Chapter 739 – 739. Savior of the Academy
739. Savior of the academy
“Cut! Cut! Cut! Sex actor! It’s a very famous performance! Great acting!”
Makina flew in and made a fuss about her.
I got up and brushed the dust off my body. Full recovery was saved for now. Another attacker might come later.
“Did I get it right?”
“I filmed with three cameras at the same time! Wanna see? Your face came out well, and the pitifulness of those crappy people was also captured well. Should I post it on New Tube? Even if I can’t do it, I will easily surpass 1 million views!”
Excited and fascinated by New Tube these days, Makina sent her video to my smartphone. As Makina said, it was shot very well. Voice is heard well without noise.
“Machina. Can you edit this? To make me look like a more desperate victim.”
“Of course. That kind of work is a piece of cake! But you don’t intend to hire a high-class manpower like me for free, do you?”
“What do you want from the subject who lives in our house?”
“Jeong Ryeong-ok! Give me the spirit jade! You haven’t given me too much lately!”
“That is precious. I can’t give you just editing a video. I will give it to you when the time is right, so do it normally.”
“Ugh….”
A disgruntled gaze turns to me. As I stared, Makina turned her head. Having been with me for several years, Makina knew how damn good my personality was. And I can’t even get it to me by contract.
“All that’s left now is the aftermath.”
There are a lot of corpses around. He died of electrocution, so it was unpolluted and quiet. I don’t know again after time passes.
Connecting with the police is a bad idea. It was caused by a battle between the Awakeners. The police aren’t much help. If you ask Han So-hee, it will be neatly organized. However, Seong Ha-ri may find out about this through Han So-hee.
‘If Seongha-ri finds out, she will go wild in anger. The picture I want may not come out. Rather….’
The call rings. Exactly at the start of the 5th call tone, the other party answered the call.
“…… As I said beforehand, I’m busy. I don’t have time to have dinner with you.”
The academy dean, Kang Ji-young, said firmly. Recently, she persistently asked for dinner to win her favor.
“Aunt. Not today….”
“Don’t call me aunt, call me dean. You are now an academy student. Don’t forget that fact.”
“It’s not even business hours right now.”
“… It’s a theory, so it’s hard to refute. What is the purpose of the phone?”
“I was attacked by a group of villains called Mebius.”
“…… Where are you? Have you contacted Seong Ha-ri?”
“I didn’t do that to my mother. You know her mommy personality won’t get over it. My aunt was the first to contact me.”
“… Good job. That she contacted me first… Do you want it not to be publicized?”
“Right.”
“I get it.”
The reason Kang Ji-young actively helps me is because of the parents’ association. The parent association can use this as an excuse to exercise authority and expand its influence. In particular, Seongha-ri must be extreme.
“I need to know the general situation, so tell me over the phone.”
She couldn’t be completely honest, so she mixed a lie with the moneylender. Since it is an artful lie, even if Kang Ji-young investigates separately, she will find it difficult to uncover the truth. No, as long as I have already been attacked by a group of villains, the cause is not important.
“I never thought I would have an accident as soon as I entered school…. Where do genes go? I’m already afraid of what kind of accident I might have in the future.”
“It wasn’t me who attacked first, it was Mebius or something.”
“Is there any evidence?”
“I have solid evidence. Even if Korea doesn’t turn upside down, it’s a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of
I picked up my smartphone and smiled pleasantly.
•••
A week has passed.
In the meantime, whenever I had time, I was going around getting rid of the bonds under the Hero League. Rumors spread about me in the bond market. Since I did not touch any loans not related to the heroic league, most of the loan sharks did not interfere with me and cheered me on without realizing it. From their point of view, they are reducing annoying competitors.
Cache load.
This was my goal today. It was an incredibly large office, occupying an entire five-story building in Gangwon-do.
As always, I kicked the door open and went inside.
I thought the staff would look at me and reflexively greet me, but the scene inside was beyond my expectations.
There were armed men in place of the staff. With about 10 people, they occupy a difficult position to deal with.
It’s the Mebius that attacked me a week ago, or it’s a different quality from the goofy gossips. All of them are professionally trained. The individual’s level is estimated to be E-D. If I attack at once, I cannot easily guarantee victory.
“You are here. I was waiting.”
A man walked out of the center. He was about the same height as me, but his body was very thin. The word knuckle comes to mind.
Standing fearlessly in front of me within arm’s reach, the man arrogantly raised his rimmed glasses.
“Hello. Student Yujin Sung. I’m not happy, but I have to say I’m glad.”
“What are you again?”
“I am Shin Jong-cheol from above. My title is section manager, so please call me section manager Shin.”
“Come from above….”
“Yes. The stomach moved as Yujin Sung wished.”
There is no doubt that Shin Jong-cheol’s stomach is heroic. I deliberately do not mention the hero’s name. Hero Ryun wants to solve this matter as quietly as possible.
“We are a hunter unit specializing in processing.”
“It’s a hound, not a hunter.”
“Yes, well, it is also called that. Originally, he would have aimed right at Sung Yu-jin’s back. But like this, I stepped forward and even exchanged greetings with Yujin Sung. Do you know what this means?”
“You want it to end well.”
“Yes. Good. Good. As for the top, I don’t want to cause trouble with student Sung Yujin. I judged that there was no benefit from the friction with Sung Yu-jin, only loss. I want to compromise with Seong Yu-jin before I suffer further losses.”
“The atmosphere is not an atmosphere to compromise, isn’t it?”
Those around are holding weapons, but restraining their momentum. However, both eyes are brutal. If things go awry, they will immediately jump at me and kill me.
“I am not an Awoken. They’re protecting my comfort. And… When things go wrong, you have to deal with them.”
Shin Jong-cheol smiled at me. It was a threat to kill me here if the negotiations went wrong. I also looked at him and smiled.
“Student Yujin Sung. What do you want? Looking at his whereabouts, it didn’t seem like money. Well, since you’re a gold spoon, of course you don’t need money. Do you have someone up there with a grudge? I will give it to you according to who you are.”
“It comes out like that. Well, if you can speak, I’m comfortable too. Seonggu Park. Give him up.”
“…… Well. Is that the Park Seong-gu I know?”
“That’s right.”
Shin Jong-cheol’s face hardened. As his laughter faded, his expression sharpened. It is the face of a brutal and unreasonable murderer.
“Crazy bastard. A kid treats you kindly, so you know no bounds. Do you know who he is?”
Seonggu Park.
He is the head of the Hero League Gangwon-do branch. He is one of the five most powerful people in the Hero League.
“You know, so tell me your name.”
“He is not a person you can meet because you want to meet him. Cheeky. Take care of you here… Big?!”
He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Shin Jong-cheol’s neck. My nails dig into his neck and his blood oozes out.
“I was annoyed earlier…. Did you think you were A and I was E? Hero Ryun sent this guy to me.”
“Gagging! Wow! Turn it off!”
Shin Jong-cheol struggles. He hits my right hand with his arm and kicks me with his foot. He twisted Shin Jong-cheol’s arm with his left hand and broke it.
“…… !!”
Shin Jong-cheol’s body loses strength, and his eyes go up. I relaxed Shin Jong-cheol’s right hand before he died. Shin Jong-cheol faints and falls to the floor helplessly.
Immediately after, a man appeared behind me. He quietly and swiftly swings his kukri in his hand. What I’m aiming for is my back neck.
‘In an instant.’
The world slows down I spun him around and grabbed him by the wrist and took the kukri away. Both of his eyes widened. But it’s also a little confusing. He soon tried to distance himself from me.
‘It’s slower than Ryuhana.’
Squeak.
His throat was cut and his head rolled on the floor.
Enemies moved simultaneously.
‘Mocha.’
“Kwuuuuu!”
Moka, who was summoned, materialized and scattered her thunderbolts all over her at the same time. The legs of the enemies who rushed towards me startled. I didn’t miss the chance and swung my kukri at the nearest ones. The blade of the kukri shimmered with blue black air.
“Swordsman… ! He’s at least D-class or higher. Respond carefully!”
“Activate the barrier!”
The man at the back, the furthest away from me, uses a barrier.
My body became more than 10 times heavier. The legs do not move easily. Mocha, who was flying around the building and scattering lightning, fell to the floor and couldn’t move, probably feeling more pressure than me.
‘This barrier. Not normal. It’s prepared to kill me for sure.’
Enemies are approaching. Their steps are light.
“You’re not at the level of a student who just entered the academy.”
“Anyway, this is what it ends up being like. After all, the middle temperature barrier is amazing.”
“There is no time for small talk. Deal with it quickly You should know how much money is spent maintaining this barrier.”
“Yep, boss.”
Enemies are approaching.
‘Heaven.’
Activate the skill.
All the pressure that weighed down my body was gone. My body became lighter.
Yeongcheon Stream Thunderstorm.
A blade embracing lightning cuts through enemies. I didn’t stop there. One minute that the spirit of heaven lasts. My physical abilities have gone up. It caused a thunderbolt and made it more violent than before.
“… Shit. This mission was the worst.”
The captain of the last enemies I killed rushed at me knowing he was going to die. I cut his body cleanly.
“…….”
After the battle, I took a breath and approached Shin Jong-cheol, who was still lying on the floor.
“Don’t pretend to faint. Because I know what just happened.”
“… Please save me.”
“I will give you to live. I have to tell you what you are talking about, and you have to clean up the mess here.”
“Quaaaaagh!”
He swung the kukri and cut Shin Jong-cheol’s limbs off. By using point blood and potions, Shin Jong-cheol was careful not to die.
“I look forward to when Park Seong-gu will contact me.”
『Karma: Goodness increases by 1.』
Killing the bad guys raised karma.
“Honey.”
•••
That evening, Park Seong-gu got a call.
It was about meeting in person at the Gangwon-do branch office of the Hero League. I didn’t even think of it as a trap. He formally invited me.
“Come on. I am Park Seong-gu.”
Park Seong-gu was a handsome middle-aged man. He looks like an impressive uncle, but his real personality is cold and ruthless. Otherwise, he would not have been able to rise to the position of head of the Hero League branch.
“This is Seong Eugene.”
Sat across from him.
“Do you like coffee?”
“Seeing earlier, there was bokbunja juice. Either that or give it to me.”
“I will.”
Park Seong-gu’s secretary served coffee and raspberry juice. I swallowed a mouthful of sweet raspberry juice.
“I heard the story from Chief Shin. He picked me up and said I don’t have time, so I’ll ask straight forward. What do you want?”
“Will you listen to me if I tell you what I want? Aren’t you trying to kill me like today?”
“That’s Chief Shin’s dogma. We didn’t give any orders to Shin.”
A smile came out at the obvious lie. Shin Jong-cheol mentioned the above. Shin Jong-cheol, who was nothing more than a hunting dog in the first place, is not one to move without orders.
“What happened to him?”
“Chief Shin is dead. He had an accident and his limbs were cut off and he died of excessive blood loss.”
I treated Shin Jong-cheol with points and potions. Excessive bleeding? From the moment I gave first aid, it was nonsense. Shin Jong-cheol was disposed of by Hero-ryeon.
“You touched the planting of Hero Ryun gently. If he had a vendetta against the heroic chain, he would have taken a different approach. You wanted to contact me from the beginning.”
“Do you really think so? If I wanted to meet you from the beginning, I think I could.”
“Even if we met like that, it would have ended with a meaningless conversation. I can’t see you like now. I’ll ask again. What do you want?”
“I will ask the opposite. How far can you go for heroism?”
