I Entered an Academy in a Ruined Game

Chapter 162 : Kill Jeong Su-hyeon (6)

"Phew, these bastards are damn persistent."

Kang Woojung, who was struggling with the high-level joint attack of the two Ma-in, happily raised his hand when he saw Su-hyeon suddenly jumping down from the ceiling.

"Hey! What's this! Did you come to help? What happened to that guy?"

Regardless, Su-hyeon opened the carrier he had brought and took out the Moonless Sword.

"Hey, what are you doing? Anyway, help me... Hey! Where are you going, man!"

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

"Oh, you came?"

Ko Kyeong-ho, who was checking his groin that had been trampled by me earlier, chuckled.

"You punk, there's honor among thieves. How could you stomp on this old man's precious area like that?"

"Hmm. I see even you find it uncomfortable to be hit there."

Sring.

As I drew the Moonless Sword from its scabbard, Ko Kyeong-ho exclaimed at the dark blade that didn't shine at all even under the sunlight.

"Wow, that's a nice sword. Where did you buy it?"

"It's custom-made."

"Even better. It would fetch a good price if I sold it."

"Try it if you can."

"Hehehe, look at this punk acting tough just because he's holding a sword."

Woong.

The Moonless Sword, which greedily absorbed my sword energy, rang clearly.

Though it was still an unsharpened practice sword, the moment fierce will-infused mana was imbued, an incomparably sharp sword energy was created.

Whoosh!

From a distance of easily over 5 meters, the flying strike I launched cleanly sliced off Ko Kyeong-ho's left ear as he stood there swagger.

"...!"

Looking back and forth between his bloody severed ear on the ground and me, Ko Kyeong-ho burst into laughter as if he'd lost his mind.

"Hahahaha, look at this bastard?"

Flying Strike.

It was the moment I first used in actual combat the technique I learned from the sword spirit.

'It works well.'

"You seem quite surprised."

"Of course I'm surprised, man!"

Ko Kyeong-ho shouted angrily.

"You're about to make my nickname 'One-Ear' because of you!"

"......"

'He says such things at a time like this.'

The madman was truly mad.

"Kuhehe, I was right after all. I haven't seen many swordsmen who can do something like this!"

"Is that so?"

I said.

"Then today will probably be the last time."

"Punk! I'll give you credit for your attitude."

Ko Kyeong-ho ground his teeth and approached me, but.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Every time I swung the Moonless Sword, slashes flew through the air, tearing it apart and cutting Ko Kyeong-ho's skin.

Splash!

Ko Kyeong-ho became enraged at the flying strikes that cut his skin and made him bleed without pain.

"Enough of that. Are you going to keep pecking at me from a distance?"

"And why shouldn't I?"

"Because it's no fun!"

Ko Kyeong-ho growled as he drew up more mana, causing a dark aura to rise from his fist.

'Fist energy, is it.'

While being a Ma-in, he was also proficient in mana control enough to use fist energy.

Indeed, the Ma-in named Ko Kyeong-ho before me was no ordinary opponent.

'What tremendous pressure.'

Moreover, since he was an enemy I had never faced before, I had to allow several attacks and go through trial and error to understand his patterns and tactics.

But there was progress.

'I've figured out your fighting style.'

So now it was my turn.

'Tachypsychia Mode.'

I activated only the Tachypsychia Mode without using Liberation.

'If I use Liberation too, long-term battle becomes impossible.'

"Raaah!"

Ko Kyeong-ho deflected the flying strikes with his fist energy-coated fist and charged in.

At that speed, I could fire at most two flying strikes.

Bwoong!

I launched flying strikes at his upper and lower body.

He ducked to avoid one and blocked the other with his fist. When Ko Kyeong-ho finally approached right before me.

Slash!

Avoiding his cannon-like straight punch while stepping back, I deeply slashed his collarbone.

But the feeling on my hand was only dull.

'I barely cut the skin?'

Due to the characteristic hardness of Ma-in who had absorbed mana, I couldn't cut through even the muscles, let alone the bones, but.

Splash!

'The bleeding is quite substantial.'

That was enough for now.

Bwoong!

Seeing Ko Kyeong-ho's furious punches in slow motion as if he was enraged.

Slash!

Each time, I swung the Moonless Sword without fail and drew blood.

"You bastard!"

Ko Kyeong-ho, who could absorb impact but couldn't do anything about being cut by a sword, began to get excited with each attack he allowed.

And that wasn't entirely good for me.

'It's hard to maintain balance here.'

A dangerous situation where one mistake could instantly reverse the tide of battle.

However, the more intense the sense of crisis became, the more acutely my body's senses were awakening.

Dodge, cut, deflect, and move away.

"Fuck!"

When he recklessly closed the distance and reached out his hand, I retreated like a ghost while swinging my sword like a snake, cutting his arm, shoulder, and leg.

After retreating step by step until I was pushed back to the middle of the train.

"Huk! Huk!"

Ko Kyeong-ho was breathing heavily, in a miserable state with his entire body slashed and covered in blood.

'According to plan.'

Though I had consumed quite a bit of mana and stamina.

It was a stark contrast to me, who hadn't allowed a single attack since drawing the Moonless Sword.

"You're less talkative than before."

With the completely reversed situation, I taunted him in return.

"Hehe, hehehe."

Ko Kyeong-ho finally laughed like a deranged person.

"Don't make me talk, man. Because it's just starting to get fun."

"Really?"

"By the way, since you've shown me this, I should return the favor."

Crunch.

Ko Kyeong-ho, clenching his fist until it nearly crushed, shot a fist wind at me.

"Eat this!"

'Fist wind!'

Though it wasn't as refined as Oh Chang-seong's.

When the fist wind shot from his fist carrying fist energy flew toward me, I likewise launched a flying strike to neutralize it.

"How about that? Pretty good for a little trick, isn't it?"

"If you could do this, why were you so upset earlier?"

"Do you really need to ask?"

Ko Kyeong-ho grinned.

"Because you're someone who can make me have even more fun than I'm having now!"

Bang bang bang!

Ko Kyeong-ho fired four consecutive fist winds and charged at me with a time lag.

When I dodged all the fist winds that flew at me in an instant, targeting my head, chest, knee, and stomach.

'He's fast!'

Ko Kyeong-ho had already entered within the range of the Moonless Sword.

From then on, it was a continuous exchange of attacks without a moment to catch my breath.

Dodging punches and kicks, swinging and thrusting the sword, mixing in unconventional kicks and punches.

'I can see it. I can avoid it.'

I had already been able to respond to Chu Jinhong's speed.

Slash!

As the fight continued, more and more wounds appeared on Ko Kyeong-ho's body, and my movements became more relaxed.

Whirl.

The sword tip wavered, creating an illusion like a flower.

When Ko Kyeong-ho's limbs followed the sword's illusion, unable to read the sword path.

Stab!

The Moonless Sword, which deeply stabbed a point on his thigh, successfully penetrated about one finger joint deep.

"Hehehe, stupid bastard!"

As Ko Kyeong-ho grabbed the blade with a triumphant smile.

Crack!

An elbow strike with my full body weight connected with his jaw.

"Kuk?!"

Ko Kyeong-ho fell on his buttocks as his legs gave way.

"Shit, what the."

"The human body is honest."

Throughout the continued fight, Ko Kyeong-ho had lost quite a lot of blood and received many attacks.

'Even if it absorbs impact and prevents feeling pain, the damage accumulated from continuous hits to the jaw, neck, and cervical area doesn't become zero.'

I realized this fact when I saw him checking his groin.

'If damage didn't accumulate at all, he would have been invincible as long as he had mana. But if that were the case, there would have been no need to check such damage.'

And now.

Finally, the accumulated damage was causing abnormalities in Ko Kyeong-ho's bodily functions.

In other words.

"It's over now."

"Bullshit!"

The moment Ko Kyeong-ho tried to launch a fist wind.

Stab!

I stepped off the trajectory and extended my sword, slashing across Ko Kyeong-ho's left eye.

"Aaaaargh!"

With his eyeball burst, Ko Kyeong-ho attacked like a berserker, but.

In a situation where I could clearly anticipate Ko Kyeong-ho's moves, combined with my overwhelming reaction speed through Tachypsychia Mode, I skillfully avoided his attacks like a matador facing an old bull, then.

"Heup!"

Clang!

Finally cut off Ko Kyeong-ho's right arm.

"Kuuuu, you fucking!"

The now one-armed Ma-in clutched his severed arm and howled.

"Does it hurt now?"

"Hurt? Kuhehehe, even in this state, it doesn't hurt, what can you do?"

Ko Kyeong-ho burst into a sardonic laugh.

His ear cut off, eye burst, and arm fallen off.

Yet his body couldn't feel pain.

"Perhaps."

I said.

"Perhaps because you couldn't feel pain, you wandered around seeking pleasure and stimulation all the more."

At those words, Ko Kyeong-ho nodded.

"You talk like you know everything just because you have a mouth that works."

But.

"...Well, maybe. Maybe you're right."

From the moment he realized his life was ruined.

The expression of Ko Kyeong-ho, who finally realized that decades of life without brakes or signs had been pushed to the edge of a cliff, was filled with bitter emptiness.

"Kill me."

"You think dying is better than spending the rest of your life locked up in Black Castle?"

Ko Kyeong-ho smirked as if to say "do you really need to ask?"

Because even if he survived by luck, the fate awaiting him was obvious.

"Hehehehe. What a dog's fate, getting played by some kid."

"Do you regret it?"

"Regret my ass. I'm just embarrassed."

"Don't the voices and faces of the people you killed come to mind?"

"Do I look like a fish to forget them all?"

Ko Kyeong-ho sniggered as he shed bloody tears from his burst eye.

"Idiot, if you're going to kill me, just do it without saying anything. Is this the time to play twenty questions with me? Is there something you want to hear?"

"...I see."

I closed my eyes, and.

Clang!

Ko Kyeong-ho's head soared into the sky.

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

"So much damn banging around."

Jeong Yeongil, sitting in the conductor's cabin, grumbled.

"How long does it take to catch two guys? Jumping around on the ceiling, raising hell in the back car, it's a festival of chaos."

"That Kang Woojung guy must be quite skilled."

At his subordinate's words, he clicked his tongue.

"Of course. He's a rat among rats who managed to grab an insignia and run away from that hellhole."

"Well, anyway, it's not like the guy can escape from our grasp on his own."

"Of course not."

Jeong Yeongil had absolute faith in the skills of Ko Kyeong-ho, who had survived with him for decades.

"By the way, that kid Jeong Su-hyeon seems pretty capable too."

"I guess that's why the Sword of Belphegor paid us to take care of him."

"Even so, when you look at those bastards closely..."

It was at that very moment.

Crack!

With the sound of metal being scraped, the ceiling suddenly opened and a man jumped down.

"Wh-what the!"

Crack!

Before the startled subordinate could react, he was knocked unconscious by a blow to the jaw.

"You're the barrier caster?"

"Y-you, you're Jeong Su-hyeon? How did you!"

"Seeing you ask the obvious, you're quite dull."

Su-hyeon's cold voice flowed from behind his blood-soaked mask.

"Do you recognize whose head this is?"

"...Shit, Kyeong-ho got taken down? By the likes of you?"

The moment the shock on Jeong Yeongil's face turned into killing intent.

Whack!

Su-hyeon knocked him unconscious with a powerful body blow before he could try anything.

"Kuuarrgh!"

As Jeong Yeongil, foaming at the mouth with rolled-back eyes, went limp.

Rumble rumble rumble.

The barrier surrounding the train began to vibrate and dissolve.

"I won't kill you."

Su-hyeon spat.

As a student, it wasn't good to kill recklessly, even if they were Ma-in.

'All this will go into the evaluation later.'

White Castle and Black Castle as punishment, and disposition through trial.

He had no intention of leaving any impression of resistance to the firmly established system.

[You have cleared the sudden quest "Train Robbery"!]

[Amazing achievement! You have defeated the notorious Ma-in Ko Kyeong-ho and released the barrier to save the citizens!]

[Calculating achievement points......]

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

At the same time.

Crash!

Kang Woojung, who had subdued the two Ma-in after a fierce struggle, chuckled as he saw the barrier dissipating.

"Wow, that kid is really something. Did he take down Ko Kyeong-ho?"

To think that Ko Kyeong-ho, whom he had been carefully avoiding because he wasn't confident he could win, had fallen to the hands of a mere student.

"Hehehehe."

He burst into laughter.

"Thanks to that, I can escape now."

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

When the barrier was lifted and the train reappeared on the tracks, two Execution Force teams that had been on standby in helicopters immediately deployed to the train, stopped it, and began cleaning up the scene.

"Damn it, this is terrible."

But the Squad Leader sighed in relief seeing that many passengers had survived.

"Start rescue operations first! Isolate the subdued Ma-in and clean up the bodies to prevent civilians from inhaling magical energy!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Move quickly!"

He approached Su-hyeon, who was nearly exhausted and receiving Ma-in neutralizer.

"Are you Cadet Jeong Su-hyeon? You've done an amazing job."

"Not at all."

Su-hyeon answered.

"I didn't do it alone."

As he spoke, Su-hyeon seemed to realize something and asked.

"...By the way, where is Hunter Kang Woojung?"

"Huh?"

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

Kang Woojung had jumped off the still-moving train just as the barrier fell and the Execution Force members rushed in, and was now running through the mountains.

"Hahahahaha!"

He laughed loudly as he caressed his neck.

"This neck of mine is truly the toughest in the world."

But this time it had been really close.

"If those bastards knew enough to come after me, the rumors must have spread quite far."

Nevertheless.

He had survived once again.

"This is destiny."

He took out a small box from his chest.

"Hehehe, cute little thing."

Now there was no time to delay, nor any reason to.

"Once I get rid of this and leave this field, it's over."

His eyes gleamed with greed.
