Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 22
Only Krnovel
(022)
At the Shinseoul Hunter Academy, danger abounds both during regular classes and in everyday life.
“You dare try to take my child away? I’m going crazy because I want to get my balls cut off.”
“Can you advise me to come to a better group? Won’t you put the knife in? Split my head open?”
“Students! All of you, please lie down with your hands above your heads.”
In the first class yesterday afternoon, all classes began preparing for their comprehensive hunting studies group projects.
There were emotional conflicts along the way.
The hunter’s emotions were power.
“Don’t breathe, you oxygen-poor little shit!”
Salt rounds were fired, flames were set ablaze, and security guards fired paralyzing gas grenades.
‘Maybe yesterday was just a joke?’
This was the thought that Sega had while watching the children of small and medium-sized guild leaders clashing with knives.
Even in the midst of all this, Class 1 maintained some sort of order and balance.
“My class is pretty quiet. The other class is really chaotic. I don’t know why.”
“I guess the competition for the upper and middle ranks is really fierce over there. Money, swords, oh my. It’s all crazy. Are we really hunters who catch the devil? It seems like we catch people before we catch the devil.”
“They gave us an hour to plan the team. So we analyzed it thoroughly and pursued the best team. If the plan went wrong, the backlash would have been much stronger.”
Sega smiled secretly with satisfaction as he watched the group he had made yesterday gather together and chat.
‘But there are also some aspects that are typical of our peers.’
My heart felt warm.
Knock knock.
The classroom door just opened and Iljinrim came in.
Today, too, she looked cool with her blonde hair tied up low and wearing sunglasses.
“Jinrim! Are you here?”
The man sitting next to him waved his hand wildly, and Jinrim responded by slightly raising his chin, then sat down behind Sega.
“When Dahyun comes, we’ll talk again.”
Jinrim opened her bag and showed the things she bought yesterday.
“First of all, I bought a grenade launcher.”
Kyeom smiled brightly and nodded.
“I also contacted them and got some smoke grenades. Most of the ones in Seoul are for signaling. Smoke grenades are different for signaling and for concealment. But the ones I got are, of course, real smoke grenades. Hahaha.”
Sega was debating whether or not to mention that he had started seeing glimpses of psychokinesis since yesterday, but decided not to.
‘It’s true that my senses have become more sensitive, but it could also be due to the potion’s effects. I can’t use techniques that aren’t even perfect yet for operations. I’ll just hone them on my own for now.’
When Kyeom was talking to Jinrim, Jinrim turned around as if he was not interested.
Knock knock.
The door opened again and this time Dahyun came in.
Hair partially dyed crimson, eyes heavily made up as if they had just cried, and Mary Jane shoes.
Silence fell over Class 1 for a moment, perhaps because of the cute yet strangely creepy sight.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Sega broke the silence and said hello.
“Good morning. Dahyun.”
“… … .”
Dahyun sat in the front seat of Sega without answering.
Sega briefly considered whether he should tell Kyeom and Dahyun about what happened yesterday.
‘They saw me and Jinrim clearly. I’m from Class 1, and all the first-years probably know that. The cafeteria lady said they wouldn’t bother the students, but if our group becomes a target, it’ll be difficult and I feel sorry for them.’
Just when I was thinking that I should consult with Jinrim, Gyeom cleared his throat and gathered everyone’s attention.
“Does everyone know what class is today?”
“class?”
When I opened the schedule, there were four classes, each lasting two hours.
Today, I would have taken all of Shinseoul’s classes at least once.
“Lightning, Bloodletting, Flame, and Swordsmanship. All four are incredibly important classes. If psychic is the omnipotent one and body-building is the shield, then these four can be called spears.”
“hmm.”
“Jinrim and Dahyun already have clear aptitudes, so it doesn’t really matter, but Sega, you, and I should find more aptitudes today. A bodyguard who can use other supernatural abilities is a hundred times better than an ordinary bodyguard. The best of the four is the swordsmanship of the sword, but I’m satisfied with whatever I get.”
“That’s right.”
“If you practice enough for ten days, you’ll be able to use it in real situations, so it’s also very important for this performance evaluation. It’s no exaggeration to say that it determines whether you’re successful or get an A+.”
“I need to concentrate.”
Sega felt a cold sweat running down his face again.
‘I hope I have the aptitude for at least one of them.’
* * *
The electric martial arts classes were held in a large gymnasium similar to the bodybuilding classes, with two classes taking place simultaneously.
60 students in each class 1 and 12.
A total of 120 students lined up in 12 rows below the stage and waited for the professor.
Oddly enough, the professor and teaching assistant did not show up until 59 minutes into the class, with only one minute left.
“He’s not coming.”
Moo-hyun Jun muttered anxiously while looking at his wristwatch.
The moment when the second hand points to exactly 59 minutes and 50 seconds.
Flash!
It seemed as if a blue bolt of lightning had struck outside the open gymnasium door, and in an instant it flew up onto the stage.
bang!
“Eww!”
The students in the front row screamed and fell over.
The students in the back row were raising their portrait skills while shouting.
Suddenly, a large man standing on the stage opened his mouth.
“Um. Who is the class president of this class?”
In class 1, Moo-Hyun-Jun raised his hand, and in class 12, a boy with a similar feeling raised his hand.
“Introduce yourself.”
Moo-hyun Jun looked around awkwardly and then stamped his heel on the ground and shouted.
“Attention. Greetings to the professor!”
“””hello.”””
Two classes of 120 students bowed their heads simultaneously.
The professor standing on the podium nodded with satisfaction.
“Um. My name is Jang Kwon-se, the professor in charge of lightning tactics.”
He was a man of about 2 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a sturdy appearance.
His black hair was neatly combed back with pomade, he had a dignified impression reminiscent of a ‘boss’, and he wore a two-button suit with a blue check pattern.
He wore a large gold watch and a gold ring, and it seemed as if he had kilograms of gold wrapped around his body.
Seeing that, Sega unconsciously thought of the word gang leader, Gyeom and Jinrim swallowed their saliva, and Dahyun slightly lowered her eyes.
“Hmm. I hope that we will always live faithfully like the magnetic field of the Earth beneath our feet, and that we will remember clearly like the lightning striking from above our heads. With that in mind, I will begin this class.”
But he began his lessons with a polite voice and attitude that did not match his appearance.
“Hmm. Lightning is the science of converting our magical power into electromagnetic force. It’s hard to learn, but it’s the fastest and can deal with both the strong minority and the weak majority.”
The explanation wasn’t fancy, but it was easy on the ears.
“The Lightning Wizard can shoot electromagnetic waves to pinpoint the location of his enemies, manipulate metal with magnetism to protect himself, and blast away enemies with lightning or strike them with lightning. Hmm. It’s as versatile as telekinesis, and as strong as body magic.”
There was confidence and pride in the voice that spoke of the merits of the major.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re not talented in lightning, and can only handle a little bit of electricity. Well, this ability is also excellent as an auxiliary. As I said, you can detect the location of your enemy with electromagnetic waves, and you can also help them move by passing a small amount of electricity through their muscles. It’s a technique that’s absolutely necessary for elementalists or telekinesis who are weak in body.”
Even students who were judged to have no talent for lightning were given their own goals.
“wow!”
“You are amazing.”
“I wish I had talent here.”
The eyes of both boys and girls were filled with admiration.
Jang Kwon-se smiled gently and spoke to his assistants.
“Okay. Prepare some artifacts for practice.”
“Yes, Professor.”
Compared to other professors who gave directions with nods, hand gestures, or even eye contact, this was dozens of times more gentlemanly.
The assistants came running out and took out something like black knuckles from a large box.
“From now on, we will divide the class into groups and conduct classes separately.”
“Students who have awakened as lightning magicians when they are hit with the stimulant, please gather on the right, and other students, please gather on the left.”
“Regular students will practice converting magical power into electromagnetic force today, and Electromancer students will practice long-range radiation.”
* * *
A handful of the 120 awakened lightning magician students fell to the right.
Most of the students gathered on the left and received black knuckles.
While I was at a loss as to what to do with this, the senior assistant began to explain.
“That knuckle is an artifact made from the scales of a named demon known as the ‘Ironclad Brain Dragon.’ The moment you put it on, it changes magical power into bioelectricity.”
“Since this is your first time using lightning, your magical power won’t completely change into electricity. Don’t try to force the lightning out, but let it naturally stay in your body. You’ll feel your whole body overflowing with power.”
The senior teaching assistant motioned to the other teaching assistants, and the students were grouped into makeshift groups of about fifteen, with one teaching assistant assigned to each group.
“Listen carefully to what each group’s teaching assistants say and learn.”
Then, he lightly turned up the current and wrapped it around his entire body, then jumped from the front row to the back row, a distance of at least 90 meters, in one breath.
Percussion!
Even by the standards of a bodybuilder, it was a great leap.
“For your information, I am not a body magician. The strength I just gained was solely from lightning magic.”
The senior assistant said a word and ran back up to the stage.
Enthusiasm once again bloomed in the students’ eyes.
“I will definitely succeed.”
The response from physically weak psychic or elementalist students was particularly positive.
“Okay. Now, I’m going to put on this knuckle. The magic power will be sucked out right away, so don’t be too surprised, and be careful not to touch the students around you.”
The teaching assistant began to explain.
Sega was anxious as he looked around.
‘I fell alone.’
While I was moving around, I got separated from Group 8 and started attending classes.
In addition, the temporary group right next door was full of Kang Joo-hyuk and his faction, and most of the students in this temporary group, except for Choi Seon-mi, who had short hair, were students from Class 12 who were meeting him for the first time.
The burden became a hundredfold greater as they looked at me and started to say, ‘This is the situation, this is the situation.’
“wearing!”
The teaching assistant spoke, and the students all put on their artifact knuckles.
Scratch, scratch!
“Huh?”
“It’s possible!”
“Me, I can’t do it?”
Small bursts of blue, white, and yellow electricity shot across the knuckles of the surrounding students.
Crackle! Crackle!
If you have a little talent, you can even generate electric currents more powerful than those of an electric shock device.
“and!”
“As expected from Kang Joo-hyuk!”
Kang Joo-hyuk, from the group next door, unleashed a powerful electric shock that illuminated the surrounding area.
The teaching assistant was so worried that the students around him might get hurt that he had to pull them aside.
‘please.’
Sega put Knuckles on him, hoping he would have a talent for lightning.
hook!
And he shuddered at the feeling of something grabbing his wrist hard.
It was similar to when I used up all my mental power while practicing telekinesis.
A large amount of horsepower was instantly converted into electricity.
‘Huh? I think something big is going on?’
Instinct signaled a crisis.
Fire, fire! Fire!
A blue current ran from my elbow to my wrist, and from my wrist to my knuckles.
Dozens of electric currents formed on the black knuckles, shining brightly.
“Ha, student!”
The temporary assistant, at a loss, reflexively raised Sega’s hand toward the sky.
Phage, phage, phage!
A blue bolt of electricity shot into the sky, running along the steel frame of the gymnasium’s ceiling in all directions.
Blink, blink!
All the lights in the gym flickered off and on several times.
There were also several lights that died out completely, with sparks flying.
“Whoa!”
“what?”
While students screamed everywhere.
The assistant glared and expressed his anger.
“Student! Didn’t you hear the instructions earlier? I told you to go to the right when you awaken as an electric wizard! How old are you now? You can’t even tell right from left?”
