“yes?”

The half-dresser opened her eyes wide.

“I didn’t… I didn’t hear well.”

Moo-hyun Jun raised his hand again, and a murmur spread from all around.

Even Kang Joo-hyuk frowned as if he doubted his ears.

The female students from classes 5 and 10 who had just gotten good grades in making potions also looked embarrassed.

Maeng Do-sol began his explanation by flipping through the PPT slides.

“Up until now, this was a class for venom specialists, but from now on, it’s a class for hunters. Poison has always been a high cause of death for hunters. Most plant-based beasts have poison. Bullet wasps, five-tailed scorpions, and sucker-ringed octopuses go without saying.”

His explanation was still fluent, but the students were silent for a different reason than before.

“There are two types of poisons: organic and inorganic. The former include hemorrhagic poisons that coagulate or keep the blood flowing, and neurotoxins that paralyze muscles. The latter include arsenic, cadmium, and radioactivity. The latter require slightly different methods of dealing with, but you can build up a tolerance to the former. I’ll get started right away, so follow along.”

He smiled sadistically, and the students cringed.

“You don’t need to memorize anything in this class. All you need to do is take antibodies and poison. If you develop talent in venom as a supernatural ability, you will be able to control poison with your breath or blood. You are not ordinary humans, but awakened beings. Do not fear the unknown.”

Sega was so dumbfounded that he just laughed in vain.

‘Yes. This is a place that has kept the secret of stimulants hidden for 18 years, and sends students out to hunt demons just 3 weeks after they enroll. I guess I’m a fool for trusting the professors of this school.’

The surrounding students all exclaimed in admiration when they saw that sight.

“Three are laughing.”

“I guess he’s not scared.”

“Does that level of courage have to be there to get an S-class aptitude score? Did having an S-class aptitude score give you that kind of courage? Either way, you’re amazing.”

Sega just blinked, feeling like shouting that that wasn’t the case.

‘I’m scared too, you safety-desensitized patients.’

Maeng Do-sol showed pictures of medicines on PPT.

“Okay. From now on, you will first eat the antibodies shown here, and then after 5 minutes, you will eat the poison of the same color. If you eat the poison first, you may really die, so if you are not sure, ask questions right away.”

The teaching assistants gathered around the students, who shut their eyes tightly.

“Ugh.”

“Ah. It hurts.”

“Are you crazy? Don’t you let go? I’ll break your wrist!”

Kyeom shivered and foamed at the mouth.

Jinrim gritted his teeth and adjusted his sunglasses.

Dahyun used her telekinesis to stop the teaching assistants from pouring poison on her.

thud!

A student far away collapsed on his desk after taking the antibodies and poison in the opposite order.

“This is crazy!”

“This is a violation of human rights!”

“The professor catches people!”

Students everywhere jumped up from their seats, but the psychic assistant lifted them all into the air and sent them back to their desks.

Sega sighed deeply and looked at the blue pill inside the small envelope that said “antibody.”

‘Yeah. I know. I guess this is all for our good. It’s also true that poison is dangerous.’

There were always fewer police officers in the slums.

When a small demon came down from the mountain, adult vigilantes with guns ran to catch it.

It usually ended with a few people getting hurt and one or two people dying.

Then one day, a small demon that sprayed poisonous spores came down.

At that time, all the adults who had taken up arms were wiped out, and hundreds of people who were downwind were poisoned and suffered serious aftereffects.

Professor Kang Chae-seo of the Kang Tae-sul class also spoke about the dangers of bullet wasps and venom.

“Shit.”

Sega popped the antibody pill into his mouth.

After my body warmed up and cooled down for five minutes, I took a poison pill of the same color.

Gulp.

And I swallowed it without hesitation.

Immediately my esophagus spasmed and rebelled.

It seemed to say, “What the heck? Why are you eating this? I’ll send it back right away.”

But Sega tipped the bottle and pushed the poison pill into his esophagus.

“Ugh!”

A feeling of fever, weakness and abdominal pain came over him, and his whole body felt itchy and tingly.

I wanted to roll on the floor and scratch my body right now.

But Sega gritted his teeth and endured it.

Five minutes passed, which felt like an hour.

The pain has subsided significantly.

I took a second blue poison pill just to be sure, and it was almost as good.

It meant that the antibodies were created properly.

“You can eat up to three different antibodies and toxins at once. After you eat them all, you can leave after checking, so eat comfortably.”

Inside the cardboard box were a total of 10 antibody pills and 20 poison pills.

Sega smiled bitterly and picked up three antibody pills.

‘It’s better to get hit first.’

Iljinrim let out a gasp when he saw that sight.

“You. You’re a man.”

“Do you think you’ll lose?”

Kang Joo-hyuk picked up three identical antibody pills.

* * *

Students from classes 1, 5, and 10 all left the poisoning classroom, making death sounds.

“Ugh, ugh. Ugh, ugh.”

“You crazy things. Don’t look this way! I’ll pop your eyes out!”

Kyeom walked out staggering like a zombie.

Dahyun ran across the campus in the evening, covering the bumps on her face.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been this sick.”

Jinrim’s voice also had no strength at all.

Sega asked, gasping for breath.

“What do you all do now? I’m going out for dinner.”

Kyeom and Dahyun shook their heads at the same time.

“Ugh… … Just imagining what to eat makes me feel sick. I’ll go up to the dorm right away.”

“I hate to show my weakness in front of you corpses, but unlike you guys, I’m not a bodyguard. I’ll go in too.”

“Then together-.”

“go away.”

Before Kyeom could finish speaking, Dahyun used telekinesis and flew into the night sky.

“How rough.”

Kyeom grumbled and Sega shook his head.

“You looked like you were having a hard time after taking the paralyzing poison earlier. I’m dying, so how much worse must it be for him.”

“That’s right, my lady. Then I’ll go in first. Is it because the upper body doesn’t work well with the Rigid Body Technique? This is driving me crazy.”

Kyeom walked towards the dormitory with a gait that seemed as if he might collapse at any moment.

Sega was seriously contemplating whether he should help her up, when he felt Jinrim grab his wrist.

“Jinrim?”

“Let’s go eat. If more kids show up, we’ll have to wait in line.”

“hungry?”

“We need to eat quickly, so let’s go to the store and buy some bullets and a grenade launcher.”

The two went to a restaurant and finished their meal without knowing whether the food was going into their mouths or their noses.

Maybe it was because the poison still lingered, but my tongue felt numb every time I ate something.

Sega was amazed to see Jinrim enjoying her meal so nonchalantly.

“That’s amazing.”

“Even if you praise me, nothing comes out.”

“I’m not asking for anything in return for my compliments. I’m just curious and jealous.”

“I’m a blood magician. Blood magic and poison magic have a lot in common, so I can endure it.”

Jinrim finished explaining in a low voice.

Sega remembered what she had said earlier, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been this sick,” but he didn’t bother asking what she meant.

‘Everyone has secrets.’

After eating, the two headed to the store.

Because it was quite late, there was no sign of life.

“This is my first time here.”

“Me too, it’s my first time.”

The store was located on the border between the first-year and second-year living areas, and it looked larger than the gymnasium where we had our physical education classes.

‘You call this a store?’

It was reminiscent of a large logistics center.

Knock knock.

The store was filled with all sorts of things, from snacks to rocket launchers.

A 500 won hard ice cream, a 5 million won T-blade, and a 50 billion won reflective force field were all in the same building.

“The potion is over here.”

“It’s definitely expensive. I think it would be better to tell Dahyun to use what she made.”

“Me too, I’ll learn recovery techniques properly in tomorrow’s bloodletting class.”

On one side of the display case were rows of high, medium, and low level recovery potions.

Sega read the price list.

‘High-level recovery potion. Purchase price per bottle is 20 million won. Selling price is 30 million won? This is crazy. Even if you buy just one bottle, you’ll exceed the performance evaluation budget by 300%.’

I think I know why the Blood Mage is so good.

“Okay. Just buy some bullets and a grenade launcher for you to use.”

“I don’t want to see the Teeth Blade, do I? I have a swordsmanship class tomorrow.”

“I saw the notice earlier, and they said to just come on the first day. They said not to buy anything expensive until they’ve confirmed your talent.”

“Good.”

The two headed to the gun display and looked at various large-scale weapons.

“Oh, it’s a Javelin. It’s cool.”

Jinrim took off his sunglasses for a rare moment and looked at the missile that looked like a rocket launcher.

Her eyes sparkled as if she was looking at a luxury item.

“How much is that?”

“A price of 130 million won per foot. But the price of the demons you can catch with that is mostly less than 80 million won.”

“It’s a deficit missile.”

“yes.”

She put her sunglasses back on with a wistful expression.

Sega bought the armor-piercing bullets that go into the KH2 submachine gun, and Jinlim also picked up the same.

Sega gave Jinrim a questioning look, and Jinrim smiled.

“The submachine gun uses pistol bullets.”

“I didn’t know.”

At that point, Sega mentally adjusted his evaluation of Jinrim a little.

‘At first I thought he was a bad guy, but it turns out he was just being himself.’

As if it was scary to think that way, Jinrim looked around and then said.

“There’s almost no CCTV. If we look for another entrance, we might be able to get out with a Javelin.”

“no!”

* * *

He headed to the checkout counter carrying a small grenade launcher that could be attached to a machine gun.

It was empty, as if the staff had left their seats.

“Let’s look for another entrance.”

“If you wait a bit, he will come.”

But even after waiting for 10 minutes and then 20 minutes, the store employee never showed up.

Sega frowned and looked around.

‘It takes too long to go to the bathroom.’

Behind me, I could see a warehouse door slightly open with a sign that said ‘No Entry for Authorized Personnel’.

“I’ll go for a bit. You might have forgotten we came in while you were organizing something.”

“okay.”

I went near the warehouse and opened the door slightly.

I could see countless cardboard boxes stacked one on top of the other in a huge metal-framed display case.

Someone was collapsed in one of the hallways between the display cases.

“!”

He was a store clerk.

Sega was about to reflexively jump in, but then he remembered what he had heard on the day of the entrance ceremony.

‘They said that all the faculty and staff at Shinseoul are Awakened. I don’t know if the store staff are official faculty and staff, but the person who manages the station master worth hundreds of billions of won and the missiles that can destroy tanks wouldn’t be unawakened.’

There was no way the Awakened One would suddenly collapse.

It wasn’t even that a large object fell from above and hit him on the head.

Saaaa.

For a moment, goosebumps ran down Sega’s body.

‘Who knocked him out?’

At that moment, a noise was heard from inside the store.

“… … !”

Boom! Boom!

My heart was pounding and my throat was parched.

Sega opened the door very, very slowly, and entered the dark warehouse while lowering his posture.

The first floor of the huge metal frame display case was so full of items that I could hide my figure by just lowering my body a little.

Their voices were gradually becoming clearer.

“… … Joo Da-hyun is already caught. She won’t be able to do anything. And if we just find the evidence today, we can blow up Geum Eun-yo as well. Then, Shin Seoul will also suffer a big blow.”

“It’s still too early to feel relieved. Today in class 1, Jeong Se-ga and Joo Da-hyun were in the same group.”

“That’s a good thing for us. Jeong Se-ga is someone who has no connection to the hunter industry. Is this the second day? She must be really flustered as she gets to know Shinseoul. In that situation, bringing that girl in as a member of the team must be a new beginning for the dark side of this school.”

As soon as Sega heard Dahyun’s name, he listened.

‘Joo Da-hyun? You caught her? You’re looking for evidence and blowing up Geum Eun-yo? What are you talking about?’

I lowered my body slightly and looked at them on the other side through the gap between the large boxes.

“… … .”

At that time, they all kept their mouths shut.

The moment Sega brought his eyes into the gap.

“who is this?”

They too looked at the gap from the other side.
