Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Chapter 169

Seol Gyu-jin narrowed his eyes and held the medicine bottle with his right hand. Then, as he manifested his ability, a new light blue mana swirled around his left hand.

The hovering mana quickly entangled like a spider weaving a web and built a shape.

As the light faded, Seol Gyu-jin held the same bottle of medicine in both hands.

“Dad, you can stop now.”

Seol Ga-eun, who was watching from the side, turned his eyes to the words.

“Ga-eun… .”

“The rest can come from Veritas.”

Not only the mana potions stored in the headquarters, but also the potions airlifted from nearby guilds were used.

Even so, Seol Gyu-jin did not stop. As soon as I had enough energy, I cloned Sanity.

It was literally a soul-crushing operation.

She pretended to be fine for her daughter to watch, but the cost was gradually revealed.

Seol Gyu-jin gently held the hand of his daughter who was worried about him.

“Ga-eun, teacher Kang said. Let us all stay ‘good’.”

“that’s… Why all of a sudden?”

“That line is a law with different standards for each person. I guess Dad hasn’t filled that line yet.”

Taking a break now felt like an evil act to him.

Seol Gyu-jin answered and handed over the duplicated vials to her. He took a short breath and leaned against the wall.

“Of course, I don’t want to worry about my daughter. Still, please wait a little while so Dad can keep the line.”

“… okay.”

Seol Ga-eun was a little relieved at those words. The sound of footsteps came from behind her.

“ah… .”

Seol Ga-eun looked back and gave a brief exclamation.

It was an iron man, Kang Tae-min.

He nodded, looking at the stack of pill bottles and at the two women.

“You worked hard.”

“no. Compared to fighting to the death… .”

Seol Gyu-jin waved his hand with difficulty. Taemin Kang opened the subspace and put the medicine bottles in. The father and daughter were startled by the sudden opening of the subspace, but he didn’t care.

“Gungnir is ready to launch.”

“Is that so… .”

At Kang Tae-min’s words, the two people’s expressions changed completely. I couldn’t help but be nervous because my fate was going to change with this incident.

“If it’s okay, could you come out for a moment?”

“Me too?”

Seol Ga-eun’s eyes turned round. Wasn’t Gungnir’s launch needed only by the strongest?

“… I have something to tell you.”

* * *

Joo Tae-ji and Jung Joon-hyeok, who were in charge of external guards, also returned to the headquarters. Kang Tae-min stood in front of the 6 strongest people gathered, the president of the association, and Bae Seung-joo, the general manager.

Before long, he took off the suit’s helmet.

“… Teacher Kang?!”

“no… .”

“What is this… ?”

When Kang Tae-min’s face was visible inside the helmet, people who did not know his identity were amazed.

In particular, Bae Seung-joo was shocked. It was because the memory of criticizing the iron man in front of him flashed through his mind.

Eventually, their eyes turned to Kang Tae-min’s alter ego.

“… This is the body.”

The alter ego said so and nodded towards the main body. Kang Tae-min absorbed his alter ego again.

Kang Tae-min, who captured the flood of memories, glanced at the other people who were dumbfounded.

“The situation is serious enough that you need to reveal your identity.”

Only Johanna, who knew his true identity, spoke calmly.

“It is as you say. It’s a situation where you have to do your best.”

It was the reason he revealed his identity.

Kang Tae-min even absorbed the alter egos that were outside. If you couldn’t stop it here anyway, hiding your identity wasn’t a problem.

He had to do his best to deal with the pale moon.

“… This is true.”

It was Pyo Ji-hoon who came out of the shock first. He looked at Kang Tae-min and smiled.

“I am rather relieved because I am Mr. Kang.”

“Um… Certainly it is.”

Then, Ju Taiji shook his head as if agreeing.

“A fight that no one recognizes is an arduous law, but I don’t know how I endured it. I feel fortunate to be able to share that burden even now.”

“… Well, it’s definitely shocking, but I agree.”

Hwang Ye-ri sighed with her arms crossed.

“To be honest, I was nervous about following my words under a person I didn’t know. But if it’s Mr. Kang, you can trust him.”

“Um… Indeed it is.”

Jung Joon-hyeok shook his head with a serious expression.

“Mr. Kang is an outcast to me. However, I thought that the iron man was superior to him, but I never thought it would be the same person. If so, didn’t Mr. Kang, whom I dealt with, not even show the brilliance of his potential?”

He clenched his fists and continued.

“When this work is over, please teach me properly again!”

The strongest people accepted Kang Tae-min for their own reasons. It was all thanks to his help in matters big and small.

“… Mr. Kang, was your alter ego conscious?”

Seol Gyu-jin’s reaction was a little different. At his question, Taemin Kang shook his head.

“It’s a bit different from the president’s ability, but it’s true.”

“Then, really… You are consistent.”

Seol Gyu-jin was a person who deeply realized that his alter ego could change.

However, Kang Tae-min’s main body and alter ego’s behavior were consistent. It meant that the will was firm, and the will was oriented towards good intentions.

“That’s enough for me.”

Seol Gyu-jin reduced his words.

Since Kang Tae-min had shown his side, all he had to do was trust him and leave it to him.

The last person, Bae Seung-joo, was still confused. However, Kang Tae-min did not wait for his answer.

“Then let’s talk about our plans after arriving in the Pale Moon.”

It was another reason Kang Tae-min revealed his identity.

It was because he had to use his subspace to transport a large amount of Sanity.

It was because Joo Tae-ji and Hwang Ye-ri already knew the existence of sub-space, so they would have noticed the identity.

Everyone’s faces hardened seriously as he explained the plan.

* * *

A huge magic circle was drawn around Gungnir. While Johanna was doing the final inspection, the wizards of Veritas took their places.

And there were two people who didn’t fit in among them.

“got it? You two must not make a mistake.”

“Yes, yes!”

“The spirits are always ready.”

It was Song Dae-beom and Yoo Hwa-rin. The two checked the safety of their parents and visited the headquarters. And it became the core of the role of Gungnir’s propellant.

Kang Tae-min looked at them and turned his head.

“Mr. Lua.”

“Seniors.”

Lua was there.

She made up her usual face, but Kang Tae-min could sense that she was nervous.

‘I’m sure he’s worried.’

Isn’t it a matter of life and death of himself and his brother, and moreover, there is no choice. It was a strange situation not to be nervous.

“Do not worry. Everything will be fine.”

“I think so too.”

Contrary to the answer, Irua’s voice trembled. She took a short breath and held Kang Tae-min’s hand.

“… Mr. Lua?”

“That, remember? I… You said you wanted me to be happy.”

“That’s it, of course… .”

Taemin Kang, who was trying to answer, was speechless. Even for physical reasons.

A soft touch touched his lips. I could see Irua’s face with her eyes closed tightly.

The little by little reddening of the skin, and even the trembling transmitted over the lips. There was nothing unfamiliar about it.

It wasn’t long, but the unforgettable moment was over, even if it wasn’t for his memory ability.

“… It’s my first time, so it’s a bit awkward.”

Kang Tae-min suddenly felt that Eru-ah’s face was like a ripe peach.

“If it’s not now, I don’t think I can tell you.”

A pounding heartbeat filled my ears. Kang Taemin was confused whether it was his or Lee Lua’s.

The reason was immediately clear.

Because both of their hearts were beating wildly.

“For me to be happy.”

Every single syllable of Eruah’s voice was embedded in my brain.

“I need a senior.”

No karma log was needed to confirm the truth of those words. Her eyes, her breath, her every expression spoke the truth.

‘ah… .’

Memories flooded in like a tidal wave.

The past life and present life, the image of Irua filled my head.

When I lost her in my previous life, and when I almost lost her in this life.

The emotions I felt at that time were condensed into one sentence.

‘I was in love with her.’

At first, it was a feeling of kinship. They were partners pursuing the same goal. When I lost her, I felt guilty.

I thought so when I met her again in the present life. But I didn’t want to risk it again. I wanted to keep her by my side. I wanted to undo the mistakes of my previous life. I wanted her to be happy.

And at the base of all those thoughts, there were emotions that he had suppressed for his own goals.

Taemin Kang gently shakes Leerua’s hand.

“ah… .”

Could it be a refusal? The moment she sighed briefly.

Taemin Kang hugged her.

“I keep my word.”

He met Eruah’s eyes as he looked up at him and smiled.

“We will be happy together.”

Tears welled up in Irua’s eyes.

Kang Tae-min wiped away the tears that flowed down her cheeks as she smiled broadly.

After that, no one said anything first. The kiss was shared again, but unlike the first time, it was a more affectionate time because it contained affection.

Unfortunately, circumstances did not allow for more.

“Okay, I’m ready.”

“uh… Are there any rehearsals?”

“… Will there be?”

It was the voices of Yohanna and Song Dae-beom.

The time to launch Gungnir was approaching. Taemin Kang gently separated her.

“ah… .”

Eruah’s face was a mix of ecstasy and regret, but she didn’t catch him. Instead, he touched his lips, as if trying not to forget the touch.

“I will definitely come back.”

Kang Tae-min left her behind and moved on.

* * *

A huge explosion erupted beneath Gungnir. Layered barriers bound the explosive force from leaking out.

Soon, the huge body of Gungnir left the ground due to the rising flames. The fierce flames immediately turned white.

It was the power of the spirit Yuhwarin summoned. Soon after gaining momentum, Gungnir began to accelerate on the trajectory set by Hwang Ye-ri.

Taemin Kang stood alone on top of Gungnir.

On top of the high-speed Gungnir, it was difficult for even the strongest to withstand the pressure.

Because of this, Kang Tae-min had the other strongest people evacuate to sub-space.

‘Fuck, I’m going to go after this first… !’

Except for Hwang Ye-ri, who has to maintain her orbit. She was lying flat on the surface of Gungnir wearing the suit Taemin Kang had made for her.

To give maximum impact, Gungnir’s mass had to be maintained, so the interior could not be left empty. It was a high school job that came out of this.

‘How the hell are you standing there?’

The roar that shreds the air and the situation of being weighed down by that huge pressure was an environment that even she, who had wandered through countless battlefields, could not easily adapt to.

‘It seems that Kang Tae-min of the world is also nervous.’

Still, it was definitely a burden, but the movement was rigid. It was amazing to move on top of it in the first place, but anyway.

However, if Hwang Ye-ri had been able to read Kang Tae-min’s thoughts, she would have been embarrassed.

‘… I wonder if it would have been better if I hugged her one more time.’

Kang Tae-min was thinking of Lee Lu-ah.

He had always pursued cool and rational actions, so he wasn’t used to surrendering to his emotions.

He was reviewing his actions to Eruah to make sure he hadn’t made a mistake.

But that didn’t mean he let down his guard.

‘… Eye?’

I saw the pale moon open its eyes. Then, black spots appeared on the surface of the moon.

Taemin Kang frowned and opened his mouth.

“Prepare for shock.”

While taking command of this plan, he had already explained to the strongest that he would not respect them.

It was because life and death could come and go at every moment, but there was no time to be polite.

“What? What’s going on!?”

Although her ears were deafened by the noise around her, Kang Tae-min’s voice was accurately transmitted to her. It was because the suit handed to Hwang Ye-ri transmitted voice through bone conduction.

“Just focus on staying on track.”

“This crazy… !”

Soon, Hwang Ye-ri knew the reason.

Clumps of tentacles were falling from the sky.
