“I’m sorry. Jeong Se-ga is a student. I heard rumors, but I didn’t know you were a student when I first saw you.”

The assistant’s anger ended with a brief incident.

Sega waved his hand, feeling burdened by the sight of her bowing her head several times.

“But I’m really surprised. I can change that much magical power into electricity even though I’m not an electrician.”

The head assistant selected students from each group who had some talent in electric arts, such as Kang Joo-hyuk and Jeong Se-ga, and began practicing ‘bioelectric amplification’.

“Am I okay?”

“In lightning, talent depends on how much magical power you can convert into electricity. So if you were to ask the question, ‘Is there anything wrong with learning lightning?’, then there is nothing wrong with it.”

Jeong Se-ga breathed a sigh of relief and headed to a new group that included Kang Joo-hyuk and several students from classes 1 and 12.

Seonmi looked at him with eyes filled with envy.

Sega replied with the shape of his mouth, “You too, cheer up.”

The new group’s classes were taught directly by the senior teaching assistant.

“It’s about making your muscles contract strongly and expand strongly with electric current. If you do it wrong, your muscles can completely spread out or you can even get an electric shock, so be careful with the output.”

He showed how he could spread the current gathered in his knuckles throughout his body according to the natural circulation of magic power, and then instantly gather it in his legs, and then jump up greatly with just a little bit of running.

“Unlike the leap in rigid body techniques, it is also possible to move in a right-angled or vertical direction while overcoming inertia. I will tell you in advance that this is difficult. It is important and therefore basic, not easy and therefore basic.”

He drew a long line and placed cones in front of it at 5m intervals.

“At first, you might not be able to jump, fall down, or land awkwardly. It’s okay. Just practice without worrying about what other students think.”

The first one to start practicing was Kang Joo-hyuk.

“Let’s get started.”

He was the only student in the new group who had previously studied at a university.

Crackle! Crackle!

He gathered the current by putting his knuckles on it and then spread it throughout his body.

I crouched down as if I was going to jump, then jumped up in one breath.

Pfft!

“37m!”

The assistant shouted, and admiring looks poured in from all over.

“This is truly amazing.”

“Even if you’ve done a lot of advance learning, that’s still incredible.”

“Let’s do our practice… … Kkaaaak!”

In the newly assembled group, there were many students who were shocked the moment the electricity created by the artifact knuckles spread through their bodies.

Kang Joo-hyuk glanced at Jeong Se-ga and thought.

‘I’m not an electrician either. This is just the result of investing time and effort. Even you would be rolling around on the floor.’

While trying to ignore the fact that I have been naturally conscious of Sega for some time now.

Jeong Se-ga tried to relax his tension, clenched his knuckles, and lightly clenched his fist.

‘Convert magical power into electric current, and spread that electric current through your body along with magical power.’

Crackle! Crackle!

Just like before, a bright blue current ran through the air.

He closed his eyes tightly, preventing any more magical power from flowing in, and very, very slowly drew the electricity gathered in his fist into his body.

‘It’s a similar feeling to telekinesis. Slowly. Slowly. Slower.’

Phage crackle!

The current ran down my limbs.

My heart started beating happily as a tingling pain spread throughout my body.

‘Joo-hyuk lowered his body even further.’

I thought all the current was concentrated in my legs, and the tingling sensation in my legs reached its peak.

‘Now is the time!’

Pfft!

Jeong Se-ga kicked the floor as if he was jumping on a trampoline.

His long body flew high into the air, and after crossing the line, he landed.

“2, 28m!”

The assistant cried out in disbelief.

“I think Sega’s second characteristic is lightning.”

“Can you do that all at once?”

Jinrim, Dahyun, and Gyeom, who were in another group, let out a hollow laugh.

‘What the hell are you? It took me three days to move without falling to the ground.’

Kang Joo-hyuk opened his red eyes wide in shock.

‘You’re really cool.’

While Choi Seon-mi sends a look of admiration.

‘The situation in class 1.’

Je Seo-cheon, the awakened lightning master who had been training with Professor Jang Kwon-se, went to the right and looked at Jeong Se-ga closely.

‘He might come over here any minute. Should we go together then? Or… . . . ‘

“They say that bloodletting is an ability optimized for hunting demons rather than fighting people. Not only humanoids and beastoids, but even tired infected types and damned anomalous types have blood flowing.”

The second class of the day was bloodletting.

“Because you can heal yourself and others, this is the most popular awakening type overseas where potions are not readily available.”

Professor Haejun Sang, wearing a black long coat, looked as much like a vampire as his abilities, but his smile was very bright.

“Blood Martial Arts shines the most when it’s in a support position. It weakens enemies and strengthens allies. Wide field of vision and stable operation are important.”

He gave his students a ring-like artifact that could fit two fingers at the same time, and asked them to wear it with their index and middle fingers together.

The class took place on a shooting range similar to the one used in the mobile marksmanship class.

“If there is a psychokinesis bullet in telekinesis, there is a blood flow bullet in blood magic.”

“Just as each person has a different blood type, there are also different types of blood. There are diffusion types that spread out after impact and tear apart the opponent, disintegration types that cause a rejection reaction in the opponent’s body and cause it to collapse, and penetrating types that move at high speeds.”

“Students with different traits should find their type today and master it until they can use it without this aid, and the Blood Mage students should aim to learn recovery techniques on top of that. The Comprehensive Hunting Studies team members will be praying for you to learn that technique. Hahaha.”

It was harder than I thought for the first day.

There was a look of deep thought on the faces of the students in both classes.

“Then aim, fire!”

The depth melted away like snow when the first group of 30 men fired their blood flow bullets.

Phew!

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Hey, I shot this?”

The blood flow magic bullet was so powerful that it ignited the fighting spirit of all the students.

“This is totally awesome!”

The first one, Gyeom, shouted in the aforementioned voice.

A penetrating bloodshot bullet shot out from his finger, completely piercing the massive target in front of him.

Dahyun, who was also in the first group, frowned as she took the artifact out of her fingers.

“It’s definitely powerful because it uses blood that has the magic power of the body melted into it. But it’s not for me. I don’t want to live with anemia. I don’t see any reason to switch to a blood flow magic bullet when I have a mind magic bullet.”

As she said, the bloodletting technique was a skill that required a lot of stamina.

Dahyun, Sunmi, and several others had their faces turned white in just one step.

Soon the second group finished firing, and the third group stepped forward.

“Aim, fire!”

Paaang!

Thirty drops of blood shot out, causing explosions, melting, and penetration.

However, Sega’s blood did not cause any of the three and just settled quietly on the Styrofoam target.

“What is that?”

“It seems like 78% of people don’t have any talent for blood.”

“Are you being a bit quiet?”

Kang Joo-hyuk’s faction sneered, and Kang Joo-hyuk just frowned without saying anything.

Then Professor Haejun Sang immediately looked at those factions.

“Students. In my class, I would like to see people of the same Awakening helping each other.”

Whether or not, Sega felt dozens of eyes stabbing his back like spears.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

‘I’m screwed. Everyone will start to doubt me. No. I did well in class. Maybe it’s my delusion of persecution. No. I’m screwed. I’m now a public enemy and a criminal of this school.’

At that time, Haejun Sang called him.

“What’s the situation?”

“Yes, yes! I’m listening.”

“Originally, this artifact was supposed to provide assistance regardless of the type.”

“then.”

“You either have no talent for bloodletting or you are a completely new type. Come to the lab later. Let’s check it out together.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Jeong Se-ga sighed in relief and stepped back.

‘I’m going crazy.’

I felt like I had crossed the threshold of the afterlife.

Fortunately for him, it wasn’t Sega who got the most attention in the bloodletting class.

“Ha, hahaha!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A first-class gunfighter and S-class 5% blood magician, Iljinrim was seen literally flying.

“Penetrating expression was successful.”

She manifested a different type than the one she was born with in five times.

“The collapse type has also been successfully manifested!”

In the twelfth, we learned all three types: diffusion, penetration, and collapse.

“Blood to blood!”

At the end of the class, I also performed the blood circulation recovery technique ‘Blood to Fatigue’.

“Come see me anytime, I’ll buy you a plate of blood-dripping steak next time.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to have a Seonjituk?”

“That’s good too. You know a thing or two.”

At the end, I even heard about Professor Haejun Sang inviting me to dinner.

It was a perfect performance that didn’t even make other students jealous.

* * *

“Sega caused a power outage throughout the gym during his lightning class, and Jinrim covered all three types of blood flow magic bullets during her bloodletting class, but our Miss Ju Dahyun didn’t show any signs of improvement in any of her classes. What should we do?”

After dinner, we head to another gym to learn our third class of the day, pyromancy.

Kyeom nagged Dahyun and told her to kill him.

“Corpse Man. I told you not to talk to me. If you don’t keep your mouth shut, I’ll make you look like you need treatment.”

Dahyun opened her eyes, but Kyeom didn’t even blink.

“Then you will have to find the Minotaur without this explorer.”

“Oh, really! Ouch. I’m dizzy.”

Dahyun stomped her feet in anger and stumbled as a side effect of the bloodletting class.

Sega grabbed her shoulder.

“are you okay?”

“Uh, uh. … … Let go!”

Dahyun blushed and nodded blankly, then twisted her body roughly.

Sega blinked, not knowing what to say, while Gyeom and Jinrim snickered.

Swish.

The four entered a gymnasium with large windows and ventilation shafts.

“There are a lot of big names this time.”

Kyeom muttered and Sega asked.

“Big guys?”

“First of all, you and Dahyun, and of course Kang Joo-hyuk.”

“Of course. We’re in the same class, right?”

“This time, I think we’re going to do pyromancy together with Class 11. Look over there.”

He pointed to a female student in a rare, subdued voice.

She was as tall as a model, had short hair cut to match her jawline, and wore a gold star badge on the collar of her school jacket.

Her hair was a fiery red, her large, clear eyes were a yo-yo purple like amethyst, and her overall impression was intense and mysterious.

He spoke in a voice that seemed to be introducing Professor Kyeom.

“Geum-eun-yo-ya. The daughter of the Geumseongje, a wealthy merchant from Maseok.”

“Geumseong Jeomyeon?”

It was a name that even a layman in the hunter industry, Jeong Se-ga, knew.

The head of the Venus Group, who developed transformation technology and saved the world, the director of the Shinseoul Comprehensive Hunting Foundation, which owns the Shinseoul Hunter Academy, and the world’s strongest pyromancer.

But Sega looked at the gold and silver and thought of a slightly different situation.

‘If we can find the evidence today, we can blow away Geum-eum-yo too. Then, Shin-Seoul will also take a big hit.’

It was something I overheard in the store warehouse yesterday.

‘Someone’s after that kid and us. You’d better tell them. If you don’t believe me, then there’s nothing we can do, but if you do, then we’ll have a huge ally.’

As part of the self-rescue plan, it seemed necessary to inform Geum Eun-yo.

Swish.

At that moment, Geum Eun-yo looked at him and waved her hand.

‘Huh? You didn’t do that to me, did you? Come to your senses. You’re being overly self-conscious right now.’

Jeong Se-ga looked around and found someone in Class 1 who might know Geum Eun-yo.

“Crazy. Geum Eun-yo just greeted Jeong Se-ga first.”

“At that level, you must be getting a job as a chaebol.”

However, all the surrounding students stopped looking, and Geum Eun-yo waved her hand once more.

Swish.

“Eek.”

He bent his back so that his head almost touched his shoes.

Sega unconsciously tried to follow the gesture, but forced himself to smile appropriately and wave his hand back.

Then another student shouted.

“The professor is coming in!”
