Chapter 75 - Hyena (2)
I Became an Academy Overpowered Growth Genius – 75
EP.75 Hyena (2)
A wide tree-lined road leading to the academy’s main building.
– Vroom…. –
A black Rolls-Royce sedan passed by Kang Seo-jun.
“…”
Kang Seo-jun watched the receding sedan with indifferent eyes.
He saw a familiar face in the back seat, staring at him with surprised eyes.
‘Li Xiaoming?’
To Kang Seo-jun, a veteran player of the game [Grand Hunter Academy], Li Xiaoming was a very familiar figure.
‘As expected, as soon as Park Shin-hoo retires, the hyenas come flocking.’
Li Xiaoming could be considered the Chinese version of Park Shin-hoo.
While their characters weren’t exactly the same, their hatred of losing to others and their irredeemable villainy were identical.
‘He’s probably after the Fruit of the Sun.’
If a foreigner transferred at this time, the purpose was obvious.
Their goal was to legally take Korea’s ‘Fruit of the Sun’ and produce at least one more S-rank Hunter for their country.
In the original [Grand Hunter Academy], whenever a domestic promising candidate retired, foreign forces would send their promising candidates as transfers to seize the ‘Fruit of the Sun.’
‘But that’s not going to happen. The Fruit of the Sun is mine.’
And not just Korea’s fruit.
Kang Seo-jun planned to seize the ‘Fruit of the Sun’ from China and Japan as well when he grew to S-rank or higher.
‘Even if they are promising candidates, at best, they’re B-rank. A few flies buzzing around pose no threat.’
After all, Kang Seo-jun had already faced and killed an A+-rank demon, Credo, in a one-on-one fight.
Moreover, he had gained much stronger physical abilities since then, so he was confident he could handle B-rank opponents.
‘I have skills and items on my side.’
Even without ‘Counter Time,’ there were thousands of ways to deal with them.
And Jin Se-rin had recently grown to [B] rank after her first awakening.
Such opponents would be dealt with by Jin Se-rin without Kang Seo-jun having to step in.
‘Come as much as you want. I’ll make you all end up like Park Shin-hoo.’
As he continued walking towards the main building with these thoughts,
– Ugh! –
– Zap! –
“…Oh! Ugh!”
Suddenly, a sharp pain as if his internal organs were being pulled out surged through his lower abdomen.
◆Trait:
[Acute Enteritis Lv. Lowest]
– Stagger! –
“Oh, oh!?”
As the intense pain caused Kang Seo-jun to stagger, Jin Se-rin, who was sitting on his shoulder, spread her arms to barely maintain her balance.
“Seo, Seo-jun?!”
“Just, just a moment… I’ll put you down.”
With trembling hands, Kang Seo-jun slowly lowered Jin Se-rin from his shoulder.
Once on the ground, Jin Se-rin looked at him with a worried expression.
“Are you okay? Should I get some medicine?”
Jin Se-rin had been with Kang Seo-jun long enough to get used to such situations.
Thanks to this, her bag was always filled with emergency medicine.
Each one was a high-quality pharmaceutical product bought from the dimensional shop, emergency medicines that Kang Seo-jun had entrusted to Jin Se-rin.
“Is it a headache? Or stomachache? Or neuralgia?”
Jin Se-rin quickly opened her bag and rummaged through the tightly packed medicine bottles.
Kang Seo-jun hurriedly waved his hand.
“No, it’s just… I need to… go to the bathroom.”
– Growl!!! –
“Ugh, ugh!”
Kang Seo-jun’s face turned as pale as a sheet in an instant.
Even with his willpower of 33, he was clenching his sphincter, but if he let his guard down even a little, he felt he would lose control immediately.
‘No, no…!’
Kang Seo-jun’s body was nearly three times that of an average person.
The contents in his lower abdomen were likewise tripled.
If he made a mistake here, the area would become an indescribable contamination zone.
Moreover, if he showed such a disgraceful sight in front of Jin Se-rin…
It wasn’t just the heroine’s favorability at stake but also the favorability of the constellations.
“Ahhhhhhh…!!!”
“Gasp!”
Seeing Kang Seo-jun’s rare expression of pain, Jin Se-rin quickly looked around for a bathroom.
Soon, she spotted a public restroom in a nearby park.
“There’s a bathroom over there!”
“Ugh, ugh!”
Kang Seo-jun hurriedly shuffled towards it.
Jin Se-rin stuck close to him, ready to support him at any moment.
“You can go to the classroom first…!”
“No! I’ll wait in front!”
“It might… take a while…! Ugh!”
“I’ll watch YouTube!”
“Okay, got it…!”
Kang Seo-jun quickened his steps towards the restroom.
He was still worried about the potential impact on his favorability due to the smell or noise, but he had no time to persuade Jin Se-rin further.
His sphincter’s endurance was reaching its limit.
“Ahhh! I’ll be quick!!!”
“Take your time~”

At the same time.
In a corner of the park at the Korean Hunter Academy.
“Sssss…!”
A man with blond hair and tanned skin deeply inhaled the surrounding air as if savoring it.
“Haaaaa….”
He exhaled deeply, almost like a sigh, and muttered.
“The stench of losers is overwhelming Wwwwwwww”
His name was Kuyamoto Kenji.
He was infamous as the problem child of the Kuyamoto family, known for their swordsmanship.
‘I saw a Chinese bastard earlier too. Li Xiaoming? Ah, just a [B-] trash. The other girls I need to worry about are only [C+] rank, right? Haa~ Snatching the Fruit of the Sun is going to be sooo easy~ Wwwww’
His confidence wasn’t baseless.
Though he lacked moral character, his talent in swordsmanship was at a genius level, and his Hunter rank had already reached [B].
Not a [B-] like Park Shin-hoo or Li Xiaoming, but a true [B] rank.
Moreover, Kuyamoto Kenji might soon be promoted to [B+] rank.
A [B+] rank student was among the top levels worldwide.
Kuyamoto Kenji was truly a swordsmanship genius recognized globally.
This was also why he could still walk freely in society despite having raped and murdered a fellow promising candidate in Japan.
‘It seems the old man went to great lengths to get me out of prison.’
The head of the Kuyamoto family had fabricated and manipulated the circumstances of Kenji’s crimes to get him out of prison.
He had falsified the rape as consensual sex between lovers and the premeditated murder as an unfortunate accident.
Through all sorts of manipulation and fabrication, Kenji was granted leniency and could return to society despite having killed someone.
All thanks to the head’s high regard for Kenji’s talent.
‘Well… I’m a man of conscience. If the old man did that much for me, I should repay him at least once. I’ll bring back the Fruit of the Sun as he wishes.’
But.
‘But that’s that.’
Kenji plopped down on a bench with a wicked smile.
‘I can’t spend my time boringly now that I’m in Korea, can I?’
His eyes turned to the women strolling through the park.
His gaze was like a sticky tongue licking them.
The women who received that gaze shuddered and quickened their steps.
“Wow! It’s a buffet~ Wwwww”
Despite almost being isolated from society for life due to murder, there wasn’t a hint of remorse in his mind.
Instead, he was cunningly planning his next crime.
‘The thing I want to pluck most isn’t the Fruit of the Sun.’
Kenji licked his lips lasciviously.
‘Jin Se-rin… and Lim Chae-won…’
They were the fruits he had marked when he came to Korea.
‘Ordinary women aren’t tasty. They only give monotonous reactions.’
In contrast, women in high positions like Jin Se-rin or Lim Chae-won were different.
‘There’s a pleasure in breaking such women.’
The higher something falls from, the more spectacularly it shatters.
‘Only such women can show truly despairing expressions.’
– Slurrrp. –
Kenji smacked his lips as if he was already salivating.
The thrill of breaking something was Kenji’s greatest driving force.
‘Haa… I’m looking forward to it… I can’t wait to see what expressions they’ll make when they’re under me… I can’t stand the curiosity. Wwwww’
He wanted to find them and attack them immediately.
In fact, with Kuyamoto Kenji’s specs, it was more than possible.
No matter how promising they were considered in Korea, they were nothing compared to Kuyamoto Kenji, a genius on a global level.
‘Haa… Tsk. But I have to hold back. If I cause trouble here again, even the old man would have a hard time saving me.’
Though he lived with a reckless mindset, he wasn’t entirely without caution.
‘The Fruit of the Sun is important for my future too.’
He needed it to continue reigning as a strong figure.
If he wanted to keep living as he pleased in the future, he had to maintain some boundaries, no matter how frustrating it was.
‘Well, that doesn’t mean I’ll be completely obedient and quiet.’
He intended to keep his desires in check, not suppress them entirely.
He would just change his methods to avoid causing problems.
He planned to hunt them throughout the semester.
‘So, as long as I don’t get caught, right?’
As long as he didn’t get caught, he could resort to assault, threats, deception, hypnosis, drugs, or anything else.
‘Once I get a proper hold on their weaknesses, breaking them will be quick. It’ll be very entertaining.’
No matter the means, he only needed to catch them off guard once.
Once he did, they wouldn’t be able to report him or seek help, no matter what he did.
He had become more cunning after overcoming a crisis.
‘I’m looking forward to my academy life…’
Just as he was thinking this and getting up from the bench,
“Huh?”
A beautiful girl, instinctively attracting male attention, caught Kenji’s eye.
She was giggling at her smartwatch in front of the restroom.
It was Jin Se-rin, waiting for Kang Seo-jun, who was dealing with his urgent bathroom situation, while watching Wackgood’s videos.
‘Whoa~? So lucky~!’
Kenji’s eyes widened with delight.
He hadn’t expected to encounter his prey so soon.
‘She looks even tastier in person.’
Kenji took a deep breath and scanned his surroundings.
It was almost time for classes to start, so most people had already left, and there were no CCTV cameras nearby.
‘So, so, so, so, so lucky~ Wwwwwww’
It was the perfect timing to casually greet his prey.
‘Shall I go have a little taste~’
Kenji licked his lips lecherously and slowly walked towards Jin Se-rin.
…Unaware that a monster suffering from Lloyd Rage in the restroom was glaring daggers at him…
