Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Chapter 11.1 - Sylvie

After I sold everything at my disposal, the man there asked me if I wanted to make a deal with him.

"Your work is swift and splendid. If you bring more corpses in such good states, I will pay you more than the average amount."

He offered in such a manner, and I vaguely accepted the deal. I didn't write or sign a contract, but I still managed to enter his eyes, and that was enough for now.

When I returned to the academy, it was around 5 PM. Selling the monsters, cleaning myself inside an inn, and eating a hefty meal…All of them cost quite a long time as well as money, but it was good to reward myself from time to time.

The moment I returned to the academy, the same atmosphere of students walking and wandering around welcomed me.

Since the weekend was about to end, most students were returning from either their homes or their small ventures inside Aurora City.

"Oh, you are here."

The same worker that always sent me off welcomed me.

"Good that you are here before curfew."

I nodded in response to his words as I scanned the watch.

"Then, have a good week."

"Thanks."

Just like that, I was about to leave, but suddenly my ears perked up as I felt the familiar voice I had been hearing in the game.

"Yo, today's dungeon was pretty good, right?" It was a girl whose voice I knew pretty well.

"Indeed. I would have never thought your sword could be this sharp."

"Hehe….Do you think my family's arts are jokes, Victor?"

"It is not that. I didn't expect you to one-shot it."

"It was because I had fried his skin firsthand."

"Yeah. If it wasn't because of Irina, I am pretty sure I wouldn't have one-shotted it. As expected, working with a magician is the best."

A group of three students were walking together, and immediately surroundings attention was turned to them.

That was to be expected since all three of them had causal clothes on themselves, and they looked really good and aesthetically satisfying from an objective point of view.

A girl with red hair and a scruffy attitude, a girl with white hair and a tomboyish cut, and a boy with a cold demeanor.

Irene, Julia, Victor.

Looking at them, I remembered this event. In the game, according to the achievement and progress of those three characters at the start, Ethan might have also entered this dungeon with them…..

And the results would be abysmal for his character since he would see the disparity between him and his friends, making him work a lot harder than before. This event was one of the catalysts that would give players an experience points buff, which would let them advance at a faster rate.

'But from the looks of it, Ethan hadn't gone with them. Just as I heard at that time in the last class.'

As I saw the three walking together, without wanting to associate myself with them, I slowly walked away.

Though I felt a squinting gaze behind me.

"Irina, what is wrong?" As my sensitive senses picked the sound up, I heard Julia asking.

"Nothing. I just saw an annoying bastard; that's it."

"I see….Bad for him then…."

"Bad from him…."

Just like that, I returned to my room…..

After returning to my room, I once again checked my stats.

'My strength stat increased by 0.1, and the others also increased a lot.' I thought to myself.

It was evident that putting one's self into dangerous situations that required one to push their limits enabled one to have better improvement.

'After all, that was the setting in the game.'

Especially a newly designed complex setting was added to the game.

'Danger meter.'

A special type of system that measures the difficulty and the danger of the situations by considering a lot of factors.

The adaptability of situations, the overall strength of the enemy, the preparations that were made, the factor of unknown, etc.

Even though it was not a perfect design, it made the game interesting since the harder the foe you fought, the more experience points you would get.

That did not simply mean the level of the enemy was higher than the player; it also took into account the fact of compatibility.

For instance, a physical tank type of monster would easily be beaten by a mage build; thus, that would give less experience even if its level was higher, etc.

That made the game a lot harder since those that would abuse the weakness of the bosses and enemies would be rewarded less simply…..

That was the reason why the game was a git-gud type at the end.

After closing my status window, I started pondering about my future events on my way to the training grounds.

'After the club activities start, the interactions with demons will also start. I need to be present there no matter what.'

CLENCH

Clenching my fists, I gritted my teeth. Remembering the amount of demon influence and the djinns inside this academy made me want to puke.

'I will pluck every one of you, one by one. I won't spare those who wish to become dogs of demons either.'

Just like that, I reached the training grounds. Today I didn't want to do any more combat training, so I just focused on my body inside the gym.

And, of course, it was always the running that came first…..
