I Obtained a Mythic Chapter 45: First Class (3)

Chapter 45: First Class (3)

Chapter 45

First Class (3)

The face watching the three from a few ters away crumpled into a frown.

It was Lee SooHyuk, the cadet who had reached Mana Room Level 8 along with Kim YooJung.

Right now, he was focused not on the score hed received but on sothing else.

Min JaeHyun

the exalted guy who reached Level 10 as a re freshman.

That bastard How did he reach Level 10?

Mana Room Level 10 was a place where even the instructors had to focus on regulating their breathing.

But to return from such a place without a hint of sweat?

Lee SooHyuk thought for a mont, reached his own conclusion, and nodded his head.

He obviously used an expensive custom item in secret.

Albeit very rare, there were items that could help users gain so resistance to mana addiction.

For example, if one entered a dungeon with equipnt items like

Unicorn Horn

or

Cloth of Light , it was possible for them to move naturally within the concentrated mana.

Although this was a thod used by Warriors since they were weak against mana, there were those even among Magicians who werent familiar with the use of mana or were new to dungeons who used such equipnt to heighten their chances of survival.

Thats right If he werent overgeared, how would an insignificant guy reach Level 10? When even that Seo Ina only managed Level 9.

Seo Ina

the biggest star amongst the Magic cadets this year, with excellent talent in magic.

He didn't want to admit it, but Seo Ina was several tis stronger than him at the mont. With an evolving Unique Skill like

Falchion of Alfheim , her mana capacity and aptitude were all better than his own.

Thus, Lee SooHyuk acknowledged her as the best and considered himself second.

But a mont ago, hed scored a re third place.

Its already annoying enough that I got the sa score as that Kim YooJung, but so nobody snatched first place on top of that

He couldnt help but be annoyed.

A familiar voice suddenly rang from behind him.

What are you thinking so deeply about?

SooHyuk turned around to the sight of a familiar face.

It was Kim Minsu, Lee SooHyuks childhood friend.

Kim Minsu, who always took good care of his violent friend, looked at the direction SooHyuk was staring in for a mont, then spoke while putting his hands in his pockets.

I was wondering who you were staring at. So it was Min JaeHyun.

Min JaeHyun?

Lee SooHyuk tilted his head as he asked. Minsu replied with a surprised look.

Didnt you watch the recording of the Freshn Hunt? You dont know Min JaeHyun? Hes the crazy bastard who got first place in the event and broke the academys record!

What? Thats the guy?

When SooHyuk asked back with wide eyes, Minsu let out a sigh and wrapped his arm around his shoulder.

Theres a TV in the cadet dormitory, too. Use it. Figuring out the strengths of the other cadets is one of the things we should do at the academy.

Lee SooHyuk fell into deep thought without replying.

Of course, hed heard that a Magic cadet got first place in the Freshn Hunt.

But Lee SooHyuk was the hard-headed type who only believed what he saw with his own eyes, so he hadnt planned to look into the Magician who got first place.

He furrowed his brow slightly as he mumbled.

I should confirm whether hes really skilled.

Ugh, why do you have to confirm it again? Just mind your own business. Even youre no match for him. Do you think it makes sense to be looking for a fight against soone who got first place at Millaes Academy?

I wont know if I dont try.

Lee SooHyuks eyes were filled with competitive spirit. Kim Minsu shook his head in annoyance.

Now that its reached this point, he wont listen no matter what I say.

SooHyuk had always been like that.

He always had to be the best, and he never listened to what anyone said.

He already felt pretty inferior comparing himself with Seo Ina, but now that Min JaeHyun has suddenly appeared

SooHyuk was probably going to find so absurd reason to fight with JaeHyun. Minsu had watched him do similar things in the past. Fortunately, SooHyuk won most of the ti.

However

This ti, I dont think he can win no matter what he does

The other day, Kim Minsu had watched a video of the Freshn Hunt that was edited to focus only on Min JaeHyun.

It showed how JaeHyun had easily eliminated the senior cadet Shin JunSang and used Paralysis Mushrooms to kite seniors.

As much of a genius Lee SooHyuk was, Kim Minsu didnt think that he would hold up against JaeHyun.

Phew Why did I have to beco friends with a guy like this

Minsu sighed deeply and glowered at Lee SooHyuk.

Damn chuuni

T/N: Short for Chuunibyou, it is an often-derisive Japanese slang term for the embarrassing behavior of 13-to-14-year-olds. The term literally ans "Middle [School] 2[nd Year] Syndro" (often translated as "Eighth-Grader Syndro" in US dia).

What? What did you just say?

Nothing. I didnt say anything.

Minsu responded unabashed. Lee SooHyuk narrowed his eyes but didnt say anything else.

Kim JiYeon eyed the clock and proclaid.

Okay, well end our first class here. Everyone did a good job today. We will be having a theory class next week, so make sure to bring your books! Dismissed!

Hey?! Min JaeHyun! Stop right there!!

The mont Kim JiYeon had finished speaking, Min JaeHyun could be seen running toward the sports field with Kim YooJung howling as she chased after him.

It was a hard-to-see sight in Millaes Academy which was famous for its strict discipline.

The cadets watched the two and burst out laughing.

***

***

JaeHyun, who had finished his first class with ease, headed to the security office on the second floor of Yeonhwa Guild Headquarters at Guildmaster Yoo Sung-Euns summons. Yoo Sung-Eun, Park SungJae, and an unfamiliar woman were already there drinking coffee.

Huh? She looks familiar

He was sure this was their first ti eting one another, but sothing about her appearance and aura was familiar.

Almost as if it reminded him of soone

Sung-Eun took a sip of her coffee before she saw JaeHyuns face and her face lit up.

Oh, JaeHyun, youre here.

Yes. Have you been well? But more importantly, this is the first ti Ive seen this person

May I ask who this is?

At JaeHyuns question, Yoo Sung-Eun placed her hand on the womans shoulder and smiled.

Ah~ This is our Yeonhwa Guilds top scout. Her na is Park Hana.

Hello. I am Park Hana. Youre Min JaeHyun, arent you? Ive heard a lot about you.

Ah, yes.

Park Hana gave JaeHyun her business card right away and spoke formally.

Shes rather prim.

Her stiffness made him a bit uncomfortable, but he shook her hand and sat down.

JaeHyun started trying to figure out what kind of person the Park Hana sitting in front of him was.

With round glasses and a bob arranged primly,

she wore a black skirt, that stopped exactly 5cm above the knees as if it had been asured with a ruler, and a white blouse.

He didnt know her much, but he felt that she would be a tireso colleague to have.

Just then, Park SungJae saw the look on JaeHyuns face and laughed heartily.

She seems pretty ticulous and soone tireso to work with, doesnt she?

Heok! What?!

JaeHyun was shocked and wondered whether SungJae had let his thoughts slip out.

Becoming flustered, he glanced at Yoo Sung-Eun while waving his hands with an expression that seed to ask, why is that person being like this out of nowhere?

So Sung-Eun lightly pinched Park Hanas face with a bright smile.

Actually, Park SungJae and Park Hana are siblings.

Oh, guildmaster! Dont play around! Were in the middle of work.

Oh, right.

Feeling like hed been tricked, JaeHyun started to beco slightly annoyed and listless.

Now its starting to make so sense. I an, Manager Park SungJae isnt soone who would act so rudely to soone.

Although he was very flustered when he first t JaeHyun, that was because it was related to Guildmaster Yoo Sung-Euns illness. In other situations, never mind anger, he almost seed emotionless. That was the person Park SungJae was.

Of course, there was also that ti at the raider departnt store when he ran away because he was tired of all the shopping.

After thinking for a mont, JaeHyun looked back-and-forth between Yoo Sung-Eun, Park SungJae and Park Hana before speaking.

You called

here because you wanted to hear about what happened at the Freshn Hunt, right?

Of course! I really wanted to see it in person, but Millaes Academy said that the recording broadcast would be delayed by a week due to an error. And you didnt even send a ssage. I thought the curiosity would drive

insane.

The distribution of the recordings being delayed was to be expected.

Gu Ja-In had made JaeHyun fight against Ahn HoYeon in the Freshn Hunt. In the process of doing so, he used his Unique Skill Indoctrination.

If he had released the recording of the Freshn Hunt without enough editing, there was the risk that soone would figure out that he had ddled in the event.

Thus, he covered it up by stating so error had occurred.

JaeHyun scratched his head. He was going to contact Yoo Sung-Eun, but things had been so hectic that he completely forgot.

Im sorry.

Its alright. Its more interesting to hear it in person anyway.

Sung-Eun replied with no hard feelings visible. JaeHyun took a deep breath, then looked at her with a bright smile.

You probably already expected it, but I got first place.

Ooh! As expected, you did great!

Park SungJae gleefully interrupted. He praised JaeHyun genuinely.

Yoo Sung-Eun also nodded her head as she replied.

Congratulations. You took the best first-step in Millaes Academy, which is known for being hard to survive. As your teacher, Im proud of you.

Thats a relief. I actually was worried that you would scold

if I got second place or sothing.

At JaeHyuns jestering deanor, Park Hana started to relax.

At first, she couldnt understand how such a feeble guy had gotten the First Priority contract with the Yeonhwa Guild. But seeing how relaxed and eloquent he was, she was able to sowhat understand.

Hana smiled slightly and passed a black tablet to JaeHyun.

Taking it, JaeHyun narrowed his eyes and asked.

What is this?

It looks like the Millaes Academys cadet profiles.

We have a favor to ask of you.

A favor?

JaeHyun tilted his head in confusion.

Park Hana nodded as she continued.

We would like to know who among these cadets would be worth recruiting into our Yeonhwa Guild.

The list contained 50 cadets with high aptitude scores.

A smile spread on JaeHyuns face.

So they want to use

as a scout, huh?

Well, telling you that much isnt anything difficult.

It really wasnt. But there was no reason he had to do so without any benefits in return.

Even if Yoo Sung-Eun had taught him magic and they now knew each other well, there was no obligation for JaeHyun to do scouting work for Yeonhwa.

What will the Yeonhwa Guild provide ?

At his words, a smile slowly started to spread on Yoo Sung-Euns face.

As expected of my student. Youre easy to talk with.

Thank you.

JaeHyun shrugged. If there was any benefit to be had, he would take it before moving on to the next step.

This was one of the ironclad rules for surviving as a raider,

and JaeHyun planned to make good use of it.
