Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 99

Pyo Soo-ho was perplexed.

Aren’t you a teacher anyway?

‘Become a demon… ?’

What kind of teacher would recommend that a student become a demon? Moreover, the time between Kang Tae-min and the priest was not long.

The matter was too much to take lightly.

“But… There is no guarantee that control is possible, right? If you do it wrong, you will have to live as a monster for the rest of your life… !”

Once set, there is no turning back. He was at least half human now, but if he became completely demonic, he would look like a monster to anyone.

“If you look like a monster, do you become a monster?”

“Yes? that’s… .”

“You keep making me say the same thing.”

Kang Tae-min let out a short breath and pointed at Pyo-su-ho with the etiquette injector.

“Think of yourself as ‘Pyosuho’. Does the leopard tiger you think change just by sprouting wings and horns?”

“It’s not… .”

Pyo Soo-ho flinched, but soon opened his mouth again.

“Still, this is not just a problem for me. Not only my father, but also the Avalon Guild can be harmed!”

He twisted his face. The reactions that people would have if they found out about this came to mind.

“I thought it was me, not the son of the sword master. I don’t want to harm others… .”

“Harm? Isn’t that what you think?”

At Kang Tae-min’s words, Pyo Soo-ho involuntarily laughed.

“what… Of course it doesn’t hurt, right?”

“Then let’s hear it for ourselves.”

Kang Tae-min lightly moved his fingers to open a sub-space. Pyo Ji-hoon entered through the twisted gap.

Perhaps because of her worries about her son, she felt exhausted in that short amount of time.

“Suho… .”

“Ah, father… !?”

Pyo Soo-ho stepped back in surprise.

He hurriedly tried to hide his horns and fold his wings, but that action only drew more attention.

“Okay.”

“… father.”

“No matter what you look like, you are my son. I just want you to be safe.”

Pyo Ji-hoon also agreed with Kang Tae-min’s method and made up his mind. Even if Pyo Soo-ho turned into a demon, he always wanted to stand by his son’s side.

He gently hugged his son.

“I am really, really sorry. There is nothing wrong with you… .”

Pyo Soo-ho did not answer. He was just silently listening to his father.

“… All right.”

Coming out of Pyo Ji-hoon’s arms, he looked at Kang Tae-min and replied.

“I will follow your method. But instead… .”

“Are you Suho?”

Pyo Soo-ho stopped talking for a moment, looked back at his father, and then looked at Kang Tae-min again.

As if making up his mind, his mouth opened again.

“If I ever become a demon, please take my life yourself, Sensei.”

“Suho, what is that… !”

“I will.”

“Teacher!?”

At the reaction from both sides, Pyo Ji-hoon widened his eyes. However, Kang Tae-min did not pay attention to him.

“That level of determination is necessary.”

Then, when he opened the subspace, Yohanna entered.

“Are you ready?”

“… Are you Johanna? Are you ready?”

“what… Didn’t you explain everything?”

Johanna slightly frowned. Then, with a short sigh, he said.

“I will engrave the seal on your body when the demonization is finished. With that, the demon’s power is imprisoned. Then you can hide the wings and horns too.”

“Yes? But I told you to take control… .”

Pyo Soo-ho blinked and looked at Kang Tae-min and Johanna alternately.

“This is just an ad hoc adaptation.”

“right. When a crisis comes, your body will exert its strength according to your survival instinct, and the seal will be broken. In other words, it’s going back to normal.”

“Ultimately, you have to take control. I needed to confirm my resolve for him.”

Kang Tae-min approached Pyo Soo-ho and looked him in the eye. It was to keep Pyo Soo-ho’s eyes from scattering elsewhere.

“Suho.”

“Yes… .”

“There are many people in the world who are born as humans and live like demons.”

It wasn’t just the villains. Even before the cataclysm, there were many villains.

Pyo Soo-ho’s eyes shook. However, Kang Tae-min calmly continued.

“But if you want to live like a human, you won’t mind being a demon.”

“… all right!”

Pyo Soo-ho’s voice returned as before. Johanna took out a cigarette and bit into it.

“Then let’s begin.”

* * *

In the evening, when the sunset has gone down and the sky has turned indigo blue.

‘Today, Johanna-nim is a bit late.’

Irua sneakily checked the time. Since Yohanna spends most of her time in the research building when she doesn’t have to go outside, she was able to leave Yuhwarin in her care.

But today, even though it was later than usual, Johanna did not come back.

‘It just went well, well… .’

She sighed and fell into contemplation. Today, she was constantly thinking about the future.

‘The reason why I went under the general manager… .’

One of the reasons she trained under Bae Seung-ju was to get revenge on Scaler, the leader of the Ubermensch.

But that revenge was done by someone else’s hand. According to the strange iron man who even gave himself a choice.

‘In the end, my revenge is over.’

The desired revenge is over.

It wasn’t silly or anything like that. I felt more joy than ever at the news of Scaler’s death.

But the problem was after that.

‘After taking revenge, I’ve never thought about it seriously.’

I just vaguely thought of taking care of my younger brother and being faithful to the orders of the headquarters.

There was no such thing as a decision of her own in the future she envisioned. Previously, I thought I just had to obey orders and do my duty as an older sister.

‘Now is… .’

But now it was different.

She also had a relationship where she wanted to be ‘greedy’.

‘Noah is also doing well.’

In addition, the current situation has become an environment where it is okay for her to be ‘greedy’.

Isn’t the younger brother in the middle of building a career that doesn’t need support? Not only winning this youth championship, but also achieving meaningful results in world competitions.

‘Because both Noah and senior will make it that way.’

Didn’t you say that you are being educated by the famous Kwon Seong recently thanks to Kang Tae-min?

In the end, when Noah graduated from the academy, he would enjoy a life without any shortcomings.

-I don’t want to live while stealing my older sister’s life.

It reminded me of the first time Noah revealed his true intentions.

-I just want my sister to live like everyone else.

At the time, I thought it couldn’t be. But maybe it will be fine now.

‘The Association can retire, and you can become a teacher like a senior… .’

It was a teacher’s position with preferential treatment because of the surveillance mission. But since Rosalyn likes her, I wonder if we can keep going as long as we talk well.

‘The senior also said that he continued to be a teacher… .’

As Kang Tae-min said in an interview, it was the best way for her to stay by Kang Tae-min’s side.

‘once… Shall I ask?’

It’s a bit late, but let’s try contacting Rosalyn. It was the moment she took out her smartphone.

“… uh?”

Strangely, the smartphone screen was full of noise. Irua immediately got out of her thoughts.

‘This… !?’

It was a phenomenon similar to the jamming seen on Crown Island. When I remembered the situation at the time, my nerves were on edge.

‘no way… ?’

She hurried toward the entrance. I wondered if there might be fog, but fortunately there was no such sign.

But.

“what… .”

Johanna’s research wing was secluded from other buildings on private property. It was because he did not want Johanna to be disturbed in her studies.

But right now, except for the research building, all the lights in the other buildings were turned off.

Given Veritas’ focus on R&D, this couldn’t have happened.

‘Even the street lights are off.’

Besides, not only the building, but all the lights on the streetlights were also off. The only light sources to illuminate the surroundings were the lighting in the research building and the weak moonlight reflected in the sky.

‘… What is that?’

It was not difficult to secure a view around the research building. But beyond that, it was difficult to clearly determine what the silhouettes wriggling under the moonlight were.

However, there was no need for Eruah to make an effort.

“Oh my gosh… .”

They themselves came into the light and made their appearance. It was covered in blood, but the code number on the body told us that it was the corpses of the monsters that Veritas was researching.

‘Undead? No, is it a parasite?’

A reanimated corpse would be considered undead, but upon closer inspection, it was different.

There was something like a wriggling line between the cut and the wound. Those lines seemed to take the place of the muscle fibers of the corpse.

‘Either way… !’

The target of those monsters was here.

She hurriedly ran to the main panel of the research building. When the panel was operated quickly, a translucent blue film was cast over the area around the research building.

A giant barrier protecting the entire research building was activated. It was thanks to Johanna’s guidance on the functions that could be used in case of emergency.

‘How long can I last with this?’

However, Irua could not be relieved. It may not be all of the monsters that have just appeared, and I didn’t know if there would be another enemy controlling these parasites.

‘… I might be able to escape if I run away alone.’

Using her abilities, escape should have been easy. But I couldn’t leave.

‘If it’s Lunatic money, the target must be a detector.’

There was only one reason for Lunatic Dawn to raid this place. And another reason why she can’t leave.

‘Even Hwarin hasn’t woken up yet.’

Uhwarin was still motionless. Although he was protected by the spirits, he could not leave these monsters in the gap.

‘Once you hold on, the rescue team comes… .’

It was then that a ghastly sound awakened her.

“Damn it… !”

There was a roar as the monsters ripped through the barrier. Contrary to expectations, the time Barrier earned was not long.

Irua hurriedly moved through the shadows and opened fire with her mana pistol at the parasites.

The monsters that were pushed out with a thumping sound could not overcome the barrier being restored and were severed.

‘Too many!’

However, the number of monsters entering the light vastly outnumbered the number she was dealing with.

No matter how wide the scope of her abilities was, she was alone in the end.

‘Yes… Mana… .’

Besides, both the Mana Pistol and the Shadow Surfer consumed her mana. I tried to control it as efficiently as possible, but the mana that was gradually decreasing was starting to strain.

‘What do we do? Should I run away now?’

Even if he endured like this, the result would not be so good. Reasonably, it would have been better for her to leave alone.

I would have made that choice in the past, but it was different now.

‘I can’t run away alone like this.’

I didn’t want to show an embarrassing side to Kang Tae-min or Lee No-ah. Instead, she jumped among the monsters.

“This way! You worms!”

They decided to use it as bait to get the monsters out of the research building as much as possible.

If she used her ability, she could escape even if surrounded by monsters.

That was the most reasonable choice she could make, excluding running away.

‘… what?’

As she ran away, she noticed a change.

I was keeping an eye on the shadow to escape at any time, but wasn’t the shadow suddenly rapidly decreasing?

I couldn’t hide like this. The moment she stopped in surprise.

“yes. Burn everything.”

Huge flames rained down from the sky with a familiar voice. It was not an ordinary red fire, but a flame close to white.

The white flame swept away the monsters in an instant, turning them into black ash.

Irua turned her head in surprise.

“Sam, hello.”

Yuhwarin was slowly floating in the air and descending. Behind her, there was a white fire bird like the white flame I saw earlier.

“Hwarin-ah… ?”

I didn’t know that Irua’s gaping mouth would be shut. But she was able to grasp the situation just by looking at it.

Yuhwarin woke up after finishing the contract with the 2nd tier fire spirit.

‘It’s like that time, but… .’

Yuhwarin thought of Crown Island. When the spirits refused her request in terror.

But now it was different.

“All come out.”

According to her will, the 3rd tier, the knight engulfed in yellow flames, and the 4th tier fireball spirit summoned before the special training appeared.

‘Now I won’t just be protected.’
