chapter 20
19. President’s True Education
“Ha… You’re finally here again.”
Helmund Academy arrived wearing a mask. Things have changed a lot since I first came here, but the buildings remain the same.
“I’m… a masked instructor!”
Not surprisingly, as soon as I arrived, the crowd began to gather.
“Wow! What will you show me this time?”
“Do you have any plans?”
“President Baek Joo-seok is one of the top class A wizards, but do you think you can win the match without using external mana?”
Questions from reporters. But I couldn’t answer as calmly as before. because he was insane.
The reason I’m crazy is because I see girls watching me from afar.
‘f*ck…’
Hyunseo Baek, Haru Lee, Seulgi Yoon, Siyeon Kim. Among the disciples, they were the ones I loved the most.
***
Kim Si-yeon gestured towards the masked instructor who could be seen in the distance and talked.
“Wow, that’s awesome. really came It’s the first time I’ve seen the real thing, and it’s very strange.”
Haru Lee also responded to Kim Si-yeon’s words.
“I can’t see my face because of the mask, but the pose isn’t a joke. After all, the person who first discovered the extraordinary use of mana called the use of external mana is probably not an ordinary person.”
Yoon Seulgi murmured.
“Si… It’s amazing… Is he really going to fight the president?…”
Baek Hyun-seo, who was next to him, spoke with a firm expression.
“Father, you’re probably really going to fight… Because he hates being ignored by anyone… Maybe that masked instructor will be in trouble…”
Baek Hyun-seo knows his father’s personality. He has a strong self-esteem, but can’t stand it when someone ignores him. If there is someone who ignores him, he has a cruel personality that retaliates even if he pours everything into him.
Such a father was still a warm person only to his daughter, Baek Hyun-seo. However, that has become a thing of the past. Suddenly, she remembered what had happened before with President Baek Ju-seok.
The point is the same day she was caught using the intranet master key.
– Shut up. You just keep an eye on how things are going in the future. All of this is your responsibility. If you go around talking nonsense, then you will be dug up in the family register, so from now on, live like a mouse.
-bang
– Whoa, whoa…
She stared blankly at the closed door, crying. Then, after kicking the door open, President Baek Joo-seok entered the house once again.
– Baek Hyun-seo, there were still things I couldn’t say, but I forgot. I’m angry, but Choi Joo-won’s child may realize that you’re the only one who can use the sub-master key, and that you intervened in this matter. Because that kid is cunning and clever. Such an inference might be possible.
Baek Joo-seok approached Baek Hyun-seo and spoke in his ear.
– Just by any chance, if you go to the academy tomorrow and ask you if that damn Choi Joo-won used the master key, talk as if you didn’t know at all. If smoke doesn’t work, appeal to your emotions. It means acting with sincerity. By the way, if you seem to have noticed what you used, you said you didn’t mean to, it was a mistake, you didn’t want to, and do your best to deceive him. If you ever find out later, keep reminding yourself in your head to reduce the risk even a little, you didn’t do it on purpose. did you know
– Ah… I see… Father…
– Act as usual. And look like an asshole to that bastard. If you act like that, maybe you can use her sympathy later.
– And remember. If the moment comes when you confess to yourself that you used the intranet for the sake of the instructor, you will use all your contacts to kill Choi Joo-won, whom you like. If four years act well, he’ll end up being framed, but if he doesn’t act well, you’ll have to watch him turn into a corpse. So do the right thing. Unless you want to see him die.
Hearing his father’s words, Baek Hyun-seo kept repeating himself.
He said he didn’t want to, and he didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t know things would get this serious. As if I didn’t know the seriousness of the intranet, I left my head blank. Then, as usual, she bought a cake the next day and went to the academy.
Not surprisingly, Choi Joo-won questioned her. Choi Joo-won knew the existence of the sub-master key, so it was natural for him to notice.
– Hey, was it you?…
– What… what do you mean? It’s me, isn’t it?…”
– You don’t have a cell phone, and the academy just arrived. But how do you know what happened today?”
Towards Choi Joo-won, who is interrogating him, Baek Hyeon-seo denied what his father said, but he was immediately exposed because of his mistake. Baek Hyun-seo started acting as his father said. It’s as if I accidentally used the intranet master key, but I still don’t know how serious it is.
-Is that…is it that serious…?
Shivering like a fool, he reacted as if he had accidentally touched the intranet. And it kept repeating itself in my mind. I didn’t know it was going to be this bad, it was a mistake.
After that, she kept repeating herself. It was just a mistake. It was just a mistake. As her father said, she acted and thought. But at the same time, a feeling of guilt was deeply ingrained in her heart.
‘I want to reveal the truth… I confess that I used the intranet and want to get rid of the frame… I just wanted to monopolize the instructor, I really didn’t want things to get this serious… ‘
Living day by day is painful and full of regrets. If he had not foolishly wanted to monopolize Choi Joo-won, he would have been by his side by now, not Yang Han-gil, but Choi Joo-won. Even if I gave a failing point every time, I would have taken care of myself and took care of myself. On my birthday, I wouldn’t have been kicked out so miserably, I would have been congratulated by a lot of people.
‘I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…’
She repeated it dozens of times a day.
‘If it weren’t for my father… I would be able to relieve your injustice… That way, I would be able to take responsibility for what I did…’
To her now, her father was like the chains that bound her.
Obviously, the intranet incident was something she did herself. But now that she wants to reveal the truth and take responsibility, her father is in control of all her actions to protect her pride and honor.
‘Please… from this swamp of terrible guilt… someone get me out…’
She was getting more and more exhausted.
***
Helmund Academy magic workshop. There were a lot of people gathered there.
Academy students, as well as reporters and creators, and countless guilds and the general public. I came to watch the battle between me and Baek Joo-seok.
“Masked Teacher! Preparations for filming are all over!”
Jang Hana spoke in a bright voice. At that time, Seol Eun-ah next to me also said to me.
“Masked teacher. The part you mentioned last time I prepared in advance. If there is any problem, I will prepare it so that the operation can be carried out immediately.”
“thank you. Did you bring enough people?”
“We brought half of our guild members.”
“good. That is enough.”
Everything is ready. I went up to the magic arena and shouted.
“President Baek Joo-suk! An amateur scammer instructor has come to learn from you. Please, please do not run away and come up!”
– hard
Baek Ju-seok, who was waiting nearby, trudged up to the top of the magic arena. He was holding a wand with an ominous energy that he had never used before.
I said sarcastic.
“What happened to the cane? I don’t think it’s an ordinary cane, is it? Did you get a new weapon because you were afraid of losing?”
He was speaking calmly, but the energy emanating from the wand was clearly ‘Magi’.
‘You crazy bastard, aren’t you trying to do something really crazy?’
I know the identity of that weapon. In general terms, it’s just a high-grade magic wand. However, the crystal ball placed on the staff is one of the ‘dark artifacts’ that can utilize enormous magical power if the hidden function is used.
‘Well, I expected this anyway.’
Whether you believe in Artifacts or not, Baek Joo-seok told me with a triumphant expression.
“It would be better not to provoke again and again. You cannot use external mana in this matchup. My magic is at the top of A-class. Your chances of defeating me are very slim.”
“hahaha. I’m looking forward to it. How powerful is that great A-class magician?”
I whispered into Baek Joo-seok’s ear, inaudible to others.
“Don’t keep nagging. You’re a bastard.”
Then Baek Joo-seok’s face turned red and answered me.
“Don’t even think about dying gracefully. I will make this dungeon into your grave.”
As I heard him, I giggled loudly, swung back and shouted at the crowd.
“Aren’t you tired of waiting? Without wasting time, let’s start the match right away. Everyone, from now on, the president of a prestigious academy. Please keep an eye out for the Creator Instructor Naburangi’s battle.”
In an instant, numbers began to appear on the electronic board.
-5… 4… 3… 2… 1….
As soon as the number on the electronic display reached 0, Baek Ju-seok cast a spell.
“Lightning Cannon”
-Grip support support support
Suddenly, a huge lightning bolt started flying towards me.
‘Hmm… this is using A-class magic from the start, right?”
“stone”
I quickly performed the stone magic.
-Kwago overglow
Naturally, the stone was smashed by the Class A magic Lightning Cannon.
In an instant, those who were watching Dalian began to gossip.
“Wow… After all, you’re not the president of a prestigious academy for nothing… How can you cast A-class magic so quickly?”
“By the way, that masked instructor can only use really low-level magic without external mana, right?”
“I know. What kind of lightning cannon are you trying to block with a stone? If I use external mana to stack multiple stones, does it make sense to try to block them with just one?”
– support support
A lump of lightning that has penetrated the stone strikes my body thrillingly.
“Shut up….”
Seeing how much I was in pain, Baek Joo-seok smiled wildly and looked at me and talked.
“To hear that an amateur morale instructor with no skills is touching the president of a prestigious academy, doesn’t it seem like you’ve chosen the wrong opponent for a long time? It’s going to come out so soon anyway. Why are you being so mean?”
Baek Ju-seok thought. The Masked Instructor, too, said that without external mana, his state was low, and he could only use low-level magic. So Baek Ju-seok spoke confidently of victory.
“You don’t even need to use S-class magic. I just over-prepared.”
Baek Ju-seok memorized the spell again.
“Lightning Cannon”
Then, in an instant, a huge chunk of electricity began to shoot at me.
At that point, I stopped pretending to be in pain, looked at him, smiled, and began to cast spells.
“Lightning Storm”
[S] Lightning Storm: Unleashes a thunderstorm of lightning at the opponent. The power of the storm is proportional to the amount of mana the caster uses.
The [S] Lightning Storm I fired rushed towards Baek Ju-seok’s [A] Lightning.
-Paang
A lightning storm that instantly pierces the White Tin’s Lightning Cannon.
“uh…? Huh?…Ah…Ice…”
Baek Ju-seok panicked and tried to use another spell, but it was already too late.
– Shhhh
In an instant, a lightning storm was heading towards Baek Ju-seok with great speed.
