industry, trembled at the part about Paju and Ganghwa Island.

‘If he came and went from the border… … He must have been a smuggler. Ha. He looked a bit dangerous.’

‘I heard he’s an incredibly good shooter. I guess I’ll have to watch him for a while.’

Both Paju and Ganghwa Island were areas that could be accessed by land and sea to former North Korean territory.

If a sharpshooter, neither a hunter nor a soldier, lived there, it meant that he had one foot in the sand, either smuggling or crime.

“After taking the stimulant, I awakened as a blood magician. My specialty is shooting.”

Iljinrim suddenly stood up from his seat and, in the blink of an eye, pulled out a German-made KH3 automatic pistol from the holster on his waist and pulled it out.

chuck!

“wow.”

The movements were so fast that even the strongman Jeong Se-ga and Lee Gyeom couldn’t keep up with them.

Jinrim demonstrated by turning the trigger guard around with his finger, changing the magazine, and then putting it back in the holster with one last turn.

Okay.

“and!”

Kyeom and Sega clapped their hands, and Dahyun also smiled as if it was pleasing to the eye.

“Okay. Now, let’s hear the self-introduction of our group’s young lady, Joo Da-hyun Nari.”

As Gyeom spoke with a grin, Dahyun looked at Sega once and answered calmly.

“It’s Joo Da-hyun. As you all know, she’s from Ivory Tower and the daughter of the late Dr. Joo Myung-hwan.”

“… … !”

The moment that name was mentioned, Gyeom and Jinrim flinched, and Dahyun’s eyes distorted again.

“My specialty is telekinesis between people and large areas. My hobby is… … I’m not sure anymore.”

At that time, Kyeom used black humor.

“By any chance, the employees at the department store are kneeling-”

“Shut up! Don’t talk to me personally.”

Dahyun’s telekinesis made me shut my mouth.

After holding his lips for a moment and exerting his strength, Kyeom opened his mouth again.

“Oh my. If I make a mistake twice, my lips will be cut off.”

“Are you really going to cut it?”

Dahyun growled, but her expression relaxed again.

Only then did Kyeom smile cheerfully and begin to introduce himself.

“It’s okay, Miss. Anyway, let me introduce myself. I’m a hunter who will become the best explorer. As you all know, I’m from the Scavenger Guild where our Dahyun Nari treats animals. The Hyena Guild. My father is the guild master there.”

Jinrim raised his eyebrows when he heard the words “Hyena Guild,” and Dahyun also nodded.

“It wasn’t like that, it was just a mess.”

“Hyena? I thought it was the neighborhood punks following the hunter around. But it’s not bad.”

Sega opened his eyes wide, not knowing what it was, and Jinrim looked at him and spoke softly.

“It’s a fairly famous scavenger guild that operates in the Gangwon-do area.”

“What? Hum. Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth?”

At Sega’s question, Kyeom waved his hand madly.

“What about the golden spoon? Don’t say such embarrassing things in front of the real golden spoon. I’m just a scavenger who has found a place among the scavengers and can buy stimulants for my children without a loan.”

“Where is that?”

“They want me to wake up and get to work quickly. That’s why they didn’t really want me to come here. My parents want to raise all my brothers to be scavenger hunters, but I have a dream of becoming the best scavenger and freely roaming the battlefield.”

As he said that, a slightly different, determined smile appeared on his face than usual.

‘They’re all cool.’

Sega said, feeling as if a hole had been drilled through the middle of his chest.

“Yeah, I’m sure that could happen.”

“Of course. I’m a member of the same group as Jeong Se-ga, Il Jin-rim, and Joo Da-hyun!”

Kyeom burst into a satisfied laugh.

“Come to think of it, out of all of us, this kid is the most playful.”

“Shut up! I’m not your bus driver!”

Jinrim laughed as if she was dumbfounded, and Dahyun screamed.

* * *

“It looks like everyone has become close already. It makes me feel good to see everyone laughing together.”

As we were talking for a while, the teaching assistant came over and placed a piece of paper on the table.

“You are in Group 8. Please write the names and characteristics of your group members here.”

“all right.”

“And you must also tell me the team name and team leader.”

Sega stopped pressing the ballpoint pen and looked back at his assistant.

“What is your name and team leader?”

“Yes. It’s not that important, but Professor Leena sometimes calls me by my first name. You still have time, so think about it slowly.”

The assistant returned, and the four made eye contact.

Joo Da-hyun said, lifting her chin.

“I will be the leader.”

“okay.”

Sega wanted to be the center of attention only within the scope he could control, if possible.

Gyeom was too shallow to be the leader of a group that included Segawa, Dahyun, and Jinrim.

Jinrim had no interest in things like the head of the organization.

Besides, Joo Da-hyun was only grateful if he became the successor to the Maseok conglomerate, the strongest psychic in the first year, and the leader.

She used her telekinesis to pick up a ballpoint pen and write her name on a piece of paper.

“Okay. Then what do you want to name Joe?”

“You said it wasn’t that important. Let’s do anything. How about the aces from Shinseoul?”

“Are you okay?”

Jinrim let out a gasp, but Gyeom, in a rare moment, denied Sega’s words.

“No. There’s an unwritten rule that says it has to be made up of ‘two letters that look like something.’”

“what?”

Sega glared, not understanding what that meant.

Jinrim let out a sigh as if he had just remembered, and Dahyun looked at him as if she was saying that it was quite something to know.

“In the past, the reconnaissance teams operated by the first generation of hunters in Gangbuk Shelter all had two letters. They were named to make it look like something, hoping for their survival.”

Kyeom said with a very serious tone.

Sega didn’t understand what that had to do with Joe’s name at the time, but decided to just accept it.

Jinrim said.

“Then, how about a hunter?”

Dahyun made a arrogant face.

“We are not gunmen! Dismissed!”

Kyeom said with a smile.

“Then, let’s do it. Dahyun Yeha is in our group-.”

Dahyun was delighted and was about to write, but Kyeom grabbed the pen in a hurry and stopped her.

“Sega! Say something again!”

Sega said whatever came to mind this time too.

“How’s your career going?”

“good night!”

“Good.”

Jinrim and Gyeom nodded immediately.

Dahyun stopped writing ‘Yeha’ with a regretful expression.
