chapter 30
Academy
Yuseong didn’t think he could solve this quest in an ordinary way from the beginning.
Take the case of Earth as an example.
If local officials or members of a socially upper class family are deliberately and collectively harassing a student under the teacher’s connivance, how can this be solved?
Request? violence? Declaration?
none of them are suitable
If it had been the guys who would listen to me when I asked for it, I wouldn’t have harassed them steadily for over a year, and if I had the power to solve it with violence, I wouldn’t have been harassed in the first place, and the teachers would tolerate the situation and move on, but reporting it wouldn’t change anything.
In the end, there was only one way left.
[Pay 1,000 karma points to take out your smartphone (D)]
“Gather the evidence and blow it up.”
If it had been Earth, it would have been publicized by reporting the case to the media, but there was no media here, so I had no choice but to take the next best thing. At first, he planned to gather evidence slowly over time, but he accelerated the plan after hearing that the king would come in person to the ceremony to be held three days later.
He creates a place for professors to gather by causing a huge accident and tells about what Leon has been through so far, subtly inserting words such as ‘King’, ‘Service’, ‘Discrimination’, and ‘Strong Families vs. Weak Families’.
This was the reason why the professors who listened to Yooseong’s speech felt uncomfortable.
In the first place, it was because Yooseong was giving a speech targeting the king to watch the video, not the professors present.
‘Even though I suffered from torn flesh and broken bones, I persevered with the thought of repaying the family, His Highness, and the kingdom. However, that dream had to be shattered because of what Professor Felix dismissed as ‘personal problems’.’
“This is true. It wasn’t particularly intentional, but coincidentally, a cadet who was full of loyalty to His Majesty the King and his country was filmed as if his life was ruined by an incompetent professor. Of course, the professor and I know this isn’t true, but someone who will see this in three days I really don’t know what to think.”
“·······.”
“I···.”
It was a miracle.
What was a miracle was that he avoided Felix’s fist.
As if the video had been skipped, Felix, who had been far away, suddenly appeared in front of his nose and swung a fist the size of a child’s head.
Fain!
It feels like my bones are shaking only with the wind pressure.
An attack blown to kill himself without a doubt.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Yuseong hurriedly opened his mouth, but the report of blocking Felix’s second fist made him realize that surviving first was a priority.
‘can not avoid!’
It is already in a situation where the posture is disturbed while avoiding the first attack that flew by unexpectedly.
If he avoided the second attack, even the posture he was maintaining would be completely destroyed, and he would die without even screaming at the third attack, so he had to take this attack at all costs.
Dark Moon 16th. clearing the mountain.
A simple but powerful punch that gathers all of the body’s strength and pours it into a single volume.
At the cadet level, this was more than enough, but Yooseong, who felt the aftermath of Felix’s attack just before, realized that there was no choice with this and added one more skill.
strength enhancement.
A skill that uses mana to raise physical abilities for a short period of time.
The meteor’s fist, which accelerated in an instant, passed the point where Felix’s fist could reach its maximum power and shot forward.
“Ouch!”
The meteor bounced back with an impact like being hit by an oncoming car.
I could feel the fishy taste of iron in my mouth and the bones all over my body felt cold, but there was no time to rest.
‘Three strikes? 이 또라이 새끼가! You don’t have to give me a minute to talk!’
In order to block Felix’s second fist, I poured all the strength and mana of my whole body without leaving a drop, but I thought that the third punch would come flying without stopping.
Yooseong gnashed his teeth as he looked at his fist wrapped in a blood-red aura, as if he was determined to put an end to it this time.
‘Damn, I knew he wasn’t normal, but I would have thought he was a guy who went out of his way to the point of killing students all of a sudden. Aiming for a second chance by using the re-challenge ticket… No, it’s too early to give up. There must be some way. Something···’
In the slowed down time, Yoosung once again punched out.
Felix’s fist with an aura and the fist of a meteor stained with blood.
The winner and the loser seemed clear to anyone, and their fists finally collided.

Jjoong!
“What?”
Embarrassment escaped Felix’s mouth.
The fist, which had the power to pierce even an iron plate by enclosing an aura, was blocked by a bare fist made of flesh and blood without even an aura.
‘What is this?’
Felix inadvertently raised his head at the absurd situation in which the common sense he had accumulated so far was shattered, and stopped moving when he saw the dim golden eyes. The first gap after the battle started, and Meteor did not miss that moment.
“Even if you kill me now, the situation cannot be rectified. You don’t think that the thing in my hand is the only evidence, right?”
“… what the hell is that?”
“It’s a magic tool that can store images and sounds. Not only the meeting just before, but everything I’ve been through at the academy has been recorded.”
“all?”
“Yes. Everything.”
“I can’t believe it. There’s no way that’s possible.”
“You don’t have to believe it. No matter how much the professor denies it, the existence won’t disappear.”
mix lies with truth
Felix’s momentum slowed down at the situation where he had already confirmed that the previous trial had been fully recorded, the first thing he had seen and the confident attitude of Yoosung.
“In addition to the magic tool in my hand, someone has another magic tool that records the trial from just before and everything I have been through. If I die or disappear, someone will hand the magic tool to His Highness, I promised you.”
“There’s no way there are two magic tools like that, and if there’s a real one, there’s no reason to tell me about it. I think I tried a trick to live somehow, but I can’t fool this body with such superficial thinking.”
“If you think it’s a lie, just kill it.
“… You damn bastard!”
A fist thrust through the head with curses.
However, Felix’s fist stopped right in front of his nose with a gap of paper.
“If you’re going to kill me, kill me quickly.”
Awesome!
Felix, who saw the eyes that did not shake the slightest even though death was right in front of his nose, gnashed his teeth and gathered his fists. As a special mercenary, he spoke of the accumulated experience of dealing with and observing numerous human groups.
that’s real
The eyes of a man who truly has no fear of death.
‘I’m convinced that it doesn’t matter if I die in truth. Does anyone really have a magic tool like that?’
Seeing Felix’s hesitation, Yooseong started hunting as skillfully as a hunter who found his prey.
“In terms of nature, I just want to give this magic tool to His Highness and make the cadets who bullied me and the professors who ignored me pay for it… but like I said before, I want to negotiate.”
“Negotiation?”
The words I heard with one ear and flowed with the other now looked like a rope that came down from the sky.
“As you may have guessed, Professor, the aftermath of the disclosure of this magic tool will be enormous. The honor of all those involved will be thrown into the dung and will incur the wrath of Your Highness.”
“·······.”
“But in that case, I’d get little else than the satisfaction of getting my revenge. No, to be precise, I might get a reparation, but I wouldn’t be able to keep it.”
In a fleeting moment, Yooseong grinned as he saw Felix’s lips rising faintly.
‘Even if you talk like a dog, you can understand it perfectly. I must have noticed it sooner or later, right?’
As Yuseong guessed, Felix spoke in a slightly milder voice than before.
“…Probably so. The families of the cadets involved in this incident will never stand still.”
Even if the king, who learned of this incident, punished the officials involved, there was a high possibility that it would end in a fine and a loss of honor at best. No matter how seriously the king took this matter and was angry, it was because the number of students involved, the families they belonged to, and the number of professors were too large and their influence was strong.
“I won’t be able to move right now because I’m paying attention to Your Highness, but as time passes and Your Highness’s interest fades, the cadets and families who have been harmed by this incident will try to take revenge on you and your family.”
“That’s right. And that conflicts with my dream of restoring the Vermund Kwonbeop and reviving the family.”
“It’s a very difficult thing. If justice is established, the victim cannot receive proper compensation, and it is impossible to ignore justice to compensate the victim, so no matter…”
“Wouldn’t it be necessary to negotiate?”
As they exchanged glances, the two immediately smiled without saying who was first.
* * *
“I’m going to go now. The night air is getting cold, so go back to your inn and rest.”
“Professor, please be careful.”
Yoosung looked at the back of Felix walking with brisk steps and smiled when he saw the red water bottle placed on his palm. I would never have thought that the person who just a moment ago was rushing at me with a tremendous amount of life force would even give me a potion to take care of my health.
Although it is a worldly story, I couldn’t help but laugh at that huge gap.
-I didn’t expect you to negotiate here.
‘I can’t help it. I wasn’t sure I could show this video to the king’
If the king sees the video inside, he will of course punish those involved.
Yes.
It’s ‘when you see it’.
When a mere academy cadet approached the king, the one and only absolute in this country, and pointed out an unknown magical tool and asked to see it, how likely was it that the king would obediently obey?
Even approaching nearby was likely to fail due to the escorts, let alone show.
‘Felix would have known. But it’s not for nothing that the saying “one in a million” is used, so he probably didn’t want to take the risk.’
I don’t know how things would have gone if he had shown a weak side, but Yooseong showed his determination that he didn’t care if he died, and that made Felix step down.
He made Felix accept the fact that there could really be another magic tool, that he had prepared a plan in advance so that the truth could be known in some way even if he died, and that the penalty he would receive in return for taking his anger out on just one cadet was too great.
‘Besides, if we don’t negotiate, we can’t guarantee what will happen after I leave.’
If it is simply to reduce or eliminate the bullying, then it is enough to just blow it up without thinking about the aftermath.
However, Yoosung’s goal is clearing the SSS rank.
In order to make up for the reduced score due to the use of two-dimensional skills and artifacts, the fate change rate had to be raised to 100% or more, and for that purpose, a perfect or better result had to be created.
‘If each student receives about 100 gold coins, 8,600 gold coins. No, you have to get all the other perpetrators as well, right? Hey, how many exactly have you bullied so far?’
-Dae. Wouldn’t it be roughly 200 people?
‘Then it must be about 20,000 gold coins. That’ll help raise your family, right?’
-···Perhaps so, right?
‘In addition, while negotiating with other professors while walking around tomorrow, if I say a word to you to pay attention to your grades, the evaluation will be better…’
-That, isn’t that a negative?
‘why? no?’
-···It’s not that I don’t like it.
I couldn’t come to my senses.
The problem that had been going on for the past year, which was thought to be impossible to solve, was solved neatly in just one day, and even a dream came true.
– To think that you went through so much trouble with a problem that could be solved so easily…
‘It must have been very easy. Do you think you can solve it by yourself without me?’
– Kuhm.
Yooseong laughed while chatting with Leon.
All that was left was to reap the beauty of the species.
