Chapter 27: Chairman
Chapter 27: Chairman
Chairman
He finally appeared.
I was finally in front of him.
The chairman of this disgusting academy.
Stop. Any further action will be met with force.
You should choose your words carefully. If you say it like that, you make it seem like Im at fault, while the culprit is that drag in front of me.
Pointing the remains of my shattered sword at Professor Park Ki-yeol, I glared at the chairman.
I wasnt foolish enough to fall into his trap that easily.
What am I supposed to be looking at?
This is crazy! Did a student beat a professor?
Does that make any sense? If thats true, hes far beyond the level of an academy student!
Professor Park Ki-yeols blue barrier began to dissipate, and the arena could be seen.
Seo-ah seemed relieved that I was okay.
[You have achieved an incomplete victory. A random skill will be copied.]
[You have achieved an incomplete victory. A random skill will be copied.]
[You have achieved an incomplete victory. A random skill will be copied.]
I could see many messages in front of me, the likely cause being that I had defeated Professor Park Ki-yeol, but I didnt pay them any attention.
There was something far more important right in front of me.
Youre the chairman, correct?
Thats right. Perhaps, do you think Im someone else?
My mouth went slack.
I couldnt feel the energy of the bastard who killed me.
If I felt it even slightly, I would have done something, but the issue was that it wasnt present.
So what on earth is he saying?
Why is he speaking that way?
Am I just being paranoid? Or is there a reason for it?
For now, I had to focus on what was important.
Professor Park Ki-yeol openly admitted to cheating during the entrance exam. You arent thinking of allowing someone who is a professor to get away with this, are you?
Finding someone to take the blame for this situation.
Seeing that he hasnt killed me yet, he isnt able to use his full strength.
If he wasnt the chairman but that bastard who had killed me instead, there would be no reason for him to talk to me.
With his transcendental strength, he could ignore the public, as they would no longer exist.
The fact that he didnt immediately kill me meant that he wasnt able to use his full strength or that he was still the chairman and valued public opinion.
Chairman, please answer me. Do you have anything to say about this situation?
If he was still the chairman, I had a great advantage due to the fact that public opinion was currently on my side.
He would have to take responsibility for all the problems within the academy.
He didnt even know that something as scandalous as this was happening right under his nose, so as the academys representative, he was at fault.
As the chairman remained silent, I couldnt help but wonder what he was thinking. The chairman I remembered was much more decisive when it came to matters like this.
Thats right.
After he seemed to come to a conclusion, he said something strange.
Without changing his expression, he immediately took action.
-Slice!
GAHHH!
With one strike, he sliced Professor Park Ki-yeols arm off in the blink of an eye.
What are you doing? Didnt you just tell me to stop?
His attack was faster than my eyes could perceive.
Even though I thought I had grown far stronger, it seemed he was still far out of reach. Instead of worrying about that, though, I focused my attention on his current actions.
I apologize. Not just to you, but to all the students.
You didnt answer my question.
I didnt know he was doing something like that, but Ill take full responsibility. Well conduct both an internal investigation within the academy and an external investigation with the help of several agencies.
Damn. This is why I need to kill him.
If he says something like that, there was nothing I could do
As a student, that is.
It wasnt like I could say I would investigate him myself.
How can we believe that? You could just let him off after pretending to investigate him.
We will be transparent about our investigation, and we will organize rematches for the students who were affected by his match-fixing. We will also compensate those students.
Are you still dissatisfied?
No.
I wasnt able to raise further complaints.
If I did, people would look at me strangely.
As I turned, thinking there was nothing more to be done, he spoke.
Stop for a second.
I couldnt feel any hint of a skill being activated, but my instincts forcefully stopped my body from moving.
Approaching me quietly, he asked me a question in a voice only I could hear.
How did you regress?
The bloodlust emanating from him was tangible as he spoke.
***
Everyone? Well stop the broadcast for now.
-???
-y? y? y? y? y?
-This is the best part tho? why is she cutting the stream?
After Si-woo had defeated Park Ki-yeol, the streamer Mane suddenly ended her stream.
If they were a normal streamer, they wouldnt be able to resist streaming this.
It should be natural.
Not only would cutting off an official stream not be allowed, but a fight between a student and a professor was a huge opportunity.
Despite that, Mane turned the stream off without any warning.
As soon as she did that, she immediately took action.
Nobody who watched the stream could have imagined such a cold and cynical expression on the girls face.
No way, she murmured to herself quietly.
Like she had seen something she shouldnt have or something that shouldnt exist.
Mana Control
Large Explosion
Shortly after, a strong magical clash occurred. As the noise of the explosion echoed across the stands, there were murmurs from all across the stadium.
And soon after, many voices could be heard.
What the hell is this?
A blue barrier?
Why the hell is it so strong?
Fuck, what if something bad happens? We have to break it!
A blue barrier that prevented their fight from being seen appeared.
And with it, the discontent of the audience began to grow.
It was so sturdy that no student could break it, so they would have to call a professor.
But there was an issue.
How boring.
As if it were nothing, she flicked her hand, with no trace of mana to be felt.
-Crack.
However, where she made the gesture, a small hole and a faint cracking sound appeared. It didnt affect the barriers structure, but a hole was made.
It was small enough that nobody would notice, especially when they were trying to destroy the entire thing.
And she had created that hole without the use of mana.
To be precise, she used something that emanated black energy.
-Crash!
Using that small hole, she observed the fight quietly.
It was a fight difficult to ignore.
And then it happened.
Cough.
After the fight had raged on for a very long time, the professor lost.
With the conclusion of the battle, her expression began to change.
It seemed like she was shocked, but not because the student won.
Rather, it was because he had copied the professors skill.
Did he really copy his skill?
She saw that the student had successfully copied one of the professors skills, a truth that not even the professor realized.
But she had noticed it by simply watching from a tiny hole.
That cant be. Why now?
Her words didnt appear to make sense.
As if she had seen something scary, her expression turned sour.
If you can copy skills, why are you still weak? If youre the person in my memories, that shouldnt be possible.
Continuing to murmur unintelligibly to herself, she continued to search her surroundings.
She seemed to find what she wanted.
Its because of that girl, isnt it?
The girl named Seo-ah was the one she focused on.
Someone who seemed more worried about Si-woo than anyone else; someone who was also the first person Si-woo looked for when the blue barrier dissipated.
If that boy is who I think he is, theres no time to waste.
Turning her head, she headed toward the stands, determined.
I have to kill that girl.
Despite saying something so shocking, her steps were slow and confident.
