I Entered an Academy in a Ruined Game

Chapter 159 : Kill Jeong Su-hyeon (3)

After passing through car 6, Su-hyeon saw the same scene in car 5.

"Hmm."

The site of fierce battle where blood was splattered everywhere, seats were destroyed, and windows were broken.

And Ma-in who had been subdued while being slashed and stabbed near fatal areas.

'Quite a master.'

Surely they were stronger than the ones he had encountered.

Yet they ended up in such a state.

'Is this why there were fewer reinforcements than expected?'

"Do you know who fought here by any chance?"

To Su-hyeon's question, a passenger shook his head.

"No, he seemed like a hunter, but as for who he was......"

"I see."

"A-are you a hunter?"

"I'm a cadet from EFAC Academy."

"Ah."

It was a face showing half delight at the famous EFAC cadet, but half concern that he was still just an immature student after all.

"First of all, Ma-in won't be coming from behind. I subdued them."

"R-really?"

"That's impressive for a student."

"For now, since the situation isn't clear, it would be better for you to wait."

A child grabbed Su-hyeon's pants as he tried to pass through the aisle.

"Ex-excuse me."

"......?"

"D-don't get hurt......"

At those words, Su-hyeon's eyebrows twitched as if a bit surprised, but soon he smiled.

"Thanks for worrying about me."

When Su-hyeon arrived at car 4, the train cafe, he could see a man engaged in fierce combat surrounded by as many as four Ma-in.

"Slippery bastard!"

The man was holding butterfly twin swords in both hands, avoiding attacks with a peculiar movement technique that fluttered like a butterfly, and seamlessly connecting sharp counterattacks like flowing water.

'Butterfly twin swords. That weapon is rare.'

Butterfly twin swords.

A pair of swords that were frequently used in China in the mid-19th century, with short blades, wide single edges, and good portability.

'Thanks to the wide single edge like a machete, it delivers considerable power in slashing attacks.'

Su-hyeon was inwardly amazed by the skill of the man who perfectly handled two swords and displayed a mastery of unified offense and defense.

'Who on earth is he? He's different from anyone I know.'

To think there was an existence not even in Su-hyeon's memory.

How many such cases had there been since he dropped into this game world?

'But as long as he's fighting Ma-in, whoever this man is, there's room for cooperation for now.'

Given the characteristics of the train cafe, he was fighting well even in a chaotic situation by utilizing the space that was wider than other cars.

But judging by the movements of the Ma-in he was facing, it was uncertain how long he could hold out in a 4-against-1 situation.

"That's enough."

As Su-hyeon stepped forward, the Ma-in's attention turned to him.

"Who's this guy now!"

"No, that's Jeong Su-hyeon!"

The Ma-in who recognized Su-hyeon's face exchanged glances.

"Coming this far, he's no ordinary guy."

"No time. Let's finish this quickly and take care of him too."

One thin-built Ma-in holding a MacGyver knife, and one Ma-in holding a hand axe.

Su-hyeon was not intimidated at all despite the approach of Ma-in whose murderous madness unique to serial killers was flashing, having killed who knows how many.

"This bastard's got guts."

Su-hyeon took out the dagger he had collected earlier.

'I've learned dagger combat techniques from Nam Tae-hoon before.'

Su-hyeon thought.

'Though not in this run.'

It was a curious thing when he thought about it.

Su-hyeon had merely learned a few techniques and principles through the screen, and then practiced them by himself through self-study, remembering them.

Yet he was quite capable of using them plausibly.

Isn't it just like learning baseball and basketball from watching cartoons and getting good at them?

But Su-hyeon's innate athletic ability, talent, and comprehension made such a thing possible.

Lowering his posture, Su-hyeon held the dagger in a saber grip, controlling the handle with his thumb upright.

At Su-hyeon's aura, suggesting he would slash anyone who entered his domain, the two Ma-in spread out widely to the left and right, surrounding him.

"Hyaaat!"

Bwoong!

The attack of a Ma-in swinging an axe with enough momentum to split Su-hyeon in one go.

Su-hyeon tried to slash the wrist while backing away to avoid it, but.

'Idiot, you think I'd let you?'

A thrust that didn't give him room for counterattack came targeting Su-hyeon.

Chaeng! Chaeaeng!

While deflecting the blade, an axe came flying again, drawing a large trajectory.

'Textbook. Two people on both sides pouring fast thrusts and slow but deadly slashes.'

Against a quite effective and powerful combined attack, all Su-hyeon could do was evade and defend.

Bwoong!

Avoiding the blue axe blade that passed by, cutting his hair.

Chaeng!

After exquisitely deflecting the blade piercing his abdomen, he jumped and delivered a left roundhouse kick.

When the Ma-in with the axe retreated to avoid the attack, Su-hyeon crossed his left and right feet and struck the chest of the other one with a right front kick.

Pueok!

The Ma-in who took quite a hit despite guarding with both arms was retreating when.

'Here it comes!'

Bwoong!

Su-hyeon, who noticed the axe strike targeting his widely exposed back, created a Mana Shield in the air and lowered his body to sweep the floor with his leg.

"Kuk!"

The Ma-in whose axe strike was blocked by the shield and whose leg was tripped wobbled greatly.

'Now!'

Su-hyeon passed by his side with ghost-like footwork and slashed his side with the dagger.

"Kruk!"

Pook pook pook!

Su-hyeon, who had instantly slashed the chest and back in succession before the Ma-in could react, finished by deeply stabbing the dagger into the abdomen of the Ma-in who was in pain.

"Y-you bastard! You young punk seem to have dipped your hands in blood before!"

The Ma-in said, grinding his teeth through the surging pain.

"Perhaps."

As Su-hyeon answered and tried to pull out the blade, his eyebrows twitched.

'This bastard?'

"Kuhehe, where are you trying to escape to."

The Ma-in who had caught the blade with poison-filled eyes despite suffering from a paralyzing poison-coated dagger several times, sneered.

'Persistent. This is no ordinary tenacity.'

Su-hyeon, who had withdrawn without hesitation, releasing the dagger, cleanly turned the Ma-in's jaw with a left hook.

Bbakak!

The Ma-in who couldn't withstand the damage collapsed while hiding the dagger under his stomach, but.

Unfortunately, his desperate struggle was of little significance.

'The dagger isn't my main weapon anyway. That was a wasted effort.'

Su-hyeon, with Mana Shields on both hands, calmly avoided, deflected, and parried the offense of the Ma-in who was thrusting the MacGyver knife.

'Quick and solid.'

Su-hyeon thought.

Moreover, the sharp knife with aura easily tore through the Mana Shield.

'The blade is small, so its density must be that much higher.'

Therefore, Su-hyeon chose to target the wrist for defense instead of directly receiving the knife.

Shu shu shuk!

Su-hyeon, who precisely saw with his Eye Power the blade coming like a writhing snake, deflected it and threw a lightning-fast right straight.

Bbakak!

The Ma-in's body flinched at the straight that penetrated through his somewhat loose rear cover.

'His cover is weak.'

As Su-hyeon continued to launch one-two straights with his body relaxed, the Ma-in kept taking damage and backing away.

"Hup!"

Su-hyeon, who feinted as if throwing a large rear hook, planted a left middle kick into the Ma-in's side.

Bbakak!

"Kruk!"

Su-hyeon's right hand firmly grabbed the collar of the Ma-in who was stumbling, clutching his side.

"Hup!"

Su-hyeon turned his waist like lightning and slammed the Ma-in to the floor.

Kwaaaang!

"Kaaak!"

The Ma-in who was thrown without being able to take a proper break fall trembled and fainted.

But.

"This bastard."

Su-hyeon pulled out and threw away the knife stuck in his side.

Even while being thrown, the Ma-in had struggled and somehow stabbed his side.

"Whew."

Su-hyeon, who took off the t-shirt he was wearing, tore the shirt and tied up his side himself.

'Quite tricky.'

Fortunately, it had missed his internal organs, but if it hadn't, it could have been quite dangerous.

"Oh, you took down those two? That's impressive."

The hunter who had already dealt with two Ma-in walked toward Su-hyeon, snickering.

"Wow, thanks man. Without you, it would have been a disaster."

"......"

Perhaps he was in his mid-30s?

The man wiped his blood-stained butterfly twin swords once, then sheathed the two swords simultaneously in one scabbard.

"How about it, cool right? I bought it for a high price. It's called a butterfly twin sword......"

"You fight well."

Despite Su-hyeon's attitude of cutting off his words, the man shrugged without any awkwardness.

"Hehe, you have a good eye. Is it that a master recognizes another master? Right?"

Khwaaaak.

Su-hyeon, who had finished stopping the bleeding by tying the torn t-shirt like a bandage, rose to his feet.

"By the way, your body is killer. A properly trained body. Me, I've been drinking too much lately, so my sides have fat......"

To the man who was strangely flippant without tension, Su-hyeon first introduced himself.

"I'm Jeong Su-hyeon. And you?"

"I'm Kang Woojung. A hunter, as you can see."

"I see."

"But you. What's with that unsightly mask?"

"......It's difficult to get a Ma-in neutralizing agent."

"Huh? With those skills, you can't get a Ma-in neutralizing agent allocation? That's impossible....... Are you from the underworld despite your appearance?"

"I'm still a cadet."

"A cadet?"

Kang Woojung, saying that was unexpected, rubbed his coarse beard.

"Wow, high school students these days are no joke. Do all of you fight as well as you? I'm sure that's not the case."

"......Well, I'm quite good at fighting."

"I see. That must be it."

Kang Woojung nodded.

"Alright, Jeong Su-hyeon. We're all in a screwed-up situation, are you willing to cooperate?"

"There's no choice now, is there?"

"Hehe, you have no cute side, huh."

"Do you have any plans or information? These Ma-in are new to me."

"Hmm. Fortunately, I know a bit about those guys."

"Who are they?"

"Kids these days wouldn't know. They left Korea more than 10 years ago. They were quite notorious back in the day......"

Kang Woojung's explanation continued.

"Indeed."

Su-hyeon nodded.

'Similar yet different from the Sword of Belphegor's "Summoner".'

If his ability was to freely open and close his subspace.

The ability of the Ma-in who hijacked the current train was closer to connecting the space itself to himself and making it a new dimension.

"So in the end, if we kill him, the space itself will disappear, and we'll all die."

"That's right. That's why my theory is that we need to make him lose control by knocking him out, not killing him, for the barrier to be released."

"You know quite a lot. Do you have some connection with them?"

To Su-hyeon's question.

"Hehehe. Are you that curious?"

Kang Woojung smiled ambiguously.

"But that's not what's important right now. Right?"

"That's correct."

Su-hyeon readily agreed.

"Anyway, what's important now is surviving here."

"Right. There are still three cars left, and stronger guys will appear as we go on."

'I had expected this flow to continue after the Blood Plaza incident, but there has never been a direct action targeting my life among the simultaneous terrorism occurring in various places.'

Su-hyeon thought.

Since the situation had already changed a lot from previous runs.

Unexpected variables would undoubtedly continue to grow in the future.

"First, let's somehow catch and beat up the guy who put up this barrier."

"Sounds good."

The two men shook hands.

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

The two men who entered car 3 had to receive a heated welcome from the start.

"Get down!"

Drrrrrrrk!

A baptism of armor-piercing bullets filled with mana greeted the two.

"That crazy bastard. He's going to destroy everything!"

Piyung! Piywoong!

Su-hyeon's face hardened at the ominous power contained in the bullets.

'A power that even a Mana Shield can't withstand for more than a few shots.'

Being exposed to such powerful firearms in the narrow space of a train car was a considerably dangerous situation.

"Don't worry. There were only five passengers in car 2. Go ahead and rampage all you want."

The Ma-in who instantly emptied a rifle magazine laughed as he changed magazines.

"Of course, none of them are left now."

"......You killed them all?"

"Kuhehe! They were crawling like earthworms, and I got bored waiting!"

The Ma-in laughed madly.

"If you had come just five minutes earlier, you might have saved a couple of them! Too bad!"

Su-hyeon's expression cooled as the Ma-in showed off a passenger's corpse who had died from excessive bleeding due to a deep neck wound.

'Completely insane bastards.'

Gugugugugu.

As mana circulation boiled over through his blood vessels, Su-hyeon's hair began to rise.

"Are you red Ma-in?"

"What?"

"I'm asking if you're heads that can be killed without a problem."

"Kuhehe!"

The Ma-in sneered.

"What if we are?"

Su-hyeon took one step forward.

"I'll simply dispose of you according to the principles."

"I wonder if you can say the same thing after your intestines are all pulled out."

The Ma-in sneered.

And Su-hyeon didn't smile.
