Chapter 29

Kong Gong-hyeon and his friends shouted evil.

“Help me!”

“There are people here!”

“Sir Baal! Save people!”

If they were in the mountains, there would be an echo, but where they were was in the empty air.

Even the height was so high that no one could hear their voices.

No, there was one.

An iron man in a suit fell onto the bonnet with a thump. The four of them were frightened by his sudden appearance.

“What, what!?”

“What the fuck…!”

“Hey, screw it up!”

The driver and Kong Ki-hyeon, who were sitting in the front seat, raised mana to respond immediately.

However, iron man Kang Tae-min was faster than him.

With a crackle, the vehicle compressed and turned into mud. Along with him, the bodies of four people were buried in the car.

“town···!?”

“town?!”

Moreover, his mouth was blocked so that he could not scream any further. Only then did the four of them realize that the cause of this situation was Kang Tae-min.

“You really live without thinking.”

Kang Tae-min was absurd. No matter how thoughtful a person may be, he will not be without thoughts.

“That won’t happen, but if I die, this sports car will crash right away. Of course, you guys will also become a mass of blood.”

Your eyes widened wide. I don’t want to have to say this, but it seems like I’m listening.

Kang Tae-min checked Kong Ki-hyun’s karma log again.

[Karma Log]

[Name – Kong Gi-hyun]

[Alignment – Evil (-97)]

[Evil Karma Activities (in descending order)]

[> Embezzlement of Public Funds (-20)]

Even if you searched for the greatest evil, embezzlement was at best, and most of it was malicious coercion and intimidation.

Then his gaze turned to the other three. All were at the same level.

In fact, the story we talked about in the restaurant’s private room was nothing more than a bluff. It was just pretending to be strong so as not to be tricked by other friends.

In reality, he was at the level of a bully in the neighborhood.

‘Once the accident was prevented.’

Families who would have been in an accident would have already returned home. The biggest sin these four would have committed, a drinking accident, was a situation in which Kang Tae-min prevented it.

If so, what should be done with them? Can they be held accountable for the evil deeds committed before the return that have not been accomplished now?

Taemin Kang has already put down the answer to this question.

“From now on, I will answer my questions one by one. Answer yes or no.”

At the sound of Kang Tae-min’s voice, the four of them trembled and blinked their eyes. Completely bound, the only thing they could move was their eyelids.

“First, do you consider yourself a good person?”

It was a short question. However, the eyes of the four people shook quickly.

What kind of question is this?

‘Could it be that they kill me if I answer incorrectly?’

‘Mi, he’s crazy.’

‘What the fuck…!’

‘Psycho bastard…!’

It didn’t take long to think. Kang Tae-min crossed his finger and made the driver answer first.

“Yes, I am… up!”

“Yes, no.”

Kang Tae-min took turns listening to the answer one by one. Lastly, everyone, even Kong Ki-hyeon, answered that they are good people.

‘I lived.’

‘Yes was the correct answer.’

It was because the driver didn’t do anything else after he said yes first.

“Second, will you live a good life in the future?”

It was an easier question this time. Who would answer no to this question?

However, Kang Tae-min made each person answer one by one. Everyone said yes.

‘Is this the end now?’

‘What the hell is this psycho doing?’

‘Fuck, whatever is fine, please…’

Taemin Kang looked at them blankly. The third question did not come up.

He opened their mouths. Then, with a clanking sound, the suit’s helmet disappeared, revealing his face.

“Go, Kang Tae-min…!?”

“what···?!”

The four people who saw that face were startled as if they had seen a ghost. It was only natural that the teacher they bullied was in control of life and death.

“Sorry, sorry, sir! I-I never meant to do that!”

The quick-witted driver hastily apologized. The title of teacher came out of nowhere.

“No, that’s right! That bastard, Gong Gi-hyeon, took the lead!”

“Oh, you know. That son of a bitch! We couldn’t resist!”

The two friends who were sitting in the back seat also quickly added their words. The intention was obvious.

They planned to put the blame on Kong Ki-hyeon and escape.

“what? You fucking bastards! When do you guys say it’s fun too!?”

Kong Gong-hyun’s bloodshot eyes returned. Aren’t your friends trying to sell themselves out?

In my heart, I wanted to kill it, but my whole body was bound, and only the eyes returned.

“Eup!”

“town?!”

But the protest didn’t go any further. It was because Kang Tae-min covered everyone’s mouths again.

“No one knows why I asked that question.”

As he spoke calmly, his eyes focused. Kang Tae-min scanned them with dry eyes.

“It is not actions that separate good from evil. The important thing is people and intentions.”

Even if it’s the same action, it depends on who and with what intention. For example, when you kill someone, if the target is a good person, it is a crime, and if it is a bad person, it is a punishment.

“Evil does not call itself evil.”

The wicked think they are right, and the good question whether they are right. Because no one is perfect in the world.

Your eyes fluttered. They all replied that they were good.

“Not all the wicked have to die.”

Even evil has degrees. Not all evil deeds were ‘mortal sins’. And as he said, good and evil are not determined by actions.

“But he who wants to remain wicked deserves to die.”

Kang Tae-min checked the karma log one by one while asking questions. It was because they could find out their true intentions.

And none of the four people who answered the second question gave a sincere answer.

The words that came out of their mouths were nothing more than lies to preserve their lives, empty echoes without remorse.

“Eh?!”

Suddenly, the vehicle, now a crumpled lump of metal, began to move, and the four of them let out a shrill moan.

Taemin Kang took them to a stop on the river.

“I will leave the fate to your luck. If you’re lucky, you might live.”

Taemin Kang said that and walked away.

The door twisted open with a loud clang, and the four men were freed.

“These bastards…!”

“Oh, I couldn’t help it.”

“This shit is not wrong.”

“More than that, uh, what are you going to do? run?”

Kong Gong-hyeon opened his eyes, and the other three answered. Their relationship had long since collapsed.

But they didn’t have a choice. It was because the metal that supported them was scattering like powder.

“Breathe, prepare to hold your breath!”

“Ooh, wow!”

“It’s falling aaa!”

Four people screamed and fell. Still, as an Awakener, he will not die.

Everyone thought so.

Including Taemin Kang.

“···uh?”

A huge steel plate appeared in front of them as they rapidly fell.

A series of crackling sounds were heard, and the head exploded like a broken watermelon.

From the moment Kang Tae-min showed his face, he had no intention of letting him live. But he wanted to have hope that those four might live.

Unknowingly, despair grew only when there was hope.

The next day, the academy’s office.

“Catherine, are you okay?”

“···Yes? Oh, that’s fine.”

Katherine’s dark circles were so thick that her teachers, who were usually difficult to approach, were worried.

It was because the images of Kang Tae-min and Seol Ga-eun that I saw last night couldn’t get out of my head.

‘No, whatever relationship the two have, what does it matter to me.’

She tried to suppress her tiredness and get her thoughts out. Isn’t that what’s important right now?

‘Rather than that, somehow apologize to Teacher Kang Tae-min…’

I wondered if I should call or text even in the middle of the night. But it wasn’t like that. His sincerity was not conveyed, and it was not polite to apologize.

It was right to talk face to face.

‘The question is when and how…’

It was just my misunderstanding. I’m sorry.’ You can’t apologize in this way, can you? I thought about it all night, but no answer came.

While she was in trouble, other teachers arrived one after another. Soon after, Vice Principal Cha Dong-hyeok came in and the regular faculty meeting began.

“Today, let’s keep things a little simpler. Taemin Kang, is there anything special about it?”

Catherine was taken aback. I didn’t have the confidence to look at Kang Tae-min’s face at all. But even so, I had to be brave.

How can you apologize if you can’t even make eye contact?

“There is nothing different.”

Looking back at this, Kang Tae-min caught my eye. In addition, the face of Seol Ga-eun next to him.

Seeing the two of them broke my heart again. For some reason, Seol Ga-eun’s eyes looking at Kang Tae-min felt more friendly.

‘no it’s okay. If you apologize, it will definitely be like before…’

Under the desk, in her lap, the hand rested on her lap. Since then, the contents of the meeting have not reached her ears.

All nerves were focused only on apology and restoration of relationships.

‘I can’t do it in front of others. because it will get you in trouble After all, it would be better to do it when the two of us are alone.’

I didn’t want to draw people’s attention. It was something she didn’t want to know about, and she didn’t know if it would harm Kang Tae-min if the rumors spread.

‘It would be nice if the special class students went to the practice class like last time. I don’t even need to prepare for class…’

At that time, a yellow-haired student, Song Dae-beom, came to visit, but the two were able to talk. I only had to print class materials, so I had enough time.

‘Because you can take supplementary classes after school.’

It was difficult to call them apart after school. It feels like anew, but Kang Tae-min was sincere and he was just as busy.

‘then when? The sooner the better. today? No, is it too fast today…?’

I was suffocating at the thought of apologizing. I could feel sweat dripping from my clenched hands.

‘But will you accept my apology? I, I acted so stupid…’

Negative emotions creep up. Not only did he directly criticize Kang Tae-min, but he was also said to have put him down among the teachers and even warned Seol Ga-eun.

Would Kang Tae-min not know that? On what basis did he think Kang Tae-min would forgive him?

‘no. Again, I can’t do this again.’

Her heart, which had seemed to sink into a swamp, suddenly surged. I couldn’t have made the same mistake.

‘Even if you run away, nothing will change. I have to approach.’

The day she was being chased by an assailant, the day Kang Tae-min appeared and saved her.

Taemin Kang took her hand. But even though she might have grabbed Kang Tae-min, she couldn’t hold his hand.

They only held on to their sleeves, so the two of them fell so easily.

It had to be different now.

It was at this moment that Katherine made up her mind.

“And finally, I have some sudden news to tell you.”

Everyone’s eyes gathered at Cha Dong-hyuk’s words.

“A new student has arrived at our academy.”

“Yes?”

“Are you a teacher?”

Everyone was surprised because it was news that they had never heard of before. Originally, this was because teaching practice began with the semester.

“Yes that’s right. It’s a little late, but it’s still the beginning of the semester, so there shouldn’t be any big problems. Please welcome everyone.”

Cha Dong-hyuk said that and stood up. Then he opened the door to the classroom and someone stepped inside.

She was a beautiful woman with neatly tied back hair and a slightly cold impression. The straight two-piece suit seemed to represent her personality.

“Please briefly introduce yourself.”

At Cha Dong-hyuk’s words, she politely put her hands together and bowed her waist. Elegance and moderation were felt in every action.

“My name is Eruah, and I started practicing as a teacher. I wish you well.”

If it’s standard, it’s standard, if it’s hard, it’s a greeting that feels hard.

“Wow, nice to meet you!”

Seol Ga-eun was the first to react. As she clapped her hands and welcomed her, the other teachers also said one word after another.

“Get well in the future!”

“Oh my God, Teacher Seol isn’t the only one blessed with genes…”

“How old are you when you are a teacher? twenty two? three?”

“Maybe?”

Taemin Kang also laughed and clapped. But his eyes didn’t smile.

‘… Bae Seung-joo is the head of headquarters.’

He knew that Eruah was a member of the Association. And now, the only person who could attach a person to him was Bae Seung-ju.

One reason I was able to figure out right away.

‘I never thought I’d see you again here.’

It was because Kang Tae-min knew Lee Lu-ah before returning. But it wasn’t anything to worry about.

‘Maybe it worked out.’

Although Irua is definitely a member of the Association.

‘I’m sure we can cooperate again.’

She was also a partner in the same spirit with Iron Judgment.
