Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Chapter 18.4 - Small but not small help

Now, in this world, there are things we can control, and there are things we cannot.

This is an undeniable fact.

And no matter what, a person can not be on guard most of the time while doing whatever they want.

Sometimes, we would need to focus, we would need to put everything into one place, and that time would be our most defenseless state in a sense.

These were my thoughts the moment I sensed someone's presence before me after I collapsed.

The cheerful, annoying girl, our club president, and strong senior. Those would be the words that would define her from my eyes.

However, undoubtedly, she was one of the most talented people in this world. Being the first rank of the second year and achieving it overwhelmingly was something that was not very easy to do.

Even with talent alone, you can't do that; you need to put in work as well.

However, the idea of someone watching me while training is something that will, of course, make me uncomfortable. After all, I am a person who dislikes being around others, which also means others being around me.

Therefore, at first, I was slightly angry that she was watching me.

"I see….But, then, why are you training on the open field if you don't want to show your skills?"

Hearing those words, I couldn't refute it. I also didn't have the energy to do so. After all, constantly sparring with a dummy for at least 3 hours straight was something hard.

My body was tattered, my muscles were screaming at me, there were some veins that protruded up, and my breathing was ragged.

But, while I was talking with Maya, even if the topic was slightly soft, I learned that when she got serious, she was really someone to take note of.

She was experienced, and she was smart enough to make use of her experience. The way she gave me feedback was certainly true.

"Hey, if you're interested, I can help you with your mana control skills,"

But, it was those words that made me surprised. Helping someone out of the blue was not something any person would normally do.

Therefore, like any logical person would do, I thought she was looking for something from me. Nobody would be without anything to gain, especially for a task that requires this much time.

But then, when I asked it, the answer I got was something I was not expecting.

"Consider it a repayment, Junior."

"So, if you let me, I'd like to help you refine your mana control. And in return, you'll be helping me challenge myself again, just like you did today."

She was talking about challenging herself and her drive, and this was not something that was in the game.

Senior Maya didn't have much screen time, so I didn't know her character aside from the surface she had put on.

But, this was not a game, so everyone had their own life and own experiences.

'This is not an opportunity I can miss.'

This was all I could think of. In the end, the biggest thing I was lacking was my mana control; therefore, learning from the best the academy could offer was something I could not refuse.

So, I just accepted the offer.

******

Maya Evergreen.

A girl with a slightly different common sense than others.

But even then, she was not a girl with a bad nature. Rather, considering her actions, one could even say that she is a good person.

Her existence is someone who lightens everyone around her with her own shine.

Therefore, she was undoubtedly one of the most influential students in the academy. It was not because of her family, nor was it because of her rank.

It was because of a good personality and good interpersonal communication.

"So, this is the Elemental Chamber," Astron mumbled as both he and Maya entered there.

The Elemental Chamber lay before them, its entrance marked by an intricately carved archway that seemed to pulse with a faint glow.

It was like LED lights illuminating the surroundings, but in fact, they were all mana psions that had taken the attribute of the special element.

It was a place reserved only for high-ranking students of the academy, a privilege earned through hard work and dedication to their studies.

Maya stepped into the Elemental Chamber with an excited grin, her blue eyes lighting up with a mixture of anticipation and familiarity.
