Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 51

Although the special class left for the competition, Noblesse Academy was not much different from usual.

The teachers gathered in the staff cafeteria were eating and talking as usual.

“Now it’s a bit like last year.”

“Iknow, right. Around this time, even the special class students who used to go to school stopped coming out.”

Before Kang Tae-min changed, it was a story about when he was just a person who was swayed by students.

There is no way that the special class students, who only caused problems or played, could not train properly.

At the time of admission, you can be better than other classmates, but when it comes to midterm exams, you have no choice but to fall behind other classmates.

The students in the special class, who were hurt by students from other classes who were usually looked down upon, often dropped out or refused to go to school.

“To be the representative of such a special class…”

“Once again, Teacher Kang looks great.”

Completely different from last year, a result that I have no choice but to admit. Seol Ga-eun and Catherine somehow felt better about the teacher’s conversation.

But it wasn’t without concerns.

“But I am left with worries. I wonder if those students will get along with the other academy students…”

“That is, it certainly is.”

The Youth Hunter Championship is not simply a contest of skill. It is important to distinguish superiority and inferiority, but it was also an event to promote friendship among academies and induce harmony among expectations.

“Still, the special class students’ skills are at an all-time high. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a sponsor this time?”

“Oh, that’s something to look forward to.”

Someone said, as if trying to change the atmosphere that was about to stagnate. Since it was a large-scale event, there were also schedules for media and sponsor companies.

“You won’t make a mistake by being in front of the camera, right?”

“Ah, Teacher Kang will be by your side.”

In addition to the competition, the students had many other things to do, such as various interviews and product demonstrations of sponsor companies.

“Well, it’ll be quiet for a week anyway.”

“The weather forecast is also sunny, so I don’t think it will be extended.”

Because of such additional events, the schedule for the tournament was basically a week. Seol Ga-eun and Catherine, who had been listening to the conversation, nibbled at the food with a slightly gloomy expression.

“Come to think of it, I should have arrived by now.”

“Ah, yes. Is that right, Mr. Chen?”

“Yes? Ah, yes, yes… you must have arrived.”

Chun Ho-young answered while hiding a slightly embarrassed expression. The previous competition was led by him, a class 1 teacher.

“Ah, me. Shall we send cheers to the group chat?”

Seol Ga-eun suddenly interrupted and said. The other teachers widened their eyes and shook their heads.

“Ah, yes.”

“It’s a bit cumbersome to send it to Lua-sensei separately.”

Seol Ga-eun smiled bashfully and grabbed her smartphone. For some reason, my cheeks flushed.

[-Teacher Taemin♡, teacher Lua♡ and special class students♡ fighting!]

Under her talk, other teachers’ support quickly attached. Catherine pondered for a moment, then stood up.

“I will wake up first.”

The other teachers laughed and sent Catherine away. It was already familiar to her to leave alone.

After leaving the restaurant, Catherine sat on a bench and fidgeted with her smartphone.

‘Dantok is… not special.’

I wondered if she would cheer too. But I didn’t want to be one of the ‘teachers.’

If I had to cheer, it had to be ‘Catherine’.

“Ah…”

However, sending a personal message was not an easy task. It was because the chat room with Kang Tae-min was as white as a snowy field with no footprints left.

‘still···.’

It would have been unthinkable in the past, but now it is different. Catherine had a suitable ‘excuse’.

[- Have you arrived? Is Hwarin alright?]

A secret between her and Kang Tae-min. A story that only the two of you know.

Catherine contemplated whether or not to press send, then pressed the button with a trembling hand.

“ah···!”

1 is gone. he read

But no reply came back.

“Uhh…”

I’m busy, but did I contact you? Was it wrong for Hwarin to bring up the story? Could it be that he was angry because he sent a personal message over the topic? Like other teachers, I’ll do it in a group chat room.

All kinds of thoughts were jumbled in her head. The moment the swamp of frustration tries to pull her in.

The buzzing sound made her pick up her smartphone.

[-Yes, that’s fine. Thank you for your concern.]

That short sentence pulled her out of the swamp. It felt like the warm sun was shining after a cold night.

[-There was a delay in replying for a while because of student control.]

When the message arrived later, she smiled spontaneously.

‘Ah, I have to reply quickly…!’

Tok tok, tok tok. The sound effects that accompanied the consonants and vowels tickled her ears pleasantly.

[-Yes, I will always support you.]

[-thank you. Please understand even if the answer is late.]

reply back right away.

Catherine’s heart warmed like a sunny noon day.

‘Does this mean that I can continue to contact you even if the answer is late?’

She decided to think so. Then today seemed like a fun day.

* * *

At the center of the artificial island, Crown, stood a control tower. A group of people gathered in the meeting room there.

“Thank you for gathering.”

The person in charge of the control tower, Bae Seung-joo, was the one who got lucky. Originally, it was a job with a lower rank than him, but this time he came himself.

“Especially, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Principal Rosalyn, who has been there personally despite her busy schedule.”

Rosalyn was also there. She glanced at the others and shrugged her shoulders with a fresh look.

“What a busy job! Looking at it like this, do I look like I’m the only one who’s leisurely? If I had known this was going to happen, I would have sent the vice principal.”

It was a light tone, like a joke, but the content contained bones. It was because other than her, although they were high-ranking officials in each academy, they were not the highest officials.

“Well, it’s a sad situation for me as well, but what can I do? Do you all know the situation?”

At Bae Seung-joo’s question, everyone except Rosalyn looked at each other.

“That, you can hear it on the spot…”

“I heard it was confidential, but…”

The people who were overwhelmed by Bae Seung-joo and Rosalyn’s momentum answered vaguely. Bae Seung-joo let out a short sigh as if he knew that.

“okay. So let me explain again. Please look here.”

When Bae Seung-joo manipulated the table, a hologram appeared in the center.

It was a symbol of clasped hands above the center of a capital ‘U’ written in rough handwriting.

“This···!”

“Isn’t it the Ubermensch symbol?”

If you turn that symbol upside down, it becomes an ‘A’, an anarchist symbol. It was a representative symbol used by the anarchist terrorist group, ‘The Ubermensch’, when using the media.

“you’re right. They are plotting terrorism during the convention.”

“Te, terrorism…!”

“Isn’t the Ubermensch disbanded?”

When Bae Seung-joo agreed, everyone except Rosalyn was shocked.

“It is true that the Association’s pursuit has calmed them down. I figured out that they disbanded due to inactivity, but it seems that they got back together for some reason.”

“that···!”

“Then shouldn’t the contest be stopped?!”

Terrorism was predicted, but why did they gather so many people? Rosalyn glanced at them with her chin on her chin.

“Ayu, you guys are quick-tempered too! The Association has no idea whatsoever?!”

Stunned by those words, the people shut their mouths and waited for Bae Seung-joo to speak.

“Hmmm, it seems that some of the Ubermensch members have changed their minds during the hiatus.”

“Simply put, there is a defector.”

“Yes, the information we learned was also from him. If we use this opportunity, we will be sure to arrest Ubermensch.”

Others nodded at the word that there was an internal collaborator. However, the situation was not so smooth.

“But the information is incomplete, whether you are too cautious. We need the cooperation of each academy for this.”

“Well, it is necessary, but the principals have already accepted it. In other words, it’s not a request, it’s a notice!”

Everyone nodded at Rosalyn’s point. But the question that floated on his face was not erased.

What does terrorism have to do with the academy?

“As you know, the members of the Ubermensch are all Awoken. And the policing hunters deployed for safety are identifiable.”

“A surprise quiz here! Then who will be the one who will cause the terror?”

Everyone’s face changed to a puzzled expression. Rosalyn nodded as if that was a sufficient answer.

“Yes! You could be a teacher or a student at the academy! It is most likely a new member, not a member who has been active in Ubermensch.”

“Of course, I do not completely trust this information. Maybe it’s a decoy, and terrorism could happen inland.”

It could have been a sex book. Bae Seung-ju concluded with a firm expression.

“Anyway, with this in mind, please let me know if anyone is acting suspiciously.”

Along with him, the people left one by one with serious expressions.

The atmosphere of the last remaining Rosalyn changed in an instant. When she showed deep contempt, she clicked her tongue briefly.

“Eh, tsk. I must be very nervous for a week… how nice it would be if it was written on my face as a terrorist.”

“Would there be a problem if I could see and know that right away?”

Bae Seung-ju let out a bitter laugh. Who can judge a villain as soon as they see it?

* * *

“Here it is.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lua.”

In the lobby of the dorm, my clone and Irua were talking. Leaving the two to lead the students, I had other work to do.

It was because the Ubermensch was committing terrorism today, before returning. According to reports from Irua, the association knew about it as well.

Of course, the association thought it was the Awakeners who staged terrorism. But the truth was different.

It was a normal person who carried out the terror, and there was a separate tool for the crime.

My steps headed towards the port.

Items entering Crown are difficult to transport by air. Because of this, there was a port to transport goods, and tools of terror also entered there.

Among them, the place I found was a port exclusively used by the company, ‘Havensmith’.

Havensmith was a leading company in magic engineering, a technology called Mana Tech in foreign countries.

“Hey hey hey! Watch out, watch out!”

“Do you know how much all this is!? Get your mind right!”

People in yellow uniforms shouted. It was also because of the noise around them, and it was probably because the goods being transported were expensive.

I disguised myself as the employee and headed to the warehouse. Large containers were piled up.

I didn’t have time to go through them one by one. Fortunately, I knew what the terrorist tools were, and I was able to identify the container by detecting its shape.

After making sure that no one was around, I opened the container and entered after turning the CCTV camera.

“This is it.”

I pulled on the tarp to check what was inside.

It was a large projector for performance, a device that creates a giant hologram that will be used for tonight’s opening ceremony.

I immediately manifested my ability, took it apart and reassembled it. With this, the program once entered should have been reset.

Before returning, at the opening ceremony, this projector worked as it was. A splendid video and firecrackers harmonized to create a spectacle.

And then the thing happened.

It was because people suddenly spread out in all directions and exploded gas here and there to self-destruct or become a mob.

Security hunters were scattered all over the place, and it was not revealed who the terrorist was.

However, judging from that situation, it was clear that his ability was related to the mental world, especially ‘suggestion’.

There must have been a trigger that triggers suggestion in the video from the projector.

“Did you get everything off?!”

“Yes, this is the last one!”

The association made the same reasoning as mine, and then urgently arrested the projector technicians. But they all turned out to be innocent.

If so, the terrorist must have planted the trigger in advance or planted it during transportation.

The former was cleared up by reassembly, so the latter was the only one left, and he was going to approach the projector before the final inspection.

“Is everything out!?”

“Yes! It’s out!”

It was quiet outside. It seemed that the employees had locked the warehouse and left.

Now all you have to do is wait.

It will appear here on its own.
