Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 121

It was thanks to the media that I learned about Shogo Okubo.

Before returning, I was active as Iron Judgment, and people called me a ‘vigilante’.

-Many Awoken during the Cataclysm era acted as vigilantes. They were the heroes we needed. But things are different now! Iron Judgment is not a hero, but a thug who disturbs the rule of law!

I still remember a professor who appeared as a panelist in a news discussion and uttered a passionate speech.

I didn’t pay much attention to it because I didn’t want to be treated as a hero, but the data the professor presented later caught my attention.

– There is a similar case in Japan. He is an Awakener who commits crimes under the name of ‘FullPain’ in the name of condemning criminals.

Full Pain, that was the name of the mask Shogo Okubo wore. I got a little interested in the word similar to me. So I watched the discussion without averting my eyes.

– Do you know what the characteristics of these vigilantes are? That’s ‘optional definition’! The reason we have to establish and abide by the law is that equal standards should be applied to everyone, but they choose the target of punishment based on their own standards.

The professor looked very disapproving. Eventually, the case of Full Pain came out on the data screen.

– This vigilante named Fulpain has no interest in other crimes. I’m only interested in juvenile crime.

The target of Pulpain’s condemnation did not matter whether he was awakened or not. It targeted only the so-called ‘law enforcement boys’ who did not get punished even if they committed a crime.

The professor used him as an example and criticized me.

-Iron Judgment is no different. The criteria by which he selects the target is extremely arbitrary.

– But, isn’t there evidence that all of those subjects committed crimes?

In response to the opinion of the opposing panel, the professor raised his voice even more.

– Exactly. That’s more of a problem! He is doing private sanction even though the law can judge criminals. Ironically, while ignoring the fact that his own actions were criminal!

I do not remember the outcome of the discussion. It was because the story about Full Pain ended there, so I turned my attention away from the broadcast.

And it was only after a while that I met him.

-Iron Judgment?

It was when they attacked the Yakuza, the main trading target of the Junkie Breeders. I wondered if there were reinforcements, so I was alert and the person appeared.

He was a man with a small body that did not suit Yakuzawa and wore a hood that could even cover his face.

He recognized me in a little awkward Korean.

-really? The real Iron Judgment?! I’m a huge fan!

Fulpain waved his hand in a very excited voice. Between the corpses of the yakuza and the thugs, casually.

-Are you a fan?

-Yes! Do you, do you know me? I use the nickname Full Pain…

-What are you doing here?

I cut him off and asked. Fulpain scratched the back of his head, pointing at the yakuza I had killed.

-That was the guy I targeted.

The dead yakuza were involved in a variety of crimes, not just drug trafficking.

Among them, the reason Fulpain pursued him was, of course, related to juvenile delinquency.

It is said that he took care of the back of the delinquent son while taking money, and made the female students steal their virginity and took a video and sold it.

Yakuza only supported behind the scenes, and the perpetrators were not punished or were only punished with a cotton bat.

-I heard you ran away to Korea, so I followed you, but I didn’t expect you to be on Iron Judgment’s radar! It’s really great!

Full Pain looked genuinely happy. He shook his head as he examined the body of the dead yakuza.

– Did it hurt you enough? You didn’t kill it all at once, did you?

-Let’s go out at once.

I had no intention of chatting leisurely, so I left my seat. I could have left him, but I took him with me in case he got involved in what I was doing.

After hearing the story, Fulpain revealed that he started vigilante activities out of admiration for me.

-Ah, I wanted to ask you one question. Why don’t you leave a signature these days?

-signature?

-Yes. Originally, you always left the phrase ‘Don’t Be Villain’.

It was the story of the beginning of the activity. To inform the villains of my existence, I left a message in their blood on the scene.

But that too was abandoned shortly thereafter.

-Because of copycats.

A territorial battle between villains or a murder after a personal quarrel. The criminals tried to evade tracking by impersonating me.

Of course, the association wasn’t stupid enough to be fooled so easily, but I gave up after realizing that there were side effects to my act of leaving a phrase.

– Ugh, is it really…

I didn’t even ask, but Fulpain told me that it wouldn’t be like that if it was him.

Thanks to that, I was able to fully understand Fulpain’s personal history.

-Still, I am grateful for your existence.

-Thank you?

-Yes. I couldn’t die, so I just locked myself in my room.

His ability to regenerate was like a kind of spinal cord reflex. The only thing I could control with my will was the sharing of pain.

– But when I saw that phrase, I changed my mind. ‘Don’t Be Villain’. That means don’t be a villain, don’t live as a villain, and.

As he said, perhaps because he had been alone for a long time, Fulpain tended to be buried in his own thoughts.

– Villains don’t exist. Right? ‘Be’ also means existence!

-… right.

I didn’t think so much about writing it, but I accepted it. Then Fulpain’s voice changed to a more excited voice.

-Ho, did Iron Judgment know about me?

– Heard and saw.

– Wow… ! I-I will work harder!

-as you please.

I had no intention of interfering with him. Although it is said that it was influenced by me, it had nothing to do with my will.

Instead, he requested only one.

-Don’t move unless there is evidence that the opponent is a villain.

-Yes! I’ll keep that in mind!

so we broke up

And the next thing I heard about him was the news of his death.

Overcoming suffering was not the exclusive property of heroes.

Kang Tae-min looked at Shougo, who was perplexed.

‘Is the story with Suho the trigger this time?’

He knew not only Shogo’s story, but also Tatsuya’s and Yuuko’s misdeeds through the Karma Log.

They followed to eliminate the two, but Shougo subdued them instead.

“Ji, what now? No, what the hell are you… ?”

“If you want revenge, I will help you.”

Revenge is the right of the victim.

Kang Tae-min did not have the heart to take away Shogo’s revenge. Rather, I had a greater desire to help.

“What do you want to do?”

Shogo’s head was confused. The wound had already healed again, and only the piercing reverberation of pain was stimulating his mind.

Shogo’s gaze returned to the two who had fallen.

“… What if I do nothing?”

“Nothing will happen.”

Taemin Kang replied immediately.

But that was a lie.

He followed with the intention of getting rid of Tatsuya and the evil Yoko.

As in the case of Russia, it could be a diplomatic issue again, but that was not an issue Kang Tae-min cared about.

“nothing… .”

Shougo murmured and chewed on his words.

– What’s different about living?

-you.

Pyo Soo-ho’s words lingered in my head. Why did those words shake his heart?

‘Because I want to change.’

Why did he want to give up his life?

It was because of the thought that this miserable life would not change. However, Pyo Soo-ho told him the hope that he could change.

“… I will avenge you.”

Shogo made a decision.

I won’t just live like this.

“then… .”

“But.”

When Taemin Kang turned his head, Shougo grabbed Yuuko’s scythe. And he said it out loud.

“I will do it on my own.”

“… As you like.”

Taemin Kang took a step back. but didn’t leave.

Shogo didn’t urge him to leave either. Instead, he embarked on a vendetta.

“… You guys have to live.”

He had no intention of killing either of them.

“You must live and suffer.”

I had no intention of letting this depravity continue. He intended to cripple them both.

“Then you will change too.”

Shogo changed Pyo Soo-ho’s words to a slightly different meaning. The direction of change was not only positive.

He wanted these two to fall into a pit deeper than death.

The next day, Noblesse Academy’s principal’s office.

Rosalyn was watching the news with a deep sigh.

＜The injury incident that happened last night at a certain hotel gave me a great shock. The perpetrator and victim are known to be students of Bushido Academy in Japan. What is unusual is that the two students, the victims, first performed sadistic acts on the perpetrator.＞

“What is this again… Did you get sick in the friendly match? If you stick with us, there will be an uproar.”

Rosalyn muttered with a frown on her face. Fortunately, unlike Russia, it was that they fought among themselves, so the responsibility was clear.

＜An expert predicted that the punishment of the perpetrator would not be severe because both the perpetrator and the victim were young and self-defense was recognized.＞

“Both Bush and Academy are on the dog side, on the dog side. Even after becoming an Awakener, I sat down with Ijime… Tzu-tsuk.”

Details were to be decided at trial. Rosalyn clicked her tongue, turned off the news, and averted her eyes.

“Sir Kang.”

“Yes.”

She was not alone in the principal’s office. Kang Tae-min was seated at her request.

“Well, I didn’t call you because of that. The Chinese side delayed the schedule, right?”

“Isn’t that canceling?”

“There is pride in appearance. If I cancel it, it will show that I was scared. But it’s not like it’s been delayed for a day or two… .”

Rosalyn wrinkled the tip of her nose, then her eyes twinkled.

“So, how did you decide?”

“If it is the final selection, it is still. There is still a deadline, so there is no need to rush.”

The World Youth Hunter Championship was scheduled for the end of the year. It was until November that the final selection number was handed over to the association, so there was still plenty of room.

“Aw, well then. It’s my first time doing this, so I’m in a bit of a hurry. Mr. Kang, please understand.”

In response, Rosalyn let out a nice laugh. And the reason I called him today wasn’t the state.

“Now the heat is slowly going away, right? What else to do after summer passes? It’s a school trip.”

Rosalyn said with a bashful laugh. She also wanted to get out of the stuffy principal’s office and join the school trip to take a break.

“So, Mr. Kang, do you have a place in mind? At my discretion, even 3 nights and 4 days is possible?”

It was said with not only domestic but also overseas in mind.

“Well, 3 nights and 4 days is a bit long. If that happens, I think it will interfere with training.”

“Then what? But it sounds like there is a fixed place, right? Where, where are you going?”

her eyes lit up

Subtly expressing expectations, he hoped that he would notice that he intended to follow suit.

‘Well, domestic isn’t bad either. It’s not even the time of year for deep sea monsters, so the East Sea side or Jeju Island would be fine.’

While she was imagining happiness, Kang Tae-min answered calmly.

“… is.”

“… Eh?”

The moment she heard the destination he had chosen for the school trip, Rosalind immediately doubted whether she had heard it correctly.

He wondered if he had declared that he had given up hearing.

“Now, wait. Mr. Kang, where are you now?”

“It was called Underground.”

Kang Tae-min put a wedge in her. Rosalyn’s eyes widened as if they would pop out.

“Uh, maybe… Is there a new amusement park called Underground?”

“no.”

Of course, there was no such place.

There is one underground that Taemin Kang talks about.

“It is correct to talk about the Villain camp and the underground.”

school trip

It fits the meaning of a journey to polish learning.

‘I can’t let them play.’

Kang Tae-min prepared a special plan.
