Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 98
Only Noblemtl
(098)
A dark night sky with a crescent moon.
The sound of grass swaying in the wind.
The sound of the ground rumbles out of sync.
Sega opened his eyes calmly, using the cat-in-the-brain technique and remaining calm.
As always, a carefree smile was on his face, and his red eyes glowed eerily.
Four Awakened Ones walked forward in front of him.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
They were all wearing masks and heavily armed with hunting devices and artifacts made from the remains of demons.
A sniper rifle that had been targeting them was also seen.
Sega tried to converse in broken English.
“Go back. Don’t kill.”
The tallest man, who seemed to be the leader, muttered something in an unintelligible language.
One of them pulled out a one-handed hammer that sent shockwaves rippling like lightning, another pulled out a one-handed sword, and another pulled out a super-vibration shortsword.
“under.”
Sega then pulled out the Dragon Bone & Turtle Cell Blade after showing his stop.
“I knew this would happen.”
The blue sword energy burned like flames, and Sega charged forward as if tearing at the ground.
Taat!
‘From the captain.’
The distance between them, which had been 10 meters, suddenly converged to zero, and Sega’s sword aimed for the leader of the raiders’ neck.
The raider leader raised his arm to block, and Sega swung his sword, intending to blow off both his arm and his neck.
Phage crackle!
However, the sword was unable to cut the captain’s arm and stopped with a blue electric spark.
‘S-class strongman?!’
Sega was shocked for a moment, thinking that his opponent was a strong body magician comparable to Kang Chae-seo, but when he saw the white defensive plate burn away, he realized that it was an expensive consumable.
‘No. They were just guys with some money.’
It looked like it would block the black magic twice more.
“… … ! … … !”
The captain laughed in a language the captain couldn’t understand and threw a counter punch.
Blue magic gathered in front of the fist, and a shockwave like an aftershock occurred.
‘I’ll watch it through to the end. Just like I learned from Professor Kang Chae-seo.’
At that moment, a red light flashed in Sega’s eyes.
Sega raised his left elbow and accurately blocked the captain’s punch.
Bam!
There was a fierce crash, the leaves in the area shook violently, and the leader and the three men all staggered back.
“Ugh!”
Blue electric sparks flew from the captain’s fist as if something was broken, while Sega, on the other hand, did not even blink an eye.
“… … .”
The raiders looked at each other and thought.
‘You chose correctly. Yes. We should catch that guy and study him.’
‘If we had only studied for a few more months, we would have been robbed?’
Percussion!
Four attackers rushed toward Sega at the same time.
‘One is an elementalist, and three are body magicians.’
Sega observed the movements of the four and inferred their characteristics.
The moment I prepared to strike with lightning, targeting the elementalist with strong firepower, the strong magician holding a one-handed sword shot out a heat ray.
Jiing!
A beam of bright red light passed through Sega’s body and cut down a thick tree behind him.
If I hadn’t avoided the red orb that appeared, I would have definitely been knocked down in one hit.
‘It’s fast. It’s not that the Rigid Magician uses the Heat Ray Artifact, but the Pyromancer uses the Rigid Magic Artifact. It’s not one or three, it’s two or three.’
The next moment, a one-handed hammer-wielding bodyguard rushed forward, swinging his hammer madly, and pressed Sega.
Boohoo! Boom!
Sega tried to block the blow with his sword and cut off its neck in one breath, but the moment he took a step, his feet sank into the ground.
Sega’s legs were held tightly as if they had entered a tidal flat.
The elementalist with the super-vibration sword was an earth magician.
But it wasn’t all loss.
“I got it.”
Phew!
Blood spurted from the eyes of the one-handed hammer-wielding bodyguard, and the next moment, a black aura was lodged in his neck.
In close-range standoff situations, it was common in Shinseoul to shoot a salt bullet and aim for the eyes or vital points.
The one-handed hammer-wielding bodyguard seemed to collapse, but then suddenly got up and swung his hammer at Sega’s head.
Sigh.
On his waist, which he smiled bitterly at, hung an artifact that even Sega knew about.
‘Blood bag?’
earth!
The shockwave hammer struck Sega’s temple, causing the tall boy to stumble violently.
Pfft pfft!
The three remaining attackers simultaneously pulled out their super-vibration daggers and stabbed Sega into his body.
‘You’re talented, but you still lack experience.’
‘It was easier than I thought.’
The raiders thought so.
In the final, final moment, a leisurely smile appeared on the boy’s lips.
* * *
‘Circuit overheating wasn’t as bad as I thought. As I experienced earlier, the key is to increase the output momentarily. The important thing is the method… … When I first learned lightning, wasn’t the output too strong the problem?’
Sega has always had a habit of observing his surroundings and wondering why things are that way.
It was a shame that I didn’t have enough time to practice, but the theory was pretty perfect.
The moment when all four attackers come right up to Sega’s nose and swing their super-vibration short swords and one-handed hammers.
Fire, fire! Fire!
Sega fired a net of electricity and poured all his magical power into it, causing the circuits to overheat.
‘It’s common for pyromancers to have heat resistance, lightning magicians to have electricity resistance, and ice magicians to have cold resistance.’
A blue spider web with a diameter of 10 meters covered five people, including Sega.
‘It looks like I’m the only lightning wizard among us!’
At the last, final moment, the raid leader gaped in shock.
‘Circuit overheating is a technique that you learn in your second year at Shinsoul. Did we misunderstand the information about the kids coming today? Or is it a privilege of direct discipleship? Surely they wouldn’t have copied what we wrote?’
Even with my eyes closed, tears came out.
It was as if the moment when lightning struck was captured on a camera lens.
The blue, almost white light shone brightly.
“Huh!”
All five hunters stumbled together.
“Ha, hahaha!”
The contrast between Sega, who was trembling but smiling leisurely, and the attackers, who were retreating with distorted faces, was striking.
“I’m learning something from you too. The old saying that everyone has something to learn may not be entirely wrong.”
“… … !”
The raiders looked at each other, breathing heavily.
The artifacts they were wearing were losing their shine one by one.
‘I got a good hit.’
‘But it’s not like we’ve lost everything. That guy’s artifact will be silent too.’
The super-vibration blade that could cut through Sega’s solid body became a below-average bone sword, and the battle hammer and gloves that generated shock waves also became extensions of the water.
The Earth Mage, who was carrying a large sniper rifle, quickly pulled out the super-vibration short sword and the sniper rifle.
‘But we still can’t stop this.’
If you’re up against a bodyguard at this distance, a gun would be better.
“Without the artifact, you can only use one ability.”
Sega took a step forward and fired a heat ray.
“I’m not.”
Flash.
A beam of blue light shot out.
“Ugh!”
The geomancer rolled along the floor, burning with a hole in his stomach.
“no!”
The pyromancer, hearing the Earthmage’s scream, started a ‘big conflagration’ at Sega’s feet.
Hurrruk!
It was a firepower that wouldn’t leave even a single bone fragment behind from a medium-sized demon.
The aftermath alone was enough to topple the beautiful tree.
At that time, Sega was already running through the air, kicking the power pedal.
‘How on earth did you avoid it?’
The disabling of the Rigid Artifact did not simply result in a decrease in strength, but rather an overall decline in physical strength, including reaction speed.
‘Unlike the students from Shinseoul, it seems like you didn’t practice not being able to read their gaze or gestures.’
Sega unleashed his formless sword with red eyes glowing.
‘Thank you, Professor Banhaedo.’
wickedness!
An invisible blade swung, and the pyromancer’s head was cut off.
If it was a body magician, it would have been difficult to send it away with one blow, but the body of a pyromancer was at the level of a non-awakened person.
‘This kid is real!’
The bodyguard holding a one-handed hammer kicked the ground.
He brought his hammer down again, aiming for Sega’s temple.
“It’s the same as before. You don’t do this in duel evaluations either.”
Sega smiled confidently and opened up the play.
‘You read it in the meantime?!’
A blue aura glowed in the darkness, and the third bodyguard’s neck fell off.
Crunch.
Sega looked at the giant leader.
“You may not understand what I’m saying, but I still want to say it, so I’ll say it.”
“… … .”
“Tonight is one of the most absurd nights I’ve experienced since I entered school.”
“… … .”
“I’ve only killed one person before I got here. No, it wasn’t a person, so I didn’t kill anyone. But I never dreamed I’d end up killing this many people. I wonder if I’m in my right mind.”
“… … .”
“No. You guys don’t seem to be human either. Okay. Let’s do it that way. That’s better.”
* * *
“How far do I have to go before the phone rings?”
“Just go a little further and you’ll be out of the mountains.”
“If we leave here, it won’t explode. This is the old North Korean mountain. I told you in AH. They built their own radio tower. We have to find it. We have to fix it or something.”
Jinrim, Gyeom, and Dahyun, who had been running for a while, stopped and looked at each other.
“Dahyun, it’s easier said than done. How can you find it in the middle of the night? How many mountain peaks are there now, and how vast is this place?”
“You corpse-man, you’re good at using bio-radar. Can’t you use that?”
“The radio waves themselves are as fast as light, but how far away can you transmit them so densely that you can pinpoint their location? That’s a whole other question. My brain is going to burn out.”
This gentleman waved his hand.
“So it’s a printing problem after all?”
Joo Da-hyun frowned.
“Why? Are you going to squeeze me? I don’t want to die. I’m going to be filial.”
Even in this situation, this gentleman was acting cute.
Joo Da-hyun rolled her eyes and then reached out her hand to Il Jin-rim.
“What, what?”
Iljinrim looked at her, and Joo Dahyun said.
“Painkillers and stimulants. Give me the strongest ones you have. A magic activation potion would also be good.”
“Suddenly, why?”
“It’s a power output issue. If this corpse-man spreads out his bio-radar, I’ll spread it out further with my telekinesis wide-area skill. Once I roughly figure out the location, I can compare it to the paper map and find the place where it’s supposed to be.”
“In that condition, you shouldn’t force yourself.”
Iljinrim said dryly.
She was the one who, after living to survive, finally seized the opportunity to live.
“Sega is left alone. We have to go quickly and help him.”
Joo Da-hyun shook her head.
He was the one who approached her first after losing and losing again.
Yellow eyes and black eyes met in the air.
As always, Iljinrim was the first to avoid eye contact.
“here.”
Lee Kyeom said nothing and prepared his bio radar.
“You drink too. You corpse.”
“Me, me too?”
“I have to do my best. Sega will be doing the same.”
After drinking the potion, Lee Gyeom unfolded his bio-radar.
Chewing!
Brown hair stood on end, yellow electric sparks flew, and invisible electromagnetic waves shot out in all directions.
Joo Da-hyun amplified the waves by resonating them with her telekinesis.
‘I can do it.’
Telekinesis was the power that manipulated the purest magical power, and could be combined with any attribute.
A massive amount of telekinesis followed the electromagnetic waves that stretched into the sky, forming the same wavelength.
“evil!”
Unable to overcome the mounting burden, Lee Hyeom burst into tears, and Joo Da-hyun also shed tears of blood and trembled from the exertion.
“Iljinrim. Map!”
Lee Gyeom shouted urgently, and Jinrim handed him a map and a pen.
Lee Gyeom, who had collected the bio-radar, quickly placed a few dots.
“Here. These are the places.”
“Let’s go. Shoot a flare on the way. We’ll gather the kids and alert the school.”
* * *
“What, what did you say?”
The teacher on duty at the empty school after the children left for the mission evaluation heard a sound like a bolt from the blue.
“The place we came to evaluate the mission just now has foreign hunters breaking in and taking the kids away, causing chaos! Send a helicopter!”
“Please call the Gangwon-gun Commander! Your nephew, son, and future daughter-in-law have all been shot!”
“Hey. Get out of the way. It’s Joo Da-hyun! If you go to any of the first-generation professors and say, ‘I’m a Type A recruiter,’ they’ll understand right away! Go and tell them quickly!”
What the heck is this?
She ran like crazy down the hallway and headed to the lab.
“Oh my. What’s wrong, Sister?”
“I think there’s a problem with the mission evaluation right now. Is the professor still inside?”
“No. They all went out together a few hours ago. Sister Lahari went with them too.”
