Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 24
Only Noblemtl
Episode 24
The KPA cadets’ thoughts on Ma Hyeon-woo were ambivalent.
A genius of all time, a battle monster, and at the same time a traitor who ignored contracts and loyalty and went to Hongryeon.
Because of this, the KPA cadets felt both fear and anger towards Hyunwoo.
But then, all of a sudden, the name Ma Hyeon-woo came out of Jong-yeop’s mouth.
KPA’s momentum, which had been boosted by two consecutive wins just a little while ago, quickly waned.
“Ma Hyun-woo… … ?”
“Why did he… … ?!”
“He’s coming?!”
The KPA cadets remembered.
Before Youngsoo took office as a professor.
During the sparring class, Ma Hyun-woo once provoked the other cadets into a 1 vs. 10 sparring match.
The ten cadets got angry and rushed at Hyunwoo.
The results were disastrous.
All ten cadets were completely defeated by Ma Hyeon-woo’s spear.
The gap was enormous.
Because it was at a level where I couldn’t even properly touch it.
Only Junyoung managed to get to the point where he could hit the target.
In fact, the staff that Junyoung swung had grazed Hyunwoo’s chin.
It was an amazing achievement compared to the nine who were left behind without doing anything.
But that was the end of it.
In return for touching Hyunwoo’s chin, Junyoung suffered the most miserable thing.
It took 0.3 seconds for the surprised professor to jump in and stop the sparring.
During that time, Hyunwoo destroyed Junyoung as much as he could.
The gap in talent is enormous.
That is why the cadets were considered the KPA’s last hope.
But after sucking up all of KPA’s support, Ma Hyeon-woo transferred to Hongryeon without looking back.
Of course, there were a lot of contractual violations along the way, but they were all neatly undone by Hongryeon’s legal team.
The ripple effects of this were significant.
At KPA, many faculty members quit or changed jobs, the already low application rate from cadets dropped even further, and the remaining cadets began to waver.
The one who left such an indelible scar on the KPA has finally arrived in Area E.
like this.
wickedness-
“It’s been a while.”
Hyunwoo stood proudly among the KPA cadets.
Among the ten cadets, not a single one noticed Hyunwoo entering the crowd.
“you……!”
“Ma Hyun-woo… … !”
Hyunwoo crossed the crowd with a smile that seemed to be half-assed.
The cadets’ angry gazes poured out onto Hyunwoo.
But no one attacked him, cursed at him, or even spoke to him.
Because I was afraid.
Since they were completely destroyed in a 10-on-1 duel, Hyunwoo’s presence was nothing but trauma to them.
But Youngsoo was different.
“It’s you, Ma Hyeon-woo.”
“Do you know me?”
“I’ve heard a lot from Gapseok.”
“Chief Lee Gap-seok? Oh, are you a friend?”
“He’s a friend and a professor.”
“A friend and a professor… Oh, you were Professor Cheon Yeong-su?”
“Why do you know me again?”
“It’s harder not to know. Why would you crawl to the collapsing KPA… No, you’re a strange person who came to take up a post? Rumors have already spread.”
“You are the one who has a reputation as a traitor.”
“betrayer……?”
Hyunwoo smiled faintly and answered.
“Traitors are people who cannot accept reality and usually use that method to belittle others to fill their self-esteem.”
“That doesn’t sound like something a guy who broke a contract and hit someone in the back of the head should say.”
“Breach of contract? Backstabbing? Betrayal? Well, the more I listen to it… Honestly, the word betrayal is really funny. Was what I did really betrayal? No. Shouldn’t KPA be grateful that someone of that caliber stayed even for a little while?”
Youngsoo’s mouth opened on its own.
How dare you let something so ridiculous flow away like this.
It truly was an admirable beak.
While the conversation was paused, Hyunwoo approached Jongyeop.
“I’m here, professor.”
“Thank you, welcome.”
“But what’s going on?”
“that is…….”
While Hyunwoo listened to the whole story from Jongyeop, Yeongsu quietly observed Hyunwoo’s momentum.
It seemed like he was just standing around, but there were no gaps.
In addition, the mana spread evenly throughout the body was surprisingly well organized.
And the blood on the tip of the spear and the sleeve of the clothes.
‘Judging by the smell of the blood, it is the blood of a medium or large orc.’
However, since there are no large orcs living in the training forest, it is probably a medium-sized species.
‘You’re saying that a cadet who hasn’t even been on a military service was able to catch a medium-sized orc?’
Ma Hyun-woo, this guy was a genius.
Even if you call him a monster, it’s okay.
Yeongsu seemed to know why the KPA guys suddenly froze as soon as this guy appeared.
But if you think about it the other way around… … .
‘If we can just destroy that guy, we can definitely restore our children’s self-esteem.’
Well done, you punk.
Youngsoo turned his head towards the cadets.
This time, no one avoided eye contact.
There are only fearful guys.
Youngsoo didn’t bother to look into each of their eyes.
Because there was already a guy decided on.
“Woo Jun-young, come out.”
“… … !”
The moment his name was called, Junyoung’s eyes narrowed.
It had to be that way.
Because the memory of that day when Ma Hyun-woo beat me to a pulp was still vivid in my mind.
Even… … .
Ukshin-
It started to spread to the point of phantom pain.
The parts of the body that Hyunwoo had hit before began to ache.
Even though it was an area that had already been treated a long time ago.
“Phew… … .”
Junyoung walked towards Yeongsu.
His peers’ worried gazes flew at his back.
Yeongsu said, holding out a thick cloth and string.
“Let’s tie the blade. If we want to spar… … .”
“How do I fight?”
“what?”
“That guy Ma Hyun-woo is a monster. I heard he even beat up a former player in a private duel. How do you deal with someone like that…?”
“Just try it out. Then you will naturally find out.”
“… Did I become as strong as that guy?”
Yeongsu said with a smile.
“Do you have a conscience?”
“No, that… … .”
“That’s a monster. Even if you all attacked at the same time, you wouldn’t be able to guarantee victory.”
“… Then this game is just a throwaway game. We just need to get 3 wins anyway… … .”
“Hey Woo Jun-young, do I look like the kind of person who would start a fight that I would lose?”
“… … !”
Junyoung could tell.
That Youngsoo has a plan.
Junyoung stepped forward, rubbing his throbbing temples.
Ma Hyeon-woo stood in front of him.
Just like Junyoung, holding a spear in his hand.
Hyunwoo said.
“Yeah, you were a window too. How funny.”
Junyoung just spun the window around once without saying a word.
“Why aren’t you answering? It’s embarrassing.”
That moment.
“start!”
The duel has begun.
It was Hyunwoo who made the first move.
wickedness.
A clean attack that sweeps down from the top right.
All the cadets watching the game had the same thought.
‘head.’
The tip of that spear will reach your head.
It was an attack that made me think that way.
But the very next moment, my expectations were off the mark.
“… … ?”
“uh?!”
The tip of the spear that was aimed for the head suddenly stabbed in the temple.
A sudden change in attack style.
Usually in these cases the tip of the spear is accompanied by a rapid deceleration.
But there was no such slowdown in Hyunwoo’s window.
An unrealistically perfect turnaround.
A technique that is simple in theory, but in reality cannot be used due to the slowdown, in which the defense is guided to an unexpected place and then the point of impact is moved to stab.
Not a single cadet was able to capture this moment of change.
To the cadets’ eyes, it felt as if the tip of the spear had teleported.
And if you can’t catch it, you can’t stop it.
Some KPA cadets shut their eyes tightly.
however-
Taang!
There was a refreshing sound of impact.
The sound of a spear and a spearhead striking each other.
An unbelievable sight unfolded before my eyes.
“… Did you stop it?”
“That? How?!”
Junyoung cleanly kicked Hyunwoo’s spear away.
Hyunwoo muttered with a smirk.
“It wasn’t all fun.”
“… … .”
Hyunwoo pulled out the spear and grabbed the spear shaft again.
If Junyoung’s skills were at this level, there was no need to go easy on him.
‘Go.’
Hyunwoo’s spear strike struck again.
This time, he faked to his left shoulder and then stabbed his right calf.
Taaak!
It’s blocked.
This time, fake the abdomen and then the head.
Ttagan!
It’s blocked again.
So this time, without mixing in any fakes, straight, but fast enough to make the trajectory difficult to read, one strike.
But this time too… … .
Hot!!
Hyunwoo’s window is blocked.
Very neatly.
As the situation became like this, Hyunwoo started to feel a little embarrassed.
‘You blocked my spear strike so easily?!’
I couldn’t believe it.
Even among the Hongryeon players, there was no one who could block his own spear so cleanly.
But a mere KPA cadet, even someone who had defeated him so miserably in the past, would follow him like this?
No, that won’t do.
That can’t be.
“Ugh… … !”
Hyunwoo’s spear tip began to move faster and sharper.
A much more fierce attack than before struck Junyoung.
Hyunwoo’s spear began to dance.
Hyunwoo started swinging the spear with his whole body.
He rotated the spear not only with his hands but also with his shoulders, legs, neck, waist, and other parts of his body, and stabbed the spear at unpredictable angles.
A vicious spear armed with a fearsome anomaly.
When the cadets saw that, regardless of whether they were KPA or Hongryeon, their mouths all dropped open.
How on earth is something like that possible?
But something even more shocking was happening at the same time.
Hot and cold!
Junyoung had knocked away all the spears that flew in.
All of them, without leaving a single one behind.
It was a blocking of attacks that were too powerful to be seen with the eyes.
“what?”
“What’s going on… …?”
“You’re saying there aren’t even a single valid hit?”
“What the heck, what’s going on?!”
The crowd began to stir.
The belief that Ma Hyun-woo would definitely win was slowly wavering.
And the same was true for Hyunwoo himself.
‘Fuck… … !’
Hyunwoo couldn’t believe the reality in front of his eyes.
‘How can you read all my trajectories unless you’ve entered my head!’
Was that why?
The elaborate style of his creation gradually began to become rough and dull.
Junyoung also noticed that small gap in downfall.
Hyunwoo swung his spear sharply.
It was fast and sloppy.
At that moment, a voice came into Junyoung’s head.
‘Jeongsuri, with full power.’
“Jeongsuri.”
Snap!!
Junyoung’s downward strike struck Hyunwoo’s temple.
The first valid hit in this breathtaking battle.
At the same time, it was the last valid hit.
“Ugh… … .”
Hyunwoo lost consciousness.
The outcome has been decided.
“Wow!”
“I defeated Hongryeon!”
“I beat that freaking bastard!!”
There was a huge cheer from the KPA side.
On the other hand, on the Hongryeon side… … .
“no…….”
“This, this, why… … .”
Frustration, discouragement, despair.
The absurd downfall of the strongest person who represented them drove them into panic.
And the main character of this game, the winner, Woo Jun-young.
A voice was heard in Junyoung’s head again.
‘See, I told you I wouldn’t fight a losing battle, right?’
It was Youngsoo’s voice.
* * *
2 minutes ago.
Just before Junyoung steps into the ring.
Youngsoo spoke to Junyoung over the phone.
‘Don’t react. Rub your temples when you hear my voice.’
Junyoung suppressed his surprise and quietly rubbed his temples.
‘From now on, I am your navigation.’
‘… … !’
‘I’ll read all of Ma Hyun-woo’s attacks and tell you. You just have to do as I say. If you understand, turn the spear once.’
Junyoung turned the window around in silence.
And then the duel began.
Hyunwoo quickly takes the lead.
Youngsoo’s voice came into my head.
‘Block the Meiji.’
It’s so obvious it’s coming into my head, but you want me to block it?
But there was no time to hesitate.
Junyoung lowered the spear and defended Mingchi.
Sigh!!
It really came to my mind.
Junyoung was shocked.
Hyunwoo’s magic is close to divine, and Yeongsu’s insight is able to read it.
Youngsoo’s navigation continued.
‘Right calf.’
‘abdomen.’
‘Left side.’
Hot!
Yeongsu’s instructions were not off by even an inch.
Perfect instructions and clean execution.
In front of this combination play, Ma Hyun-woo slowly began to crumble.
Junyoung felt refreshed.
The sight of the opponent who had destroyed you slowly collapsing.
But this situation itself was bothering me.
Honestly, isn’t this… cheating?
‘It’s foul play.’
Youngsoo spoke as if he had read Junyoung’s mind.
‘But they were the ones who broke the agreement first. We have to give it back.’
And the moment to give back has finally arrived.
‘Jeongsuri, with full power.’
“Jeongsuri.”
Junyoung swung his spear at Hyunwoo’s head.
