Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 58



Only Noblemtl

(058)

A dizzyingly stretched blue line cut through the air.

wickedness!

Kim Kyu-hyun, sensing danger, threw himself on the ground to escape.

There was no flashy style to the way he got up after rolling around, but he had a determination to definitely succeed in his mission.

‘Next time a little lower.’

Sega shook off his foolish thoughts and turned around.

He leaped towards Kyuhyun, who had not yet fully risen, and swung his sword.

Choaaaak!

The blue sword energy fell with a force like crashing waves.

At that moment, Kim Kyu-hyun’s eyes flashed green.

Kyuhyun got up from the floor with one knee bent and swung his sword.

wickedness!

A sharp stab grazed the side of Sega’s head.

A few strands of hair fluttered, and the remaining health gauge flashed red before Sega’s eyes.

[97%]

Although there was little actual damage to Sega, who was the top first-year bodybuilder, the psychological shock was considerable.

‘I didn’t see it.’

Even though I was using the brain cat technique and cool-headedness, it was a speed that was difficult to keep up with.

“Are you surprised?”

Kim Kyu-hyun lowered his body, bending his knees, and asked bitterly.

Percussion!

He ran out like a shot, no, like a bullet, and stabbed Sega in the torso six times in succession.

“I have been receiving professional training since I was 10. You may be physically stronger as an Awakened, but you are no match in swordsmanship.”

“!”

Sega took a big step back, gritted his teeth, and swung his sword down as if he was going to split Kyuhyun’s head open.

Kaang-!

Kyuhyun raised his sword upwards while simultaneously bending the blade away from his body, releasing the power of Sega.

Sega’s sword was deflected with a loud flame.

“When you first asked me to compete, I felt like singing a song.”

“Ugh.”

“You were the king among the first-year students of Shinseoul, so you really thought you were strong?”

He clenched his left fist and struck Sega in the face with a clean, flowing motion.

puck!

The demon bone ring he was wearing on his head glowed softly, imbued with magical power.

The front of the ring had a pyramid-shaped triangular spike.

“Huh!”

Sega staggered back five steps.

The stamina gauge flashed red.

[88%]

“It’s so damn hard. I wouldn’t have been able to eat a single grain of rice with my bare fist.”

Kyuhyun laughed as he raised his sword with green aura burning inside.

“But you know that it means nothing in front of the sword, right?”

The next moment, he rushed forward, slamming the ground.

“Get ready to work as a police chief. The situation is good.”

The third-year martial artist, who saw the momentum, asked Geum Eun-yo a question.

“Is it okay if I watch?”

Geum Eun-yo took a deep breath and nodded her head slightly.

“Of course it’s okay. Watch carefully from now on.”

* * *

Sega was quick to recognize Kyuhyun’s strengths.

‘He’s good at swordsmanship. He’s no match for me, having only been holding a long blade for a month.’

Knowing my subject was essential for surviving in the refugee camp.

At the same time, he also thought about his strengths.

‘I need to utilize my abilities in various ways.’

It was also a necessary skill for survival in the refugee camp.

I remembered the moment when I looked at the students in Class 1 and talked with the teaching assistant.

Since he was the number one target anyway, he had to build up the skills to be able to deal with anyone rather than gathering information about his opponent.

Percussion!

Sega leaped backwards as he watched Kim Kyu-hyun approach, pulling up his magic power to the max.

“thermic rays.”

“What?”

Jiiing-!

It seemed as if a blue fireball was burning on both of Sega’s shoulders, and then each of them shot out as a single ray of blue light.

‘Professor Hwa Ye-shin. I learned a lot.’

Percussion!

Kyuhyun opened his eyes wide and rolled to the side, kicking the floor so hard that his legs broke.

‘Cheongyeon? That was a close call. If you turn that over once, you’ll definitely lose.’

As I adjusted my posture and avoided the flames spreading from the floor, Jeong Se-ga took a deep breath and launched another long-range attack.

“Lightning tactics.”

White electric sparks shot out from his shoulders, amplifying as they ran down his arms.

Crackle, crackle!

By the time it reached the back of my hand, passing through my veiny forearm, it was already shining so brightly that it was blinding.

The signboard of lightning tactics.

As Sega stretched out his five fingers, a tremendous amount of electricity came out.

Flash!

‘Professor Jang Kwon-se. Thank you. Je Seo-cheon. Thank you.’

It was a power that was acknowledged and raised by Je Seo-cheon, the best lightning wizard in the first year.

“What the heck! How many abilities do you have!”

Kim Gyu-hyun blocked Sega’s lightning strike with his sword that was burning green.

White electric sparks flew like crazy.

Crackle, crackle!

Since the sword itself was an overwhelming mass of magical power, he managed to block the main stream somehow, but the induced current and residual energy that surged out while shaking flowed directly into his body.

[92%]

[85%]

[78%]

The red light flashed and the remaining stamina gauge steadily decreased.

“Ugh!”

I naturally knew that Jeong Se-ga deals with multiple characteristics.

However, there was a huge gap between the level that could be demonstrated in class and the level that could be used in real life.

No matter what the situation is, it is impossible for those technologies to be used in actual combat.

I thought so until just five minutes ago.

[68%]

Black smoke rose from Kim Kyu-hyun’s training suit.

“Kwaaak!”

My health gauge went down by over 30% even though I didn’t even get hit with a proper attack.

When the thunderbolts finally stopped, Jeong Se-ga was the first to kick the ground.

Percussion!

‘Okay. In close combat, I’ll, huh?’

Kim Kyu-hyun tried to throw a quick stab again, but his arm wouldn’t go up properly.

‘why?’

“Are you surprised?”

Jeong Se-ga spoke as if he knew his doubts.

“This training suit blocks pain, but it replicates injuries. It’s a bit of a dog-like function, but it’s nice to see it working on you!”

Sega swung his sword down like a wave.

Kim Gyu-hyun raised his sword with all his might and blocked the attack.

puck!

His body was lifted with a shock as if he had been kicked, and he was blown seven steps away.

‘I clearly blocked it? What kind of power is that of a devil!’

Jeong Se-ga rushed in again, and Kim Gyu-hyun gritted his teeth and used the Yeomdong Matan he had learned in Shinseoul.

Woohoo!

Six invisible bullets rose into the air and shot out towards Sega’s torso and head.

However, Sega was able to see the telekinesis.

‘Coming.’

It was slower than a bullet, so it was easy to see and avoid.

He let it flow with light steps and shot the same psychic bullet at Kyuhyun’s astonished face.

“how?!”

“Think about it!”

From the first day when he swung the toothpick, it was a force that pierced through rubber sponges as strong as bulletproof vests.

pop!

A bright blue spiral sword struck Kyuhyun in the face.

Kyuhyun fell backwards and rolled on the floor.

[55%]

The stamina gauge flashed with a red light.

At that point, Sega realized that the moment had come to end this showdown.

‘Let’s finish it.’

The cat’s claws in my brain and the power of coolness perfectly revived the sensations of that time.

‘At the moment of the attack, the sword energy is released outward, but is then withdrawn to create a shockwave, and the target is blown away along with the shockwave.’

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The blue energy from Sega’s sword pulsated like a heartbeat.

‘Professor Kendo. I’ll try.’

“Heavy wave?”

Kim Kyu-hyun staggered to his feet and clenched his teeth.

“Are you going to end it with a sword?”

The green energy in his sword expanded and contracted repeatedly like a heartbeat.

“Don’t look down on me!”

Percussion!

The two hunters kicked the ground at the same time, and their green and blue swords collided with a chilling noise.

-!

The blue and green waves collided, creating a powerful shock wave.

At the point where the two swords met, a dazzling light flashed.

–!

The next moment, the two swords flew into the sky at the same time, and the two boy hunters also took a few steps back.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Ugh.”

Both of them were breathing heavily, and the veins on their right hand, which had been holding the sword, were unusually prominent.

In exchange for drawing out too much magical power in an attempt to not lose the fight, signs of a magical explosion have arrived.

“shit!”

Woohoo!

Kim Gyu-hyun raised his left hand and prepared the Yeomdong Matan, and Jeong Se-ga immediately kicked the ground.

‘You’re a fool without a sword.’

He was not the type of person to risk his life for something.

‘I feel too uneasy to live by just one thing. Right? Professor Kang Chae-seo?’

Taang!

A fist as hard as steel forcefully pushed Kyuhyun’s shoulder.

[55%]

It was a technique that pushed back even a Minotaur that was over 3 meters tall.

Bang! Taang! Taaang!

Kyuhyun was sent flying like a piece of paper, only stopping after hitting his back against the wall.

‘What kind of monster is this? Let’s hold out for a while and buy some time. Once my magical power calms down a bit, I’ll take it to a sword fight and seize the opportunity to win.’

Instead of rushing towards Kyuhyun, Sega stayed in place and caught his breath.

A look that clearly shows a lack of magic power.

Kyuhyun thought his judgment was correct.

‘Okay. Just hold on a little longer.’

At that time, Sega lightly drew a black ink circle around his left thumbnail, and then drew it on his black ink, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger in that order.

‘Blood donation.’

Red blood flowed out, preparing to suck up the magical power of the area.

I clenched my fist as if I was pulling on an imaginary hook.

Kkarddd …

A surge of magical power surged toward his left hand, as if the gears of a bicycle chain were turning.

Woooooooooo-!

A tremendous amount of magical power coursed through his blood.

The veins on Sega’s left hand, the veins on his neck, and the veins on the white of his left eye all glowed blue.

“What is that?”

“It seems similar to the bloodletting technique of magic absorption, but can magic absorption gather magic power that quickly?”

“Do you know what it is, Miss?”

“No. This is my first time seeing it too.”

The second and third year hunters and Geum-eun-yo all let out questioning exclamations.

‘The situation! What the hell are you doing!’

Kim Gyu-hyun’s face was filled with a look of bewilderment rather than confusion.

‘This is enough.’

Sega stopped absorbing magic before the magic overload could come, and smiled confidently, feeling satisfied as if he had just had a satisfying meal.

It was an invincible smile that had become his symbol among the first-year students without him even knowing it.

Woof!

He picked up the sword that had fallen from his telekinesis and drew out the blue sword energy again.

“Was it fun playing around with other people’s lives?”

“The situation is!”

“Now think of a reason to drop out.”

Then he ran towards Kyuhyun and stabbed him in the stomach with his sword.

“This is no joke!”

* * *

3:10.

The second and third year students each returned to their dormitories, and Kim Gyu-hyun also returned to his dormitory and packed his bags.

Segawa Eunyo slowly walked towards the first-year dormitory while looking up at the stars in the deep blue sky.

Amidst the glittering skyscrapers of Shinseoul beyond the distant wall, a cool night breeze blew, blowing my hair, and the dense grass rustled beneath my feet.

Sega laughed, feeling a sense of liberation that penetrated deep into his bones.

I felt like saying something cool.

“I’ve only seen this kind of thing on the internet, but I never thought I’d be doing it. Should I also post a verification message?”

But the only words that came out of his mouth were those expressing the trembling of his first Shinseoul-style deviation.

Geum Eun-yo smiled elegantly as if she understood everything.

“The Portrait Management Department will be quiet for a while now. They know that you noticed their scheme, and they also did you a favor by letting Kim Gyu-hyun live.”

The Jungsega found an uncomfortable truth in her voice.

“There’s another side too?”

“That’s what I’m guessing. The test results showed more than one drug. The two of them had a synergistic effect and drove the Minotaur completely berserk. It melted all the magic stones inside it and used them as power.”

“Now that I hear you, I understand. Yes. That Minotaur was trying to kill me back then. It wasn’t just that he became a little more violent. It was different forces unintentionally interfering with each other.”

Geum Eun-yo tried to apologize again.

She was the only daughter of Geumseong Group, one of the three pillars of Shin Seoul, and was destined to become the owner of Shin Seoul in the future.

And that meant that one third of what was happening in Shinseoul was her responsibility.

“I’m sorry. I should have… … .”

But the situation was one step ahead.

“Well. I guess we can solve them one by one like we did today. If we become famous, we’ll be welcomed, and we’ll have solid support.”

Ambitious and confident blue eyes looked at her affectionately.

‘He practices so hard, but when I see him like this, he’s as relaxed as a future S-class.’

Geum Eun-yo said calmly, feeling a warm gratitude that touched her heart.

“What a great attitude.”

The situation was not denied, but rather a light-hearted joke.

“Yeah. I’m kind of cool. Ah. I should go to bed now. Sand, no. I need to take care of my body if I want to win the duel evaluation tomorrow.”

Geum Eun-yo answered with a sophisticated smile.

“You seem like you could win against anyone?”
