Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 55

The members of the Ubermensch couldn’t help but be astonished.

“What, what is this bastard!?”

“How did you know this place?!”

“This crazy…!”

What was the identity of the iron man who suddenly appeared on the seabed, how he knew the location of the submarine, and even the dull shock a moment ago.

I couldn’t understand the situation at all.

But there were still many surprises for them.

“Keep it off!”

The figure of the iron man seemed to disappear for a moment, but suddenly an arm protruded through the wall.

“Hit!”

“Damn it!”

A colleague who was caught by the collar pulled up mana, and the other members came to the rescue.

Unfortunately, the environment was not good.

A small submarine is a space made of metal on all sides. This was also an extremely advantageous place for iron man and Kang Tae-min.

“Whoops!”

“What, what…!?”

When Kang Tae-min manifested his ability, metal flowed down and wrapped around their heads.

Not only that, but the metal stems that grew everywhere became chains that entangled their limbs.

“Now, a submarine?!”

Kang Tae-min did not stop there.

The submarine was dusted and sucked into his body.

When the submarine’s lights went out, the sea floor was enveloped in darkness.

“Hoo-wook, whoo-wook…”

Soon they realized their predicament. The only air left was the amount left in the little air pockets inside the helmets that wrapped around their heads.

‘If I stay like this, I will die.’

To survive, they had to rise to the surface. As soon as they realized that fact, they tried to splash with their feet.

Even with the limbs tied, it wasn’t difficult to splash with your feet. And Kang Tae-min didn’t just watch it.

“100 million···!”

I felt a heavy weight under my feet. I couldn’t see it because it was dark, but something, a heavy weight, was hanging from my ankle.

At this rate, it will sink. The moment of despair at that fact.

“laugh!”

“Big…!”

A dazzling light shone in front of them. The flash from Kang Tae-min’s suit was aimed at them.

He showed them the ciphertext of the Ubermensch, a cylinder that Chris had pushed into the sea.

“I will spare the codebreaker.”

Words of salvation that came out like a ray of light in this dark sea. But they didn’t straighten the lifeline.

They each turned their eyes and looked at the other colleagues.

‘Am I telling you to betray the Ubermensch?’

‘You’re going to let me out of here?’

A normal person would have taken it lightly. However, they were those who followed the ideas of Ubermensch.

‘It’s obvious that I’ll be purged anyway.’

‘I’d rather die with honor.’

The result of betrayal was terrible pain. In response, they shared their eyes and decided to commit suicide.

Of course, he wasn’t Kang Tae-min who would just leave it alone.

“No.”

Metal grew again from their helmets and opened their mouths like open mouths.

‘You can leave the ciphertext to Miss Backdoor.’

If it was a miss backdoor, deciphering the code would not be difficult.

I found a codebreaker among them only to find out the result.

“You guys who want to commit fear, pain and terror will have to be returned.”

Kang Tae-min made a metal blade and left cuts on their bodies. Dark red blood mixed with seawater and scattered.

“Ugh! Ugh…!”

“eww!”

they groaned However, the area Kang Tae-min was aiming for was far from fatal.

Kang Tae-min wanted them to live as long as possible.

‘Sometimes not knowing is more frightening.’

Their bodies then began to sink rapidly. A weight hanging from their ankles led them into the deep sea.

‘Deep sea monsters are difficult to deal with even after 10 years.’

Nesting spaces, dungeon breaks do not always occur on land. It was difficult to solve the dungeon break that occurred under the seabed, and even under the deep sea.

As a result, there are already many spaces in the deep sea that overlap with the other world, and unknown deep sea monsters lurk there.

“Ugh! Aww!”

“Aww…! Aww!”

The members of the Ubermensch also realized Kang Tae-min’s intentions.

They will become food for monsters who smell blood in the thick darkness or suffocate in the carbon dioxide they exhale.

It was not a comfortable death either way.

* * *

The Ubermensch had nine submarines in total. Kang Tae-min used a monolithic magnet to track down all of them, kill them, and land on the island.

And immediately took a picture of the ciphertext engraved on the cylinder and sent it to Miss Backdoor.

[-Where do you get these things from?]

Her reply was immediate. Taemin Kang didn’t bother to reply. I just transferred the necessary expenses to a secret account.

[-Thank you, customer.]

[-Shall we move it to the full text? Can I pass you the summary?]

I could feel the softness in Miss Backdoor’s text.

Whatever the case may be, she is an information ‘merchant’, and if you pay a reasonable fee, she will provide you with the right service.

[-abridgement.]

As soon as Kang Tae-min replied, text messages arrived one after another.

[-One. Abolition of existing plans and immediate withdrawal]

[-2. Possibility of leaking inside information, keep calm for a while.]

[-3. The leadership enforces an alternative operation, but the sponsor refuses.]

When the plan went awry due to his performance, it seemed that he was going to revise it completely.

Kang Tae-min checked the last text and frowned.

‘A sponsor?’

But soon he nodded. Even if they were small, it was impossible for a terrorist organization to have multiple submarines.

It wouldn’t have been possible if someone hadn’t supported me behind the scenes.

[-What is the identity of the sponsor?]

This time there was no immediate reply. Instead, there was a hum and the smartphone vibrated.

Kang Tae-min pondered for a while before answering the phone.

“…Isn’t there a tracking risk?”

＜It’s okay. It’s not through your relay station, but through our satellite.＞

“Why bother calling?”

＜If you text me, I’m afraid there will be a misunderstanding.＞

Miss Backdoor answered and cleared her throat briefly.

＜First of all, I will reveal my abilities a little more so that there is no misunderstanding.＞

Kang Tae-min’s eyes twitched.

‘The guy who hid information like that…’

Even though she was an excellent customer before returning, she did not reveal anything about her abilities.

But I couldn’t figure out why he was talking so rudely all of a sudden.

＜The criterion for valuing the information I trade is influence as well as scarcity.＞

“Influence?”

It’s rarity, I understand. Wouldn’t it be more valuable if it is information that others do not know?

＜Yes. Well, for example. An unemployed person living somewhere has a crush on a part-timer at a convenience store. Information like this is very scarce, isn’t it? However, it has little influence.＞

“Well···.”

＜Well, that unemployed man was a hidden illegitimate child of some conglomerate family, or that the part-timer was actually a legendary hero who came from the other world. If it’s not such an influential person, it’s garbage information.＞

“I got it.”

At Kang Tae-min’s answer, a small sound of laughter leaked out over the receiver.

＜Well, half a joke. Anyway, that’s why the Overmensch is a group with a strong influence, so the cost is high. I’m not at the level I can handle yet, so I can’t help.＞

“···I get it. I’ll check that, so focus on the Lunatic money for now.”

＜Don’t worry, I’m doing my best.＞

“Stop it.”

Taemin Kang ended the call without saying anything more.

He gazed at the calm beach, and took out a cigarette and asked, thinking of the villains who quietly sank and died.

‘Ubermensch’s terrorism was prevented.’

It was something I hadn’t been able to do before returning. At the time, he was also a student participating in the competition, and his skills were lacking.

‘There wasn’t even Bae Seung-joo, the general manager.’

Unlike now, Bae Seung-ju showed no interest in the competition. Because of this, the number of security hunters was also small.

An island isolated by the self-destruction of ordinary people caught in the dark, terrorists using a submarine to attack.

In the end, students and teachers had to fend for themselves and wait for rescuers to arrive.

-Society says we are terrorists. But what we want to achieve is a revolution!

Kang Tae-min recalled the terrorists shouting outside the dorm. Their purpose was not mere terrorism.

-Awakeners are superior. Awakeners are chosen beings. Why should we be controlled?

-Join the revolution! Lead the new world!

-If you refuse, death awaits, but if you join, glory awaits!

They threatened and coaxed the still young students. Because of this, infighting broke out between students and teachers who had to work together to endure.

‘At least Oblige was cured.’

Could it be because of the strict academic tradition? Under the leadership of Park Hyun-ah, the Oblige Academy did not fall for Ubermensch’s tricks.

So it became a clearer goal.

– Punish those who refuse to revolutionize!

-Prove your faith and your loyalty to the Ubermensch!

Obermensch demanded real proof from the appeased students. As proof of that, he had the students of Obliju Academy hunted down.

As it was, it was an obvious situation to be surrounded, and Park Hyun-ah chose to escape.

But running away together was just an ideal. The students gradually began to scatter and lost their lives.

-Oh, no···!

-Teacher!

Park Hyun-ah gradually began to crumble. Kang Tae-min watched them all from the side.

Fortunately, a rescue team arrived from the association, and Ubermensch stopped hunting and fled with his new classmates.

‘I couldn’t see him after that.’

Park Hyun-ah disappeared just like that. The surviving students, including Kang Tae-min, were recognized for their ability and were exempted from the hunter exam and acquired the hunter qualification.

‘Maybe that’s when I decided to become a villain.’

This incident must have been the trigger for Park Hyeon-ah to become a ‘ghost of color’. But I couldn’t figure out why I decided to become a villain.

‘…I’ve already stopped the terrorism, so it won’t matter.’

Kang Tae-min put the shortened butt in the ashtray and exhaled smoke.

* * *

Central to Crown Island, control tower.

Bae Seung-ju received the report with a firm face.

“…the teacher went missing?”

“Yes. It is said that Jaehyun Yang from Cheongsol Academy has disappeared.”

“when?”

“Yesterday, on the day of the opening ceremony, they say they haven’t been seen since the afternoon.”

Bae Seung-ju’s eyes twitched.

‘Then they said the terrorism had stopped. But one of the teachers is missing?’

Isn’t it too cunning to dismiss it as a mere coincidence? Bae Seung-joo’s eyes became quite serious.

“Immediately issue a search order. And Mr. Jaehyun Yang, trace the movement.”

“ancient!”

Along with the instructions, Bae Seung-joo requested Yang Jae-hyun’s profile.

‘He’s a suggestive system.’

Bae Seung-joo immediately ordered people who came into contact with Yang Jae-hyeon to investigate whether there were any traces of suggestion.

After that, reports came in one after another. It was news that traces of mana remained on the people he met.

‘… This guy was a terrorist!’

There was no reason for the teacher to hint to the general public. It was clear that they were trying to commit terrorism using them.

“Chief, the CCTV footage has been cleaned up!”

“Play it.”

CCTV images were divided and displayed on a large screen. The lines of movement were arranged so clearly that it looked like a continuous video.

“Here?”

“It’s an event venue.”

Bae Seung-ju frowned at the answer. I didn’t ask because I didn’t know the place.

“Isn’t the camera movement strange?”

“Ah, that’s… we’re figuring out the cause.”

The flowing video became unnatural after Yang Jae-hyun met with a company official at the event.

It was because the camera stopped for a long time as if it was caught on something.

Because of that, Yang Jae-hyun’s figure was not captured.

“Are you saying there are no screens captured after that?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Bae Seung-joo rubbed his chin and rolled his eyes.

‘Did you escape before being discovered? But how did you leave the island?’

Planes were docked at airports and ships were docked at ports. There would have to be other means to get off the island.

‘I’ll have to wait for the search results.’

It was still too early to make a decision. It wasn’t even very fruitful.

‘At least I can trust that renegade more.’

* * *

the next morning.

The lobby of the Noblesse Academy’s dorm was noisy unlike before.

“Really, really really! Is this principal proud of you?! How could you be so good!”

At the center of it all was Rosalyn.

It was because Lee Noah and the other students who had an individual match yesterday had a streak of victories.

“Do you know what this means!? More sponsors, better environment! And a shot at those naive old people Oh, please pretend you didn’t hear this. Hee hee.”

Rosalyn spoke excitedly, then winked and laughed.

“Hey, your reaction was amazing.”

In the meantime, Joo Da-hyun came next to Inoa and whispered. A smartphone was held in her hand.

“oh my god?”

“Uh, don’t you watch Noblely?”

Joo Da-hyun did not reveal very actively, but did a lot of community. It was through the community that I got to know Kang Tae-min in the first place.

[-Noah, I thought he was in a tank position.]

[-Judgment, quickness are all gone]

[-Are you kidding me with your swordsmanship skills?]

[-It’s different because I’m from Oble.]

[-Is it the above comment? When did Obul come out, where did you come from?]

[-I am a current student, but there was no training in all special classes.]

Certainly, most of the comments were favorable. In fact, Inoa was not interested in such evaluations, so she just laughed awkwardly.

“Oh, when are we going to do it?”

Song Dae-beom, who was next to him, grumbled. Yuyurin answered calmly.

“Team competition, individual competition is over.”

“No, I’m not saying that because I don’t know.”

“ah.”

Yuyurin nodded. Ju Da-hyun turned his head toward it.

“Anyway, I’m afraid it’s not official.”

“Who is the official? It’s because I’m bored just watching.”

“Then do you want to train? Group A’s next match is the day after tomorrow, so I have time too.”

The individual competition was divided into Groups A and B, as fatigue builds up after playing in succession.

Song Dae-beom flinched at Inoa’s words.

“Oh, no. After all, team battles and individual battles are different. Let’s cheer, cheer!”

Because he knew Inoa’s skills, there was no benefit to sticking with him. Just in time, Kang Tae-min and Lee Lua came down.

It was with the B group students who will participate in this individual exhibition.

“Group B fighting!”

“Show me, Minsu!”

“Tell me exactly what the end of the century Kwonsa is!”

If Group A had Lee Noah, Group B had Ko Min Soo.

* * *

It was enough to leave the coaching of the students to Clone. Sooner or later, I will have to stick with the students myself, but until then, it was better to work separately.

“Have you seen this person?”

“Uh, I think I saw it on the beach over there…”

Security hunters began to investigate all over the place. He’s probably looking for Jaehyun Yang.

Of course, I couldn’t let the body be found. Therefore, I disguised myself as Yang Jae-hyun early in the morning and exposed myself to CCTVs located in various places.

For the time being, the association would be busy chasing false images.

In the meantime, I planned to investigate Chris.

Although he had defeated the remnants of the Overmensch, the member who delivered the cipher text to him would still be on the island.

Chris was the clue to find him.

I disguised myself as an employee of the hostel where Chris is staying.

“Why aren’t you coming, sir?”

“You looked a bit unwell yesterday.”

“…It’s because we’ve been kicked out.”

As I entered the dorm lobby, I could hear the conversation of the students gathered in the lobby. Did I even become lazy when I didn’t have the ability?

I found his room. And soon I realized that I was wrong.

“What…”

It was an unexpected situation to the extent that words leaked out without me knowing. Chris was detected in the room, but the blood flow stopped.

I quickly unlocked the lock and entered Chris’s room.

Chris was sprawled on the bed, eyes wide open, vomiting blood and dying.

Judging by the dryness of his blood, it must have been some time since he died, and a piece of paper that looked like a suicide note was left next to it.

It was a vague message of sorry for the inconvenience, feeling responsible and apologizing.

Of course, it wouldn’t have been suicide.

It was clear that the association had created the situation so that it could be matched arbitrarily.

“Cut off the tail…”

Since the plan was stopped, a low-level person like Chris could have easily cut it.

There were other possibilities. Before returning, Irua said that there was a defector who cooperated with the association.

Maybe the renegade took care of it before Chris got away.

Either way it didn’t matter.

He would still be on this island.
