Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 104



Only Noblemtl

(104)

The first day of summer vacation.

Joo Da-hyun lay on her bed in the infirmary and watched the students file out of the school.

Knock knock.

She opened the infirmary window slightly with her telekinesis to breathe in the night breeze, and immediately regretted it.

‘It’s not cool at all.’

The early summer wind was extremely hot and humid.

Just like a few nights ago.

* * *

Joo Da-hyun joined forces with Lee Gyeom to find out the location of the radio tower, and Il Jin-rim subdued the AH Pharmaceutical hunters guarding the place and then turned on the radio tower.

“I’m Joo Da-hyun!”

Joo Da-hyun first informed Shin Seoul of the situation, then sent text messages to the top students in each class, telling them to hold out until the professors arrived.

Hope was born for the students who had been scattered into groups of three or five and engaged in sporadic fighting.

“Come here!”

“Class 9! Class 9!”

“It’s Kang Joo-hyuk. I’ll take care of the rescue!”

The students of Shinseoul began a large-scale defensive battle using several peaks as strongholds.

Militant students like Kang Ju-hyeok, Baek Sang-eon, and Je Seo-cheon led their factions to advance and rescue captured students.

No one died thanks to the professors who moved in the darkness, but all the victories and defeats were the result of the students’ own efforts.

“Run away!”

“Kill him! Don’t let him go!”

“No. The kids are too tired. They need to rest.”

By the time Banhaedo lifted the ship and placed it on the dock, and Cheon Sahee used the Salt Sun, the raiding hunters were already half-annihilated and retreating.

Although they had won, there was still a lot of time left before the bus arrived from school, there were many injured students, and the mountains of the former North Korean territory were a den of countless evil spirits.

So, no student would care if Joo Da-hyun and Choi Seon-mi went to some secluded place.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

It was surprising, but it was Choi Seon-mi who made the offer.

‘You’re calling me out so cheekily?’

The mountain was a dangerous place beyond words, but Joo Da-hyun didn’t pay much attention to that.

Although he said his legs were uncomfortable, he could fly using telekinesis, and although he suffered from a headache, he had an activation potion and painkillers.

Even if it was a new engagement, it wasn’t difficult to fly back when a dangerous situation arose.

Perhaps because of the countless explosions and the magical power waves unleashed by the students, not a single beast-like demon was seen around the mountain.

So what was making Dahyun feel worse was not the devil or the attacker, but the female student walking two steps ahead of her.

I looked her up and down again.

Black bob cut neatly at the ends, unexpectedly long eyelashes, big eyes and clear aegyo sal, rosy lips that seem to be put on but not put on, a school uniform with a slim waist that shows off her figure, a magazine and dagger on her slightly chubby thighs that boys would like.

Dahyun didn’t like anything about her.

Of course, Dahyun didn’t say it out loud or show it on her face.

She was the successor to the magic stone conglomerate Ivory Tower, and Choi Seon-mi was just a commoner.

She wasn’t the type of person to express her feelings to.

Dahyun asked briefly while floating above the ground.

“Where are you going?”

Seonmi answered with a slightly tired smile.

“Let’s go a little further. It’s not something that others will like to hear.”

“Really? Wouldn’t it be better not to tell anyone about that?”

“……haha.”

It was annoying how she passed the second question with a smile, but her gait was still leisurely.

After a while, the two stopped in front of a dark valley.

The trees and bushes were so thick that it was difficult to see even a few steps ahead, but the darkness of the night was not such a scary enemy for the hunters of Shinseoul.

Seonmi swept the surroundings with her bio-radar, and Dahyun faintly spread her telekinesis to prevent any sound from escaping.

There were signs of the devil’s hand, but for the time being there were no major problems.

“That’s really amazing. Even Sega couldn’t do that.”

Choi Seon-mi was amazed.

“Is that why you called me?”

Joo Da-hyun let out a contemptuous voice without changing her expression.

“It’s about Sega. If you don’t follow me, you’ll regret it. After all that nonsense, is that what you’re trying to say? You finally seduced Se-ga? Out of all the girls who were after him? Did you call me to brag about it?”

“That’s not it.”

Seonmi bit her lower lip and chose her words calmly.

“I wanted to tell you in advance.”

“what?”

“I’ll be moving with Sega from now on. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll be joining Group 8. It’s not uncommon for several groups to move together, right? Our group leader, Lee Han-bit, is also close with your group’s Iljin-rim… … .”

Dahyun remained coldly silent.

Sunmi took it as a warning to say more, and spoke with determination.

“I wanted to be a hunter. A great hunter like the first generation professors. But as you know, I was a low-level bodyguard with no talent, and I was just a hindrance to our group.”

“I know right.”

“Not anymore.”

A warm night breeze blew.

Amid the scent of acacia mixed with the scent of cinnamon, the two short swords hung on each waist stood out.

Although it was a mass-produced model, it showed signs of being carefully maintained, from the leather strap wrapped around the handle to the scabbard with a key ring.

As if it were a gift from someone you like.

“I know I still have a lot of skills. I don’t know when I’ll die or get expelled. But still… … I think I’ve escaped the sunflower life now.”

Choi Seon-mi, ranked 88th in the midterm exam.

Choi Seon-mi also swung her two short swords and killed countless demons in this mission evaluation.

The best person who can train with Sega as a fellow knight.

Dahyun couldn’t say anything.

My head started to hurt as if it was stabbing even though it hadn’t been long since I took the medicine again.

“I want to stay with Sega until the end. If I stay with Sega, I think I can become the hero I dreamed of.”

Swallowing back the feeling of nausea, Dahyun opened her mouth with difficulty.

“Our group is at the top of the school. We beat Kang Joo-hyuk twice.”

“I won’t bother you. I’ll work harder. I’m a knight now. There are only four of us in my class.”

“There are many things that kids who live in ordinary homes like you don’t know. Me, Sega, Jinrim, and Gyeom. Do you think that working hard will be enough?”

“That’s why I was going to tell Sega today.”

“what?”

“I thought this school was a place to raise heroes, but my hero said this was a place to raise hunters. And then Sega came to me and became my new hero. I was going to tell him that I wanted to become a hero with you.”

“Ha! Our group name is ‘Chulse’. He decided it. I don’t know what side of Sega you saw.”

“Dahyun, I know what you think of Sega. That’s why I’m telling you in advance. Because you’re also the leader of Group 8.”

Her bloodless lips trembled.

“How dare you. What do you know? Don’t talk as if you understand me. Don’t talk as if you know Sega. You just.”

“Sega likes me.”

“You are crazy.”

“Dahyun. You know that too. Sega is… … .”

“Shut up. Don’t talk nonsense. I’m Shinsoul. How dare you!”

Unlike the mouth that was spewing out curses, the bloodshot eyes shed bloody tears.

Dahyun was so humiliated by the fact that she cried in front of Sunmi.

“I’m sorry, Dahyun. I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant to say.”

“Shut up!”

My head ached from the fact that I had fallen into the position of a weak victim who had to apologize.

“I just wanted to eat together, study for exams, and things like that. If there are two reporters, everything will be stable… … .”

Dahyun gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.

Choi Seon-mi’s voice grew distant from my ears, and the warm night breeze and the scent of cinnamon disappeared.

I just wanted to vent my anger.

Like a few years ago.

Just as when she tore the sky and turned the earth upside down with her will, and made all who opened their eyes blasphemously before her kneel.

But she knew too.

Now, even though I didn’t want to admit it, I had to admit it.

She was a piece, not a player.

‘Cat’s cue in the brain, cool.’

I instantly sorted out my boiling emotions.

From within, as calm as stagnant water, he asked himself with a cool attitude.

‘Take a breath. You’re not feeling too well right now, Joo Da-hyun. Why are you so angry?’

‘You’re still a powerful superhuman. Think about what you really want. You’ll get it, right?’

‘Why are you so angry at Choi Seon-mi’s words?’

The muddy water settles.

Your vision opens up and you see yourself.

‘I’m worried that Sega might really like Sunmi.’

‘I hate myself for being so anxious and helpless that I can’t do anything about it.’

‘I wish the two of you would just break up forever. I don’t want to lose Sega to a kid I pitied.’

In a span of less than three seconds, I asked myself countless questions and answered them repeatedly.

“… … Dahyun? Dahyun!”

“under.”

The psychotronic wizard of Shinseoul took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

Now the stinging tears have stopped, the ragged breathing has returned, and the splitting headache has subsided.

Even his expression, which had always seemed unstable, has become noticeably calmer recently.

Joo Da-hyun slowly raised her head.

“Yeah. I hate you.”

“what?”

She looked straight into Seonmi’s eyes.

A power like night fog rose in the eyes that were as dangerous as broken ice.

“I hate the fact that you train with Sega, that he worries about you, that you two meet every night and do that, that you smell on Sega. I hate it so much that I can’t stand it.”

“Wait a minute, that’s it.”

“I know. What right would I have to interfere between you two? You’ve both passed your birthdays, and you’re both adults according to labor and military service laws. It’s only natural for hunters who don’t know when they’ll die to enjoy life by switching partners.”

Choi Seon-mi took a step back without realizing it as she heard the fast-paced speech.

At that moment, she suddenly saw Dahyun’s eye level lower and glared at her.

“Dahyun, you are now… … .”

The female student who had been floating in the sky was now standing on the dirt floor.

Then, somehow naturally, he took a step forward.

I heard that you came here to make a cure for a person whose legs wouldn’t move.

“… … I was so anxious and irritated that I almost went crazy. That’s why I was truly happy when you became a knight. Now you’ll go your own way, and I thought Sega would no longer have to worry about you out of pity.”

At the second step, I stumbled slightly.

But Dahyun soon regained her balance and took another step, her partially dyed crimson hair rising into the sky.

“But, you’re going to create a faction centered around Sega? You’re going to stick close to it?”

“Dahyun, just a moment. Let me talk.”

Third step.

Dahyun didn’t say anything, just pictured a scene in her head.

The darkness of the night distorted like a mist, and in response, something moved roughly among the bushes.

The psychotronic wizard of Shinseoul spoke with a blank expression.

“That won’t do. I won’t be able to endure it. I’ll just dry up and die.”

“Wait, Dahyun. Dahyun! Now.”

Choi Seon-mi urgently lowered her hands to her waist.

“I won’t apologize. It wasn’t a mistake.”

At the same time that the two short swords glowed, several flame bullets were fired.

puck.

* * *

The two men, who had a large difference in status, ran away from hunters belonging to the Shinseoul Comprehensive Hunting Foundation.

“You have to move quickly. The European side has already been hit.”

“I know. I know. Wait. Just check that and then go.”

“Students from Shinseoul? Why are you here?”

“hmm.”

During that time, a short-haired female student was found collapsed on the beach.

There was severe bleeding in the neck and shoulder area, but he was still alive.

Next to her lay a dead beast-like demon with its neck pierced by a short sword.

A man of higher status examined the condition of the short-haired female student.

“Except for the place where the demon bit you, the only wound is on your thigh. Judging from the shape, it was pierced with a single psychic bullet. I don’t know what happened, but they tried to subdue you.”

“Were they European kids?”

“Those kids don’t even dream of such delicate techniques. This happened between students from the same school, Seoul.”

“I heard what you said, but they are truly vile and heartless.”

The man nodded his head as if it were a habit, then shook it lightly.

“No. No. If a telekinesis with this much control had wanted to kill, they would have aimed for the eyes. If they had wanted to inflict pain, they would have aimed for a place with dense nerves, or they would have stabbed the person. This was really meant to stop them.”

“then?”

“Based on my experience… … there was a fight between students from Shinseoul. It may have been because of a heated disagreement over resolving the situation, or it may have been because of a grudge from the past. Well, that’s not the important issue. Anyway, the telekinesis easily subdued the knight. The problem is that the demon attacked at that moment. The demon bit the knight and ran away. The knight killed the demon with his neck bitten, but he collapsed due to excessive blood loss. The telekinesis… … must be in agony right now.”

“How did you know he was a knight?”

The lower-ranking person expressed doubts.

The higher-ranking person looked at the sword stuck in the hand.

“A strong body magician with such weak physical strength that he could sustain serious wounds from this demon’s fangs was able to kill the demon in one go with a thin short sword. This would have been impossible without the sword energy.”

“The telekinesis is in distress… … .”

“Look at the tail of the demon beast. There is a mark unique to the formless sword. It must have been trying to catch the demon beast after seeing it bite her.”

Just then, a flash of light was seen in the forest not far away, and someone’s voice was heard.

“–! —!”

Judging by the speed at which the light moved up and down, it seemed as if the telekinesis was repeatedly rising and falling, searching for someone or something.

The lower status side looked at the higher status side.

“Shall I take you?”

The higher one answered.

“Why not? It’s like taking something away from Shinseoul.”

Sigh.

The lower-ranking man took out a green-glowing syringe of medicine from his bosom and stuck it into the female student’s neck.

“… … When we wake up, we will be one family.”

Muttered soft but eerie words.
