Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Chapter 42.1 - Trip

DING!

The bell rang as the students looked at their instructor.

"I guess we don't have much time." The instructor looked at his watch and shook his head. "I will see you on the next Sunday."

With those words, he concluded the class, prompting the students to start chatting among themselves.

In one corner, a group of students discussed the recent assignment, frustration evident on their faces.

One of them sighed, "I still couldn't figure out the last part of the formula. This report is going to be a disaster."

Another student tried to offer reassurance, "Well, at least they postponed the deadline. We have a bit more time to work on it."

"That's true," a third student chimed in.

"I needed that extension. I think we can manage if we focus this weekend." As the conversation continued, other groups of students shared their own experiences and strategies for tackling the challenging assignment.

In the midst of them, I simply walked through the classroom. Since we had finished writing the report on the first day and then submitted it, we didn't have much left to do.

'In any case, Senior Maya called us to the club today.'

Normally, our meetings would be on weekends, but today, Senior Maya called us for a meeting. It was quite unusual since she herself must have been busy with her responsibilities.

'Why did Senior Maya want to meet today?'

I mulled over the possibilities. Perhaps there were updates on upcoming events, changes in the club schedule, or additional assignments. Regardless, I decided to pass by.

'There is a chance that she will inform us about a possible trip.'

I thought, remembering the game. Even though this club was History and Art, there were times they traveled, even though it may sound odd.

Lost in thought, I felt a presence at my side, and when I turned, Sylvie was walking alongside me.

'Huh?'

It was weird for me to not sense her presence while she was approaching. However, soon, I realized the reason Sylvie's own aura made her blend in the crowd while making people around her comfortable with herself.

'Really, truly a broken ability.'

I thought. Her quiet demeanor and focused expression suggested she was contemplating something as well.

"Hey," seeing me noticing her, she greeted me with a small smile. "Any idea why Senior Maya called us today?"

I was going to talk about it but soon discarded the idea. It would be weird for me to know about it beforehand. So, I shook my head. "Not really. It's unusual for her to change our meeting day. Maybe there's something important she wants to discuss or announce."

Sylvie nodded thoughtfully. "Could be. I hope it's not another surprise assignment. I've had enough of magical formulas for a while."

"I doubt it. No matter how enthusiastic she is, she won't do such a thing."

"….I hope."

I knew Sylvie was quite afraid of Senior Maya, as she always tried to escape whenever she saw her, especially when Maya had snacks with herself.

As Sylvie and I continued our conversation, we made our way to the familiar club room. The halls were quieter now as it was the lunch break, and most students had dispersed to their respective destinations.

"We are here."

At that moment, upon reaching the club room, I felt it—a peculiar sensation, as if someone's gaze was fixed on me. It sent a shiver down my spine.Top of Form

FLINCH!

I unintentionally flinched as my body immediately responded to the intent directed at me. But this time, I knew who the person behind the gaze was.

'Bastard.'

I cursed inwardly as I looked out the corner of my eye. There, I could see a guy watching me from a classroom while sitting in his seat surrounded by a bunch of students.

It was Trevor Philips. He had been quiet for a while now, but I was always alert to any possible plot he could pull.

As my body tensed from the unexpected gaze, Sylvie noticed my reaction and followed my gaze to Trevor Philips. She furrowed her brows in confusion. "What's wrong? Why are you looking like that?"

"It's nothing. Just thought I saw someone I knew." I said since I couldn't tell this about Sylvie, nor would she understand anyway.

"If you say so. Let's head inside."

She said and entered the classroom. Our club didn't have a special office for now, so Maya called us to a lecture hall.

As we entered the hall, Senior Maya was in the midst of wrapping up her conversation with the other student by the window.

"Ah, you're here,"

*******

Maya had been busy these days, as her assignments and many other things immediately crashed down.

Just like the first-year students, the second-year and others also had a change in their curriculum, and theirs were more severe.

However, at the very least, she still had free time to spare for her club activities. Of course, even though the history and the art might not seem related to the Hunter Academy, she wholeheartedly believed that it was important for her juniors to relax.

Though that itself was a tasking experience, as she was also helping others with when it came to practical exams.

Just when she thought she might be reaching her limit, a welcome surprise arrived in the form of a message from one of her sponsors.

"If you wish, you can take a look at the historical site we've reserved for research."

The offer seemed like a much-needed respite, a chance to escape the overwhelming demands of academia, and then decided to accept.
