I Became an Academy Overpowered Marksman

4. Academy without Hyunseung Lee [Emptiness]

Broad Academy assigns classes from A to F based on practical or written grades. Class A is a place where the most advanced students can enter. Class F is where the most inferior students enter.

For reference, after Lee Hyun-seung’s stalking incident spread throughout the school, Class A students cursed at Lee Hyun-seung, but in Class B, C, and D, there were no swear words against him. In particular, the F class rather treated Hyunseung Lee as a hero.

The reason was simple. It was because karma accumulated because of Yu Hee-yeon’s atrocities. Yoo Hee-yeon, she tends to get along with class A students who are the same as herself, but from class B, who are inferior to her, she doesn’t even talk properly, rather ignores them and thinks they are inferior. This attitude of hers was widely spread to people, and she became notorious.

That’s why not many people blamed Lee Hyeon-seung, even cursing Yoo Hee-yeon, saying that he looked good, as if asking for a shot. However, class A students, who are top predators, benefited from Yoo Hee-yeon quite a bit, so they clung to him like bats and flattered Lee Hyun-seung. Especially vicious is Seong Hyun-wook.

During break time in Class A, Seong Hyun-wook talked to Yoo Hee-yeon.

“Yoo Hee-yeon, don’t worry too much. If that bastard does something like stalking again, I’ll beat him like a dog. His body is so flimsy, he looks like he’ll die if you hit him, doesn’t he?”

Seong Hyun-wook is interested in the guild run by Yoo Hee-yeon’s parents. Artemis is a guild with the best armed forces, wealth, and personal connections in Korea. Even if he just joined Artemis’ guild at the end, his future was guaranteed. Seong Hyun-wook’s parents were also the ones who ran a high-ranking guild, but they were far from worthy of Artemis, so Seong Hyun-wook clung to Yoo Hee-yeon’s side and flattered her. Someday, Yoo Hee-yeon may inherit Artemis, and when that time comes, she may be given a major position.

Yoo Hee-yeon spoke with a spirited expression.

“I don’t really care about such a low-class man. The only useful thing was that I had a lot of knowledge.”

Yoo Hee-yeon laughed and talked.

Soon, it was class time. Teacher Jeong Yu-jin looked at the students and said.

“In today’s class, we will learn about production techniques. Basic crafting skills can be used by anyone, but crafting skills of an awakened person who has been awakened as a blacksmith job are essential to making complex or high-level items. In particular, the reason why even blacksmiths of Epic or higher are treated fairly well is…”

The teacher told various stories, and then asked the students.

“This was a simple explanation. Any questions?”

Jung Yoo-jin looked around. However, no one raised their hand and spoke.

Even, most of the students in Class A took the class indifferently, as if they were not interested in these contents, as if they already knew them.

‘Without that child… How can I be so empty…’

Hyunseung Lee always showed his eagerness to explore many things with his bright eyes from the beginning to the end of the class. When I asked if there was anything I wanted to ask, there were times when the other students got tired of me because I asked them a lot. However, Hyunseung Lee’s questions were always interesting and attractive.

-Teacher, when you mix the goblin’s bodily fluid with the slime’s mucus and make it into a solid, then ignite it, a strong explosion occurs. Do you know about the principle?

In every class, Hyunseung Lee found out about unusual things that others didn’t know about, and asked questions about them. Sometimes I wonder if he knows more than his teacher, Yujin Jeong. So, it was fun to talk with the student. Teacher Jeong Yoo-jin likes to explore and do research.

‘That kid… what is he doing right now?’

Even though she was still young, the reason she couldn’t date once was because there was no one who matched her intellectual level. She likes a man who is mature, intelligent, and has an inquiring attitude. But so far, no one has taken her surname.

However, I guess I know now. I vaguely feel it only after Lee Hyun-seung disappears.

Jung Yu-jin thought that he was interested in Lee Hyun-seung.

All of the academy students are adults, so this attention is not a problem. However, the reason why Jeong Yu-jin was surprised and couldn’t help but be surprised was because it was the first time.

It’s the first time I’ve felt empty or missing someone.

‘If it wasn’t for the Artemis Guild…’

He felt resentful of himself for having to expel Lee Hyun-seung. Because I didn’t have the power, I couldn’t say anything and had to follow.

“Instructor?”

Suddenly, seeing the instructor who had stopped, some students warned him to come to his senses, and Jung Yoo-jin came to his senses and continued the class.

“Sorry, I’ve been thinking too much. Shall we start class again?”

***

Lee Hyeon-seung entered the labyrinth full of monsters.

The labyrinth is currently being explored from the 1st basement floor to the 12th floor. No one knows how deep this labyrinth is. One thing is certain: the lower you go underground, the stronger monsters appear.

Hyunseung Lee is standing on the first basement floor. It was the most dead end among them.

– Swoop

Hyunseung Lee started to touch the wall here and there.

‘f*ck… This is the right place.’

On the first basement floor, there is a secret space that has never been opened. A place you can know because Lee Hyeon-seung is a deceased figure at Broad Academy.

-Knock-!

Lee Hyun-seung ran his hand over the wall and looked at it because he felt something caught on it.

‘found. After all, it’s the same as in the game.’

When the brick was gently pulled out, a small magic circle was drawn on the inside.

-Kwajik-!

Hyunseung Lee bit his finger without hesitation.

-Jureureuk

Then, she poured her own blood into the magic circle.

– Woo woo woo woo-!

In an instant, the magic circle began to light up, and Lee Hyun-seung was drawn in.

***

Upon entering the interior, magnificent structures and a well began to be seen.

The place where Lee Hyeon-seung was sucked in is a hidden place on the first basement floor. This place is called the well of the goddess. The reason Lee Hyeon-seung came here was to get a job.

The Goddess’ Well was a place where you could get a job, in a word, help you awaken.

‘Obviously, in the game, the job was given according to the offering.’

When playing the Broad Academy online game, you could get an epic grade job by cutting your hair into the well of this goddess.

Jobs are rare in the order of normal, rare, epic, unique, and legend, so even the epic grade wasn’t too bad. However, Hyunseung Lee was worried.

Because I knew what no one knew.

Not only hair can be sacrificed to the well of the goddess. Parts of the user’s body can also be sacrificed. Even, the larger the sacrifice, the higher the limit of jobs that can be obtained.

For example, if you sacrifice only your hair, you can get an Epic grade job, but if you sacrifice both your hair and fingernails and claws, you have the possibility to get an Epic or higher grade job.

‘How much can be dedicated… A well that gives a reasonable job according to the will.’

Which job is chosen is random.

For reference, this is a hidden piece on the first basement level, but once inside, it is a space that disappears when you put an offering into the well or go outside. So, it is not well known to people. No, in fact, you can think that everyone else except Lee Hyun-seung doesn’t know. Hyunseung Lee always monopolized this place as soon as the round of the game started.

Hyunseung Lee continued to ponder.

‘Equivalent exchange…’

The more sacrifices are made to the well, the greater the return. That is, the probability of getting a high-level job increases. However, it is meaningless to include other people’s body parts or monster body parts. It meant that I had to put my body part in it. Seeing that Epic-level jobs came out with just hair, it was naturally predictable that cutting off body parts such as fingers and toes would give even better jobs.

-gulp.

‘Should I do it in moderation and give up? Anyway, it’s not bad to get only Epic out of the regular Epic Unique Legendary ranks. It’s just because the general grade doesn’t come out…’

Even if you put only hair, there is a high probability that an epic grade job will come out. If you cut off your fingernails, fingers, or toes, you could get a much higher grade job, but the thought of sacrificing your body was terrifying.

By the way, if you go outside, all the wounds inside will be healed. In other words, even if you cut off your arm, if you go out again, it will be restored to its original state. However, I didn’t have the courage.

‘f*ck… Do I have to go this far to get revenge?’

It was scary. To cut and carve one’s own body. I was afraid that I would have to feel that pain.

-Ttook

-Ttook

Water was still dripping from the ceiling. A whopping 5 hours. Lee Hyeon-seung stood still for 5 hours without doing anything. Because if I put a body part in the well, or if I leave this dungeon, the opportunity will end. Unable to go outside or take any action, I stood there and pondered.

‘Should I just get the Epic… and leave…’

Then, the phone started ringing.

-Tur r r r r r r r

It was an unknown number. As it was a serious situation, Lee Hyunseung hung up the phone.

-Turrr

However, the call started ringing again from another number.

-click

I hung up again, but soon the phone rang.

-Turrr

‘what is this? Is one person calling multiple mobile phones alternately?’

Lee Hyeon-seung, noticing the strangeness, answered the phone to find out what was going on.

-hello.

-hahahaha… Why the f*ck are you not answering the phone?

‘what?’

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard a nervous voice from a woman I had never heard before.

-who are you?

-who? do you sound like that? Why are you so shameless after our Heeyeon stalked me?”

-…..Are you familiar with Yoo Hee-yeon?

I asked in a questioning voice. Before long, shocking words came out from the receiver.

-Everyone knows, because Heeyeon is my daughter. You such a piece of trash

-Sueug

I listened to her and silently looked at my arm.

‘Should I cut this… and put it in?’

In an instant, a great impulse arose.

Kim Hee-ra wouldn’t know, how much influence she had on Lee Hyun-seung’s choice.
