Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 6.3 - Lessons

"Silence."

The moment this word echoed inside the room, the classroom got quiet. After all, everybody knew who this woman was.

The woman's stern expression softened as she scanned the room, her sharp eyes taking in every detail. She had an air of authority and experience that commanded respect.

'Professor Eleanor White.' I thought, seeing the woman.

"Good morning, class." She spoke as she calmed everyone down. "Let me take the attendance; then we will be discussing the proper usage and handling of weapons in combat."

Professor White had short, yellow hair that framed her face, giving her a distinguished appearance. Her eyes were a striking shade of deep blue, and they seemed to have an intensity that could pierce through anyone's defenses.

In fact, they were since she was also an active hunter that went on missions from time to time.

'Eleanor White, global hunter ranking 210.' I immediately thought, remembering her rankings from the start of the game.

The first female hunter to reach the rank of three digits at the age of 21 and the third human to do that naturally.

'The Invoker.' It was her name since she was one of the most talented people in the world right now. A person that reached her own realm in terms of using mana and manipulating it, giving her the nickname of 'The Invoker.'

Her attire was indeed that of an instructor, exuding a sense of authority and experience. She wore a neatly pressed white shirt with the emblem of the Hunter Academy embroidered on the chest, signifying her position as a respected teacher. Over the shirt, she had a dark blue blazer that added a touch of formality to her appearance.

Her pants were made of sturdy material, allowing for ease of movement, which was essential in the practical aspects of weapon training. On her feet, she wore simple yet durable black boots that completed the professional ensemble.

Her yellow hair was neatly tied in a ponytail, giving her a no-nonsense look that matched her stern demeanor. Her sharp eyes, a striking shade of deep blue, seemed to miss nothing as if they could detect even the slightest hint of mischief or laziness among her students.

While I was seizing her like that, she started taking the attendance of the students.

"Student rank 2450, Astron Natusalune."

And as expected, he started with me. Well, that was to be expected since this was how things always went.

The moment my name went passed inside the classroom, everyone's gaze momentarily turned towards me, some of them having mocking smiles on their faces. That was how it always went, so I didn't pay any attention to them.

"Present." Replying normally without minding anyone, I lowered my gaze and started listening to others.

"Student rank 2269, Jean Irwin."

"Present."

"Student rank 2154, Ethan Hartley."

"Present."

Since Ethan was not a student that started with a high-rank thanks to his awakening later than his peers, he was ranked in the last sections, just like Astron. That was what made Astron down in despair and inferiority… Seeing the one that was like him improving himself.

"Student rank…."

.

As she kept going higher and higher in the ranks, finally, the first character of the main cast made his appearance.

"Student rank 756, Sylvie Gracewind."

It was Sylvie, with her signature bright smile, she was looking at the teacher with her hand raised. Since she was the future Saintess and healer, she was not someone with high scores, at least in practical. Thus, the principal made her a special position where her rank would be evaluated with only her theoretical results.

"Present."

"Student rank 567, Asher."

Next one was the first lackey of Victor, who was sitting in the back rows, a man with a bulky build that used his fists as a weapon. He was found by Victor in the slums, and then he was recruited by him, seeing his combat prowess even as a child. After all, at that time, he beat five adults as an 8-year-old kid.

"Present!"

His huge voice echoed inside the classroom as the elephant growled like an animal.

"Tch." I couldn't help but click my tongue since my senses were a lot more sensitive, which also meant his loud voice made me more irritated. Though, he didn't hear me, and I also didn't want him to hear me either.

"Student rank 456, Kellan Stormrider."

"Present."

This time the guy who spoke was the second lackey of Victor, who was the son of a family that was the subordinates of the Blackthorns. His face was scarred, and he looked like a Viking with the dual axes he was using in the game.

"Student rank 98, Carl Braveheart."

Reaching the first 100 ranks, it was Carl. The stoic man with a bulky build and noble aura around him.

"Present."

"Student rank 75, Lucas Middleton."

Then it was Lucas, the 'best friend of the MC.'

"Present, teacher."

The reason why these two were ranked this low, even though they belonged to the main cast, was because they missed the theoretical exam almost. They entered at the last thirty seconds.

Yeah, they really did, thanks to a dungeon appearing out of nowhere where they tried to save as much as people with Carl's stubbornness. Ethan was the same, but I don't think he could raise his rank with his tiny brain…. Jokes…

"Student rank 43, Julia Middleton."

Julia was individually strong, but thanks to her being a little dumb, she ranked lower than the others with her low theoretical exam results.

"Present."

"Student rank 5, Lilia Thornheart."

Then, there was Lilia. With her theoretical score being one of the highest, she was ranked fifth inside the academy overall, and she was the only archer that was in the rank of 50.

"Present.
