Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 118

Cradle of the Golem.

A month has already passed since the special class started training here.

“Suddenly, the golem opponent is getting used to it.”

Song Dae-beom sat on the collapsed golem fragment and said. Ju Da-hyeon twisted the javelin stuck in the debris and turned his head.

“Still, Suda still can’t go faster than the guild members.”

“Later than Minsu or Noah.”

Yuhwarin also helped out. Song Dae-beom wrinkled the tip of his nose slightly.

“These two are out of the question. And since we fight as a team, it takes longer.”

“Hmm… I think it would be better for us to train individually as well.”

Joo Da-hyun pondered with a serious expression. At those words, Yoo Hwa-rin muttered, pouting her lips with a sullen face.

“I’m fine now… .”

She liked hanging out with friends. The thought of training alone made me feel lonely.

“I agree.”

“It’s too sharp.”

Yuhwarin rolled her eyes at Song Daebeom’s answer. He looked down at her with his arms crossed.

“Well, what I need right now is my individual skills. Aren’t we also rivals now?”

All three students had listened to Kang Tae-min’s explanation. One of the three will be eliminated from the representative position.

At those words, Ju Da-hyun shook her head.

“It is not wrong. I will tell you, I have no intention of conceding.”

She wanted to be a representative.

‘I’m going to prove myself.’

Ju Da-hyun grew up in the best environment among the students in the special class. Because she was flawless, she was able to focus on herself.

The bridle of being the heir to the Spiral Guild has long since been taken off.

‘I want to rise to the position of Master and Grandpa.’

Admiration and respect for the strong were the driving force that led her life. I wanted to know what they see and how they think.

The World Congress was to be the cornerstone.

“Seriously, if you give in, who will take it? No one will think like that.”

Song Dae-beom laughed. He, too, had no desire to miss the representative seat.

‘I don’t want to worry my parents.’

He wanted to set a high starting point for his family as a professional hunter. Wouldn’t it be better to pay a higher price for a similar risk?

‘The experience of participating in world competitions will be a pretty good career.’

He was already from the special class and would be highly evaluated just for being Kang Tae-min’s disciple. However, Song Dae-beom was not satisfied with that.

‘As Sam warned, if you go to a strict guild, you may be used and abandoned.’

I wanted to be the one who chose, not the one who was chosen. Opportunities in sight had to be seized.

Unlike the two of them, Yoo Hwa-rin had a sullen expression.

‘… I hate competition.’

She didn’t want to ruin her relationship with her friends. Of course, I understood in my head that the two would compete fairly and accept the outcome.

However, before awakening, the scars left in his heart caused by discrimination have not yet healed.

‘You don’t know.’

Dropped out friends might hate her. Even if you laugh in front of you, you may resent yourself behind your back.

However, I had no intention of giving up on her. It was just as sad to watch from behind.

‘It’d be nice if we all went together.’

For Yuhwarin, this situation itself was stressful. In response, she looked for the cause in someone other than her friend.

“… None of this would have happened if it hadn’t been for the Pyosuho.”

To her, Pyo Soo-ho did not yet belong to the category of friends. Of course, he belonged to the Oblige Academy and had no contact with her at all.

“what?”

“That’s right. If we had a team match, the three of us would have gone together.”

When Song Dae-beom opened his eyes wide, Yoo-hwa-rin said in a grumbling tone. If the tournament hadn’t been stopped because of the Crown Island incident, so if the three of them had won the team fight.

The qualifiers for the world competition would have been determined by the first and second place in the individual event and the first place team in the team event.

Both of them knew that fact.

“Isn’t that a little too talkative?”

“what?”

“Isn’t it his fault that the team match was stopped?”

Unlike the two, Song Dae-beom became close with Pyo Soo-ho while training together during vacation. And I watched how hard Pyo Soo-ho was beside him.

“… Are you siding with him now?”

“You’re on your side. What does that mean?”

“Hey, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

Joo Da-hyun hurriedly intervened in the middle. However, Song Dae-beom and Yoo Hwa-rin were already looking at each other disapprovingly.

“… Anyway, I go to personal training.”

Song Dae-beom left first. Yuhwarin glared at him and then stood up.

“Hwarin-ah.”

“I’m just all together… .”

She muttered, then shook her head.

“sorry… I won’t disturb you.”

Ju Da-hyun, who was left alone after Yoo Hwa-rin also left, let out a short sigh.

and another one.

‘uh… What should I do in this situation?’

Irua, who had been listening to the conversation in the shadows, let out a worried sigh.

Gimpo International Airport.

People gathered in twos and threes in the large waiting room, looking at the screen installed.

＜Today, the Hunter Association announced that it would suspend the public wanted for the courtier, Hwang Ye-ri. She previously revealed herself as the leader of a terrorist group, the ‘Ubermensch’, but this was part of a joint investigation for the arrest of terrorists… ＞

In the news, the news about Hwang Ye-ri was being delivered as a breaking news.

“Somehow, I thought that the strongest became a terrorist because he regretted something.”

“Are you saying that you’ve caught all the culprits by announcing this?”

“I’m sure that’s the case?”

It was in the middle of watching the news and people were talking about it.

There was a loud rumble of wheels, followed by a thud.

It was so loud that everyone watching the news turned their heads.

“Ah, I did it.”

“Shogo! What are you doing?”

At the end of that line of sight were people speaking Japanese. Two men and women in uniform were laughing at a male student in the same uniform.

“Hey, Shougo. What are you going to do if something goes wrong?”

“Eh, there are also portable cosmetics. I don’t know if it’s broken or not. Maybe even clothes? Are you going to buy them all new? Is not it? Shogo?”

The collapsed student, Shogo Okubo, simply kept his mouth shut. Naturally, he was also an Awakener, so there was no reason to fall.

‘You guys deliberately… !’

The two left their carriers to Shogo and were looking for opportunities.

But Shougo couldn’t get his thoughts out of his mouth. So I had no choice but to smile and answer.

“Oh sorry… I’ll be careful.”

The answer made both of their smiles even thicker.

“Yes, Shogo. That’s a very good attitude.”

“Oh, that’s funny. I thought you would be proud to say you came home.”

‘It’s my hometown, I’ve never been to Korea.’

Shogo was a 4th generation Korean-Japanese. There are only Koreans among the older generation, but I was born and raised in Japan.

However, they have been harassed because they are of Korean blood.

“Tatsuya? Yuuko? What’s happen?”

At the question of the lead teacher who came out of the bathroom, the two changed their expressions as if they were like that.

“Shogo fell while walking.”

“It seemed like he was excited. He said he was running too fast.”

There was no way an Awakener could hold back his body that much. Even the lead teacher knew that.

“You have to pay attention to your eyes. Quit playing around and take care of your own luggage.”

I just dismissed it as a simple joke. I know it’s not true, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t make it an issue.

“Okay, I get it.”

“I can’t entrust Shogo with even simple tasks.”

neglect and ridicule.

Shougo lowered his head at what had always happened to him. And he followed, looking only at the feet of the people ahead.

‘… I want to die.’

He trudged forward and glanced at my wrist. The scars from before awakening remained.

It wasn’t just the academy that he was bullied.

‘Why did you do something like awakening?’

The moment I gave up on life, the awakening came. Unfortunately, what he gained from that awakening was the ability to regenerate, and he became a body that could not easily die.

I thought that moving from a normal school to an academy would make things better, but the reality hasn’t changed.

The label of Zainichi could not be removed at all.

‘… I don’t think I could die during this game.’

[Specialist, withdrawal of ‘Goongsin’]

[Hwang Ye-ri returns, specialist-related stocks skyrocket!]

[Governor, ‘I have no interest in the ideology of Ubermensch.’]

Kang Taemin lightly skimmed through the article and shook his head.

‘As expected, I don’t see any damage.’

Hwang Ye-ri’s freedom is already ready, but he delayed the timing. It was not simply to return as the strongest, but to regain the guild he had built.

Even the management of the Specialist Guild had no reason to refuse if her honor was restored.

After some negotiations, she announced her return at the right time.

-I will also cooperate in overthrowing Nobody.

One of those negotiations was that specialist mercenaries cooperate with the association.

-Because I can’t just sit back and watch.

-As expected, the only one who thinks of me is my older sister!

-Please, in front of others… !

Hwang Ye-ri decided to use the guild for Go Jeong-hwan, and the association also decided to appoint mercenaries to secure manpower.

– As soon as I find out something, I’ll tell you right away.

Ko Jeong-hwan started working.

With Johanna’s mediation, the soul contract was safely completed, so he wouldn’t have any other thoughts.

“Uhm… .”

“Why is that?”

Taemin Kang erased his thoughts and averted his eyes. Rosalyn looked at the students with her eyebrows narrowed.

“Why is the atmosphere a little dark? Maybe I’m not in good shape… ?”

The three were warming up before the friendly match against Bushido Academy.

However, unlike before, there was a cold atmosphere between the three of them.

“that’s… .”

Kang Tae-min tried to explain, but kept his mouth shut. Then he turned and looked towards the entrance.

“It appears to have arrived.”

“Ah, you arrived on time this time!”

Moscow Academy arrived early, but Bushido Academy kept its promise.

“Oh, hello. This is Kyoko from Bushido Academy.”

Our lead teacher, Kyoko, greeted us in fluent Korean. Kang Tae-min lightly glanced at the other students and greeted them face-to-face.

“This is Kang Tae-min. You worked hard to come.”

“no. Ah, starting from here, they are Tatsuya, Shogo, and Youko.”

“hello!”

“It’s Bangafus!”

Tatsuya and Yoko greeted each other in fluent Korean. Shougo, on the other hand, only lowered his head.

Kang Tae-min also introduced the students. But it was still a cold atmosphere.

“Sensei Kang, do you know how to speak Japanese?”

“Yes, I know.”

“Aha, then you don’t have to worry about the same thing as back then.”

Rosalyn smiled brightly. Kyoko was confused, but soon turned her attention to Kang Tae-min’s words.

“The format of the match was decided to be a grand match.”

“Ah, yes.”

At those words, Song Dae-beom and Yoo Hwa-rin widened their eyes.

‘A great war?’

‘What is it?’

It was because the two hadn’t heard anything. But Joo Da-hyun already knew.

“Then can I prepare right away?”

“Yes, I understand. Everyone, get ready for the game!”

At Kyoko’s words, the Japanese team moved to the other side of the stage. When Kang Tae-min turned around, Song Dae-beom and Yoo Hwa-rin waited for an explanation.

But the words that came out of his mouth were unexpected.

“You guys won’t have to compete.”

“Yes?”

“Sam… ?”

Unlike the two who were surprised, Dahyun Joo glanced at her. And soon after Kang Tae-min looked at him, he opened his mouth.

“You two fought, I told you.”

“… what?”

“Hey you… !”

The two of them widened their eyes in shock. However, it was unfair to Ju Da-hyun.

‘Although I’ve already heard from Eruah.’

Before that, Irua had reported to Kang Taemin first. He had already prepared a countermeasure for this.

“So you’re saying that only Dahyun is leaving?”

“Sir, no matter how alone… .”

Taemin Kang shook his head.

Dahyun Joo didn’t say anything to disparage the other two. Rather, she communicated the situation for an objective evaluation.

“No, Dahyun isn’t going out either.”

Rosalind, who had been listening to those words, also widened her eyes.

“Mr. Kang?”

“Do not worry.”

Taemin Kang answered and gestured in the other direction. Then, a student who was warming up while wearing a hood approached.

Before long, he pulls up the hood.

“… Pyosuho?”

“Why are you here?”

Yuhwarin and Song Daebeom’s mouths opened wide. Pyo Soo-ho smiled awkwardly as he adjusted his sunglasses.

Taemin Kang was convinced.

“Only Suho will play in this match.”

One was enough.
