Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 112

Disagreement between the front and back.

If you were to define Red Cross in one word, you would be able to express it like that.

Before returning, he hid his true identity and solidified his position externally in Russia. He even rose to the rank of Archbishop of the Theocracy.

Of course, it didn’t go up in a pure way. Red Cross had been enlisting the Awoken under him before that, and using them to collude with the political world.

Red Cross received support by eliminating political opponents of the ruling class, and called out its own forces.

The mafia, which grew like that, infiltrated neighboring countries and committed crimes such as drugs, prostitution, and human trafficking.

And when discovered, he hid under the shadow of the Theocracy and escaped from the investigation.

– Dare to know who I am… ! This will be a national issue… !

It reminded me of the madness that Red Cross had right before he died. But he didn’t know me very well.

I wasn’t the one who would save her.

-It would be nice to go beautifully at the end.

Alexei arrived after I killed him. At the time, Alexei was a hunter representing Russia.

I was wary of trying to silence me, but Alexei’s reaction was different from what I expected.

-It’s a pretty beautiful way. Thanks to that, I didn’t have to get my hands dirty.

The boy clapped lightly and laughed.

– Excessive greed makes people ugly. If I had been moderately satisfied, I wouldn’t have died.

As I heard from Miss Backdoor later, when the power of the Red Cross increased, the Russian ruling class sorted it out.

Alexei was sent as that tool.

– Let me see you again next time you have a chance.

Afterwards, Alexei removed key executives under Red Cross and returned.

But this time it was difficult to kill him so easily.

Before the return, I just killed him easily, but now his death could be cumbersome.

I heard from Rosalind that she complained about the Moscow academy.

If he went missing or left as a mysterious death, he could have been more annoying. Probably, the association will also take out manpower to investigate.

“How dare you know who I am… ! This will be a national issue… !”

The current Red Cross showed the same reaction as before the return. Its power was not yet great, but it seems that the ego was enlarged in the first place.

I shut his mouth and read the Bible among the dead bodies.

“It’s an old version of the seed.”

I took out the seeds inside, looked at them, removed one, and put it back. This would be useful evidence.

And the seeds he took out were turned into powder with his fists.

“A boss who got drunk and killed his subordinates. Do you like it?”

The reason why the name ‘Red Cross’ was attached to it was also attached to the appearance of the victims who suffered it. It was because the blood that flowed from the corpse remained in the form of a red cross.

The fact that he deliberately divided his men into 4 parts using wires was also to cover it up.

I grabbed the red cross’s cheek violently and with my other hand I poured the seed powder into his nostrils.

“Eh!?”

Red Cross tried to resist, but to no avail.

next day.

＜Mr. Kang, have you seen the news?＞

Kang Tae-min received a call from Johanna. It was news of the death of Father Vladimir, the Red Cross.

Of course, Johanna did not know his true identity.

＜I heard he was taking Alexei? Has the schedule changed?＞

“… Is it because you want to do more research?”

＜Isn’t it right to investigate further if you have time?＞

Johanna was thinking of re-examining Alexei if his return was delayed.

“No, it’s as planned. You should probably be on a plane by now.”

Unfortunately for her, however, the schedule was not postponed. Alexei went back to Russia.

＜Yes? Umm… Then there is nothing you can do.＞

“Yes, then.”

Kang Tae-min briefly ended the call and returned. In the living room, Irua was sitting on the sofa, very nervous.

“The call is over.”

“Oh yes!”

Today was the weekend, and it was a day off from special class training. But if you ask me why did Lua come to Kang Tae-min’s house?

‘I said I’d stay by your side, but that doesn’t mean I’ll just watch.’

During the previous battle with Ann Najoz, she felt helpless. Although her ability was not specialized in combat, it was a natural result.

But I couldn’t stay still. So, he asked Kang Tae-min for help.

As much as he had trained the students in the special class, he was expecting that he would be able to show them the way.

‘But I never thought I’d be invited to my house… .’

It was the same when I was invited, but my head was still confused. I know in my head that Kang Tae-min is not a man with dark feelings, but where does the human heart follow the head?

‘No, but if there is no black heart, it’s another problem… .’

Irua shook her head, feeling her ears heat up.

‘What am I thinking right now? Anyway, step by step… .’

The complex thoughts in my head disappeared at once with Kang Tae-min’s words.

“It’s not your first time here, so why are you so nervous?”

“Yes?”

I was wondering what this meant.

“You must have seen it while watching me. Isn’t it familiar, like Mr. Lua’s house?”

Embarrassment, not shame.

In another sense, Irua’s face became red.

“No, that, senior. that’s… .”

“It means you don’t have to be too hard on yourself. And it’s not like we’re going to train here.”

“Training?”

Taemin Kang shook his head.

Irua was still a direct hunter of Bae Seung-ju, and in case of emergency, she would go on an operation. Therefore, there was no need to disclose the ability if it was not necessary.

Accordingly, Kang Tae-min invited her to his house rather than to an open training ground.

“Let’s go.”

With those words, the surroundings changed in an instant.

‘Oh, this is… .’

It was a space she had already entered once.

Kang Tae-min had a free sub-space where he didn’t have to worry about other people’s eyes.

“How is it?”

“How are you… ?”

“Basically, everything here is dark except for what exists. Do you feel these areas as shadows to Mr. Lua?”

There is no light source in subspace. Nevertheless, Kang Tae-min and Lee Lu-ah’s appearances were clearly visible.

But everything else was covered in complete darkness.

“Ah yes. that’s right. I can go in.”

Eruah soon showed her ability with a serious face. With him, her body melted into darkness and disappeared.

“great. First off, my predictions were right. Then we go to the next step.”

At those words, Irua reappeared. Taemin Kang looked her up and down.

In response to that gaze, Eruah gave strength to her stomach without realizing it.

‘I told her to wear comfortable clothes, but now that I think about it, they are too comfortable.’

It was the outfit she wore to training. The body is comfortable, but the clothes reveal the lines of the body, so I had to be concerned.

“Clearly Lua-san’s ability was to swim in the shadows.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Shadow Surfer, the ability to hide and move in the shadows and darkness.

Kang Tae-min asked even though he knew.

“Only Lua can enter the shadows.”

“Yes. I tried to see if I could bring someone else in, but I never succeeded.”

“Then, what is the category of ‘Mr. Lua’?”

“… Yes?”

Irua widened her eyes.

“No one else can enter the shadow. Only Mr. Lua enters. However, Mr. Lua’s things can go into the shadows.”

At Kang Tae-min’s words, Irua understood the question. Her clothes, as well as her weapons, could enter and exit the shadows.

So far, I just accepted it naturally and didn’t raise any questions.

Rather, he spent his time catching villains.

“I think Lua’s ability has similarities with that Pete.”

“You mean the villain with the teleportation ability?”

“Yes. According to the courtier’s testimony, only those who have been ‘permitted’ can enter the portal he opened.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

Irua shook her head.

She wasn’t just listening. There was a failed experience of trying to enter the portal by hiding in the shadow of Hwang Ye-ri’s subordinate.

Although he had no idea that the mercenary was Kang Tae-min.

“So I thought. I think what Lua-san can pass through as a shadow is ‘herself and her belongings’.”

“ah… If I could define it clearly, that would be it.”

Kang Tae-min then recalled the concept he had heard from Seol Gyu-jin.

‘The president of the association said so. Creatures are not subject to possession.’

Maybe that’s why other people can’t enter the shadows.

Based on that premise, Kang Tae-min conceived a way to use Lee Lua’s abilities.

“Mr. Lua, let’s move only objects through the shadows.”

“… Just stuff?”

“Yes. This is an area where all sides are recognized as shadows, so I don’t think it will be difficult.”

Taemin Kang handed her the dagger he had been keeping. Irua frowned and rolled her eyes.

Then she hurled the dagger.

“ah… !”

Thinking that the dagger is also a part of himself, he manifests his abilities, realizing the image of a sword play cutting through the shadows.

Along with that, an unfamiliar sensation ran through her body.

‘Can you feel it?’

The dagger swimming in the shadows felt like her body. As if he himself was swimming in the shadows, the dagger moved according to her will.

if so.

‘Can we do it this way?’

With willpower, she drew out the dagger. Suddenly, a dagger piercing through the darkness was lodged in front of her and she trembled.

“Oh my gosh… !”

Irua exclaimed in surprise. Wide-eyed eyes alternately looked at the dagger and Kang Tae-min.

“Sure, something like this is possible.”

Taemin Kang looked at Leeruah with a light smile.

“A surprise attack using the shadows will be possible, and more than anything else, Lua-san will be able to stay safe.”

“I, I didn’t know. I never thought this would be possible… .”

Irua smiled brightly and bowed her head.

“thank you. Seniors… !”

“Thank you later.”

“Later… ?”

“Yes. Training starts now.”

Saying so, Kang Tae-min created a target, a dummy, and various throwing weapons.

“I’m sure you know my training method.”

No matter how hard it was, there was no concession regarding training.

“Once you get used to using the ability, you will practice it in a real combat situation with a light source.”

“Yes… ! Please take good care of me, senpai!”

Still, Eruah was happy.

‘Special training with seniors alone… !’

It was an opportunity to spend time with Kang Tae-min along with improving his abilities.

Late night.

A cemetery where only the dim lights of street lamps shine under the dark night sky.

In that spooky atmosphere, a tombstone shook and shook. Then the tombstone lifted slightly, and the soil beneath it cracked, scattering on both sides.

If someone sees it, it is the work of a ghost and may faint in fear.

‘As expected, this is the only way.’

But it wasn’t the ghost’s work. It was Johanna who hid herself by refracting light with magic to dig up the graveyard.

[My hero, my love]

[Go Jeong-hwan]

She glanced at the name engraved on the tombstone.

‘If Hwang Ye-ri knew, she would try to kill me.’

The owner of the cemetery she digs up is Go Jeong-hwan, Hwang Ye-ri’s fiancé.

‘To find out the difference between Alexei and Goh Jeong-hwan, I have to study the prototype again.’

When Ko Jeong-hwan died, she was unable to retrieve Seed’s prototype. It was because Hwang Ye-ri was not allowed to touch the remains.

Moreover, it was the yard where the decision was made to discard the research, so there was no need to be stubborn.

‘Because now there will be only one hundred bones left. It doesn’t matter.’

She was only thinking of taking care of the seed that was lying between the white bones.

It was not intended to damage the body, and the dug up cemetery was to be returned to its original state with magic.

Eventually, the coffin was revealed through the mounds of dirt. Johanna opened the lid of the coffin with anticipation.

‘… what?’

Eventually, she couldn’t help but doubt her eyes. There were white bones in the coffin, but no seeds were visible.

‘There’s no way the seed will rot?’

Before long, she shuddered as if struck by lightning at the thought passing through her head.

‘No, no way… .’

She pulled out the terminal. All of the seed prototype research materials were discarded, but Ko Jeong-hwan’s profile remained.

Johanna compared Ko Jung-hwan’s body and white bones attached to the profile. And I realized that I was right.

‘The skeleton is different.’

Someone swapped Go Jung-hwan’s corpse.
