Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Chapter 28.1 - Good natured

After I returned to the academy, the time was already reaching the nighttime almost. I wanted to rest, but the leave I got was only for a day, so I didn't have the time to do so.

In fact, I was not expecting this dungeon to take that huge amount of time, so this could be seen as unpreparedness.

In any case, the moment I reached my room, I immediately went to rest for a little while to get rid of this feeling of nausea.

After that, I woke up very early and started training to fill my empty time with training.

Since I was getting quite a lot of hostility from the people whenever they were present, and they were blatantly trying to make it hard for me, this was actually a good schedule.

After all, most students would be sleeping around 3 AM…..Especially those with little jobs putting their noses into other people's affairs.

My training went on until I got a message from the History and Art Club.

---------------------------------------

Subject: Club Meeting

Since the academy had postponed the classes this time, we decided to conduct this week's meeting on the weekdays.

The decided time is Thursday at 1 p.m.

Please contact me if you have anything clashing with the meeting at that time. We will try to adjust accordingly.

Your President, Maya

---------------------------------------

It was a message befitting of Senior Maya's character, and this act was something I respected about her.

She was diligent and organized, ensuring that the club's affairs ran smoothly even though she was a weird type of character who liked to babble about snacks quite a lot of times.

I replied simply, saying I would be able to join the meeting.

The meeting wouldn't be canceled in the game, and this would also be one of the times when the player would start observing the progress of Sylvie's quest.

'Mason will try to raise his favorability.'

Since the eyes are on demon followers, they can't make direct attempts on Sylvie for the time being; thus, they are trying to play it safe.

After that, as I continued my daily routine, the sun slowly approached the ground.

'125.'

THUD!

As I jumped down from the rope I had been climbing, I looked at my drenched body with sweat.

I had been training my body strength for the whole day, and now the fatigue was starting to kick in.

After taking a quick shower, I headed to the academy's cafeteria, my stomach grumbling in hunger after an intense training session.

As I entered, the usual buzz of students greeted me, though something was a little different.

I made my way to the food counter, ignoring the sidelong glances and hushed conversations that seemed to follow me.

A group of students, engrossed in their own conversation, suddenly fell silent as I passed by. Their eyes bore into me, filled with a mix of curiosity and disdain.

"Isn't that him?" I heard one of them whisper.

"Yeah, the one they say assaulted quite a number of women," another responded, not bothering to lower their voice.

Though, at this point, these types of acts became natural. In fact, since someone was purposefully instigating things like that to happen, I was already prepared for even second, maybe third years to know about this.

'And, this didn't disappoint me. Whoever this is, they can even influence seniors.'

This meant the said person was highly likely also belonged to senior year.

A senior influencing a freshman was a lot easier than a freshman influencing a senior.

In any case, as I sat at my table and started munching my food, I spotted someone I knew.

Yellow silky hair and a smile that makes me uncomfortable, reminding her.

Sylvie and her friends entered the cafeteria. They were chatting animatedly amongst themselves, seemingly caught up in their own conversations.

The two people besides were all people I was familiar with in the game. One of them was a good girl who wanted nothing but the best for her friend.

But the other one was not like that.

'Danielle.'

She was a girl whose true intentions never matched her face at all. After all, she had already made a contract with a demon way before the academy even started.

Her past was briefly mentioned, but it was easy to say that she was jealous of Sylvie. Not specifically Sylvie, but girls with beautiful figures and good talents.

She was also linked to the approaching incident that was about to start happening in two weeks.

'The disappearance of female cadets.'

She would be the main culprit of this incident, and this would also mark the start of the countless demon-related incidents inside the academy since, with this, the academy would start conducting more thorough tests related to demonic energy, and this would force the hands of the demons a lot more.

*****

As the three sat at their table, they immediately started talking.

Sylvie, the more innocent and reserved among her friends, just started munching her food as her companions animatedly discussed the latest romantic gossip circulating around the academy.

"Have you heard about Professor Alaric and Professor Lorraine? I swear, the chemistry between them is undeniable," one of her friends exclaimed, leaning in with excitement.

Sylvie widened her eyes in surprise. "Oh, really? I had no idea." She replied like that, but in fact, she didn't have any interest in such gossip at all.

She didn't like the idea of continuously discussing other people's love affairs.

"Absolutely! They were seen together at the Red Phoenix Inn last weekend. It's practically a date!" another friend chimed in, delighted to share the scoop.

"Wow, I had no clue," Sylvie replied, trying to keep up with the intrigue.

"And what about Thomas and Lily? It seems like they had a massive argument in the library," a different friend added, intrigued by the drama.
