Became a Human Rights Advocate

chapter 14



14 – Episode 4. Special Section.

<2>

The central district of Academy City.

Unlike other districts, which are mostly filled with schools and living facilities, the central district is home to several businesses.

Naturally, several facilities for businesses were created in the central district. One of them is the multipurpose seminar hall, which is used for multiple purposes.

In the Seminar Hall, which can accommodate up to 200 people, students were standing on the streets sparsely.

None of the thirty or so people is talking to each other. Contrary to the usual friendly atmosphere of the seminar hall, the air cooled down and became stiff.

‘Only bloody bastards….’

‘I feel like I’m choking to death.’

‘They’re all from the ‘Special Department’.’

More than half of the people sitting here belong to the top 4 prestigious families. As these schools are actively interacting with each other, everyone’s faces seemed familiar to each other.

They were closer to heroes than anyone else in the current academia. Elites who each appeared in the Accademia Student Daily at least once.

However, just as there is a jade that shines the most in a place where jade stones are gathered, there were a few who stood out in particular among these 30 people.

Hee-Rin Chae is an A-ranked pyrotechnic who handles white flames from Qingming.

Suisei Kasuga is the vice-president of Edelweiss’ student council and a B-ranked swordsman.

6Th place at Central First High. Nicola, an A-rank psychopathic magician who handles things in tons.

And Baek So-so, one of the hottest rookies recently, who was recently promoted to grade A.

But it wasn’t these four that created the icy atmosphere in this seminar hall.

Even those four, who wouldn’t easily be pushed anywhere in the academia, a man who could make them nervous is standing with his back against the wall.

The man had his back against the wall, his arms crossed and his eyes closed.

He is a B grade guy, but he has a fancy nickname.

Lord of the Back Alley, Mad Dog of Accademia, Bloody Armor, and more.

This is the most popular way to call it.

Alex from the stun gun.

‘Lee Si-hyeok.’

Alex frowned at the thought of a man he had recently met.

‘The strange cube he gave me. That’s probably his ability.’

When I received it, I wanted something, but it turned out to be an amazing ability.

I just held it in my hand, but it had the effect of increasing more than twice the usual output.

A rare support ability that is probably extremely hard to find even in this academia.

Surely, that devilish woman deserved to be taken care of.

In fact, Lee Si-hyeok’s strength is not the ability to end up being worthy of taking care of him.

An ability that could change the game for the entire human race against Academia and even the Irregulars. If information about him leaked out, it was clear that he would attack from all sides.

But Alex’s thoughts didn’t reach that far. He was Alex with a natural flair when it came to fighting, but he wasn’t very smart about anything else.

Instead, what he was focusing on now was something else.

‘It was my first time seeing a guy like that.’

People who saw Alex have two different reactions. Fight or avoid. Both were actions based on ‘fear’.

But Lee Si-hyeok was different. He has joked nonchalantly with Alex, even taunting him.

Maybe it was the confidence that came from Alex wearing the necklace of obedience.

However, even if he knew that Alex was shackled, the only student in the academia who would dare to come forward would be Lee Si-hyeok alone.

In the first place, Alex’s attribute is ‘lightning’. It means that if the tap turns, you can neutralize the entire necklace and fight with all your might.

Of course, it wasn’t an easy choice for Alex either, knowing what would happen after that. If it’s not for a reason that Ju Ji-young can understand, he’ll end up in juvenile detention again.

Nevertheless, Lee Si-hyeok acted like that, and even asked Alex to shake his hand first.

Alex was taken aback as this was the first time such a case had happened, but looking back on it, it wasn’t such a bad feeling.

‘Mysterious guy.’

Meanwhile, near Alex, there was a woman with tension all over his body.

She said the woman’s name is Issei Kasuga. She is the vice-president of the student council at Edelweiss Academy and the third daughter of the Kasuga family, famous for their heroic family.

‘When the time comes, if I don’t subdue this thug… !’

Edelweiss is basically a closed school with little interaction with the outside world. When rumors from the outside enter the school of such a girl, they are amplified and distorted several times more than usual.

The rumors Suisei had heard about Alex were far more exaggerated than they really were, and his image was already an axis of evil within her.

‘A man who captures students and sells them as slaves, and enjoys drinking and drugs. How could a man like this enter the special department!’

She feared that she too might be captured, but her sense of justice overcame her fear, so she stood still.

And she’s one of those women who glared at Suisei like that.

‘Kasuga Suisei.’

Cheongmyeong Chae Heerin hated Edelweiss. As she had come from the bottom up, the girls playing her little girls were not to my liking.

And among them, Chae Hee-rin hated Suisei the most.

Last year.

Chae Hee-rin competed as a promising rookie in the exchange match between the four prestigious families.

While winning the tournament, she met Suisei in the quarterfinals and was defeated.

The defeat itself was not painful. Because despite countless defeats, she climbed up to where she is today with just one grit.

However, she couldn’t stand the arrogant advice given to her by the Edelweiss girl whose head had become a flower garden.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to get rid of poison a little more? Ha, you’re laughing.’

When she thought of her memories of last year, Chaehee Rin’s heart boiled. She also didn’t like that attitude of not noticing her blatant gaze.

In reality, he didn’t even notice Chae Hee-rin’s gaze because he cared about Alex.

After staring at Suisei’s face for a while, Chae Hee-rin’s eyes went down a little.

Her self-assertion was enormous, and the school uniform was being squeezed as if two huge culprits were about to explode.

Chaehee Rin, frowning, lowered her gaze to her own chest. Seeing her own shoes looking straight ahead, Chae Hee-rin’s annoyance came rushing over her.

‘Anyway, each b*tch I don’t like.’

Inadvertently, the atmosphere of silence created by Alex was making the air in the seminar hall heavier and heavier.

How long has it been?

When the promised time finally arrived, the door to the seminar hall opened with a squeaking sound.

The one who stuck her head out-

<2>

‘What is that guy?’

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen this face.’

‘Where is that school uniform? Was there a school like that?’

The moment they saw Lee Si-hyeok, a male student with a messy hair, such a question popped up in everyone’s head.

“Senior, you are late!”

“Sorry. On the way home, her cell phone went off.”

“Because I use such an old phone, the battery is running low. Well, it’s just right for the level of seniors.”

The much-talked-about rookie, Baek So-so pretended to know. And nearby, another figure approaches Lee Si-hyeok.

“Nice to meet you, this is the first time since I owe you the last time.”

“Hey, long time no see.”

“… Senior?”

Baek So-so looked at the faces of Su Isei and Lee Si-hyeok alternately, then she grabbed Lee Si-hyuk’s arm and pulled him back for a while.

“Senior, are you sure you know him?”

“By the way.”

“That’s not the case, senpai! Vice Chairman of Edelweiss! A young lady with both literary and military skills! The object of admiration of the female students of Academia! Kasuga is Suisei-san!”

“… Did you?”

Of course, there was no way Lee Si-hyeok knew such a detailed story. Baek So-so poured out her words to Lee Shi-hyeok as if excited, and Su Isei stood next to her, hesitantly, as if embarrassed.

A big question mark appeared in the minds of those watching the skit.

Who the hell is that guy named Lee Si-hyeok, and he is so friendly with those two?

That question did not last long. Because Alex, who had been silent, finally moved.

Alex took her steps with great strides and approached Lee Si-hyuk.

“It’s been a while, Lee Si-hyuk.”

Alex opened her mouth with a grin.

‘Alex knows the name?’

‘I wish you good luck.’

‘What the hell did you do to get that stun gun to shoot you?’

Everyone looked at Lee Si-hyuk with pitiful eyes. It was never a good thing that the stun gun remembered the name.

“It’s a bit short to call it a long time, maybe just oil?”

“That’s enough.”

However, Lee Si-hyeok, the person in charge, seemed to have no idea. As if he didn’t know who was in front of him, he had a defenseless attitude.

As if to cover Lee Shi-hyuk, Suisei stood between them.

“What are you doing with Sihyuk?”

“Huh? What are you interfering with?”

In an instant, sparks flew between the two. The atmosphere is on the verge of a fight as if a fight would break out at any moment.

In between the two, where everyone’s eyes were focused, Lee Si-hyeok suddenly intervened.

“Ah, sorry. Because he doesn’t know what.”

Lee Si-hyeok pulled Alex and slightly bowed his head to Suisei. Everyone froze at the surreal sight.

‘Am I crazy?’

That thought popped into everyone’s heads at the same time.

However, it was the result of common sense judgment for Lee Si-hyeok.

‘How a 3 star beats a 4 star.’

In Lee Si-hyeok’s head, if the two fight, Suisei was the winner. That’s why he tried to protect Alex by immediately blocking Suisei.

“…What are you doing right now?”

“Please be quiet. Because I stopped it.”

“Block?”

Alex asked Lee Si-hyuk with a dumbfounded expression.

Suisei was flustered as well.

I went out to protect Lee Si-hyuk from Alex, but Lee Si-hyuk, the person in charge, was trying to protect Alex.

It was Alex’s boisterous laugh that got rid of the question mark symbol that popped up in everyone’s head.

Alex held his stomach and laughed so much that he almost burst into tears, then lightly patted Lee Si-hyuk on the back as if he was having fun.

“There, Edelweiss woman.”

“… Yes?”

“No need to worry. We are both friends is not it?”

Lee Si-hyeok closed his eyes for a moment as if thinking about it, then nodded his head.

“Yes, I think we are friends.”

“That’s right… That’s right.”

It was only then that Suisei let go of his guard.

When the situation finally came to an end, Lee Si-hyeok sighed and looked around him.

A white cow runs away and clings to the opposite wall, trembling. As if relieved, Suisei sweeps down her huge chest. Alex wrapped his arm around Lee Shi-hyeok’s head and laughed.

Aside from them, there were about 30 other people scattered throughout the hall. Some were new faces, but most of them were familiar to Lee Si-hyeok.

Several simulations passed through the mind of Lee Si-hyeok, a third-year user of Legend of Academia. Initial performance, potential, each specialized area, useful combination, etc.

And soon after, Lee Si-hyeok came to a conclusion.

‘It’s almost time for a re-sema.’

Joo Joo-young’s special department was a garbage collection point.
