Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 31

Student cafeteria of Noblesse Academy.

Even though he has excellent skills, it was not easy to get rid of the problem child label for the special class, and it was even more difficult among the students.

Students were still wary of the special class.

‘Because I still have a homeroom teacher.’

‘There won’t be any problems again.’

However, that level of alert has definitely softened. It was because Kang Tae-min showed that he had complete control over the special class.

Thanks to this, the students in the other classes naturally accepted the existence of the special class students and Kang Tae-min, who leads them.

“…Who is that person?”

“Wow, it is very pretty.”

“Your skin is crazy.”

Therefore, it was only natural that attention was focused on the new faces who had joined the special class.

Although the attention was focused on her, Eruah didn’t show anything.

“Enjoy your meal, senior.”

“Yes. Let’s all eat.”

The students in the special class felt awkward for a moment, but soon became absorbed in the meal. It was because the desire to eat quickly and rest was stronger.

‘Does it guarantee personal time?’

Eruah read the atmosphere and melted. Thanks to that, the meal in silence ended quickly.

As usual, the students dispersed and only Kang Tae-min and Lee Woo-ah remained.

‘If I keep sticking around, I’ll be suspicious.’

It was dispatched as a surveillance station, but it was not something that would end overnight. It was necessary to adjust the tempo.

“I’m going to look around the academy for a while.”

“Ah, yes.”

Kang Tae-min was happy to let her go. And he quietly moved on.

‘It’s still steady.’

I don’t know Lee Lua, but Kang Taemin already knew her ability.

The name of the ability she awakened was ‘Shadow Surfer’, the power to melt into darkness and shadow and move.

‘I don’t think he would have been caught.’

Kang Tae-min could see that she was hiding in his shadow. Even in the shadows, it wasn’t out of his metal sensing range.

‘I need to talk to you separately.’

He pretended not to know anything and headed to a deserted bench. It was the moment when he confirmed that there was no one around and was about to call out Eruah.

Feeling the presence of people approaching this way, I turned around.

“Teacher Kang Tae-min.”

Katherine was calling out to her as she came running with a flushed face. Kang Tae-min had no choice but to put off talking to Lee Lu-ah.

“I, I…”

Catherine pursed her lips. Her breathing was erratic and she could see her eyes quivering.

Taemin Kang had a hunch.

‘Did he find out?’

I had been guessing since she wrote Bancha.

“I am listening.”

At Kang Tae-min’s words, Catherine was taken aback. His calm voice gradually calmed his breathing.

Catherine took a step closer to him.

“really sorry.”

She bowed her head and apologized. I couldn’t lift my head and the words continued.

“I heard everything. What happened that day, and what happened to the teacher…”

There was water in her voice. Fear and regret emanated from his trembling voice.

“I, I said harsh things without even knowing it. I didn’t think the teacher would have a harder time than me. He was a selfish person who only cared about me and me.”

My shoulders trembled. The crying grew louder. Catherine didn’t like that.

I didn’t want to look like I was the only one who came to the yard to apologize again.

“It’s okay if you don’t forgive me. I’m not saying that I want to be comfortable. I’m really, really sorry. Because of me, because of me…”

She apologized and realized. He realized his mistake by saying it out of his mouth.

Even wanting to live with Kang Tae-min as before is selfish.

‘I want to, I want to, but…’

Tears flowed again. I tried not to cry, but it was irresistible.

Emotions were sometimes like that. There was a time when it came like a disaster that was impossible to block with reason.

The bigger the opponent was, the more it was like that.

“Sigh, I’m sorry. This, I didn’t mean to do this.”

Catherine hurriedly wiped away tears. Taemin Kang looked at her blankly.

Memories with her belonged to teacher Kang Tae-min. For him, whether Catherine apologized or not wasn’t much of a thrill.

‘But, that’s not polite to him.’

However, Kang Tae-min could not ignore the memories of the body’s original owner. As a person who borrowed that body and lived a second life, he had an obligation to respect him.

“I have no regrets.”

In response, Kang Tae-min decided to reveal the mind of the original owner, not him.

Catherine wiped away tears and looked at Kang Tae-min.

“I was also glad that I was not alone. It was a pleasure to help you.”

The stories that teacher Kang Tae-min couldn’t tell. Before giving up on life, the thoughts buried deep in my heart.

It was a feeling of respect and gratitude, not romance.

“Why···.”

Katherine’s face became even more tearful. It had been a long time since he had expressed such rich emotions.

“Why don’t you blame me…! He said he was even threatened because of me…!”

“Because I don’t want you to suffer because of me.”

Teacher Kang Tae-min’s choice was always the same. As always, I thought it was something I just had to put up with.

At Kang Tae-min’s answer, Catherine’s eyes widened.

“Catherine, you are a good person.”

– Teacher Catherine is nice.

Kang Tae-min of now and Kang Tae-min of the past seemed to overlap. I thought I had changed to be like everyone else.

Then Taemin Kang took something out of his pocket.

“Now I have to give it back.”

It was a handkerchief.

Catherine knew what it was. Her goodwill, which allowed me to talk with Kang Tae-min.

it’s back again

Catherine’s gaze returned to Kang Tae-min from the handkerchief.

“···Nope.”

She didn’t get a handkerchief. Instead, I wiped the tears with my sleeve.

And he stretched out his hand to Kang Tae-min.

“Please keep it.”

Katherine gently held Kang Tae-min’s hand and made him grab the handkerchief.

could not receive

The handkerchief was the connecting point between himself and Kang Tae-min. It seemed that if I accepted even this, my relationship with him would end completely.

‘Like an idiot…!’

Didn’t you try to approach him? Why do you judge yourself and stop?

‘I was afraid of being rejected.’

Even if Kang Tae-min hated him, he thought he couldn’t help it. But what next?

Because he apologized, because he didn’t accept him. Did you mean to blame Kang Tae-min again like this?

No, it shouldn’t be like that.

“I know you won’t forgive me easily. But someday…”

Apologies are not for self-gratification. An apology is not complete until you receive forgiveness from the other person.

So you have to keep going. If you sincerely ask for forgiveness.

“I want to live like before.”

Taemin Kang looked down at her. Soon he opened his mouth.

“It was in the past… but I am no longer the Kang Taemin of that time.”

Even though she was determined, the answer that came back made Catherine’s heart stop.

However, Kang Tae-min’s words did not end there.

“People change, and relationships change with them. I just hope that the direction will always be a good one.”

After conveying the heart of teacher Kang Tae-min, now it was his turn to convey his will.

He had no intention of being uncomfortable with Catherine.

“I hope you get along better, not like before.”

“ah···.”

Tears welled up in Catherine’s eyes again. But the cause was not sadness.

Forgiven. his efforts were rewarded. As much as the deep sadness, the feeling of being filled up was as deep.

“thanks.”

At this she laughed. Taemin Kang also smiled lightly.

“It’s nice to see you smile.”

– It’s nice to see you smile.

Kang Tae-min from the past overlapped again. Catherine’s face flushed.

It’s probably because he cried.

She thought again that her appearance would be unseemly.

Could it be help from heaven? Just then, the bell ending lunchtime rang.

“I-I have to go!”

Catherine hastily turned around. Looking at her back, Kang Tae-min looked away.

‘Did he leave?’

Irua’s presence disappeared. It was evident that he went back to join the class naturally.

‘I’ve probably heard it all.’

His reconciliation with Catherine wasn’t just for emotional reasons. I also had the idea of showing the image of an ordinary (?) teacher to Eruah.

‘There comes a time when Catherine’s ability is needed.’

It was because there was a plan to use Catherine’s ability, ‘memory shift’.

* * *

The time after school approaches.

Irua peeked at Kang Taemin while organizing documents.

‘Were Kang Tae-min and Catherine like old lovers? No, it was a bit strange to say it was a conversation between lovers.’

Even reviewing the lunchtime conversation, it was difficult to infer the relationship between the two. But one thing was certain.

‘Unlike the general manager’s judgment, he’s the type that appeals to his emotions.’

At least it was confirmed that Kang Tae-min was not a person like Mok-seok.

‘It’s worth trying a method of approaching with reason.’

Irua was confident that she would pretend that much for her own purpose.

“Today, a welcome party is scheduled to celebrate Mr. Lee Lua’s appointment as a teacher. If you are unable to attend the dinner, please let us know in advance.”

It was Cha Dong-hyuk’s voice.

It was the first day of my appointment, so there was a welcome party. Irua decided to stare at that time.

Most of the teachers expressed their participation. Catherine didn’t answer right away and looked at her.

‘Teacher Kang Tae-min goes too…?’

Kang Tae-min did not get along well with people. That’s why he avoided the dinner party, and other people didn’t bother to take him.

Catherine wasn’t quite like that, but she just ate and came out right away.

“I will go too.”

Kang Tae-min raised his hand to express his intention. The teachers around me widened their eyes in surprise.

“of course. It’s a welcome party for the burden, but the homeroom teacher can’t miss it. Mr. Cheon Ho-young, please make a reservation for the dinner venue.”

“Ah, yes!”

Cheon Ho-young, who had fallen into a situation where he was caught eating, quickly replied.

Eventually, the work was finished and the teachers moved to the dining room as a group.

Eating was no different for an awakened person, so a decent meat restaurant was selected as the place for a dinner party.

“Sleep, come in.”

Chun Ho-young moved quickly. The teachers began to sit down in the order they entered.

Irua’s eyes quickly returned.

‘I’ll have to adjust the order to sit next to Kang Tae-min naturally.’

She adjusted her pace so that others would not notice. I kept a reasonable distance so as not to look too explicit, and induced other teachers to enter first.

‘···Well?’

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Looking at the other teachers, there was one person who stood out.

‘Was it a romantic relationship after all?’

It was Catherine. Unlike Irua, she slowed her pace to the point where it was obvious.

However, the other teachers did not suspect that she was doing this to sit next to Kang Tae-min.

I just judged that I was aiming for a seat on the outskirts that was easy to get out of because I usually just eat and leave right away.

That’s how all the teachers’ seats were set.

With Kang Tae-min at the center, Katherine and Eruah took their places on both sides.

“Can’t I make cold noodles in advance now?”

Opposite Kang Tae-min was Seol Ga-eun.

The meeting went smoothly. After lightly filling the hunger with meat, alcohol came out.

“Sensei Lua, are you into soju or beer?”

“No, I’ll have to ask you how much you drink first.”

“We don’t have to force ourselves to drink, so just drink comfortably.”

As much as she was the main character of the welcome party, it was an atmosphere of consideration for Eruah.

“I’m fine with anything.”

The person in question, Eruah, was not interested in alcohol. Rather, it was important to approach Kang Tae-min.

“Yes? Come on, everyone, fill your glasses.”

“that’s right. It’s a welcome party, so let’s have a toast.”

A serious drinking party has begun.

As usual at a dinner party, each table had a separate conversation.

“Senior, are you good at drinking?”

“Well, I can’t eat it.”

“Then I’ll pour you a drink.”

“Ah, thank you.”

At Lee Lua’s words, Kang Tae-min held out his glass without hesitation. Katherine glanced from the side, but she emptied the glass by herself.

“Hey, would you like some more meat?”

“Just do it. Isn’t it a legal car anyway?”

At Seol Ga-eun’s question, another teacher laughed and whispered. However, her gaze turned to Kang Tae-min.

“It’s okay if I eat alone. Anything on the menu you want to eat?”

“Ah, it’s okay.”

Seol Ga-eun shook her head at Kang Tae-min’s refusal.

“Right. Beef is definitely delicious, but Minotaur steak keeps coming to mind.”

“Ah, I see. It sure was delicious.”

When Kang Tae-min responded, she seemed to feel better and called the staff to add more menu items.

“Senior, have another drink.”

Irua quickly filled the empty glass. Not only Kang Tae-min, but also filled the glasses of other people in moderation.

‘Are you going to make me drunk and observe?’

Kang Tae-min could easily read the intention. But that won’t happen.

It was because he was literally an iron man, so if he set his mind to it, he would never get drunk.

* * *

The drinking party was ripe and the teachers left one by one. Seol Ga-eun and Catherine could not overcome their drunkenness and returned home first.

and Eruah.

“The Holy Grail… Ning… Hang Zandri…”

I tried to get Kang Tae-min drunk, but in the end I got drunk first.

“Hmm, it’s getting late. It would be better to end the banquet for tomorrow.”

The only ones who were fine were Cha Dong-hyuk and Kang Tae-min. At Cha Dong-hyuk’s words, the teachers staggered and rose from their seats.

“Irua-sensei hopes that Mr. Kang will take care of it. I’ll text you the address.”

“Yes, I understand. Lua, let’s go.”

Kang Tae-min obediently followed Cha Dong-hyuk’s instructions. Irua followed him with half-closed eyes.

“Gatti… must be.”

“Yes, excuse me for a second.”

Kang Tae-min put Lee Lu-ah, who caught him, into the back seat of the taxi. And he got into the passenger seat and headed to the address that Cha Dong-hyuk had given him.

By the time the taxi stopped, Irua was completely asleep.

‘The drinking habit is still the same.’

Kang Tae-min supported her and headed home. Then he knocked lightly on the front door.

“sister?”

A voice came from inside and the door opened.

He was a man whose features resembled that of Irua. He had a young face, but his broad shoulders and stocky body were as good as those of most adults.

“ah···.”

He looked at Kang Taemin and Lee Lua alternately with bewildered eyes.

“This is Kang Tae-min from Noblesse Academy. Lua is very drunk.”

“Oh yes! My younger sister, my name is Inoa.”

Inoa bowed politely and supported Irua.

“Uh, sorry. Ugh, what kind of alcohol did you drink…”

Inoa wrinkled his nose at the smell of alcohol. Kang Tae-min sneaked into the house.

“Excuse me, can I have some water?”

Kang Tae-min just had no intention of going back.

In the first place, the purpose he remained at the dinner party was not Lee Lua, but her younger brother, Inoa.

“Oh yes! Come on in.”

It was because he was Eruah’s weakness and negotiation card.
