Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 87

Pyo Ji-hoon led the two into the parlor.

“Hey, I was going to make time earlier, but I’ve been busy lately.”

He smiled blankly and pushed the prepared refreshment towards the two of them. Park Hyeon-ah smiled lightly and answered.

“No, thanks. It has to fit into your schedule.”

“I understand. The atmosphere has been turbulent lately.”

“Ah, the Ubermensch? A palace attendant became a leader… .”

At Kang Tae-min’s words, Park Hyeon-ah gnawed at the refreshment with a choking sound and answered while covering her mouth.

“Yes, well, my job is similar to that. But what about the need for me in the special lecture?”

The story of the palace has not yet been published. Pyo Ji-hoon naturally changed the topic.

“Ah, I was curious too.”

“Well? Don’t you even know Mr. Park?”

“Yes. Because I came as a director. If there is no problem, I will not be involved in the contents of the special lecture.”

Park Hyeon-ah was only in charge of the Oblige Academy. It was rude for her to interfere with Kang Tae-min’s education.

“All you need is the first day. Student Pyo Soo-ho, are you ready?”

“Ah, yes. As you said, I put it on standby. But why didn’t you start the class right away… ?”

Pyo Ji-hoon asked cautiously.

He had heard that Kang Tae-min’s education was quite forceful and practical. What is the reason for consulting with Pyo Soo-ho?

“Unlike the previous special class students, I took little time to understand Suho. If it’s just about learning a skill, it’s better to learn from my father than from me.”

“Well… That’s right.”

“Yes, understanding students must precede it so that we can educate accordingly.”

“That’s a good point. I will remember this and try to use it.”

Park Hyun-ah smiled and moistened her lips with the drink. Taemin Kang looked at her.

“I also need Mr. Park’s help.”

“My help?”

She tilted her head. What kind of help was he, who was not even a homeroom teacher?

* * *

Pyo Soo-ho maintained an upright posture even though no one was there.

‘Since he is the teacher who taught Inoa, there must be many things to learn from him.’

Although he was always a hard worker, Pyo Soo-ho worked even harder after the Youth Hunter Championship and the Crown Island incident.

Even when Pyo Ji-hoon talked about being an exchange student, he readily accepted it. How could he refuse when his father asked for it for himself?

‘Exercise the procedure, renovate the bones!’

Pyo Soo-ho reflected on what he had said at the podium. Before long, I felt a presence beyond the visit.

He jumped up and waited for the door to open.

“Suho, no… .”

“Hello everyone!”

Park Hyun-ah, who opened the door and came in, greeted me, but his voice swallowed my words.

Park Hyun-ah only laughed that she knew that would happen.

“Please take care of me!”

“Sit down.”

Taemin Kang calmly replied. Pyo Soo-ho was seated obediently.

The three people who came face to face.

Kang Tae-min glanced at the mirror in the room and winked at Park Hyun-ah.

“Suho.”

She nodded slightly and met her gaze. The moment their eyes met, she manifested her ability.

“uh… .”

Pyo Soo-ho’s eyes, which had been beating as if they were about to be pierced, opened gently.

Park Hyun-ah made it into a state where his desire was satisfied with his ability, ‘Frommerchen’.

It was the help Taemin Kang said.

“Suho, can you honestly answer what Mr. Kang said?”

“Sure, it’s easy.”

Pyo Soo-ho shook his head as if he was weepy. Taemin Kang thanked her with a wink and asked her a prepared question.

“Why do you want to be strong?”

“I want to be like my father.”

“Why?”

“Disappointed, because I don’t want to do it.”

Pyo Soo-ho shook his head slowly.

“Why do you think your father will be disappointed?”

“Yeah… .”

Pyo Soo-ho paused for a moment at the ensuing question, but soon opened his mouth in a rising mood.

“Because I am not your real son.”

“what… ?”

“Ability, please keep it.”

Park Hyun-ah was taken aback by the unexpected words, but Kang Tae-min was calm.

Because he already knew the truth.

‘It was a fact that came to light when Pyo Ji-hoon disappeared and the media dug into it.’

Before returning, after Pyo Ji-hun disappeared with his son, the media reported about him every day.

All public attention was focused on it, and the media focused on the Pyo family as if competing.

And it was revealed that Pyo Soo-ho was an adopted child.

‘In the first place, Pyo Ji-hoon had never even been married.’

It wasn’t that Pyo Ji-hoon was trying to hide that fact. I just kept quiet because there was no need to talk about it to outsiders.

In fact, as soon as he was old enough to understand his son, he revealed the fact and accepted Pyo Soo-ho.

However, because of that, Pyo Soo-ho developed an obsession that he couldn’t be someone to his father who took care of him.

Pyo Soo-ho’s upright personality and constant efforts were also due to that.

-Why are you rushing so far?

-Because I am the sword master’s son.

Before Kang Tae-min returned, he thought of Pyo Soo-ho, whom he considered his rival.

-So you can’t remain a loser. Even though I lost now, I will win in the end!

-What if I don’t deal with you?

-that’s… ! cowardly! If you’re cowardly, you lose, so I won!

He was one of the few people who forcibly intervened in his lonely school life. But that is a memory that only he knows now.

“… All right.”

Kang Tae-min looked at Park Hyun-ah and shook his head.

“We have found out the motives of student Pyo Su-ho, so this is enough.”

“Ah yes… !”

Park Hyeon-a reaped her ability while watching Pyo Soo-ho’s notice. Because her powers aren’t hypnotic.

“What is this… !”

Memories don’t fade

Pyo Soo-ho blushed in surprise. An expression of shame and anger combined, and a resentful gaze stuck to the two teachers.

“What kind of counseling is this!?”

“It’s something my father allowed.”

“My father… ?!”

“yes. Thanks to you, I was able to figure out the problem.”

At the word “problem,” Pyo Soo-ho’s eyes shook.

Park Hyun-ah’s eyes also shook, but the reason was different. It was because he was worried that there might be a problem between Pyo Soo-ho and Kang Tae-min.

“You are considering yourself an exhibit.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“You are only trying to look good to others. But my students have been fighting to survive.”

Kang Tae-min’s cold gaze was embedded in his eyes.

“I taught you to survive even when you are dirty and ugly. He taught me how to step on the opponent and stand up no matter what. But what you learned is just a sport to look at.”

“Even a teacher cannot bear such an insult!”

“Yeah, that’s it. Showing off your pride without even knowing what you are doing.”

Kang Tae-min said that and radiated pure mana to Pyo Soo-ho.

Pyo Soo-ho, who had been in a fit of heat, was speechless and shivered.

“Go, Mr. Kang?”

Park Hyun-ah said in surprise.

She didn’t feel the pressure because she wasn’t directed at mana, but she noticed something.

“Be the first to know.”

Kang Tae-min did not respond to her and spoke to Pyo Soo-ho.

“As long as you belong to the special class, you have no choice.”

Kang Tae-min glanced at the mirror in the room.

Beyond the one-way transmissive mirror used in the interrogation room, there was Pyo Ji-hun.

He, the father, also had to know Pyo Soo-ho’s heart.

* * *

A few days have passed since the special lecture started. In the meantime, Kang Tae-min did not allow Pyo Soo-ho to hold the sword.

“Your ability is suitable for an ambush.”

Pyosuho’s white aura, ‘Neutralizer’, neutralizes the opponent’s mana. This meant that the opponent’s strategy could be blanked out.

“If you abuse your ability from the start, the opponent will also prepare for it.”

Pyo Soo-ho’s swordsmanship was already excellent, and to improve further, it was right to be taught by Pyo Ji-hun rather than Kang Tae-min.

Because of this, Kang Tae-min taught him how to deal with memorization.

“But if you use memorization, you will be able to take your opponent’s breath away and turn the tide of the game.”

A surprise attack.

Even if you block it, the flow of mana gets tangled. If it was a life-and-death battle, the effect would be multiplied.

“Such a cowardly move… Ouch!”

At first, Pyo Soo-ho also refused, but eventually had to accept Kang Tae-min’s etiquette injector and ruthless acupressure.

“Turn it off… .”

“Hey. it’s okay, it’s okay If you get it right, you get used to it.”

These were the words of Song Dae-beom, a man with yellow hair, comforting the grunting Pyo Soo-ho.

“Honestly, is this enough for you to see? I’m always called first, what kind of guinea pig… .”

“Song Dae-beom, stop chatting and fight.”

“Ah, yes!”

The reason Kang Tae-min brought him from training at the Veritas Guild was to use him as a sparring opponent.

‘Pyo Soo-ho uses memorization to dismantle the magic circle, and Song Dae-beom uses the attributes he has learned so far.’

It would benefit both sides. Yoo Hwa-rin’s training was left to Lee Lu-a because he had no part to be involved in.

‘There is plenty of time.’

This special lecture is for the students, but it was also for his plan.

Sooner or later, the time would come when Pyo Soo-ho’s ability would be needed.

‘We need to cut off the buds so that Necrod doesn’t get stronger.’

Like Leviathan’s blood jade, it had to be prevented from falling into Necrod’s hands.

* * *

1 week after the special lecture started like that.

“Mr. Kang?”

“Yes.”

Park Hyun-ah called and stopped Kang Tae-min, who was about to return after training as usual.

“How about a drink today? There’s a cocktail bar I know, but it’s simple.”

Saying that, Park Hyeon-ah quickly added a reason to prevent Kang Tae-min from rejecting him.

“Because now the supervision period has been completed. I want to tell you a little story. I want to hear more of the teacher’s story… .”

There was no reason for her to stay by Pyo Soo-ho’s side throughout the vacation. It was enough to confirm that there were no problems with Kang Tae-min’s special lecture for a week.

Kang Tae-min looked at her blankly and nodded his head obediently.

“Yes, you are.”

“thanks. Oh, of course I’ll buy the alcohol.”

“Thank you, I will drink.”

He didn’t refuse the favor.

The two arrived at a cocktail bar. It was a shop away from the main street of the downtown area, giving off the feeling that only those in the know know about it.

“… do you think?”

“It’s a really nice place, even if it doesn’t look like much from the outside.”

Kang Tae-min tried to lick his lips, but closed them and nodded calmly.

“As for alcohol, I will leave it to you.”

“Uh, isn’t that the image of a drunkard?”

I follow her playfully into the cocktail bar.

“Come on… Ah, sir!”

A neatly dressed bartender greeted us with a bright face.

“Guardian, long time no see!”

“It’s been a really long time since you came. Oh, hello. My name is Yang Kyung-ho.”

It was a bit early, so there were no customers. Yang Kyung-ho put down the cup he was polishing and greeted them with a smile.

Taemin Kang was greeted with a bow.

“Are you surprised? This is a shop run by a graduate I taught. I often come and drink.”

“He comes from time to time, but every time he comes, the sales are no joke. Thanks to you, I live.”

Yang Kyung-ho said with a playful smile. When Park Hyun-ah gave him a glare, he stinged and stepped back.

“Oh, please sit here. This table has the best view of the night view.”

Yang Kyung-ho showed me to my seat with a polite attitude.

“I’m White Russian, what about Mr. Kang?”

“I will drink the same.”

“Oh, are you guessing?”

“When it comes to alcohol, I follow.”

“That’s it again. I’m not that much of a drunkard, am I?”

The cocktails we ordered came out right away.

White milk swayed and swayed on top of the thick black liquid below.

Yang Kyung-ho did not return immediately and spoke to Kang Tae-min.

“In case you misunderstand, thanks to the teacher, I mustered up the courage to change my career path. Even if it’s not a joke, I’m doing this all thanks to the teacher.”

“Is that so.”

“Yes. Originally, he was going to go to the research institute because he is an alchemist, but he said that opening a bar like this is his dream.”

Park Hyun-ah shook her head with a face that reminded her of memories.

“The income is less than the guild alchemists, but they are living happily.”

“Yes, yes. Do you know how to do it?”

“hahahaha, then let’s talk comfortably.”

Yang Kyung-ho went back as if he had run away. Kang Tae-min and Park Hyun-ah quenched their thirst with cocktails and started a light conversation.

It took a while for her expression to become serious.

“I thought so. If my students were sacrificed on Crown Island… .”

She paused for a moment and let out a short sigh.

“I don’t know the details, but I heard that Mr. Kang is the main character. I wanted to say thank you even if it’s belated.”

“It was something I had to do.”

“It wasn’t something everyone could do.”

“Didn’t Mr. Park also rescue the students from the fog?”

Through the maddening fog, she led the students out like a Pied Piper.

Even if not as much as Kang Tae-min, he deserved recognition.

“I-that’s… .”

However, her expression soon darkened.

“Since that incident, everyone has received mental care, right?”

“Yes, it was.”

“I… I heard it then.”

Park Hyun-ah’s lips were swollen. But soon, as if she had made up her mind, she opened her mouth.

“I don’t think I was acting for the sake of the students.”

“… What do you mean?”

“Didn’t Teacher Kang say that I am similar to the teacher you told me about last time?”

“Yes, it was.”

It had to be.

But she never knew in her dreams that she was his gift.

“Since you don’t think badly of Master, I’m speaking honestly. I think I’m taking advantage of students who are in trouble.”

“… Are you using it?”

“Sounds strange, right? I know. However, I didn’t feel strange until I received mental care.”

She passed the cocktail as if her throat was burning.

“It makes me feel good when I help people in need. However, this is not a pure heart, but more self-satisfaction.”

“If you are self-satisfied… .”

“They say that helping them is better than helping them.”

Park Hyun-ah covered my face with both hands.

“Come to think of it, it was like that then too. The students following me through the fog, the students trembling with fear, finding me and being relieved. I liked that.”

her shoulders trembled Taemin Kang listened to her in silence.

“Messiah complex in psychological terms? Fortunately, it’s not that severe… I’m actually afraid. Can I continue to be a teacher with this kind of heart? .”

“You mean you hate being hypocritical.”

Kang Tae-min’s words stopped shaking his shoulders. She lowered her hand to cover her face.

The drooping eyes were red.

“… Also, right? Is it wrong?”

“This is purely my opinion.”

Even when Kang Tae-min saw her face, his expression did not change.

“Hypocrisy is not evil.”

“… Yes?”

“The standard for goodness is unclear.”

Taemin Kang closed his eyes.

If you ask if you can confidently say that everything he has done is ‘good’, the answer is ‘no’.

‘I’m not wrong.’

However, he did not consider ‘good’ and ‘right’ to be the same. That’s why I chose the right way rather than the good way.

“Evil, on the other hand, is relatively clear.”

Taemin Kang opened his eyes and continued.

“So I try not to be evil. I don’t want me, my students, and anyone I can influence to be evil.”

He looked straight into Park Hyun-ah’s eyes.

“If you ask me if Mr. Park’s hypocrisy is evil, I would say no.”

“ah… .”

Park Hyun-ah looked at Kang Tae-min with her mouth slightly open. It was as if time had stopped.

“welcome.”

If it wasn’t for the disciple’s voice, I don’t know if I would have continued to do so.

“I am… I never thought of it that way.”

I felt a little at ease.

Of course, the problem was not completely resolved.

“Thanks to you, I think I’m getting a little organized.”

However, the mind that felt like it was sinking endlessly came to an end. So I was able to stand up again.

Park Hyun-ah smiled and emptied her glass.

“thanks. Mr. Kang.”

“I’m glad it was helpful.”

Taemin Kang shook his head. Soon after, guests came in and the seats started to fill up.

“Oh, will it wake up soon?”

“I see.”

It was the moment Park Hyun-ah was about to get up after packing her things.

“Can I tell you one more thing before that?”

“Yes? Oh yes.”

“Those who seek help, the weak, are not always nice.”

Kang Tae-min listened to the remaining White Russians.

“There are cases in which a dark inside is hidden underneath.”

Kang Tae-min drank the cocktail at once. A mixture of black and white liquid swayed in the glass.

Park Hyun-ah nodded with a slightly blank look.

“Ah yes… I will be careful.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

As the two headed for the exit, the bartender, Yang Kyung-ho, greeted them with a bright smile.

“Come again next time!”

“I see.”

Park Hyun-ah smiled brightly at Kang Tae-min’s answer.

‘Looks like you liked it.’

she thought so

However, Taemin Kang had a different idea. After breaking up with Park Hyun-ah, he took out a cigarette and asked.

‘Yang Kyung-ho.’

He spit out smoke and recalled his karma log embedded in his brain.

[Karma Log]

[Name – Kyungho Yang]

[Alignment – Evil (-617)]

[Recently recorded karma activity]

[＞ Sales of addictive drugs (-10)]

As a disciple of Park Hyun-ah, he was not just a bartender.

‘Drugs and prostitution.’

These were the items that came up as a result of scanning karma activities. However, Kang Tae-min was not so surprised.

because.

‘It’s a place like this even if you’re not a color demon.’

It was because this cocktail bar was the starting point for the villain, the evil spirit.
