I Got the Academy Morale Rune

Chapter 160 – Strike Back (1)

A complete capture of the ‘smuggling cave’.

And after blocking the attack of 〈 Villain 〉.

We quickly returned to Korea without a break.

‘I thought the academy would be attacked too.’

It was because of the information that the academy was also attacked while we were attacked by Cha Soo-yeon and Ji Yoon-jae.

Upon returning home, he received a lot of help from the 〈 man’s condition 〉 clan, a cooperative clan.

Kenzo Shimizu and Miyu Akiba actively assisted us, and additional staff were also assigned.

A total of 9 〈 Villain 〉 Clan members moved to Seoul through a special escort for holder criminals, and they were transferred to the Korea Holder Association as they were.

And the party members who were scattered to their respective affiliations.

Without looking further, I ran straight to the academy.

In the academy, which was in chaos due to the raid, there was Professor Tak Won-ho, who guarded the campus alone.

“Master… !!”

As soon as I saw him, I ran.

Instead of the usual ‘professor’, the title ‘teacher’ came out.

Even so, his condition was unreasonable.

There was a large sword scar on the chest, and bloodstains and wounds were engraved here and there.

Needless to say, there were countless scratches all over the upper body.

In a word, a body that has become a wreck.

It was a physical state that showed signs of intense battle.

Anger rises from head to toe.

I was angry that I was attacked in the ‘smuggling cave’, but seeing the academy attacked and the people around me injured, my fever soared.

I clenched my fist and asked him.

“Which… What kind of dog is it? Right now… “

“Calm down.”

Then Professor Tak Won-ho calmed me down with a rather calm tone.

He is a very experienced and senior holder with a long career.

Even under these circumstances, he never lost his composure.

Thanks to that, I was able to calm myself down.

I must have been extremely excited about Master’s serious injury, which I had never seen before.

“The important thing is after now. I survived anyway.”

Professor Tak Won-ho asked me with a calm face.

“Okay. Did you find all the on-site evidence in Japan and catch the attacking villains?”

“… That’s right. In particular, this site is a new trading place for villains, and it seems that it can hit them quite hard in terms of finances at the same time as the arrest.”

“Good job. You did a really great job. Thanks to that, the villain side will be in a hurry as well.”

Kiik-

At the same time, the door to the professor’s office opened.

And soon three professors came in.

They were familiar faces.

Yoo Eun-seol, whom I had not seen for a while, Kim Myung-hyeon with a rather dark expression, and a professor with a face I had never seen before came in at once.

The last professor, like Tak Won-ho, had a huge wound on his arm.

It seemed that he was probably a professor who had been attacked in the academy.

“Ah….”

When I saw them, I immediately got up and bowed my head.

Yoo Eun-seol and Professor Kim Myung-hyeon accepted the greeting by raising their hands.

The academy’s head-level personnel and the current academy’s strongest powerless person.

The characters that are hard to see were gathered together.

For a moment, I wondered if it was okay for me to be in a position with such outstanding professors.

“I heard the news.”

Yoo Eun-seol, who came in first, opened her mouth.

Her complexion did not look very good.

Presumably, it’s because I came this far and saw the victims of the academy with my own eyes.

Yoo Eun-seol has a cold and stiff image on the outside, but in reality, she is a holder with a lot of affection and a warm heart.

She hadn’t shown it outwardly, but she must have had a lot of affection for the students she taught and for me.

But in her timing when she vacated her seat, many of her were killed and wounded in her attack.

Even in her original work, she is the one who developed her hostility towards 〈 Villain 〉 due to ‘her academy raid operation’…

Now that she has become an instructor herself, the feelings are bound to be more intense.

“It must have happened while I wasn’t there.”

At that word, Professor Tak Won-ho bowed his head lightly.

“Sorry. This is an obvious management mistake. I guess… It seems that the spy has infiltrated deep within the academy. Seeing how Yu Eun-seol Holder took advantage of her break in on a business trip and attacked them like a lie.”

There are 〈 villains and 〉 spies in the academy.

This isn’t just for students.

Obviously, there were spies hiding in the management and faculty.

At the end of the first semester, during the attempted murder case of An Do-kwon, the supervisors were absurdly weak and complacent.

During the Kim Do-yoon raid at the beginning of the second semester, the fact that I, Moon Ga-eun, and Kim Do-yoon became a team like a lie.

In addition, in various cases involving 〈 Villain 〉…

A number of unclear points were found.

That means there are definitely spies on the management side as well.

There was no specific information about this in the original.

The reason I passionately participated in the investigation during this Japanese expedition was also to properly arrest these undisclosed spies.

“As it is late, I will actively participate in the future plans of the academy. I cannot stand by and watch the social evil that treats innocent students and ordinary people so mercilessly.”

Yoo Eun-seol said as if declaring.

〈 Yoo Eun-seol’s hostility toward Villain 〉.

That emotion in her snowballed into her and triggered her unexpected decision.

From her academy’s point of view, since she was recruited as her simple instructor, there was no particular justification for putting her in her combat force, but she was extremely satisfied when she actively came out like this.

Professor Tak Won-ho nodded and looked away.

“Professor Kang. May I ask for an explanation?”

“Yes.”

Among the three professors who had just entered the professor’s office, he was the first professor he had ever seen.

“My name is Kang Dong-wook, a full-time special education professor.”

Oh

The name flashed in my mind for a moment.

Dongwook Kang.

I definitely remember hearing it.

In the original work, he was unknown because he did not have much importance, but after coming here, I heard that he was a pretty influential academy professor.

He is one of the most outstanding authorities in the field of summoning (taming), and he was a celebrity receiving intensive attention in the academic world.

In particular, since Kim Chae-eun has a lot of interest in these famous holders, it seemed that she had heard of them several times through her.

“As you may have heard, this incident is a large-scale raid involving a number of Villain Clan members, including Hwang Seong-yeon, the deputy master of the Villain Clan. And, as I have heard additionally, it is also a diversionary operation that attacked our academy students who were sent to Japan at the same time.”

Professor Kang Dong-wook put a report and a cell phone on the table.

And he played a video.

In the video, a mysterious rainbow-colored item in the form of a crystal ball was reflected.

“The item you are looking at now is an item called Order of Convergence. It is a special item owned by the academy that is secretly buried externally, and it is also an item that is evaluated as having enormous potential value in related fields.”

[Order of Convergence].

This time, the name of an item I had never heard of came up.

Considering Professor Kang Dong-wook’s class and position, it must have been a special item specialized for the summoning class.

“This item was what the villain was aiming for in this raid. They infiltrated the academy and took the item without fail, even taking the most risks.”

Professor Kang Dong-wook calmly continued.

“The potential value of the order of convergence is enormous. Even I, a professional researcher, have not been able to bring out its original abilities yet, and it is a legendary item with many unknown abilities sealed.”

Certain items sometimes require a lot of effort to unlock their true power.

Even with the [Slate of the Forgotten Dragon] That I had right now, it took a considerable amount of time and mana stones to unlock the seal.

The item [Order of Convergence] That I learned about this time also seemed to have been sealed with such a property.

“I don’t know how much this item can be used in the villain clan, and how much power it can draw. Right now, our research team has not been able to figure out its true power. However, one thing is for sure… “

Professor Kang Dong-wook’s eyes sank as he brought out the last words.

“When you draw all of that power, you never know what will happen.”

An attack by a normal person controlled by a monster.

If not, such a catastrophe may be possible.

Professor Kang Dong-wook was assuming the worst case.

“So we have to pack up our forces as soon as possible and get this item back from the villain.”

“How?”

Yoo Eun-seol asked him.

I mean, it’s easy.

Retrieve stolen items, and take revenge on 〈 Villain 〉.

If it could be done, it would have been done long before now.

However, no one knows the home base of 〈villain 〉.

As it is composed of point organizations, even the lowest clan members do not know their base…

The clan leaders move their residences using various illegal items.

Because they couldn’t find the exact location, the association and each clan hadn’t been able to carry out an eradication operation.

However, Professor Kang Dong-wook’s expression was firm as if he were confident.

“It’s through this guy.”

Professor Kang Dong-wook spread his hand.

When I saw that, I tilted my head.

‘What is this guy?’

Because there was nothing in that hand that I saw for the first time.

But when I looked closer, I saw something.

Kang Dong-wook slowly extended his hand.

On top of that, something like a very fine dot was caught in my field of vision.

It was something completely unnoticeable unless you looked really closely.

“This guy is an F-class monster called Bug, a special small monster that can only be found in the Insect Habitat Dungeon.”

F-class monster, bug.

He is a monster name that has never been hunted or heard of.

Professor Kang Dong-wook looked around at the monster he had never seen before and continued.

“As you can see, this friend is so small that it is difficult to recognize his shape with the naked eye, and since he has no magic power in his body, it is difficult to detect even with magic detection.”

That was proved only by the fact that the faculty gathered here and I did not know of its existence.

Of course, I don’t know if that’s an advantage because there’s almost no killing power.

“In case of emergency, I always attached a trained bug to the Order of Convergence item. Perhaps this is the part that Hwang Seong-yeon, the villain who stole the item, did not notice.”

After hearing that, I could understand why Kang Dong-wook brought up such an outrageous story.

The fact that the item wasn’t simply taken away, but something special was set up.

It seems like you’re trying to appeal to him…

In fact, that alone is not enough of an explanation.

“There is no magic power in the body. Does that mean anything? There’s no way to communicate the location anyway.”

It is difficult to find because there is no magic power.

In other words, it was like there was no way to find him on this side either.

Even if it’s a trained monster.

[Summoning] A tamed monster is one of the battle methods for tamed holders, but that doesn’t mean you can figure out the tamed monster’s current location.

Monster training was done with a kind of contract and high intimacy, not a binding relationship.

However, Professor Kang Dong-wook shook his head at my question.

“There is a way. Instead of having no fighting power, they have some characteristics that only they have. Because that’s what bugs have.”

“Is it special?”

Professor Kang Dong-wook answered this slowly.

“That’s right. Bugs are small and weak, but there are many of them, so they are active monsters in communication with their kind. Because of this, even though they do not have magical powers, they allow their kind to know their direction and location through special signals.”

“Ah… !!”

When the explanation came out.

Everyone gathered in the professor’s office was amazed.

It was because only then did everyone realize what Professor Kang Dong-wook was trying to say and what it meant.

“In other words, through the Order of Convergence item that has this bug… We plan to find out where the villain is.”

A seemingly useless monster.

By training it, he planted a spy to locate 〈 Villain 〉.

Made with monster training…

It was a kind of biometric GPS.
