Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 64



Only Noblemtl

(064)

Sega somehow managed to get Dahyun’s understanding and head to the corner of the gym with Nayeosu.

Na Yeo-su, unlike anyone who is a member of the biggest gang of thugs on campus, hunched her shoulders and glanced at Joo Da-hyun.

“What was that just now? Weren’t we talking about something like this? Why is the Maseok conglomerate right next to you?”

Students usually looked down on Joo Da-hyun.

It was quite ironic that the ones who were afraid of Joo Da-hyun were the Iljinrim gang, who were usually feared by students.

“We’re in the same group. Me, Kyeom-i, Jin-rim-ssi, and Da-hyeon too.”

Nayeosu opened her mouth, trembling.

“Ah. Right. Sometimes, lightning strikes even in the clear sky, and the task force shows up even on public holidays. I checked, but there aren’t any kids from Squad 1 there. Even if there are, it doesn’t seem like they’re targeting you.”

“How do you know that?”

Sega asked in surprise, and she gave a strange answer.

“A look? There’s that look in your eyes. It’s not just a look, it’s a look that looks and thinks. A look that looks at a stack of money, not a person.”

‘Is this a supernatural ability? I thought I could feel alive just fine. Surely you can’t read my mind too?’

Sega was impressed but nervous, and Yeosu continued speaking.

“There are four in our class 6, and three for sure in class 8. The other one is a bit ambiguous.”

“vagueness?”

She glanced at the female student standing in front of Jang Kwon-se.

A roughly trimmed blue short-haired girl, two long scars carved into her face, a tall stature that was not much different from Sega’s eye level, and a voluptuous chest that pulled the buttons of her shirt tightly.

The best lightning wizard in the first year, the leader of Class 8 who even Iljinrim is wary of.

Jeseocheon.

“ah.”

“I’ll organize it by name and send it to you later.”

Then the assistant called Sega.

“Student Jeong Se-ga! I will test the live current amplification right now!”

Sega thanked Yeosu and ran to the line in front of the stage.

“Sorry I’m late.”

“Please wait in advance from next time. Since Jeong Se-ga is a non-major, he will be on this side.”

The assistant rolled his eyes and placed Sega in front of the white line.

“no.”

At that time, Jang Kwon-se approached them.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

A mature man with a stylish suit, a large gold ring, and impressive scars of various sizes.

“Hmm. Let’s consider Sega students as majors. We took classes together, didn’t we?”

The assistant and Sega simultaneously expressed their doubts.

“yes?”

“yes?”

“From next time, I guess I’ll learn bio-radar technology from the specialist group.”

The teaching assistant checked the scores with an embarrassed expression.

“Then there will be confusion in the performance evaluation scores.”

The full scores for the major and non-major performance evaluations were completely different.

Since it was generally impossible to have more than one major subject, there was no problem evaluating it in this way.

However, if someone takes the performance assessment for both subjects in a major group, the student’s total score increases significantly.

It was not an issue to be taken lightly, as it involved a large scholarship, promotion to the second year of school, and dropping out of school.

But Jang Kwon-se said as if it didn’t matter.

“Hmm? Special students should be given special opportunities. If they have the same skills as majors but don’t get the same grades, isn’t that unfair?”

The assistant was wondering how to handle this part administratively, but then he looked into Jang Kwon-se’s eyes and closed his mouth.

Jang Kwon-se looked at Sega as if he was holding a gold nugget in his hand.

‘Even if my major is taken away by the Kendo God, I can at least keep my minor here. Once I take the same classes as the majors, I’ll naturally blend in.’

He glanced at Kang Joo-hyuk, who was looking this way.

“Ah. Right. Let’s have Joohyuk take another performance evaluation in the major group. He is also a major-level talent.”

“all right.”

The assistant nodded as always.

Because that was all she could do.

“Sega, please wait a little longer. I will start the chain lightning release next time.”

* * *

Sega stood at the front of the stage and watched the performance evaluation of the lightning specialists.

“Just one more, just one more!”

In front, there were ten black pillars made of a material that absorbed electricity, spaced 3 meters apart, and they radiated chain-like electric shocks to see how many of them could be hit simultaneously.

“Ouch! I can only get four! I can only get one battery.”

“Hehehe. At least I got the average. Six. One battery and a gift certificate!”

The awakened lightning magicians from three classes, Class 1, Class 6, and Class 8, lined up in groups of three or four at a time and sprayed lightning.

If the lightning reached the sixth pillar, you would easily get a B+ and be in the top ranks, and occasionally, if you hit the seventh or eighth pillar, you would get an A or A+.

“Student Jeseocheon. Pillar number 10. Perfect score!”

As if it were a given, Je Seo-cheon hit the 10th pillar and took the expensive gift certificate and three batteries.

She shrugged and walked through the cliques, high-fiving them, her Japanese irezumi tattoos flashing through the sleeves of her school shirt as she raised her hand.

She approached Sega with a rough gait.

“Hey. Are you here too?”

She had short blue hair like a man and a big scar, but she was beautiful.

Her jawline and nose bridge were pleasingly slender, her eyes were surprisingly profound, and her sunken waist contrasted with her ample chest and assertive hips, making her look even more slender.

“Of course it should be like that.”

Sega answered with a confident smile, and Je Seo-cheon naturally reached out and grabbed Sega’s hand.

It was soft and warm.

“Do you remember what I taught you?”

“The feeling of applying strength to each finger, not just the back of the hand. The feeling of exhaling all the way to the end and emptying the lungs when emitting electricity. Of course I remember it.”

“Hey. That’s good. Okay. Are you going to get an A+ for sure? Since I taught you, you have to save my life, right?”

She laughed heartily and patted Sega on the back.

“What’s the situation like for students?”

“Yes, I’m ready.”

Sega thought as he walked towards the line of pillars at the assistant’s call.

‘Is he trying to behead me too?’

The key difference between the factions that presupposed beheading and post-graduation employment was the will of the individual parties.

Just as Iljinrim formed a group that was out of the norm, Jeseocheon could have done the same.

It remained to be seen whether it would be a beheading, a scouting offer, or neither.

“When you blow the whistle, you just have to do your best to shoot out lightning.”

Segawa Juhyuk was in the last group for the major performance evaluation.

I looked at the black pillars lined up one after another, with four Awakened beings, including two specialists and Segawa Juhyuk.

Beep!

A high-pitched whistle blew, and the four Awakened Ones unleashed a blast of electricity with all their might.

“let’s go!”

The first female student was a major in class 1.

Land! Land! Land!

The yellow lightning she shot out superheated the black pillar that was sucking in the current and moved on to the next pillar.

It was like a fight to fill an empty cup with water as it gradually grew bigger.

Land! … … Land! … … … Land!

She managed to blast the sixth pillar with lightning, then raised both her hands in the air.

“please!”

The second male student was also a major in Class 6, but he was limited to the fifth pillar.

The blue current advanced towards the sixth pillar and then subsided, and he hunched his shoulders.

The third was Kang Joo-hyuk from class 1.

‘The situation. Look at it carefully.’

He stretched his large hand forward and unleashed a blast of red electricity.

Phage crackle!

A bright red lightning bolt instantly connected the first and second pillars.

Land! Land!

The third and fourth pillars were also passed without difficulty.

Land, ttang!

Although I faltered a bit when moving from the fifth pillar to the sixth pillar, I eventually succeeded in reaching the top ranks even by major standards.

Taang!

At the last moment, I held on even while holding my right wrist with my left hand, but success was success.

“Kang Joo-hyuk is also really great.”

“No matter how much advance learning you have done, it’s a completely different thing to be at the major level.”

Now, almost a month and a half after entering the school, the advanced learners who had been at the top of every class were now only in the upper-middle ranks of the non-major group.

Although he was still strong in his major, he was unable to catch up with the students who had awakened to his other characteristics and were trained in Shinseoul, even though he had learned them a little earlier.

So, Kang Joo-hyuk’s achievement of taking the sixth pillar with lightning tactics was definitely worthy of applause.

‘Did you see? The situation?’

Sega just stared at the pillars in front of him and fired his lightning.

‘Don’t be conscious of it. He’s really S-class 77%. Let’s just do what’s best for us. That’s how we survive.’

‘Fingers, not hands.’

‘You have to use electricity, not horsepower. With the feeling of pushing all the way.’

A bright blue electric spark streaked across the air.

Land! Land!

The first and second pillars passed without a hitch.

Land, ttang! ttang!

However, from the third pillar onwards, Sega’s lightning started to show strange phenomena.

The blue current suddenly split like tree branches, one shooting straight ahead and two shooting diagonally toward the pillars ahead.

Phage crackle!

Sega’s lightning struck three black pillars on the fourth row at the same time, then split once more on the fifth row and struck four pillars.

‘What outrageous thing have you done again?’

Kang Joo-hyuk gritted his teeth.

‘Ha. I didn’t think of that.’

Je Seo-cheon stuck out his tongue.

‘What, what? I’m supposed to write that it penetrated several pillars? And that’s… … .’

Although it was rough and had some rough edges, it resembled the fan-shaped radiation that you learn in the second grade.

The assistant’s hands trembled, and Jang Kwon-se smiled with satisfaction.

‘Hmm. Very good! You’re going to attack the area, not the distance. Are you assuming a one-on-many situation, which is a weakness that is difficult to overcome now? With that much passion, I guess we can expect you to use lightning techniques in the future. In that case… … .’

Jang Kwon-se, in a rare instance, declared the score himself.

“Hmm. The situation.”

“yes.”

“It’s A0. If you can attack five pillars in the fifth row next time, I’ll change it to A+. First, take the gift certificate and two batteries.”

“thank you.”

Jeong Se-ga bowed his head politely and turned around.

Trying to ignore the countless shocked stares following behind me.

‘Is it because I’m not a major that I have poor control? My lightning spreads out unusually well. It was the same when I dropped the drone in the last class. After sending it to the third pillar, I didn’t have the confidence to send it any further, so I thought I should spread it out even wider, but this is what happened? Since it’s a pillar that draws in lightning anyway, it’ll be hard to send it to the next pillar, but it’s easy to send it to multiple pillars?’

Je Seo-cheon watched Jeong Se-ga’s back until the end.

‘A genius is a genius. But it doesn’t seem to be just talent. I really gritted my teeth and pushed through until the very end. On four pillars.’

Her eyes gleamed dangerously.

‘He’s a passionate guy. He’s always sincere. If you raise him well and tease him gently, I think he’ll catch all those bastards.’

Je Seo-cheon glanced at one of the students in the faction and said.

“Do some background research. Personal history, family history, financial status, ideal type, likes and dislikes, etc.”

* * *

“A? You’re crazy. You’re crazy. Sega, if you keep doing this, you’ll be number one in the whole school.”

Lee Gyeom was acting excited all the way to his pyromancy class.

Sega answered with an awkward laugh.

“Don’t get too excited. There are some students who got A+’s in lightning. How can I be the top student in the entire school?”

“Instead, they’ll die in other classes. But you’re different. Look at Miss Joo Da-hyun. Of course, you’ll get an A+ in telekinesis. But in lightning, no matter how well you do, you’ll only get a D.”

“Hey! You corpse. Shut up! Did you give me anything to help me get a D?”

Joo Da-hyun snapped angrily.

She eventually succeeded in jumping using bioelectrical amplification, and received a mid-level score among non-specialists.

The landing and stability were excellent, but the jump distance was less than 5m.

Even though it was a standing jump without a run-up, it was a record that could be compared to that of non-awakened athletes.

“Still, I’m glad you succeeded in getting your body back. Dahyun, you’re not a telekinesis magician, right? You just need to be good at telekinesis.”

Sega looked at Dahyun with a sad smile, and Dahyun made a soulful expression and then shook her head vigorously.

“Just wait and see! I’m the top student in the entire school. I’ll win in pyromancy!”

Of course, the pyromancy class was also a performance evaluation.

“For non-major students, combustion is a performance evaluation. If they succeed in ignition, they will receive full marks based on the non-major standard. For major students, I will teach them new techniques for performance evaluation.”

Hwa Ye-shin looked down at the students with her characteristic snake-like eyes.

“And Jeong Se-ga and Kang Ju-hyeok, come as a group of specialists.”

Her assistant looked just as embarrassed as the lightning assistant.
