The S-classes that I Raised

Han Yoohyun and Sung Hyunjae. The two people stared at me. Yoohyun had an expression that said ‘let’s just talk separately’, and Sung Hyunjae had a gleam in his eyes that said ‘quickly spill it’.

While sitting down, I let the silence sit for a moment before opening my mouth.

“It may be a surprising topic, but what do you think of Awakening Centers?”

“Awakening Centers?”

There were expressions asking why that was suddenly coming up.

“Yes. It should be about three months until the announcement. Right now should be the height of the interior facilities construction. If it is possible, could I hear an explanation about the Awakening Center facilities?”

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t know. Just how many times, and how detailedly, did they explain on TV? At my words, the two people exchanged gazes for a moment. The one who opened his mouth was Sung Hyunjae.

“The core of the Awakening Centers is an A-Rank item, Illusion Maze. It’s a mind-related item that shows someone an illusion similar to reality. But for mind-related items or types of skills, if your Mental stat is even a little high, it often doesn’t work. Even as an E-Rank, apparently you feel a sense of separation. But if the targets are Unawakened People, it can safely and realistically threaten them and make them Awaken.”

The Awakening Center’s method of Awakening was simple. It showed you an illusion of being attacked by monsters and made you Awaken. It wasn’t that there weren’t any cases where people received a psychological blow, but it was a comparatively safe and accurate method.

And obviously, most were Awakened with combat skills, possibly combat assistance skills. Since it was Awakening from trying to survive monsters.

“It takes an average of 17 minutes for one person to Awaken, and there is a limit of 30 minutes since psychological problems can occur. Currently, there’s a total of five Illusion Mazes that the Association possesses and each one can apply illusions to up to thirty people at once.”

“Then in approximately thirty minutes, one hundred and fifty people could Awaken.”

“It isn’t 100% Awakening, so in actuality, it should be a little less than that, but I heard that they’re planning on initially increasing the number of Awakened People to a thousand per day, and within half a year, up to three thousand.”

Even if it was just a thousand people per day, if it was ten days, it would be ten thousand, one month, thirty thousand. If it was the same as the future’s ratio, one out of a hundred of those twenty thousand, two thousand, would qualify to be a Hunter.

On top to that, did the initial thousand people only go for about two days? At people’s insistence, it rose to three thousand, even four thousand in an instant. They didn’t rest on holidays either. The news headline at that time: The number of Awakened People in the Awakening Center’s opening first month exceeded hundred thousand!

It meant that in one month, as much as a thousand novice Hunters had poured out. As a person who had been involved in the center of that chaos, I couldn’t help but unconsciously frown.

“Don’t you think that is too many? Even now, dungeons are being sufficiently and safely managed.”

“Even if you said it was thirty thousand every month, there would only be ten among them with usable combat power. Practically speaking, you can’t say it’s a lot.”

……That’s, well. That was right. In that person’s eyes, you had to be at least B-Rank to be usable. Even socially, you had to be C~D-Rank for people to go ‘oh, you’re a Hunter’. Even speaking of F-Rank me, I was painted with the stereotype of being F-Rank, so there was no point in saying more.
