Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 Chapter 25.4 - Joint Dungeon

"This prejudice of yours…..One day, it may bite; you should be careful."

As Irina heard those words, she couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

'You are just a trash like others.'

Last time, when they finished exploring the labyrinth, Irina understood that she was lacking in terms of party management.

She wasn't suited to be a leader, as Astron showed her the difference between the two.

Even though she knew she was the strongest of the party, there were times when the strength wasn't absolute.

And when she understood that fact, in her heart, she slightly respected him, thinking that he at least deserved to be here.

Even though Astron was annoying and different, she at least started appreciating his different talents.

But all those things crumbled as she entered the school forums. It had already become a habit to check the [ArcadiaSurf] site for her since it was one of the best places to communicate with seniors and learn about the school.

The dungeons, study materials, clubs, assignments…..

The academy life was hard even for a talented mage like her who came from a renowned family.

And thanks to what Julia and Lilia suggested, she started using that site. However, as she was surfing the site, suddenly, she came across something she was least expecting.

<DISGRACE OF ACADEMY'S LAST PLACE>

That was the title of the post. Normally, she wouldn't even bother with reading such a pointless article, but for some reason, the word 'Last Place' took her attention.

It might have been that guy, after all.

And her assumption was correct.

As she started reading the article, her eyes widened since numerous pictures of that guy, the places he had been, and the people he had talked to had leaked.

His bank account details were leaked, and inside there, the places he had visited could be seen. A lot of money coming from unknown sources could be seen there.

However, that wasn't even the end.

Even a testimony of three girls was on the post.

-He didn't even listen to me.

-He just threatened me, saying he could kill me anytime he wanted.

-He said we would date, but then he suddenly forced himself upon me.

Three articles that made her nauseous – all of them were listed on the post.

In fact, when she read the post, she started comparing his attitude from the past to now.

'I see...'

She realized this after looking at the victims' identities. They were simple, normal citizens who had nothing to do with the Hunter industry.

'He acted cold in front of me since he understood he wouldn't be able to lay a hand on me.'

As his attitude came before her eyes, she looked at the girls on the post. They were all young girls who were just in their prime, and now they were crying, looking sullen.

Unintentionally, her blood boiled, seeing how their future was destroyed. One of them quit their school, and the other ones became depressed and locked themselves.

'You trash-like bastard.'

And in the end, she swore to put this guy in his place.

He was a student who was accepted to the academy. Even though the article said he used personal connections, she knew it wasn't that easy to come here.

But even then, instead of training and making himself stronger, this guy was playing around, making other girls' lives hell. Countless people wanted to enter this academy; countless people tried their best….But this guy was doing nothing but wasting his time doing such acts.

That was the reason why she didn't even talk to him at the start; no, that was the reason why she was glaring daggers at him.

Since she knew if she didn't come from a strong lineage, she would also fall prey to his actions.

However, now, before her, stood something different.

The guy she thought wasn't training stood before The Magma Wyrm that was laying defeated.

She saw it. At that exact one second, that guy fired two arrows consecutively, the first one opening the wound and the second one exploding inside.

"What?"

"H-how?"

Erika and Leon just stood there and watched in a daze as the dead body of the monster lay on the ground. The two knew, as the last ranked student of the academy, there was no way that guy would be able to land a hit on the monster, let alone killing it.

Byron, always quick to let his emotions surface, was the first to voice his thoughts, laced with both awe and a hint of resentment. "Astron... what did you just do?" His tone carried a sense of jealousy and anger. "If you could do such a thing, why didn't you do it from the start."

Astron, accustomed to the skepticism, didn't show any signs of surprise.

He glanced at Byron and offered a vague explanation. "Nobody asked."

Rather than explaining, it looked more like a mocking statement, and Byron wasn't the one to take it lightly.

"You bastard, are you mocking me right now?"

He approached him with an angry expression and was about to grab him from his collar.

SWOOSH

But, with a smooth move, Astron just slipped away.

"Watch your actions. And don't talk to me." His purple eyes looked cold, and most importantly, those eyes looked down on him.

Byron's frustration grew, realizing Astron was simply discarding him as a random nobody, and this was what made him angrier.

The fact that the guy before him had the audacity to ignore him while he was the weakest of the academy.

However, before the confrontation could escalate further, Irina intervened, her voice firm and commanding.

"Byron, stop. It's not worth it. We have a mission to complete." Her gaze shifted to Astron, cold and dismissive. "You used explosive arrows, right?"

"I did."

"I won't ask you why you have not told us about those arrows."

"It is good that you know the answer already."
