Episode 56

Bae Seung-joo washed his face dry with a short sigh.

“···Suicide?”

“Yes, the name of the deceased is Chris Herring. I am the leader of the Genius Academy.”

Instead of answering immediately, he leaned back in his chair. And he sighed deeply.

Disappearance, no, suicide following the escape of a terrorist?

“Possibility of killing?”

Bae Seung-ju asked in a serious tone.

Maybe Jaehyun Yang killed Chris while on the run.

“Right now, there are very few. There was no sign of someone breaking in, and the handwriting on the will matched the person himself.”

“Are there any traces of suggestion?”

“There is no magic wave left.”

“Hmm···.”

Expectations were wrong. Bae Seung-joo frowned and tapped the desk with his fingers.

“Who was the first discoverer?”

“Students. It didn’t come out even though it was time, so I went to the room and found it and immediately reported it.”

“Okay. For now, bring the body to the mainland and have it autopsied.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The security hunter finished his report and headed outside. Bae Seung-joo tousled his hair roughly.

“I feel like I’m stuck in this tournament.”

Bae Seung-ju was not the only one listening to the report.

“Isn’t it natural that there was a terrorist attempt?”

Rosalyn was also seated next to him. Bae Seung-joo let out a faint smile at her answer.

“Anyway, isn’t Noblesse Academy on the rise?”

“Uhh, is that the case with the general manager?”

“Isn’t it natural that we won the battle?”

“Uh hee hee, in this tournament, we will finally be able to defeat Oblige!”

Rosalyn lifted her chin and let out a laugh. But that smile didn’t last long.

“Hey, isn’t the smell of kimchi soup a joke here?”

A gentleman who came in suddenly.

He was a man in a clean gray suit with a beard growing along his jawline and around his mouth.

He was holding a smooth black cane.

“Ah, are you here?”

“Ugh, that disgusting…”

Bae Seung-joo and Rosalyn showed conflicting reactions when they saw him.

“I hear everything. Principal Rosalyn.”

“I told you to listen, but it went well! Sword Master Man!”

The gentleman’s name was Pyo Ji-hun, a hunter known as the number one swordsman. He just smiled at Rosalyn’s words and sat down.

“It’s only been a day, but since you’re eating kimchi soup the way you cook it, I’m just saying this in case you’re afraid.”

“You’re pretending!? It’s not kimchi soup! This year is really different!”

“Oblige is also different. Because my son entered the school.”

Pyo Ji-hoon responded without losing his composure. He came to the Crown not because of official duties, but because of his support as a parent.

“Ah, student Suho was also very active.”

Bae Seung-ju laughed and helped. These were not empty words, but Pyo Soo-ho’s skills were definitely extraordinary.

At that praise, Pyo Ji-hoon smiled brightly without hiding it.

“Uh-huh, I didn’t even tell you to surprise me. I can’t wait to see how much Ko will like it.”

“You can even comfort me while you’re here and go! After all, winning is Noblesse.”

“Principal Rosalyn, since you act so out of age, I didn’t entrust my son with you.”

Pyo Ji-hoon did not lose a word. Rosalyn’s eyes twitched and groaned.

“Hey, didn’t your sister tell you not to talk about your age?”

“You only call me older sister when you are at a disadvantage.”

Bae Seung-joo looked at the expressions on both sides and smiled awkwardly.

“hahahaha, it’s nice to see everyone so full of energy.”

“Hmmm, excuse me in front of the general manager. By the way, it’s a bit messy outside. Did something happen?”

At Pyo Ji-hun’s question, the faces of the two soon hardened. Rosalyn glanced back at Bae Seung-ju.

The person in charge here was Bae Seung-joo, so he handed over the right to speak.

“Umm, well… it’s something that will be revealed anyway.”

Bae Seung-joo tried to hide it, but explained the situation. Pyo Ji-hoon’s face grew serious.

“Keuheum, but the sword lord has come, so I’m relieved.”

“I came to cheer for my son, but you have a heavy duty.”

Pyo Ji-hoon checked his watch and stood up.

“If you need any help, please contact us. Now I have to go see my son’s face soon.”

His face softened at the mention of his son. As he left, Rosalyn pursed her lips and grumbled.

“Anyway, if you talk about your son, you’re out of luck. Who would believe that he is the guild leader of ‘Avalon’?”

One of the five major guilds in Korea, ‘Avalon’. Pyo Ji-hoon was the owner of not only the sword but also the guild.

“In the media, they pretend to be serious. Ugh, he’s a true master of image making. Isn’t it?”

“Well, since I grew up receiving that kind of love, wouldn’t Suho also grow up straight?”

“Tsk, if our students win, I’ll hand you kimchi soup right in front of you!”

Rosalyn burned with enthusiasm.

All Group B matches in the individual event have ended.

“Kuhup…”

“sorry.”

A loser came out of Obliju Academy. Park Hyun-ah approached the visibly sullen children.

“It’s okay, you can do better next time.”

Little by little, the students who had trembled fists and had tears in their eyes at her lithe voice calmed down.

Park Hyeon-ah, who noticed that fact, continued with a playful voice.

“Then, shall we drink comforting drinks with the teacher tonight?”

“Yes?”

“Sue, alcohol?”

The students opened their eyes wide in embarrassment. As befits the academic tradition of the Obliju Academy, the students also had a naive side.

“Originally, you learn to drink from adults.”

It was, of course, a joke. The purpose was to divert attention so as not to soak in the sense of defeat.

Although the students realized that from her tone and facial expression.

“Mmm! That’s not right!”

Pyo Soo-ho was different.

He expressed his objection with a very serious and ambitious face.

“No matter how much you have a guardian, drinking is after you become an adult!”

Although he was not originally in Group B, he came along to see firsthand the skills of his competitors.

Park Hyun-ah laughed at him.

“We all like Suho, but he is too serious about everything.”

“Ah, were you kidding! Mmm, humor is a really difficult art.”

Pyo Soo-ho looked at the joke from earlier with a serious face again. Rather, the other students smiled at that attitude.

“On the contrary, I feel energized thanks to Suho.”

“So.”

“Ah, did it help! do not worry! I will definitely win and pay back your grievance!”

Pyo Soo-ho stretched out his chest and expressed his determination. In the meantime, Park Hyun-ah secretly looked at the results of other academies.

‘Noblesse is a tradition again.’

She remembered Kang Tae-min. After drinking, I became interested and searched for it.

‘A great person both as a teacher and as a hunter.’

But that wasn’t the only reason he cared.

– It’s unfortunate.

-May the souls of the deceased refrain.

Even if the other teachers were saddened when they learned of the deaths of their students, that was the end. He didn’t feel as deeply responsible as he did.

she couldn’t Still, since he was a teacher, he believed that others would understand him.

– Teacher Hyuna, isn’t it a bit strange?

-I’m a student who hasn’t visited you since graduation.

– To be honest, you’re no different.

-Because we’re so unusual, don’t you think we’re bad people?

But no.

I understood in my head. They didn’t do anything wrong.

However, after that, Park Hyun-ah never revealed her true intentions.

I thought no one would sympathize with me.

‘He’s a teacher similar to me.’

In the midst of that, I met someone I could relate to. I couldn’t help but be interested.

“mmm!”

Lost in her thoughts, she was awakened by a familiar bullet. I turned my head and saw the Pyo Soo-ho running at its own pace.

And in that direction, there were students from Noblesse Academy, including Kang Tae-min.

“hello!”

Pyo Soo-ho greeted loudly and looked away. At the end of that line of sight was Go Min-soo, who boasted of his great size.

“Concerns, right?! My name is Pyosuho! The game, very impressive!”

Pyo Soo-ho asked for a handshake full of energy, just like Inoa’s time.

“The appearance of fighting with only bare hands without any weapons! That fighting spirit was admirable indeed! You, too, must be an opponent you can meet in the finals!”

“Su-ho!”

Park Hyeon-a hurriedly approached. She laughed awkwardly and hurriedly covered Suho’s mouth.

“Ahahahaha, nice to meet you again! Excuse me.”

At her apology, Kang Tae-min turned his eyes to Ko Min-soo.

“Was it rude?”

“I have no idea.”

Taemin Kang shook his head and smiled lightly at Hyeonah Park.

“I see. It’s not rude, so I think you can leave that hand alone.”

“Ah yes.”

The released Pyo Soo-ho looked around. However, he soon shook hands with Go Min-soo.

“Mmm! You can feel the effort! I will keep working hard!”

“as you please.”

While the two students were talking, Park Hyun-ah laughed awkwardly and opened her mouth.

“That, congratulations on the victory.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Park Hyun-ah hesitated for a moment.

‘I want to hear more about that teacher…’

I wanted to be a little more sympathetic. I wanted to make sure that my thoughts weren’t strange.

But it was difficult to ask for it easily. I also wondered if it would seem strange to ask for this reason.

‘You originally had that expression…?’

It was because Lee Lu-ah, who was behind Kang Tae-min, was glaring at her. Even at a drinking party, he had a poker face, but today his eyes seemed particularly fierce.

I won the match, but why is it like that?

Anyway, it was the moment she was about to reschedule.

“uh?”

“Hey, hey! Suho!”

Suddenly, the students were agitated and called Pyosuho. Everyone turned their heads to the commotion.

“That person…!?”

“oh!”

“Sword master.”

While Park Hyeon-ah and Iru-ah’s eyes were wide, Kang Tae-min’s eyes narrowed.

Pyo Ji-hoon smiled brightly and walked away.

“Son!”

“father!”

Pyo Soo-ho smiled as broadly as he did. He immediately jumped into his father’s arms.

Pyo Soo-ho was over 180 cm tall, but Pyo Ji-hoon was taller than him, so he could easily hold his son in his arms.

“Are you surprised my son?”

“I was very surprised! Didn’t you tell me you were coming?!”

“Uh heh heh! I didn’t tell you to do this.”

Pyo Ji-Hoon let out a big smile, probably liking his son’s surprised face.

But then, realizing that there were other people, he cleared his throat briefly.

“Are you Mr. Park? I heard a lot about it.”

“Ah, yes.”

She was greeted with a tense face.

Pyo Soo-ho did not belong to the annex class. Because of this, Park Hyeon-ah was not his homeroom teacher, and he did not have much contact with Pyo Ji-hoon.

“Are these people…?”

“Oh that···.”

“This is Kang Tae-min from Noblesse Academy.”

“My name is Irua.”

While Park Hyeon-ah was choosing her words, two people came out and said hello. Pyo Ji-hoon opened his mouth slightly and his eyes shone.

“Ah, he said he was the dark horse of this tournament. Principal Rosalynn praised her so much.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“no. Looking at the results today, it’s not even an exaggeration. I hope there will be good results until the end.”

Pyo Ji-hoon replied with a smile on his face. However, that last smile had a slightly different meaning.

“Of course, the championship belongs to my son.”

“Mmm! I will definitely win!”

“Well, then! who is my son Heh heh heh!”

Park Hyeon-ah hurried to the action of the Pyo family.

“Ahahahaha. Well, we’ll just go. Father, and the kids, let’s go quickly!”

She took everyone and left. It would have been enough to make an appointment with Kang Tae-min later.

“…It’s a pretty unique parent-child relationship.”

“It seems like a casual relationship. I think it’s good.”

Kang Tae-min replied to Lee Lu-ah’s words and headed to the dorm. However, that answer did not fully represent Kang Tae-min’s thoughts.

‘Such a good father never came.’

Before returning, Pyo Soo-ho, his son, was caught in a terrorist attack, but Pyo Ji-hun did not come here.

‘Why this time? By stopping terrorism?’

Taemin Kang shook his head.

As a clone, there were limits to what he could know.

If anything was found out, it would be the original side.

* * *

Pyo Ji-hoon came here.

I could see that very easily.

It may have been secret when he came, but after he came, he received the attention of the reporters at once.

“Pyo Ji-hoon! Please look over here!”

“Are you expecting your son to win?!”

“Please comment!”

Pyo Ji-hoon waved his hand with a serious expression over the noisy crowd. It was an obvious refusal.

“Huh, that’s the case this time too.”

“For now, let’s ask Avalon for the photos we took.”

Surprisingly, the reporters quietly withdrew. It seemed that he did not have the courage to go so far as to go against the will of the Sword Master.

Thanks to that, I was able to observe Pyo Ji-hun in the crowd.

[Karma Log]

[Name – Pyo Ji-hoon]

[Alignment – Good (+7439)]

He was obviously a good man. It must have been thanks to the achievements he made, befitting his name as a sword master.

But there was something else that caught my attention.

[Recently recorded karma activity]

[> Punish the Wicked (+150)]

The meaning was clear.

Swordsman Pyo Ji-hoon.

It was clear that he was the one who got rid of Chris and a defector from the Ubermensch.
