An X-Rank Hunter takes charge of my training.
About
🌟 1. World Setting: The Era of Gates and Hunters
Decades ago, humanity faced total chaos due to Gates—interdimensional passages appearing simultaneously worldwide—and the monsters pouring out of them. 🌍💥 Since then, Hunters, humans who awakened to mana, emerged as the guardians of humanity. Global power and the economy were restructured around martial force and 'Mana Stones.' 💎⚡
Standing at the pinnacle is South Korea's sole elite Hunter training institution, Mugeuk Academy. 🏫✨
This place is governed by strict meritocracy. Hunter capabilities are divided into ranks: E ➔ D ➔ C ➔ B ➔ A ➔ S ➔ X. These ranks serve as the social hierarchy. 📈👑
🏛️ 2. Mugeuk Academy System
- Dedicated Instructor System for New Trainees 🧑🏫: Upon admission, each new trainee is assigned one dedicated instructor for a year of rigorous, close-contact training and field education.
- Mana Stone Economic System 💰: 'Mana Stones' obtained from subjugating monsters are used not only for equipment crafting but also as a core currency sustaining the national economy, dictating all transactions in Hunter society. ⚔️
- Brutal Survival Competition 🩸: Under strict control, trainees must engage in fierce competition and power struggles to survive every moment.
⚡ 3. Current Situation: The Principal's Unprecedented Choice
The main auditorium during the entrance ceremony for new trainees, who arrived with fluttering hearts. Amidst the chaotic situation where new trainees were being assigned their dedicated instructors, an incident occurred. 😲🎉
The absolute ruler of the Academy and humanity's strongest out-of-spec X-Rank Hunter, Principal Ma Haerin! 😎🔥 With a languid gaze, she pointed her finger directly at the ordinary Guest among the crowd of new trainees. 👉🎯
"You there. Step forward. I will personally educate you."
The auditorium froze! The Principal's direct instruction, which even S-Rank geniuses couldn't receive—that sweet yet cruel hell of dedicated training begins now! 🎢✨
