I Didn't Want This Kind Of High Teen Possession (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 2
The universities Mr. Jason recommended were places I’d never even heard of.
Right—coming from Korea, if I’d heard of an American university, it’d probably be some truly elite school.
Mr. Jason’s suggestions fell far short of my expectations. They left me wondering if I might as well give up on college altogether and just go find a job.
“…I’ve finally reincarnated into a high school drama, and yet I can’t even get into an Ivy League school or have a romance?”
Then why in the world did I reincarnate into this place?!
At least give me something worthwhile so I can happily adjust to this world!!
Brainwashed by academic elitism, I felt I wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than the Ivy League.
‘Besides, Juno’s older brother is even attending HarXard.’
My head was too jumbled right now— I’d deal with the matter of Juno’s brother later.
Anyway, at that moment, I was stepping out into the hallway after my very first career counseling session, clutching brochures for universities whose names I didn’t even recognize.
Suddenly, dark storm clouds rolled in from outside the hallway windows, and with a loud crack, lightning struck.
Was this what they meant by the heavens and earth being overturned?
I stood there, mouth agape, staring at the sky writhing with bizarre sounds.
In an instant, pitch-black clouds blanketed the sky, and right before my eyes, something vividly blue appeared with a soft *ting*.
[SYSTEM: Passive skill unlocked.]“What… what is this?”
I jumped back in shock. Meanwhile, the words in the status window kept changing rapidly.
[Passive Skill: (A).] [While is active, your presence vanishes. No one can sense you.Activation chance: 50%]
…Who’s messing with me?
The status window that had suddenly appeared before me seemed to be mocking my situation.
Yeah, right. I’m an extra with no presence, someone who can’t even get into HarXard—because I’m just a ginger nerd in a supporting role. But did they really have to hit me right where it hurt? Huh?
My anger at feeling ridiculed lasted only a moment before I froze in place.
‘Wait a second… A status window?’
I blinked, staring at the floating blue window before my eyes.
This is a high school drama world—why is a status window like in a video game popping up?
If status windows appear here, doesn’t that mean the genres are getting mixed…?
During the whole year I’d been reincarnated into this world, genres had never once mixed.
So why was this sudden change happening now…?
While I was deep in thought, dark clouds outside the window gathered around a single point like the eye of a typhoon.
And far off in the sky, a black gate opened.
Seeing that sight, I couldn’t help but gulp.
“Damn it….”
I couldn’t hold back the curse.
It was just too perfectly, utterly unfair.
[This is the timeline separator]People saw the black hole in the sky and named it a ‘Gate.’
And a Gate had opened even in the fictional state of Connecticut where I lived.
Right above a company near my school, in fact.
That meant the drama genre I’d known had now fused with another.
Thus was born the American high school hunter genre.
A genre I’d never even heard of before.
As it turned out, the Gate that opened over Connecticut wasn’t an isolated incident.
Gates opened simultaneously in other countries too, and in some places, monsters poured out en masse, leveling entire cities.
They called it the ‘Monster Wave.’
From that day on, news reports every day detailed Gate situations around the world.
Most reports said national leaders had tried leading armies to close the Gates, but to no avail.
Naturally, in a hunter story, closing Gates was the job of ‘Hunters’—those who had awakened.
The first person in this world to close a Gate was an awakened individual from New Zealand.
Wellington, New Zealand had suffered an especially severe Monster Wave. The awakened person who went in alone to close the monster-spewing Gate became this world’s first Hunter.
The first Hunter, who returned alive from the Gate, declared:
[Through the Gate in the sky, I entered a strange world. You can close the Gate by fulfilling that world’s requirements or by defeating its boss monster. Gates are doorways to worlds unknown to us.]People decided to call the other world beyond the Gate a ‘Dungeon.’
Another world—it sounded absurd, but there was no choice but to believe it.
Proof lay in the orc’s left arm the first Hunter brought back from the Dungeon and the perfectly clear sky over Wellington after the Gate vanished.
After the news from Wellington, the first group to officially register as Hunters and begin formal operations was an awakened guild from Korea.
International media marveled at their swift administrative response.
Like roasting beans in a lightning flash, Korea immediately proposed relevant legislation, and Koreans rushed to welfare centers to report their awakenings and began working as Hunters—portrayed as heroes of the planet.
‘Ah, welfare centers… Truly, the land of resident registration cards.’
Truly, the ‘ppalli-ppalli’ nation—absolutely terrifying speed.
I nearly shed a tear hearing the distant, imaginary voice of my homeland, but I held it back.
‘Yeah, no need to cry. The Gate that just appeared right in front of me is a far more serious problem.’
If monsters came pouring out of the Connecticut Gate right now, we’d be doomed with no chance to escape.
After the official emergence of ‘Hunters’ in New Zealand and Korea, nations worldwide split into two camps: those wanting to incorporate Hunters into their military, and those who resisted it.
The United States leaned toward the latter.
Even the army led by the U.S. President had tried to eliminate the Gate but ended up wasting nothing but bullets.
As I listened daily to the breaking news flooding in, I opened my own status window.
“…I’m technically A-rank, but I don’t even have a proper active skill yet, and I haven’t fully awakened. But what if I accidentally reveal that I’m an A-rank awakened and get conscripted?”
Fortunately, it seemed only I could open my own status window—and only I could view others’ status windows.
As mentioned, I could see other people’s status windows.
Specifically, character info panels displaying their name, age, skills, and awakening rank.
Right after awakening at school, I’d been able to scroll through the status windows of kids in the hallway—but they had no idea I could see my own, let alone theirs.
Being able to view others’ status windows was my exclusive privilege.
‘Since my only skill is , this ability to see status windows probably isn’t my skill… So why am I such an odd case? Is this some special consideration for reincarnators or something?’
In any case, it was fortunate that nobody else knew I was an awakened.
I’d been worried I’d be dragged into the military against my will.
‘I’d better keep this hidden. Other awakened will surely close the U.S. Gate. This place has a decent population—surely if Korea could close their Gate instantly, they’ll manage here too?’
No matter how awakened I was, what could a frail girl like me possibly do?
So while Hunters diligently worked to close Gates, I decided I’d just live quietly like a mouse and focus on figuring out how to get into an Ivy League school.
But then….
“I, Julia Kim, promise to stake everything I have to close all Gates spreading across the United States and the entire globe.”
Huh?
I turned to the TV, where a special news bulletin showed the fictional U.S. President delivering a solemn speech.
President Julia Kim, a Korean-American.
Despite the double disadvantage of being East Asian and a woman, she’d become U.S. President and had consistently championed higher education throughout her political career with incredible academic zeal.
She’d even frequently praised Korean high schoolers for their after-school studying and private tutoring, often bringing up related data.
How could someone like her be president? What on earth was going to happen to this country…?
But what exactly was this woman trying to say?
On screen, Kim adjusted her red-rimmed glasses and continued.
“We’re currently assembling a team of awakened individuals to close the Gates. However, the number of awakened is severely lacking. Of course, we believe many have not reported their awakenings.”
My stomach twisted.
She was speaking directly about me. And she was finally acknowledging the existence of Hunters, whom she’d previously dismissed.
…Still, I’ll ignore it. My goal is to live quietly, get into a prestigious university, and live comfortably.
Surely they wouldn’t go so far as to forcibly hunt down awakened individuals, would they?
Fortunately, Julia didn’t seem to intend such inhumane conscription.
Just as I was about to sigh in relief, Julia’s black eyes gleamed strangely.
“I will establish a bonus point system for university admissions, exclusively for awakened high school students in 10th grade and above. Contributions toward closing lower-tier Gates under the supervision of adult awakened will be reflected in their academic records.”
What did she say?
“Adult awakened will receive financial rewards for Hunter activities, while student awakened will be guaranteed corresponding bonus points.”
I was utterly shocked.
On closer look, Julia Kim’s eyes had clearly snapped under the pressure of impending national collapse.
Her black pupils shimmered with madness—so intense it was visible even through the TV screen.
That day, Julia Kim’s speech was reposted endlessly across newspapers, online media, and Outstagram.
Special bonus points for awakened applicants at Ivy League and other prestigious universities!
It wasn’t exactly what I’d wished for—but still….
My completely derailed path was finally starting to straighten out again.
[This is the timeline separator]“Hey, Ginger!”
I snapped my head up at the call.
Before me was a group of sweaty boys playing soccer on the school field.
A Gate had literally opened in the same state—how could they still be playing soccer? Were they calmly carefree… or was their brains filled only with soccer balls?
The boys lazily waved at me.
“Hey, Ginger. Kick the ball back, will you?”
I looked down at the soccer ball that had rolled to my feet.
I’d been lost in thought about the past when it apparently came flying in.
From afar, I heard them muttering.
“But wait—what’s her name again? Is she even in our grade? Was there really someone like her at our school?”
“Who cares? My brain only remembers pretty girls anyway.”
Tittering laughter and dull jokes.
In this world, I was either invisible, just “Ginger” passing by, or one of the nerdy trio.
Should I flip off those shameless faces? My efforts to graduate school peacefully seemed finished anyway—maybe I didn’t need to hold back my temper anymore….
Just as I raised my hand to extend my middle finger, someone behind me called out.
“Juno, there you are. I’ve been waiting.”
It was Mr. Charlie.
His dark, tightly curled hair. His stick-thin body looked like it might collapse any moment.
Mr. Charlie quickly wiped the sweat from his temples, as if he’d just sprinted over.
Meanwhile, I instinctively hid my hand behind my back and smiled.
“No, I wasn’t waiting. Did you talk well with Ms. Jina?”
“Yes. She was surprised to hear you’d suddenly become awakened… and got so excited she went off to gather the other awakened students.”
“I see.”
“She’ll probably gather them all in the gym. Come along with me.”
“Okay.”
After storming into the faculty office and revealing I was awakened, Ms. Jina had cheered.
Ignoring the soccer ball at my feet, I walked toward the gym with Mr. Charlie and opened my status window.
Ms. Jina’s rank was C-grade.
She was also a Healer.
Given she’d been the school nurse before, the role suited her perfectly.
Since I’d checked her status info while in the faculty office earlier, I could still open her status window even though she wasn’t here now.
“By the way, what did you say your ability was again? A-grade, right?”
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”
I couldn’t help but inflate my rank—what if they’d completely ignored me if I’d said D or F?
Mr. Charlie and the other teachers had cheered just hearing my rank, without asking for further details.
‘I don’t know for sure, but A-grade must be pretty rare around here.’
Then, would the awakened students Ms. Jina gathered in the gym all be lower-ranked than me?
I hadn’t had time to check all the students’ status windows yet.
I’d open and examine each one carefully once I met them at the gym.
“Do you happen to know who else Ms. Jina mentioned as awakened?”
“Oh, yes.”
Mr. Charlie nodded.
“I heard Adrian Roy Coleman is one of them.”
“…Huh? Adrian?”
I stopped dead in my tracks, utterly stunned.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
