Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 106

Sega followed Yeomyeonggyeong and Jeseocheon outside.
“I’m okay.”
“I’m not okay?”
Iljinrim, who was waiting outside, tried not to follow, but when Jeseocheon glared at him fiercely, he gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and followed him.
“It may be a den of beggars compared to the Shin Seoul Gymnasium, but please understand.”
“No, it’s nice enough.”
The training grounds of Yeomyeonggyeong were open on all sides, and the floor was covered with urethane.
Although it didn’t have air conditioning like Shinseoul, it had a ceiling to keep out the rain and several large fans.
Yeomyeong Kyung stretched her limbs out, showing off her muscular, brown body.
“Then let me show you a trick for the ace of Shinseoul.”
“thank you.”
The thugs who had been training themselves in the vicinity gathered one by one to watch.
“It’s the situation. It’s the boy that Sister Je Seo-cheon was talking about.”
“He’s tall. Are there really that many characteristics? I heard he got his sword skills in one day.”
“Fuck. I vote for bubble.”
“So does anyone know what they’re planning to do?”
“I heard from Sister Seocheon that Jeong Se-ga asked Big Brother. Are you qualified to hire me? That’s it.”
“Is that kid being cheeky?”
“Shut up. This guy is 78% S-class. In three years, he’ll be able to kill the likes of us with a single point of his finger.”
‘This isn’t it.’
Sega wondered how he had come to be in an atmosphere where he was testing the Dawn Mirror.
‘You’re testing a warlord who rules a city. If you’re not careful, you’ll die for treason. If this many people rush in, even an A-class Hunter will have a hard time handling them.’
Coincidentally, Yeomyeonggyeong was also thinking similar thoughts.
‘He’s a future S-class. He’s really confident. He knows his worth and how strong he is. Judging from the fact that he’s carrying a submachine gun, he’s not the type to let his guard down. It’s a good thing that Yaksu didn’t approach him first. I’ll have to show him properly.’
thud!
For a moment, the movement of the dawn mirror stole Sega’s attention.
‘uh?’
When I wore the artifact hoodie from the body art class, I could see the movement of the body art magic.
However, even though Yeomyeonggyeong was clearly only wearing sleeveless clothes, Sega could see the same magical movement in her eyes.
A wave of magical power spread from his heart throughout his body, reaching his hands and feet before returning to his heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After repeating this two or three times, the magical power of the body magic that surrounded his entire body shook violently.
Like water droplets splashing onto high-powered speakers, like thousands of writhing snakes, it blazed with life and vitality.
Sega looked at Yeomyeonggyeong with a bewitched look in his eyes.
Yeomyeong Kyung kicked the air and extended her fist.
Boom! Boom!
There was a sound like the wind was torn apart by the blow.
In fact, Sonic Boom happened and blew Sega’s hair off.
‘I can’t see it. Not even in my eyes.’
Even though he didn’t use any brain-stimulating techniques, it was a speed that even the eyes couldn’t keep up with.
Sega felt a mixture of instinctive awe and morbid curiosity rising in him.
“That is… what kind of technology is it?”
Yeomyeongkyung laughed, jingling her necklace.
“It looks like I passed the S-class promising applicant test. The technique of rigid body technique, psychic overflow. Even your Professor Kang Chae-seo probably didn’t teach you this.”
“Could you please tell me?”
Sega bowed his head and asked politely.
“Of course. It’s not something you can learn overnight, but the trick itself is simple, so if you keep practicing, you’ll learn it quickly.”
Yeomyeongkyung smiled curiously and crossed her arms.
“I think I have a rough idea, but this is more of a ‘state’ than a ‘technique’, right? It’s a state where the entire body’s magical power is seething and pulsating. That’s why the power of the body technique increases tremendously.”
“Then how do you make the magic boil?”
“I used my heartbeat as a trigger. I tried to be aware of the magic power in my body and let it boil with my heartbeat. As time went by, this became a routine, and later, just focusing on my heartbeat would make the magic boil. That’s why I said it took a long time. It took me several years to get here.”
Je Seo-cheon nodded.
“Same thing. It took me years. They’re all practicing the same thing.”
Sega nodded and thought.
‘How many years will it take?’
* * *
There were a few days left until D-DAY.
It is said that the Yaksu faction holds large-scale social events to attract other factions, and that they designate the day when their vigilance is the weakest as D-DAY.
‘Until then, don’t push yourself too hard and just relax a little.’
Jeseocheondo and Yeomyeonggyeongdo spent the whole day relaxing and stretching.
Iljinrim practiced bloodletting.
What he was practicing now seemed to be a ‘blood weapon’, with long, bloody fingernails growing out, and sharp spearheads forming at the ends of folding sticks.
Although everyone in the Dawn Sect was amazed by the appearance of the precious blood shaman, Iljinrim did not get too close to them.
“Finally, I did it.”
Her fingers were just wrapped in nails made of blood.
“Congratulations. You’ve been doing that all along and now you’ve succeeded.”
Sega offered its heartfelt congratulations.
“Neither guns nor bullets work in close combat.”
Perhaps his luck had finally run out, but no matter how hard he concentrated on his heartbeat over the past few days, his magic power did not surge.
‘I think it would be really good in a 1-on-1 situation.’
In order to master psychic overflow, it seemed like I had no choice but to follow the right path like Je Seo-cheon and Yeo Myeong-gyeong.
In the meantime, seeing Iljinrim succeed in new technology made me motivated again.
“Then you’re not interested in psychic overflow?”
I also had hopes that if we practiced together, something might change.
“There is a similar technique in bloodletting. It is a sub-technique of ‘Blood to Fatigue’, and it is called Bloodflow Rush. It starts to sag after about 10 minutes, but it is not my taste. It is probably similar. It becomes empty after overflowing.”
Iljinrim shook his head coolly as always.
“!”
Sega found a clue in Jinrim’s words.
“Jinrim. What did you say at the end just now?”
“If you let it overflow, it will become empty?”
“How do you make it overflow?”
“With dominion over blood?”
“Thank you, Jinrim. I’ll buy you a meal later.”
Resonance, and further amplification through resonance.
The key to psychic overflow was to resonate and instantly amplify the magical power of the body.
‘I remember. Even though I’m a strong magician, the professor said that the stronger the magician, the more the magic is attached to the body and it doesn’t fall off easily. It’s easy for lower-level magicians to learn quickly, but the stronger you are, the harder it is to learn. Especially since I have a lot of magic compared to my skill level.’
‘Psychic overflow is when you resonate the magic power of the body technique and let it overflow naturally. When I resonate the magic power that maintains my body technique, it activates naturally.’
In the end, the question was ‘how’.
But Sega was confident in just one thing: Magic Resonance.
‘Bio radar.’
Cheeeeeeeing-!
Blue electric sparks flew around her hair and magical powers roared.
‘If you pour more magic power here, it becomes a resonance wave. Instead of turning it outward, turn it inward and react with the magic of the rigid body technique.’
My heart was pounding and my lips were dry.
I felt so good that I had found a clue to becoming stronger.
‘Let’s do it right away.’
Sega immediately used resonance waves on his body.
thud!
‘uh?’
And then I fell down like a rotten tree with a freezing sensation all over my body.
“What’s the situation? What’s the situation!”
It was very fortunate that there was only Iljinrim next to me.
‘It was too strong. It spread out over a radius of nearly a hundred meters, so it was natural for me to end up like this. Let’s lower the power and try again.’
thud!
Sega practiced Psychic Overflow in the training grounds of the Dawn Mirror from sunrise to sunset, just like he did at school.
‘This time it was too strong.’
‘If it’s too weak, it will sink again quickly.’
‘You have to get used to the feeling that the shaking will be maintained to this extent.’
‘My body. It’s gotten stronger than I thought. If I shoot this much magical power as lightning, I should be able to burn and kill one or two demons. Do I have to put in this much to get a reaction?’
’10 minutes. If you try to hold it there any longer, you’ll feel too weak afterwards. Unless you’re sure it’s safe, you should stop there.’
The kicks that reached into the sky became faster and faster, and the lightly thrown fists soon tore through the wind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next morning.
Sega’s body, dressed in light sportswear, was shaking with a powerful vibration like an aftershock.
“Sega?”
Iljinrim, who came out of morning practice, looked at Sega, pushing up his sunglasses that he didn’t take off even in the middle of the night, doubting his eyes.
“Wow. Shit. I don’t feel like practicing at all. Hey. You really… … What are you doing? Are you going to beat me with lightning at this rate?”
Je Seo-cheon opened his mouth wide and made a foolish expression that didn’t suit the organization’s number two, then rubbed the back of his neck.
“It wasn’t a test to see if I had a secret weapon, but if I knew it well enough to teach it to someone. Okay. Did I pass?”
Yeomyeonggyeong asked with a look of being hit.
“yes?”
‘No. I think you’ve misunderstood something.’
Sega just let out an awkward laugh.
* * *
“Now is the chance! Four organizations under the Yaksu faction visited today, and we are replacing the guards with members of their organizations.”
A member of the Dawn Sect ran into the outdoor training ground and shouted.
“let’s go!”
“We leave in 5 minutes.”
Sparks flew into Je Seo-cheon and Yeo Myeong-gyeong’s eyes, and the members of the Yeo Myeong faction who had been training leisurely ran like crazy to gather their equipment.
“Get in the car!”
“Do you have the extension, submachine gun, magazine, and shield?”
He wore armor plates made of ceramic or high-ranking demon scales inside his vest, had a teeth blade and magazine on his waist, and held a submachine gun and shield in his hands.
Iljinrim was dressed in a suit jacket and carrying a submachine gun and an automatic pistol, Sega was dressed in a school uniform and carried a sword and a submachine gun, and Jeseocheon rolled up his sleeves and wore black knuckles.
“Okay. Shall we go?”
Dozens of nine-seater, bulletproof SUVs lined up along the dirt roads of former North Korean territory.
Jeseocheon, Jeongse-ga, and Iljinrim got into the lead car.
“Hey. Listen carefully. There are four action leaders who are going to hit the water well. A Chinese woman who uses poison. A former North Korean soldier who shoots guns. An old man who uses lightning. And a swordsman who uses two swords.”
“Is that swordsman the knight I should face?”
“Well. After wielding two swords with a sharp edge, I feel like I have no answer in close combat.”
“you also?”
“Our record is 2 wins and 1 loss. If I knock that bastard out with electricity before he gets to me, I win. If that bastard ends up getting to me, I lose.”
Je Seo-cheon’s deep eyes suddenly distorted.
He looked fierce because of his rough-cut short hair and scars, but if you just look at his face, he looks much more affectionate than Joo Da-hyun or Il Jin-rim.
I had a vague idea who had ruined that face.
“Leave it to me. I’ll tear your face into four pieces.”
“Yes. I believe you. Our action leaders will take care of the small guys, so just catch the names.”
Another city appeared ahead of me.
It was surrounded by thick walls like a city of dawn waves, and machine gun batteries were visible here and there.
Seeing dozens of SUVs approaching, the white-faced thugs at the checkpoint blocking the road began shouting into their walkie-talkies, perhaps realizing the situation.
Since we were taken by surprise, there were no barricades or anything prepared.
bang!
An SUV carrying students from Seoul crashed into the city, breaking through a barrier.
Doo doo doo doo doo-!
Iljinrim fired his machine gun outside the window, and the thugs and the panel that was trying to close the iron door rolled on the floor.
The SUVs that followed entered the city without any hindrance.
“… … .”
The city of Yaksu and the city of Yeomyeong were not very different.
Awkward Korean, Korean, and Chinese could be heard, and the stronghold was a ten-story building in the middle of the city, where Awoken thugs treated the non-Awoken like slaves.
But Sega could smell the stench of grass and an unpleasantly sweet smell rising from the city of medicinal water.
‘Those damn bastards.’
It was a dirty smell that brought back memories I wanted to forget.
The red eyes flashed fiercely.
The SUVs of the Dawn Sect stopped in front of the Yaksu Sect’s stronghold.
“It’s an attack!”
“These are the pups of Dawn!”
Hunter thugs poured in, and the battle began.
