Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 103

A question mark appeared in Kang Tae-min’s head. Isn’t it some kind of religious reason why Lunatic money mutates intelligence?

But if that was the reason, Miss Backdoor would have no reason to hold him back. There was little value in finding out such information.

“Do they get anything out of mutants?”

“Um, it’s similar.”

Miss Backdoor shook her head and pushed aside the box containing Anne’s parasite samples.

“The sample you gave me the other day was the cell of a mad follower.”

“Yes it was.”

Yu Ji-wan’s appearance is like that of the ‘Cultist of Madness’, a monster that appears in dungeons after a mutation.

“It was caused by a magical ritual. I gave up on myself and embraced madness.”

human sacrifice.

Kang Tae-min recalled the item he had read in Yoo Ji-wan’s karma log.

‘Indeed, sacrificing himself rather than another sacrifice can be regarded as human sacrifice.’

In the meantime, Miss Backdoor continued to explain.

“Maybe he was brainwashed or his life was threatened or something. Or that he was out of his mind before the ceremony. Anyway, the important thing is that that method is a little less efficient.”

“efficiency?”

“Yes. Because it takes a lot of effort to make a person a follower of madness.”

Taemin Kang shook his head.

It was an inefficient method considering the fog they encountered on Crown Island and the mutating of the corpses by Anne Nahoz this time.

‘Come to think of it, why the ceremony?’

It can mutate many people at once, and it can also mutate dead bodies.

Why do I have to put so much effort into changing each one?

“that’s right. That’s the point. They had a reason for that.”

Miss Backdoor read the inside of Kang Tae-min’s expression and smiled. This time, it was a smile tinged with a sense of accomplishment that I was definitely doing my part.

“The Lunatic Dawn is stepping up and invading this side.”

“step?”

“Well, Lunatic money serves God, right? Of course, I’m not sure if that’s a real god. First of all, it seems to be gaining magical power from that god.”

“How do you know that?”

In response to that question, she searched through the pawnshops and took out the iron box she had left in the past.

Yoo Ji-wan’s sample inside was already withered.

“The two samples seemed to have the same magical power wavelength. It means that they have the same source of power. So… .”

Miss Backdoor brought the two metal boxes close together. Yu Ji-wan’s sample flinched and slowly began to move towards Anne’s sample.

“… This?”

“It must be some kind of survival instinct. It’s trying to maintain its function by attaching itself to the side that has a lot of magic left.”

Miss Backdoor again separated them. Then Yoo Ji-wan’s sample stopped moving again.

“As you just saw, these radiate the same magic wavelength and have their active areas. And the more the area of activity, the greater the power to interfere with this side from the other side.”

“Interfering?”

“Well… To put it a little easier, it should be called a Zerg creep colony. Ah, it must be similar to a protoss pylon.”

Miss Backdoor was explained by comparing it to a game that every Korean knows.

Kang Tae-min hadn’t tried it himself, but he knew the concept.

“In summary, the higher the number of mutants, the easier the invasion of Lunatic Dawn is. Conversely, if the number of variants is small, the restrictions are large.”

“So you’re taking steps.”

“Yes. If there were no restrictions, wouldn’t all of those apostles appear at once?”

Both Vernon and Anne Najoz were formidable enemies. Even if they were the 5 strongest players, they would not have been able to guarantee a match.

Unfortunately for Lunatic Don, the invasion was thwarted as both met Kang Tae-min.

‘The 5th type of Moonlight, if all 5 of them appeared, it would be difficult to stop them.’

However, if they appeared all at once, even Kang Tae-min could not guarantee victory.

“Creating mutants through rituals is probably the first step. It stays hidden without being noticed by the natives of the dimension, and when it reaches a certain level, it actively spreads mutations.”

“Right. Is that why you tried to destroy the detection device?”

“Yes. But if there’s one thing you still don’t understand… .”

Miss Backdoor frowned slightly.

“Why is Lunatic money targeting Korea?”

“Aiming for Korea?”

“Yes. In fact, from the point of view of an aggressor, it is right to target the weak side first, right? I’d rather target North Korea or India or China with a large population… .”

Lunatic Dawn was a sort of intelligent virus. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to aim for a place with poor security and a high number of infected people?

Although the mutants at the end were stained with madness, the chief apostles maintained sufficient intelligence.

‘no way… Is that it?’

At those words, Kang Tae-min’s mind flashed.

-Maybe there was a dimensional gap before then.

This was what Johanna said while revealing her origin.

‘What if they came through the crack that Johanna came over?’

Ann Najoz took Johanna’s body. In addition, since he got her memory, he might have realized how to use the gap in the dimension.

And Johanna’s soul, which crossed the dimensional gap, was reincarnated in Korea.

‘It seems that Korea has become a kind of frontline between dimensions.’

It was an ironic situation.

It seems that Johanna deserves some blame for bringing in Lunatic Dawn, but she just ran for her life.

Besides, thanks to her magic engineering skills, didn’t many people’s lives be saved?

‘In terms of proportion, it’s probably closer to the good side.’

Perhaps, even if it wasn’t for her, Lunatic Don might have targeted this place someday.

Wouldn’t it be better to be here with Johanna, who knows about its existence, than to invade another area?

‘No, that’s not my decision.’

Taemin Kang shook his head.

For those who died as mutants, for the bereaved families, this kind of logic would have been fine.

It was clear that Johanna’s existence would feel like an outright evil to them.

What is good for some is bad for others. In this way, good and evil are not clearly separated.

‘My job is to pursue a simpler evil.’

Kang Tae-min organized his thoughts and looked back at Miss Backdoor.

“Um, I don’t know about that either. That doesn’t sound like a trade worth trying… .”

“Anyway, it was good information that eliminating the Cultists of Madness deterred them.”

“Yes?”

She smiled brightly, but she had to pay attention to Kang Tae-min’s words that came out soon after.

“Does Nobody have any additional information?”

“… It hasn’t been since last time.”

“I get it. I’ll call you next time.”

Kang Tae-min left the store as soon as he finished his business. Left alone with Mr. Rock, Miss Backdoor sighed briefly.

“flaw… I never thought that teacher would become the strongest of the 6 generations.”

“You can’t see the future, can you?”

“A mistake is a mistake. Judging by their influence, it’s clear that they’ll probably do more important things than the other strongest.”

Miss Backdoor said so and took the cat food.

“It’s rare for the no-body side to show their tails.”

“So. I’m rather worried… You have to be alert for now.”

As she poured the food into the bowl, the cats came out wagging their tails.

“Because they won’t end like this either.”

Cemetery located outside the city.

Hwang Ye-ri got the right to go out as promised by Bae Seung-ju.

Today was my fiancé’s anniversary.

“… How far are you going to follow me?”

She was wearing a hoodie, sunglasses, and even a mask. Although suspicious, no one would have known that she was Hwang Ye-ri.

“He told me not to take my eyes off him for a second.”

“Yeah, didn’t you tell me to stick around like that?”

Hwang Ye-ri responded in a sharp tone to the answer of the direct hunter in charge of surveillance.

So far, the Association has been treating her as a person of interest. Of course, there was a reason for that, but isn’t it a bit harsh to come this far?

“that’s… .”

“I don’t want to run away, I just want to spend some quiet time?”

She paused and let out a short sigh.

“It doesn’t take long. I’m going to have a glass of soju and think about the old days for a while. Is it that dangerous?”

Hwang Ye-ri said as she waved a black bag containing a bottle of soju and a paper cup.

“… All right.”

“Tsk, if you’re going to worry that much, at least cut off this leash.”

Hwang Ye-ri rolled her eyes and walked away. Although invisible because of the hood, a device was stuffed around her neck that could send high-voltage current with the push of a button.

If she did anything suspicious, she would immediately press the button.

‘… what?’

Hwang Ye-ri stood in front of her fiancé’s tombstone. However, flowers were placed to see who came and went first.

‘Rosemary?’

It was an unusual kind for a memorial service. Hwang Ye-ri put the flowers aside and poured soju.

‘… Who is it?’

something was embarrassing

The fiancé had no family left. Even on the last due date, she was the only one who came to the tombstone.

Hwang Ye-ri frowned as she scattered her soju glass on the tombstone. Can’t you even get lost in memories because of this one flower?

“Ha, I’m going crazy.”

Hwang Ye-ri muttered and grabbed the bouquet. Then, suddenly, a small note fell inside.

[Portal, Credit, Music]

The text wasn’t very long.

Hwang Ye-ri calmly put down the bouquet. She stared blankly at the tombstone, then stood up.

“Are you done?”

He didn’t even answer Hunter’s question. She silently got into the vehicle and returned to headquarters.

Locked back in the containment cell, she changed her clothes in the bathroom. Her expression in the mirror was very serious.

‘No, no nonsense.’

From the moment I saw the note, my head was confused. The very what-if possibility shook her head.

-Oh, my head hurts… Can I just tell you something?

– But then it seems too easy.

An occasional expression of affection from her fiancé to her.

-Can I just tell you easily? You know I’m not saying this with a light heart.

-But this one is more romantic.

– No, I have to find it.

He would repeat what he wanted to say. Hwang Ye-ri had to make an extra effort to find out what he meant.

– All flowers are the same.

– Because there is such a thing as flower language. Do a search.

Hwang Ye-ri looked for her smartphone as if possessed. Although quarantined, he was free to use the Internet because he was not a criminal.

[Rosemary flower language.]

As soon as I typed in the search term, the results came out.

[Memories, eternal love, happy memories]

The flower language of rosemary was not one. Among them, there was one that caught her attention.

[Reviving me with your presence]

Hwang Ye-ri’s eyes shook.

– What else is this? do you study english?

– What’s the use if you just tell me.

-Oh well… !

– If you’re curious, you should look for it. huh? Doesn’t it take a long time?

With trembling hands, she recalled the note from the bouquet.

[Portal, Credit, Music]

Do you search for those three words together?

[Still Alive]

The song title appeared.

“What is this… .”

It means ‘still alive’.

Hwang Ye-ri didn’t know how to accept this.

Obviously he would have died.

The students in the special class were working hard on their work.

Pyo Soo-ho focused on controlling Pyo Ji-hun and the devil’s power, while Ko Min-soo and Lee No-ah finished the basics and were learning aura control and taijutsu.

Yoo Hwa-rin and Song Dae-beom polished what they had gained under Johanna’s supervision.

‘This is the last one.’

Taemin Kang visited the Spiral Guild. It was my turn to train Joo Da-hyun.

The original plan and unexpected things overlapped, so the order was delayed a little, but there were no major problems.

“Master, you are here!”

Joo Da-hyun welcomed him. It was the first time since I came to Min So-yul’s patent the other day.

Still, she didn’t regret it.

“What about Soyul?”

“I heard you’re coming after finishing the experiment you’re doing?”

Min So-yul could not take his hands off his research. Taemin Kang smiled lightly.

‘Because I definitely tasted the achievement, my dependence decreased.’

Unlike the early days when he was anxious without Kang Tae-min, Min So-yul’s ego was gradually maturing.

Joo Da-hyun led him to the training ground that had been prepared in advance.

“As Master said, I prepared several spears.”

Prior to training, Kang Tae-min told Joo Da-hyeon to prepare several spears of different sizes.

As the saying goes, there were various types of windows.

“Is it better to use another window?”

Dahyun Ju predicted that the spear she was using now did not fit her body. However, Taemin Kang shook his head.

“No, I will use them all.”

“Yes?”

“The thing you need to learn this time is ‘Javelin’.”

Joo Da-hyun’s eyes turned round. However, Kang Tae-min’s expression was serious.

“I must have vaguely realized this while practicing with Hwarin. Your abilities aren’t limited to melee combat.”

She was able to wind up and wind the target she wanted. Until now, it was used to increase penetration and increase speed.

“Using that ability, you can change the trajectory of an object and block the opponent’s movement.”

“ah… !”

“Then let’s begin.”

“all right!”

Joo Da-hyun put in a spirit with a bright smile. Looking at her like that, Kang Tae-min thought.

‘Is it the second semester soon?’

The vacation, which was long and short, was coming to an end.
