Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 60



Only Noblemtl

(060)

friday.

The school was extremely crowded.

All sorts of luxury cars entered the Shinseoul Hunter Academy’s magic vaporization station and raced down the road between the lawns, and scouts from the 28th guild bowed their heads to the Shinseoul professors.

“Come on, this is no joke.”

“They came from Kangpung and Baekhap. There’s also Cheonghaejin and Heukgol.”

The students were amazed to see the hunters who were living legends themselves.

The duel evaluations took place once a week, but outsiders never gathered in this large number each time.

Today was the debut match for the first-year students, and it was a match that would have caught everyone’s attention in the hunter industry.

Is it ‘Shinseong’ Jeongse who has shown crazy growth since entering school, or ‘Bada’ Yoon Dana who has lived as an awakened person since the moment she was born?

An arena was set up in a gymnasium that was transformed into a Colosseum-like shape, and spectators gathered like clouds.

Second and third year students came to visit during their free time, and professors from other classes childishly pushed the second and third year students aside and took the front seats, and outsiders gathered on one side and engaged in a war of nerves.

It was quite a sight to see the 28th Guild Scouts, dressed in their finest suits, looking at each other with displeased smiles.

“They say they moved the order to the front.”

“That’s why I like Shinseoul. They don’t have to think about the rest. They have a lot of talent besides those two, so I guess that’s why they’re confident.”

“But today, we are all looking forward to those two.”

The professor in charge of class 16 and the professor in charge of class 1, Lee Na, sat on the left and right of the judge’s table.

At the same time, one door on one side of the stadium opened, and silence fell on the audience.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Jeong Se-ga walked confidently down the aisle and entered the stadium.

“It’s a good day.”

He even displayed his showmanship by waving his hands widely toward the audience as if he had left all his nervousness outside the school gate.

“Isn’t he cool?”

“Good luck, junior!”

“It’s different after all.”

The scouts and seniors all cheered and focused on Jeong Se-ga.

He was a tall, handsome boy with a slicked-back hair style and a carefree smile.

He was wearing only his uniform shirt without a jacket, and like a high-ranking bodybuilder who was confident in his body, he deliberately chose clothes that were one size too big and undid three buttons to boldly reveal his chiseled chest muscles, long collarbone, and torn arms.

However, the shirt hem was neatly folded inside the pants and secured with a belt, creating a neat and refined atmosphere.

Security guards wearing gas masks and suits checked Sega’s artifacts and put protective vests on them.

“Artifacts are Dragon Bone & Turtle Cell Blade. Secondary weapons are KH2 submachine gun and knuckle ring. Protective vest is health-linked. All confirmed.”

The black gold and silver were top-of-the-line items given to him by the military, the submachine gun was a formal item, and the knuckle ring on his left middle finger was a spoil taken from Kim Gyu-hyun, who had dropped out.

“thank you.”

Sega climbed up to the stadium and looked at the opposite entrance.

A female student was just passing through the door.

“……swimming.”

Yoon Da-na showed the exact opposite attitude.

He came in quietly, trudging along, staring blankly at the world with his unfocused, clear eyes.

‘That’s Yoon Dana.’

She had long, elegantly flowing, blue hair and aquamarine eyes.

Although her appearance was very bright and beautiful, she had the air of an idiot who knew nothing.

I got into a scuffle with security guards when I tried to enter without checking my artifact, and I didn’t even bring a pistol or a dagger, let alone a sidearm.

Looking at the exposed shirt, the wrinkled skirt, and the tie buried between her cleavage, I wondered if she had just woken up from her dorm bed.

“Isn’t that Yoon Dana? Was she always like that?”

“Are you trying to wage psychological warfare against Sega right now?”

“Really? You’re not the type of person to know that kind of thing?”

There was a slight commotion in the audience at the sight of Sega, who had been thoroughly prepared, being contrasted with this.

But Sega instinctively felt a huge shadow looming over him from her.

‘Strong.’

It was different from Geum Eun-yo and Cheon Sa-hee, who lived at the center of a dense spider web.

A freedom that only those who have lived without worrying about what others think and without being held back by anything can have.

‘I envied that.’

Yoon Da-na had the leisure time she wanted.

Sega smiled bitterly and felt the weight of the submachine gun.

“The time limit is 10 minutes. The first person whose stamina gauge reaches 0 is the loser. If the winner is not decided after 10 minutes, the person whose stamina gauge has decreased more is the loser. If you attack in any way after the end time, you will be disqualified, and only hunting devices that have been approved in advance can be used.”

The referee reviewed the rules and activated the transparent force field artifact that separates the playing field from the audience.

“Then, we will now begin the first duel evaluation of the first-year students of Shinseoul!”

[09:59]

The timer started ticking and the vest’s shields activated.

“Wow!”

“Let’s get started!”

A loud cheer erupted from the audience.

Doo doo doo doo doo-!

The next moment, an eerie gunshot drowned out all other sounds.

“!”

As soon as the situation started, he fired all the submachine guns in his left hand in rapid succession.

A red light flashed around Yoon Dana, indicating an attack.

“What, what? Did you just shoot a gun?”

“The future S-class starts with a gun? Huh? What the hell?”

“Hahahaha! Sega students are truly geniuses!”

A panicked voice erupted among the seniors and scouts, and the new school professor burst into laughter.

Sega used telekinesis to change the magazine while aiming the submachine gun forward.

‘Elementalists are physically weak, and no matter how fast their abilities are, it’s not easy for them to be faster than a bullet. I’ll finish them off right away while you’re panicking.’

* * *

[71%]

A translucent red gauge blinked before Yoon Dana’s eyes.

She looked at the gauge with indifferent eyes and threw the burst water bottle on the floor.

Bam.

She also knew that elementalists were physically weak and vulnerable to surprise attacks.

I had to take a few shots, but I was able to block the remaining dozens using the water from the burst water bottles as a shield.

“… … Sega, the situation.”

Unfocused aquamarine eyes illuminated the leaping boy.

Percussion!

The moment Sega saw the water shield, he pulled his shoulder strap without hesitation and put the submachine gun behind his back.

‘If we could cut it by about 30%, that would be enough.’

He kicked the ground and released a blue-black energy.

My heart was pounding and my body was tense with tension.

‘Even if you lose, you have to lose in style. All the great people in this world are gathered here.’

‘Look at me. Look at how great I am. And think. That guy can definitely become S-class!’

He jumped 6m high and struck down with his sword energy like a crashing wave.

Saaaaak!

It looked like it would be able to cut down even a medium-sized demon in two.

Yoon Da-na blinked while looking at Sega.

Choaaaah.

Moisture in the air gathered, creating a translucent vortex in the air.

A large ball of water rose to the surface, and soon became a single line.

“Ugh!”

A huge column of water shot up and blew Sega away with the same momentum it had been running towards him.

Sega reflexively lowered his sword to block the blow, but the health stat on his protective vest was reduced.

[90%]

‘It’s stronger than Kim Kyu-hyun’s fist yesterday, but it’s not so strong that my body can’t withstand it.’

Okay.

He landed steadily and prepared to charge again.

His blue eyes burned with a passion for victory.

Yoon Da-na muttered as she looked at the sight.

“You. Are strong.”

The next moment, huge blobs of water rose above her shoulders and head.

Chomp chomp chomp!

The small one was the size of a fist, and the large one was the size of a car.

Lee Gyeom, who saw that sight, closed his eyes tightly in the audience.

“It’s done.”

Iljinrim also let out a dejected sigh.

“My dog, my god.”

A mass of water numbering in the dozens.

Each of them was an attack device of the water flow technique that had an effect similar to that of a diffuse blood flow bullet.

A chunk of water flying through the wind burst upon hitting the ground, sending out long water spikes in all directions.

Pavabababak-!

Each of those thorns had the power to tear through steel plates like a sheet of paper.

Wow!

The moment a single thorn hit the outskirts of the stadium, the entire protective shield surrounding the stadium shook.

“Whoa!”

“It’s not going to collapse, is it?”

“That guy is the same age as us?”

The first-year students in the audience screamed.

But Sega was afraid, not overwhelmed.

‘Even if I die, I will die like an S-class.’

A blue magical force was seen shaking within the mass of water.

Just like the blood mist that Haejun Sang had created in his bloodletting class, the blue magic was spread out like a spider web within the water droplets.

‘I can’t absorb it. I’m breaking up!’

“under!”

He swung his sword and cut off a lump of water that was about to explode.

Phew!

The water droplet burst, broke free of Yoon Dana’s control, and flowed down to the floor.

‘Okay. If you cut it on time, it won’t burst.’

Sega moved sideways, slashing at the water blobs and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

[90%]

[83%]

Injuries from minor thorns were ignored.

‘Pyromancy, heat rays.’

He gathered his magical power and created three blue fireballs in the air.

Jiiing!

As the fireball collapsed, a blue flame ray shot out, cutting through the wind.

“Even fire magic with black magic?”

“And Cheongyeon. It’s even more amazing to create a heat ray with that.”

“I don’t know. I thought Yoon Da-na would have the advantage, but… … .”

The scouts in the audience clenched their fists, and the students looked at them with skeptical eyes.

However, ‘Surely’ tends to end with ‘Of course’ more often than not.

Chomp chomp chomp!

A giant water droplet floating in the air changed shape and became a thick shield.

Cheeeeek!

No matter how strong the heat ray was, it was bound to be incompatible with water.

All three lines of heat were canceled out by the steam, and Yundana tried to blow the water chunks again while keeping her shield afloat.

‘Okay.’

But Sega showed a smile of conversion.

‘Inside!’

All it takes is a moment of carelessness.

The shapeless blade curved around the shield and cut through Yundana’s body fiercely.

Choaaaak!

A red light flashed and Yoon Dana’s stamina gauge dropped significantly.

‘Thank you, Professor Banhaedo.’

It was a blow that increased the area and increased the hit rate in an urgent situation where precise aiming was difficult.

[59%]

Another gasp erupted from the audience.

“nice!”

“yes!”

Lee Gyeom and Joo Da-hyun clenched their fists tightly.

“Yes! The situation is. Don’t give in to the other guy! I’m telling you to win!”

Kang Joo-hyuk burst into fierce laughter.

“Huh? What was it?”

Yoon Da-na stretched her shield to the side in embarrassment.

Sega then fired the Flame Bullet.

‘The spiral has the best penetration.’

I fired the bullet while imagining two rebars being twisted.

Blue rays of light, visible only to Sega’s eyes, tangled like a twisted rope, and the sharp tips pointed at Yundana.

pop!

The thin water shield was easily pierced, and a salt bullet was stuck in Yundana’s body.

[39%]

Yoon Da-na staggered as if she was about to collapse at any moment.

His idiotic eyes trembled.

“That’s right! That’s how it is done!”

“Sega, fighting!”

All the students from Banhaedo and Class 1 cheered together.

“Aren’t you going to come to your senses?”

The professor of class 16 shouted at Yoon Da-na, and Lee Na-na crossed her legs and smiled faintly.

Percussion!

The situation has once again kicked the ground.

Yoon Da-na bit her lower lip.

“It hurts. This. It’s weird.”

The protective vest was stiff and my body couldn’t move well.

I felt uncomfortable and annoyed.

“No. I don’t like it!”

As it had been for 17 years, the water obeyed her will.

Tsk tsk tsk!

A thick field of water enveloped her body without any gaps.

It was like I had entered a giant water droplet.

The students of Class 16 cheered, and the second-year watercraft professor grabbed the second-year students and told them to look at the first-year students.

It was one of the few techniques that could block black magic.

However, Sega advanced forward, firing a spread-type water bullet.

With an invincible smile on his face.

* * *

Inside the Shuryu station, the hair sways like seaweed.

“Don’t come.”

Yoon Da-na muttered while looking at the situation.

Everyone else would have collapsed at this point, but strangely enough, that guy didn’t collapse.

“Don’t come. I told you not to!”

Choaaaah.

The water masses floating in the air merged into one to form a giant water bullet.

A water bullet as big as a house slammed into the ground, casting a shadow on it.

It was powerful enough to instantly reduce Sega’s stamina to 0.

‘If you come out like this!’

Sega, on the other hand, smiled brightly.

Since each power is burdensome anyway, I would be grateful if they could be combined into one.

He repeatedly breathed more sword energy into the sword and then withdrew it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A shock wave like a heartbeat occurred.

He swung his sword down in one stroke, and the blue shockwave of sword energy exploded the large water bullet in one go.

Choaack!

A huge amount of water poured down onto the ground like a water splash at a water park.

As the sunlight reflected off the water droplets and broke into rainbow colors, Sega ran through the spray.

Yundana ground her teeth and waved her hand, and the water scattered on the floor gathered again and enveloped Sega like slime.

“Dana said. Right there! Stay still!”

The ultimate bondage that makes even breathing impossible.

[80%]

[76%]

[65%]

Under that pressure, the gauge also fell steadily.

But Sega strangely noticed that it wasn’t that bothersome.

‘Why aren’t you out of breath?’

I had awakened and was able to hold my breath for longer periods of time, but now I felt like a fish.

‘That giant magic stone. Professor Haejun Sang said that it may have gained additional abilities.’

Yoon Da-na made a gesture of putting her hands together to suppress Jeong Se-ga in the water.

“profit.”

He also tried to strengthen his control over the water by drawing the water sphere closer.

At that moment, Sega opened his eyes wide.

‘Now is the chance.’

He put a thin black ink circle around his left thumbnail and cut his index finger, drawing blood.

The magical power that formed the water sphere was absorbed.

The magical power in the water swirled and rushed towards Sega’s wounded area.

pop!

The water prison burst and spilled out, and Yoon Da-na’s face was distorted with bewilderment.

“My magic. Why. Did it disappear?”

Then Sega created a translucent platform under his feet and kicked the air.

“I won! Yoon Dana!”

He thrust his sword, burning with black energy, into Yoon Da-na’s chest.
