Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 99

‘He was a great opponent. If I had only used the martial arts, I would have lost.’
After Sega decapitated the leader of the raiders, he took all the artifacts they had.
‘If I sell everything, I can make a profit with this too. I should buy some higher-grade magic potions.’
I put my backpack back on, which I had thrown far away, and used a paper map and compass to find my bearings, just as I had learned in hunting science.
‘Let’s go down to the AH Pharmaceutical Camp first. They’re also a portrait company that works with hunters, so they probably noticed something strange by now.’
I drank a bottle of recovery potion to heal all my big and small wounds, and used magic absorption to replenish my magic power.
‘Shall we go?’
An hour of running, cutting through bushes and jumping over valleys.
Below, I could see the AH Pharmaceuticals camp that I had left during the day.
‘uh?’
But the atmosphere in the camp was strange.
Scavenger Awakened soldiers wearing night vision goggles patrolled the area as if on guard, while the president of AH Pharmaceuticals spoke to foreigners in an open tent in the center of the camp.
“… … ! … … !”
It was too far away for Sega to hear clearly, but he could tell that they were laughing heartily.
The foreign hunter and the president shook hands eagerly.
‘It was a trap from the beginning?’
Sega gritted his teeth and roughly grasped the situation.
He took off his backpack and reloaded his machine gun.
I wrapped myself in the robe of stealth and descended the slope to the edge of the camp.
At that moment, a foreign hunter answered the phone, his face suddenly distorted and he started muttering something.
The interpreter was heard relaying the foreign hunter’s words to the president.
“That’s a different story. You said we could easily catch them, but now you say most of our children have been hit. The number of deaths is in the three digits, but the number of people caught is in the double digits!”
The boss clicked his tongue as if he knew that would happen.
“As expected, it’s Shinseoul.”
The foreign hunter, who saw that gesture, became enraged before the interpreter could even finish speaking, pulled out a pistol from his waistband, and thrust it into the president’s face.
The president spoke with a blank expression that contrasted with his daytime.
“Shoot.”
“!”
The foreign hunter’s hands shook, and Sega realized that the entire company had been taken over.
The president spoke through an interpreter.
“A promise is a promise, so I will support you with my children. You and I both want to hit Shinseoul. But if you point a gun at my face again, then be prepared to shoot me.”
The foreign hunter put his gun away, and the boss pointed to the containers stacked on one side of the camp.
Knock knock!
As the company’s hunters opened the door, they saw beasts the size of medium-sized cars through the double-lattice bars.
Overall, they were beasts that resembled felines, and they all gave off an ominous magical power.
‘There are also those who can handle electricity. Maybe they can disable the protective vest through natural circuit overheating.’
Sega held his breath as he thought of Joo Da-hyun and Choi Sun-mi.
There might have been real deaths.
‘Fortunately, there aren’t that many of them. If we just attack them properly with the Blue Flame once, we can slowly kill them.’
And then he flew into the camp.
* * *
Jeong Se-ga crossed the camp wearing a hood of secrecy.
I had to cross all the way to the other side, but once I got inside the camp, the tents were lined up so closely together that it wasn’t a big problem.
I quickly left the small crowd inside and went outside to the pile of cardboard boxes.
The lights that were bright as day are gradually getting darker, and now the unawakened have reached a place where they can’t see properly without a flashlight.
And when I approached the container with the demons.
“Stop for a moment.”
Someone called Sega.
Sega slowly looked to the side, ready to swing his Formless Sword at any moment.
A man in his thirties, with black hair slicked back with pomade and wearing a striped suit, was sitting on a large box, smoking a cigarette.
“How about we talk face to face?”
He seemed to be mindful of Jang Kwon-se, the professor of lightning techniques at Shinseoul, as he was wearing a large gold ring and showing off his leisurely manners.
“I already noticed because you laid a mat on the floor. Why don’t you show me?”
“… … !”
Sega glanced at the floor, feeling his lack of experience.
I could clearly see black iron filings moving slowly among the grass on the ground.
“Well. If you really don’t like it, then don’t.”
The suit’s electrician tried to press the radio button.
‘With telekinesis!’
Sega tried to destroy the radio, but a white beam of light flew in before him.
Flash!
The lightning wizard in the suit turned into a pillar of salt and crumbled down piece by piece as he tried to press the radio button.
“Angel Hee?”
Sega looked around in surprise.
“Oh my god? You recognized me right away.”
She was sitting on the container next to me.
Under the night sky with a crescent moon, elegant and voluminous white hair flutters, and long legs in white stockings playfully swing up and down like children at the water’s edge.
“I didn’t know you would come out to meet me.”
A pair of blazing orange eyes followed him, still wearing the hood of his cloak, with a mischievous grin.
Sega first revealed himself by taking off his hood, and hid behind a container with Cheon Sa-hee.
“What is the situation now?”
“Hmm. I’m not an encyclopedia. It’s fine if you expect me to know everything, but I hope you don’t pry me into things like I’m some kind of villain.”
It was a sound that completely relieved the tension.
Sega asked, feeling his head throbbing slightly.
“Then you don’t know either?”
“Of course I know. What do you think of me?”
She said with a bright smile.
Sega was speechless and closed his mouth, and Cheon Sa-hee smiled as if she liked that expression.
“AH, the restrictions have been completely lifted. You know about Cheon Shin Hwagyo, right? If you didn’t know, I just leaked a top secret.”
“I heard the story about the second generation directly from Professor Lee Na.”
She raised her finger as if relieved by Sega’s words.
“Ah. Okay. That’s good. Anyway, that’s true. I trusted the company because it was a company I had been dealing with for a long time, but Cheon Shin Hwagyo took over the entire company.”
“……oh my god.”
“I was going to watch because with 600 first-year students from Shinseoul, they could pull off a coup d’état. But Geum Eun-yo told me to stop whining and go to work if I didn’t want to get spanked, so I flew here on this precious Friday night. I was going to turn all of those kids into pillars of salt if they forgot what they learned and cried like a bunch of beggars. It feels good to see you doing well on your own. I especially like how you came to greet me. I give you 10 points.”
It was a comment that I couldn’t tell if it was a joke or serious.
“Isn’t that too harsh?”
Sega said with a bitter smile, and Cheon Sahee’s face hardened like ice.
“Who do you think is paying for the upkeep of that school? I am a student, but I am also an investor. At least I want to see you put what you have learned to good use. I like you for that.”
And then, in an instant, she smiled like a fox again, made a clapping motion and pointed at the containers.
“From now on, I plan to turn all of these demons into angel-branded sea salt. When I spread my wings, the light will attract attention. Can I at least provide some protection? I think you were kind to Joo Da-hyun?”
Sega nodded, holding the submachine gun and drawing his sword.
“of course.”
* * *
“Okay. Then please do it right now.”
The foreign hunter spoke to the president through an interpreter.
The president nodded and gestured to one of the company’s hunters standing next to him.
He, a Druid or Tamer, a specialist in the psychic ability of animals and beasts, led the foreign hunters toward the container.
“You will be satisfied. They are the best-adapted predators from the monster lands of the North, trained and tamed.”
“I sincerely hope so.”
The tamer manipulated the panel to open the first of the double doors.
Crunch.
The plastic plate opened and a thick lattice door made of alloy was revealed.
But there wasn’t a single living demon inside the grid.
There was only a mountain of white powder like snow.
“what’s this?”
“What are those white grains?”
The foreign hunter frowned as he picked up a grain and ate it.
“salt?”
The Tamer Hunter muttered in confusion, his face turning pale.
“T-This can’t be happening? It was definitely like this just a moment ago.”
“Hey! hey! hey! What the fuck!”
The foreign hunters all hurled curses at each other.
‘What the fuck?’
Sega stood in front of them wearing his stealth hood, firing his submachine gun left and right.
‘That’s what I wanted to say.’
It was a shot aimed exactly at the height of the face, avoiding the plate surrounding the body.
Doo doo doo doo doo-!
The physically weak elementalist fell without even being able to scream, and the strong-body magician also flinched in bewilderment at the sudden attack.
“What the fuck!”
“Ahhhhh! Aah!”
“Shit!”
One of the foreign hunters frowned and looked in the direction the bullet had come from without even bothering to cover his face.
He was a strongman who deflected bullets from a KH2 submachine gun without a problem.
“What are they?”
It was a language I didn’t know, but I could understand it.
Sega revealed himself, throwing off his hood of hiding.
“The situation.”
A boy wearing a Shinseoul school uniform appeared under the starry night sky.
Her red eyes were too creepy to be described as beautiful, and her smile was too relaxed to be described as scary.
Hurrruk!
As he twirled his sword, the blue energy burned brightly.
“This is the situation in New Seoul.”
The bodybuilder’s face hardened.
Sega kicked the ground like the wind, sending blue electric sparks flying from his legs.
Tsukaaaaak-!
A dizzyingly stretched blue line illuminated the darkness of the night for a moment, and the head of the bodybuilder flew into the sky.
“Good.”
At that moment, Cheon Sa-hee appeared on top of the container box.
A contemptuous smile spread across his face, and his eyes, like burning coals, illuminated the AH Pharmaceutical hunters gathered at the camp.
“After betraying humanity, betraying my country, and betraying my comrades.”
Choaack!
Behind her back, four white wings spread out, shining dryly.
“It is so sad that we can save so many social evils that have even betrayed themselves.”
“Hey, Cheon Sa-hee!”
The hunters who recognized her glared.
Phew!
The next moment her wings flared up brilliantly.
Dozens of AH Pharmaceuticals hunters were hit by a white beam of light and collapsed into pillars of salt.
“Hey, profit!”
The scavenger hunters were so overwhelmed by the force that they couldn’t even think of firing their guns and ran into the forest or lay down on the ground.
The good-looking president of AH Pharmaceuticals looked up at Cheon Sa-hee and clenched his fists.
“you!”
Cheon Sa-hee narrowed her eyes at him and called his real name.
“Lee Seo-ro. International first-class terrorist. Bounty of 3 billion.”
“!”
For a moment a convulsion crossed his face.
“A 2nd generation S-class Earth Sorcerer. A 2nd generation Seonggol who participated in the defense of World War I, the 2nd Gangwon-do evacuation operation, and the 1st Northeast Asia scattered gate appearance incident. A ‘hero’ who also participated in the defense of Paris and the Berlin recapture operation.”
She gave another mocking laugh.
“… … was it.”
His face suddenly distorted at that sentence, which was clearly in the past tense.
“Why did you betray us?”
President Lee Seo-ro’s clenched fists trembled.
“You were the ones who betrayed us first. You tortured us to the core and then threw us away like old shoes.”
He looked at the situation and spoke in an angry tone.
“Don’t trust that girl and Shinseoul either. Your third generation could end up like us at any time. Stimulants are drugs that turn people into devils!”
Even though the gap was large even within the S-class, he was still an S-class hunter like the professors.
In addition, he heard about the side effects of stimulants that he had also seen.
Sega’s face hardened.
That too for a moment.
Sega took a deep breath and then pointed his finger at Lee Seo-ro.
For a moment, Lee Seo-ro smiled bitterly and Cheon Sa-hee smiled happily.
AH Pharmaceutical’s hunters all began to mutate into demons.
“under.”
Sega estimated its size, then turned the submachine gun behind his back and muttered.
“You guys are the ones who are trying to destroy the house.”
