I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 21

Jeong Ha-yeon and I headed to Jeong Ha-yeon’s private training room inside the Elpon Academy.

Elfon Academy provides each student with a private room for individual training.

When I went inside, there were targets and bows and arrows for training.

“….”

Without a word, she raised her bow and drew the bowstring.

Wedge-

Soon the arrow pierced the center of the target.

She continued to practice alone like that.

“…..”

She treats me as an invisible person.

I just stay with my sparring partner because there is a penalty if I don’t go out with him.

What should I do?

If she practices the way she does now, she will be defeated by Kant.

A big factor in why she shines in the future is the fraudulent nature of one arrow leading to multiple arrows.

If enemies see only one arrow and are careless, they will be helplessly hit by the arrows that increase in an instant.

But, of course, she didn’t seem to be able to use it yet.

Unsurprisingly, it was her brother who taught her her bow.

A person who is currently making great achievements as a promising player in the Hunter Association.

When she thinks between him and her Jung Ha-yeon, it’s no wonder she doesn’t think she’ll stray from his teachings.

It wasn’t until after Jeong Ha-yeon’s death that one arrow learned how to branch out into multiple arrows.

The question is.. Will he listen to me when he strays from his brother’s teachings..?

Let’s try it.

“Hey.”

I said timidly.

“…..”

Jung Ha-yeon ignored it lightly and focused on the target.

Do you have to scratch this to get a reaction?

“I don’t shoot bows like that.”

“…..What?.”

She looked at me with a frown on her face.

“I don’t shoot bows like that.”

“…Do you want to die?”

She opened her creepy eyes and looked at me.

It looks like it will shoot that arrow at me right now.

“Think of splitting an arrow that has already been shot into multiple arrows.”

“…I said something, but it was useless.”

Jung Ha-yeon lightly ignored my words and focused on the target.

Originally, if one arrow spreads out into multiple arrows, the power decreases accordingly.

So the combined destructive power of multiple arrows is actually inferior to that of a single arrow.

That’s why most people don’t use it.

However, Jeong Ha-yeon is different.

She has the gift of being able to make multiple arrows spread from one arrow without any loss of power.

And this is one of the ‘characteristics’ that only she can do.

I must make her talent bloom as soon as possible.

Then you will grow even more.

“Hey. Listen to me.”

“……”

However, Jeong Ha-yeon lightly ignored my words.

How do I really do this?

****

“Kant. Aren’t you practicing?”

His friend said to Kant lying on a park bench.

“Why do you practice?”

“Still, the opponent is the daughter of the head of the Hunter Association. Aren’t you a bit dangerous too?”

“Then aren’t you nervous?”

“Why am I nervous? There is no scenario where I lose.”

“Jeong Ha-yeon is training hard at the training center, but in case you didn’t know. Aren’t you supposed to do something too?”

“Even if I kick, he wins. Don’t worry unnecessarily.”

Kant laughed.

“Hey. Don’t you know that the Hunter Association is full of idiots these days? I’ve completely tasted it there these days.”

“Now you are a candidate for the ‘Crystal’ guild. If you beat the daughter of the president of the Hunter Association, won’t your image taste better?”

“What do I know?”

“You confessed to him.”

“By the way?”

“You don’t like it yet?”

“Don’t talk bullsh*t.”

Kant frowned.

I get annoyed just hearing Jung Ha-yeon’s words.

She once confessed that she likes Jeong Ha-yeon.

However, she was humiliated once by being kicked in front of her entire school.

Since then, even hearing the three letters of Jung Ha-yeon’s name makes his teeth tremble.

If you can’t have it, you should thoroughly destroy it.

So no one can have it.

That’s the perfect revenge for Jeong Ha-yeon.

What is the best revenge method?

That’s probably the most obvious.

Her way of ruining her completely is to make her image of the Hunter Society plummet.

Then, automatically, she will gradually lose her place.

That sounds like fun.

Kant grinned.

“Where is Jung Ha-yeon now?”

“I heard Nam Do-yoon and I are in a private training room.”

Kant was strangely offended by the name Doyoon Nam.

When the Crystal Guild came to a briefing not too long ago.

I heard the name Nam Do-yoon.

Why did the counselor say the name Nam Do-yoon at that time?

Are you interested in a single student at the Crystal Guild?

“Let’s go.”

“What? Really?”

“Uh. Where are they now?”

“Jeong Ha-yeon is in her personal training room.”

They headed to Jeong Ha-yeon’s personal training room.

****

Wheein-

Jeong Ha-yeon The door to her personal training room opened.

Soon after, two men came in.

One was Kant, and the other was his friend.

“Yeonah Ha. Hi?”

Kant greeted Jeong Ha-yeon with a smirk.

“Hello! Brother, how are you?”

Jung Ha-yeon also said with a smile.

“I know you and I have a sparring this time.”

“Yes. Brother.”

“Yeonah Ha. If you lose this time, you know that the image of the ‘Hunter Association’, which is already bad, will be further hit, right?”

There are a lot of thorns in the words you say from the beginning.

“…..”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at him without speaking.

“That’s why Ha Yeon-ah oppa is especially generous and tells you, abstain even now. Huh? Then the bottom is not exposed.”

“Puhahahaha- yes. Ha Yeon-ah, Kant is doing everything because he thinks of you.”

The friend next to me said with a smile.

To say that it is for Jeong Ha-yeon is a complete lie.

If she abstains, the fact spreads that she rather ran away because the daughter of the head of the Hunter Association was scared by the ‘Crystal’ guild candidate.

If that happens, the image of the Hunter Association will plummet even more.

I’d rather lose in Dalian.

“Huh? Yeonah Ha. What do you think? My brother is saying all these things for you. Know?”

“……”

Jeong Ha-yeon must be swearing all over the place right now, but she holds it back because she manages her image.

In that case, can I speak for you?

“Asshole.”

I said looking at Kant.

Hearing that, Kant turned his gaze to me.

It looks like they’re going to hit it right away.

“What did you say?”

“You said you were an asshole?”

“Try to talk to your seniors. Is this a complete mess?”

“A senior must be like a senior to be a senior. If it’s a senior to come here and tease me because I confessed and got dumped, then I’ll just pretend I’m not there.”

“What? This is real… “

Jeong Ha-yeon turned to me and smiled.

It must have been quite cool that I said what she wanted to say.

“If Jeong Ha-yeon loses, I will get on her knees and apologize. Instead, if you lose, how about getting down on her knees and apologizing to Jeong Ha-yeon?”

“What? Fuhahahaha-“

Kant grabbed his stomach and laughed.

“Are you serious? That?”

“Yes.”

“My friend. It seems like you don’t know the fear of a sophomore yet, but do you really think you’re an opponent?”

“So you want to bet? Will you speak? I am absolutely confident that I will win.”

“You said your name was Nam Do-yoon, right?”

“So what?”

“No, I thought I was someone worth keeping an eye on again. He was an absolutely lousy guy. You don’t have to worry about it.”

I peek laughed.

“You don’t have to do it if you’re scared. What are you going to do?”

Kant’s expression hardened in an instant.

“Yes. Instead, let’s add one condition.”

“What?”

“If I win, you should hit me.”

“Yes. Great.”

“Yes. See you after the sparring battle.”

With those words, Kant and his friend went outside.

After that, she stared at me.

She rose from her seat.

She picked up a water bottle in the corner and then started walking toward me with it.

Uncharacteristically for her, Jung Ha-yeon handed me some water from her training room and said,

“Hey. Aren’t you thirsty?”

What did he do?

“…Isn’t it poisoned?”

“Do you want to search? Don’t eat. Just”

She tried to snatch her bucket.

“Or not.”

I gulped down the water.

After that, there was another long silence.

“Hey.”

Jung Ha-yeon spoke first.

“Why?”

“What were you thinking when you made that bet? There’s absolutely no guarantee that I’ll beat Kant. No, if you look at it calmly, there is a chance that I will win…..”

“Because I will make it.”

“…What?”

“Do what I said earlier. Multiple arrows branching out from one arrow.”

“After… Yes, just do it once.”

***

Two days later.

“Come on. A lot of people have gathered here.”

At the center of the Coliseum-shaped arena, the moderator wearing sunglasses spoke.

Looking around, I saw some pretty famous faces.

The best academy ‘Elpon’ From scouts who came to discover talented people from the academy and take them to their guild, to fairly high-ranking government officials.

A huge number of people were seated in the audience.

“Today’s first test is Jeong Ha-yeon and Kant students. Now, please enter.”

Soon the two entered the Colosseum and faced each other.

“Well then, get ready…. Start!”
