Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 84

Hands didn’t even move.

It wasn’t because he was cool or kept his composure.

‘Ga-eun… Why over there… ?’

He couldn’t believe the current reality and couldn’t react.

‘why? No, how?’

My head was occupied with countless question marks. How the hell did that iron man bring his daughter?

I couldn’t accept the seed and reject the desire. Still, he was always careful not to reveal their relationship.

Since he and Pete visited their daughter only by moving in space, there was no way for information to leak.

His wife, Lee Young-mi, hates him and has not revealed who the daughter’s father is.

‘no way… ?’

Hands’ face crumpled.

Then there was only one possibility I could think of. The very other self he hates.

Seol Gyu-jin was the only person who could identify the location of this place and knew the relationship with Seol Ga-eun.

‘You mean you handed over your daughter to catch me? !’

In the meantime, the situation on the screen changed completely. The iron man, Kang Tae-min, reached out to Seol Ga-eun.

＜I’ll give you one minute＞

With that said, circular saw blades were formed on both sides of the frame. It turned furiously and approached Seol Ga-eun, who fainted.

If left as it is, she would be cut into thirds.

‘This crazy… !’

Hands’ body trembled. I wanted to run away right away.

‘No, no. This must be a trap!’

He managed to control his emotions. I didn’t think Seol Ga-eun’s appearance was so shocking.

‘No matter how much, he won’t give our daughter hostage.’

Seol Gyu-jin and himself share the same soul. Even though the two walked different paths, their love for their family was the same.

‘That’s probably an elaborate fake… !’

Hands laughed.

It was a mockery made by imagining a self-deprecating laugh at himself who was fooled by the enemy’s tricks, and Kang Tae-min, who would return after failing.

The closer the saw blade got to Seol Ga-eun’s body, the more anxious he became, but he persevered.

‘Welcome magic? Or is it a mechanical doll?’

The saw blade turned furiously and touched her body.

Hands thought that the saw blade would either pierce the illusion or scatter parts.

But it wasn’t.

＜Turn it off!＞

The saw blade ripped through the skin and ripped through the muscles. The spinning saw blade spattered flesh and blood, and Seol Ga-eun, waking up in pain, let out a suppressed scream.

It was because his mouth was blocked with an iron plate.

“What, what… .”

The hands became brittle.

It wasn’t like a welcome. It wasn’t even a mechanical doll.

“Ga-eun, Ga-eun… ! Ga-eun!”

The equilibrium is broken. Patience is broken. No father can do that in front of his tortured daughter.

Hands desperately ran for the hideout’s exit.

‘Kill, kill! These chews are given… !’

He erupted in hatred. Anger at Kang Tae-min and Seol Gyu-jin, who touched his own, exploded.

“Have you come?”

Looking at the hands that arrived with a heavy breath, Kang Tae-min said. When he appeared, the saw blade stopped.

However, the leaking blood did not stop, and so did Seol Ga-eun’s tears.

“Ga-eun, it’s okay. wait a little, wait a little Dad will save you… !”

Saying that, Hands trembled. His venom-filled eyes turned to Kang Tae-min.

“I did what I wanted. Free my daughter!”

Taemin Kang did not answer.

Instead, he closed the lid of the iron coffin with his ability. Seol Ga-eun disappeared with a thud.

“When did I say I would release you?”

“you… !”

“It would be better to answer the question obediently.”

The value of the hostages had been proven, but there was no way they would let them go. Kang Tae-min created an iron spear with his ability and flew it.

As always, he intended to set an example before the interrogation.

By the way.

‘… what?’

A sudden feeling of great exhaustion. Along with him, the barbed wire rushing toward Hands suddenly stopped in the air.

“I knew it would come out like that… !”

Hands let out a voice filled with anger as if chewing.

“You are already in my barrier area!”

Hands activated the barrier area as soon as he met Kang Tae-min. Unlike others, his boundary area did not undergo spatial transformation.

It was because the other reality he wanted was not very different from now.

However, if there is anything else.

“You are already mine.”

Ownership.

Everything within the barrier realm was treated as ‘owned’ by Hands, and he was thus able to duplicate everything within the realm.

That’s why it appeared behind Hands.

‘… Right. Did you clone me?’

He was an iron man with the same appearance as Kang Tae-min. The exhaustion he felt was due to the separation of the soul.

‘But, in that case.’

There was one thing I still didn’t understand. Kang Tae-min asked the cloned self.

“If you’re like me, shouldn’t you catch him?”

If it was part of his soul, his hatred for the villain would be the same. But playing with those hands didn’t make sense.

Seol Gyu-jin’s ability ‘multi-plus’ meant duplication, but it was impossible to control the cloned subject.

If so, that cloned self meant to help Hands according to its own will.

“Of course I will catch him.”

The cloned Kang Tae-min glanced back at his hands. But Hands wasn’t worried at all.

“So leave it to me and give up.”

What followed was the reason. Hands twisted the corner of his mouth.

“The beings that I make mine put the highest priority on being ‘unique’. That’s why I don’t tolerate other selves.”

This was Hands’ method of eliminating opponents. The original and the clone fight each other, and when the fight is over, the clone repeats itself.

The soul continues to be separated like that, and the opponent’s soul is lost in the endless battle with himself.

It was enough for Hands to watch the fight and eliminate the weakened opponent.

“You know I wouldn’t.”

Taemin Kang said that and acted immediately. The metal blades formed in an instant flew towards the hands.

However, the replica once again stopped it with its ability.

Hands let out a low laugh.

“I can’t wait to see who will survive. No, since you even resurrected, do you want to fight forever?”

Taemin Kang frowned at the killing. The clone pounced on him.

If it was a clone he made, he would immediately subdue it, but the opponent was a real one who could even use his abilities.

‘That’s the worst situation.’

However, Kang Tae-min was not worried.

‘As expected.’

Because I had already guessed that this would happen.

association’s office.

“What is this… ?”

There was a woman shaking her fists in front of Seol Gyu-jin.

“If you left me and Ga-eun… .”

She was Lee Young-mi, a lover abandoned by Seol Gyu-jin.

“I should have lived in silence. I have to hold on to something more valuable than me and Ga-eun. Why… !”

The position of president of the association, the life of a hero recognized by everyone. But the cruel man who betrayed himself to get it.

It was Seol Gyu-jin’s appearance that she expected.

Lee Young-mi could not have guessed that Seol Gyu-jin would become like this.

[Thank you for coming. really.]

In fact, Seol Gyu-jin was in a state where he could not even raise his voice. That’s why the dry text was all he conveyed to her.

[I should have apologized earlier, but I was scared.]

“Apology?”

[I didn’t want to show you this. But I didn’t want to leave any regrets. It wasn’t until I died that I realized that.]

“To die… You, you are the president of the association.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Lee Young-mi was confused.

There are so many things I want to ask, but I don’t know what to ask first.

[You can criticize me for being selfish. But I didn’t want to leave any misunderstanding.]

“A misunderstanding, what… .”

[I was going to go back to you.]

“What do you mean now… !”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Lee Young-mi chewed her lips. Although Seol Gyu-jin felt sorry for her condition, his words only deceived her.

He chose his fiancee, not himself.

[You know why I got engaged, don’t you?]

“Even if it’s a loveless engagement… !”

In a time of cataclysm, Seol Gyu-jin got engaged to keep the peace.

It was a time when the association had not yet established itself, and the conflict between the general public and the awakened was heightened due to the activities of the villains.

The Good Awakeners covered their faces and acted anonymously to avoid retaliation from the villains and criticism from the general public.

[At that time, that was the only way. I didn’t know that a civil war would break out if I didn’t.]

Even in the midst of this, Seol Gyu-jin was an awakening person who received support from the general public. But he alone could not stop the growing conflict.

In response, the government tried to change public opinion by putting Seol Gyu-jin at the forefront.

[Contrary to the press release, I didn’t have any affection for her.]

It was a request to Seol Gyu-jin to make a family with an ordinary person. Of course, it was a formal engagement, and the plan was to announce the truth and call off the engagement once the timing had stabilized.

Seol Gyu-jin accepted this and the situation seemed to improve.

[And I met you, my true love.]

He got to know Lee Young-mi while doing relief work. And my feelings for her grew more and more.

However, it was still too early to call off the engagement.

[I was conceited. I thought I could catch two rabbits because I had an alter ego.]

Seol Gyu-jin played two people. When I started dating Lee Young-mi, I met while hiding my identity. And, as promised, if the engagement was canceled, he would formally propose to Lee Young-mi.

That’s why I gave birth to Seol Ga-eun.

[But everything went wrong.]

Then one day, the alter ego suddenly stopped coming back. From then on, Seol Gyu-jin’s soul gradually flowed into the alter ego.

[After that, as you know.]

Seol Gyu-jin returned to his original position for the cause. Lee Young-mi thought Seol Gyu-jin had suddenly disappeared and raised Seol Ga-eun alone.

In the meantime, the government revealed Seol Gyu-jin’s identity and announced the marriage. Everyone blessed the job, but not Lee Young-mi.

[I went straight to you, but.]

Seol Gyu-jin was surprised and went to see Lee Young-mi. But she had already left.

Lee Young-mi returned only after Seol Ga-eun became an adult. However, it was after Seol Gyu-jin’s condition worsened.

[I wanted to find you and my daughter, but I couldn’t find them.]

“… So are you asking for forgiveness?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Lee Young-mi’s voice was thick.

[No, I don’t want forgiveness. just apologize. And I wanted to see your face and your daughter’s face before I die.]

“I won’t forgive you. In the end, the fact that you deceived me and Ga-eun remains the same.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Lee Young-mi looked at Seol Gyu-jin’s haggard face, not the screen.

“So live. Live and atone for the rest of your life. Don’t run away, say sorry and live… !”

Seol Gyu-jin’s eyes struggled toward her face. I couldn’t see her expression well in the blurry vision, but I could guess what kind of face she was.

Because I’ve missed you all this time.

[I guess Ga-eun is your daughter.]

“… what?”

[I said the same thing as you.]

“Ga-eun too… You came here?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Lee Yeong-mi received a call from Seol Ga-eun, but at that time Seol Ga-eun hadn’t even left.

I had no idea that she and Kang Tae-min were together.

“Then, where is Ga-eun now?”

[Wasn’t I with you?]

“what… ?”

Seol Gyu-jin’s breathing faltered.

He thought Seol Ga-eun was away to talk to Lee Young-mi alone.

[Did you follow him?]

It was only her decision that Seol Ga-eun followed Kang Tae-min.

* * *

While Kang Tae-min was fighting a fierce battle with his cloned self, Hands hurriedly headed to rescue Seol Ga-eun.

“Ga-eun!”

Fortunately, the iron coffin she was imprisoned in was not locked. Hands hurriedly opened the lid and examined her.

“ah… .”

Although stained with blood, the body visible through the torn clothes was intact.

It seems that he took out the saw blade and healed it with his ability.

“It’s okay, it’s okay now. Daddy will save you!”

Now just release that restraint and you’re done. Now that this has happened, I had to return with Seol Ga-eun.

“I will never get hurt again. I’ll bring my mom too. As long as you’re by my father’s side… .”

Now Seol Ga-eun will also become his ‘possession’. In the future, if only Lee Young-mi, his wife, is recovered, the family will come back.

It was at this moment that Hands approached her with a heart full of hope.

‘… what?’

It was strange.

An object foreign to the possession he felt was detected. It was the manapistol hanging from Seol Ga-eun’s back.

Why do hostages have weapons?

It was at this moment that the question popped into my mind.

“you are… .”

Seol Ga-eun’s restraints were released with a click. The iron plate that had been blocking his mouth fell down and Seol Ga-eun’s voice came out.

“My dad… .”

Seol Ga-eun pulled out the mana pistol. And as I learned from Kang Tae-min, as I practiced, I pulled the trigger.

With a series of movements, Seol Ga-eun’s eyes changed fiercely.

“no!”

Along with gunshots, magic bullets pierced Hands’ body.
