Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Chapter 158

Hwang Ye-ri has visited Crown Island every day since Kang Tae-min brought Ko Jeong-hwan.

She didn’t want to leave her side even for a moment, but as a guild’s leader, she had a responsibility to shoulder.

“… Why are you lying down again?”

She looked at the treatment capsule and said.

-Oh, just five more minutes…

Go Jung-hwan grumbled and seemed to turn his body. When we were together, we were always late.

However, the fixed ring in the capsule did not even move. Hwang Ye-ri’s gaze turned to the part of the body where the undead had progressed.

“Get up quickly.”

Still better than before. Ko Jeong-hwan is still alive.

“You said you wanted me to be happy.”

– I just want my sister to be happy.

But there was not much time left. Go Jung-hwan’s words kept ringing in my head.

Hwang Ye-ri lowered her head. Drops of water fell on the glass of the capsule.

‘… If only I had been forced to go.’

She entrusted Kang Tae-min to take care of Go Jung-hwan. regretted that fact.

Why did he leave Ko Jeong-hwan’s life in someone else’s hands? It would have been easier to accept if it was his fault.

‘If only I had run away together then.’

If Koh Jung-hwan had accepted the offer when he first came to see him and suggested that he use Pete’s ability to escape abroad.

Ko Jeong-hwan would not have acted as a spy, and many people would have been sacrificed for Torso’s plan. If even Necrod joined in such chaos, it might have become a crisis comparable to a cataclysm.

Go Jeong-hwan helped prevent such a terrible thing.

But what use is it all for?

You can’t be around the person you care about. The people who saved their lives through that sacrifice don’t even know the existence of Go Jeong-hwan.

‘Why did it have to be Jeonghwan? Why?’

Hwang Ye-ri was already sensitive to damage. The affection and pity for Go Jung-hwan became the food of anger and hatred.

However, Nerod, the obvious target of revenge, died, and Nobody disappeared. Boiling emotions fluctuated inside her without direction.

It was like a taut balloon, ready to explode with a single needle.

“He came today too.”

Hwang Ye-ri turned her head. Johanna was silently looking at herself.

In the past, she was responsible for Go Jung-hwan’s death, but now she was responsible for his life.

‘Even if I hadn’t made seeds from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.’

The fury that was lost was looking for a way out. Now she seemed to be able to find reasons to hate anyone.

But it didn’t.

As long as Go Jeong-hwan doesn’t completely leave her side, she will endure it.

“The cure.”

There were no expectations.

I came every day, but the answer that came back was the same.

I thought it would be the same this time too.

“I was just looking for you.”

“… what?”

But this time the answer was different.

“Because I have to explain.”

“Described? What explanation?”

Have you ever found a way?

Hwang Ye-ri wanted to open Johanna’s mouth right away to hear an answer.

But the words that came out of Johanna’s mouth were not the answers she wanted.

“I’m sorry, but the treatment of Ko Jeong-hwan is beyond my ability.”

“… what?”

Johanna’s renunciation.

But she couldn’t accept it easily.

“Are you going to abandon Jeonghwan again? Like back then?”

“what? no… .”

“I can’t let it go like that… !”

Hwang Ye-ri gritted it.

There was something she thought of as a last resort.

Her bloodshot eyes turned to Johanna. The crossbow was aimed at Johanna with a clicking sound.

“Call the devil.”

If humans couldn’t do it, they had no choice but to borrow the power of other beings.

Hwang Ye-ri was thinking of finding a way to save Go Jeong-hwan at the cost of her soul.

“I really… .”

Johanna sighed as if it were absurd.

“Do I look ridiculous? What kind of devil vending machine am I? And do you think Go Jeong-hwan will be safe if we fight here?”

Hwang Ye-ri flinched at those words. Before Johanna could say anything more, another person appeared from behind.

“Both of you, stop.”

“Kang Tae-min… !”

Hwang Ye-ri’s face crumpled. To her, Kang Tae-min was the culprit who put Ko Jeong-hwan in danger, so she didn’t want to face her.

“Didn’t you ask me to leave the explanation… ?”

“As you can see, I’m not in a state to listen, so I thought I’d cool my head.”

Johanna showed both hands. Before I knew it, the magic circle from which pure white cold air flowed was completed.

Taemin Kang shook his head with a calm expression.

“I tried not to talk about it directly because he was shy with me, but I need to tell him before the misunderstanding grows.”

“What the hell… .”

“There is a solution.”

Hwang Ye-ri’s eyes shook.

Then, what was Johanna’s story from earlier? Are you trying to catch yourself off guard?

As if having read the question, Johanna retracted her magic and said.

“It is not me who treats him. That’s what I was trying to explain.”

“Johanna-sama, it would be nice not to have to choose right now.”

“Yes, anyway, courtiers have bad tempers.”

At those words, Hwang Ye-ri also grasped the situation. I felt sorry, but Ko Jeong-hwan was more important right now.

“Any solution? what is that?”

“… It’s not much different from what Hwang Ye-ri said.”

* * *

Kang Tae-min’s solution, to be precise, the fixers arrived quickly.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen this separately as a member.”

The person who greeted him was Pyo Ji-hun. Hwang Ye-ri looked at him with cold eyes.

Eventually, his gaze turned to Pyo Soo-ho, the man next to Pyo Ji-hoon.

“Uh, how are you!”

Pyo Soo-ho, who flinched for a moment, lowered his back with a powerful voice. Hwang Ye-ri did not receive a greeting and looked up and down the Pyo-su-ho.

“… I know what Pyo Soo-ho’s ability is.”

Pyosuho’s ability, ‘Neutralizer’, neutralizes other mana. In fact, he had a record of breaking through the barriers of the ‘Command Tower of the Sea of Sisan’.

The fact that his ability is also applicable to necromantic means that it has already been verified.

That’s why Hwang Ye-ri also thought of using that ability.

“But are you sure you can get rid of Nekrod’s necromancy with this?”

However, there was a reason why she did not readily ask Pyo Soo-ho for help.

“Anyway, you’re still a kid, aren’t you?”

First of all, Pyosuho’s mana was not very large. The category he could neutralize was directly related to the amount of mana.

“If the wound opens, it will accelerate further… !”

The second reason was that it wasn’t just Nekrod’s necromancy that he neutralized.

Pyo Soo-ho’s ability will even neutralize Ko Jeong-hwan’s ability, and the blade will enter Go Jeong-hwan’s body as well.

If fraud that was not neutralized through that wound penetrated, there was a risk of hastening Ko Jeong-hwan’s death.

‘I can’t believe Pyo Ji-hoon’s ability.’

And the last reason.

He didn’t say anything, but Hwang Ye-ri decided that Pyo Ji-hun was to blame for Go Jeong-hwan’s willingness to accept the seed experiment.

If it wasn’t for the future he foresaw with his déjà vu ability, Ko Jeong-hwan wouldn’t have thought about it a little more.

Anxiety based on experience served as a brake on her decision, and Pyo Pyo and Johanna understood that.

The moment when an uncomfortable silence is about to fall.

“I heard the story.”

Pyo Soo-ho abruptly raised his hand and erased the silence.

“what?”

“That… I know what my father and Johanna did.”

After Pyo Soo-ho learned the secret of his birth, Pyo Ji-hun did not hide the secret from his son and wanted to be recognized as a proud father.

“It’s understandable that you don’t trust them easily. Because I did too.”

“What is that… .”

Hwang Ye-ri couldn’t understand at all. However, as soon as the white aura bloomed on Pyo Soo-ho’s body, the question was replaced by a new question.

“… you?”

The seal that looked like a tattoo on his body was scattered and Pyo Soo-ho’s body changed completely.

The skin flaps revealed when the top was torn, the horns sprouting from the head, and finally, the eyes with the color reversed when the sunglasses were removed.

Hwang Ye-ri was dumbfounded and unable to speak.

“As you can see, I’m not just a normal kid.”

Pyo Soo-ho said with a shy smile.

“Suho is not human. So, you might want to change your criteria a bit.”

Hwang Ye-ri hurriedly averted her eyes at Kang Tae-min’s explanation. She was the only one surprised.

“I won’t hide anything this time.”

Pyo Ji-hoon explained the inside story with a slightly bitter expression. Hwang Ye-ri was surprised but understood Kang Tae-min’s words.

‘The devil’s body… .’

After much thought, she made a decision.

“… great.”

He decided to entrust Pyo Soo-ho with the treatment of Ko Jeong-hwan. Pyo Soo-ho and Pyo Ji-hoon’s faces brightened at that decision.

“Instead, don’t use your powers. Because I don’t think I can do it.”

Hwang Ye-ri glared at Pyo Ji-hoon and said. He smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“Okay, okay. then… .”

“Are you ready?”

At Kang Tae-min’s question, Pyo Soo-ho shook his head. Kang Tae-min then looked at Yohanna and she opened the capsule.

Pyo Soo-ho pulled out his sword and demonstrated his ability. He looked down at Go Jeong-hwan and raised his sword vertically.

“… Please.”

The sword fell along with Hwang Ye-ri’s words. The dry skin was torn open and black blood poured out.

Hwang Ye-ri flinched, but did not look away.

“it’s okay.”

Pyo Soo-ho said.

It ran ravenously toward the gaping wound Nekrod had left behind.

However, the white aura of the Leopard Tiger did not allow the invasion. Black and white blended together and disappeared like smoke.

Pyo Soo-ho finely adjusted his aura. Everything would go wrong if there was even the slightest opening to allow fraud to penetrate.

It took a while to concentrate so much that I had no idea how much time had passed.

“finished… .”

All visible fraud has been neutralized. I could see the rotting flesh and dry skin slowly recovering.

Pyo Soo-ho slowly drew his sword. Pyo Ji-hoon urgently grabbed hold of him as he staggered as if he was quite exhausted.

“Suho… !”

“It’s okay, father. I didn’t expect to feel dizzy with this body.”

Pyo Soo-ho’s voice was low on energy, but he had room to smile.

“Ugh… .”

“Junghwan!”

Just then, Ko Jeong-hwan groaned and his eyes trembled. Hwang Ye-ri hurriedly touched his face.

“… sister?”

“Jeonghwan-ah… Jung Hwan… .”

“Is your sister crying? why are you crying?”

Koh Jung-hwan worried about her despite the pain he felt upon waking up. Seeing that, the anger accumulated inside Hwang Ye-ri disappeared like snow melting.

“You’d better give them some time.”

“… Wouldn’t you like to do it here?”

Watching Yohanna leave the treatment room, Pyo Ji-hoon followed with an embarrassing smile.

In the meantime, Pyo Soo-ho, who was looking at the two happily, bowed his head to Kang Tae-min.

“Thank you teacher.”

“What do you mean?”

“… In fact, I was still thinking about it. Can I really live like a human with a body like this?”

Taemin Kang looked at him for a moment and then nodded.

“I was vaguely aware of it. There must have been no reason for resigning as CEO.”

“Oh, you are a teacher after all.”

“It doesn’t matter where you were born. What a person is like a person is revealed in his thoughts and actions. And it is the teacher’s duty to teach such thoughts and actions.”

Taemin Kang smiled lightly.

“I guarantee that you are human.”

“… thank you.”

Pyo Soo-ho let out a voice that sounded a bit choked up. However, as if it had never happened, the voice gained strength again.

“I think it’s a bit of a waste to give up the representative position.”

“Would you like to reverse it?”

“It can’t be. It’s not long until the preliminaries.”

The world tournament qualifiers were approaching. It was impossible to step forward to represent again now.

Kang Tae-min also did not have the heart to allow it.

“Pyo Soo-ho, can you come soon? Do you know how long it takes to re-engrave the seal?”

“Ah yes! going!”

Johanna, who was leading the way, said as if urging. At her words, Pyo Soo-ho quickly moved.
