I Entered an Academy in a Ruined Game

Chapter 158 : Kill Jeong Su-hyeon (2)

"Everyone get down!"

The Ma-in blocking the exit of car 10 shouted, holding up the severed head of a passenger who had been sitting nearby.

"Kyaaaaaaah!"

"C-crazy! They cut off someone's head!"

"Ma-in!"

"I said everyone shut up and get down!"

A Ma-in with a rough face shouted at the panicked citizens.

"Do you want your neck cut off like this too?"

"......!"

Only then did the passengers understand the situation and awkwardly sat on the floor in front of the seats, putting their hands behind their necks.

"Anyone with their head sticking out of the seat will follow this bastard!"

The Ma-in was triumphant seeing how easily the atmosphere was controlled.

"Good, check each face."

"Okay."

As the Ma-in approached, checking the approximately 20 passengers.

Su-hyeon quietly held his breath.

'There's only one passage between the seats, and there are passengers too. It's a chaotic environment in many ways.'

Therefore.

'I can't use a sword.'

Su-hyeon concluded that fighting bare-handed was the most appropriate option for now.

'Do they know how to contain magical energy internally? At least they're not just random thugs.'

However, Su-hyeon could sense the atmosphere of quite experienced warriors from the three Ma-in.

'I'm currently in car 10. Of all places, it had to be the very end.'

In the uncertainty of not knowing how many enemies there were or what abilities they had.

Su-hyeon quietly opened his carrier and hurriedly took out a dust mask.

'It's not as good as a specialized mask, but it's better than nothing.'

His breathing might be a bit restricted, but this wasn't the time to worry about such things.

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me say get down!"

The Ma-in barked at Su-hyeon, who was getting up from his seat.

"Seems like you're looking for someone."

"What, bastard?"

"Wait. Could that be him?"

"What?"

Although his nose and mouth were covered by the mask.

The Ma-in smiled at Su-hyeon, whose overall appearance matched the description.

"Oh~ what's this? We hit the jackpot."

"Bingo!"

"Kukukuk, stay right there, kid! There's quite a bounty on your head!"

"What, aren't we calling for backup?"

"Bullshit. You want to share the money?"

"That's not right."

"Kuhehe. Three of us is more than enough to catch one kid."

'All combat types?'

Su-hyeon assessed the Ma-in's postures and weapons.

One was holding a short staff, one had a knife with a length close to a machete.

The last one, judging by his appearance transformed into a beast, seemed to be a lycanthrope of the canine family.

'Probably a were-lycaon.'

"Leave the face intact. If we smash it, they might dispute whether it's the right guy."

"Got it, got it."

The Ma-in with the short staff approached Su-hyeon nonchalantly.

'A feint.'

Seeing the Ma-in's calm eyes, Su-hyeon discerned that he was trying to induce carelessness.

'Eye Power activated.'

Kiiiing!

Su-hyeon's eyes sparkled as if containing the Milky Way.

Tadak!

The Ma-in who instantly closed the distance struck down at Su-hyeon's shoulder with the short staff.

Su-hyeon's choice was not to retreat but rather to take one step forward.

Tak!

After blocking the attack by striking the Ma-in's wrist with his forearm, Su-hyeon headbutted the Ma-in's nose bridge with lightning speed.

Bbaak!

"Keuk!"

Su-hyeon stepped back avoiding the Ma-in who was spewing a waterfall of blood from his nose, and pushed him with a front kick.

"This stupid bastard!"

As if comradeship was a luxury, another Ma-in leaped over his comrade and momentarily caught Su-hyeon's attention.

"Kreung!"

The were-lycaon climbed the wall diagonally, jumped over the seats, and swung his sharp forepaws at Su-hyeon's side.

A combined attack coming in by splitting a mere instant.

This scene clearly revealed that they were seasoned in this type of combat, but.

'Mana Shield.'

Su-hyeon calmly created a Mana Shield in the air to block the Ma-in with the knife.

Then he bent his waist backward using a sway, narrowly avoiding the were-lycaon's forepaws.

'Got him!'

But because he bent his waist backward to avoid the attack, Su-hyeon's nape was exposed.

'Got him!'

The were-lycaon immediately opened its jaws to tear at his carotid artery.

Bbaak!

However, Su-hyeon quickly swung his forward hand, landing a short uppercut on the lycaon's jaw, forcing its mouth shut.

Puwook!

"Kaaaak!"

After making the were-lycaon retreat by ruthlessly gouging its eyes, he immediately planted a right straight using the elasticity of his waist.

Bbakak!

While the Ma-in with the caved-in face lost consciousness and fell backward.

Shuuk!

Bwoong!

A short staff and a dagger flew in simultaneously from left and right, sharply targeting Su-hyeon's opening.

Bbaak!

Su-hyeon raised his left hand to deflect the Ma-in's short staff, while catching the wrist holding the dagger with superhuman body vision.

Wooddeuk!

"Kuaaak!"

Su-hyeon, who twisted the wrist and dislocated the joint, lowered his body deeply and rolled on the floor to avoid the attack of the Ma-in swinging the short staff again.

'This little bastard! He fights damn well?'

The Ma-in who watched his two companions being subdued in the blink of an eye swallowed dry saliva.

'Damn it, they said he was worth 1 billion, and he's no ordinary guy. To handle our combined attack so easily.......'

In a situation where victory was completely lost.

The Ma-in finally tried to take out a special whistle from his bosom to request reinforcements.

"Where do you think you're going."

Su-hyeon's high-speed jab, which targeted that gap in consciousness, pinpointed the Ma-in's jaw and knocked him down.

Koong!

"Whew."

It wasn't an easy fight, but as Su-hyeon showed overwhelming combat power and cleared the train car, the passengers cautiously raised their faces.

"I-is it over?"

"Who are you? A hunter? Execution Force?"

"I'm a cadet from EFAC."

Su-hyeon said as he pulled down his carrier.

"The train is probably completely hijacked. Please don't move rashly and wait here."

"W-what about you, student?"

"I have to go forward."

"That's reckless! Alone?"

"Yes. I'll go alone."

"......!"

"Then what about here......"

Su-hyeon sighed slightly at the words of a passenger who represented everyone's feelings.

"At least what I can promise you is that I will absolutely not let anyone come through behind me."

"W-wait!"

Su-hyeon opened the train door and headed to the next car.

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

Around this time.

As soon as they recognized that an abnormal situation had occurred on the train, two Execution Force squads were dispatched to the scene.

However, the Execution Force members who arrived at the crossing point by two helicopters soon realized that the train was nowhere to be seen.

"It's not even detected by satellite! It's as if the entire train has disappeared somewhere!"

"Damn it. Is there an awakened one with barrier abilities involved? Who on earth would do such a thing!"

The Squad Leader ground his teeth.

"Was there a Ma-in with such characteristics? Who could the villain be?"

"......Squad Leader. There is something that comes to mind."

A middle-aged helicopter pilot said with an uncertain face.

"There used to be a Ma-in bandit group that committed this type of crime."

"......When you say 'used to', how long ago are you talking about?"

"Not precisely, but from my memory, it would be almost 20 years ago."

"Huh."

"But I heard that after being hit by a major crackdown operation, only the survivors escaped....... There were many rumors that they went to China, to India."

"Then those bastards......"

With the momentum of Ma-in influx from overseas being ominous recently.

It might have been unbelievable before, but now it was a quite plausible story.

"Then the situation is serious. If external intervention is impossible, the lives of the passengers......"

"Yes. It would be fortunate if there happened to be a hunter inside."

"Moreover, that hunter would have to fight that Ma-in bandit group while also protecting the passengers, right?"

Even if they themselves were dropped there alone, such a feat would be impossible.

The expressions of the members hardened.

"......First, let's report to headquarters and wait for instructions. In the meantime, the helicopters will follow the railway to Seoul."

"Understood."

'Damn it. Do we have to hope for a hero to emerge from inside that train now? But the probability, the possibility of that.......'

"Huaaak! P-please stop......"

"Stop? This is just the beginning."

Ko Kyeong-ho, who was casually torturing a passenger for entertainment, suddenly turned around and asked.

"Is he still far? This Jeong Su-hyeon guy."

"Yes, boss."

"Where is he?"

"Currently, car 9 is about to be subdued after car 10. The resistance seems quite fierce."

"Oh, what are these stupid bastards doing that they can't even catch one high school student?"

"It seems they didn't request reinforcements at first, probably trying to take the 1 billion won bounty on his head for themselves."

"If they're going to do that, they should at least handle it properly. I selected the chaff carefully, but they're still around."

Ko Kyeong-ho grumbled about how Ma-in bastards value money more than killing humans.

"Stop this bullshit and tell them all to gang up and subdue him."

"Understood. And there's one more thing to report......"

"What now?"

"There are also battles occurring in other places. It seems to be him."

"Oh, I see."

Ko Kyeong-ho snickered.

"We caught a big fish."

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

Clunk!

The train body shook for a moment as if running on rough tracks.

'Now!'

Bbakak!

I targeted the moment when the Ma-in's balance was shaken and delivered a lightning-fast flying knee kick to his large jaw.

"Keuk!"

Car 9 conquest complete.

"Whew."

I took a moment to steady my breathing and picked up my carrier, opening the door heading to car 8.

There was still no space to use the Moonless Sword in my carrier.

Wiiing.

When I opened the door to car 8, three Ma-in gave me their attention as if they had been waiting.

"You're finally here? You're late."

"Thanks to you, we get some extra money."

They definitely seemed of higher caliber compared to the Ma-in in cars 9 and 10.

"Well then."

"Let's finish this quickly."

A man close to 2 meters tall wearing knuckles rushed toward me.

'Hmm?'

Just as I was about to respond, my right foot stuck to the floor and wouldn't move.

'This is!'

I don't know the exact principle, but it must be a characteristic that binds feet.

'Probably the work of that skinny guy.'

Having been caught off guard by an unexpected method, a situation was created where I had to fistfight head-on with that super heavyweight Ma-in.

But it didn't matter to me.

Bwoong!

A fist with considerable force flew toward my face.

'Not a properly trained fist.'

A fist pushed with the momentum unique to street fighters.

But I wasn't going to be hit by a fist that, without any setup, pulled the shoulder back and revealed its trajectory and timing.

Bwoong!

I greatly lowered my upper body, deflecting the fist with ducking while simultaneously planting a powerful counter straight into the Ma-in's face.

Bbaak!

'He's tough.'

But the Ma-in's dash, still pushing forward despite being hit.

Bbak! Bbakak!

I cut off his momentum with a concise short uppercut and elbow.

'My foot is free.'

When my keen senses detected that the binding was released, I retreated to create sufficient distance and then cleanly turned the Ma-in's thick jaw with a properly weighted rear hook.

Bbaak!

While the Ma-in wobbled and sat down.

Shuuk!

A dagger fiercely thrust in, targeting the opening created by my big attack.

'Tsk!'

I deployed a Mana Shield to stop the dagger and tried to counterattack, but the opponent had already withdrawn, retrieving his comrade with nimble movements.

"He's better than expected. He nearly knocked out this big guy with just a few punches."

The Ma-in with the dagger harbored a vile smile.

"This changes things a bit."

He forcibly grabbed the nape of a young man who was lying down on a seat trembling.

"Hiiik! W-wait....... Keuk!"

"Stay still."

Pook.

When the Ma-in's dagger pierced the man's stomach, the man collapsed without even making a sound.

"Hmm, it works well."

The Ma-in smiled with satisfaction.

"A poisoned dagger. A combination guys like you would enjoy."

"Bullshit."

The Ma-in jeered.

"If you don't want the hostage's head to fly off, shut your mouth and come here."

"Resorting to hostage-taking when force doesn't work. That's exactly the style trash like you would prefer."

The Ma-in's face distorted at the provocation, despite the explosive tension.

"You bastard, you're saying you don't care if the hostage dies? Huh?"

"Do as you please."

"What?"

'Liberation.'

Doogeun!

Feeling as if the sound of a heartbeat echoed in my ears, I took one step forward.

Pang!

My figure, which stamped the ground with such force that the floor broke, disappeared from the Ma-in's field of vision for a moment.

"This crazy bastard!"

Just as he was about to stab the hostage's neck, as if to grant my wish.

Bbaak!

I first kicked the Ma-in who was using the special ability, smashing him into the wall.

'Mana Shield.'

I surrounded the hostage's neck with a shield to block the stabbing, and then struck the back of the Ma-in's head.

Bbaak!

He collapsed without even making a sound.

"This dagger will be useful. I'll take it."

I picked up the dagger coated with paralyzing poison and opened the door to go to car 7.

Shuuk!

The Ma-in who had been waiting for that timing swung their knives sharply.

'They were waiting in the connecting car. Reinforcements were coming.'

I avoided the attack by stepping backward, then pulled back my fist.

'Liberation.'

Doogeun!

I extended forward, amplifying the explosively increased output through my foot, ankle, knee, pelvis, waist, and shoulder.

Bbaaaang!

The fist like a cannon shell sent the three Ma-in flying like bowling pins.

Kung! Kuwoong!

The Ma-in who flew beyond the connecting car into car 7 staggered and then collapsed completely.

"......."

It was a bigger catch than expected.

'I should have done this from the start.'

I felt a bit anticlimactic.

'I wonder where these guys came from.'

Each one was at least a B-rank Ma-in.

"K-kuk. Monster bastard."

One Ma-in who was at the back and thus hadn't lost consciousness squirmed and spat out curses.

"How much is my bounty to make you do this?"

"Kukukuk, curious?"

The Ma-in snickered.

"One billion won."

"That's impressive."

"Hehehe, don't get cocky just because you've taken down a few of us. Much stronger ones are swarming further ahead."

Bbeok!

I sighed as I kicked the jeering Ma-in's jaw to knock him out.

'Now we're only at car 7.'

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

But what Su-hyeon found when he arrived at car 6 were Ma-in already sprawled in the corner and passengers watching over them.

"......What happened?"

"Some hunter knocked down the Ma-in and said he was going forward!"

At a passenger's words, Su-hyeon tilted his head.

'There was a hunter?'

This was another unexpected situation.
