Episode 190: The nightmare begins (1)
Just a few minutes ago.
A corner of the general seating area at S Building Stadium.
[What do you think about Cadet Kim Baram, who you will be competing against? I heard he is in the same class as you.]
[… … I used to think it was nothing special, but now I think it’s a little different.]
“… … .”
Baek Yoo-seong, with his light gray hair and thick horn-rimmed glasses, sat in the audience, silently staring at the large screen where the pre-interview was being broadcast.
In fact, Baek Yoo-seong was originally scheduled to be training in magic and swordsmanship at the H Building Training Center until the start of the 3rd year strongest competition.
But there was a reason why he was sitting in the stands, despite all that.
[Thank you for your hard work. I will send you a reward soon. You can look forward to it.]
That’s right, in exchange for information.
Simply put, Baek Yoo-seong is the leader of the villain group Heuk-ik, to whom he belongs, Mu-myeong.
Han Su-yeon and Kim Baram had passed on the information that they were disciples of Cheon Yu-ha and Baek A-rin respectively, and in return, they were to receive a reward at the S Building Stadium today.
‘I told you to wait here until the first-year game was over today… .’
By the way, the reward was already decided.
That’s right, the crimson magical power given by the guy called ‘him’ within the Black Wing.
‘If only I had that power, surely… … .’
The crimson magic was like an extremely sweet fruit.
A fruit that is so sweet that it gives you great pleasure, but at the same time, it is so fatally addictive that you can’t forget the pleasure and crave it endlessly.
And right now, Baek Yoo-seong absolutely needed the forbidden fruit.
In order to secure a clear and overwhelming victory in the final of the Strongest Bicycle Tournament tomorrow.
‘… It’s okay, it won’t cause much damage to those kids anyway.’
Of course, Baek Yoo-seong felt a bit sorry and guilty about selling the information of Kim Baram and Han Su-yeon, who could be considered his clan juniors.
However, Baek Yoo-seong’s desire to win this strongest bicycle competition and live up to the expectations of his teacher, Jeong Da-bin, was dozens of times greater than his feelings of regret.
-Glance-
[Then this is the last question. I wonder which of Cadet Choi Kang-ho and Cadet Lee Do-hyeok, who both advanced to the semifinals, do you think will advance to the finals?]
[…No matter who comes up, I plan to do my best to win.]
‘… I should be extra grateful to Sooyeon.’
Moreover, now that his priestess Jin Su-ah was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Han Su-yeon.
Baek Yoo-seong thought that this was the opportunity to completely turn all of Jeong Da-bin’s attention and favor, which had been directed towards Jin Soo-ah, towards himself.
[Now, the long-awaited first-year quarterfinals! Let’s meet the stars of the last match! Everyone, please give them a big round of applause!]
““Wow~!!””
““Han Su-yeon! Han Su-yeon! Han Su-yeon!””
“Cheer up! Kim Baram! I bet on you~!”
At that time, he was looking down at Han Soo-yeon and Kim Baram as they entered the stadium, waiting for the long-awaited reward to arrive.
-Knock knock-
“Senior Baek Yoo-seong?”
Someone tapped Baek Yu-seong on the shoulder from behind and spoke to him. At the unfamiliar voice, Baek Yu-seong naturally turned his head and looked behind him.
-Swoosh-
Then, there was a female student there who had an ordinary impression and had never met Baek Yoo-seong before.
“…Why are you doing that?”
So, naturally, Baek Yoo-seong asked the female student why she had called him, with a slightly wary tone of voice… .
“Ah, that’s….”
The female student hesitated for a moment, perhaps taken aback by Baek Yoo-seong’s colder-than-expected reaction, before carefully bringing up what she had heard.
“Someone inside the stadium asked me to bring senior Baek Yoo-seong. He said he had something to give to senior Baek Yoo-seong.”
At that moment, as soon as he heard the story of the female student, Baek Yu-seong was able to sense it right away.
What that female cadet said was the same reason why he had been waiting here all this time.
That is why Baek Yu-seong tried to suppress the anticipation and joy that was rising in his heart without him knowing, and asked in the most calm tone possible about the whereabouts of the person Yeo Saeng-do had mentioned.
“Where is that person now?”
“Oh, follow me. It’s a little far, so I’ll show you.”
-Bam-
“Let’s go.”
And in response to the female student’s answer, Baek Yu-seong got up from his seat without hesitation.
[Now, who will be the glorious cadet who will advance to the finals? Then, the second and final match of the first-year strongest cadet competition! It’s finally starting~~!!]
[10]
[9]
[8]
Immediately after that, the countdown began to signal the start of the match between Han Su-yeon and Kim Baram.
The outcome of the game didn’t matter to Baek Yu-seong, so he immediately followed the female student.
-Thump thump-
At that moment, Baek Yoo-seong was following Yeo Saeng-do up the stairs and taking a few steps.
-Stop-
Suddenly, the female cadet who had been walking ahead seemed to stop walking… .
“Uwueek… .”
Suddenly, he started to hang his head low and retch repeatedly.
‘…what?’
And Baek Yoo-seong felt a little annoyed by her sudden actions, as if time had momentarily slowed down.
Since she was the only person who could guide him for now, he had no choice but to suppress his displeasure and approach her.

-Swoosh-
“Excuse me, are you okay?”
And then, Baek Yu-seong immediately asks the female cadet, who has her head bowed, about her physical condition.
But at that moment.
“… Everything is for the sake of the Lord and the leader.”
The female student suddenly muttered something quietly, then quickly turned around towards Baek Yu-seong.
‘That’s….’
Meanwhile, the female cadet was afraid to turn around.
Baek Yoo-seong was able to be found right away.
-Keeeeeek!!-
Along with a long, sticky stinger, presumably belonging to a female student.
In her hand was a round, egg-sized jewel that was emitting an ominous, crimson light.
‘danger…!’
As soon as Baek Yoo-seong saw the jewel, he felt the alarm bells ringing in his head, warning of danger.
But unfortunately, by the time he realized the danger, it was too late to act.
-Kwaaaaang!!-
““Gyaaaah!””
So, Baek Yoo-seong was caught in the explosion right in front of his nose without even being able to react… .
“Ugh….”
With a single, painful groan.
It bounced off and began to fall in a parabolic arc towards the stadium where Kim Baram and Han Suyeon were.
-Whew-
And at the same time.
Somewhere in the stands, a little bit away from Baek Yoo-seong.
-Smile-
“Fortunately, everything went according to plan.”
Yudain, who was watching Baek Yoo-seong fall while covered in blood, had a faint smile on his lips.
-Swoosh-
To immediately execute the next plan.
He opened his mouth and extended his right hand toward the stadium where Kim Baram and Han Su-yeon were standing.
“<Miracle>.”
-Tiring-
[Use skill <Miracle>[?].]
[Consume all the collected offerings and your desired wish will come true.]
Immediately after that, the Jew terribly activates his skill, <Miracle>.
-Woooooooooo~-
The stadium floor soon begins to become covered in a deep blue light.
“what…!”
“What…!”
Then, Kim Baram and Han Suyeon, who were standing in the stadium, were unable to respond to the sudden series of events and were sucked into a hole of deep blue light… .
-Shoot-
Including Baek Yu-seong, who was falling towards the stadium unconscious.
“Wind Cadet!”
“Suyeon!”
“Yoo Seong-ah!”
Even the three teachers who were sucked into the hole, Baek A-rin, Cheon Yu-ha, and Jeong Da-bin.
Just before the blue light began to fade, I managed to throw myself into the hole and disappear.
““… … .””
After that, was it because I couldn’t understand the current situation at all?
The cadets each kept their mouths shut and rolled their eyes to look around, and soon, a silence filled with questions began to settle in the S Building Stadium.
But that silence was short-lived.
-Taat!-
With just one leap from the VIP stands.
-Kwaaaaang!-
“… What on earth have you done?”
The academy’s principal, Ma Dong-cheol, who flew towards the Jews in one breath, showed off his momentum as if he was crushing them all over his body and pressured them fiercely.
‘… Hmm, I kind of expected it, but this person is still a bit burdensome… .’
And Yoo Da-in, who was enduring such pressure from Ma Dong-cheol right in front of his nose… .
-Tiring-
[Player ‘Judain’s’ unique ability <Faith> is activated.]
First, at the same time as activating his unique ability, [Faith].
He tried to act as if he knew nothing, shaking his whole body and making a frightened voice.
“Yes…? I, I have nothing… .”
But unlike before when I could easily pass through the main gate of the Academy.
“… You’re talking nonsense.”
It seems that the unique abilities of the Jews did not work on Ma Dong-cheol at all, as he still showed fierce hostility towards the Jews… .
Thanks to that, Judas easily realized that his ability wasn’t working, so he put on a silly show and quickly calmly changed his expression and shrugged his shoulders.
“Haha… Even if you step down from the front lines, is this what it means to be an SS-class? It doesn’t work at all.”
“… You don’t seem to have any intention of telling me. Well, it doesn’t matter. It won’t be too late to find out after I knock you out…”
Meanwhile, Ma Dong-cheol, who judged that the Jew in front of him had no intention of telling the truth, ended his words with those words.
-Wooooooong~!-
He filled his large right fist with a lot of blue magic power and swung it straight at the Jewish man with all his might.
-Whew!!-
Ma Dong-cheol’s fist cut through the surrounding air and rushed towards the Jewish man’s face in the blink of an eye.
but.
‘… Well, there’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to try.’
The moment when Ma Dong-cheol’s fist was about to touch Yu Da-in’s face.
-Tiring-
[The Poisoned Chalice’s special ability <Trap> is activated.]
The special power of the poisoned Holy Grail, a relic of the Catholic Church that the Jews had, was activated… .
-Slurp-
Immediately after, Ma Dong-cheol and Yoo Da-in, who were inside the S-dong stadium, disappeared and were teleported to a certain space.
And right after that.
-Kwaaaaang!-
Despite activating the power of the poisoned chalice.
Was it because Ma Dong-cheol’s fist was too strong?
After being hit by Ma Dong-cheol’s fist and being thrown back against the wall, Yudain muttered in despair, regretting the poisoned chalice that had been shattered in his arms.
“… Cool, that’s a monstrous attack. Even though it’s a tier 4 item, it still manages to damage me through its power…”
But the regret was short-lived.
-Shh-
“Still, it’s fortunate that the ability itself was activated properly. If it hadn’t gone as planned, it would have been difficult.”
The Jew sneered at Ma Dong-cheol, who had fallen into the trap he had prepared, and soon gave orders to the dozens of Masin believers surrounding Ma Dong-cheol.
“From now on, kill the author by any means necessary. Even if it costs you your life.”
At that moment, just as the Jew finished giving his orders to the believers,
““I obey your orders.””
-Taaaat!-
Dozens of Masin cult believers, all wearing black robes, began to rush towards Ma Dong-cheol from all directions, each holding their own weapons without a moment’s hesitation.
one side.
-Wedge!!-
Ma Dong-cheol, who was looking around at the believers of the Masin cult who were rushing towards him like moths to a flame… .
-Heehee-
It’s the complete opposite of a dark, life-or-death situation where one could easily lose their life if they’re not careful.
With a deep smile on his face as if he was very happy, he immediately wrapped his fist in a fierce spirit and swung it with all his might.
-Kwaaaaang!!-
Then, with a sound of explosion, the surrounding air burst out.
““Keuhk…!””
The followers of the Masin cult suddenly fall backwards, spitting out a handful of blood.
“… Heh heh, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way. Okay, let’s give it a try. Either you guys get killed or I get killed.”
Immediately after that, I finished saying those words.
Ma Dong-cheol, the first boxing king in the world to become an SS-class player, not just in Korea… .
-Taaaat!-
Rather, he was the first to jump into the black wave of believers of the Masin cult, and began to reveal the sharp claws that had been hidden due to a long hibernation.
-Kwaaaaang!-
