Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 52

“…terrorism?”

Irua’s eyes widened. She looked around again to make sure no one was there.

＜Nothing has been confirmed yet. However, the source is different to call it a joke.＞

Bae Seung-joo’s voice was more serious than ever. However, he did not disclose who the terrorist group was.

It was because he knew the bad relationship between Irua and Ubermensch.

＜How about the special class? Were there any signs of being associated with a terrorist group?＞

Bae Seung-ju was suspicious that the student and the teacher were involved. Irua frowned and looked back at the memory.

“…no, I couldn’t afford that.”

However, no matter how much I thought about it, I had no time to associate with terrorist groups.

“After the preliminary round, I worked hard on special training without a day off.”

＜… even a day?＞

“Yes. It rolled really badly. To the point where I think it’s worse than when I was training under the head coach.”

She shook her head.

The intensity of the training was not a joke to the extent that not only my younger brother but also the other students would get sick.

“I’ve checked, at least none of the students have their nerves turned elsewhere.”

＜Um, if you say that. Teacher Kang Tae-min must have been keeping an eye on him, so he got out of the line of suspicion…＞

Bae Seung-joo murmured to himself over the receiver and let out a short sigh.

＜Okay. For now, as there is a terrorist threat, focus on response rather than monitoring missions.＞

“Yes, of course.”

I hung up and the call was disconnected. Irua took a short breath.

When I heard the word terror, my heart jumped wildly.

Screams and roars from all directions. And the darkness that came right away, the thick silence as if the sound had been erased. Even the image of yourself left alone in it.

It was because those unforgettable memories were the words that came to mind.

‘I will protect Noah. I can protect it.’

It’s different now. It’s not as powerless as it was then. No matter what threat comes, she can defend her family.

Eruah calmed down and returned to her usual self.

When I returned to the lobby, I saw students lined up. And Taemin Kang was standing in front of him.

‘Besides, there’s a senior…’

Taemin Kang is a trustworthy teacher. As long as he was there, the students didn’t seem to have any problems.

She was taken aback at the thought.

Seniors? Are you a senior?

‘I was too immersed in my role. Yes, it must be because he was too faithful to his mission.’

She rubbed her cheeks quickly and managed her expression. And quietly seated behind Kang Tae-min.

“The first day is free action. There is an opening ceremony in the evening, so all you have to do is return to your accommodation before then.”

At his words, the faces of the students turned bright.

How much freedom is this?

“Senior, are you not going to the rehearsal?”

When Eruah suddenly interrupted, the students’ faces darkened. If I had a different schedule, I would have less free time.

“It is not necessary. It’s just practicing the entry and exit order, but you don’t have to go there.”

“Ah yes. All right.”

Irua nodded and stepped back.

Certainly, if Kang Tae-min leads the group, there will be no disruption to the movement.

Contrary to that answer, however, there was another reason Kang Tae-min did not go to rehearsal.

‘I don’t need to increase my eyes for nothing.’

Currently, the original Kang Tae-min was tracking the terrorist. If the terrorist does not approach the large projector during transportation, there is only one possibility left.

‘I’m sure he’ll approach me during rehearsal.’

During the rehearsal of the opening ceremony, the projector will also be inspected. That’s when it was clear to check that the trigger was working properly.

* * *

The truck carrying the large projector moved without any problems.

I focused on detecting if anyone was approaching, but nothing caught me.

Apparently, he was aiming for a rehearsal.

How long have you been traveling like that?

The truck slowly stopped and started to stop.

“Havensmith is Section 7.”

“Ah, this is the projector used for the opening ceremony.”

“Ah, yes. Then you can go to the Section 3 parking lot.”

Thanks to my alertness, I could hear the conversation outside the container.

The truck arrived at the venue. As expected, the terrorist seemed to be planning to target the time of rehearsal.

Sensing that no one was around, I went through the iron door and came out.

Another container truck was parked in the spacious parking lot. This made it easy to hide.

“Yes, we have arrived. Yes, number 36 in Section 3.”

I heard the voice of the driver reporting. Soon, Havensmith employees would be coming to transport the projector to the event.

As expected, staff in yellow uniforms arrived. I quickly checked their karma logs.

But most of them were ordinary people. Before returning, as investigated by the association, they were innocent.

If so, it would have been clear that there was a terrorist among the people related to the academy.

“Yes, first, if our staff activates the barrier, attack, and then, if the barrier remains intact, the staff will go inside.”

“Directly? Wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous?”

“Do not worry. We will be responsible for any problems that arise during the demonstration. Of course, it’s just a demonstration to show that that’s not going to happen.”

The place where the projector was located was the event site. It was not just a simple opening ceremony, but also a place where products from various companies were demonstrated.

Merchandise made by companies sponsoring the academy was displayed everywhere.

Officials from each company were explaining product demonstrations to teachers and students.

I glanced at the teachers as I crossed them. This was because the probability that the terrorist was a student was extremely small.

“You must make this statement. ‘It’s not stuff you buy, it’s your life,’ you see?”

“Ah, yes. All right.”

Most of the students participating in the competition are of combat type, except for special cases such as Soyul.

Psychic abilities are difficult to classify into combat types due to their nature.

Unless it is a very special case, it is classified as a non-combat class, and if it is a ‘suggestion’ class ability that requires a trigger, it is not suitable for battle.

Therefore, it was highly likely that this terrorist was a teacher.

“Our product is aimed at women, so the students demonstrating it have to be female as well.”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. It’s because I’ve selected them in advance.”

Of course, just in case, the teachers as well as the students’ karma logs were checked.

After checking around the venue for a while, I was able to find a noticeable karma log.

[Karma Log]

[Name – Jaehyun Yang]

[Alignment – Evil (-3779)]

[Evil Karma Activities (in descending order)]

[＞ Attempted Murder (-50)]

The man talking to the official looked normal on the outside. But he was definitely the terrorist I was looking for.

There are a total of 67 items called ‘attempted murder’ recorded in the karma log.

I could reason enough why.

The hints placed on those who would use them for terrorism were all related to death.

The Karma Log defined it as an obvious murder, not a suicide, and it was clear that it was an attempt because it hadn’t happened yet.

“hahahaha, don’t worry too much. Our students will do well without making any mistakes.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Okay, then let’s start with a demonstration. Just wait a moment and I’ll bring it to you right away.”

“Yes Yes. All right.”

The guy left the seat with the officials with a good-natured smile. However, I confirmed that his gaze was directed towards the opening ceremony stage.

I wanted to kill him right away, but this place had a lot of eyes. I hid between the containers and changed my appearance again.

This time, it was the image of a company official who was talking to him. I approached the hurried man.

“Mr. Yang.”

“Yes? oh yes What are you doing?”

“There is something I forgot to explain. Would you be all right for a second?”

“Ah… are you in a hurry?”

“no. It will only take a moment.”

He had an unwilling expression on his face, but soon nodded. I smiled and headed for the empty truck.

“I’m sorry to have been troublesome. It seems that one of our staff mistakenly left out one product.”

While explaining that, I pretended to open it with a key, then opened the container lock with my ability.

“Well, that could be…”

The guy who entered the container was speechless. That was natural.

Because the inside was empty.

The container then closed with a thud.

“what···! Whoops!”

I immediately pushed him against the container wall. The eyes of the man whose limbs were bound trembled.

The face that didn’t understand the whole thing was really disgusting.

“Do you know Iron Maiden?”

I created a coffin modeled after his body in front of my eyes. It was a coffin with dense thorns like the old torture instrument ‘Iron Maiden’.

The only difference was that there was a dividing line from head to toe.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Ask for a demonstration.”

I pushed the coffin at the bottom of the ankle to him.

He trembled as the thorns dug into his toes, insteps, and ankles.

“From now on, I will ask questions. If you lie, the coffins will be closed one by one.”

Next was the calf.

I waited for the twitching eyes to subside before letting him open his mouth.

“Are there any other Weavermanches?”

“Uh, how…?!”

I sighed and covered his mouth and pushed the calf tube. The cowardly bastard flinched, but it was too late.

The guy who was convulsing his whole body breathed heavily and tears flowed. I opened my mouth again and waited for an answer.

“Mo, Mo, I don’t know…!”

“I do not know?”

It was surprisingly true.

However, this is not a satisfactory answer.

“The stomach, the Übermensch, operates in the form of point tissue. I was just carrying out the instructions I was given…!”

“Are there any other terrorist plans?”

“Mo, I don’t know. There was only one instruction that came to me.”

It was a very desperate tone, worried that I might not believe it.

After that, I asked a few questions, but I didn’t know if it was because I was at the end of the end. It must be treated like a horse that can be used and discarded.

“Then how much do you know about ‘scaler’?

Scaler.

He was the main culprit of the previous Capitol terror attack and the enemy that Eruah pursued.

“Lee, I don’t know anything other than being a leader. I’ve never met him in person…”

“You follow such a person well.”

I wouldn’t have thought to look into it in detail. It is because the ideological criminals blindly believe in their ideology like a religion.

“I would have been a good educator if I had used that suggestive ability for my students.”

I closed his mouth again and pushed the crown of thorns into his thigh.

He glared at me with his eyes wide open with a shocked expression on his face.

Then, at the waist and abdomen, the tubes were closed. Blood began to flow through the cracks in the closed coffin.

The top of it was fatal to life, so it was made to close at once. I closed all the coffins before he passed out.

The sound of a skull breaking was heard along with a crackling sound.

Then, with his ability, he built another container wall and buried the coffin. From the outside, you wouldn’t notice much of a difference.

Cigarettes, I decided to go out and smoke.

* * *

After the sun went down, many people flocked to the dome-shaped venue. Reporters and filming crews equipped with broadcasting equipment packed their seats.

Then, the participants of this competition, including the special class, lined up in an orderly fashion.

Bae Seung-joo grabbed the microphone with a thumping sound.

“Thank you on behalf of the association to all the students and other stakeholders who came to this Youth Hunter Championship.”

Along with Bae Seung-joo’s congratulatory speech, low music was played. The content itself was plain.

Fair confrontation, cooperation for safety, talented people who will be responsible for the future, etc.

The congratulatory speech ended and the performance began in the midst of countless lights and camera flashes.

“Oh oh···!”

“You gave me quite a bit of strength this time too.”

Highlights from past Youth Hunter Championships appeared on a large projector.

The eye-catching and splendid confrontation passed quickly, and the winner was honored with a trophy.

Then the light from the projector went out and the roof of the dome opened. The vast night sky and starlight spread beyond it.

Using it as a canvas, the projector scribbled letters.

[Who’s Next?]

The photos of the contestants are displayed under the phrase made as if embroidered with starlight.

A scene that inspires students’ emotions with the heart-rending low bass sound.

As if the intention was right, the students clenched their fists, shed tears, or strengthened their will with their friends.

“Would it have been raining?”

Bae Seung-ju, who was watching the scene from the VIP seats, turned his head and asked.

“If I were a terrorist, I would have targeted the opening ceremony.”

“Because the boundaries have become so severe! Wouldn’t it be easier to aim for the dawn when everyone is asleep?”

Rosalyn shrugged and replied. It was when Bae Seung-joo shook his head, saying that was also the case.

“···Well?”

He grabbed his phone and frowned. Rosalyn glanced at him.

“…Thank you for stopping terrorism.”

“yes?! No, what are you talking about!?”

A call from a defector from the Ubermensch, but Bae Seung-joo did not know the reason.

“Are you trying to distract me like this?”

“No, then there is no reason to hand over the information in the first place, right? It would be more effective to carry out terrorism without knowing it.”

“Um, that’s right! Then what is it?”

“I am embarrassed too. Even this could be a trap, so I’ll keep my guard up for now.”

“Well, it’s the association that’s having a hard time. I will feel at ease.”

Rosalyn shrugged and looked in the direction of the special class. The performance was over and the students were leaving.

But isn’t the obliju academy’s lead teacher approaching Kang Tae-min?

Rosalyn could easily guess why.

“Umm, Teacher Kang isn’t that sociable…”

It was because it was not only students who interacted at the competition.

* * *

Yiruah quickly scanned the woman who approached Kang Taemin up and down.

Her eyes were slightly drooping, and a dot under her eye was impressively beautiful.

Even though she wore a set of wine-colored sweats, her body was unique enough to reveal her curves.

But more important than that was the flushed face and the smell of alcohol.

‘Is this kind of person a teacher?’

No matter how free you are, how can you participate in the opening ceremony wearing sweats?

In addition, the smell of alcohol wafting through the air was strong enough to make you drunk just by being next to it.

I wondered if there was an antipode to sincerity, it would be this kind of person.

“Nice to meet you! I’m Park Hyun-ah from the Oblige Academy.”

Surprisingly, she was a teacher at the prestigious Oblige Academy.

“nice to meet you. I am Taemin Kang.”

“This is Eruah, who is practicing as a teacher.”

Since I had already said hello, I had to answer. When Kang Tae-min greeted him, Lee Lua followed suit.

Despite meeting him for the first time, she approached Kang Tae-min without hesitation and stared at him.

“Wow, the real thing is much better than the news. How is your skin so good? What cosmetics do you use?”

It was the moment when Eruah flinched and was about to leave.

“I don’t write anything else.”

“Ohhh… you seem to have been born. I’m so envious Oh, this is not it.”

Park Hyeon-a smiled and looked at the two of them alternately with her eyes shining.

“We decided to have a drink later with the teachers. How are you two? Would you like to spend some time together?”

Then, with the gesture of breaking the glass, she let out an eye smile. Irua laughed inwardly.

‘There’s no way a senior would accept a position like this.’

Taemin Kang, whom she knew, would supervise the students during that time.

“That wouldn’t be bad either.”

Because of this, she opened her mouth enough to break her poker face when Kang Tae-min accepted.

Besides, there was even a smile drawn on Kang Tae-min’s lips, so it took a little longer for the expression to settle.

‘what? why? Is this the first person I’ve seen?’

A lot of question marks were drawn in Eruah’s head.

“Are you okay, Lua?”

Fortunately, when Kang Tae-min asked her, she was able to manage her expression.

“Of course it is fine.”

This is all part of the job. She made up her mind and decided to follow.

“Wow, that’s great. The more people there are, the more fun it is. Then, at our accommodation at 10!”

Park Hyun-ah smiled brightly and left. Taemin Kang looked at her back and thought.

‘It’s still the same.’

Why did he respond to the invitation?

It was because Park Hyun-ah was Kang Tae-min’s teacher.
