Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 27

A new day always came. With the beginning of the faculty meeting, Cha Dong-hyuk opened his mouth with a slightly dark face.

“Mr. Kang, have you met student Dongmin Bae?”

“No, I wasn’t home. I looked around the house and downtown just in case, but I couldn’t find it.”

“Also···.”

Cha Dong-hyuk nodded and glanced at the other teachers.

“I have been contacted by the parents of student Dongmin Bae. He hadn’t been home for quite some time. To say that you even reported her missing, I hope the teachers will also tell the students about it.”

“ah···.”

“all right.”

The teachers replied with a sorry face. In the past, I would have pretended to be like that, but now it is different.

It was because everyone knew the special class that Kang Tae-min had changed. It reflects the expectation that Bae Dong-min could be different if he had received Kang Tae-min’s education.

Subsequent reports were unremarkable. Cha Dong-hyuk stood up after the meeting.

Kang Tae-min also returned to his seat. He was checking his mail.

“The Vice Principal.”

“Well? Ah, Miss Catherine.”

I heard Katherine and Cha Dong-hyuk’s whispering voices. Others may not be able to hear it, but if Kang Tae-min concentrates, he can hear it vividly as if he is right next to him.

“I’ll pay half the time after class.”

“Half car? Where are you sick?”

“Nope. The association has some business to do.”

Cha Dong-hyuk paused for a moment. He looked at Catherine’s expression and then nodded.

“All right. Please forward it to the administration office.”

“thank you.”

“Sir Taemin.”

As the conversation ended, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted. When Kang Tae-min turned his head, Seol Ga-eun was looking at him.

“Hey, dinner date… remember?”

she asked, a little shy. Taemin Kang nodded with a light smile.

“Yes, of course.”

I had promised her in return while taking her to prepare for the weekend training and goblin dungeon break.

Then Seol Ga-eun smiled widely.

“Well then, how about dinner tonight? Originally, I was going to make a reservation for the weekend, but it was full…”

As if to make an excuse, she averted her eyes and brushed her ears. The reddish ears were slightly exposed through the thick hair.

“Ah, it’s okay.”

Rather fortunately. On the weekends, he also had work to do.

“really? hehehe, then let’s have dinner together tonight.”

“Yes, ah. I just had something I wanted to ask.”

“Yes, ask me anything.”

“How is Soyul these days?”

Seol Ga-eun, who had been smiling brightly, hardened as it was.

“Ahahahaha, you’re doing great!”

An awkward smile and a slightly trembling voice. It was difficult for Seol Ga-eun to hide her feelings.

She knew that fact well, so she continued speaking again with a sullen expression.

“…Actually, he’s doing better than me now. On the contrary, I can learn a lot more just by watching.”

Kang Tae-min trusted her and gave her her duties as a teacher, but now Seol Ga-eun had nothing to teach her.

‘Ugh, I’m sure you’ll be disappointed.’

Seol Ga-eun bowed her head. I didn’t have the confidence to check Kang Tae-min’s face.

If I knew it would be like this, I would have studied harder.

“That sounds great.”

“···Yes?”

I wanted to be sarcastic, but it wasn’t that kind of nuance. Seol Ga-eun cautiously raised her head.

Taemin Kang was looking at him with a smile.

‘I expected this much.’

Kang Tae-min expected that Min So-yul would soon surpass Seol Ga-eun’s level of knowledge. I heard that not only that talent, but also the supply of materials became smooth with the help of Ju Da-hyun.

So, it was only natural for her to improve her skills.

‘I didn’t expect that from the beginning.’

The reason he entrusted Min So-yul to Seol Ga-eun was more about mental management than learning. I hoped that the optimistic Seol Ga-eun would stick next to the pessimistic Min So-yul and energize it, and it actually worked.

“It is difficult not to settle down and not stop learning. Teacher Ga-eun is doing that difficult job.”

“ah···.”

“And the reason Soyul is so relieved and immersed in the experiment must be because teacher Gaeun is by her side.”

Seol Ga-eun’s eyes widened. Whether he is by his side or not, isn’t Min So-yul an excellent alchemist?

“If you get sick from drinking the potion being experimented on, you will believe that teacher Ga-eun will help you.”

“is that so···?”

“Yes. Thanks to teacher Gaeun. I wish you well in the future.”

The corner of Seol Ga-eun’s mouth was loose. Kang Tae-min smiled at her face and stood up.

“Then, see you in the evening.”

“Yes? Oh yes!”

Seol Ga-eun smiled brightly.

Today seemed to be the happiest day ever.

* * *

Catherine left the academy as soon as afternoon classes were over. She headed to one of the association’s branches, which was in charge of her case.

-You are the one who has to come back.

The words Kang Tae-min left last night before we parted ways are not forgotten in my mind. The reason he knew best.

‘…It’s as you say.’

I didn’t fight because it was painful. It was hard and I ran away. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid.

Because it was easy and convenient.

‘I can’t continue like this.’

Yesterday was different from that day.

Taemin Kang held his hand. saved himself from danger.

Maybe we can go back to the old days. If she approaches him according to his word.

“excuse me. That···.”

Catherine asked to see the security hunter who saved her that day.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t meet right away. But she decided to wait.

‘…But can I really go back to the way it was before?’

The longer she waited, the more anxiety rose in her heart.

‘In the end you shook off my hand, didn’t you reject me? Even if I check the matter again, anyway…’

Recalling the incident made it difficult to breathe again. Catherine consciously took a deep breath.

-I just hid, turned away, and ran away.

Kang Tae-min’s words came to mind again. she helped herself

‘Come all the way here again…’

He knew exactly who he was. Kang Tae-min was not wrong. So Catherine had to endure.

-I’ve always been there.

Because I believed that this statement was also not wrong.

‘…doesn’t he hate me?’

Her thoughts didn’t go further. It was because the security hunter was able to come back and meet him.

“hello. You said you were looking for me…?”

“Ah yes. I···.”

He looked like he didn’t know her. After all, time had passed, and there was no way that Catherine was the only person he saved.

Because of this, Catherine had to bring up the story herself. Now was the time to take the hard road.

“ah···!”

At Catherine’s explanation, he briefly exclaimed. It was a worried expression, as if he remembered it now.

“But it’s already over, so why…?”

“I’m fine with anything, so if there’s anything I don’t know, please tell me.”

The police hunter rolled his eyes. But then he frowned slightly and shook his head.

“Well… I didn’t hide anything in particular.”

“Ah… is that so?”

It was at this moment that Katherine showed a look of disappointment.

“Yes. And because of the Crime Reporter Protection Act, even the victim himself cannot reveal the identity of the reporter.”

“Are you a reporter?”

Catherine’s eyes twinkled.

“Didn’t you find me while on patrol?”

“Yes? No, no. It wasn’t even in our jurisdiction.”

At those words, a scene flashed through Catherine’s mind. It was Kang Tae-min who was surprised to see him and ran away.

“Ho, by any chance… that reporter…”

Hearing Catherine’s explanation, the security hunter looked bewildered.

“uh? Did you know each other?”

The answer was nothing short of affirmative. Catherine’s chin trembled slightly.

‘That day, he didn’t leave me and run away…’

That day, Kang Tae-min was afraid to see her and ran away. I thought so until now.

But the reporter is Kang Tae-min?

“Catherine? Are you okay?”

“…Yes, it’s fine. Taemin Kang works at the same academy as me.”

I had to know more. Catherine suppressed her agitation and said, The peace hunter checked her ID and knew it was true.

“Tell me exactly what happened.”

“No, why didn’t you ask yourself… and the reporter didn’t talk?”

At that question, Catherine’s heart tightened. If she had summoned up the courage, even if she had only tried to listen to Kang Tae-min’s story, this misunderstanding would not have happened.

Seeing her expression like that, the police hunter guessed that there must be something complicated. He sighed and explained briefly.

“When we found the reporters, they were almost all dying. Well, as you know, it wasn’t a body suitable for exercise.”

Kang Tae-min ran without stopping to ask for help. Even if your heart feels like it’s going to burst, even if you feel like you’re dying from breathlessness.

“My colleague gave first aid. He barely came to his senses and begged for help while crying.”

When patrolling, combat and healing hunters form groups. It was to respond to criminals and protect victims.

“Perhaps it was because of overdoing it, he fainted from exhaustion after saying that. Request support and deliver the location of the reporter. Well, after that, you’ll know better.”

Catherine was listening to the story in a daze. Kang Tae-min’s expression as he left came to mind over and over again.

The expression on his face was not fear, but urgency.

“And after that… no, this isn’t it.”

In the meantime, the security hunter tried to say more, but hesitated.

“What is it? What more happened?”

“Uhm…that’s it. After that, another report came in.”

It was about how the arrested criminal found out that Kang Tae-min had reported it and threatened him.

It was because the gang members who were waiting to kidnap Catherine remembered Kang Tae-min.

“However, there was no evidence, so there was no additional punishment. Please don’t talk about this elsewhere. The complainant must have suffered quite a bit.”

“···thank you.”

Katherine blinked with a bewildered face and hurriedly stood up.

Tears flowed down the reddened eyes. He endured the crying, but did not wipe away the tears.

Emotions surged. sorry, guilt, and longing.

‘I have to apologize, I have to apologize.’

I had to meet Kang Tae-min as soon as possible.

* * *

The sun went down and the sky turned red.

Catherine hastily returned to the academy. It was soon after school.

Where is Taemin Kang?

She ran straight to the training ground.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside. The eyes of the students gathered to use the training ground fell on her.

“Isn’t it Catherine teacher?”

“What is going on?”

Because of her haste, her appearance was not very neat.

Tears were clearly visible on her cheeks, and her blouse was inside the skirt on one side and outside the skirt on the other.

‘doesn’t exist.’

Kang Tae-min was nowhere to be found on the training ground. But instead, I saw a familiar student.

“Song Dae-beom, student of Song Dae-beom.”

“Yes Yes?”

While Song Dae-beom was taken aback, he felt good that he had recognized him.

“Kang Tae-min, teacher Kang Tae-min, where are you?”

“Uh… that, I don’t know either.”

In response, she quivered her lips and immediately turned around. Song Dae-beom looked at the back with a bewildered face.

‘Wasn’t the two of them some? Why are you looking for it in such a hurry? Did you fight…?’

Song Dae-beom shook his head.

‘No matter how monstrous the homeroom teacher is, it seems that dating is difficult.’

While Song Dae-beom was lost in his thoughts, Catherine hurriedly ran around the academy.

‘School gate, I just have to wait at the school gate.’

If Kang Tae-min did not take supplementary lessons, he would have to wait at the school gate. She returned to the school gate.

I saw a familiar back figure, as if that thought was correct.

“Kang Tae…”

Katherine was about to call out his name, but then stopped.

A car stopped in front of the school gate, in front of Kang Tae-min. The man in the driver’s seat was someone she knew well.

Seol Ga-eun put Kang Tae-min in the car with a bright smile.

It’s not too late even now.

But she couldn’t call Kang Tae-min. He himself couldn’t figure out why.

“I have to apologize…”

It just hurts my heart so much.

* * *

Seol Ga-eun handed over the car keys and got off. It was because the restaurant she reserved was a fairly expensive fine dining restaurant, and valet parking was standard.

“Wow… there are so many people even on a weekday.”

Seol Ga-eun said as she looked at the parked cars and the people entering the restaurant.

Most of the guests were male and female couples, so the atmosphere was friendly.

‘It’s just dinner.’

Seol Ga-eun looked back at Kang Tae-min while feeling nervous without realizing it.

It was because I was worried that he might misunderstand(?).

“Yes, it certainly is. I think it’s a great place.”

Kang Tae-min looked no different than usual. He was just smiling softly.

‘Right, it’s just the dinner we promised in return.’

Seol Ga-eun was a little disappointed, but relieved at his consistent appearance. If she had read Kang Tae-min’s heart.

‘Since I’ve fed them expensive meals, I’ll be able to eat more for a while.’

I would have thought a little differently.
