Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 28



Only Krnovel

(028)

The students changed into artifact gym uniforms that showed the magical power of the martial arts in advance and waited, looking at each other and whispering.

“Jeong Se-ga and Kang Joo-hyuk, don’t you think the magic color has become darker than on Monday?”

“That’s crazy. That’s talent.”

Jeong Se-ga heard the whispering with his enhanced hearing and inwardly agreed.

‘The vaporization magic field is truly amazing. Or is it Shinseoul that drives people crazy?’

Even though only three days had passed, the students showed a clear difference.

Iljinrim’s magical power also became much more stable, and the white light that used to shake around Lee Gyeom’s pelvis rose up to his waist, and even Choi Seonmi’s magical power area that was fluttering widened significantly.

“Is everyone here?”

Today, Kang Chae-seo entered the gym again wearing a baggy suit and with a shaky gait.

“Yes, Professor!”

The students all bowed their heads, and Kang Chae-seo immediately turned around and shouted.

“Attendance is mandatory! 10 laps around the gym and sing the school song!”

“yes yes?”

“School song?”

“Ten laps? This is four times larger than a soccer field.”

While the students were hesitating, Kang Chae-seo turned around and started running.

“As an awakened person, I have a lot to do after entering school!”

At the same time, the school song flowed out from the speakers on the ceiling at an appropriate volume, and Kang Chae-seo shouted again.

“Any student who doesn’t touch my back even once will have to do ten extra laps of the gym!”

“””yes!?”””

Sparks flew into the eyes of the 60 students in Class 1.

“This is crazy!”

The situation was like a small demon came down from the mountain and ran, and when Kang Joo-hyuk saw it, he stepped on the ground and kicked it.

“Huh?”

The teaching assistants monitored the students to make sure they did not leave the gym perimeter, while also staying in groups to help them get into position.

“Student Seonmi. Raise your head and put strength into your stomach!”

“Dahyun, stand up! You can do it. Just don’t use telekinesis!”

The group split up before even one lap was completed.

“Eww!”

“I’m going to die!”

The lowest group of awakened psychokinesis and elementalist magicians, including Joo Da-hyun.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Never give up!”

A mid-lower level group of low-level bodybuilders, with Choi Seon-mi barely hanging on.

“let’s go!”

“Professor, I’ll see you on the back!”

A mid- to upper-level group of students who are good at physical education, such as Iljinrim.

“Kuaaaah!”

“Woooooo!”

And the top group consisting of awakened body magicians represented by Jeong Se-ga and Kang Ju-hyeok.

This is the most deadly of these.

‘It seems like I can catch it, but I can’t catch it.’

‘The situation is this guy. In the meantime, I was able to use the Rigid Technique so stably!’

It was the top group running along Kang Chae-seo’s back.

Doo doo doo doo!

They had already completed their sixth lap around the gym at a speed comparable to that of a motorcycle, but Kang Chae-seo’s back simply would not give up the hem of her clothes.

“profit!”

“Ugh!”

The fingertips that Jeong Se-ga swung cut through the air, and Kang Joo-hyuk, who had charged forward with all his might, was almost thrown back into the wall.

Whirl, whirl!

A black striped suit was fluttering precariously in front of me, but I couldn’t even touch it with my fingertips.

Kang Chae-seo shouted so loudly that the entire gymnasium echoed.

“Calling attendance. Kang Joo-hyuk!”

“yes!”

Kang Joo-hyuk spat out his words at the top of his lungs, and at that moment, his feet slowed down slightly and he almost got pushed behind Jeong Se-ga.

Swish.

Kang Chae-seo glanced back and closed the gap so that Kang Joo-hyuk could catch up, but not enough so that Jeong Se-ga could not completely overtake him.

Looking at that scene, Jeong Se-ga thought.

‘It’s not a good analogy, but it’s like when you make drug dealers in a slum organization compete against each other. You make them compete until the end and make them perform beyond their limits.’

Kang Joo-hyuk also thought while looking at that scene.

‘There is only one way out of this competition, and that is to beat your opponent for sure.’

For a moment, blue and yellow sparks flashed in the eyes of the two boys.

“The situation is!”

“Kang Joo-hyuk!”

Kang Joo-hyuk ducked down like a charging bull dragon and kicked the gym floor.

earth!

His large body shot out with a loud noise, and in an instant, he overtook Jeong Se-ga.

The tip of his hand was about to touch Kang Chae-seo’s back. Kang Chae-seo lightly turned her body in the corner course, and Kang Joo-hyuk, unable to overcome inertia, ran forward.

The moment the situation changed, he accelerated to the max and caught up with them, while using bio-current amplification in the air.

Phage crackle!

Sega, who had overcome inertia and turned around, kicked the ground again and stuck close to Kang Chae-seo’s back.

earth!

“The situation is!”

Kang Joo-hyuk jumped again, and Jeong Se-ga bit his lower lip and put strength into his stomach and thighs.

‘Me too, momentarily!’

The light from the upper body of Ilsun Jeongse Ga’s body slightly shimmered and flowed down to his lower body.

The white pattern on his artifact gym pants rippled, and his body accelerated amazingly.

Percussion!

Finally, Jeong Se-ga’s fingertips touched Kang Chae-seo’s back.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“shit!”

Kang Joo-hyuk’s fingertips also touched it a little late.

“Good job. Take a rest!”

Kang Chae-seo glanced at the two and spoke, and the two of them walked towards the bench on one side, shuffling like twins.

After that, no student touched Kang Chae-seo’s back, and they all ended up doing twenty laps around the gym.

The assistant came up to the two who were out of breath and said.

“Both are great. It usually takes two semesters for a student to successfully reach the professor’s back using only bodywork.”

At that moment, Kang Joo-hyuk narrowed his eyes and Jeong Se-ga frowned.

‘It’s done.’

He used his lightning-quick bio-current amplification when cornering.

‘You’ll tell me right away, right?’

But contrary to expectations, Kang Joo-hyuk remained silent and stood up, heading towards the crow.

* * *

As the other students were slowly completing their twenty laps and heading towards the wooden statue, Kang Chae-seo approached Jeong Se-ga.

Jeong Se-ga was just taking a break from practicing alternating hand strikes and low kicks and was drinking some water.

“The situation. Come with me. I have something to ask you about what happened earlier.”

Kang Chae-seo gestured roughly.

“yes yes?”

In an instant, countless questions and immense fears swirled through his mind.

‘I’m really screwed.’

It seemed as if Kang Chae-seo would throw a punch at him right then and there and ask where the real S-class 78% was.

Kyeom, Jinrim, and Dahyun also had anxious expressions.

“Sega. Is there a problem?”

“Is that because you used lightning magic earlier?”

“You used lightning? I tried to use telekinesis and got scolded for it.”

I had no idea how much trouble would have been caused if I had been called by the professor even during the student probation period.

Sega followed Chae-seo into one side of the gym where there were partitions.

“Why did you call me?”

Kang Chae-seo glanced at him and said.

“You used lightning and partial reinforcement earlier, right?”

“… … !”

It was a look in his eyes as if he already knew everything.

Sega knew that silence would not do any good.

“I’m sorry. I was just competitive… … .”

“How did you do that?”

“yes?”

So I didn’t understand what followed for a moment.

“I clearly pushed you and Joohyuk to your limits. You had a hard time using only the body magic. But it’s not like you could use other supernatural abilities at the same time, right? How did you do it?”

Jeong Se-ga recalled the moment he jumped and used lightning techniques while lightly releasing the strength in his body.

“I think it worked because I relaxed my body.”

“You say you lost all your strength?”

Kang Chae-seo frowned.

“Yes. I made some room for myself and used the remaining power to use lightning.”

“And then in an instant you were back to focusing on body mechanics?”

“yes.”

Jeong Se-ga felt that something was off in the atmosphere, and Kang Chae-seo cursed softly and muttered, “I’m so greedy.”

“The reason I made you run to your death just now was to help you accumulate magical power, but also to practice how to flexibly direct that magical power to where it’s needed.”

“ah.”

“When you run, strength naturally goes into your neck, head, heart, spine, stomach, and legs, and the magical power is evenly distributed to those places. But you went beyond that and created some leeway, and even manifested other supernatural abilities. It would have been right to give you a break, but I’m not a professor who can be that relaxed.”

Jeong Se-ga swallowed and looked at Kang Chae-seo.

She stood in front of a slightly different-shaped wooden figure, stumbling around, and took a boxing stance.

“Since you’ve overachieved, you should learn something else. It’s a skill you usually learn one or two at a time around the end of your first year, but with your fluidity, it shouldn’t be too much trouble.”

She struck the crow with her fist.

Taang! Taang! Taaang!

It was a slow but deep punch.

Instead of breaking or falling over when hit by a fist, the wooden figure was pushed back as if it was being bounced.

Kang Chae-seo looked at Sega and said.

“A technique of the body-striking technique, the rebound jab. As you throw your punch, send the power of the body-striking technique from your shoulder to your wrist, and then withdraw it at the last moment. It can be used for both forward pressure and stable retreat. It is especially useful against enemies stronger than you.”

Sega felt a cold sweat running down his face again.

“It will work even on fairly large and strong guys. Think of it as similar to the internal power method that appears in martial arts novels. Of course, it doesn’t actually send magical power out of the body.”

I don’t know much about the hunter industry, but I feel like I’m learning something great right now.

‘It’s a crisis.’

And she would tell you this because she thought she could do it, so if she failed, she would immediately be disappointed and suspicious.

“The more you learn about bodybuilding, the more strange it becomes. Our training is closer to physical bodybuilding than boxing or MMA. Once your physical specs go up, you can kill anyone just by swinging your fists.”

Sega bowed deeply for a moment.

“Thank you very much. I will do it right away.”

He took the same boxing stance as Kang Chae-seo, concentrated his magical power on both shoulders, and then threw a punch.

Whoosh!

The moment he threw his fist, the magical power from his shoulder went all the way to the tip of his fist and then back again, and a “bang!” sound erupted from the air.

“You were too strong. If you keep going like this, instead of your opponent being pushed back, you’ll just get a little hurt on the outside.”

Kang Chae-seo shook her head, and Sega thought about how to use her magic power.

‘But it’s okay to fail once, right? No. I’ve already done it. No! Come to your senses. Where in the world can someone follow something they’ve seen once? Let’s analyze it calmly. If I’m conscious, the magic moves too fast and too strongly. Besides, if I’m not careful, a certain part of the body art might become empty. That goes against the premise of this class. Either practice enough to be able to control it unconsciously, or-.’

Sega came up with the idea of ??controlling the magical power of telekinesis.

‘My magic power extends to the tip of the fist and then slowly returns.’

I just believed that it would happen, and looked at the tip of my fist and regained my posture.

“30 hits in a row.”

“yes!”

He threw a punch at the crow.

Bam, bang! Bam!

The first fifteen were just quick jabs though.

Land! Hot! Hot!

The next ten times the crow began to shake slightly.

‘I think I know a little bit.’

Taang!

On the 28th punch, he succeeded in pushing the crow back more than two spans.

“It was a success!”

There was a sense of relief at having preserved the image and a sense of pleasure at having learned a new skill.

Kang Chae-seo made a bewildered expression and then nodded her head.

“Okay. Hit more. You need to succeed at least two out of three to be able to use it in a real fight, right?”

“yes!”

Jeong Se-ga raised his fist again, and Kang Chae-seo inwardly stuck out her tongue.

‘Ha. I was going to bet on an A+ performance evaluation or a scholarship, but I almost got ripped off. You. You’re really amazing. It’s a well-known fact that a monster like you can’t appear among the hunters who have awakened with stimulants.’

She took her smartphone out of her pocket, logged into the student affairs app, and entered the store’s address in bold letters.

‘Of course you’ll get involved in all sorts of accidents. That’s the kind of place Shinseoul is. Even though I can’t give you money, I’ll prevent you from being expelled because of unfair demerit points.’

* * *

By the end of his bodybuilding class, Sega had managed to get seven out of ten punches to land a rebound jab.

When he returned to his friends, Kyeom was excited.

“What happened? Are you still in trouble? Even if I used lightning once-.”

“Really, you were right?”

“No matter how great the new Seoul is, I can’t believe they treat you like that-.”

Sega smiled lightly and shook his head.

“No, it’s not like that. He just taught me a new skill.”

Iljinrim glared, and Lee Gyeom became twice as excited.

“Of course, they wouldn’t treat a genius like you like that. Maybe they’ll offer you to become their direct disciple right after the student protection week ends. But you shouldn’t accept it right away. Other professors might offer you something too. They’ll raise the price as much as possible-.”

Sega laughed it off and walked closer to Iljinrim.

She lifted her head from stroking her disheveled yellow hair.

Sega asked in a voice so loud that only she could hear.

“I’m thinking of going to the store tomorrow to pick up Geum Eun-yo. Is that okay?”

Iljinrim glanced at Judahyun’s expression and answered.

“I think… … .”
