Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 70

After Kang Tae-min left.

Security shutters opened and a group of people entered. They finished the four weeks vigilance with skillful gestures.

“clear.”

“clear.”

“All clear.”

After the mercenaries checked each direction and finished their reports, a white man with a hard face walked out between them.

“Chief. Minsu, Mack and Dave are all dead… .”

“There are no other traumas. One shot between the eyebrows, it’s the skill of a pro.”

It was a report from a mercenary who confirmed the body’s condition. The branch manager, Edwin, stared at the wall with a rigid face.

“It’s the Ubermensch symbol.”

“Are you contacting the Association?”

No matter how much he worked as a mercenary, he could not stand above the law. The current situation was a murder case. It was the norm to entrust the investigation to the security hunter.

However, Edwin frowned.

“The blood is still warm.”

“… Yes?”

“Chase.”

“Chief, that’s… .”

Actions other than the manual were reported to the upper ranks first. As the other mercenaries hesitated, Edwin’s face turned grim.

“I do the reporting! Follow the trail!”

After shouting, Edwin grabbed his smartphone. Only then did the mercenaries quickly disperse.

“Yes, I am.”

Edwin explained the situation in a low voice.

“All involved are dead, and the Ubermensch symbol remains at the scene.”

＜… First, find the culprit and figure out the situation.＞

Permission was dropped.

Edwin answered with his eyes shining.

“All right.”

The higher ups did not want the association to intervene. Edwin already knew that.

Kang Tae-min was leisurely chasing a black van in the sky. Even though time was delayed while using the specialist’s body, tracking was not difficult.

‘It’s surprisingly slow.’

It was because the black van was driving at a constant speed and driving without a signal violation.

‘It must be so.’

Considering the stuff in the van, it was natural.

Violating traffic laws would not just result in a ticket, but it could ruin your plan.

It was after leaving the city center and going out of town that the van started to speed up.

‘About this.’

There were rice fields and greenhouses. On the other hand, it was a place where there were few people and even the light of street lamps was few.

The van entered one of the shabby warehouses. Kang Tae-min landed a little far away and detected metal nearby.

‘Are they all underground?’

Unlike the ground, which has nothing to see, the basement was large and wide. It must have been remodeled for use as a secret workshop.

‘It means they didn’t even set up security to avoid suspicion.’

Kang Tae-min cautiously approached the warehouse. There were no guards, but there were alarms.

Neutralizing it with ease, he headed underground.

‘I made it plausible.’

Full of dust and spider webs everywhere, it looked like an old, neglected cellar. Even the footprints were erased.

However, with Kang Tae-min’s sensing ability, he could not avoid detection. It was because I could feel the fully automatic opening and closing device and the door buried in the wall.

He lightly found the device and opened the secret door.

‘… You’ve prepared meticulously.’

The spacious warehouse was stocked with all sorts of things. The mana extracting devices seen at by-product processing companies were scattered, as well as magic engineering equipment.

It was clear that the items were intended to be used for the upcoming terror attack.

“Make sure to set the balance to 95%!”

As Kang Tae-min approached with silence, he heard a loud voice. Looking at it, the members of the Weavermensch were pouring the mana solution into the extraction device.

And the modified extractor was injecting mana into the core.

“It’s 95%! If this is wrong, everything will be fucked up!”

After setting the remaining mana of the core to 95%, fill the remaining 5% with mana solution at the terror point.

Then, by giving a shock to the core, it is to carry out terrorism.

Kang Tae-min had no intention of leaving the preparation alone.

“It’s done… Kuck!”

“The end… Knock!”

The metal barrel they were carrying shattered like a fragmentation grenade in an instant and hit them.

The corpse, punctured like emmental cheese, collapsed and spurted blood.

“What, what… ?!”

The ubermensch member who was giving the order raised his aura reflexively, but it didn’t help much.

It was because the equipment piled up next to him turned into slime and attacked him.

“You, you… ?!”

Then, when Kang Tae-min appeared, he was frightened and tried to escape. But it wasn’t a very good choice.

It was because Kang Tae-min solidified the liquefied metal in an instant, and his floundering body was caught in the metal frame.

“Ouch… !

With a scream, blood leaked out from the torn skin. Kang Tae-min didn’t care and walked out.

Then, the extraction device was operated normally again, and the mana stored in the core began to be extracted again.

“The frame will be reduced little by little. You’d better answer before then.”

Kang Tae-min turned around and said.

It was soon discovered that this was true. The pressure applied to his whole body gradually grew stronger, and the torn wounds were opening little by little under the influence.

“Tell me everything you know about scalers.”

“Leader, except for being a leader… .”

The answer to the question was checked with the karma log, and it was confirmed that it was the truth.

However, Kang Tae-min did not stop pressing the frame. Blood flowed from the member’s mouth with a moan.

“How did you get the order?”

“QR, QR code has been sent… !”

He pointed at the smartphone lying next to him with a wink. The scaler splits the cipher text into a web page and transmits the address as a QR code.

Of course, the webpage is gone now. Even so, Kang Tae-min was not disappointed.

‘There must be something I can find out.’

He sent the QR codes remaining on his smartphone to Miss Backdoor. She would have been able to find a clue here as well.

“… Where are the other workshops?”

The number of cores here was not enough compared to the location of the terror attack Taemin Kang remembered.

It was clear that there were other workshops.

“Mo, I don’t know… ! I really don’t know… !”

This too was true and expected.

Members assigned to each workshop would have been assigned a separate branch to raid.

There was no need to know the location or goals of the other workplaces.

‘Once you organize… .’

It was the moment Kang Tae-min finished the interrogation and was about to punish him.

A blue trail passed in front of my eyes along with the wave of destruction.

‘This… ?’

It penetrated the member’s forehead as it was. The back of the head exploded with a thud, and the walls were covered in blood.

‘sniping? On the ground?’

Taemin Kang turned his head. Following the trail clearly left in my mind, I saw the ceiling.

Strangely, however, there were no traces left on the ceiling. But it was later that the question was resolved.

‘This armament… Are you a specialist?’

A large amount of metal objects detected through the secret basement door. Judging from its shape, it was equipment used by mercenaries.

Specialist mercenaries were easier to distinguish because they were armed with firearms made with magical engineering rather than cold weapons.

‘Why?’

Kang Tae-min did not understand their pursuit.

The reason he left the Übermensch symbol was to make the two groups hostile. However, there was no reason for the specialist to immediately pursue.

‘The courtier doesn’t have this kind of personality.’

Specialists made up of mercenaries have a clear chain of command. And the apex of the system, the courtier, was a person who thoroughly weighed gains and losses.

In order to take action, you must have something to gain, not simply revenge your guild members.

“Breach!”

Sure enough, with a shout and a bang, the secret door flew in with an explosion.

“Open fire!”

The mercenaries aimed their guns in unison. Taemin Kang crumpled his face and formed an iron wall.

‘I don’t know if there is a core!’

Mana from the core has not yet been extracted. It was difficult to receive a shock in this state.

The barrage of bullets tried to penetrate the wall, but it was difficult to penetrate the wall being restored in real time.

“What is this… !?”

When their attack did not work, the mercenaries stopped for a moment. As they were also pros, it was to find another way.

However, that moment was enough for Kang Tae-min.

Beyond the iron wall that had disappeared into powder, the guns the Weavermensch members were trying to use were aimed at them all at once.

Kang Tae-min’s job was simple. Pulling the trigger all at once with their abilities. The mana required to form bullets was sufficiently delivered through ability expression.

“Take big… .”

The mercenaries who were trying to take cover in a hurry were showered with fire. Some survived by activating barriers worn on their wrists, but others, who were slow to respond, collapsed.

“Oh shit… .”

“What kind of ability… ?!”

The mercenaries spat out curse words. It was not an opponent that could be easily defeated. They decided to report the situation to the branch manager, Edwin.

“Chief? Branch manager?!”

However, instead of an answer, only noise flowed from the radio.

* * *

Edwin shook his head.

“Uhm… This won’t work.”

He was estimating the situation with the magic wave generated underground through a drone.

However, the opponent was not easy.

‘Where did this guy come from?’

I shot one after another, but it was not difficult to hit the target. Moreover, the bullets he fired were no ordinary bullets.

‘I’m sure you won’t be able to see it.’

Edwin’s ability was ‘Phantomize’, the ability to temporarily transform a designated object into a spiritual body.

Since he can pass through obstacles in his spiritual form, he has built a considerable career as a sniper.

‘How is it… .’

The mercenaries under his command would not last long. He immediately contacted superiors.

“I guess I will have to give up here.”

＜… I can’t help it. to clean it up.＞

A smile appeared on Edwin’s lips. He pointed the gun at him right away.

The target is not Kang Tae-min.

“What is going to come out?”

was the core.

The bullet that flew along with the percussion pierced the core in an instant.

The drone, which was beeping and detecting the magic wave, beeped. The unstable core will start running out of control.

Edwin immediately finished preparations for withdrawal.

“I induced a dungeon break. In terms of mana waves, it should be on the order of code orange.”

＜Okay. For the time being, this channel is closed. New channels will be delivered later.＞

“All right. scaler.”

He was an executive of the Ubermensch who went undercover in the specialist. The subject of the report was not the guild leader, the palace attendant, but the leader and scaler.

Edwin ended the call, got on his bike, and quickly walked away from the workshop.

‘I’ll just have to explain to the courtier that I got caught up in a dungeon break while chasing robbers.’

As soon as Edwin saw the Ubermensch mark in the field, he realized that it was a manipulation.

Even if there was a problem, there was no reason to attract attention at the point ahead of the terrorism.

‘Tsk, but I’d better refrain from doing business with Weavermensh for the time being.’

Edwin was in charge of conciliating the guild members within the specialist.

Unlike other guilds that mainly deal with monsters, mercenaries recruited ordinary people as customers, and it was easy to recruit them as they piled up complaints from ordinary people.

‘I’d appreciate it if you just searched comfortably.’

Edwin stopped the bike some distance away. Then, I flew the drone again to assess the situation. The overlapping space spread from the basement invaded the ground.

‘… what?’

Edwin’s eyebrows twitched.

The mercenaries who had followed him had long since died, and it was clear that the underground was full of monsters.

However, in the midst of it, a powerful mana wave swept through the overlapping space.

‘no way?’

It was moving at a terrifying speed, removing the magic waves around it, and its direction was on the ground.

If it’s a Code Orange class, there may be other monsters. And if the species were different, there were cases where the monsters were hostile to each other.

However, there was no case where a single object annihilated other monsters like this.

So Edwin could only think of one case.

‘He’s coming up… !’

the target is alive

No, now the goal has become yourself.

Taemin Kang was chasing him.
