Chapter 57

Ability Assessment.

This process, which further divides the abilities of Awakened Hunters, was as crucial as the grading evaluation.

The profession of a Hunter is not only useful against Dimensional Beings but also occasionally, special abilities prove beneficial in society.

For instance, the ability to read someone’s thoughts is extremely helpful in criminal investigations.

Healing abilities, useful in all situations, are sought after regardless of the Hunter’s grade.

Thus, while most Hunters awaken their abilities immediately upon awakening, the way they use these abilities can lead to new discoveries, which is why the Hunter Training Academy actively invests in these ability assessments.

‘In my case,’

I specialize in Power Type, specifically in attacks.

If it were Baeksan, he could use it more diversely, but for me, it’s just 0.1% output and two Thunderbolts.

The assessment method involves an Instructor calling a student, who then demonstrates their ability to the Instructor.

This leads to a noisy situation with people waiting and those being assessed chattering away.

“Kang Ha-chan, student.”

At that moment, it was finally my turn.

Following the voice that called my name, I walked up to the Instructor, who looked at me and said,

“Please use your ability.”

I began to take deep breaths slowly.

As mentioned earlier, I needed to graduate from the Academy as quietly as possible.

Therefore, I had to control my output during this ability assessment.

0.1%

It’s time to draw out my power again.

I started gathering the Aura within me at my fingertips.

I won’t make the same mistake I made with Yekaterina.

“Ugh.”

At that moment, I felt a tickle in my nose and inadvertently took a breath.

“Achoo!”

Zap!

And then, everything went black.

“Huh, what’s going on? Why did the lights go out?”

“Is it a blackout? But our facilities shouldn’t have blackouts…”

“Someone turn on the lights. What’s happening all of a sudden?”

The sudden darkness caused a commotion.

In that situation, I stood frozen with a pale face, silently.

I’m screwed.

This is definitely my fault.

Amidst the surrounding noise, as I broke into a cold sweat, I locked eyes with the Instructor in front of me.

She was looking at the red spark I had created with my sneeze, and her eyes slowly widened.

Even if it was the Aura within me, once I drew it out, there’s no way she, a Hunter, wouldn’t realize the extent of my output.

“Ka, Kang Ha-chan, student…!”

As I quickly dispersed the Aura from my hand and reached out, Seo-ho moved before I could.

Seo-ho, who had rushed out amidst the chaos of the blackout, covered her mouth and swiftly took the Instructor away from the scene.

I was dumbfounded watching the seamless movement, and shortly after, the lights came back on.

“Ah, it’s back!”

“What was that? Was it really a blackout?”

I clenched my fist amidst the noisy voices, sweating coldly.

I glanced around to see if anyone had noticed, but thankfully, everyone was just talking among themselves, not paying attention to me.

Most of the students were not active Hunters, and the commotion of the blackout left them no time to look this way.

“Did anyone else feel a high energy output just now?”

“You too? I definitely felt something right before the blackout.”

However, the Instructors, who are active Hunters, had a different story.

They were looking around with a sense of something being off.

Then, they made eye contact with me but quickly looked away.

At least it’s not you, their reaction seemed to say.

But why does that feel bad?

Should I just shoot a Thunderbolt at them?

“It exploded too violently. At their level, they probably just felt a sudden flash, and only the one who saw it directly in front of you would know.”

Baeksan’s supplementary explanation followed.

That was a relief.

“By the way, Instructor Nahyeon is missing. Where did she go?”

At that moment, someone mentioned the name of the Instructor Seo-ho had swiftly taken away.

Clunk-

Just then, the door through which Seo-ho had taken her opened, and Instructor Nahyeon walked in.

Her eyes were dazed, her face red, and she was drooling.

Then, she walked over to me and let out a fake cough.

“Ah, ahem, I had an urgent restroom break. Sorry. Let’s continue. Ha-chan, sir.”

Sir?

Why have I suddenly become ‘sir’?

As I looked at her with incomprehensible eyes, Seo-ho walked out shortly after.

He looked at me and gave me a thumbs up with his hand hidden below his waist.

Seo-ho, what did you do?

I couldn’t figure it out, but I decided to let it go with relief.

“Ugh, idiot.”

Ignoring Baeksan’s reproach, I started to properly circulate my Aura this time.

I will definitely succeed this time.

Showing more concentration than during the exam, I focused the Aura at my fingertips as weakly as possible.

And at that moment.

Pop-

A very small red spark jumped from my fingertips and disappeared.

Seeing that, I turned to the Instructor with a pleased expression.

“Is that it?”

“Yes!!”

“Good job.”

Hearing my vigorous response, the Instructor wrote something down on her tablet.

“Power Type, below Pikachu level.”

As Baeksan said, she looked at me with sparkling eyes.

It seemed like she was saying, ‘This is how it’s done,’ so I gave a wry smile.

“Um, Ha-chan, sir, please tell Seo-ho, sir, well.”

Not knowing what she meant, I had no choice but to nod as she whispered.

Whatever Seo-ho did, I’ll pass it on well.

“Pop, pop, they say. Crazy, it’s so funny.”

“Hahaha, that’s F-class for you. Look at his face. He’s smiling proudly after that.”

“Hahaha, it’s still so funny thinking about it.”

“Oppa, you’re laughing too much. Don’t go telling on him again.”

As I was leaving Nahyeon and returning to my seat, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter from a group.

When I turned my head, there, as expected, was Lee Soo-ho’s group.

Are these guys my fans?

They’re watching everything I do.

But it feels wrong to just walk away while being laughed at.

“Baeksan, now’s the time. Get ready to possess.”

“You crazy bastard.”

Thinking I should make sure they can’t laugh again, I stopped in my tracks.

Because I saw someone walking towards Lee Soo-ho’s group.

“Students, what’s so funny?”

“Huh, uh, uh?”

And when he spoke, Lee Soo-ho’s group began to show signs of panic.

Because the person who appeared in front of them was none other than Seolsan Iri, Ha Seo-ho.

Looking at him, filled with displeasure and coldness, Lee Soo-ho’s group froze, and Seo-ho’s voice followed.

“Is watching another student being assessed that funny?”

“Th, that’s.”

Of course, they know such behavior is wrong.

It was purely intended to make me feel bad.

So when Seo-ho pointed it out, they became like honey-eating mutes, glancing at each other.

They clearly hadn’t considered that Instructor Seo-ho would point out that part.

“Lee Soo-ho, student, answer my question.”

When Seo-ho specifically mentioned Lee Soo-ho, the center of the group, he showed embarrassment and lowered his head.

Looking at Lee Soo-ho, Seo-ho’s eyes were still cold.

“Uh, oppa.”

Even his girlfriend, unlike me, couldn’t say anything to Seo-ho and was at a loss.

It was a textbook example of the strong preying on the weak.

“In my eyes, Lee Soo-ho, student, doesn’t seem to be in a position to laugh at someone. Do I laugh when Lee Soo-ho, student, is being assessed?”

At that, Lee Soo-ho’s shoulders flinched.

Seo-ho is S-class.

Lee Soo-ho is C-class.

The difference between S-class Seo-ho and C-class Lee Soo-ho is much more overwhelming than the difference between F-class me and C-class Lee Soo-ho.

Frankly, in Seo-ho’s eyes, whether it’s F-class or C-class, there’s not much difference.

Realizing that, Lee Soo-ho’s ears turned bright red.

From the moment Seo-ho stepped in, all eyes, including those of the Instructors, were on them with condemnation, and anyone would be weak under such attention.

Moreover, with Seo-ho exuding a murderous aura in front of them, it must feel like a rabbit in front of a predator.

“Do I laugh?”

“N, no.”

When Seo-ho asked again, Lee Soo-ho answered in a crawling voice.

“If you want to laugh at someone, you must also be prepared to be laughed at. Understand?”

“…Yes, yes.”

Lee Soo-ho was almost on the verge of tears.

‘Crazy, this is Seolsan Iri.’

Once again, I understand why fans are so obsessed with Seo-ho.

If I were a girl, I would definitely have a crush on him right now.

Seo-ho pushing Lee Soo-ho like that was clearly for me, so I felt reassured.

Connections really are the best.

“Lee Soo-ho, student.”

“Yes?”

Just as I was about to return to my seat satisfied, for some reason, Seo-ho called Lee Soo-ho again.

As a panicked Lee Soo-ho raised his head, Seo-ho, with an expression that hadn’t softened at all, said,

“What’s with that voice? Can’t you answer properly?”

Seo-ho?

“Uh, yes, yes!”

“Again.”

“Yes!!”

“Again.”

“Yes!!!”

“Again.”

“Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
