“…………???”

What is this?

Kang Seo-jun reread Kim Ju-hee’s message history, doubting his eyes.

No matter how he looked at it, the content was as it appeared.

It was as if multiple personalities were fighting over a single identity.

Of course, Kim Ju-hee didn’t have any dissociative identity disorder.

It seemed she had overthought each message.

Was Kim Ju-hee really the type to send messages with such deliberation?

No, that couldn’t be.

Kim Ju-hee wasn’t the type to care about how others perceived or thought of her.

Therefore, her usual speech was mostly direct, blunt, and sometimes even felt cold.

And this Kim Ju-hee spent 20-30 minutes deliberating over a single message to a student?

As far as Kang Seo-jun, a veteran of the [Grand Hunter Academy], knew, Kim Ju-hee was definitely not the type to be so meticulous with her words.

“…No way.”

Except for one possibility…

“…But does that even make sense?”

The only time Kim Ju-hee would be so careful with her words was when she was talking to someone she liked.

“…The instructor likes me…? That doesn’t make any sense????”

Is this a bug?

Kang Seo-jun stood in front of the mirror with a dumbfounded expression.

A familiar monster stared back at him from the mirror.

“Well… I can understand Se-rin or Eun-ha…”

They shared many memories and emotions from the previous timeline through the ‘Record of Fate,’ so it made sense that they would have mutual feelings.

“But the instructor likes me???? What??????”

Even I would have nightmares if I looked at myself for too long???

Moreover, the last time Kim Ju-hee saw him, he still had [Hunchback], [Twisted Arm], and [Clubfoot].

So, she fell for him when he looked even more monstrous than he does now.

“Is that even possible????”

Is she someone who sees extreme potential?

Is it true that women don’t care about men’s looks as much???

No, that can’t be.

It’s just that Kim Ju-hee is special.

“Sigh… No… According to the original setting, it’s not entirely impossible.”

In the setting of [Grand Hunter Academy], Kim Ju-hee’s ideal type was a capable man.

But she didn’t just look at current abilities; she considered future potential as well.

Moreover, Kim Ju-hee had a special skill.

The skill 《Potential Assessment》.

A powerful skill that allowed her to intuitively gauge the potential of others.

It had a critical drawback of being usable only twice a month, but it was an excellent ability for an academy instructor.

Kim Ju-hee, who once dreamed of becoming an S-rank hunter and fought on the front lines, obtained this skill while contemplating retirement after realizing her limits in a battle with a [Legendary] grade boss monster. She then transitioned to becoming an academy instructor.

That day marked a change not only in her profession but also in her life goals.

From ‘becoming an S-rank hunter’ to ‘personally nurturing hunters of S-rank or higher.’

How did Kang Seo-jun appear in Kim Ju-hee’s eyes?

What did Kim Ju-hee see when she used the skill 《Potential Assessment》 on Kang Seo-jun?

What level of potential did she see in him?

“I’m curious too.”

◆Status:

[Strength: 10], [Agility: 11]

[Endurance: 10], [Resistance: 9]

[Health: 11], [Mana: 11]

[Sense: 10], [Intelligence: 11]

[Willpower: 32], [Luck: 50]

◆Traits:

[Eyes of Providence Lv. Transcendence], [Dimensional Shop Lv. Transcendence], [Favored One Lv. Transcendence], [Downtown Reconstruction Serum (Full Body) Lv. Legendary], [Mana Manipulation Lv. Rare+], [Light Attribute Magic Lv. Rare], [Dark Attribute Magic Lv. Rare], [Spirit Resonance (Earth) Lv. Rare]

◆Skills:

[Counter Time Lv. Epic], [Parasitic Growth Lv. Epic], [Basic Mana Manipulation Lv. Low], [Dispel Lv. Normal], [Earth Spirit Magic Lv. Normal]

Kang Seo-jun’s current trait and skill setup possessed higher potential than any previous playthrough.

As a playable character, Kang Seo-jun had reached not only S-rank but also EX-rank, surpassing even SSS-rank multiple times.

This setup, designed with the concept of infinite potential, must have appeared dazzling in Kim Ju-hee’s eyes.

“Precisely, I can’t say… but it must have been more than enough to catch her interest.”

She must have seen potential in Kang Seo-jun that far exceeded any SS-rank hunter she had ever encountered.

“Then when exactly did this happen?”

Though curious, it wasn’t particularly important.

What mattered now was realizing that Kim Ju-hee had an interest in him.

‘What should I reply?’

The deliberation was brief.

Since Instructor Kim Ju-hee suggested meeting today, he needed to set up an appointment.

[Kang Seo-jun: Good morning, Instructor Kim Ju-hee.]

He was about to ask when she was available today, but her reply came back in less than a second.

[Kim Ju-hee: You’re up early despite the academy being on break. Good discipline.]

The heroines all reply quickly.

[Kim Ju-hee: Ah. I replied immediately because I happened to be reading the news on my phone.]

[Kim Ju-hee: I wasn’t constantly checking the chat room or anything.]

[Kim Ju-hee: Hmm.]

.

.

[Kim Ju-hee: Deleted message…]

[Kim Ju-hee: Deleted message…]

[Kim Ju-hee: So, did you see my message?]

“…………”

‘…You were watching the chat.’

Surely, she wasn’t watching all night…?

[Kang Seo-jun: Yes. A special consultation. I can meet today.]

Of course, the consultation was likely just an excuse.

There must be another reason she wanted to see Kang Seo-jun.

But Kang Seo-jun continued the chat, pretending to know nothing.

[Kang Seo-jun: I’ll come to you. Where should I go?]

[Kim Ju-hee: No need for that. I have a car, so I’ll come to you. Where should I go?]

[Kang Seo-jun: Hmm. Could you come to the physical training hall? I’ll be spending the morning and afternoon there.]

[Kim Ju-hee: Training from the morning. Very commendable. Alright, got it. Have you had breakfast?]

[Kang Seo-jun: Not yet. I was about to go to the cafeteria.]

[Kim Ju-hee: If it’s alright, I’ll buy you breakfast. I’ll pick you up by 7.]

Huh? She’s buying breakfast?

What should I do? I already promised to have breakfast with Se-rin.

Should I ask if Se-rin can come along?

Just then.

– Click! –

“Seo-jun! I’m here!”

Speak of the devil.

Se-rin entered the dormitory.

‘She said she’d come at 7, but she’s early.’

Kang Seo-jun glanced at the time.

It was 6:35 AM.

‘I haven’t even showered yet, and she’s here so early.’

“Seo-jun! …Huh…?”

The sound of footsteps stopped abruptly with a gasp.

“Ah.”

Right.

‘This is the first time Se-rin is seeing me like this.’

From a hunchback abomination to a bulked-up chainsaw killer overnight, it’s no wonder she didn’t recognize me.

I should have told her in advance, but I forgot.

Kang Seo-jun turned to face Jin Se-rin.

Her wide eyes darted between his face and his phone.

She probably didn’t recognize him.

As he pondered how to explain.

“What?”

Jin Se-rin spoke first.

“What happened?”

“Hmm? Ah, Se-rin. Well…”

“Seo-jun, why are you texting Instructor Kim Ju-hee?”

“…Huh?”

‘Wait. That?’
