Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Chapter 35.2 - Short Break

-CHATTER!

The hall echoed with the lively chatter of students, the air filled with the excited hum of conversation.

"Finally, the exams are over."

"Yeah….I thought they were never going to end."

As the clock ticked towards the time of the meeting, the door swung open, and Instructor Eleanor White walked in, her bright yellow hair contrasting with the serious expression on her face.

"Settle down, everyone," she called out, her voice cutting through the noise. The room gradually hushed as all eyes turned towards the instructor.

Eleanor paused, her gaze sweeping across the room before she spoke, "As the first half of the semester comes to an end, I want to commend all of you for your hard work and dedication. You've shown remarkable progress."

A ripple of pride surged through the students, some exchanging smiles and nods.

"However," Eleanor continued, her tone becoming more serious, "we're not done yet. The second half will bring new challenges while being far more difficult than the first one, and I expect nothing less than your best efforts."

The anticipation in the room heightened as she spoke.

"Before we dive into the next phase of your training, there will be a one-week break. Use this time wisely to rest, recharge, and, if needed, reflect on your experiences so far."

A murmur of excitement spread among the students at the prospect of a break.

"You're free to leave the academy during this time. Enjoy your break, but remember, our journey is far from over. Be prepared to return with the same enthusiasm and commitment. Also, your mid-term exam results will be revealed after you return from your short vacation; make sure to follow the announcements."

With those words, Eleanor White concluded her announcement. The students erupted into chatter once again, discussing their plans for the upcoming break and the adventures that awaited them in the second half of the semester.

"Finally, a break! I'm heading home for some good home-cooked meals," one student exclaimed. Top of Form

"Fuck…I am envious…My mother can't even cook; I wish I could eat a homemade meal as well."

Laughter erupted in response to the student's declaration about heading home. However, there were those who disliked the 'words'. "Hah? Do you see your mother only as a cooking machine?" From there, a girl with an arrogant face came up to the boy and asked.

"Huh?" The boy was so dumbfounded that he couldn't even respond. He wasn't even very associated with the girl, and it was the first time she had talked to him.

The girl crossed her arms, shooting a disapproving glance at the boy. "I don't know what century you're living in, but women can be as powerful and capable as men. It's not about cooking or being a 'mommy.' We have ambitions and talents beyond your stereotypical view."

The group was left dumbfounded the more the girl spoke.

"You are a mis-"

"Sigh..."

Just as the girl was about to continue her 'words' or, in another aspect, her 'doctrine,' a hearty sigh came from behind her. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The girl was clearly displeased at the interruption. She turned her head back, shooting an irritated look at the source of the sigh.

An ordinary figure with a nonchalant expression stood there, his head lying on the desk as if he were sleeping.

It was a young man, his messy dark hair partially covering his eyes as if he didn't even care about his appearance at all. He looked unfazed by the ongoing conversation, but at the same time, a slight annoyance could be seen on his face, as if his sleep was interrupted.

"Noisy….."

The partially opened, tired purple eyes locked onto the girl. Yuki, the girl who had been fervently expressing her views, scowled at the newcomer.

"You guys are just like beasts, making sounds like that," she scoffed, glaring at the boy sleeping on the desk. "This is an intellectual discussion, and you're here snoring like a wild animal. It's no wonder some people never learn anything."

"Yeah….And you are like a rooster…..Only opening your mouth to annoy people."

"Haa!"

Yuki's irritation reached its peak as she clenched her fists. The boy, Astron, seemed unfazed, but the students around them sensed the rising tension, and they also knew this girl's temper.

"What did you say?"

SMASH! THUD!

With an impulsive burst of anger, she slammed her hand on Astron's desk, creating a loud noise that echoed through the room.

SILENCE!

The sudden disruption silenced the surrounding chatter, and all eyes turned toward the source of the noise.

There, they could see a fist smashed on the desk and the boy who now stood up.

"Surely we are no different than beasts, but you who can't even stand a bunch of words not. It is a good logic you do have; keep it up."

His expression didn't even change for a second as he simply uttered those words and slowly started leaving.

"Yo-"

The girl wanted to say something, but before she could even say anything, her eyes met with the piercing eyes of the instructor, who hadn't left just yet.

Seeing Professor Eleanor's eyes looking at her with an annoyed tone, she decided to retreat back.

But her eyes glared daggers at the boy leaving. "Aliya….just where are you, now?" she mumbled, seeking her friend's assistance right at this time, though that sought assistance was nowhere to be seen.
