I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 8 - Growing Up (2)

Seo-joon went through the procedures for being discharged that day.

Originally, I was going to leave the hospital after a day or so, but thinking about it again, I didn't have to.

His body was strong enough to finish Chiron's daily tasks in one day, and more than anything, Seojun did not want to look at the man who told him to give up on Hunter.

There were so many reasons to leave the hospital, and there was no reason to stay in the hospital room paying money.

After completing the discharge procedures, several nurses sent Seo-jun off with great regret.

In the process, there was an incident where Seo-jun's nurse, Seo-min-ji, asked for his number.

But Seojun didn't care much.

In the past, Seo-joon was busy taking care of himself, and he had to prepare to become a professional hunter in the future.

Since this year's pro hunter exam is over, there is about a year left until next year's pro hunter exam.

In order to pass the exam a year later, I had to train diligently from now on.

Above all, Seo-joon was a beggar with no money.

I had to earn money again to make a living, whether it was lectures or whatever, and I was in a situation where I had to work at the same time as lectures.

There was no time for romance anywhere.

On the way home with such thoughts.

“Hmmmm~”

Even so, Seo-joon’s mood was exhilarated.

“Ah… even if it looks like a rat hole, my house is the best.”

Returning home, Seo-jun lay down on the bed as if collapsing. Technically speaking, it was an old bed that was worse than a bed in a hospital room, but Seo-joon felt extremely comfortable.

As expected, the comfort of familiarity could not come with anything else.

As I was alone in the room, a thought suddenly came to me.

“I really have nothing.”

To be precise, there was one house where I was lying now, but even this was in a position to be evicted soon if the rent was overdue.

9 years of living far away.

A moment when everything was lost.

“haha.”

However, Seo-joon finally felt like he was standing on the starting line.

“Come to think of it, how are you, uncle?”

After the visit six days ago, Man-cheol had stopped visiting Seo-joon.

Rather than being sad about it, I was worried about what was going on.

So Seo-jun tried to call Man-cheol, but stopped.

It wasn't too late, but it was an ambiguous hour to call.

In the end, Seo-joon left a message saying that he was discharged with the thought that he should call tomorrow.

After leaving a message like that, Seo-joon went straight to the transcendent academy.

First Daily Task completed without spending the entire day.

< Do you want to attend the next lecture? >

“Yes!”

Seo-joon, filled with excitement, pressed the course button on the Chi-ron video, which was in the form of a centaur on a still screen.

[good night. You seem to have enough stamina to take a walk now.]

“Toddler...?”

Seo-joon was dumbfounded for a moment at the sound of Keyron's voice in the video.

However, in the video, Chiron continued talking as if he didn't care about Seojun's thoughts.

[There are no students who mistakenly think that they have accomplished something, right? I'm sorry, but I hope there are no students like that. Because the given task is not even basic, it is just a first step.]

Knock.

Seo-joon shook his head once in the heart of being stabbed.

[Anyway, if you're qualified to walk, you'll have to walk now. The first step for transcendental initiation is the senses.]

[And the senses are sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Talk about the 5 senses. These are what are commonly called the five senses.]

[These five senses play an absolute role in the fight. Fighting is, after all, a battle between me and the number of opponents.]

[Because we understand and accept things through our senses of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling with our ears.] [

But accepting and processing them are two different matters.]

Chiron looked straight ahead and spoke.

[Let's imagine that a sword is flying at you. Then, our five senses first perceive the flying sword through sight. The stimulus has been accepted, and only then can a judgment be made.]

[A sword comes flying. The sword is sharp. If it hits something sharp, it cuts. When cut, it hurts and causes fatal injuries. If you get fatally wounded, your life is in danger. Therefore, you have to avoid that flying sword.]

[All five senses are linked to the received stimulus and judge the situation. And all of this is accomplished within a fraction of a second.]

Chiron shook his head and opened his mouth again.

[For those of you who have not even stepped on the threshold of transcendence, that's what you think.]

Chiron shouts in the video.

[Infinitely slow! Slow enough to make you yawn! Why do you think such useless thoughts when you see a flying sword!]

[This is the ultimate judgment in a situation where a sword is flying. the sword flies therefore avoid Intermediate processes are meaningless!]

[Of course, a series of processes are information obtained through experience. Without the experience and calculation of how sharp a sword is, you can't even make a judgment. But why do I have to go through that kind of calculation process all over again for the information I've already experienced!]

Chiron calmed down for a moment before continuing.

[So, in this class, I will teach you how to reduce the gap as much as possible. And that method is something other than the five senses.]

[The slumbering sixth sense. It will often proceed by awakening the sixth sense or intuition.]

< Lecture progress rate of 5.7%... >

Seo-joon was immersed in Chiron's lecture without even realizing that time was passing.

next day.

Seojun left the house early in the morning. My body will be completely fine. It was to get back to work.

And that is where Seojun worked for the past 9 years. It was none other than the transport company that Seojun had an accident with.

It was an unavoidable choice because it was impossible to attack the dungeon unless you were a pro hunter.

To be honest, I didn't want to go there again because it was Seojun. So I looked at other companies, but for some reason they were all rejected.

And it's not just Seo-joon, but other people too.

Rumor has it that some time ago, because of the Behemoth accident, companies were refusing new inflows.

Therefore, it was an unavoidable choice for Seo-jun, who did not have money to eat lunch right away.

Lectures were important, but shouldn't we have at least enough money to live on?

Because of this, Seo-jun was worried about what would happen if he threw himself out to become Kim Tae-soo, but he didn't throw Seo-jun out, only showing a slight displeasure.

For that reason, Seo-jun is sitting in the waiting room.

Because it was still early, Mancheol could not be seen.

While waiting, Seo-joon had nothing to do, so he took out his smartphone from his pocket with the thought of listening to a lecture.

< Unread messages: 1 >

But, there is only one notification window visible.

“what?”

Seo-joon lowered the notification window to confirm it.

[Hello, Mr. Seojun. This is Minji Seo. Did you go home well after being discharged?]

And that was a message from Minji Seo, the nurse in charge of Seojun, with whom he exchanged numbers yesterday.

“Ah... I must have missed it because I was listening to the Chiron lecture yesterday.”

Of course, just listening to the lectures at the Transcendent Academy made me feel like I was practicing something.

I was just listening to it, but when I understood the content, I felt like I was learning it naturally.

And Seo-jun could feel that it wasn't just because of his mood.

So when Seo-joon listened to the transcendentalist lecture, nothing caught his eye.

You wouldn't be hurt if I didn't reply, right?

Although he said he didn't care... Seo-joon tried to reply even now.

But when I tried to send it, I didn't even know what to reply to.

It was when Seo-jun wrote and erased the sentence while thinking about it, and repeated it several times.

“Hey, I came here, but what are you doing without saying hello?”

Mancheol's voice suddenly heard.

When Seo-joon raised his head, sure enough, the shaggy Man-cheol was looking at Seo-joon with a disapproving look.

“uh? mister. Are you here?”

“okay. No matter how many times I call, there is no answer. Anyone who sees it will know that they are sucked into the world inside their smartphones. What are you really doing?”

At the same time, Mancheol tilted his head and looked at Seojun's smartphone.

“Seo Min-ji? Is that a girl's name?”

“Oh, that's it...”

“You bastard...”

Seo-joon blurted out and Man-cheol rolled his eyes.

“At that time, I was trembling with the plague of saying no. Seo Joon-ah. this guy is sad I thought there was nothing to hide between us.”

“It’s a misunderstanding, sir. It wasn't really like that back then.”

“then? So, is it right now?”

Seo-joon was speechless for a moment. Then, Mancheol smiled and said.

“who?”

“That... a nurse at the hospital.”

“nurse? Look at this kid?”

Afterwards, Mancheol teased Seojun by mixing strange words.

Seo-joon hurriedly changed the topic as it seemed that he would not know the end if he continued to do so.

“More than that, Uncle. Did something happen to you?”

“me? no. Why all of a sudden?”

“It's nothing different. He hasn't said much since he came.”

Then Mancheol suddenly made a bitter expression.

“Ah, that’s because I was fighting with my daughter-in-law…”

“With Su-yeon? why?”

“There is something like that. You don't have to know, dude.”

“Didn’t you just say that there are no hidden things between us?”

Then, this time, Mancheol was speechless. Then Manchul said with a puzzled expression.

“It’s okay. Is your body fine now? Aren’t you going to break your body while working for no reason?”

“yes. It's no different than before. The doctor said there was nothing wrong.”

“Still, don’t push yourself too hard. It’s not like a person who would become a professional hunter would do anything recklessly.”

“of course.”

‘Guy...'

Contrary to Seo-joon's lively answer, Man-cheol muttered bitterly to himself.

Even if you act like you're not okay like that, you'll still be burning inside.

“By the way, uncle. I think I should send a reply before I start work, but what should I send?”

Seo-joon smiled and turned his gaze back to his smartphone as if nothing was wrong.

At first glance, Man-cheol was proud of Seo-jun and felt somewhat sad about him, so he hit Kkulbam without even realizing it.

however.

swish

Just before Honeybam struck Seo-jun on the head, Seo-jun suddenly lowered his head and naturally avoided it.

Even though it was an angle that Seojun couldn't see well because he was looking at his smartphone, the motion was so smooth as if he knew it in advance.

“what? How did you avoid it?”

“hmm?”

It was only then that Seo-joon was able to harbor doubts about his actions.

To be precise, it was only after the words of Mancheol that he was able to recognize that he had avoided the night of Mancheol.

“Iknow, right?”

How did you avoid it?

Seo-joon tried to remember for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

It just felt like something was flying and my body was moving on its own.

some strange feeling.

And the strange feeling didn't stop there.

“Hey, are you okay…? 3 of them weighs over 200kg.”

“yes. it's okay. Don't worry and put it on your back.”

“Seeing you say it, it seems to be okay...”

Seo-joon, who usually had trouble carrying two dogs, but now, for some reason, he still has enough strength to carry three.

“Let’s all take a break!”

“oh my...! I will die.”

“Why, the more I do this, the more difficult it seems to be, let alone adapt.”

break time approaching.

“Seojun! It's time for a break! Take a break and do it!”

“ah! yes I’ll just move this and go!”

“Just take it easy. Don't strain yourself.”

“yes yes!”

Others said he would die, but Seo-joon didn't mind.

‘It's strange... Why is it so full of energy?'

In the end, Seo-joon, unable to control his strength, came up with a new idea.

‘Shall we carry out the task while carrying the corpse?'

It was doing Chiron's task while carrying the corpse.

He has no choice but to work because of his livelihood, but the current priority for Seo-joon is the lecture at the transcendent academy.

However, there was not enough time to do both at the same time.

The task of transporting the corpse usually took about half a day, and on days when I had to work overtime, I had to work until late into the night.

From then on, it was unknown whether he would be able to complete all of Chiron's tasks even if he performed the tasks.

Above all, 24 hours was too short for Seo-joon because he had to listen to Shakyamuni lectures constantly.

However, if you have so much energy, there is no need to set aside time to do the assignments.

So, Seo-Jun started carrying out Chiron's task with the monster corpse on his back.

however.

- 500 squats. [3/500]

‘Huh? 3 counts?'

Strangely, 3 reps were counted in one squat.

Did adding weight increase the efficiency by that much?

‘Isn't this honey?'

Knowing that fact, Seo-joon started to wander around the scene like a madman.

“mister! I'll do that! Please give me!”

“huh? Are you carrying three of them right now?”

“It’s okay, give me.”

After Seo-jun climbed over the 3 monster corpses and placed 4 of them on his back.

walking on one foot

“one!”

Squat!

walking one more step

“two!”

Squat!

And that's all.

“Hoo-wook! Whoop!”

Seo-joon started running around at full speed to the place where he carried the monster corpse on his back.

In the end, Man-cheol, who was worse off, began tearing Seo-joon off.

“hey! Are you crazy? Then you die! Don't tremble and stop it right now!”

“are you okay! This will save you time!”

“hour? What bullshit are you talking about!”

“There is such a thing!”

However, Seo-joon only talked about incomprehensible bullshit and did not stop doing crazy things.

If the situation was like this, rumors couldn't have spread.

“Wow... is that a human?”

“Honey. Didn't that friend say he had a major surgery a while ago? What is that?”

Mancheol said with an absurd expression.

“I don’t know, so don’t ask. Did you get cyborg surgery at the hospital?”

“Cyborg surgery?”

Then, everyone's eyes turned to Seo-joon.

“one! two! three! Great! This time it’s push-ups!”

Then Seo-joon gets up again after falling on the floor with the monster corpse on his back.

“Crazy…”

“Crazy…”

People just stared at it, mesmerized.
