Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 44

Go Min-soo was sitting with a firm expression on his face.

“Oh, it’s the end of the century…!”

“It’s pitiful no matter who the opponent is.”

“I will pass this match easily.”

Students passing by whispered. Normally, I would cover my mouth to open my eyes, but now it was different.

‘A match… is it?’

It was originally a stiff face, but one reason why it was especially hard was because of tension.

It doesn’t matter if it’s just a fight, but it’s a match where rankings are recorded.

-Did you think the awakening would go unnoticed?

-Please say something to the other contestants!

When I went to the curator with Kang Tae-min, I thought I had shaken everything off. But after the competition, the memory came back to me.

“Why?”

A voice that pierces those thoughts. Go Min-soo raised his head.

Taemin Kang was looking down at him.

“···it’s nothing.”

He shook his head and bowed his head again.

It’s already past. It’s different from back then. It is not a match between ordinary people and awakened people, but between awakened people and awakened people.

Ko Min-soo made up his mind, but the tension did not ease easily.

“Minsu, this is not a match.”

“···Yes?”

He had no choice but to raise his head again. Taemin Kang continued with a serious expression.

“I didn’t teach you how to win.”

Go Min-soo’s brow furrowed.

What would you say to a student about to compete?

“It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose or rank. The weapons you’re dealing with are real. When you encounter an enemy, the only thing you care about is survival.”

“survival···.”

“yes. Forget about sportsmanship. It has no use in practice. What you learn is how to survive.”

Kang Tae-min lightly tapped Ko Min-soo on the shoulder.

“Not as a player, but as a hunter. You will go on stage.”

Go Min-soo heard those words and stood up. Complex thoughts are gone. A faint smile was drawn across his face.

As Kang Tae-min said, it didn’t matter whether the opponent was an ordinary person or an awakened person. It wasn’t even about winning a trophy.

he headed to the stage. The other person checked him out and smiled.

‘I’m lucky.’

The student Ko Min-soo was going to deal with was a flame magician. He cast the spell he had prepared in advance.

With a roar, fierce flames rose like a wall on the stage.

“Ah, my dear…”

“There was no great luck with this.”

The scouts who were watching sighed. While investigating the special class, they had figured out Ko Min-soo’s skills.

Since he was competing for first place with Inoa, the priority of scouting was quite high, and there were a lot of scouts.

“Of course, the wizard is the opponent.”

The scouts who gathered to see Ko Min-soo’s performance shook their heads with sad expressions. Go Min-soo, a martial artist, did not have a good match with a mage.

‘Quickly win…!’

The opponent intended to secure victory before the flame wall’s duration expired. A magic circle created in the air formed a fireball.

Fireballs rushed in, heating the air.

“What…”

“What are you trying to do?!”

The scouts who were watching widened their eyes. It was because Ko Min-soo took a stance toward the flying fireball.

Go Min-soo did not escape. I fired a straight shot at the flying fireball.

Explosive bangs were heard in succession, and the mana barrier trembled.

“Uh, how…?!”

The scouts’ eyes widened. It was because the flash disappeared and I could see Ko Min-soo standing still.

“Isn’t it an enhancement-type ability?”

Magic is made up of mana. To offset such magic, of course, mana had to be used.

If you have strengthened your body with mana, you should be able to ‘endure’ to magic, but isn’t it different in reality?

‘I thought so too.’

Kang Tae-min, who was watching, shook his head. He also thought that Go Min-soo was a Ganghwa type. But when I taught myself, I knew it.

‘It’s not strengthening, it’s Qigong.’

Qigong, a type of ability called Aura in foreign countries. It was not a distinctive ability that most hunters had.

However, Ko’s qigong was a bit unique. This was because most of the mana was concentrated in both hands.

‘So he must have exploded with his bare hands.’

This was the reason why Ko Min-soo broke steel with his bare hands and exploded people like cannonballs.

However, Kang Tae-min did not stop there.

‘As the teacher said.’

Go Min-soo looked at the face of the embarrassed opponent and reflected on the training.

-Mana emanates from the body of an Awakener.

Hunters who put mana on their weapons were widely spread. However, when the mana emitted from the body is transferred to the weapon, there is a part that is lost.

-Your advantage is that the weapon is bare-handed.

However, Go Min-soo does not use tools. Because of this, the accumulated mana is concentrated without being lost.

-Don’t settle for convenience.

Kang Tae-min noticed that Ko Min-soo was using that mana in a familiar form, like a glove. However, mana is variable.

– Think of it as clay and mold it.

Ko Min-soo intensively learned how to manage mana from Kang Tae-min. and the result.

“profit···! I can’t stop this!”

Opponent concentrated mana into one fireball. It is to try to win in one room.

A giant fireball rushed toward Go Min-soo. Still, he did not back down.

‘Type 1 (第一形), Explosive Fist (爆裂拳).’

The first mana form created through training. Ko Min-soo’s fist collided with the fireball.

The contact surface was bent inward as if it were bent. Then, as if exploding from his fist, mana was emitted.

With a loud roar, the fireballs scattered in all directions, and the fiercely burning flame wall also broke his back.

“Whoa…!”

Even though it was quite a distance, the wizard closed his eyes at the wind pressure that came through.

And when he opened his eyes again

“Hup!”

Go Min-soo was in front of him.

‘Type 2(第二形), high-end fist(尖端拳).’

There were two types of mana he created. Ko Min-soo raised the middle knuckle of his middle finger and hit the opponent’s abdomen.

The mana wrapped around his fist rose sharply like an awl, giving a shock to one point.

“Broken.”

The screams were not loud. Instead, the protective equipment was cracked and cracked. Then, the body of the opponent who floated up fell out of the field.

“Oh, my God!”

“I never thought it would work like this…!”

“It’s a level that’s not unreasonable compared to active duty…”

The scouts opened their mouths wide in admiration. Ko Min-soo showed no interest in such a reaction.

I just took a deep breath and turned around.

Taemin Kang gave him a satisfied smile.

‘It’s the flow as expected.’

There were still students left. Kang Tae-min turned around and glanced at the spectator seats where the outsiders had gathered.

‘What happened to the original side?’

Actually he was a clone. The real Kang Tae-min was searching the bleachers in disguise.

Unlike usual, isn’t it a day when outsiders are free to come in and out?

‘I don’t know what No Name will do.’

It was right to be vigilant if you could.

* * *

The reporters who grabbed the camera pressed the shutter in succession.

“Hey, the special class is really amazing.”

“The content of the match itself is refreshing, so the picture comes out.”

I don’t know, media has to be stimulating, so people find it a lot. In that respect, the majesty shown by the special class was enough to capture attention.

However, among the reporters, there was one person whose camera lens orientation was different.

‘Ah, this is good.’

He let out a laugh and pressed the shutter. However, the subjects he caught were not the students in the game, but the students being treated.

It was only taking pictures of female students whose bodies were exposed.

‘Hey, kids these days are really developing…’

It was because he was a voyeur disguised as a reporter. It was an exposed photo of minors, especially awakened people with outstanding appearances. There were many people who paid a high price to buy.

It was a time when he was laughing and looking for a new subject.

“Uh, uh?!”

Doesn’t the camera suddenly jump out of his hand as if someone snatched it?

Coincidentally, the direction was in front of the association staff who were waiting.

“yes?”

“Hey, wait!”

The voyeur urgently tried to grab the camera, but the employee was faster.

“Please be careful… what is this?”

Then, let the expression of the employee holding the camera change suddenly.

‘Fucked…!’

The voyeur immediately turned around and tried to escape. But even that was difficult.

It was because a rather large man was blocking the road in front of him.

“Whoops!”

“I’m arresting you for illegal filming!”

In that brief gap, the staff caught him. Reporters nearby turned their cameras in surprise.

The man who blocked the road looked down at the voyeur as if he was pathetic and left.

‘Are there any other petty criminals?’

He was Kang Tae-min in disguise. I was in the middle of checking people with a karma log and being wary of my surroundings.

No suspicious person has been seen yet.

It was while looking around.

“Oh, don’t come. really.”

Kang Tae-min’s head turned to the temple at the familiar voice. It was Song Dae-beom and a middle-aged woman.

“It’s my son’s competition, so of course I have to come cheer for him.”

“No, it’s not a competition, it’s a contest. anyway Go back before you see the kids.”

It seems that my mother came to cheer me on. But Song Dae-beom said that was embarrassing.

‘I wonder if this bastard has gotten better.’

Taemin Kang frowned. Unlike other problem children, Song Dae-beom’s family was ordinary.

However, Song Dae-beom would not have known how precious that mediocrity was.

‘… I’ll have to fix my mind later.’

I wanted to say something right away, but I was in disguise. Opportunity has to be postponed until later.

“Ugh, then just watch quietly and go. Understand?”

“Aww, okay. Fighting my son!”

“Ah, well…!”

Song Dae-beom sent his mother back in disgust. Then he went back to the team’s waiting room.

Kang Tae-min is also trying to pass by.

“what? Who is Hwarin?”

“Oh, the scout came. I went out to talk for a while.”

“yes? Write, I only got business cards.”

“You didn’t even give me a business card?”

“Will you give it to me?”

I heard the voices of Ju Da-hyun and Song Dae-beom. Taemin Kang immediately looked around with a firm expression.

‘A scout is attached to a student who has just entered?’

It’s been less than two weeks since Yuhwarin returned to the academy. What does the scout know about approaching you?

Fortunately, it was easy to find.

Yoo Hwa-rin and a man were sitting on a bench and talking.

Kang Tae-min immediately checked the scout’s karma log.

[Karma Log]

[Name – Darren Erickson]

[Alignment – Good (+46)]

[Recently recorded karma activity]

[＞ Unauthorized Parking (-1)]

But contrary to expectations, the karma log was mediocre.

‘…was it worrying for nothing?’

Yuhwarin’s expression was okay, and the scout Darren didn’t look threatening.

Maybe I’m just too nervous. Even with my memory before returning, there was no record that there was a problem during the midterm exam at Noblesse Academy.

However, Kang Tae-min could not just leave.

‘···what?’

something was stirred

Taemin Kang immediately took it out. It was a small metal box in his hand, and he knew what its contents were.

‘Yoo Ji-wan’s body sample?’

It was a part of the body that had been taken care of after processing the mutated Yoo Ji-wan.

I have not yet handed over the special training schedule for the midterm exam and Miss Backdoor to focus on the seed investigation.

It was moving as if it had been revived. And that direction was right where that scout, Darren Erickson, was.

Taemin Kang immediately moved his body.

‘It’s not a no-name.’

How did you approach Yuhwarin?

‘It’s Lunatic money…!’

As Kang Tae-min approached, both eyes focused on him.

“Uh, what are you doing?”

Darren asked with a slightly nervous face. Instead of answering, Kang Tae-min turned his gaze to Yoo Hwa-rin.

Because of her disguise, she did not recognize Kang Tae-min.

“Ah, administrative staff. Yuhwarin’s student match is coming soon, so you have to wait.”

Kang Tae-min improvised and showed the metal employee ID used by administrative staff.

It was because he could not be interrogated or arrested here.

“Ah… then, we’ll have to postpone the discussion until later.”

“Yes.”

Yuhwarin meekly bowed and stepped back. Darren, too, was about to leave.

However, Kang Tae-min did not let that happen. He made sure there were no people around.

“Do you know what this is?”

“Yes?”

Opened the iron box in front of Darren. Inside, hideous, distorted flesh wriggled.

I fixed it with iron pins in case it would jump out, but it moved with the force of tearing itself apart.

Seeing this, Darren made a disgusted expression.

“Wow! What is that…”

Darren, who was so surprised, stopped talking. And the muscles in his face started to twitch.

He wriggled, then trembled and twisted his head, then looked back at Kang Tae-min.

The expressionless face, the unfocused pupils were as white as fog.

“It is you.”

The voice that followed wasn’t Darren’s.
