Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Chapter 66

Episode 66

When Kang Tae-min appeared, Bae Seung-joo as well as Pyo Ji-hun and Joo Tae-ji stood up to greet him.

“Welcome to.”

“Welcome.”

“Heh heh, it’s been a while. Mr. Kang.”

Only Johanna got up slowly. She smoked a pipe and bowed slightly in greeting.

“Looks like I’m a little late.”

“No, you came on time. Ah, this is Madame Johanna.”

Bae Seung-joo gestured politely to introduce the two, who had never met each other.

“Johanna, this is Johanna Roswell. I understand the half words. It’s because I don’t have honorific words in my mouth.”

“Yes, I have seen it on the news a few times. My name is Kang Tae-min.”

Taemin Kang replied and bowed his head like Johanna did. Then, raising his head again, he subtly demonstrated his ability.

However, the result was different from what was expected.

Deleted content as if edited. It was a different phenomenon from mutants that changed with the magic of lunatic money or monsters contaminated with ‘seed’.

‘… What is this again?’

His pupils shook for an instant at the unexpected appearance. However, he immediately managed the expression.

The letters are not broken or warped. There shouldn’t be a problem with the object, Johanna.

‘Maybe something like protection magic.’

Isn’t it Johanna who is said to be the pinnacle of magic? I didn’t even know I was preparing for this kind of ability.

Taemin Kang made that decision and took his seat. He felt Johanna’s gaze scan him.

“Since everyone is here, I will explain. First, an investigation into Havensmith.”

When Bae Seung-joo spoke, the atmosphere became quite serious.

“As soon as the situation was settled, we investigated the device first. As a result, it was as Teacher Kang Tae-min said.”

“You mean you made a gate?”

At Ju Tae-ji’s question, Bae Seung-ju shook his head with a stiff face.

“you’re right. It emitted a magic wave similar to the dungeon core. I immediately reported it to the president of the association, and immediately investigated Havensmith.”

“But there were no other issues… .”

Pyo Ji-hoon stroked his beard and furrowed his eyes.

“Yes, unfortunately the results of the investigation were not very satisfactory. We raided the production plant as well as the retailer, but there were no cases similar to the devices found on the island.”

“Maybe he used Havensmith.”

Johanna also helped with a word.

“We keep that possibility in mind. For this reason, the association investigated everyone on the island under the pretext of mental care.”

The association’s follow-up response had a humanitarian aspect, but it also had a purpose of investigation.

However, it did not mean that mental care was neglected.

“But none of them showed signs of being magical or brainwashed.”

“This is so… .”

“Did you say the clue was lost?”

“No, not like that.”

Johanna waved her hand.

“There is a high possibility that magic is consumable rather than lasting. There is no reason to maintain magic since the manifestation of magic was done through a device anyway.”

Kang Tae-min thought of Darren while listening to the story in silence. A scout who was used as a conversation channel with a being, probably one of the lunatic dawn’s apostles, and passed out with a nosebleed.

“Yes, even so, it is true that we have hit our limits. That’s why we invited Teacher Kang Tae-min.”

Bae Seung-joo said that and operated the remote control. The conference room screen turned on and a prepared screen appeared.

“Huh… .”

“Is that him?”

“Lycanthrope? No, is it a mutant?”

It was Vernon’s corpse that Taemin Kang had torn to pieces.

All three reacted differently. While everyone showed displeasure, only Johanna showed curiosity and lit a pipe.

“They say it’s not just a monster, it’s an intelligence. For details, I will listen directly to Teacher Kang Tae-min’s explanation.”

Bae Seung-joo handed over the right to speak to Kang Tae-min. The eyes of the other three turned to him.

‘It is right to respond to Lunatic money in cooperation with the association.’

If it were the awakened criminals and villains, he would have dealt with it alone rather than informing the association.

However, Lunatic Don was more like a monster than a group of villains. Laws and rules do not apply to them, so there is no need for procedures such as ‘trial’.

It was clear that Kang Tae-min, as well as anyone else in the association, would have no objection even if he was designated as a ‘target to eradicate’.

‘If the guild leaders here join us, the response will be easier.’

That was the reason he responded to Bae Seung-ju’s invitation.

“They said it was Lunatic money.”

Kang Tae-min calmly conveyed the information he knew. What Vernon didn’t say, he made up as if he had heard it.

“An apostle? Genga, a religious group?”

“There are four more monsters like that… .”

Ju Tae-ji and Pyo Ji-hoon’s expressions became serious.

“Maybe that monster named Vernon leaked the wrong information.”

“Is it a distraction?”

“Yes, I think it is too early to determine the number of apostles.”

Bae Seung-joo said that, but Kang Tae-min, who dealt directly with Vernon, had a different idea.

‘I was sure he’d beat me. He probably wouldn’t have used a distraction for the dying guy.’

There were five apostles, and it was more correct to think that there were four left.

Taemin Kang didn’t point that out. He said he would pay more attention, but there was no reason to stop him.

“It’s a bigger problem than disguising himself in human form.”

“Yes, definitely.”

“It means that there are monsters among the people. this is won… .”

Everyone was so worried. Pyo Ji-hoon’s eyebrows twitched.

“Johanna, why are you so quiet?”

Others averted their eyes at his question. It was definitely a strange thing.

Johanna always enjoyed discovering new knowledge, so as usual, she would be bombarded with questions.

But aren’t they just rolling their eyes with a serious expression?

“Wait, I was just thinking about it.”

“It’s rare. If you look for an answer, it almost came out of your mouth.”

“I wish I could come out right away, but not this time.”

Johanna let out cigarette smoke. The dispersing smoke followed the magic she controlled and disappeared through the vents.

“I think it is such a difficult situation. Since there is no way to tell the monster apart, the only option for now is post-action.”

Bae Seung-joo summarized the discussion with a bitter expression. Until the apostle revealed his identity, there was nothing he could do.

It was a helpless conclusion.

“… I think it’s too early to announce this fact. An Apostle in human form is no different from an Awoken, and will only add to your anxiety.”

Pyo Ji-hoon frowned and added his words.

“And maybe only the Ubermensch would like the situation.”

“Umm, I agree with the sword master.”

Taiji Ju had also heard about the terror threat from the Ubermensch. I wondered if the air would sink so heavy.

“No, it’s not that there’s no way.”

Johanna raised her clasped hands on the round table. She continued, smoking a pipe.

“Isn’t that what you mean by being able to tell them apart?”

“What do you mean, Johanna?”

“Is there any way?”

Johanna glanced sideways at Kang Tae-min, then pushed back her silver hair.

“First of all, those monsters have been mutated, so we call them mutants. I’ll come up with a spell that analyzes and selects the residual mana remaining in the corpse.”

“Miss Yohanna, is there any easy explanation so that you can understand it yourself?”

“That’s why I’m going to make a search device dedicated to mutants. If you engrave the formula you conceived on the device, association staff will be able to use it.”

At those words, the color returned to Bae Seung-joo’s face.

“Is that so?”

“Oh, of course it will take time. I can’t pinpoint how long it will take, though.”

“I’m glad though. Just having a way is enough. Then, I will report to the president of the association right away.”

Bae Seung-joo said that and stood up.

“Let’s talk for a while.”

Bae Seung-joo left and four people remained. A slightly awkward silence passed.

“Keuheum, I didn’t expect to see you this soon. Teacher.”

Pyo Ji-hoon was the first to break the silence.

“It must be vacation time soon. What are your plans… ?”

“Ah, that was the car I was curious about.”

Taeji Joo slipped in. Both of them had great love for their children and granddaughters.

“It may vary depending on the situation, but basically, we plan to provide customized supplementary learning to students.”

“Oh, then… .”

“Yes, including Pyo Su-ho students.”

“Uh-huh, thank you. This is good news for our son.”

Pyo Ji-hoon shook his head with a satisfied face.

“Is our Dahyun doing it too?”

“of course.”

“Ummm, if you need anything, let me know anytime. Anything will help me.”

Joo Taiji then smiled with a satisfied smile. Yohanna ignored the two like-minded people and looked only at Kang Tae-min.

A few days later.

A faculty meeting of Noblesse Academy was held. However, the scenery outside the window of the teachers’ office was not the morning sun, but the sunset.

“With this, the final exams are all over.”

Cha Dong-hyuk floated his luck with a more comfortable face. It was the day when all the final exams were finished and the semester ended.

“Even if this final exam score is included, the top class remains the same.”

Unlike other classes, the special class replaced the final exam by participating in the competition. Although the tournament was canceled midway, the team competition was not added, but the results of winning by placing first and second in the individual competition were acknowledged.

“Teacher Kang Tae-min, congratulations on being the homeroom teacher for the best class in the first semester.”

“Congratulations, Teacher Taemin!”

Along with Cha Dong-hyuk’s words, Seol Ga-eun clapped as if she had been waiting. That pure and bright smile spread around.

“You worked hard!”

“Because you’re really great.”

“It would be strange if it wasn’t Taemin.”

Nothing else, he raised Noblesse Academy, which had been in second place for many years, to first place.

It was an achievement that teachers who were usually competitive had no choice but to admit.

‘I was helpful too… .’

Catherine looked at Kang Tae-min with a shy smile.

Kang Tae-min and her own secret.

If Yu Hwa-rin had not helped her, the competition preparations might have been disrupted.

I was very happy that I had contributed to Kang Tae-min’s success.

Kang Tae-min lightly bowed his head and received congratulations. Katherine looked around and met his eyes.

‘Joe, I think we met a little longer… ?’

Is it an illusion? No, even if it was an illusion, I decided to think that way. Aren’t you happy with just that?

“Okay then everyone, have a good vacation and see you next semester.”

“thank you for your effort!”

“Vacations are the light and salt of the teaching profession. isn’t it?”

Cha Dong-hyuk said goodbye and ended the meeting. The teachers got up happily and had a good conversation.

‘What will Taemin do on vacation?’

‘Communication… Is it all right?’

While Seol Ga-eun and Catherine looked around and glanced at each other, Irua proudly stood by Kang Tae-min.

“thank you for your effort.”

“Yes, Mr. Lua too.”

It was because she planned to stay with Kang Tae-min as a teacher and monitoring mission during the vacation anyway.

“Mr. Kang Tae-min, Mr. Kang!”

It was then.

Cha Dong-hyeok, who had left the teacher’s office, hurriedly came in and looked for him. The teachers who were chatting turned their heads in surprise.

“Why is that?”

“Guests, guests… .”

Before Cha Dong-hyuk could finish his words, the back door opened with a gurgling sound. The next person to enter was a silver-haired woman wearing a tight suit and jacket hanging over her shoulders.

She glanced around the staff room and lightly pulled out a pipe from her mouth.

“M-M-M-Z… ?”

“My name is Johanna… ?”

Teachers who knew that face opened their mouths without realizing it. Despite all the gazes, Johanna approached Kang Tae-min casually.

“Is it the same at work or outside?”

When she spoke to Kang Tae-min, people around her held their breath. Seol Ga-eun and Catherine’s eyes trembled seriously.

‘Outside, outside… ?’

‘They meet separately?!’

At least, after hearing the words from Bae Seung-ju, Lua calmly stepped aside.

‘Bo, do I have to report?’

However, he hadn’t heard that Johanna would come to see him separately, so he had to work hard not to show his surprise.

“what brings you here?”
