Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 31



Only Krnovel

(031)

At the beginning of the semester, the difference in ability among students in Seoul was very large.

There was no need to even mention advanced learners.

Fortunately, the difference between a stable awakened Ritualist and an Elementalist who still can’t control their output is like that between a piece of heavy equipment and a broken fire extinguisher.

When we first entered the school a day or two ago, we didn’t know each other’s backgrounds or future prospects, so we were cautious with each other.

But now a week has passed.

The group that eats together has gradually been completed, each individual’s traits and magical aptitude levels are gradually becoming known, and the leading faction that leads the class has also begun to solidify.

The hierarchy was solidified and exploitation began.

“Don’t do that. Let’s play together.”

“I told you I have to practice.”

“I’ll help you. Okay? Okay. Follow me.”

The factions of Woo Jin-woo of Class 14 raised their voices in the autonomous training ground.

“Someone please… … .”

“Shh. You want to get caught?”

There was no stopping them, as the students were forced to hang out at the autonomous training center until the evening of the first weekend.

Choi Seon-mi, a refreshing-looking high school student with short brown hair that fell to her shoulders, tried hard to shake them off.

‘The exact same thing happened a few days ago. Don’t you remember me?’

‘Should I fight? But there are four of them. I’m so tired from training all day. When I was with Sega in the morning, I couldn’t even come near them.’

‘You won’t come… … No. Choi Seon-mi. You’re really crazy. You think she’s on the same level as you after talking to her a few times? Come to your senses. She’s the girl who hangs out with Joo Da-hyun. You shouldn’t expect her to help you. I have to do something.’

The moment she gritted her teeth with determination, one of the boys raised his voice.

“Ah. Seriously! It’s so damn expensive. You’re such a hot topic, what do you think you are?”

Her hand went up, and Choi Seon-mi shut her eyes tightly.

But the hand never fell down.

“I had plans with Seonmi. Is there a problem?”

A cool, low voice echoed through the autonomous training ground.

Choi Seon-mi slowly opened her eyes.

‘ah.’

The boy’s hands were trembling in the air.

“Profit, profit!”

It felt as if I was being held tightly by an invisible hand.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

He was a head taller than the other students, had broad shoulders, neatly slicked-back hair, and blue eyes.

Jeong Se-ga walked in with his left hand stretched out into the air.

His left hand looked as if it was tightly holding the boy’s wrist.

“… …Telekinesis?”

“A telekinesis master handles telekinesis like that?”

“Those two are polar opposites! This is ridiculous.”

Some students gasped, others looked on in awe.

“Sega?”

‘Did you come?’

Seonmi called him with a possessed feeling, and Sega nodded.

“I’m a little late. Sorry.”

He waved his left hand, and only then did the boy’s hand go down.

The students surrounding Choi Seon-mi unconsciously took a step back.

One of the boys gritted his teeth and walked forward again.

“What, why are you meddling again!”

He raised his voice, and Jeong Se-ga lifted his chin and glared at him.

“I was the one who had a prior engagement. You guys just got involved.”

“Stop kidding me! Damn it. You’re just trying to do this because you look half and half like him!”

Sega let out a deep sigh.

“Do you live your life thinking only about that?”

“… … !”

“As you may have heard, our first comprehensive hunting studies performance evaluation for Class 1 is the Minotaur hunt. It’s a performance evaluation that neither I nor this person can let their guard down. In order to not literally fail, we have to practice and work hard every single day, but it’s not enough.”

The boy gave her a puzzled look.

“Huh, huh?”

“If you think about anything else right now, you’ll really get screwed. Unless you’re planning on killing someone, don’t bother the kids practicing here.”

Sega said with genuine anger.

‘This is not it.’

No matter how crazy or insane a school is, it shouldn’t interfere with learning something.

“Or should I tell your class president? Those kids from class 14 keep making a scene in the autonomous training room?”

It didn’t even take a minute for the students in Class 14 to form a line.

* * *

Choi Seon-mi said, tying up her sweaty short hair.

“I wanted to be a great hunter who helps others, but I always just receive help. Thank you.”

Sweat dripped down his hairy neck, and steam rose from his black tracksuit, soaking wet from a day of training.

“No problem.”

“There’s no way I can pay you back. What should I do?”

“I just don’t like seeing that kind of thing. Don’t take it to heart.”

Sega answered indifferently, releasing his sword and leaning it to one side.

‘You may not remember, though.’

There was a reason why I was looking at Seonmi more than usual.

She may not remember, but Sega had saved her from death on the day of her entrance ceremony when she was bitten by a mutated monster after being injected with a stimulant.

It was Sega’s own atonement and proof.

‘I saved a life on the first day I woke up. Kim Joo-yong, you could never do that.’

So, even though he knew it wouldn’t be of much help in running forward, he made excuses and practiced with Seonmi.

“Let’s practice telekinesis. Can you lift a sponge now?”

“Oh, yeah! Now I can do it. I can be a sponge, and I can shoot toothpicks.”

“What about the salt mine?”

“That’s… … hehe.”

“Did you work hard on your interval training?”

“Yeah. Thanks to that, my magical power has increased a lot. Thanks to that, I was also able to practice amplifying biocurrent in the lightning technique class yesterday.”

“Then, it will be enough magic to use the Yeomdong Matan. Let’s do it together.”

“okay.”

Seonmi took the lead, gathering sponges and toothpicks, and then went into a large training room with mats on the floor.

It was full of students doing toothpick training, students doing salt magic training, and there were also students practicing pyromancy here and there.

“yap!”

Choi Seon-mi lifted the sponge with a cute cheer.

Sega opened his eyes wide and read the trajectory.

‘It wasn’t a mistake.’

As I concentrated, I saw blue waves of magical energy forming around the sponge, growing darker and darker.

The same thing happened when he floated the sponge.

“Symptom magic bullet. Let’s start with a needle shape. Wrap a toothpick with psychic power, then pull the toothpick out. That way, it’ll be easier to shape. Once you get used to making things with just psychic power, try spirals and arrows.”

“Okay. I’ll try it!”

The power of the magic vaporization field and the effort was tremendous.

Choi Seon-mi, who had not been able to use telekinesis until just four days ago, lifted four sponges to create a target.

The sight of him concentrating while holding his right wrist with his left hand was fatally cute.

“Sega. You want to go first?”

“okay.”

Sega thought there were six bullets in the air, all spinning furiously.

‘If I can’t increase the power of the magic bullet because of the image of the gun that the professor of the new school showed me, I’ll have to use that image of the gun as well. Even so, all the products that the professor puts out will be mine from now on.’

The next moment, he fired all of those bullets at once, completely tearing apart the thick, tough sponges.

Pubbuck!

Choi Seon-mi was startled and dropped the sponge pieces on the floor.

“Whoa!”

“Sorry, did I startle you?”

“No. You have nothing to feel sorry for. I was just surprised. I didn’t know it could tear so easily.”

“Ah. That’s right. When I touched it directly, it was really hard.”

“It’s the same strength as the special forces combat uniform. Isn’t it surprising?”

For a moment, Sega felt strange.

‘It’s not even a demon’s hide, but of all things, it has the same strength as a combat uniform? No. That would be an over-interpretation.’

But that feeling disappeared in an instant when Seonmi smiled refreshingly and waved in front of me.

“It’s your turn now. Lift it and move it slowly. I’ll try to match it.”

“Are you trying to match the movement right away?”

“The professor said that if you just keep your eyes on the target, your subconscious will correct your accuracy. I’m confident in my ability to concentrate.”

Seonmi smiled brightly and looked at the target that Sega had raised, and as Sega had said, she lifted the toothpick and prepared the Yeomdong Matan as if wrapping it around it.

Sega could vividly see in her eyes how much care she put into creating the shape.

Pfft!

Finally, the bullet was fired, piercing the center of the sponge that was swinging like a pendulum.

“nice!”

“Okay!”

The two of them unconsciously bumped their palms together and high-fived each other.

Since psychic magic was a class that could be learned, it was important for both the psychic and elementalist to score high points and the assignments were also important.

However, for the two of them who were both Elementalist, most of the elementalist subjects had little weight in terms of grades and the assignments weren’t that great.

“The non-pyromancy major’s performance evaluation is about making fireworks with a patch, and the midterm is about making abs with combustion.”

“Kyeom said that you can make fireworks without a patch?”

“It was so difficult that I had to change it.”

“oh my god.”

For Sega, who showed talent in most subjects, it was a somewhat frustrating situation.

‘Even though I did this well, the score only gets weighted by a few percent.’

Of course, I had no major complaints since I was also showing excellent results in swordsmanship and body fighting.

“Okay. Let’s train to increase magical power again.”

“I ran on a non-powered treadmill all day today, what more is there?”

Seonmi opened her mouth wide.

“If you’ve built it up, you should practice consolidating it. And you’re also aspiring to be a knight. That swordsmanship is a monster that really sucks up magic power. Even Kang Joo-hyuk would collapse after pulling it out with all his might for about 4 minutes. Do you think you can handle it with your magic power?”

“Oh, okay. I’ll do it! But just watch my posture from the side.”

Segawa Sunmi took turns holding a special magic weapon made of bones that could absorb magical power, and checked her posture.

“Let’s straighten our backs a little more.”

“Segaya. I think it would be good to put it on the side of your elbow. Like this.”

“… … From now on, when you do squats, wrap something extra around your waist. I know you have a nice body.”

Sega turned his head away as if embarrassed.

The male students who had been glancing at Seonmi from the surrounding area lowered their eyes in fright.

Seonmi glanced at her body reflected in the mirror.

The black leggings clung to her slim waist, flared hips, curvy buttocks, thighs, and slender calves, looking quite tempting.

“… … You look fine.”

She chuckled and muttered softly.

“Huh? What did you say?”

“Oh, it’s nothing! Really!”

After a while of grinding, no, grinding bones, I felt all my strength drained, but at the same time, refreshed.

“I don’t think I can do this anymore.”

Seonmi half-sank down, and Sega spoke nonchalantly.

“Okay. Now practice your sword skills. I’ll look after your position.”

“How did you do it? Can you give me some details and tips?”

“You said it wouldn’t be of much help because it varies from person to person, but excuse me for a moment.”

Seonmi sat cross-legged on the cushion, and Sega slowly approached her and placed a hand on her back.

I was very surprised because the body temperature was much higher than I expected.

“Straighten your shoulders, push your chest forward, and place your sword-holding hand in front of your navel. With your shoulders relaxed, I thought that my magical power would flow into the sword, and at the same time, the magical power of the entire world would gather into the sword.”

As I was standing close to her and observing her posture, Seonmi’s face turned bright red.

“Three, three?”

“huh?”

“I’m completely drenched in sweat right now… … .”

“Do I smell like sweat?”

“No, no. I’m not beating around the bush. I’m really… … .”

Sega took a deep breath.

“It smells like nothing but blue lemonade.”

“What’s that? Haha. At least it doesn’t smell. I was worried.”

Seonmi let out a sigh of relief, and Sega continued.

“Yes. If we go back to the story about the sword, there is a strange overlap with telekinesis. Do you remember what the professor said? You said that it was originally a cutting-type telekinesis.”

“Oh, yeah.”

“It felt like the magical power flowing out of my body was creating a telekinesis blade.”

bang!

At that moment, the door to the autonomous training center opened wide as if it was going to break open.

“The situation! Where is the situation?”

A man with a bear-like appearance, with a body as big as two people stuck side by side, a BB Aegis Teeth Blade on his waist, and a Shin Seoul school uniform jacket draped over his shoulders.

It was Woo Jin-woo from class 14.

“Are you really an S-class person? Huh? No matter what, you chased away my faction’s kids like that? You’re the only one who thinks you’re so great, right?”

He paced around the autonomous training grounds, shouting ferociously.

Sega stood up, leaving the frightened Sunmi behind.

Woo Jin-woo swore at Sega.

“How many times do you have to kick them before they crawl halfway here? And no matter what, isn’t it too much to be so mean when you first meet someone? We’re students here too.”

For Sega, it was a bolt from the blue.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

So I unconsciously let the thought out.
