Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 79



Only Noblemtl

(079)

Two female students from Ivory Tower faced each other.

“Hey, hey. Someone call the teaching assistant.”

“Can I not stop you? No, I didn’t mean to stop you.”

The surrounding students either hesitated or ran away without looking back at the ominous atmosphere.

“he?”

Cheon Sa-hee smiled with interest from a distance from the two.

At that moment, Joo Da-hyun distorted her small face like an evil spirit.

“The weak ones are clinging to BB Aegis to survive.”

The space around her seemed to distort bizarrely, her partially dyed red hair rose into the sky, and her telekinesis was activated, crumpling steel like tissue paper.

Zzz!

While the surrounding students screamed and ran away, Joo Ra-hyun just stood there smiling.

Thud!

There seemed to be a strong backlash around her, and then the space itself distorted and formed a force field.

“Are you weak and falling out?”

Her short hair, partially dyed blue, soared into the sky.

“That’s not something an ignorant and brave older sister should say. I showed talent for research since I was young. Do you know who contributed to the development of the Portrait of Gold? And… … That’s even more inappropriate for a half-retard who can’t do anything without always having magic activation potions and magic affinity potions in his mouth to say?”

“Okay. Okay. Everyone calm down.”

Lee Gyeom tried to approach Joo Da-hyun while laughing.

“… … Sister. What is this? Are you bringing something like this around?”

“sorry!”

I figured out the mood and ran among the students.

“I’ve decided. I’m going to kill you in the most painful way in the world.”

Joo Da-hyun lowered her voice.

“I’ve decided. My sister will live the most painful life in the world. She was blinded by money, killed her father, a hero of humanity, and lost all her strength as a result of karma. … … Or, you can let her go in peace.”

Jurahyun laughed proudly and cheekily.

“How about that, that?”

The teaching assistants who had come running felt the faces of the two and the force clashing between them and gritted their teeth.

“For now, you guys just avoid it. I’ll tell the professor… … .”

The moment an assistant was about to step forward, rolling up his sleeves.

“What’s the problem?”

Sega came down from the professor’s lab.

The two of them were facing off against the students who had retreated in a semicircle, and Cheon Sa-hee, who was giggling, caught my eye.

‘… … I see.’

“Segada.”

“Sega?”

One by one, the students looked at him with expectant eyes.

‘Maybe Sega can do it?’

It seemed like he thought he might be able to stop those two.

‘Why do you think so?’

Sega walked as if he wanted to run away.

‘Why? Because I made you think that way!’

And yet, he raised his head more calmly and confidently than anyone else in the world.

‘Yeah. I can’t just leave Dahyun like that. If I keep clashing with her over every little thing, it’ll only make things harder for me.’

Sega approached Cheon Sa-hee, who was watching the clash between the two with interest, neither Ju Da-hyun nor Ju Ra-hyun.

‘You won’t get anything by trying to trick the president.’

Cheon Sa-hee asked with a stupid, evil smile.

“Oh my. Sega. What’s going on?”

“Let’s finish this. Break is over, but class isn’t progressing.”

“Was I qualified to interfere in the Ivory Tower’s domestic strife?”

She gave him a look of incomprehension.

“If you want to interfere, where can you not interfere?”

Sega denied the question itself.

“That’s true.”

Cheon Sa-hee nodded as if that was the correct answer.

“Stop it.”

She gestured toward Jurahyun as if calling her a pet.

“… … You know you’re lucky, sis.”

As soon as Joo Ra-hyun saw that, he withdrew his telekinesis first and stepped away from Joo Da-hyun.

Damn it.

Sega crossed with Jurahyun and approached Judahyun.

“Are you okay? Take a deep breath.”

He put his arm around the small of her back and supported her.

“Sega?”

Joo Da-hyun raised her head in surprise.

At that moment, I heard students chattering behind me.

“Joo Da-hyun, that guy even treats his own cousin like that.”

“That’s why. Since he’s that kind of kid, there’s no way he wouldn’t have been talked about killing Dr. Joo.”

“Why is Sega so kind to that kid? It’s already a broken string.”

She gritted her teeth.

‘If this continues, you will also drift away. That can’t be. I won’t lose anything anymore. To do that… … I have to stop having things.’

He said it as if he was exhaling hot air.

“go.”

“what?”

“If you stay with me, you’ll hear things like that too.”

Sega’s arm supporting her trembled slightly.

She closed her eyes tightly and waited for the last support to disappear.

“… … ?”

But the arm was still there.

The situation is resolved firmly.

“I’ve heard rumors, too. That you killed Dr. Joo over an inheritance dispute. I don’t know how many people think that, but at least I don’t think so.”

Joo Da-hyun realized anew that there was a sweet and refreshing acacia scent coming from Sega’s body.

“So remember, there is one person in the world who believes you are innocent.”

It was a word that sounded like the spring sun shining down.

It was a horse that took off a traveler’s coat.

I thought I wouldn’t have it because I was afraid of losing it.

Now I don’t even know who had whom.

“……huh.”

There was a tear in her voice.

In Shinseoul, the ‘midterm exam’ is the midterm exam for the comprehensive hunting science subject, which is a required major subject.

This comprehensive hunting science midterm exam consisted of a written and a practical test, and the general consensus was that the practical test was difficult enough to kill you, while the written test was difficult enough to not kill you.

“Have you seen last year’s exam questions? How do you solve this?”

“I’m somehow able to study my major and modern history, but I just can’t solve my other major, comprehensive hunting studies, and venomous techniques.”

“Get up! Get up! Come on! There’s a limit to how much you can earn in the practical test. You have to hit rock bottom here.”

However, there was no student who could boldly throw away his notes.

There was a limit to how much one could increase one’s practical score.

Unless they are monsters like Kang Joo-hyuk or Jeong Se-ga, most students can only aim for a B+ or an A in their major subjects during the performance assessment.

In other words, it was a structure that made it difficult to overcome shortcomings in writing through practical skills.

Since I got more points in my major, he’ll get more points in his major too.

If you don’t want to get kicked out at the end of the semester as the bottom 10%, you have to make up for it by making up for it in an area where everyone else is competing equally.

I studied theory with Sega’s assistants.

“Sega. Study more about the ecology of demons in the swordsmanship and comprehensive hunting studies. Iljinrim, take care of the bloodletting technique and mobile marksmanship, and you cover the body technique-explorer and lightning technique. If you fall asleep today, I’ll buy you coffee.”

Joo Da-hyun grabbed the mechanical pencil floating in the air while sharpening her teeth.

Sega and Jinrim, overwhelmed by the momentum, silently buried their heads in their books and laptop screens, and Lee Gyeom also quietly folded his hands and left the Internet humor page.

Comprehensive hunting studies was a group class, and the test was also given in a group setting.

This was the reason why it was advantageous for all crew members to have different majors.

The group consisting of Rigid Magician, Rigid Magician, Rigid Magician, and Rigid Magician was bound to have a hard time dealing with other specialized issues.

And since Joo Da-hyun was one of the best students in the entire school when it came to handwriting, she had more say than usual.

“Corpse-monger! Why is the detective narrative answer like this? ‘After finding the demon, lure it to a sunny place so that the scavenger hunters can easily dismember it.’ Are you kidding me? Are you a hunter or a scavenger?”

“Iljinrim! Write down how the three stages of diffusion, penetration, and collapse occur in the blood technique. Do you just get the answer? You’re the only one who can just do it!”

While Lee Gyeom and Iljinrim were at a loss, Sega quietly kept his mouth shut and memorized the theoretical explanations of the three techniques of the sword technique.

‘This is no joke.’

It was the first time I studied seriously since the high school qualification exam.

“Sunmi, I’m sorry. I think I have to stay and study today.”

“Yeah. Then I guess I should go to the dorm and study today.”

Sega stayed up all night concentrating, just like when he was practicing swordsmanship.

‘Ah. I used up all my pens.’

Black letters were engraved endlessly on the white notebook.

‘I feel a little proud?’

“We will now begin the comprehensive hunting science written midterm exam. The time is 2 hours and 30 minutes and there are a total of 10 subjects.”

Leena, standing at the podium, looked at the students and made a cold declaration.

“For each subject that receives a score of 80 or higher, a Shin Seoul Comprehensive Hunting Foundation gift certificate worth 3 million won will be awarded to each group leader as a scholarship for excellent performance. However, if cheating is discovered, all group members will receive a score of 0, so please take this into consideration.”

In Shinseoul, misconduct was also dealt with firmly.

“However, in the case of cheating using portrait abilities, if the act is not discovered until the score is tallied, the scores will not be invalidated later.”

Only discovered misconduct was dealt with firmly.

Some students looked at Ina with a skeptical expression on their faces after hearing her words.

There was also talk that it would be enough for a person with psychic abilities, such as a salt person or a salt person, to tell everything.

However, students who knew about Shinseoul, such as Kang Joo-hyuk and Joo Da-hyun, smiled bitterly.

It was not an indulgence based on meritocracy, but a declaration of war that said, “If you’re going to try, try it.”

Students in Class 1 sat at their desks in groups and prepared for the test.

The teaching assistants came in and handed out ten test papers, practice papers, and ten OMR cards.

“Get started.”

The exam has begun.

Joo Da-hyun quickly sorted the problem sheets and distributed them to Se-ga, Jin-rim, and Gyeom.

“Sega, quickly solve the Gangchejutsu and Geomki Geomjutsu, and if you have time, take a look at the comprehensive hunting studies and the ecology of the demon beasts.”

“okay.”

“Jinrim, I’ll just ask you for Mobile Marksmanship and Bloodletting. After you’ve solved Mobile Marksmanship, I’ll ask you to do a cross-examination.”

“check.”

“You, Corpse Hunter, take charge of the Lightning and Body Magic Explorer parts. After you’re done, make sure to check with Iljinrim and Sega.”

“Why am I the only one being treated like this?”

“I’ll take telekinesis, modern history, poison magic, comprehensive hunting science, and pyromancy.”

“Answer me!”

As she gave her final instructions, the sound of papers turning could be heard from all directions.

“Everyone, just use your cool-headed cat-like mentality and mark any questions you don’t understand and move on.”

Sega looked at the test paper with a feeling of his heartbeat calming down.

‘At first, I couldn’t solve anything properly.’

I wondered how much things had changed since then.

‘How divine have I become?’

[Swordsmanship, 5]

Which of the following is an appropriate characteristic of ‘medium wave’?

‘Large bells are too big to be cut with medium waves, and medium waves are a technique that targets the weak point rather than going for it. The correct answer is 4.’

[Rigid Technique, No. 12]

Pick all the moments when the Ritualist becomes vulnerable.

‘Even the most skilled body magician has a limit to how long he can hold his breath, and amorphous demons are not easily affected by physical attacks. The correct answer is number 2.’

[Comprehensive hunting science, horse ecology section]

Select all the demons that appear in coastal areas and write about their characteristics.

A confident smile appeared on Sega’s lips as he read the problem.

‘These are all the guys I caught during the first mission evaluation. They’re doable.’

Two hours and thirty minutes passed like a bullet.

“10 minutes left. Check your OMR card and prepare to submit it.”

As soon as the assistant teacher spoke, Joo Da-hyun looked at the members of Group 8.

“Stop your hands and cross-check what you’ve solved so far with what you marked on the card. Wait, Corpse Man, why are you still there?”

“I can’t seem to solve this problem… … .”

“Hand it over here right now and check the card.”

Sega also quickly checked the problems it had solved.

Even though I solved the problem correctly, there were places where I checked the wrong things, and my heart pounded.

“The test is over. Everyone, please put your hands under your desks.”

So, the midterm written exam for Shinseoul has ended.

As I was lying there feeling exhausted, the class president came over and handed me the answer sheet.

Joo Da-hyun quickly ran to the answer sheet and marked the score for Group 8.

“How many points did we get?”

Sega asked, hiding his trembling.
