Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 65



Only Noblemtl

(065)

Hwa Ye-shin began her lecture while looking down at the fire magic specialists, Kang Ju-hyeok, and Jeong Se-ga.

“So far, I have taught you two attack techniques. Tuesday. What were those two techniques?”

Her faded white hair gave her the impression of an old woman who had lived through much of the world, but her yellow eyes still sparkled with hatred for the devil.

“He taught me about ‘ignition’, which creates fierce flames on the ground, and ‘heat rays’, which shoot high-temperature rays into the air.”

Even Hwayo, one of the best pyromancers in the first year, always responded with military discipline in front of Hwayesin like a new recruit.

“Good. Excellent. Both are good techniques. If you master ignition, you can create a huge explosion that can crush small demons, and if you master heat rays, you can pierce through the shell of any demon.”

Actually, Hwa Ye-shin was not the type of person to be stingy with praise and recognition.

“But both of these techniques have drawbacks. The situation. Can you answer?”

Sega knew that and answered calmly.

“Yes. The ignition has a limited range and there is a possibility that friendly forces will be caught up. The heat ray is difficult to target more than one enemy at a time, so it is not effective against multiple low-level demons.”

Hwa Ye-shin nodded with satisfaction.

“It was accurate.”

Hwa Ye-shin continued her lecture while Kang Joo-hyuk clenched his fist as if he could answer as well.

“Ignition can cause a huge explosion, but it is difficult to increase the range. Heat rays are easy to attack from a distance, but weak in area attacks.”

She explained the pros and cons of each technique, stretching out her fingers one by one, before finally opening her palm completely.

“So we decided to combine the two technologies.”

It seemed as if flames were rising above it, and just before the heat ray was fired, a fireball of the same shape burst into flames.

Hurrruk!

As the students cheered, Hwa Ye-shin smiled brightly.

“The skill we’re learning today is Fireball. It’s not as good as Heat Ray, but it has a long range, and while it’s not as good as Ignition, it’s a great range weapon.”

“This is our pyromancer’s bread and butter. We throw these here and there in the plains teeming with low-level demons, surround them, and use the flames to control them, burning them all. If you wait a little, the scavengers will search through the ashes and fill their baskets with magic stones.”

“It’s also useful against powerful single entities. This is a technique like a bomb. If you can use it properly, most of the guys will explode in one go.”

Sega listened to Hwa Ye-shin’s explanation with his eyes sparkling without him realizing it.

‘awesome.’

Powerful firepower has always been a man’s dream, and it fits well with Sega’s fighting style of combining various techniques.

‘If you start by throwing one or two fireballs and then rush in, you should be able to kill a decent amount of demons halfway through. It’d be good to use in duel evaluations as well.’

All of the pyromancers had a look of determination in their eyes, wondering if they were the only ones who had such thoughts.

Hwa Ye-shin smiled as if she liked the look in his eyes.

“Fireball is a technique that is exactly in between a heat ray and ignition. In terms of compression, it is the same as a heat ray.”

“Rather than releasing it all at once and turning it into a hot wire, release it little by little and fly it while maintaining some degree of compression.”

“I’ll evaluate your performance next week with this. Starting with A, I’ll give you a generous amount of store gift certificates, so start practicing. As always, if you succeed today, I’ll give you an extra 10 million won certificate, and if you succeed first, I’ll give you two more.”

The students answered loudly.

“””yes!”””

The practice continued for an hour.

Sega showed off a blue sphere on his palm, sweating profusely.

Today, as always, an expensive gift certificate was stuck in my pocket.

‘It’s difficult. But it’s fun.’

Because it consumed a huge amount of magical power at once in a different way from the sword technique, it was difficult to practice it carelessly.

‘It really seems like a mix between the two techniques. It consumes a lot of magical power like ignition, and then tries to pop out like a heat ray.’

Caution was needed because it could easily explode right in front of you.

In fact, several people have already had potion sprays sprayed on their faces in the past hour.

‘It’s still hard to say that I’ve mastered either one. It’s the complete opposite of lightning.’

Rather than teaching new techniques even before the duel evaluation, the classes were conducted with the goal of mastering techniques already learned.

On the other hand, pyromancy taught a new technique called heat ray at that time, and less than a week later, another new technique called pyromancy emerged.

“Pyromantics progresses much faster than lightning magic.”

As Sega muttered as if talking to himself, Hwayo, who was practicing nearby, nodded her head slightly.

“It’s different from lightning tactics. Lightning tactics are just about emitting electricity after you can emit lightning, but we can do a lot of different things.”

“Tuesday?”

The black-haired pyromancer Hwa-yo was Kang Joo-hyuk’s closest confidant, and the general consensus in school was that Kang Joo-hyuk and Jeong Se-ga were at odds with each other.

So the situation where she spoke to Sega first was very strange.

“Be careful, Joo-hyuk is gnashing his teeth and saying he’ll show you an example next week, 78%.”

Tuesday concluded her speech with a smile.

The tone was such that I couldn’t tell if it was a threat or a warning.

So Sega answered with a confident smile as always.

“It will all be torn apart and disappear.”

“!”

Cheerful laughter came out from all over.

Lunch time.

The first-year cafeteria in Shinseoul was packed with 1,100 first-year students, making it very hectic.

It was natural that even though distribution tables were set up in four locations and eight lines were operated, there were still close to 150 people per line.

“But the food is still delicious. The chefs are really the best.”

Lee Gyeom smiled as he dipped the crispy fried food in sauce.

“Corpse. Do you like this? The fried food smells like burnt oil, the salad has too much sauce on it, and the soup tastes like MSG. Oh. This meat isn’t real either, it’s cultured meat. You said the texture is strange.”

Joo Da-hyun muttered in discontent while stirring the food on her plate with her chopsticks.

Her small face and distinct features were like those of an angel, but I couldn’t understand why she kept saying such outrageous things.

“Wow. You actually eat meat? We only eat meatballs made from cultured meat.”

“Your taste is too cheap, Sega. What do you think?”

Kyeom and Dahyun looked at Sega at the same time.

Sega looked at the side dishes on the plate and then said.

“At that orphanage, they usually served oatmeal with cricket protein powder and things like kimchi. I’m glad they’re eating proper food.”

Lee Gyeom shouted proudly.

“See! I told you you’re so picky.”

Joo Da-hyun made a world-lost expression.

“Why don’t you take my side? Why?”

“Don’t be so hard on Sega! Is this something to be taken lightly?”

“Shut up, you corpse!”

Eventually, the two began to fight emotionally again, and Iljinrim shook his head.

“I knew this would happen.”

“If you knew this would happen, why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“I told you, didn’t I?”

She glanced over her sunglasses, and Sega smirked.

Just before an awkward silence began to flow, Iljinrim opened his mouth.

“I ate a lot of that, too. We mixed the two together, added saccharin and edible glue, and hardened it to make it like an energy bar.”

“Oh. We did that sometimes too. We really liked it because it was sweet.”

Sega responded happily.

The only person I could share this story with was Iljinrim.

“That didn’t come out either? A strange pudding. It was dark purple and smelled like maple syrup.”

“That’s right. That’s made with the leftover gelatin from making cultured meat. It was really delicious. I gave it to a lot of stores.”

“We too. When we came back alive, he gave us one each. Every time we bled and got dizzy, we remembered that scent.”

The most promising first-year student and the famous punk chatted for a while about the cheap pudding they ate as children.

Wow!

Just then, I heard the sound of a plate falling from the table next to me.

“Say it again! Say it again, you cowardly little bastard!”

As soon as Sega heard that high, proud, and raspy voice, he felt the hair on the back of his neck being pulled.

Joo Da-hyun was strangling another female student.

Iljinrim laughed bitterly, and Sega stood up to stop her.

* * *

“Why did you do that?”

Sega succeeded in dissuading Dahyun quite skillfully.

It was natural, since similar things had happened more than once or twice.

“I treat you like a dog. Money is good. How good it must be for even your father to… … .”

Joo Da-hyun, sitting across the table from him, couldn’t continue speaking and looked at Sega with tearful eyes.

“I don’t know. I won’t tell. Don’t ask.”

“no.”

“It’s none of your business whether I fight or not!”

Sega looked at the group at the next table who were running away, or rather, running away.

‘I think I said something that could strangle you.’

Lee Gyeom smiled broadly and spoke to Dahyun.

“If the team leader keeps piling up penalty points and gets expelled, will our team be ruined? Please take some responsibility.”

“shut up!”

Dahyun pressed her lips up and down against Leegyeom’s and covered her face with both hands.

At that moment, Iljinrim elbowed Sega in the side.

“?”

“excuse me.”

Nayeosu was waving at the exit of the restaurant.

“ah.”

Sega tried to get up from his seat.

‘What should I do?’

At that moment, Joo Da-hyun peeked her eyes out from between her fingers and looked at Sega, and saw him stand up and face someone behind him.

‘uh?’

It was that same slut I saw in the lightning class.

“It’s been peeking out like that for a while now!”

Before Sega had time to say anything, telekinesis appeared in Dahyun’s grasp.

Woof!

Yeosu, who was standing at the exit of the restaurant, was dragged to the table where Group 8 was gathered as if a leash was being pulled around her neck.

“Huh?”

She blinked her eyes as if she was dumbfounded, Iljinrim let out a sigh, and Joo Dahyun spewed out anger like a volcano.

“Do you have something to say to me too?”

Na Yeo-su’s copper-colored face turned pale, and Sega hugged Da-hyun from behind.

Dahyun’s face turned red for a moment, and Sega whispered in her ear.

“I’ll explain later. That’s not it.”

After letting go of Joo Da-hyun, he grabbed Na Yeo-su’s hand and ran out of the restaurant.

The two ran along the campus lawn for a while and then stopped.

Nayeosu let out a ragged breath and let out an exclamation.

“Wow. Sega, you’re really fast. I’m also a explorer, so I thought I wouldn’t be outpaced by anyone in terms of speed.”

“Even so, it’s just a rigid swordsmanship. If Dahyun had followed me by flying, you and I would have gone straight to the lake together.”

“No matter how I think about it, keeping an eye on the mood of a mentally unstable tycoon is an extremely extreme job. I’ll have to buy him two drinks.”

“… … I’ll live four times. I don’t have the confidence to stop you.”

“… … I’ll tell you what I find out.”

The cafeteria was a perfect place for all the students to gather and read everyone’s eyes.

“Out of all the kids I just saw, there must be a hundred of them who are greedy for you.”

It was said that one in eleven people harbors evil intentions.

It was an absurd number.

“crazy?”

“Of course, not all of them are like that. Most of them are people who want to get close to each other and get a job later, or eat them on the day of the mission evaluation. If you cross-check with things like family background or origin, the number will be much smaller.”

“Oh. Right.”

“I’ve already remembered their faces. I’ll find out their names and search their personal SNS. Those who recently bought good hunting devices or luxury goods are more likely to be the culprits.”

Sega expressed their sincere gratitude.

“thank you so much.”

Na Yeo-su smiled with both energy and sexiness.

“Don’t forget that I promised to buy you four drinks.”

“I’ll buy a bottle of recovery potion too.”

After breaking up with Sega, Na Yeo-su walked back to her class through a secluded hallway where she wouldn’t run into Joo Da-hyun.

She was particularly sensitive to living within the Iljinrim gang.

I handled it without learning the lightning technique ‘Biological Radar’.

Considering that he was quite talented in bloodletting, he probably also had some weak psychic abilities.

It was quite possible, since the two major sub-types of bloodletting were water magic and the spirit magic.

“!”

At that time, I felt a terrible obsession in one professor’s lab.

‘The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation. The situation.’

She shivered in horror as if she had encountered a ghost, trying to figure out who on earth could possibly be exuding such obsession.

The lab’s nameplate bore a name she knew very well.

[Even if I fall in love]
