chapter 6
6 – misunderstood as a vicious villain 6
“… … Rather than that, what are you going to do with me now?”
Well?
Sehyeon thought about the meaning of the words, but answered as no answer came out.
“What are you going to do? Are you just going to let it go?”
Hearing that, Chae Eun-seo couldn’t help but be startled.
“You’re just letting me go?”
What kind of plan is this guy… … .
If it was Yoon Se-hyeon, whom she had seen and felt, there would be no way she would show such mercy to those who fought and lost.
“What then? Shall I steal some money? Or do you use them as subordinates? It’s a violation of school rules, and you don’t like it either.”
Those words were truly surprising to Chae Eun-seo.
‘Breach of school rules, you care… … .’
If you think about it clearly, Yoon Se-hyun did not violate the school rules.
Personal sparring between students is completely free.
Even though carrying a lethal weapon is against the school rules, whether or not to wear protective equipment is left to each other’s coordination.
This was possible because the Awakened had a very tough lifeline unlike ordinary people, and the academy’s medical class facilities were the best in the world.
The reason Yoon Se-hyun is treated like a villain among the cadets is because she uses the rules very skillfully to bully the cadets.
‘Yes, even though I took out the weapon I saw, Yoon Se-hyun did not lift it until the end. Surprisingly, he might be the type to value the rules themselves… … .’
Is it to use loopholes in the rules to drive the opponent?
‘This man is also dangerous. It might be better for the lord to control it.’
Her perception of Sehyeon changed in her head.
Not just a sadistic psychopath, but also a villain with clear convictions and ego.
Sehyeon gestured towards Eunseo, telling her to go away, not even knowing what kind of treatment she was being treated.
“If you know, go quickly. Don’t bother and go. I’m still so nervous about class tomorrow that I can’t even sleep… … .”
I’m dumbfounded, so I’m laughing.
‘Are you nervous in class? A class that loses its meaning even if it is above the B rank average? After all, school rules, everything, maybe it was just a joke and acting. Anyway, he’s an unpredictable bastard.’
The academy was also a facility for fostering awakened people, but for the high-ranking people, it was a kind of playground and a place for socializing.
Most of the instructors are A rank.
The curriculum they teach has limitations.
From the point of view of the cadets, who were born into good families and have trained and developed their abilities through private tutors since childhood, there is nothing to gain from classes.
The reason why such high-ranking cadets enter the academy is to build meaningful friendships with high-ranking members of other families.
And it could be seen that those who were already close to completion came for the purpose of using only the world’s best training facilities.
That’s why I often missed classes even if my grades were around the middle of the B rank.
At the academy, everything is basically autonomous, so even if you skip all classes, everything is okay as long as your grades are good.
‘Well, if you just let me go, it’s me, but… … .’
The place where I was hit from earlier is sore and painful.
I had to go and get treatment.
I also had to report to Chae Heon-young about Yoon Se-hyeon.
“Yes, turn it off however you like.”
Chae Eun-seo wrapped her stomach and turned around.
Only then could Sehyun breathe a sigh of relief.
‘Really, how many people did it in a few days. I can’t look around the facility and it’s very difficult.’
Still, I thought I might be able to live a little more peacefully now that I’ve defeated them quite a bit.
Sehyun came into the dorm room and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
‘Is it class from tomorrow? … .’
You can also register for classes using the mobile phone provided by the academy.
With that, Sehyeon registered for classes at the Faculty of Magic.
‘Wouldn’t it have been the right choice to take the Faculty of Magic class?’
I spent the night last night thinking about it.
Is it right to train magic or to train the body?
First of all, looking at the [Sealed Transcendentalist’s Unconsciousness] characteristic, it was right to discard everything and train the body.
As a counterattack, if it wasn’t an ordinary fist, but a fist filled with magical energy, it would have tremendous power.
However, from Sehyun’s experience, there are some difficulties.
First of all, having ridiculous combat abilities was limited to ‘counterattack’.
If you attack, it’s just like normal people swinging their fists.
Two days ago, Sehyeon was so annoyed by the cadets who kept attacking him that he even punched himself.
The fist filled with the power of that rage was very easily blocked by the opponent’s elbow.
It still hurts to touch it, as if the finger bones were cracked due to hitting the hard elbow of the Awakener.
Immediately after that, he counterattacked the opponent’s attack to counterattack and won the fight itself by landslide, but the limit was clearly revealed there.
For example, if the other person doesn’t attack, it’s enough.
‘Even if I practice swordsmanship or martial arts without any specialties, that flaw won’t be compensated.’
Characteristics are important.
While there are cases in which a character develops through training, it is impossible to guarantee that it will come out 100%, so most of the cases choose a career path with the characteristics you have.
Even though he doesn’t have any talent, Sehyeon had a ‘wizard’ trait.
The attack is done by training hard magic, and the defense is filled with [Unconsciousness of the sealed transcendentalist].
That was Sehyun’s plan to survive in the game.
He had several other reasons for choosing the Faculty of Magic.
First, the intensity of the counterattack cannot be adjusted at will.
The counterattack is sometimes weak and sometimes strong.
Fitting the word counterattack, the body moving on its own seemed to aim for the opponent’s ‘stop’ rather than anything else.
I can’t even do that at will, but even if I train hard and become a physical awakener, is it possible to dramatically increase my combat power?
In my opinion, that wasn’t the case.
It’s just that the body itself becomes stronger, so even if you hit it with the same strength, you might be able to hit it harder, but that’s the realm of weight training.
It was something that could be combined with training while learning magic.
And secondly, Sehyeon preferred using magic rather than walking around wielding a sword or fist.
Taste was really important.
It’s also related to the will to train.
I suddenly fell into the game without any ointment, so wouldn’t it be nice to live if I felt at least a bit of fun?
It was hard to give up the romance of growing up as a wizard he admired.
‘The thing that takes a while is that I don’t really have any magic talent… … It would be nice if the transcendental trait would do something about this too. Wouldn’t that be too conscienceless?’
For one reason or another, Sehyeon decided to become a wizard in the future.
‘Well. No matter how you think about it, this is right. If the physical wave feels compelled to combine attack, defense, and evasion, the magician can only use firepower. All I need is an offensive ability. Besides, there’s something called physical strengthening in magic, right?’
I went to bed hoping that my judgment wasn’t wrong.
Tomorrow is the long-awaited class day.
I’m nervous, but I’m also looking forward to it.
What magic will you learn?

A girl with reddish-brown hair neatly tied up.
Seo Yoon-woo, who was enrolled in the magic undergraduate basic class, sat in front of the mirror and sighed deeply.
‘Sigh… … I’m so nervous. Will I be able to do well?’
Seo Yun-woo had a timid and shy personality.
Somehow, her abilities were manifested and she entered the academy with government support, but she was the head of the girl.
She had to feed her younger siblings, so she couldn’t even finish middle school, so she didn’t have the confidence to adapt to this academy full of high-ranking members of society.
‘Of course, there are very few people from such a great family in the basic class, but… … I’m still worried! There are rumors that there are very scary people.’
She sat down at the mirror once again to tidy up her appearance.
She usually grew her bangs and covered her eyes and went around gloomy, but I thought it would be unlikable to anyone, so I cut it so that it only covered her eyebrows.
And the back of her hair was neatly braided, so she tried to look as nice and sincere as possible.
‘Still, wouldn’t this be enough to make you feel bad as soon as you see it… … ?’
Since childhood, Yun-woo was so busy taking care of his younger siblings that he had no time to improve his appearance.
She always wore loose-fitting clothes and had long, unkempt hair, so she had no idea how good she was.
Objectively, her appearance was quite cute.
I’ve seen gains with faces, to the extent that I don’t see any losses.
Thanks to the beauty effect caused by mana, there were only a lot of good men and women among the Awakened.
‘Ah, my head is sticking out here.’
While I was sitting and tidying up my hair for a while, I heard a beeping sound from the alarm.
Now I really had to go out and attend the basic class at the Faculty of Magic.
Chop! Chop!
‘I can do well, Seo Yoon-woo!’
She cheered herself up by hitting both cheeks twice and left the dormitory.
I hope there are many good people.
I hope you can make good friends.
I hope the person next to me is an ordinary person.
begging and begging like that.
‘my seat… … Row B, number 13. Ah, here it is.’
When I arrived and sat down, there was already a cadet sitting next to me.
I glanced at him, thinking he might not be a scary person.
‘Phew, at least I don’t think I’m a bad person.’
Seo Yun-wu rubbed his chest inwardly.
I didn’t see it wrong, so I looked at the male cadet next to me again.
‘Umm, for some reason, it’s a reassuring face. This person seems to be from the same class as me… … Try making friends from the first day!?’
If it’s good, he looks nice while studying well, and if it’s bad, he doesn’t look like a big deal.
Seeing that, her courage surged and she made a big decision.
Wow, it’s a sign of friendliness by talking to them first.
‘Whoa, whoa.’
She took a deep breath and spoke to the cadet next to her.
“Hey, hi… … ?”
“Uh, hello.”
“It’s next to us. This is also meant to be, so why not be close? My name is Seo Yoon-woo.”
“great. I am Sehyun Yoon. Let’s be friendly.”
Yoon-woo was delighted with the friendship that was created at once.
‘Kyaaa! I couldn’t even finish middle school properly, making friends from the first day of academy class! Maybe I have grown as a person?’
However, when I thought about it, something was strange.
‘wait for a sec… … His name, Yun… Sehyun?’
A rumor popped into my head.
[They completely crushed his face. ]
[Oh, that’s creepy. Would it look scary? ]
[ no. The face is also normal. I just thought it looked good to be careless. ]
“… … .”
Her complexion turned pale for an instant.
Trembling in fear, he cautiously opened his mouth.
“Me, over there. Any rumors… … ?”
“hahahaha… Rumors must be wrong… … .”
Sehyun smiles shyly with a puzzled expression.
“Hyaaa!”
That alone was enough to make the weak and timid girl cry out.
‘What have I done! What have I done! Ahh.’
Seo Yun-woo was so shocked that he lost his mind.
“uh? hey hey! Wake!”
Her screams drew attention and all eyes were fixed on Sehyun.
A girl who collapsed after swallowing bubbles and a rumored villain who jumped up.
A murmur grew louder in the classroom.
“I guess the target this time is him.”
“Wow, I passed out from foaming. What the hell did you do?”
“Poor… oh my god… … .”
“Let’s not mess around. If you get caught by something like that, there is no answer other than dropping out.”
Why do I hear the sound of children whispering quietly in my ears?
Could this also be the effect of the [Sealed Transcendentalist’s Unconsciousness]?
I didn’t need that kind of effect.
Sehyun felt like tearing her hair out and screaming.
“It’s not like that! I didn’t do anything! I just stayed still, and he passed out by himself!”
I shouted at the children to vent my injustice.
“Wow, Mr. Are you managing your image? scary… … .”
“Certainly, if you do that openly, you will be kicked out of the academy.”
“I’m more afraid of villains who play with the law than things that are covered up.”
“Aren’t you actually a spy sent by the Villains Union?”
But either way, the cadets in the basic class were already busy making Sehyeon a villain from their own worldview.
