Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 54



Only Noblemtl

(054)

wednesday.

54 students from Class 1 gathered for the psychokinesis class.

Knock knock.

The door opened, and the white gentleman Banhaedo walked in leisurely with a mischievous smile on his face.

“Hello, everyone.”

With his empty right suit sleeve fluttering, he used his telekinesis as usual to take a hair tie out of his pocket and tie up his short white hair.

“Oh. Unfortunately, you don’t look at all well.”

He stood in front of the podium, made eye contact with each student, and smiled brightly.

The boys wished they could have that wonderful smile someday, and the girls cheered with excitement.

“Let me guess why you’re not doing well. It’s probably because of the duel evaluation this Friday. You must be so nervous about who your opponent will be. Jeong Se-ga? Joo Da-hyun? Kang Joo-hyuk? Geum Eun-yo? Cheon Sa-hee? Je Seo-cheon? Baek Sang-eon? Yoon Da-na? Ah. Those are such scary names. Yes. Right now, the only thing on your mind is the duel evaluation.”

He was being sarcastic, and the students burst out laughing, not laughing but laughing.

“But don’t worry. I will solve all your problems in class today.”

As if he understood her feelings, Banhaedo moved his right sleeve with his telekinesis and put it in front of his chest, making a gesture as if he was mourning. Then he smiled and began his lesson in a sophisticated manner.

“Now. Students who will use telekinesis as their main ability will learn the universal technique of all martial arts, the ‘Invisible Hand.’”

A gasp of excitement erupted among the psychotronic students.

Yoo Sang-ah of Kang Joo-hyuk’s faction cheered, and Joo Da-hyun looked puzzled, saying, “That’s already?”

The was a technique that literally involved handling a giant hand created through telekinesis.

It could be used in a variety of ways, such as strangling an opponent or protecting oneself as a shield, and was very easy to control as it resembled a body part.

“Also, students who will use telekinesis as an auxiliary ability will learn the ‘Strength Platform,’ a technique that allows them to create steps that are completely different from what they have done so far.”

The telekinesis magicians and other elemental magicians who had some confidence in their telekinesis also exclaimed in admiration.

The power platform was a technique for creating an invisible platform in the air.

By properly placing the foothold, you can perform movements that were originally impossible, such as walking on air or changing direction in the air, instantly incapacitating your opponent.

From the elementalist’s perspective, it was a very welcome technology as it gave them a way to avoid the rigid body magician and ascend to the sky.

Banhaedo said, pointing alternately to the left and right with his left hand.

“Students who will learn the invisible hand, please go to the left. Students who will learn the platform of power, please go to the right.”

Students rose up everywhere and started moving left and right.

Banhaedo opened his sky-blue eyes wide and looked at Jeong Se-ga, who was sitting in the center.

‘Well, the situation is. Where will it go? You must have seen the usefulness of the invisible hand. Just think about it. You can stand still and twist someone’s neck in one second without even snapping a finger!’

Sega wondered which techniques would fit the tactics he usually practiced.

‘I’ve been fighting based on physical ability so far. I have Dahyun as my Comprehensive Hunting Studies assistant, and since I’ve already learned the hot wire, long-range firepower isn’t that important. I was wondering how to utilize telekinesis, and I found out that it can be used to assist movement in this way.’

Soon he got up from his seat with a big smile and walked to the right.

‘Professor Banhaedo. Thank you. How did you know that I was always worried about steps and mobility and how did you come up with this technique? As expected, you are the best.’

Banhaedo felt his blood pressure rise as he looked at that sight.

‘No! Why are you going that way? Didn’t I tell you that I would teach you the invisible hand?’

Jeong Se-ga, who had been told to come, did not come, so Lee Gyeom waved his hand and shouted.

“Professor! I’m here! I’m here to learn about the invisible hand! Hahahaha.”

He looked at the senior assistant with his eyes wide open.

She quickly read my old boss’s request and played a video of a telekinesis using the invisible hand, pretending it was a mistake.

“Oops! I pressed the wrong play button.”

In the video, a telekinesis wizard is seen flying through the sky and manifesting invisible hands.

The upper body of the giant demon that was approaching the city was crushed as if caught in a giant grip.

A small-looking bodyguard from below leaped up onto the giant’s head, stepping on the platform of power.

‘Yeah. That’s it!’

Sega’s eyes lit up with excitement and he clenched his fists as he watched the figure of the bodybuilder running through the air.

“… … .”

When Banhae saw that, he let out a creepy voice towards his assistants.

“I will take the Power Platform class. You take the Invisible Hand class.”

“Yes? We have been preparing for the Power Platform class since yesterday as the professor instructed… … .”

“Why do I have to teach you such tricks… … .”

“Take. It. Is. Ten. O’Clock. Five.”

His face was ghostly, and the assistants nodded their heads like crazy.

“yes yes!”

“I’ll do it somehow!”

While the assistants looked at the senior assistant with tearful faces, Banhaedo turned to the right.

I feel like I want to grab hold of the nape of my neck.

‘The situation is. You are a genius in telekinesis! Why do you try to do something with your whole body when you can do it without moving a single finger?’

* * *

“Ah. Shit. This class is about poisoning.”

“I ate lunch again today.”

“Hahaha. That class is so hard.”

The second class this Wednesday was on poisoning.

Lee Gyeom let out a deep sigh, Iljinrim had an expression as if he had entered nirvana, and Choi Seonmi broke out in a cold sweat.

Poisoning, a class specializing in employment and poison prevention, was not a very popular class in the duel evaluations where firepower was involved.

Moreover, after taking the poison, his stomach would turn and he would not be able to eat, so the students could not welcome him even if they wanted to.

Naturally, my steps towards the classroom became slower.

Sega thought that it would be slow anyway and that they should practice more, so they used the power of a springboard.

Even though I successfully demonstrated my talent during class today and received a gift certificate, I wasn’t as satisfied with myself as usual.

‘I can’t do it like the guy in the video. It’s not like I’m making a platform and jumping onto it, but rather it’s like I’m making a platform for where I’m going.’

As he took a deep breath and concentrated, he saw a blue flow of magical power before his eyes, and magical power gathered according to his will.

‘Let’s focus on each step. Pay attention like when it was popular to spread tack on the hallways of orphanages.’

I created a foothold of power exactly 1cm above the hallway, matching my stride.

‘Okay. This time too… … Ah.’

However, continuing to build a foundation of power was difficult even for a skilled telekinesis, so practicing while keeping pace with friends was simply impossible.

‘It keeps breaking.’

Sega thought for a moment and then looked at Ju Da-hyun.

“Dahyun.”

“Huh, huh?! Why?”

Joo Da-hyun looked at Sega in surprise.

For some reason, the wavering eyes seemed to be expecting something.

“Can you tell me the basis of strength?”

“what?”

Dahyun let out a voice filled with disappointment and annoyance.

For a moment, she noticed that one of Sega’s feet was slightly lifted off the ground and stuck out her tongue.

“Have you been coming like this all this time? Are you crazy? Aren’t you tired?”

“I have to practice.”

“Okay. You have to admit this much. I won’t tell you twice, so listen carefully.”

She raised her chin and spat out haughtily.

“The more you are conscious of the foothold of power, the worse it becomes. How do you control each and every one of them? It’s not like there’s a foothold where I can go. I just keep creating footholds on the soles of my feet. I only activate them when I need them.”

I thought he looked charismatic, but he was also kind of cute.

“thank you.”

Sega didn’t say that, and Kyeom just raised his hand.

“Miss Ju Da-hyun! Please help me with my invisible hand!”

“You corpse-man, you better handle your visible hands!”

Sega practiced his foothold again, recalling Dahyun’s words.

‘Yeah. I just make the foothold on the soles of my feet appear whenever I want. It’ll be harder the closer I step to the ground.’

Appears just before the soles of your feet touch the hallway.

Empty.

Also manifested just before reaching the target.

Empty.

‘Like when you notice the oppression and lift your feet again!’

By the time the poison magic classroom came into view in the distance, Sega had become somewhat accustomed to the foothold of power.

“Sega! I succeeded too!”

Sega wasn’t the only one to succeed today.

Seonmi, standing in the air, smiled brightly and raised her palm.

“Good? Were you talented in telekinesis?”

Sega naturally gave Sunmi a high five.

“I hope so. Hehe.”

Segawa and Sunmi walked towards the poison technique classroom, keeping pace.

Sunmi was walking higher than Sega, so their eye level was just right.

“… … .”

Joo Da-hyun looked at the two with deep eyes, as if she had just cried.

Snap.

The next moment, the platform Seonmi had been using broke, and she fell down the hallway.

“Whoa!”

“are you okay?”

It was still quite an ugly sight, even though Sega caught it and it didn’t roll on the floor.

“I guess I’ve been practicing for so long that I’ve used up all my mental energy.”

“Yeah. Actually, my magic was a bit tricky. Thanks for catching me.”

Iljinrim, who was following behind, saw Joo Dahyun’s hair shaking up and down as an unconscious manifestation of her telekinesis.

She wiped the sweat from her palms, adjusted her sunglasses, and remained silent this time.

“I won’t be making a regular potion today.”

A theater-style lecture room with three classes gathered together: Class 1, Class 5, and Class 10.

Maeng Do-sol began the class by slightly loosening his green tie.

“Right now, your biggest concern is probably your duel evaluation. Naturally, you wouldn’t be interested in poison techniques that don’t directly help in battle.”

“In a one-on-one confrontation, you don’t have the luxury of forgetting potions. If there are many hunters who can handle poison, you should learn the ability to detoxify, but there are so few of those hunters that you don’t even need to be on guard. You can’t make poison and fight your opponent either.”

It was very rare for an Awakened to secrete enough venom to be used in combat.

The so-called precious knights came out in as few as one and as many as four people in each class, but among the hunters who used poison, there was only one person in Class 5 out of 150 students in three classes, and even she majored in physical education.

However, the students who had been slumping straightened up and listened to Maeng Do-sol’s story as soon as they heard about the disadvantages of the poison technique.

“So now you have a way to solve those things?”

“Yeah. I’m sure he did.”

If Professor Shin Seoul were to belittle his own subject, everyone now knew that he had strengths that could compensate for the weaknesses or that he had come up with countermeasures to overcome the weaknesses.

“As I said, it is very difficult to influence others with the substances you create in your body.”

As expected, Maeng Do-sol smiled brightly and turned the screen.

“But it’s not easy to affect your body.”

Exclamations came from all over.

Maeng Do-sol’s teaching assistants came in and handed out small paper boxes to each student in front of their desks.

As the students trembled, recalling the old poison-eating class, Maeng Do-sol continued speaking.

“Today I will teach you the brain cat technique.”

Intracerebral cat surgery.

“We can use magic to manipulate physiological functions and artificially secrete various hormones to improve combat efficiency.”

“How to raise your concentration to its limit and see the fur and scales of the demons that are hiding in the grass far away and aiming for you. How to secrete adrenaline and endorphins like crazy and not feel fear in front of any strong opponent.”

“A way to forget fatigue and pain while fighting 23 battles while fasting for a week. A way to maintain cool-headed reason and make appropriate tactical and strategic decisions even in an urgent situation where the Demonic Army is right in front of you.”

Sega thought as he listened to the contents.

‘… … Brain cat magic? It teaches good things. Shit.’
