Chapter 207 – Graduation Ceremony (1)
[The 34th Hunter Academy Graduation Ceremony]
“Supreme phenomenon.”
Ichie, who was rolling around on the mattress, tilted the pad sideways. There was a subject written on the school site mail box that caught my eye. When I saw the title, I frowned.
“Graduation?”
“Yes. They say it’s a graduation ceremony.”
“Uh? Did the graduation date come out?”
Senior Yu-jeong, who was watching a movie next to Ichie, asked her with her eyes wide open. I asked her
“The original graduation ceremony was held on such an unexpected date? Do you get a date by hitting a fortune teller or a fortune teller?”
At the sound of a fortune teller, Yu-jeong shook her head and said,
“It’s not like that, we prepare for the graduation ceremony when all the students who entered last year get D grades. Looking at the date, it’s next week? I think they all achieved D-class last month.”
“Are you fast?”
Ichie asked. Senior Yoo-jeong smiled bitterly at her words and shook her head. She meant that she didn’t even know herself.
The answer came elsewhere.
“This year? Average right? “
The shower room door burst open, and Seong Ha-yeon was brushing her hair along with the hot steam. She looked at Ichie through the crack in the door and said.
“Usually all graduation ceremonies are held at this time. Being promoted to Class D isn’t a matter of talent, it purely depends on how many monsters you catch and how much you train yourself to the limit, but the promotion is slow because auxiliary-type abilities don’t play a large role in monster hunting.”
Seong Ha-yeon was covering her body with one towel and brushing her hair with another. Senior Yoo-jeong looked at him and said.
“Sister. Do you use two towels in the shower?”
“No, it’s because this is Suhyeon’s house. Will you come out naked? Like Uncle?”
When I put on a look that seemed to like it, Ichie poked me in the cheek and said,
“Supremacy. Your expression is sinister.”
“I used to look like this.”
“A sinister aquatic phenomenon.”
While Ichie said that, she continued to poke my cheek. Seong Ha-yeon giggled at the sight, then picked up her clothes that she had hung outside and began to wear them. She was wearing a pink nightgown with a comfortable heart on it. She didn’t poke my cheek, she asked senior Yoo-jung.
“Will Yu-jeong come to the graduation ceremony too?”
“I have to go. She is proof that she has become a full-fledged Hunter now. She needs to get her original diploma to be considered a proper hunter.”
“Me and Soo Hyun-sang are still recognized as hunters and we are doing well.”
Seong Ha-yeon said as she took out her strawberry milk from her refrigerator.
“You guys get promoted very quickly. If it’s that fast, you don’t need a diploma, just take a basic test at the guild and take it yourself. [Amazing] [Diamond Club] It would have been a free pass if you applied to a place like this instead of our guild right now?”
“I like [Ground Zero].”
Ichie said that and I nodded her head too. Seong Ha-yeon scooped out her strawberry milk and threw it at her plastic bag. Watching her fit into the pay-as-you-go system placed in front of the front door, senior Yoo-jeong asked Seong Ha-yeon.
“Is Hayeon unnie coming?”
“I’ll go. Our Suhyun is graduating. I should give you a bouquet of flowers.”
“Me?”
Ichie asked in a whining tone. Seong Ha-yeon smiled and said.
“You ask your uncle.”
“It’s too much.”
Ichie made a sullen expression. She looked at Seong Ha-yeon as if Yoo-jung sunbaenim was too much. Seong Ha-yeon shook her head and brought her cell phone, and she showed the screen. On the screen, there were two flower baskets that had been booked for delivery to the flower shop. Ichie narrowed her eyes and looked at her, then she smiled and sat down again. Seong Ha-yeon said.
“Hey, do you think I won’t even give you real flowers? Of course, I prepared everything.”
“I was counting on you.”
Everyone burst into laughter at Ichie’s words. I giggled and went back to my seat, and senior Yu-jeong turned off the movie she was watching on her pad and then picked up her cell phone and said,
“Shall we all eat together?”
“Eating is good. What are you going to eat?”
Ichie looked at Seonghayeon’s belly and she said.
“Eat something plain. It’s good for your health.”
“How about Samgyetang? Samgyetang.”
When I made a suggestion, everyone nodded. Seong Ha-yeon nodded her head to see if she had searched on the Internet in the meantime, she said she was good. Another day passed like that.
****
Deep in the night, I entered the world of images. When I woke up in the world of images, Misaki and the Almighty were always enjoying a different game.
“Well done! Well done! Almighty Emperor, fighting!”
Misaki was cheering with a fanfare in a cheerleader outfit, with an iron bar hanging in front of his eyes. The Almighty Emperor was about to cross the iron bar with his teeth clenched and his back bent. His legs were shaking and his lips were biting.
“What are you doing?”
“Yaaaaagh!”
The Almighty was startled by my question and sat down on the floor. As soon as she sat down, Misaki jumped at her and said.
“And! Won! Almighty Lord! I won!”
“This, this, this is invalid! This, this guy suddenly came in and made a mistake!”
The Almighty Emperor was pointing his finger at him with his face red. I asked, holding her finger and swinging it around like a joystick.
“So what were you doing?”
“I was in limbo! Master! Because Almighty Emperor promised to grant me one wish if I won the match in Limbo!”
“Hey, is it? What did Misaki wish for so that our Almighty Emperor was working so hard?”
I shook it as if I was dancing while holding my hands with the Almighty. The Almighty Emperor muttered with her blushing face.
“That… A duet with Mi-Misaki…”
“Oh, that would be fun. Do you match the clothes too?”
“Well, what kind of vulgar word is that? I am omnipotent! I wear that, such a lascivious and vulgar attire… !”
“Am I shallow?”
Misaki stretched out his arms and made a puppy-like expression. I said holding onto the cheek of the Almighty.
“No. Misaki. Our Misaki. How pretty Almighty Emperor is a bit drunk and talking nonsense.”
“Ah! Oaah! Ohhhhh!”
The Almighty struggled. I looked straight into the Almighty Emperor’s face and said.
“Yes? Almighty Emperor? Will you do a duet with me?”
“Ah, that, that… !”
When he met my gaze, he closed his mouth and nodded with a blush on his face. Misaki smiled again and ran around. I couldn’t help but giggle because it looked like something out of a Japanese cartoon. Leaving behind the Almighty, who was fidgeting with his face red, I sat down in front of the table. The Almighty made chairs for Misaki and me and sat in front.
Almighty said.
“Is it graduation soon?”
“Yes. It’s a graduation ceremony.”
“To think Master is already graduating… Time really flies.”
Misaki spoke in the tone of a mother who raised me for a long time. Seeing her pretending to wipe away her tears, it seemed like she was playing a joke. Almighty Emperor also said with a nod of his head.
“That’s right. You’re graduating, time really flies. You don’t know what the world really is. It seems like yesterday that you asked me to do it by hand, but I already made three women.”
The past that came out of nowhere hit me hard in the back of the head. I held the Almighty’s hand and restrained her absurd remarks, feeling like I was going to have a hiccup. Misaki’s eyes were wide open from the side.
“No, over there Almighty.”
“Cow, you asked me to do it by hand?”
Misaki asked with her excited face. The Almighty Emperor nodded at her with her eyes closed, and she grinned at me.
“Okay. As he pointed at that hideous, terrifying object, he said to me: ‘If you don’t run your hands over this, I’ll kick you out of here!’”
“Oh my…”
Misaki covered her mouth and took a peek at her crotch, then blushed. She said in a small voice.
“I-I can touch you too…”
“Sir Almighty. Misaki really believes in you.”
“How are you? By the way, did you find our Misaki concert hall?”
She couldn’t get Misaki to perform in my imaginary world every time, so she was devising a plan to find her. Using the previous performance at the guild basement as a motif, I was thinking about the idea of having Misaki perform once a week at the guild basement.
“Ah yes. Right now, I’m thinking of having Misaki perform in the basement of the guild with a similar concept of guild member welfare.”
“Ah, when you say guild underground, you mean that concert hall?”
I nodded. It was something that had already been discussed with the guild leaders, including Lee Jun-hyeok.
I even thought about signing a contract with a company that holds the Japanese animation rights and officially making money from the guild through Misaki Hanagawa’s idol performances.
[Soohyun. But if we go there, our ark will wail in the underworld.]
Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok told such a story with very sad eyes, so it was eventually canceled, and the story was settled by Misaki giving a free performance for employee welfare with her own idol song + Korean song.
The timing is about once a week.
Misaki asked.
“Ah, then shall I sing a congratulatory song at the graduation ceremony today?”
“…I forgot to ask for permission in advance. Sorry.”
“Eh-!”
Misaki puffed out her cheeks as if she was slightly regretful. I’m glad you moved on to this one though.
