Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Chapter 8.3 - Art Manual

?

Life in the Academy was more lively on weekdays than on weekends. Since the students are allowed the leave academy grounds on weekends, most students would either visit their families or would hang out with each other.

After all, considering the range of ages for the students, it made sense that they wanted to socialize with each other. But that was not the case for the weekdays. Almost all of the students would stay on the academy grounds unless special permission to leave were granted to them.

CHATTER CHATTER

That was the reason why the cafeteria was filled with the sounds of chatters. After stepping up into the cafeteria and grabbing a meal, I made my way to the corner table and started eating all alone.

Though at the same time, I was listening to other students talk with each other.

"Hey, have you guys decided which club you're going to apply for?" At that moment, I heard an interesting topic.

'Ah, right… Now it is time for the clubs…' I thought to myself.

"Clubs? Right, one month has passed, hasn't it?"

Since the Arcadia Hunter Academy allowed cadets to participate in club activities after one month had passed, some cadets would forget about their existence.

"Yeah. What do you think? Which club are you going to apply for?"

Clubs in this academy have a huge variety of ranges. Considering the number of students for each year, it made sense that there were huge numbers of clubs. After all, as the last ranked student, I was ranked 2450, and knowing there were five grades for the academy, there are at least 10k students on this campus, excluding the 4th and 5th rank interns.

"I'm thinking of joining the Combat Tactics Club. They say they focus on honing your strategy and tactical skills. It could be useful in the future."

Starting from the Combat Tactics Club, strategist monster takedown, there were several theoretical and combat-related clubs out there.

"Combat Tactics Club? That sounds pretty intense. I was considering joining the Elemental Mastery Club. Being able to harness different elements in battle sounds cool."

"You guys should check out the Adventure Explorers Club! They go on exciting quests and explore mysterious places. It's like living in an action-packed fantasy world. As a sophomore, I am really regretful that I didn't choose that club."

"Hmm…. But I think the Martial Arts Club is the way to go. I've seen some of their members in action, and they're like martial arts masters. Plus, you get to learn self-defense techniques. They even said there was a Master Level Hunter that would come every year."

"Oh, I've heard good things about the Elemental Mastery Club! But I'm leaning toward the Stealth and Infiltration Club. Imagine being like a shadow, sneaking around undetected."

Then, there were clubs that required more practical skills, just like these.

"Stealth and Infiltration? That's intriguing, but I'm more interested in the Robotics and Gadgets Club. Building cool gadgets and machines sounds like much fun."

But that was not all. There were some clubs formed by the engineering department of the academy, magicians, and many others.

The academy encouraged students to join the clubs since, from the statistics alone, they could see the improvement, and that made sense. No matter how serious your education is, every student needs time to refresh themselves, after all.

'If I am correct, Ethan should be joining the Adventure Explorers Club and Spear Legacy Club.' Even though in the game the option to join any of the clubs of the player's choice was given, there were two exact choices in the game player would have to join no matter what.

One was the Spear Legacy Club, where the player would increase their Spear Skills and learn new Movements on their arsenal, and the other one would be Adventure Explorers Club for the sake of opening into the open world and exploring the things that could be shown.

'But I don't know what he will choose aside from those.' I thought. After all, there was no player that was controlling him right now, and even if there was, I had no way of knowing without getting close to him, which I wasn't planning to do.

A hero-like person was not something I liked.

In any case, the time for the clubs coming meant one simple thing to me.

'The main events of the game will start soon.'

That was the appearance of the main events. The first month of the academy was basically the tutorial, so there weren't many events that affected the storyline. But after this moment, things would slowly be turning hectic.

Though I didn't care about what the storyline was about, neither did I care about the main characters.

'I am going to kill every demon that will appear; that's it.'

With that thought, I stood up, finishing my meal. There was still quite a lot of time until the clubs started their work, so I only needed to train.

Just as I was about to leave the cafeteria, I felt a stinging gaze on my back, only to see a girl with fiery red hair looking at me with an irritated expression on her face.

"Tch." Seeing me looking at her, Irina clicked her tongue, though I just ignored her and went my own way.

********

Entering the same shooting range I had used to train before, I grabbed my weapon from the bag.

<Please set the number of targets.>

And the same robotic voice welcomed me.

"Twelve," I mumbled, increasing the number of enemies.

<Choose your training difficulty.>

<You can choose from stage 1 to stage 9.>

"Stage 2," I spoke, and soon the lighting went off.

And following that, a bunch of blue-colored insect-type monsters appeared.

'Then, the only thing left for me is to train.'
