541 (Hunter Academy Side Story 8) The School Nurse_2 Awakening is different for everyone. There are general patterns, but how quickly someone adapts to their powers after awakening, and the extent of those powers, varies from person to person. Even among mages, each possesses a different amount of mana, and Awakened are no exception. Just looking at the graduates of the Academy shows this diversity. In fact, you don’t even need to look at the graduates—just the three current students are…

497 Pursuit (1) Desert. It was the desert. A landscape I had grown sick of seeing during my time in America. “Ah, but at least this desert feels more humane. I like it,” Han Taekyung remarked. It was a peculiar sort of appreciation for the scenery. “Haven’t you seen deserts often yourself, Dr. Han?” Han Taekyung’s main area of activity had been the Middle East. He must have seen enough deserts to last a lifetime. “Of course. The problem is I’ve seen them far too…

299 Will (5) “How was that?” Han Taekyung said with a smirk, his tone as infuriating as ever. Han Eunyoung, who normally hesitated to even sit on bare ground, just lay sprawled out, too exhausted to reply, raising only her middle finger. Laughter erupted among the children. There was nothing that could provoke such a fierce reaction from Han Eunyoung except something involving her brother, Han Taekyung. If you think about it, she lasted a long time. Disliking getting dirty and preferring to sit…

401 Dining Together (1) As I’ve said before, Yangseong High was in a remote place. The nearest city was at least a thirty-minute drive away. Though, calling it a city was generous. It was a town, really—a town. For this reason, and not only for safety, the school was planned to operate as a boarding school. Back when it was a pilot high school, Hong Seok-yeong and other veteran hunters had helped students commute, but that couldn’t go on forever. Eventually, even this area would develop its…

395 Greeting (4) ‘Come out. Now.’ ‘…….’ ‘You’re not coming out?’ ‘Uh…’ ‘Number 2. Stay put.’ ‘…….’ ‘I said, come out.’ ‘…….’ A cold silence. Without thinking, I gripped the hem of his clothes, and a gentle hand pried my fingers loose, careful to keep the woman at the door from seeing. Slowly, I got to my feet. The hem of his black clothes brushed past my nose. I reached out again, but before my fingers could touch, he moved away.…

314 New Family (1) Hong Seokyoung spoke about what the mage named Erve Schneider had done. Unfortunately, I didn’t know much about mages. I wasn’t so idle that I could remember every two-bit mage from twenty years ago. So, inevitably, I called for Kim Chaemin. …Correction. I was about to go looking for Kim Chaemin. “Teacher Woo. Do you have a moment?” If only Imiseon hadn’t found me first, instead of Kim Chaemin. “What is it?” Honestly, I thought…

249 Safety Device (5) “Why?” Park Seo-hyun, gnawing at the end of her pencil, lifted her head. “Huh?” “Is something bothering you?” Choi Jin-woo pointed at the pencil, now covered in teeth marks. “You always chew your pencil when you’re worried about something.” “Ah. Uh, yeah… No, I’m not worried about anything.” Seo-hyun blushed slightly and slipped the ruined pencil back into her case. For some reason, she felt embarrassed by the mess she’d made of…

359 New Employee (1) Kim Chaemin arrived at the school before noon that day. Unlike usual, her yellow sports car tore across the field and screeched to a halt right at the building’s entrance. That was as much as I could see from the infirmary window. There was no way Kim Chaemin hadn’t sensed the flow of magic that Park Seohyun and Choi Jinwoo had also felt. After the problematic mass of magic—after Hope’s wings were cut off, just as he’d said, the influx of magic stopped. The pulsing…

498 Pursuit (2) Sometimes, watching how things spiral into the worst possible outcome, I can’t help but marvel at it. It’s not as if you have to do something wrong—or even do anything at all. Life can unfold with astonishing ease, but on the other hand, it can also become a complete disaster in ways you never imagined. Life is strange. I have no memories of having any fun during my business trip to America. When I first arrived? I barely had time to unpack before I was poring over dungeon…

255 Jirisan Fairy (1) “Have a safe trip!” Kim Chaemin waved her hand energetically, beaming with a wide smile. “Well then, I’ll leave things in your care.” I bowed to Kim Chaemin and climbed into the driver’s seat. Jirisan was a long way off. There had been talk about whether it wouldn’t be better to take public transportation, but that was out of the question with Hong Seokyoung coming along. It was only after the car started moving that Kim Chaemin turned away. I glanced at…

250 The Archmage’s Apprentice’s Apprentice (1) …… …… Kim Chae-min slowly looked over the contract again. …… Still, she said nothing. I racked my brain, trying to figure out how to explain this without sounding like a delusional lunatic or a cultist, but there was no way. I should have worried about this back when we were wrestling over the contract. ‘I’m from the future.’ ‘From nineteen years ahead.’ ‘What happened in the future? Everything was…

354 Molting (1) The school is peaceful. So peaceful, in fact, that it’s almost unsettling. No, of course a school should be peaceful. But just think of all that’s happened here. We’ve had creatures with wings instead of arms attack us, monsters falling from the sky. Even for a Hunter training high school, it’s been excessive. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if a dungeon appeared next. ...Words have a way of coming true. I should watch what I say. At any rate, the quiet days…

342 A Blessing Upon You (1) A few days earlier. Busan. The basement of the Atlas warehouse. “…Once this is all over, how about going hiking together, Heejae?” “Hiking?” I grimaced immediately. It’s not that I dislike hiking, but anyone who knows Hong Seokyeong knows exactly what he means by “hiking.” That’s not something you can call hiking. Even if it were real hiking, still… “Go by yourself.” “What’s the fun in hiking alone!” “Hiking is…

247 Safety Device (3) “Why not? There’s nothing to learn from him.” “Well, it’s true I don’t have anything to teach a magician like you, Ms. Kim, but still, it doesn’t feel right!” “What do you mean, it doesn’t feel right?” Kim Chae-min looked at Hong Seok-young as if she truly couldn’t understand what he was saying. Seeing that, and sensing that Hong Seok-young’s pride was being oddly pricked, I stepped in before he could start spouting nonsense. If I could pass…

317 The Duty of a Younger Sibling (2) Life is not fair. The children of the laboratory, including Woo Irok, learned that lesson quickly. So, did they rage against that fact? Well, if you asked, I could only answer no. Even anger is not distributed equally. The children didn’t know enough of the world to understand that feeling. Those with numbers ahead of Woo Irok, the older brothers and sisters, must have felt differently. They were the ones who had lived outside, like Kang Taewoo,…

272 Prophet (3) It’s a mess. If you only listened half-heartedly, you might think these so-called Prophets are incredibly useful—but that’s not really the case. If it sounds that way, it’s a trap. A person from the future who doesn’t even know how valid their own information is? What if they confidently guide you with knowledge they believe to be absolute, only for the next Prophet to have already used that knowledge up and escaped? Imagine that kind of thing looping endlessly,…

364 Cleaning (2) “That’s not some mage’s toy, you know.” And so, we come back to the beginning. No matter how un-mage-like she might seem, in the end, a mage is a mage. After that conversation with Kim Chaemin, which left me with that realization, we focused on dismantling that damned mass of magic. Hunters might do all sorts of odd jobs, but I never imagined I’d be doing something like this in a school infirmary, not even in a dungeon. It was just a clump of magic, yet I…

323 Guardian (3) The white-haired foreign couple stood out conspicuously within the school. The school’s regulars were always the same, and it was rare to see any new faces. So, a pair of elderly foreigners who spoke fluent Korean? And they were the grandparents of a classmate, no less? But these were only high school students, after all. No matter how well the couple spoke Korean, it seemed difficult for the students to approach foreign grandparents, and so no one did. Perhaps, in truth,…

505 Sun (2) Hope didn’t stop talking for even a moment. “I like dolls too.” The instant Hope said that, Noah Michel—who had been smiling gently, like a doll herself—changed in a flash. “Shut up.” The red dust surged, driven by Michel’s fierce voice. But nothing could intimidate our Alex Hope’s mouth. If anything, he seemed even more determined to provoke her, as if offended. “Why? Didn’t you want a friend? You don’t have any, do you? I told you so many…

439 Hunter and Teacher (4) Bolstered by Kim Chaemin’s advice, I resolved to finally face what I’d been avoiding. There was no point in running from this any longer—it would only make things harder for me. Hong Seokyoung himself probably wasn’t even thinking about it. That was always how he was. No matter what I did, he would just laugh it off with a hearty chuckle. As long as I stayed within that embrace, I was safe. No one could touch me, and I could live exactly as my father always said:…
