Chapter Index

    A few days after Jekyll’s terror attack.

    Academy faculty and staff gathered in the conference room and watched a video.

    A humanoid monster with wings that attacks people.

    Two men fighting against such monsters.

    Eugene and Cheolsu.

    “Hey, I’ve seen it on YouTube several times, but I can’t believe it.”

    It was a video that everyone already knew from seeing on the news.

    However, it is bound to be different from watching the original from beginning to end.

    The more you look at it, the more you realize its capabilities.

    “Huh, is this really a student’s skill?”

    “Even current heroes can’t show their business cards.”

    This is not an empty compliment.

    Rather, this was closer to being said with utmost restraint.

    The amount of magic power and physical level that the two showed was incredible.

    Even the martial arts used there are all of high perfection.

    It is already at a level that is more than enough to be used in the field.

    If there were no changes to the regulations, I would have wanted to have him graduate early and become a hero.

    “I never thought that the main character in solving this terrorist incident would be a student at our school.”

    “I had a great career even before I graduated. There’s already such a fuss from other guilds asking for a leg up.”

    The academy is basically operated by donations from associations, guilds, and companies.

    Thanks to him, we are able to provide quality education to our students and invest generously in facilities.

    Of course, investment does not come without any basis.

    Because they are also in a position to receive talent through the academy.

    Ultimately, like PPL in a drama, it has the meaning of an advertisement.

    In that sense, this performance was enough to attract great attention from people.

    “Kim Yu-jin and Kim Cheol-soo. I’ve heard this story for a long time, but there are two geniuses like that in the same grade.”

    Not only Cheolsu, who has been called a genius since long ago,

    Even Eugene, Heukcheon’s successor, is sure to want it, drooling everywhere.

    That interest will soon lead to investment in the academy.

    From the professors’ perspective, they cannot help but smile like unemployed people who won the lottery.

    “Anyway, was there anything from Heukcheon? It feels like it doesn’t fit the image of the successor they want.”

    A few people nod their heads at those words.

    In the video, Eugene was ‘cooperating’ with Cheolsu.

    Of course, in the face of a powerful enemy, even Kim Yu-jin may have had to join forces.

    If you look at it without such prejudice, the two seem like friends who have been together for a long time.

    It was quite far from the commonly known ‘image’ of Heukcheon.

    “First of all, there were no sanctions from Heukcheon. Rather, it feels like a bit of promotion.”

    “Hmm, are you really going to make up your mind and cooperate with the association from now on?”

    “No way. The opponent is that black sky.”

    Some public opinion was already supporting Heukcheon.

    After all, Heukcheon is a notorious mafia organization.

    It is difficult to hope that their image will recover immediately.

    Of course, apart from that, Eugene’s ‘personal’ evaluation seems to have increased significantly.

    Anyway, he is tall and handsome and seems to have something that makes women’s hearts flutter.

    “Well, I’ll end this story here for now. The schedule is tight, so let’s move on to the next item.”

    “Yes, then the following is about the Academy event. Everyone, please open your documents.”

    The Academy’s schedule is busy.

    The island survival training is over and the rest period is over.

    That meant it was soon time for the next event to begin.

    “As you all know, we also need to prepare for the next international competition, ‘U-Academia.’”

    The teachers attending the meeting nodded at the words of Eugene’s homeroom teacher, Wisdom.

    U-Academia was a competition in which only awakened people still attending the academy could participate.

    Of course, not all academies participate,

    There are some countries that are excluded due to circumstances.

    In any case, it is an international competition that is reported all over the world.

    Winning was a world-class honor,

    It was an opportunity to elevate the name of the Academy.

    Of course, the first step is to be selected as the Asian representative.

    “Last time, Baek So-yi from ‘White Lotus’ went out and took second place, right?”

    “It was a disappointing fight. If it weren’t for Feihu, he was a talented person who would have won the championship.”

    Whatever it is, Korea is also a heroic powerhouse.

    They have always achieved outstanding results in international competitions.

    In other words, it was a place where people would be criticized if the results were bad.

    “Anyway, I guess I’ll have to select two people as representatives this time.”

    “Hmm, one each from the Martial Arts faction and the Ministry of Magic. What happens to this candidate?”

    “Yes! According to the current grades, Kim Yu-jin will be in the Martial Arts faction, and Seo Yu-ra, the class president of the same class, will be in the Ministry of Magic.”

    “Ah… … .”

    At those words, silence fell in the conference room.

    It’s okay if you’re the class president.

    She is a great student and her parents are heroes worthy of respect.

    It is not enough to make the name of the academy shine even before the skill.

    The problem was on Kim Yujin’s side.

    “If it’s Kim Yu-jin, it’s Heukcheon… … .”

    “Hmm, anyway, sending the heir of the mafia to an international competition is a bit… … .”

    It’s not just external reasons.

    Black Heaven and the Hero Association have been friends for a long time.

    In addition, the Academy receives a lot of influence from the association in one way or another.

    I didn’t know what would come out if I promoted Kim Yu-jin as the representative.

    but-

    “Anyway, isn’t it true that Yujin Kim’s grades are the highest?”

    “Isn’t there Kim Cheol-soo? Same with the video earlier. They say that friend is also the greatest genius of all time.”

    “It would be easier to understand if you think that the opponent that the all-time genius is trying to surpass is Kim Yujin.”

    If it is dropped for that reason, problems with fairness arise.

    The opponent is not anywhere else but the Black Heavens.

    What kind of shit will they do using this as an excuse?

    It is noticeable that the hair loss of the person in charge, who is already shedding, will worsen.

    There is no doubt that Kim Yu-jin is talented, but honestly, I am reluctant.

    If you recommend Kim Yu-jin as is, the Hero Association will get caught.

    However, if you drop it, the black sky is scary.

    It was a time when they were agonizing over one thing or another.

    “Why are you worrying about such useless things!”

    Suddenly the conference room door opened and someone came in.

    People who recognized her jumped up and bowed.

    “Ki, aren’t you Taejin Kim!”

    “Oh, good work.”

    A young girl wearing a hanbok (traditional Korean clothes) walked toward me with long strides.

    There was no one to stop her.

    Actually, it is Kim Tae-jin who is called a legend among the current heroes.

    If I treat her wrong, I have nothing to say even if I get kicked out of this place forever.

    Taejin Kim sat down on the table, ignoring the chair the employee had pulled out with trembling hands.

    “I personally teach the students selected as representatives for this international competition, regardless of their identity and abilities.”

    “Yes?! Wow, what is that all of a sudden?!”

    All the employees were astonished.

    As I just said, Kim Tae-jin is a legendary hero.

    If she offers to teach, even current heroes will no doubt line up.

    For students, this is an unprecedented condition that they could literally risk their lives for.

    “Instead, I decide how to select. There will be no complaints, right?”

    “Ah, yes! Well, if it were Taejin Kim, who would dare raise an objection? Still, in line with fairness… … .”

    The employee recalled the story of Kim Yu-jin learning from Kim Tae-jin and quickly spoke.

    Taejin Kim shook his head.

    “Don’t worry. These representatives are selected through a thoroughly fair test.”

    Then he said with an evil smile appropriate for his age(?).

    “The rule of the competition is tag battle. The martial arts faction and wizard who want to participate form a team, and the participants continue to fight among themselves. The rule is until only two remain.”

    The employees blinked for a moment.

    For a moment, everyone wondered if they had heard wrong.

    “Fight, fight, fight until only the two strongest remain. It’s the fairest and surest way, right?”

    ****

    “Kim Yujieeein!”

    Meanwhile, it’s still early in the morning in front of Heukcheon’s mansion.

    The day started with Kim Cheol-soo’s shout.

    Even if you saved dozens of citizens from monsters in vain,

    Even if the two of us defeated that monster ourselves,

    Even if it has been reported on the news for generations.

    The fight against the enemy does not end that easily.

    “You son of a bitch! It’s your fault again! Today is the day to kill!”

    On the contrary, it is not uncommon for the conflict to become deeper.

    It was the same for Eugene and Cheolsu.

    “En? Haven’t I done anything yet today?”

    “Get behind!”

    bang!

    The black sword containing Cheolsu’s magical power cuts through the air.

    First, Eugene jumped back and dodged the sword.

    It may seem extremely simple in words, but at least level A is a prosecutor’s attack called confirmation.

    It’s not easy to avoid it,

    On days when he gets hit, even Eugene’s life is in danger.

    In other words, Kim Cheol-soo had been attacking Eugene since morning with the intent to kill him.

    “Yujin, go back.”

    Secretary Park, who was trying to attend Eugene as usual, stepped forward.

    Of course, Secretary Park never thought that Eugene would lose to Cheolsu.

    However, it is also funny that a subordinate does not step forward in front of his master.

    “It looks like you didn’t even know the topic just because Eugene guessed the sum once.”

    No, to be honest, he didn’t like Cheolsu who made such an obvious attack in front of him.

    Slowly increase the magic power in your hands.

    Secretary Park glared at Cheolsu with cold eyes.

    “What’s going on? I think we decided to take a break from fighting for a while after the last incident.”

    Of course, they did not openly promise to hold a truce.

    But first, we were allies for a powerful enemy.

    It’s also funny that as soon as it’s over, he rushes in and says he’ll kill him.

    “I thought you were a more rational person and capable of making rational decisions.”

    Moreover, this also stands for withdrawal.

    Cheolsu suffered serious injuries in the last incident.

    So much so that my black hair had completely turned white.

    If I fight Eugene any longer in that state, I might die this time.

    Kim Cheol-soo’s usefulness was proven by the last incident.

    Secretary Park wanted to keep Kim Cheol-soo alive as much as possible.

    But how dare you attack the heir in front of Black Heaven’s mansion?

    It doesn’t end with just asking someone on the day they see it.

    “So say it with words, with words. Why on earth are you doing that?”

    Eugene, who was secretly hiding behind Secretary Park, asked.

    Anyway, this guy didn’t like fighting that much.

    “Not standing… … .”

    “What?”

    “Since that day, that place has not been open, you damn bastard… … .”

    There was a moment of silence between the three.

    Secretary Park opened the car door without saying a word.

    “Um, well. Let’s talk as we go. If you talk calmly, won’t your joy be doubled and your pain quadrupled?”

    Those who cut down monsters without any hesitation were ultimately men.

    There is no more important issue than this.
