Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 45

Kang Tae-min was very alert. The muscles of the whole body were not relaxed so that they could react immediately.

“It’s okay not to be too vigilant.”

“···what?”

However, Darren didn’t do anything to put that vigilance to shame. It was just a laugh.

Even if it was a distorted smile, anyway.

“I didn’t find you because I wanted to see blood. I just wanted to have a conversation.”

“Conversation?”

Taemin Kang frowned. Darren certainly showed no hostility.

‘…Is this person just a channel?’

Unlike Yoo Ji-wan, Darren wasn’t a person who committed evil. He was an ordinary person who could be found anywhere.

Subduing him would not harm the being behind him. There was no reason to harass an innocent person.

Kang Tae-min decided to listen to the story for now.

“right. The association said Yu Ji-wan was killed by a kobold or something. But how does that make sense?”

Darren shook his shoulders lightly. There was no way the kobold could deal with the mutated Yoo Ji-wan.

“So I called Yoo Hwa-rin to find out what was going on, but I never thought the culprit would come. Thanks to you, I wasted less time.”

He said that he knew that Yoo Hwa-rin was entering the dungeon with Yoo Ji-wan.

Taemin Kang frowned.

“So what is the purpose of finding me?”

“I want to give you a chance.”

“A chance?”

“Yes, I will give you a chance to receive the grace of God.”

Darren’s smile twisted even more. Perhaps because it was a forced smile, the muscles in her face were convulsing.

“First we have to clear up the misunderstanding. Yoo Ji-wan is only at the end. Although he received the grace of God, he was a believer who lacked faith.”

Saying that, Darren pointed to the steel that Taemin Kang had shown.

“However, it is true that I received that blessing even though it was in an unfinished form. I’ll give you high marks for defeating him.”

“It’s a score. If I make an offering, will it be higher?”

At Kang Tae-min’s sarcastic question, the corner of Darren’s mouth went up even more.

“Wealth is nothing more than material. All you really need is your natural ability. Lunatic Don wants excellent followers, and you are the perfect fit.”

Darren’s arrogant attitude caused Kang Tae-min to feel rejected. Of course, the answer was a refusal, but he hid his true intentions.

“What is the grace of God? What would be good for me if I became a believer?”

I had to extract as much information as possible. Kang Tae-min pretended to be interested and asked a question.

“What God will give us is true salvation. But, unfortunately, it seems that time is running out.”

“hour?”

“It is true. This wretched body can no longer withstand magic.”

It was as it was said.

Red blood dripped from Darren’s nose.

“Look forward to it. Let us find you.”

Darren’s body twitched and his fog-like eyes gradually began to return to their original form.

“The madness is within you.”

Finally, Darren rolled his eyes and fell forward. Taemin Kang supported him.

‘Did he pass out?’

There seemed to be no problem except for a nosebleed. His complexion looked pale, as if he had been exhausted, but it would get better with a little rest.

‘How are you going to find me?’

Kang Tae-min was camouflaged so as not to be seen. It would be difficult for Lunatic Don to find him again.

‘There is a high possibility of approaching Hwarin again.’

There is only one point of contact between you and them. Eventually, they will approach Yuhwarin again. The situation hasn’t changed much, but it’s not without a harvest either.

‘Still, I got the information.’

Like the fallen Darren, it was clear that Lunatic Money’s magic had its limits for ordinary people.

‘The mutation is probably due to that ritual.’

It was clear that the grace of God, Yoo Ji-wan’s mutation, they said was related to the ‘human sacrifice ceremony’.

If anyone could mutate, there was no need to use Darren in this way.

‘It’s probably not that big yet.’

The guy tried to recruit himself. The need for talent also meant a lack of talent.

Kang Tae-min entrusted Darren, who passed out, to the medical staff and mixed with the group again.

First of all, I had to be vigilant so that the midterm exam could be completed safely.

* * *

The solo exhibition stage has been steadily reduced. It was because the losers dropped out as the game was decided.

Several arenas began to be combined over the space created thanks to this. A stage several times larger than the solo exhibition was prepared.

“Oh, finally a team battle.”

“I’m looking forward to what kind of stage will come out.”

Scouts and reporters flocked in that direction.

Individual exhibitions are good for getting attention because you can check the capabilities of each hunter. However, what scouts and reporters wanted more was a team match stage.

The reason was simple.

“All the good seats have already been taken.”

“Well, everyone must be thinking the same thing. After all, dungeon raids are done as a team.”

What the scouts and those who came out to represent the guild ultimately wanted was to conquer the dungeon.

It was because individual capabilities were important, but cooperation, a sense of group combat, and judgment were more important factors.

“It would be nice if a more colorful picture came out.”

“It’s because the scale of the solo exhibition is small.”

On the other hand, reporters want more provocative pictures. There was a high probability of capturing a more spectacular scene in a team battle where several hunters were fighting rather than two hunters.

In the midst of so many people’s attention, students started to appear on the stage one after another.

“A total of six teams.”

“As expected, winning is a special class, right?”

“I don’t know. After all, there are many variables in team battles.”

Unlike the individual match, which is a tournament format, the team match was ranked by single match.

In addition, not only students fight each other, but piles of monsters are placed on the stage and regenerated at regular intervals.

“No matter how many points you accumulate, it will turn around right away.”

Ranking is determined by points.

Points were accumulated each time a dummy created on the stage was removed, and points could be taken from that team by defeating another team.

The losing team will leave the stage with points fixed.

The game ends when the time limit runs out or only one team remains.

“Is everyone ready?”

Joo Da-hyun looked back at the other two and asked. Kang Tae-min chose Joo Da-hyun as the leader of the special class.

It was because, unlike Song Dae-beom or Yoo Hwa-rin, he had a lot of experience working with people.

‘I must live up to Master’s faith.’

Joo Da-hyun did not know what he was thinking, and vaguely thought that Kang Tae-min had acknowledged him.

In any case, the desire was full.

“of course. Can’t we just do it according to the plan?”

“yes.”

Song Dae-beom answered with a slightly awkward attitude, and Yu-rin Yu-rin finished with a short nod.

Joo Da-hyun lightly tapped Song Dae-beom on the shoulder with a spear.

“Don’t be nervous. Let’s believe in Master’s words.”

“nervous? not really? Didn’t you?”

As Song Dae-beom bluffed, Yoo-hwa-rin looked up at him blankly.

“You can make mistakes.”

“···ok?”

“We are a team.”

A moment of silence passed.

“Oh, our Hwarin.”

“Ugh…”

Next, Joo Da-hyun embraced Yuhwa-rin with a happy face, and Song Dae-beom was fed up with the unfamiliar words.

Yuhwarin’s face was that she didn’t know why the two of them were like that.

“Anyway, I’ll do as Master tells me.”

Ju Da-hyun recalled Kang Tae-min’s words.

-Team battles are like nuns.

If you wait quietly at the starting point, you will fall behind in points, and if you step out, you may be surprised by other teams.

And as the time limit decreased, the top team with more points was more likely to choose avoidance rather than combat.

The more they chose safety in the beginning, the more they were chased by time in the second half.

“But we don’t have to notice.”

At Judahyun’s words, the other two nodded.

＜One minute left until the start of Team Match.＞

With the announcement from the speaker, the three of them started preparing.

* * *

Class 2 students actively participated. The remains of destroyed monster piles were lined up around them.

“Whoa.”

“I finished cleaning this one too.”

“I’ll do the boundary, so I’m resting.”

At the leader’s words, the other two nodded and took a break.

The access route was limited due to obstacles erected like a maze all over the stage.

“Isn’t this enough to aim for second place even if you can’t win first place?”

“I think so.”

The flow was good.

I didn’t even meet the other team and the dummies went smoothly. The remaining mana was also quite relaxed, so it seemed like he would achieve good results if he continued at this pace.

“It would be nice if I could check the points…”

“Because not knowing will make you more anxious.”

The students did not know how many points they had. It was because the organizers judged that only then would students become anxious and participate.

“It means there is still plenty of time until the time limit.”

“Okay, let’s save it until it’s revealed.”

Each team’s points are revealed 10 minutes before the time limit. The last 10 minutes made it clear that the bottom team was going to chase the top team.

“Shh.”

At that moment, the vigilant leader raised his index finger to his mouth. The other two startled and took up their weapons again.

“What?”

“What, can’t you hear?”

As the leader frowned and said, everyone focused on hearing. A very small tapping sound was heard.

“···what?”

The three of them turned their heads in unison. On the other side of the dark passageway, I saw a light.

Soon the light began to grow rapidly. No, the light wasn’t getting bigger, it was getting closer.

“···government ordinance?”

It was a roaring fire spirit. However, the spirit does not have a lower body. So there was no sound of footsteps.

Eventually, the three of them could see the piles of monsters coming from behind the spirits.

“What, what?!”

“Get ready!”

The three raised mana and prepared a response. The first thing I thought was to eliminate the spirits at the forefront.

But before they could do anything, didn’t the spirit suddenly disappear?

“crazy···!”

“Is it okay?!”

It was easy to see what the goal was. It was a ploy to drain the monsters’ strength without fighting directly.

“Clean up first!”

The leader thought he could deal with this much. It was actually a decent enough number.

‘But what if they stab you in the back…?’

It’s not like I’m trying to give points to other teams, there must be a reason.

The leader pulled his body back while killing the monsters with his teammates.

“Let’s move our seats!”

“okay.”

I decided to leave with a moderate amount of energy. Wait a minute to run away.

An explosion occurred with a loud bang.

“Ha, it’s a trap!”

“Also···!”

The leader frowned, but smiled lightly. It was because it was the monsters who fell into that trap, not them.

“Keep moving!”

“Why?”

“The other team might hear and come.”

The leader was not relieved.

Since they’re the ones who want to use the monsters, can’t they think of using another team?

they kept running

“Whoa…!”

“Damn it, how many traps have you prepared?”

There were several explosions while moving. The three had no choice but to keep moving in case their location was discovered.

“stop!”

“There is someone…!”

But they had to stop eventually. What appeared in front of the three of them.

“You must have had a hard time coming.”

It was Song Dae-beom with a mean-looking smile.

‘Special class…!’

‘How so fast?!’

‘What about the others?’

The 2nd class team hurriedly looked around. Strangely, however, Song Dae-beom was alone.

“Even though our homeroom teacher is terrible, he’s not wrong.”

“what?”

Instead of answering, Song Dae-beom pointed down with his finger. Then, the eyes of the three people went straight to that direction.

“This crazy…”

Where they stopped, the floor began to glow blue. They were the magic circles that Song Dae-beom had set up in advance.

– Instead of detonating an explosion magic circle near the target, you should attract the opponent.

One of the lessons he received from Kang Tae-min. As planned in advance, it was a way to induce and drive the opponent.

“Wow!”

Then, along with a flash of light, an explosion hit the ears and a scream was heard. The students from Class 2, who were thrown in all directions, collapsed.

Of course, it wasn’t enough to cause fatal injuries. The three people’s protective gear was stained red.

It was a sign of inability to fight and dropout.

“Okay, tidying up.”

Song Dae-beom moved right away. The wind was wrapped around his feet.

– The core of the operation is mobility.

One of the coachings Taemin Kang did.

Through Joo Da-hyun’s ability, the team’s mobility was improved.

-And information power.

Song Dae-beom raised his head slightly. A spirit the size of a small lantern floated above the arena. If you didn’t look closely, you couldn’t tell them apart from the lights.

Yuhwarin was in the process of grasping the surrounding situation through the spirit.

-Don’t be swayed by the given situation. You guys are creating the situation.

Unlike the other teams, the special class team was not united, but scattered.

The characteristics of each of the three people were utilized, and the threat was reduced by being dispersed.

“One team is eliminated.”

Song Dae-beom returned after estimating the location with the spirit. Yuhwarin had returned first.

Song Dae-beom immediately reported the situation. Ju Da-hyun smiled brightly and nodded.

“Okay, with this, Phase 1 is complete.”

This operation was an operation that could only be used in the beginning.

“Let’s go to phase two.”

Kang Tae-min’s coaching did not end there.
