Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Chapter 102

There were no signs.

The body of the colleague who was guarding together was twisted in an instant and turned into a grotesque shape.

Security hunters heard an explanation prior to the demonstration, but could not respond.

It was because the association had kept secret about the lunatic money, and the low-level hunters who had been hurriedly recruited by Bae Seung-ju heard the story on the same day.

“Seo, Sungmin?!”

“Ooh, wow!”

A colleague next to you can suddenly turn into a monster. Be vigilant with each other, and if you see any suspicious signs, subdue or eliminate them.

It was a story that was difficult for the body to accept even if the head understood it.

If they were unfamiliar with each other, the response was quick, but if they were already acquainted, they had no choice but to hesitate.

“Get your mind right!”

But fortunately, the strongest was by their side. Ju Taiji raised his voice as he removed the mutant at once.

Not only that, but the strongest players deployed in each district showed off their performance.

“I wonder if I should like this because it’s not wrong… .”

Pyo Ji-hoon was able to respond in advance because he saw the future with déjà vu. Hwang Ye-ri’s support shot pierced the mutant’s head with an arrow flying from the air.

“Such crap things… Did I need to come?”

Jung Joon-hyeok crushed the mutants and was disappointed with the level. If it wasn’t for Kang Tae-min, I wouldn’t have cooperated.

Yohanna was concentrating on device management, and Kang Tae-min handled the mutants with ease.

‘It reminds me of Yoo Ji-wan.’

This demonstration was more similar to Yoo Yu-rin’s uncle Yu Ji-wan’s mutation than the situation on Crown Island.

‘Is the detection device acting as a kind of trigger?’

At this point, wouldn’t it be more correct to view it as a mutation accelerator rather than a detection device?

Fortunately, the number of variants in range was not very large. Thanks to this, it took less than 10 minutes to organize all the mutants.

“gaga… thank you.”

Kang Tae-min only nodded lightly in gratitude to Hunter, who was fascinated by the smashed mutant.

It didn’t take long, but the shock the security hunters received was considerable.

The people who I thought were the same person a moment ago turned into monsters. It was not going to be easy to accept that fact.

＜What one!? Everyone move!＞

In the meantime, Bae Seung-joo’s screams came through the walkie-talkie. The association was still in the process of estimating the timing of public announcement of the variant.

Although it is said to be under control, there was a concern that the mutant would be noticed. Bae Seung-joo ordered the cleanup.

＜Will everyone gather around the device?＞

Johanna’s voice came over the radio. Kang Tae-min left the hunters with complicated feelings behind and headed for the detection device.

Except for Hwang Ye-ri, who could not reveal his identity, four people and Bae Seung-joo were waiting for him.

“Once, the effect is certain. Rather, we are ashamed of our response.”

With the help of the strongest, there were no victims. In other words, if there were no strong people, there would have been a victim.

Bae Seung-ju bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude again.

“I understand. I am a bit surprised that a normal person suddenly becomes such a monstrosity.”

Bae Seung-joo’s complexion relaxed a little at the words of Ju Tae-ji, who had never seen the mutant in person.

“I think I’ve done my job, so I’ll go.”

Jung Joon-hyeok glanced at Kang Tae-min and turned around. Knowing his usual behavior well, others did not stop him.

Bae Seung-joo changed the atmosphere by clearing his throat and continued.

“Hmm, now that the results are out, we will start mass production of the detection device.”

“I’ll hand over the blueprints and formulas. Why do you have this as a patent?”

“Thank you very much.”

At Johanna’s words, Bae Seung-joo bowed again. He meant that he would give up even though he could offer a huge reward if he wanted to.

“A moment before that.”

Kang Tae-min drew attention in such a good atmosphere. Everyone’s eyes were on him.

“We need to modify our response plan a bit.”

“Sensei Kang, what do you mean by that?”

Ju Taiji asked while stroking his beard.

“The people who mutated this time seemed fine until they were detected. As if he had no awareness that he would change.”

If you had expected that your identity would be revealed, you would have been victimized in the first wave.

Wouldn’t it be better to eliminate at least one enemy before they get caught? But the reality was not like that.

“Pyo Ji-Hoon, I think you would know since you are watching the mutants first. Can you give us your opinion?”

Pyo Ji-hoon was shocked when he was suddenly pointed out, but soon nodded with a serious face.

“exactly… It is as you say. I was looking ahead with my abilities, but there were no signs until it mutated.”

“then… Are you saying that mutants don’t know they’re going to mutate?”

“Well, maybe. The principle of my device is to induce mutation by forcibly stimulating the unique mana wavelength possessed by mutants. As an analogy, it is forcibly ending the incubation period.”

To Bae Seung-joo’s question, Johanna spit out smoke and answered.

“I’m sorry to say to the Headquarters, but it’s difficult to deal with sudden mutations with only security hunters.”

“no. Because it’s true. Then, the correction plan Mr. Kang is talking about is… ?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Kang Tae-min.

“Having this device running everywhere as it is now is likely to cause chaos. However, if the mutant is unaware, it is rather easy to control.”

“Is it easy to control?”

“It is to change the existing ‘checkup’ to ‘prosecutors’.”

The original plan was to mass-produce the device, establish a checkpoint with a detection device, and search for mutants that came within range.

It was intended to suppress the activity radius of the mutant and to track people who showed abnormal reactions in the association.

“If we let people test themselves, and if we take the variants identified through sequential testing and treat them under control, we might be able to reduce the damage.”

However, if the mutant was not aware of it, there was no reason to do so.

“But would normal people bother to get tested?”

“You can create a reason. For example, you can make a public announcement that an epidemic has been discovered in the dungeon and request a full inspection.”

“indeed… ! Then it will be less impactful than the mutant.”

Bae Seung-ju said in a slightly excited voice.

It would have been better that the neighbor might be a carrier than that he might be a monster.

“Johanna-sama, is it possible to reduce the detection range?”

“It’s difficult to increase it, but it’s over soon.”

Along with Yohanna’s answer, Bae Seung-ju’s mind quickly came up with a plan to implement what Kang Tae-min had said.

“In that case, we should quickly arrange a seat with the government. This really helped me a lot!”

“Heh heh, after all, not everyone is given the name Sensei.”

When Ju Tae-ji said with a satisfied expression, Pyo Ji-hun also nodded.

“As expected, your thinking is flexible.”

“It was also sharp. You had déjà vu, but you didn’t notice until you said it, didn’t you?”

“This is true, that’s it too.”

At Johanna’s words, Pyo Ji-hoon admitted with a puzzled face.

“Then I will leave the rest to you. I have a prior appointment.”

“Ah yes! Thank you all three for your precious time!”

Bae Seung-joo expressed his sincere gratitude. Kang Tae-min left them behind.

* * *

It was said that it was a pre-arranged appointment, but it was not an appointment time. Nevertheless, I headed to the meeting place.

If it was the girl I knew, she would rather be waiting first.

“welcome… !”

Busy turning the coffee machine on, the part-time worker who greeted me only by turning his face looked at me and froze.

It was the reason why I chose a small neighborhood cafe as the meeting place, not a franchise.

“Uh, uh… And the destruction… .”

“This is Kang Tae-min. A glass of iced Americano, please.”

The title attached to me is still unfamiliar. I cut my part-time job, placed my order, put my card on, and headed to my seat.

“Ah, senior… !”

Irua found me and stood up.

It was a quiet time, so she was the only customer.

Anyway, they still call me senior. I was expecting a slightly more distant title.

“Sit down.”

“Oh, coffee… .”

“Already ordered.”

The complex emotions of wanting this position but not wanting it were revealed. However, she eventually settled down.

“Ah, Iced Americano is here!”

The part-timer brought a drink while shaking. It’s good that the coffee doesn’t overflow.

Albasaeng put down his drink and hesitated for a while before speaking.

“I-I’m sorry. Ho, hoho, could you take a picture, just one picture before you go out?”

As I looked at her, the part-timer hurriedly continued.

“No, not me. Our boss, the boss somehow asked me to take just one picture… .”

“… Okay. Let me ask you a favor instead.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Could you please close the shop until we finish talking? I will pay whatever you want.”

The part-timer closed his mouth as if the accident had stopped for a moment. If you hear that you will rent a shop on the spot, this is usually the reaction.

“Yes, yes! I will definitely take permission from the boss! Rest well!”

Soon after, the clean-up was over, so the part-timer rushed out. I lightly moistened my mouth with coffee.

Irua still had a hard face. The coffee that came first and ordered didn’t decrease at all.

Rather, the ice melted and the sheep increased.

Click, the ice melted again and the glass collided with it, erasing the silence.

“There must be many things you want to ask.”

At my words, she flinched.

It was better to tell her what she wanted than to explain it word for word. I didn’t even have to tell you anything that didn’t need to be revealed.

“… Why, did you take care of Scaler?”

“It’s not different from what I said then.”

“Senpai-nim, did you have a reason to take revenge?”

Irua asked with her eyes closed. I could tell by the movement of her arm muscles that she was clenching her fists.

“That’s right.”

“… Did you know who I am?”

It was an expected question.

When I kidnapped her, I revealed that I know that Irua wants revenge and has the ability to achieve it.

“Yes. I knew.”

The tremor grew noticeably at my answer. He pretended to be calm, but he couldn’t hide his disturbed breathing.

“then… Then, did taking care of Noah and helping me all have a purpose?”

Still she didn’t look at me. I was hesitant to know the answer even though I wanted the answer.

-It’s okay… you’re not wrong…

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Looking at her like that, I chewed over her end again. The only partner who sympathized with me and understood me.

It would be a lie if the relationship did not affect her and Noah.

“As I said, all special classes are under my responsibility. Lua is also a member of the special class.”

The trembling stopped for a moment at my answer. And his shoulders went down as if he was intimidated.

“But… .”

If that’s all, I could answer.

“Mr. Lua is a little more special.”

because.

-I don’t think you are wrong.

Because even in this life she understood me. Even though it was a different situation than before, it was because he sympathized with me.

Was my answer surprising?

Only then did Irua raise her head and meet my gaze. Tears welled up in her eyes, but even that was short-lived.

“ah… !”

She jerked her head away and covered her face with her arms and hands.

“sorry. He, please keep talking.”

“… Lua and I have many similarities. The difference is that Mr. Lua’s vengeance is over and mine remains.”

“Senior’s revenge… Yo?”

Irua looked back at me with wide eyes. His face was slightly flushed.

“Yes, so I just want you to be happy.”

People often say that the end of revenge is futility. But futility was better than anger.

However, Eruah wants to find happiness rather than futility. Fortunately, she had a family left.

“Then you can trust me to be happy after I’ve finished my revenge.”

It was a lie for her. Just so you don’t feel in debt.

I sincerely want Eruah to be happy, not for that reason. she deserves it

Irua didn’t say anything. He just looked down with a complicated expression.

Click, the ice melted again and made a noise.

“If you don’t have any further questions, let’s go.”

Taking that as a signal, I slowly got up from my seat. Eruah grabbed my hand and grabbed it.

“… I will help too.”

“Mr. Lua?”

“Of course, it may not be very helpful. But, though, still, let me help.”

Irua’s expression was quite different. I knew that look.

It was the face before returning, when talking about Inoa, and when thinking about his family.

“I also want my senior’s revenge to be completed. That way, that way I can confirm that I’m not wrong… !”

Irua stood up after me. Her face moved closer to mine.

“So, I’ll stay by your side.”

* * *

After Kang Tae-min broke up with Lee Lu-ah, he went to Miss Backdoor’s pawn shop.

‘Even if circumstances change, people don’t change easily.’

I didn’t know that Irua would promise to cooperate even after completing her revenge.

‘Well, he was that kind of person.’

Even before returning, he wasn’t such a loyal person. I thanked her for her cooperation.

Unfortunately, however, her sincerity did not reach Eruah. Kang Tae-min was ignorant of the concept of ‘dating’ before and now.

It was also because he had worn out his emotions for thorough revenge.

It is to block, unconsciously or consciously, from getting closer to yourself than necessary.

But even so, he had no intention of threatening Irua.

‘It’s safer to see.’

Irua was one of the people he must protect. I had already lost her once, and I didn’t want to go through that loss again.

While Kang Tae-min was organizing his thoughts, he arrived at the pawnshop.

“Um… I haven’t found a viable candidate yet.”

Miss Backdoor looked a bit unconfident, perhaps recalling the time when she nominated Kang Tae-min as a candidate for the Nobody member.

“Today is a different request.”

“Other?”

“Lunatic money.”

Kang Tae-min took out the parasite sample he had kept. And if it would be helpful, I revealed all the information I had obtained from the battle with Anne.

“Uhm… It’s a parasitic army that even gets the bodies and memories of corpses.”

“If you find out anything, let me know.”

It was the moment Kang Tae-min finished his business and was about to leave.

“Wait.”

At Miss Backdoor’s words, he stopped and turned around.

“You should listen to what you have found out now.”

“… Did you find out?”

Her sullen expression turned to life.

“Yes. It came to my mind right away, probably thanks to the sample I left the other day.”

It was clear that he was referring to Yoo Ji-wan’s sample.

“What information?”

Taemin Kang turned around and looked down at her. Miss Backdoor replied with a confident face.

“The reason why Lunatic money creates mutants.”
