Everywhere I looked, it was just a bunch of guys in the same uniform.
If there was any difference, it was in how well they wore the clothes?
Some wore it tailored to their bodies, while others had their uniforms so tight they looked like they were about to burst.
How should I describe the feeling of walking among those guys in the same uniform?
The Academy classes should be harder, but why do I already feel suffocated?
I've heard that some older people want to go back to their high school days.
'Why bother? Is there a need to?'
For me, school wasn't exactly a place with good memories.
Well, that's because I had to work part-time to make a living, so I didn't have the luxury to care about my studies.
Since I didn't attend properly, it's only natural that I don't have good memories.
Honestly, I'm glad I awakened as a Hunter; otherwise, I'd probably be doing manual labor on a construction site.
'Anyway, the atmosphere is definitely different.'
Well, it's a school that anyone can attend, so it's not like there's an entrance exam, which might be why.
You can't judge people solely based on their grades, but it's also true that problems are more likely to occur in places like this.
Studying isn't everything, but most thugs don't study.
And the more of these guys there are, the higher the chance of accidents happening.
'By the way, is this even working?'
They say it's a scroll made directly by Hunter Choi Ah-rin, but why do I feel like people are looking at me so much?
Judging by their reactions, it doesn't seem like they recognize me as Kim Si-woo.
'Ah, is that it?'
Feeling their gazes, I looked around and definitely felt like I stood out.
Even though students these days have good physiques, they can't compare to the body of a professionally trained Hunter.
Plus, my body has a sculpted feel thanks to the Makina System, so it seems like some guys were looking at me and whispering.
"Wow... Shit, his body is fucking great. Who is that bastard?"
"If there was a guy like that, there's no way I wouldn't have seen him. Who is he really?"
"Is he a transfer student?"
It wasn't enough to just disguise my face; plus, the uniform size was rushed, so it felt a bit tight.
Still, I was worried about what to do if someone tried to pick a fight, but luckily there weren't any guys like that.
Well, anyone can see that my body is muscular, so I'd look like a strong guy.
I didn't think my body was that thick compared to Tankers, but the difference is bound to be significant compared to ordinary students.
Well, the age difference isn't that big, but there's a world of difference between an Awakened and an ordinary person.
At this rate, it'll be hard to investigate quietly.
'Well, at least I'm not alone.'
I could spot a familiar-looking back of the head in front.
The small figure with red hair was none other than Jeong Soo-ah.
Since I'm not going to be investigating for a long time anyway, it's problematic to check this entire wide school alone.
Besides Jeong Soo-ah, I heard that Min-ji is also at this school, but we've decided to pretend not to know each other for now.
Well, there's also the fact that I'm upset because of Elena, so I'm avoiding her on purpose, but I'll have to resolve that in the future.
'Should I look for guys who are using Triam?'

"M..My name is Kang Tae-poong, a new student this..this time.. L..Let's all get along.."
"Nice to meet you."
Kang Tae-poong, just a pseudonym I came up with on the spot.
Some guys seemed to back down immediately after seeing my body, while others were already showing hostility.
Especially the guy in the back row had an unsettling look in his eyes.
"..."
The teacher, who was half bald, was also watching the guy in the back row.
I figured that guy was probably the de facto boss of this class.
'These bastards are going to get a hole in their heads.'
His eyes were so fierce; I couldn't tell if this was a school or a battlefield.
"Th..Then you can just sit in any empty seat."
"Yes."
There weren't many students, and many were dropping out, so there were quite a few empty seats.
I lightly ignored the glaring guys and sat in the back seat near the back door.
"Oh..."
"Shit, is there going to be a fight...?"
"?"
Judging by their reactions, the guys were looking back and forth between me and the thug in the back.
Was the back row only for the bullies?
__Kwaang!
At the moment the guys were whispering, the back door suddenly opened, and a female student in a uniform that looked like it was about to burst in came.
A female student with dyed yellow hair and lots of earrings came in.
Her face was a bit cute, but compared to our kids, she seemed to be a lower grade, should I say?
Still, she was a female student with considerable looks among ordinary people.
"Who's sitting in my seat?"
"This was your seat?"
I thought it was an empty seat because the desk was empty, but I guess not.
As I was about to move to another seat, she pulled my tie and sat on the opposite side.
"New student?"
"Yeah. I transferred today."
"Ehehe~. I like you. You sit next to me."
Then the female student raised the corners of her mouth with a seductive face, but why don't these guys have name tags?
"Kang Tae-poong? Pfft. What kind of name is that? So old-fashioned~."
The yellow-haired female student snickered after seeing my name.
A kid whose blood hasn't even dried yet has such bad manners.
I flicked her forehead.
Of course, I controlled my strength. I'm wearing a Mana suppression bracelet, and I barely used any strength.
"Ouch!. Hey! Did you just hit me!!?"
"You started it first."
She rubbed the spot where I flicked her with both hands, puffed up her cheeks, and looked at me.
"Wow. You're fun? Is it because you have a good body?"
Saying that, she pressed down on my arm, and I lightly pushed away Yellow's hand.
"Don't touch me."
Min-ji is already in a bad mood because of Elena, so I didn't want to cause any misunderstandings.
"I don't want to? I don't want to? I'm going to touch you? Aebaebae~~"
Yellow stuck out her tongue with a playful voice, but why isn't the teacher caring even though he's here?
"Hey. Kang Ju-ji."
"Huh? Why, Hyeok-ah?"
"Do you know that bastard?"
"No? I'm seeing him for the first time today?"
"Ha. Shit. Are you doing this on purpose?"
I don't know why that guy is suddenly getting so worked up.
Could it be that he has feelings for the girl named Kang Ju-ji or something?
'Hmm... Well, honestly, she's not bad, is she?'
She's not as good as Min-ji, but she's quite a beauty among ordinary people.
She's a student, but she has a somehow sensual feeling, should I say?
"W..Well, prepare well for the first period..!"
The bald teacher ran away from the classroom because the atmosphere seemed unusual.
As expected, it's a delinquent school, so even the teacher doesn't feel like a teacher.
Of course, I had no intention of playing along with this farce.
I was just going to check if there were any guys related to Triam here and go back to the Academy.
'Well, I guess it doesn't matter if I just listen to the classes roughly?'
The classes at the Academy are already overwhelming, so why would I listen to high school classes again?
It would be right to avoid this thug before getting into a fight.
I pushed Kang Ju-ji away and got up from my seat.
"Eung? What's wrong, Tae-poong-ah, where are you going?"
"Why do you need to know?"
"Wow. You're so chic. I might like that style?"
"Hey, Kang Ju-ji!!"
Is she doing this on purpose? It seems like she knows that guy is interested in her.
I don't know why she's bothering me, is it for simple amusement?
It might be arrogance, but maybe she likes me?
'It's too early for 3 years.'
I didn't come here to play.
It would be better to look for traces of magic power than to be listening to classes.
I was told not to cause any incidents if possible, but the moment I got involved with Kang Ju-ji, it seemed difficult.
"What~? Are you running away now?"
"Yeah."
"This bastard. Hey, where are you going?"
Hyeok, who was glaring with the momentum to throw a punch at any moment, I don't know what kind of Hyeok he is, but it was clear that he didn't like me.
Now that I see it, he also seemed to be learning some kind of exercise, and his body looked pretty good.
If you compare him to me, he's pushed back, but among high school freshmen, he was almost top-tier physical.
'Ah, is that it? Is he pissed because I'm not intimidated by him?'
If a guy who looks like a thug at first glance yells, everyone probably wouldn't have crawled.
I don't think the school I went to had this kind of atmosphere; it feels like a tiring life.
Isn't the time for showing off strength over by the time you're in high school?
"The cafeteria. Is there a cafeteria here?"
"Yeah~. It's on the first basement floor! Should I guide you?"
"I don't need it."
"Ha. Shit, hey. Are you ignoring me right now?"
"I answered you."
"You little shit! Lift your head!!"
With the sound of cutting through the wind, the guy's fist flew in; he seemed quite fierce, as if he was learning boxing or something.
Anyway, he throws a punch right away; his personality is not fully formed.
__Kkwak.
Of course, there was no way his fist would reach me.
I grabbed his wrist as it was and defended.
At the same time, the bracelet that suppresses the flow of magic power, I wore it in preparation for a possible accident, but I didn't know there would be a crazy bastard who would throw a punch from the first day.
Even though magic power is suppressed thanks to the bracelet, where would the experience of fighting go?
Grabbing an ordinary person's fist was a piece of cake.
'Still, I have to be careful, right?'
It's a work made by Choi Ah-rin, but it's not a panacea.
It only plays the role of suppressing magic power, it doesn't stop you from trying to use magic power on purpose.
Besides, even if there's no magic power, the basic physical abilities are the same.
It weakens it to some extent, but what if I accidentally can't control my strength?
'Then it's a real accident.'
I'd become a murderer.
"Let go! Won't you let go?! You fucking bastard!!"
"Ah, sorry."
I was thinking about something else and forgot to let go; as soon as I let go of his wrist, Hyeok immediately threw a punch.
I lightly dodged the guy's fist, which didn't deviate from my expectations at all, and went out the back door.
"Shit! Don't stand there?!"
"I'm hungry. Sorry, I'll deal with you later."
"Shit!! You fucking bastard!!"
I ignored the bastard named Hyeok or whatever, who was shouting full of anger, and headed to the cafeteria.
Dare to make me do this?
'Mine... You guys are dead if I catch you.'
