Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Chapter 36

Spiral Guild Headquarters.

Ju Tae-ji was having a meeting with Jang Seung-ho, the head of the management office.

“Next on the agenda is the scouting of the Youth Hunter Championship.”

“Well.”

It is a competition for academy students who are not even active, but are just starting out.

However, each guild was paying attention to recruiting talent.

“According to the analysis of the management office, we are thinking about 7 people.”

“Seven people? Isn’t that too little?”

Ju Taiji’s eyebrows twitched.

Anyone else would have thought that he had offended Changhwang and would have corrected it immediately.

Jang Seung-ho was different.

“You should know that the size of our Spiral Guild is extraordinary.”

“Heh heh, you know that well.”

“However, compared to that, the supply and demand of gates are insufficient. It’s not a problem right away, but considering the random occurrence of the gates, it could be a problem.”

“Hmm, you’re right, but…”

Taeji Joo had a sad face. Jang Seung-ho looked troubled, but he did not bend.

“If the number of new hunters increases, there is no choice but to reduce the share of existing hunters. Of course, dissatisfaction will build up, and you may fall for the tricks of headhunters.”

“Huh, wasn’t our guild so distrustful?”

“Believe is good, but in the end people prefer to hold it in their own hands.”

Ju Taiji sighed and nodded his head.

“Okay. I’ll leave that to Chief Jang.”

“Yes, thank you. The next agenda is…”

Just as Jang Seung-ho was about to continue talking, Ju Tae-ji raised his hand with a thundering vibration.

“for a bit.”

“Yes.”

Taeji Joo checked his smartphone and smiled with satisfaction. And immediately showed the screen to Jang Seung-ho.

“Heh heh, Dahyun sent me a video of him training.”

To an unfamiliar person, it looked like an eight-year-old man, but there was a reason why Ju Taiji was like that.

“As expected, he is our nephew.”

It was because Jang Seung-ho was not just the head of the management office, but Joo Da-hyun’s maternal uncle.

“Say that. It really grows up day by day.”

“you’re right. You really don’t know how time passes when you see the kids grow up.”

Jang Seung-ho smiled and cheered.

“I wish my son and daughter-in-law would have seen this…”

But soon Taeji’s smile turned bitter. Although he did not show this in front of others, it was because Jang Seung-ho was from his mother’s family.

Jang Seung-ho also erased his smile and hardened his face.

“I’m glad you’re growing well. I was going to appoint him as the successor once I graduate from the academy…”

Ju Taiji planned to educate his granddaughter as soon as he graduated. However, after meeting Kang Tae-min, my thoughts changed.

“I’m not sure what my granddaughter thinks.”

“Dahyeon would make a good successor. But if you refuse, who…?”

Jang Seung-ho asked cautiously. Ju Taiji frowned and rolled his eyes.

“Well, wouldn’t the granddaughter find a decent husband? You can hand it over to that friend.”

“…the husband?”

“It’s a joke. Can I hand it over so easily?”

When Ju Tae-ji laughed, Jang Seung-ho also laughed emptyly. After finishing the agenda, he left the conference room.

His face, which had been full of laughter, turned cold as soon as the door closed.

‘…a crazy old man with a spear.’

Jang Seung-ho asked this far away. As if the heat he had been holding back rose, even the veins on his forehead bulged.

‘Can you hand over the successor position to that kid? Crazy? Is guild management a joke?!’

Being outstanding as a Hunter and managing a guild stably were two different things.

‘Who owes the Spiral Guild to such success!’

Jang Seung-ho looked out the window at the private property.

Hunters couldn’t even enter the gate if they weren’t confident. I wouldn’t have been able to build a decent office building, let alone private land.

All of this is an achievement made by his own hands as the head of the management office.

‘How dare you not know grace…!’

However, Taiji Ju has no intention of handing over the guild to his mother’s family. Jang Seung-ho couldn’t leave it like that.

Everything he had cultivated could not be taken away by hand.

* * *

Three days have passed since the Colosseum club activities started.

“Soyul, did you make all the potions?”

“Wait!”

“No, it’s okay! Take it slow!”

On one side, Seol Ga-eun and So-yul were carrying potions. This was the reason Soyul was included in the club’s activities in the first place.

No matter how much we were considered to be in the top class within the academy, there was bound to be a difference in level from active duty.

I replaced that gap with Soyul’s potion buff. It was possible because the Spiral Guild procured enough materials.

In addition, Soyul was devoted to alchemy without a wish.

“Huh…”

“I will die.”

“Good job everyone.”

Still, most of the students struggled. Seol Ga-eun encouraged the students by distributing potions.

At least, four people are on an equal footing with the active duty soldiers.

They were Ko Min-soo, Lee No-ah, Song Dae-bum, and Joo Da-hyun.

“scent···.”

“Noah is real art, art.”

Among them, Inoa was by far the best. It’s because of the excellent talent that was unleashed.

Of course it was to be expected.

Before returning, Inoa was engrossed in rehabilitation because he did not want to be a burden to Leerua even with his crippled body. Then, as soon as the mana prosthetic hand that can operate mana was developed, he grabbed the sword again.

Even though it was a talent that bloomed belatedly, Inoa was called the master of the sword, the sword master, so I said it all.

However, since the lost two eyes did not return, a blind person was attached to him, and he was active under the name of the blind sword master.

And his sword pointed at Iron Judgment. It was one of the worst memories I had and one that shouldn’t have happened.

Of course, that would never happen in this lifetime.

“Minsu has been very angry since Noah came.”

“It feels like serious mode.”

The growth of Go Min-soo was also noticeable. Before returning, he lived as he pleased and walked the path of a villain, so he must have neglected self-development.

But now it’s different.

After she shook off her past, she became somewhat obedient, and after Lee Noah transferred to school, it seemed that she had the unique desire to compete as an athlete.

As I remember what I looked like when I was a villain, I couldn’t help but feel new.

“Surprisingly, doesn’t Song Dae-beom hold up well?”

“Admit that.”

“Isn’t that what happened because I always dropped out during training and only trained for special training?”

The other students said it was a joke, but it wasn’t completely wrong.

At the beginning of school, Song Dae-beom was a weak-willed and bad boy who only tried to stand out among his friends, but now he has changed.

Song Dae-beom was training at a separate training ground even when there was no supplementary education.

Unlike the other guys, he had the will to become a hunter, and he added fun to his self-development through special training.

“Mr. Lua, I’m going to smoke a cigarette for a while.”

“Ah yes. Seniors.”

I asked for a cigarette in the smoking room. I like how these guys are improving, but there are still problems.

“It’s a seed…”

The ‘seed’ of No-Name that the Mimic Predator said was still a threat.

Based on his testimony, the seed enhances the target’s ability and brings spiritual ‘liberation’.

If so, there is a high possibility that No-Name is a person with mental abilities. And in the context, I wondered if ‘liberation’ would mean lifting some kind of mental limit.

It is to erase the ‘good’ from the standard of evil that each person has, the common expression ‘crossing the line’.

Then he would be able to commit any evil deed without hesitation. It’s an optimized ability to create a villain.

“Whoa…”

I spit out the smoke and lightly rubbed the butt to put it out. But I didn’t leave the smoking room right away.

Even before returning, No Name had never appeared. Even so, if you’ve been planting seeds, it’s highly likely that you haven’t come into direct contact with the ‘test subject’ he said.

If so, the ‘seed’ would be a substance with substance. Seeing as I couldn’t find any trace of it on the Mimic Predator’s corpse, it must be the kind that disappears over time.

The problem is that no country can monitor all students 24 hours a day.

So you need to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Even if it’s preparation, it’s about maintaining your original focus.

-If you want to live, behave well.

The first thing I said when I was in charge of the special class came to mind. When students become villains, they are punished. That proposition remains unchanged.

But I’m trying to avoid that. If the seeds are planted, they must be straightened so that they do not germinate easily.

No Name said it was an ‘experiment’, so just because a seed was planted, there was no guarantee that it would germinate.

“Sir, did you name someone?”

“Not yet.”

When I came back, Ju Da-hyun was asking Iru-a with a sullen expression.

Unlike other students, Joo Da-hyun was pointed out less than 5 times in the past 3 days.

The reason was simple.

It was because Ju Da-hyeon was the granddaughter of Changhwang. It’s called sparring, but isn’t it a yard that could buy Changhwang’s wrath if a problem arises?

The hunters who were first pointed out did not know who Ju Da-hyun was.

“Joo Dahyun, come up.”

“Yes?”

“I can’t waste time like this.”

I was standing by in case of an accident, but there was also Yirua besides me. Her skills are enough to cover it.

“Thank you, Master!”

Ju Da-hyun looked rather happy. Soon after, I brought my camera and tripod and started setting it up.

“It is ready!”

* * *

in front of the training center.

A woman was talking on the phone while adjusting her sunglasses.

＜Did you arrive?＞

“I called because I did. Do you do a job or two?”

＜The target is Changhwang’s granddaughter. Be careful not to be discovered.＞

Her true identity was that of a hitman. Under the name of ‘Sweet Toxin’, it was also an Awakener that could poison body secretions.

She could control the degree of toxicity, infectivity and even the incubation period.

“Okay, when you’re done, make a deposit right away.”

＜Okay. Just hang up.＞

She ended the call with the broker and put a piece of gum in her mouth. It was her habit to stimulate her salivary glands before work.

‘This much is easy.’

It was over when he pointed out Ju Da-hyun as his sparring partner and naturally poisoned him.

When the sweat from her sparring seeps into the target’s body, that’s it.

Sweet Toxin leisurely entered the center.

“excuse me.”

“Yes, have you made a reservation?”

Irua treated her in a businesslike manner. Sweet Toxin clattered and chewed gum.

“Nope. I heard it can be designated on the spot.”

“Yes, it is possible.”

“Um… Oh, he’s cute. I will do it with this child.”

Irua did not know her true identity. Therefore, when Joo Da-hyun was pointed out, he happily informed the fact.

“Dahyun-san, sparring.”

“really?! I’ll prepare it right away!”

Joo Da-hyun smiled broadly at the fact that it was sparring for the first time in a while. Sweet Toxin also smiled at her.

‘You don’t even know your own destiny, and you’re stupid.’

Sweet Toxin entered the training ground first. After waiting like that for a while, someone came in with a chuckle.

“···uh?”

However, the opponent was not Joo Da-hyun.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not in 100% condition because I just trained with Dahyun Ju. I will be your partner instead.”

The man who spoke calmly was Kang Tae-min. Sweet Toxin slightly frowned.

‘…It’s a bit strange to suddenly ask for a change here.’

It was a bit different from the plan, but she wasn’t taken aback. How to be able to improvise as a pro.

‘I just need to inject poison into this man and make him contagious.’

The number of victims would increase, but that was nothing to worry about. In any case, it was just a matter of removing the target.

“Okay, then let me ask you something.”

She said and grabbed the training weapon. Behind that sweet toxin, Kang Tae-min was sending a cold gaze.

[Karma Log]

[Name – Ashley Kim]

[Alignment – Evil (-881)]

[Evil Karma Activities (in descending order)]

[＞ Random Killings for Greed (-250)]

It was because he had guessed her identity through the karma log.

‘Is it Jang Seung-ho?’

In addition, he even estimated the identity of the client. It was because he was aiming for Ju Da-hyeon even before returning.

‘Still blinded by greed.’

Joo Da-hyun changed, but Jang Seung-ho did not. It must be so.

Ju Tae-ji knows that the child couple died in an accident, but it was not an accident.

‘Are you planning on removing all the heirs after all?’

The reason Ju Da-hyun’s parents died was because of Jang Seung-ho’s dirty tricks.

Perhaps it was because the situation had changed, Kang Tae-min took action faster than he thought.

But it didn’t matter.

“… is the bat a weapon?”

Before the return or now.

“Yes.”

There was no way Jang Seung-ho would become the successor of the Spiral Guild.
