Miso is starting to get on Ichika's nerves. Just ignore his existence. Ignore him, ignore him.
"Where are you planning to get the hunter work experience?" One of her classmates asks her.
"Umm…either Anti-Kaijin, Lorenzo or Aasima." She replies.
"That's….those are the top three private agencies!" Her classmate exclaims. "Lorenzo is the agency created by S rank 4, Aurelia right?"
"Yes, yes." Ichika looks very proud of herself.
"Of course, with someone as strong as you, you should be able to join any of these organizations easily."
"I'm not giving up without getting into any of these organizations."
Hear that, Miso? This is what ambition is. Successfully joining any of these organizations is the equivalent to joining Harvard. It is not just a great job that the person gets, but proof that they are one of the most powerful Hunters in the world and have the potential to hit S tier.
Ichika looks towards Miso. 'I bet Miso is freaking out about me planning on joining one of the best organizations in the world.'
Miso looks more bored than ever. He tries sitting up and actively attempts to stay awake, but he keeps nodding off. "Snoooore-huh?!" He wakes up and looks confused.
"Oh…uhh….Snoooooore…." He falls asleep while sitting down. "HUH?!" He wakes up suddenly, then falls back asleep. "Snnooooooore."
THIS BOY IS ABSOLUTELY UNINTERESTED!
AAARRGH! Ichika's blood pressure increases just by watching him. Just pretend like she doesn't know of his existence.
How can someone be THIS lazy?
The door opens and two boys are standing outside. "Yo, Ichika."
BA-DUMP
Ichika's heart skips a beat. He's here. Wei Lim is there, leaning against the doorframe, staring at her with his icy grey eyes.
Miso is forgotten. She has an immediate urge to smile, and she tries very hard to prevent that from happening. "hmph. School starts in ten minutes. You should start coming earlier."
Wei's friend, Johann grins and says, "Awwww, do you want to spend more time with him? I dunno bro, that sounds-"
"Shut up." Ichika blushes and throws an eraser at him.
"Ow!" It hits Johann on the nose. "You're like those chimps that throw poop at each other when they get mad."
"Whatever, just give her the eraser, bro." Wei replies.
"You too? Why am I the weird guy here?"
Wei Lim and Johann sit across and behind Miso and start talking to each other.
"Ugggggggghh." Miso groans. Why can't he sleep peacefully just for a bit?
Johann says, "I didn't complete my math homework. Ichika, please give me your homework, dude. Please, the teacher's going to kill me if I don't submit this one."
"No way, baka." Ichika replies.
"Wei Lim, PLEASE!"
"No. Why don't you ever learn from your mistakes."
"Isn't someone going to help me?"
Even though Johann acts like a moron, he's easily one of the strongest people in this school. On par with Ichika and almost as strong as Wei Lim.
Miso feels a bit of jealousy like he always did being around them. Even though Johann gets terrible grades in school, with his ability: complete blood manipulation, he could easily join one of the top Universities.
Even without any practice, Johann has already reached the status of an F rank hunter.
Miso's been practicing really hard. For 8 years. Six hours of working out and three hours of Ability practicing. And he still couldn't kill an F rank monster yet. Of course, he's gotten better at sticking to walls and turning invisible whenever he wants and looking through security cameras. But those aren't fighting abilities. If anything, Miso's actually really good at avoiding monsters now. He just can't fight them. The only fighting tool he has are his bone swords.
Miso looks at Johann. He couldn't believe that the boy with the goofy, smiling face was the one who made an F rank tiger-demon implode into a cube of blood just a few weeks ago when it somehow managed to get inside the school grounds.
And Wei Lim…..Miso got sick just by glancing at him.
These three are going places.
"Dude, your name is Miso, right?" A voice from behind. Miso turns around and sees Johann staring at him eagerly.
"Uh…yeah?" Miso is surprised. Nobody talks to him, especially not the popular kids.
"Have you completed your math homework?"
"Stop asking from others." Ichika is annoyed. "Miso, don't give him your homework." She tells him. As much she doesn't like talking to Miso, she had to say it to him.
"Umm…I've done a bit of the homework." Miso replies to Johann. "How much have you done?"
"Questions 1 and 3."
Miso's eyes widen. "Dude, I did question 2 and 4, the last one."
"BRO!" Johann looks at Miso like he's God.
"BRO!" Miso looks at Johann like he's God.
"Unbelievable." Ichika is disgusted by these two. "Do you guys have no work ethic?"
"Here, you can copy my paper, I'll copy from yours." Miso walks up to Johann.
"THANK YOU BRO!!" Johann looks ecstatic.
Wei Lim looks completely uninterested in them. Ichika's blood only boils as she looks at them.
Johann and Miso start copying from each other.
"Prepared for the Junior Hunter test?" Wei Lim asks Johann.
Miso has. He's been training for about three years for this test. He's been conditioning himself physically.
"I don't need to train." Johann yawns. "The test is going to be a piece of cake for me."
"Heh, same here." Ichika replies.
"Wait, you've been practicing for it?" Johann asks Wei Lim. "You're like, the strongest in the school. Why even practice?"
"I haven't, dude." Wei Lim replies. "It's like you said. Piece of cake."
A grin forms on Miso's mouth. He'll show them how hard he's been practicing. He'll show them that someone with zero defense and barely any offence can become a hunter too.
Silence….
The only sound that could be heard were that of pens scratching on paper.
Finally, Miso finishes copying. "That's all, dude. Thanks." Miso finishes his homework.
"No problem. Thank you to you too." Johann says.
Miso walks to his seat and sits down.
There's only one thing in his mind. The Junior Hunter exam. He needs to pass this to get some work experience and join the AAD University.
The Exam will take place, outside. In the field during the lunch break. And since the students and teachers have nothing better to do, they'll all be watching.
Practically the entire school will be there to watch them. He starts shivering with anticipation.
Everyone will be watching Miso compete with some of the strongest students in school.
He'll show all of them.
