The Academy’s Time Limit in a Novel Written by a Friend

chapter 28



28 – Episode 28 Heroes always appear late. (2)

Ah, this is ‘strong’.

Although the five organs are twisted and dancing poppin’, the situation itself was very satisfactory.

Judging from the stunned faces of not only our psychopath Jin Gyeong-tae, but also the abducted students, he probably won’t attack again easily.

To be honest, I was a bit surprised too.

I didn’t expect monsters to die just because I strengthened my bug-repelling equipment with magic waves.

Sometimes, I used to say that I was near omnipotent, but now I finally realized it.

Maybe it feels like it’s not grade A for nothing?

“That’s amazing. I don’t know exactly what kind of talent it is, but just looking at the output at the moment it was just shown, I can’t compare it to this year’s co-chiefs.”

He was acting as if he had seemingly regained his cool, but he was still obviously agitated.

“However, not taking out my men in one shot with that power is a limiting power.”

He frowns a little here.

“That’s probably why you provoked me. Maybe your power is the kind of talent that can only react to the opponent’s attack with a penalty instead of a strong reinforcement line?”

This time I have to put on a little surprised face.

If you do it for too long, you will get suspicious on the contrary, so the point is to do it for a very short time.

“A child is definitely right. I am quite good at managing my expression, but at that level I can see even the slightest changes.”

Yes, no. I showed you on purpose.

It was easier to trick those semi-smart guys who thought they were super smart.

The more people like that, the easier it is to be confident in the answer they deduced.

“This is difficult. Since we have a numerical advantage, it is unlikely that we will be able to break through if we want to break through, but if the reinforcements you called arrive before that, it will be over.”

“Why don’t you embroider? It’s still an attempted murder, so it won’t be long before you live.”

“hahahaha, I finally decided to live honestly with myself, but I can’t. I don’t know if I saved at least one student, but if I don’t, won’t there be any regrets?”

“Really? Then I was easily beaten and captured.”

He held out his hand towards me, giggling at how funny it was.

“Hey, student Sohyeon, don’t you want to trade? I’m a professor myself, so I have a last resort, but in fact, I don’t really want to use it.”

As I am familiar with the setting book, I know very well that it is sincere, not bluff.

In the original work, he laughed at Lilac, saying, “I already have no regrets.” The trump card he didn’t use must still lie in his arms.

“A deal?”

“If you concede the one Miss Kim Ga-eul you hate the most, I’ll let you live. How is it?”

I had no intention of accepting that crazy deal he offered.

“Hey, that’s an offer that only works when you have an advantage. There’s something I just showed you. What’s wrong with doing that?”

Actually, until just now, at least the rustling guys behind me might have been a bit grumpy, but after seeing me slaughter the bugs, the eyes that looked at me were full of faith.

“That’s because if I keep my promise, I’ll be sure to save all the other hostages. And honestly, don’t you feel like taking revenge on Miss Kim Ga-eul who bullied you? Wouldn’t anyone be blaming now?”

“Yeah, I don’t feel like taking revenge.”

“To be honest…”

“Not everyone in the world has shady and gloomy hobbies like you.”

“Now, that trick doesn’t work.”

Yeah, what kind of trick is that, you bastard. There is no such thing. If I do the same thing again, I will really die.

“This doesn’t work.”

Of course, I only had that thought in my head.

“Sorry. Then, in the end, you have to write this.”

The guy who said that smiled with an expression of no regret and pulled out a small gourd-like object from his bosom.

“Since you don’t know what this is, you must be teasing your mouth like that. Anyway, if you know what this is, you’re a little…”

“Loneliness, right? It wasn’t officially made, but it was a test piece made by having the poisonous insects you tamed fight each other, right?”

When I told him that he knew everything, his face, which pretended to be relaxed, contorted again.

Aww, at least there’s nothing I don’t know about in important settings.

Solitude.

Originally, it is a Chinese sorcery that makes small animals or poisonous insects fight in a jar and uses the last remaining one to cast a curse or a ban, but like in other novels, in this novel, the curse of loneliness is closer to making a chimera than a curse. It is a skill.

In that small vial lives the poisonous insect that he did his best to raise, and its poisonous poison has the power to knock out quite a few heroes with a single blow.

“…Are you saying you really don’t know anything? No, if you know, how can you come out with that attitude?”

“Well? If you are curious, where did you open the bottle? But will you be okay? You can’t fully control it.”

Yes.

He says that gourd is like a trump card, but in reality he made it and sealed it away because he couldn’t deal with the loneliness that had turned him into a monster far beyond his dominance.

“I bet you, if you open it, you’ll eat your bugs before we do, because of the memory of eating your own people? And you will try to break through the restrictions that prevent you from growing as a whole.”

I’m not lying.

It was written that way in the setting book, and there was actually an episode in which the confiscated solitude later fell into the hands of another villain and grew into a complete body.

If he tries to release the bottle of solitude now, he will only lose his power.

It’s me, it’s a great welcome because it’s easier to keep one strong one from approaching than to have several attacking from all sides.

Lilac will struggle a bit to fight in person, but what about the main character? There must be a trial, and if you raise the original protagonist too comfortably in the ice water, you won’t be able to use your strength later.

“…There is a lot of talk about whether the most outstanding freshmen at Reallan Academy are Cheonyuhak or Lilac, but I need to add one more candidate.”

Well? Right now, as a possessor, I might look good, but maybe even after a year, I won’t be able to say anything like that.

Wouldn’t it be a bit difficult to catch up with the two main characters in the second half even if I stole the abandoned setting or the villains and ran amok?

Well, but right now, it was necessary to maintain that evaluation in order to raise his vigilance.

“You know. Mr. Sohyeon.”

Mr. Sohyeon? Not a cadet?

“If you don’t like trading, would you like to work with me?”

What do you mean…? Are you crazy…?

“No, after thinking about it, it’s because Sohyeon thinks this side would suit her better than the other side. Actually, I was scouted a while ago. I turned it down because it looked like there was no possibility, but I feel like it would be possible if Sohyeon was there.”

Ah, by the way, the organization that the bastard rejected is the new member who is soon to seduce Professor Park Ah-ram, who is in charge of our basic magic science.

“I really want to, but do you know about the organization that contacted me?”

“Well? What do you think?”

“If you look at it with common sense, there is no way you would know. But I think you know from my hunch. How is it in reality?”

“I’m not going to answer you, bastard. Think how you like

“Really. It’s a waste of time, So-hyeon, don’t ever take the provocation class next year.”

The bastard raised the bar.

“Are you really going to do it?”

“Yes, I am a professor in my own way, but what will the cadets think of other professors if they suffer this far?”

“Yes, try it.”

“Cadet Kang So-hyun. From my point of view, cadets are quick-witted and talented. I think it’s a great cadet. But maybe it’s because I’m still a cadet, so I don’t think I have enough experience.”

“…What?”

“The cadet is right. My solitude has grown to a point where it’s a little too much for my talents to handle, and I can’t deal with it. However, there is not necessarily only one way to deal with monsters.”

He looked behind me.

“For example, what if I sprayed my cadets who had fainted with a scent similar to Solitude’s favorite food? Conversely, what if I sprayed my insects with a scent they dislike? I mentioned it in class, but it’s hard to resist scents that are instinctively attracted to monsters in the form of insects or beasts.”

A valid strategy.

And it was also a strategy that did not come out when fighting Lilac in the original work because there were no hostages.

If that statement is true, it’s not even a single shot, but it’s a pretty dangerous situation.

“Cadet Kang So-hyeon is strong and will survive, but the other cadets should give up. We can’t all die together, can we?”

But, unfortunately, I wasn’t scared at all.

It’s to the point where I want to show myself relaxed.

Befitting a third-rate villain who had committed a crime for the first time, he was taking his time as if he was already confident of winning.

“Hey, aren’t you like that?”

“Yes?”

I deliberately took my time and spoke as leisurely as possible.

“When is the moment people are most careless.”

“…Well? It’s probably when you think you’ve won and you’re arrogant, right? Am I saying that now?”

“I know that.”

I can hear it.

I couldn’t hear it from others, but I could clearly hear the footsteps of the guy running towards this place as I secretly raised my senses a little with reinforcement.

“There is no such thing as a sane bastard who always chatters while fighting. You jerk.”

The guy has arrived.

Yes, even though countless misfortunes hit him in the original work, and sometimes he faced situations that seemed insurmountable, he always appeared in front of the villain.

And no matter how strong the enemy is, he eventually defeats the enemy with scars.

Academy Water Main character Special Pretend to be late, but never be late at an important moment.

From now on, anyone other than me will be able to hear its footsteps.

A strategy I don’t know? Those things lose their meaning the moment he arrives.

The reason he despaired of Jin Kyung-tae in the original work was only because the incident had already happened, and the people who could have been his friends died. There was no

Finally he reached the door.

Jin Kyung-tae’s expression rotted away and he tried to free himself from loneliness, but it was too late.

The kick of the guy who broke down the door…?

Yes. A splendid kick kicked the guy off the arm holding the bottle.

By the way, kicks?

A lilac?

“Is everyone okay…!?”

The voice I heard was a woman’s, too thin to be called lilac’s.

It was surprisingly our secret friend who saved us.

Cathy Nunna, why are you out there…?

A lilac…?

*

Cathie The reason why she was able to arrive at the scene faster than anyone else Kang So-hyun texted is simple.

This is because she was in the director’s office inside the academy when she received the text message in the first place.

Nevertheless, the moment she received the text, her hair turned white and her body was already moving.

Let’s calm her pounding heart and examine the scene. Fortunately, there are no victims yet.

At the point when the professor inside the academy did something like this, I can’t say it’s absolutely fortunate, but it’s better than having a victim.

Even in the midst of that, she was anxious and looked at the person who sent the text message to her.

The fact that everyone else was imprisoned meant he was dealing with the professor, and judging from the broken gadgets scattered on the floor and the oddly tired look, it was clear he was using his talents again.

I inadvertently put strength into my fist.

I was trying to keep an eye out for this to happen, but I made the cadet, who was barely recovering, use her strength again.

In the meantime, it would have been enough for that child to run away or call for help, but why did he block the way while still a cadet?

Looking at the wavering look at me when I arrived, it must have been very frightening.

“I’m fine now. Cadets. Be at ease.”

“Professor Cathy!”

The cadets’ faces brightened as if they were relieved that they were now alive.

“Um, cadet Kang So-hyun. Are you disappointed? Of course, the reinforcements called is Professor Cathy. She’s not compatible with me. You know very well that she is a person-to-person specialist and not suited to one-on-one combat, right?”

Meanwhile, while she was protecting the cadets, Jin Gyeong-tae opened her mouth.

After hearing that, the cadets’ expressions darkened again, but they smiled to reassure them.

“Professor Jin Gyeong-tae. No, Hyung-tae Jin. If you surrender now, I will arrange for you to appoint a lawyer.”

“Professor Cathy, don’t you remember losing to me before? When I’m dealing with adults, I don’t look at them. At least you’re pretty good for an adult, but I don’t like you either.”

“If you think the same way as I did then, you will get a serious nose injury?”

“You are a hero whose growth has already reached its limit. An A-rank chin-up hero who is good at dealing with one strong individual, but incapable of dealing with a large number of weak individuals. Isn’t that you?”

“If you think so, where are you going?”

The way she held her posture and clenched her fists didn’t look much different from before, at least to others.

A hero whose growth has already reached its limit.

That wasn’t entirely wrong.

A mere month ago, she would have agreed.

But she now remembers the fragments of the state she reached that day, and she, who has practiced following the movements, has advanced a little bit more than when she competed with Jin Gyeong-tae in the past.

To say that she had reached her level and had grown up, albeit very minutely, meant that she had become a completely different person from that day.

Her fist stretched out, and at the same time as the sound of the wind, the heads of five rushing centipedes exploded at the same time.

“Is this all?”

She was facing a slightly late period of growth.
