chapter 21
21 – Spring Training 3
Han Do-young left the place to start the ‘hunt’ after accepting the ‘alliance’ offer he made.
However, even after the man had left in front of her, the smile that was so deep on Shin Hye-hye’s lips still didn’t leave.
‘Isn’t it nicer than I thought to hear that kinky man accepting the offer of an alliance? It’s a refreshing feeling as if you’re flying through the sky.’
A feeling of joy that she felt was too intense, in her opinion.
Regarding this, Shinhye felt a strange sense of incongruity along with her slight doubts, but she decided to accept it simply.
It was Shin-hye who had been thinking a lot in many ways to subdue that man, and her mind hadn’t changed even at this moment.
And now, Shin-hye succeeded in breaking down some of the author’s ‘hostility’, the first and perhaps the most difficult step.
Depending on what you think, it was a situation where you could be fully happy about the fact that you had achieved a difficult goal.
‘Of course, we’ve only just taken the first step, but even that alone is a great harvest. Right now, we’ve signed a light non-aggression pact, but we’ll be able to build a closer relationship next time.’
After shortening the distance step by step, at the end, put that man in your clique in some way.
Whether you form an unbreakable alliance or become a mercenary with a permanent contract.
If he could keep that man close to him as an ally in any way, he would have no choice but to naturally give in to Shin Hye-hye, who was in an incomparable position in the social background.
‘It will take a while, but there is no other way than this. As my father said, after all, the world is governed by money and power..’
Shin Hye-hye smiles slightly as she recalls the image of the man who will eventually become hers.
Then,
Looking at her like that, her aide Kim Gang-seon asked a question in a slightly questionable voice.
“Hey… Lady? Shouldn’t we go soon too?”
“Huh? Ah.. That.. That’s right. Now that the preparations are complete, let’s all go.”
“Yes, my lady.”
Choi Hye-hye finally came to her senses at the words of her faction subordinates and started giving orders.
So, Shin Hye-hye and her clique colleagues started moving to the rendezvous point they had talked about with the clique children belonging to other classes in advance.
*
Right after we talked and parted ways with Shinhye, I started moving through the woods and heading towards a cave where I could be completely immersed without being disturbed by others.
I am moving without using my abilities right now and relying only on my basic physical abilities.
Of course, I was not lowering my guard against the surroundings just in case, but honestly, it was true that I wondered if it was necessary to go this far.
In the first place, only Choi Hye-hye was the only one in the grade that was attending this training that could deliver firepower that exceeded my scalar conversion in one blow.
The 1st and 2nd rank academy factions were originally in different grades, and other than that, even those who could be said to be quite strong among the students couldn’t hit me directly.
No matter how you attack, it is meaningless in front of my ability to twist the foundation of all physical phenomena called scalar conversion.
While being wary like that, feeling fairly comfortable, I finally arrived at the place where there was a small cave I had looked at before entering the forest.
The location of this place is located almost at the end of the hill area where training is currently underway.
It was safe to say that no one would come this far unless someone knew on purpose and came to find out.
Of course, I still had to set up a light guard trap at the entrance just in case, but that wasn’t too difficult for me, who was already worn out on this side.
‘Well, then.. Shall we simply set up a trap and go in to sleep? I’m a little tired from walking all the way to this hill from dawn.’
Thinking of a slightly uncomfortable but uninterrupted rest after the work, I first wrote a bag… And went inside to put my luggage, which could be considered accessories, into the cave.
But…
“… Uh?”
The next moment, something new and black began to appear in my eyes.
As I was about to put down my luggage, I had no choice but to move towards it without stopping.
“… This… “
A pure white object placed inside the cave.
As for what it was… I could figure it out without difficulty.
AK-14
One of the existing unmanned weapons, a kind of ‘monster’ that the students are supposed to deal with in this training.
Its own fighting power was at the level of a C-class hero, and in fact it was weak compared to the B-class, which is classified as a superman, but it has a fighting power that is formidable for an average student to deal with.
But at this moment,
For the students, the powerful weapon, which they had to be prepared for and avoid battle as much as possible, was no longer a danger.
-Pajik Pajik! Pajijik!..
It has a size of 2.5M and is messed up while shooting red sparks.
To be honest, these weapons were not only in the past, but they still have the same level of power as an A-class hero.
But…
Apart from that fact,
Looking at it terribly broken,
I couldn’t help but feel an ominous feeling at the fact that it was recognized automatically.
Although there is not much time left, it was not yet the time to fight.
In other words… These unmanned weapons were also supposed to be inoperative under normal circumstances, and even if the students discovered them, they could not recklessly attack them until they were given permission to fight.
But
Currently, this weapon seems to have been destroyed during the battle, and the blade part used as a weapon protruded to the outside, and there were no traces of blood or anything cut there.
Judging from the appearance of the guy still sending out tiny currents while firing sparks, it was clear that it hadn’t been that long since he was destroyed.
And the part that can’t help but catch my attention decisively..
Those are the traces clearly left in the remains of this huge steel weapon…
It was about a blow that destroyed the guy’s power unit with a single blow.
‘With this level of attack power, it is impossible unless you have at least B-class skills. But.. Among the students here, there are less than four people, including me and Shinhye, who have reached that level. Besides, decisively… There is no one among them who can use this level of strength as an ability.’
The moment I thought that far,
I automatically started to get goosebumps in my back.
Someone with B-level or higher skills who destroyed an unmanned weapon in this border area of the training ground.
From the fact that he was neither a hero nor an academy student, there was only one conclusion I could draw.
‘A villain… A villain has infiltrated this place… Where the academy students are training.’
As soon as I recognized that fact, my face began to harden.
The situation of the villain’s invasion confirmed in front of your eyes.
In fact, even at this moment, battles between villains and heroes have been going on endlessly all over the world, and the resulting damage is enormous, so it could be said that the invasion of villains itself is always a thing.
But… The problem was that the place they had infiltrated was none other than the students’ training ground.
A place where the majority of students in their mid-teens, who have not even reached adulthood yet, occupy the vast majority.
And…
As a body that once served as the commander of the Villain Alliance, I knew very well what that meant.
‘..Such a crazy… Are these bastards really planning to break a taboo?’
