<Results of infant hunter aptitude test>
– Gangsian, male, 7 years old, mixed race
– Thank you very much for participating in the infant hunter aptitude test hosted by the Korean government. Unfortunately, however, it turns out that Kang Xian doesn’t have the talent for the Hunter job. Presumed to have no talent in all areas including growth limits─
“Confirmed kill Evande.”
There are no magical and physical talents.
I don’t even have the talent to fight someone.
It is a result of estimation, but there is no room for professional education.
Naturally, his longing for and hope for Hunter also evaporated.
Therefore, I was in a position to make a living by studying normally without eating.
If you get a job, there is a high possibility that you will flow into an engineer or an office worker.
It’s the safest way in terms of life.
A lousy road for entering the world of games.
There will be no pursuit of quick fortune or receiving praise from people.
It could be said that he was destined to live a normal life like most humans.
“Tsk, I can’t help it.”
So at some point, I gave up and accepted it.
The path given to me is not there, but the same path as in my previous life.
Thinking that far made everything in the world feel negative and not gloomy.
Even if it’s a different world, a second chance is like a blessing.
If he didn’t repeat the mistakes of his previous life, he could have lived a better life without his talent as a hunter.
Moreover, my mental age was on the high side compared to my peers.
I was able to move forward by choosing the next best and only the best.
It’s neat, without a single interpersonal mistake that you make when you’re young.
“I’m at school by 8:50… … We can go out slowly.”
That’s why I was able to finish kindergarten stably.
I was now in the first year of elementary school, and I was going to spend my life moving forward sequentially.
Of course, it could have been seen as a bit of a fuss.
“Sian, there is one outside. How can I tell you?”
“Ah? Auntie, hold on! I will leave now!”
However, what would I do if I didn’t have such a sense of the subject of living with my aunt’s house because I don’t have parents.
Even though my aunt’s family were good people, I needed to behave well in order to live on someone else’s food.
It shouldn’t have caused any harm.
“Hana, I’ll go~”
As I packed my bag and went out the door, I saw a girl with brown hair and brown eyes standing upright.
This girl’s name is Hana Im, but she lived next door before I came here.
At the same time, they went to the same kindergarten and were always friends.
On the other hand, unlike me, he was a friend who was full of magical talent.
“Sian! cyan! I’ll be late for school!”
“It’s still 8:05. There, the school is just around the corner.”
“But! I can’t play if I don’t go now! Let’s go to the school playground quickly and play together!”
It was lively, lively, and lively.
From the first time we met in kindergarten.
If it was pure, it could be said to be pure, and if there was no iron, it could be said to have no iron.
“yes? Let’s go quickly~”
Still, being a child, being cute overcame everything.
I said goodbye to my aunt before leaving.
“Yes, be careful.”
That was it.
The door was closed and me and this kid had to walk on their own.
You can say that you don’t know the scary things in the world, going to school with first graders in elementary school, but it was unavoidable.
My cousin had already left because she was in high school, my uncle had already gone to work at dawn, and only my aunt looked after me before going to work.
Here, the school opened from 8:00 am after an internal inspection under the name of ‘protection of students from the dungeon gate’, so there was no other way.
“Sian! look at that! I can see the school already!”
In fact, since the school is too close, there were times when I didn’t feel the need for escort.
After leaving the house, with a twisted sense of time, if you cross just one crosswalk, you can see the school.
“Let’s go quickly and play in the playground!”
“Uh, yes.”
That’s how I made my way to the school through a street that still had bullet marks and magic marks.
After that, what happened to me, who was in the 6th + 1st grade of elementary school, was so obvious.
“Hurray! Sian-ah, use wind magic and ride!”
“That’s because I can’t use magic.”
Play with this guy like taking care of cousins who came to destroy figures on holiday.
“Everyone look at this! It’s a glow-in-the-dark hunter figure!”
“””Oh oh!”””
Entering the classroom right before class and interrupting the children’s chatter.
“A friend who knows what kind of job a hunter is, hands up with the name!”
“Come on! A hunter is a job that catches monsters in and out of the gate, and protects people from bad ladies and uncles!”
“Imhana child, that is the correct answer! As a prize, I’ll give you chocolate here.”
Take a class with obvious content.
“… … So, a kid who knows exactly what a dungeon gate is?”
“One of two kinds of gates! And uh… … The dungeon gate… … ah! If you go inside, it’s a gate with monsters and mazes, naturally rare!”
“It’s not a maze, it’s a labyrinth. But, is that true? Now, here’s the chocolate~”

Listening to the contents of the game setting once more as a class.
“The people you see here are very evil villain hunters! Little friends, you should never be like this!”
“””yes!”””
Receive ideological education under the guise of school classes.
“““Wow-”””
“Everyone, please stand in order of grade! Wait, there’s that tall platinum blonde dude! Cutting in line is bad!”
Eating food diligently like a caterpillar.
This was one of the driving forces that made me live today.
“Huh-”
Other than that, there were things like mindless play in PE class, creative classes and learning weird things, watching the magic of a gifted child, and going back to the end of the ritual.
A daily life that can be said to be ordinary if it is normal, not much different from the previous life.
At first, he had to suffer a lot because he was not used to this kind of life, but now, a few months after the start of his first year, things were different.
“This is life.”
Rather, it is a situation that feels like common sense because it is not adapted to it.
When I spent a day with common sense there, I felt like the lump in my heart was being released.

Living surrounded by the lightness of elementary school and the innocence of children was like a kind of healing for modern people.
This meant that there was nothing wrong with living without brains without worrying about scores, employment, or money.
“One! Crossing at a red light is bad!”
“Spray ice magic on the floor and don’t run!”
“That kind of thing is supported. You shouldn’t eat it recklessly.”
Of course, since they are children, big things could have happened if they really lived without their brains.
Even in the middle of the day when there was no concept, I had to live with the minimum caution.
“Ugh… … But Sian, you talk just like my mother.”
“… … .”
“It’s like telling me things on a regular basis, and telling me not to do something… … I hate something.”
It’s like that everywhere people live.
It seemed that children were dissatisfied with nagging in the previous life or in this world.
I cautiously said to Hana Im, who was showing signs of a period of stormy anger early on.
“Hana, do you know why your parents say that?”
“Um… … I don’t know… … .”
“Hana’s parents say that because they want to see Hana do well, and on the other hand, love Hana.”
“But one thing I don’t like to hear… … .”
“Originally, parents’ love feels unpleasant to hear.”
maybe?
Even though the family over there was a hunter, they were all gentle and kind, so the nagging must have been because they really loved their children.
There is no hunter in the family due to lack of talent, but everyone is good, and it is different from the aunt’s family, but it can be said that it is similar.
“Ahang, that’s right.”
“So even if you think you don’t want to hear it, you must listen to your parents. Because that’s how you can become a great person. got it?”
“Okay! But then, Xian, do you also like me to do well and love me?”
“… … ?”
The innocence of children is such a problem.
Suddenly a hook comes in.
“uh… … Is that right?”
He replied by patting Im Hana’s head.
Occasionally, I was surprised to open my mouth in such a natural way.
I can’t tell if I can say this or not.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand it because it was clear that it was because he was at an innocent age.
“really? Then it means that Xi’an is also a family member like my mother—”
An idea or thought that makes you laugh in many ways.
I removed my hand from Hana Im’s wandering head.
Then, after playing in the middle of the day, he returned home.
It looked different than usual.
That’s how the first semester of the first year ended without a big deal.
At least.
That was until school holidays.
* * *
on the day of school holidays.
The headmaster’s tedious and terrible instruction continued.
It’s the first time I’ve heard it again in a different place in a few years, but it still tastes like sh*t to die for.
“Sian, why is the principal talking so much?”
“You seem to have accumulated a lot of things against students normally.”
It was around the time I didn’t know how many times the words “Last time on the podium” had been repeated.
