“!”
Sega took a step back, startled.
The masked man was looking at Sega through the gap between the two boxes.
But it wasn’t just Sega that was surprised.
“Blue eyes, tall… … That’s it!”
The masked man also looked back at his colleagues and screamed.
“What the f*ck!”
“What should I do?”
The masked men were running around in confusion, swearing.
Sega captured their appearance clearly in his eyes.
‘School uniform?’
They were all wearing Shinseoul uniforms, although it was hard to see them because they were wearing masks and the warehouse lights were not very bright.
There were two female students wearing skirts, three male students wearing trousers, and all five were carrying pistols.
A particularly tall and skinny male student shouted as if he had made up his mind.
“Catch me here! Take control.”
“Oh, I see.”
Sega tried to escape through the door he came in through, but one of the masked schoolgirls opened her mouth wide and spewed out yellow smoke faster than he could.
Phew!
The thick yellow smoke that was spewed out like fire extinguisher powder spread abnormally quickly, and Sega felt his body stiffen in an instant.
‘Poison? Now that I think about it, the yellow poison I drank earlier was paralyzing poison.’
‘What happens if I get caught here? It seemed like you were talking about something very dangerous.’
‘Now I’m at the starting line of my career.’
Sega fell over with the same momentum he had been running with.
thud.
But the moment my knees touched the floor, a warm heat spread from my heart and strength returned to my legs.
‘It’s the detoxification ability of the poison technique. You did well to drink all the poison just now. Thank you, Professor Maeng Do-sol.’
Sega got up from the ground and ran to the door.
“Oh, it doesn’t work?”
The masked schoolgirl, who had just breathed out yellow smoke, gritted her teeth.
“That kid took poisoning class with me today! Basic poisons won’t work. Shoot!”
One of the boys pulled out a gun and started swearing.
Taang!
There was a loud gunshot, and a bullet pierced through a large box and its contents, then struck Sega on the head.
puck!
Sega felt his body shrink reflexively.
‘That kid really shot me!’
I saw the power of the KH series for Daemasu firsthand this morning and clearly saw it for myself.
Luckily, I got a good evaluation in bodybuilding and I studied on my own, but I wasn’t at a level where I could block it with my body right away.
“What’s the situation?”
Iljinrim’s voice was heard from outside the door.
I was wondering if I had heard the gunshot.
“Don’t come! Call the professor or teaching assistant!”
Sega asked Jinrim for rescue instead of help.
“You don’t like it?”
But she opened the warehouse door wide.
A ray of light poured into the warehouse, and Iljinrim, with his blond hair tied back and sunglasses on, smiled arrogantly with his back to the light.
“It’s Iljinrim!”
“That bitch is out of here!”
While the masked students were panicking, Iljinrim quickly pulled out the KH3 automatic pistol from the holster on his waist and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Taang! Tadang! Taaang!
As expected of her who boasted of her 100% accuracy, each pistol held by the masked students was broken with each shot.
“Oh, crazy.”
The masked male student, who had been holding a gun until just a moment ago, let out a sigh as he was now holding only the handle of the gun.
Iljinrim smiled and twirled his gun to show off his style.
“They all seem to be freshmen, and it seems like there’s no one with the ability to stop bullets yet.”
“… … .”
“Hands up, you idiots.”
At that moment, the female student who had made eye contact with Sega for the first time looked back at the tall male student.
“Get out. I’ll take care of things here.”
The tall boy bowed his head and ran out to the back of the warehouse with the other students.
Taang!
Jinrim pulled the trigger toward her shoulder without a moment’s hesitation, but the masked schoolgirl stood firm without being surprised.
Oh my god!
The next moment, the necklace she was wearing glowed blue.
Her hair stood up into the sky.
At the same time, the bullet flying towards her shoulder circled around and pierced Iljinrim’s shoulder.
puck!
Although the power and speed were very low, it was enough to pierce the skin and draw blood.
“What the fuck?”
Jinrim sat down on the floor, laughing in vain.
“Iljinrim!”
Sega reflexively kicked the ground and rushed towards the psychokinesis female student.
‘It’s a hunting device. It’s even a pre-learner.’
It wasn’t an opponent that could be dealt with using proper methods.
But I knew he was a telekinesis, and his gun just broke.
One quick strike would have cut him half to pieces.
Boohoo!
At that moment, the masked schoolgirl waved her hand at Sega.
Four or five rounds of salt-colored marbles flew through the wind.
Most of them missed and just pierced the innocent boxes, but one hit Sega in the side.
Phew!
Sega gritted his teeth and held back a groan.
It was surprisingly bearable.
‘I can hold out. If I didn’t use the power of that necklace, I wouldn’t be able to use the same level of power as before. But I can’t see it, so I can’t block it or dodge it.’
The masked schoolgirl waved her hand again.
‘What should I do?’
* * *
“The situation is!”
The school girl psychic unleashed a mad force, sending the goods in the warehouse flying in all directions.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Large cardboard boxes shattered and rolled across the floor between the steel display cases.
Damn, damn!
Sega ran between the display cases, sometimes rolling on the floor, avoiding attacks from the flamethrowers and weapons inside the boxes.
Wedge!
A terrible sound was heard behind him, and he turned around to see a Teeth Blade inside a cardboard box flying towards him with the intent of piercing through him.
Bam!
I instinctively grabbed the blade and held on.
The strong palm was torn, and red blood flowed out.
“Ugh!”
The sharp tip trembled before his chest.
“Okay. Hang in there.”
The masked schoolgirl tried to shoot the psychic bullet again.
‘It’s only been two days and I’ve almost died several times already… Huh?’
At that moment, Sega felt a light surrounding the Teeth Blade.
I thought I knew what form of telekinesis was holding this sword in.
Thanks to the magic affinity potion I drank earlier in the day, I could feel the magic around me more vividly, and it seemed to be an extension of that.
‘no way.’
He opened his eyes wide and focused his magical power on the area, glaring at the masked female student.
A red light flashed in his blue eyes.
She could vaguely see four clusters of light forming around her, changing into arrow shapes and shooting forward.
Like the afterimage you see when you close your eyes while looking at the sun.
‘Shoulders, stomach, sides, head.’
Sega pushed the Teeth Blade aside.
I immediately lowered my body to avoid the bullets, then ran inside the warehouse in a low posture, almost crawling on the floor.
‘Let’s just ignore it for now.’
“Stand there!”
A masked schoolgirl followed, but was unable to stop Sega, the strongman.
Tadadadada!
Sega took advantage of the gap and approached Iljinrim.
‘I bought some time.’
I even thought about taking out my smartphone and reporting it.
But since it was a dark warehouse, it was obvious that their location would be revealed.
There was no way the police could enter the Shinseoul Hunter Academy, and he didn’t yet know the professors’ personal contact information.
“Jinrim, Jinrim, can you hear me?”
He spoke to Iljinrim in a whispering voice.
Jinrim, who was sitting by the warehouse door, nodded her head very, very slightly.
Nod.
Sega hid behind a display case about ten paces from the warehouse door.
‘I’m sure you’re watching.’
Trying to ignore the half-open door.
“There is a way to win. Give me some deterrent fire.”
Jinrim answered quietly.
“Your right arm won’t go up. That kid is a templar.”
Sega asked, as if asking what was going on.
“You’re ambidextrous, aren’t you?”
“that’s right.”
Jinrim smiled and held the KH3 automatic pistol in his left hand.
“I knew you’d go that way!”
At that moment, the masked female student was lifted more than 4 meters into the air.
She shouted triumphantly and spread out her left palm.
bang!
“Did you think I would let you run away?”
The warehouse door slammed shut, and the salt-coated bullets prepared to fire again.
‘It was as calculated.’
Sega secretly praised itself for not rushing straight in.
I walked through the display cases and looked up at the masked schoolgirl.
“I have no intention of running away.”
Percussion!
He kicked the ground and charged straight ahead.
This time, the masked schoolgirl tried to knock Sega unconscious by directly hitting him in the forehead with a magic bullet.
Taang! Taang! Taang!
At that moment, Iljinrim stood leaning against the metal frame display case and pulled his pistol.
“It’s no use!”
The masked schoolgirl turned her head towards Iljinrim.
Oh my god!
This time, the necklace worn by the masked schoolgirl glowed blue, and the pistol bullets bounced off or returned towards Iljinrim.
Sega took advantage of the gap and ran right in front of the masked female student.
“Did you think I couldn’t aim for two?”
She smiled leisurely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A salt mine was fired at him.
‘Coming.’
Sega flew, watching the halo of light hanging in the air like an afterimage.
‘Right shoulder, then left leg, and then forehead.’
Knock, knock, knock!
All three flame bullets split the air, and Sega kicked off the warehouse floor and leapt forward, throwing a fist.
“away!”
Phew!
It was a blow that combined the strength of a fist that half-pierced the reinforced alloy with the strength of a fist that jumped to the top of a 6-meter-tall pillar in one go.
‘What?! How did you avoid it?’
The masked schoolgirl was startled by the sight of him dodging the blow, and flinched at the punch that seemed like it would crush her at any moment.
I used the power of the necklace once more.
Woohoo!
A blue light flashed, and Sega’s fist clashed with the flame bullet strengthened by the necklace’s power.
Wow-!
A fierce crack rang out, the salt mine shattered into pieces, and Iljinrim did not miss the opportunity.
“no way!”
The masked schoolgirl gritted her teeth as she looked at Iljinrim.
“I’m done.”
Beyond the sunglasses, Iljinrim’s yellow eyes shone coldly.
Taaang!
There was a loud gunshot and blood spurted from the masked schoolgirl’s shoulder.
Bam!
Sega reached out with his left hand and grabbed the masked schoolgirl’s ankle.
“for a moment!”
“If you’re going to say the same thing over and over again, you should have thought twice before pulling out your gun!”
bang!
Sega put strength into his left arm, and the masked schoolgirl was slammed to the warehouse floor.
* * *
“… … In the end, I couldn’t catch it.”
“I didn’t know that in that situation, they would take the store owner hostage.”
Segawa and Jinrim looked at each other with bitter smiles.
The masked schoolgirl took a store employee hostage during the push and flew out the door through which her colleagues had escaped.
Sega ran desperately, but all he could see was the night sky.
Above all, Jinrim could not continue fighting while being shot.
“Ah, my head. Huh? Huh? Huh? Ah… … .”
As soon as the store staff woke up, they deleted all the CCTV footage from the previous hour.
“I’m really grateful and sorry, but could you pretend not to notice this to the other students?”
She bowed towards Segawa Jinrim.
‘why?!’
Sega was speechless and couldn’t say anything.
“You mean I have to go to school with kids who can knock out an Awakened person like my older sister in one go, even with an artifact?”
Iljinrim pressed his shoulder, which was hit by a bullet fragment, and argued.
The store staff bowed their heads repeatedly.
“They are the ones we are already chasing inside Shinseoul. They are just the tail. If rumors spread, the body will hide even deeper.”
“Are we safe?”
“They’re not targeting students. They’re targeting the institution called Shinseoul. If they retaliate against students, public opinion will turn against them, so they’ll never do that.”
She went back into the storeroom for a moment and brought out a fairly large cardboard box.
“This. I can’t really call it a gift, but it’s a box of healing potions and paralysis potions that a senior who graduated last year bought and left over. I’ll put them up in your names, so come and get them whenever you need them.”
Sega tried to ask what he was doing, but Jinrim nodded with a satisfied smile.
“Okay. Take this out first.”
“No, wait a minute.”
Jinrim sat down on a chair on one side of the store as if nothing had happened, took off his uniform jacket, and ripped his shirt.
Sega looked at Jinrim with a bewildered look.
“Sega. Sister. Help me remove the bullet fragments.”
Red blood was flowing out of her tanned skin, which was full of health.
Even though the blood wasn’t flowing out as much thanks to the bloodletting ability, it was still a horrifying sight.
‘Is this it? Is this right? No. No matter what, there is good in this world.’
Sega picked up a potion with a twisted mind.
Jinrim looked at Sega’s blue eyes with his yellow eyes like an owl’s, piercing through them.
“That’s 30 million won per bottle. There were eight bottles in that box, so that’s 240 million won. That’s the amount of money that a person with an annual salary of 50 million won after taxes would have to save for five years without spending a single penny.”
“Is money more important than life?”
“It may not be more important than life, but it’s worth risking your life for. That’s what being a hunter is all about, isn’t it?”
The store employee skillfully extracted the bullet fragments using magnetic tweezers.
“It’ll hurt a little.”
Jinrim drank some of the potion, then sprinkled some on his shoulder.
Chewy!
It didn’t even take 10 seconds for the bubbles to bubble up and new skin to sprout.
Iljinrim hummed softly.
“I thought you would understand better than anyone else?”
“… … .”
Jeong Se-ga bit his lower lip for a moment and then smiled brightly, almost forcibly.
“Yeah. If you use this well, you can use it until the midterms. It’ll be hard to reveal where you got it, but if you do it well, you won’t have to rely on me to heal your wounds. If you get seriously hurt, it’ll be your second life. The school will take care of those guys. You wouldn’t abandon me and you, would you? Ha, hahaha.”
In the one-eyed village, anything with two eyes was considered a monster.
‘I have to take care of my own life. That’s it. Whether it’s class or not.’
He had no intention of becoming a monster.
