My Range is One Million

Chapter 33: Going to University 2

-But why do you always take the hard road instead of the easy one?

-What do you mean?

-When that guy offered you help on the hunters test. You never contacted him. The clan seemed to be really good with that...

-Oh. That...

The spirit referred to that time when he met The Star Dust Clan. He made it very clear that Jaehwang could call him if he needed help with the test and obviously if he had called him, then he would be feeling less tensed right now.

He could feel that Jaehwang was a debauzer. It’s not that they couldn’t take the test, it was just different and...

-I have to relax but that person got into it. Even if I’m sorry, I don’t think I could get into the clan.

There were more reasons behind that but the biggest reason was, the clan was actually the organization that supported Jaehwang until his first year of high school. That sense of belonging made him feel prideful but they rejected him after the incident.

-I’ll get my hunter license and work alone when I finish.

-Really? When you did the inspection that time, didn’t you find it too hard for a hunter to hunt alone?

Jaehwang and the spirit shared the same view. When she had decided on something, then he could sense it too and he understands she was right most of the time.

-Right. But do I have the requirements? The most basic thing that I need was to have a third rank hunter license so I guess it could be difficult... When you get a third rank hunter license then skills aren’t an important thing.

-Really? Is a third rank monster that strong? Even stronger than you?

In those two years, she had watched him develop his skills as she tried her best to help him. That was the reason why she couldn’t understand what he was saying.

-No, it’s not just about knowing the tier of the monster that you hunt, it’s more than that. Besides, even if I could give my skills to someone else, they would be useless.

This was the time where the world had a great interest in the prospects of archery. Jaehwang had planned to become a hunter after he had received his attention but that was the same reason he was hiding his face as much as possible.

-So how are you going to attend by yourself?

Jaehwang then answered her question.

-I’ll need a specific reason but by being the only healer, it could be possible that I would be alone through everything. Even though healers aren’t guaranteed to hunt monsters, there were a lot of places that they could fit in so I think they would not get easily accepted into this organization.

He didn’t need a reason. He wanted to get the characteristics of a second place hunter but he had to get his hybrid license first.

-Hm. Okay. I understand.

He finished talking with the spirit and closed his eyes. His sleeping spot had changed so it was not easy for him to fall asleep. He thought about how he suddenly left school and went up to the mountains. He thought about how he had no real problems to solve at that time.

He remembered when he locked himself in the cabin and accepted the time when he almost died. But with the help of his ancestors, he was able to gain strength. He thought about how much he actually didn’t know about the world. After spending two years in the Alousu, he felt that everything had changed so much and he couldn’t fall asleep at all.

Jaehwang sighed as he looked at the textbooks stacked in front of him. It was the first hour of class and It had been a while since he had sat at a desk. He watched the teacher explain but the dagger he was holding made it hard to concentrate onto half of what he was saying.

“You can’t fail in the hunter test. The writing part with interaction consist of things you will need in real life. In the hunter general law starting from page 52 to page 83, you’ll memorize everything. And that’s about it! Any questions or concerns?...”

Someone said something and showed a paper inscribed with black writing. The problem was that Jaehwang was apart from everything. He just sat in patience since he didn’t remember what he studied. During the teacher’s class of Jaehwang’s school year, test time was taken away and it was almost just a quiet sleeping hour. That was the time when he focused on archery but things were different now.

Besides, he’s not living alone anymore.

-Why do those people keep looking at you? It’s annoying...

-Keep it down a little.

He couldn’t concentrate with the spirit talking in his head.

He knew the obvious reason why those people kept staring at him. It was because of the female employee from the day before... He had never experienced something like this before but he was beyond frustrated. He gave her permission to take a photo but she uploaded his picture onto her SNS account.

The bigger problem was that she and some of her friend employees were competing for the attention of their newly registered student. The next day when he went to the university, everyone knew what his face looked like.

-Look at this.

He glanced at his right and saw three people looking at him.

-It looks like they don’t like you.

All the girls were into Jaehwang and there were three males that glared at him with envy.

-I know. But I wish that they could please stop...

-Yeah...

The spirit’s voice became quiet as Jaehwang’s class complained.

“Hey... When are we going to take the test?”

The instructor that stood at the teacher’s podium sorted the textbooks before he answered.

“Today is just the first lecture but that’s okay, you guys can still practice and relax.

It was fine but they didn’t know what kind of questions would be on the test. There won’t be more than ten questions but they may not be prepared for any of them. Evidently, the hunter writing test should be the top priority. Getting a good score on essay like that was very important. Even if it was easy to adapt to, it would still be hard.

-The first group of the question seemed like they’re going to write about the army hunter organization’s established legal system...

A savior then randomly appeared out of nowhere.

-Do you know about this?

Jaehwang asked to the spirit. He then heard someone talking.

-Did you read it?

-You have to read it.

She told him that he needed to read it but he didn’t understand that he would have to memorize it all.

-You have to read it and then remember it.

-...

After spending two year in the Alousu he had forgot about how a lot of things worked in the real world.

-I have to remember everything?

-Yes. Everything related to the army hunter organization. To make it easier, in the ministry of defense, the hunter action committee were ranked low. The action committee then formed together and managed. Remember everything starting from the Korean hunter secretariat...

The spirit simply answered and explained everything so Jaehwang could start memorizing everything quickly. She then sullenly explained the answer to the first question.

-What about just cheating?

-Then I’ll get a ten percent snack cost increase, ice cream, and other delicious food.

-... Next question please.

She had the answers but she wanted something out of it.

***

The next day the university’s grades were posted on the bulletin board. The students went over to see how they did on the test from the day before and all of them couldn’t hide their surprised reaction when they saw who was at the top.

“Three hundred is the maximum and this person got 280?”

“It says ‘Jeon Jaehwang... I’ve never seen that name before...”

“That’s a newly enrolled student...”

“He’s really handsome! He has great hair and an amazing face and I heard that he enrolled to be a healer...

“You’ve seen his face before?”

“That’s enough.”

They talked about his face yesterday and today, it was about his score. There were two female students talking about him. All the female students were interested to know him and gave their attention to him. All the other guys were left green with jealousy.

“Hm...He’s been tired since this morning.”

“Something happened, seems like he’s been receiving bad treatment...”

“Yeah, he’s in a bad mood and he’s smoking outside in the back of the university.”

Those three guys have clearly been envious of Jaehwang since yesterday. They’ve been at the bulletin board babbling since this morning and they couldn’t hear any other name being talked about except Jaehwang’s

Those three guys were the best in terms of the physical strength system so they’ve experienced how it was to be popular but now, they felt like they had been forgotten and replaced.

“Huh? Hey, it’s that guy.”

One of the three guys spotted Jaehwang so he alerted his two other friends. It looked like he came from a morning workout with sweat dripping from his forehead since he wore workout clothing as he walked up the stairs.

His face was covered by his shiny hair and he was careful not to get to close to anyone. He was a typical outsider, he didn’t say a word throughout the entire day. No one could tell if was just shy or arrogant.

“Hey...”

The guy standing in the front pointed his chin and the guy next to him replied with a nod. It looked as if they were communicating telepathically. He was a healer so the thought that he lacked physical strength but he’s still strong.

They both slightly lowered their heads and waited for the right moment to cross Jaehwang’s path as he walked down the stairs. The guy standing in the middle reached out his shoulder and bumped into him. They were trying to start a fight... However, Jaehwang simply avoided it and continued to walk as if nothing happened.

The guy who bumped him watched as he disappeared into the crowd of students.

“Ugh...”

His friend then walked up to him and they started a playful fight. He was also a guy that belonged in the physical strength system and just like every other system, they were divided by classes and levels.

“Hey!”

The guy yelled at the back of the stairs. Jaehwang turned his head towards him while he continued to walk up as if he did care.

“You clearly almost caused an accident and you don’t even apologize?”

“Ah Sorry...”

Jaehwang said after raising his hand. The guy standing in the front then yelled in reply.

“Ha... Sorry? Is this guy stupid?”

He nitpicked at Jaehwang’s lack of sincerity. He raised his voice and walked closer to him.

“Someone clearly got hurt but you can’t even apologize properly? That’s it?”

“...”

Jaehwang just looked at him and shut his mouth. He clearly didn’t like it when he grabbed Jaehwang’s collar and started to shout.

“Are you stupid? Aren’t gonna say anything?”

Tututuk...

He roared at him but he couldn’t see if face. Jaehwang stayed still as if he couldn’t move but then, he started to fight back. His worn-out workout clothes couldn’t take the strength and threads had started to come loose.

The rip then became bigger.

“Ah.. This is my only workout outfit...”

Jaehwang’s small sentence had a cold tone in it but they couldn’t sense it. That was their mistake.

“Huh? Idiot... Follow me!”

He tried to grab him again but this time Jaehwang slightly moved his hand away. He began to walk down the stairs and took the lead.

“Hey! Where do you think your going?”

“Follow me. Hurry up. I’m busy.”
