Episode 34

Ding-dong, the doorbell rang in the hallway. But there was no answer from inside.

‘Did I come early?’

Standing in front of the door was a female student with a youthful face. However, contrary to that neat appearance, the inside was seething with malice.

‘I’m so hungry…!’

I felt hunger, unbearable hunger. The Mimic Predator, disguised as a schoolgirl, thought of her prey, Inoa.

He was able to absorb recent memories of the victim he had eaten. According to that memory, it was already time for Inoa to come back.

‘Should I wait? Or should I eat someone else?’

The hunger grew stronger. If you don’t fill your stomach, that hunger turns into pain.

A normal person would eat anything, but he wasn’t.

‘Is there anyone who looks happy?’

The reason he eats cannibals is not only for the taste, but also to savor the memories that flow in with him.

The Mimic Predator’s eyes went back and forth. And one person was caught in that gaze.

‘He’s coming.’

Fortunately, I could see Inoa returning. He quickly checked his memory and refined his mimicry.

“uh?”

“hi.”

It was a youthful voice and behavior that matched his appearance. Inoa laughed awkwardly as if he hadn’t noticed anything.

“What’s going on, Joohee?”

“Could you give me a minute? I have something to discuss…”

“hour? Ummm…”

“It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about here, but there’s a cafe I know, so let’s go there. huh? I will shoot.”

Inoa rolled his eyes and then nodded.

“yes. But it doesn’t take long, right? I need to prepare dinner…”

“Sure. Do not worry about it.”

The Mimic Predator laughed and swallowed the words behind his back.

‘Because you are my dinner.’

He moved while chatting with Inoa. There was a ‘restaurant’ prepared by him not far away.

The two arrived in a deserted back alley.

“Are you here?”

“Uh, it’s a sensibility cafe for each outing, but only people in the know know about it.”

The Mimic Predator led him into the basement without changing his expression.

The door opened with a ghastly squeak. Inoa looked inside and looked around.

Far from being a cafe, it was a space covered with tarps on all sides.

“Oh, I think I came to the wrong place?”

“No, you came right.”

The door locked with a clang sound. The Mimic Predator’s mouth was wide open.

“It’s a place specially prepared for you.”

When the mimicry was released, his voice also became grotesque. The body was transformed and large mouths appeared everywhere.

Because he could eat his opponent with any part of his body.

‘thank you for this food.’

The Mimic Predator attacked Inoa, expecting rich blood aroma and meat quality.

However, a different sound came from that expectation.

The feeling of a foreign body felt along with the sound of a squeaking sound, and the pain that followed.

“Kwaaagh!”

The Mimic Predator hurriedly spat out what it had in it. Crooked pieces of metal, and his own blood and flesh torn from the pieces, dripped down.

“What is it, can’t I eat it even if I give it to you?”

“you···!”

The Mimic Predator’s eyes widened. It was because what he could see under Inoa’s skin that he had eaten was not blood and flesh, but metal parts.

“Since I lived a fake life, I can’t tell the truth.”

He was a clone created by Kang Tae-min, not Lee Noah. The Mimic Predator thought he had lured the target, but it was the opposite.

“Oh shit…!”

Mimic Predator immediately destroyed the clone. But that was a mistake.

The damaged clone’s body was crushed like clay and bound him.

“Big…!”

“Should I say thank you for coming meekly?”

Then, an iron man in a suit, Kang Tae-min, appeared from the inside. As a Mimic Predator, it was absurd.

How did you know it was a space carefully prepared for a successful ‘meal’?

“There were a lot of eyes to see to drag it by force, but it came very well.”

Kang Tae-min said that and took out a rip-and-tear. A chirping echo filled the cellar.

“A space isolated in perfect soundproofing, let’s use it well.”

The Mimic Predator’s eyes shook. What else can you do with a rotating saw blade?

“There are some things I want to ask you.”

Kang Tae-min continued to speak casually.

The order of his interrogation was unusual. If the other person doesn’t answer, it’s not torture.

“I don’t need to tell you right now.”

Torture came first.

“Turn it off!”

Blood and flesh splattered in all directions as the saw blade dug into the shoulder. The intense pain made the Mimic Predator delirious.

There were no other problems thanks to the pre-laid tarpaulin.

* * *

Every time I took a step, a muddy sound tickled my ears. It was because of the blood on the tarpaulin.

In front of me was a miserable Mimic Predator. Before the regression, one arm was cut off and both eyes were gouged out, just like Inoa’s experience.

All he needed anyway was his mouth and tongue. And this guy could make the mouth and tongue his own.

“Now let’s talk.”

At my words, he flinched. Still, I wanted to preserve my life, so I stopped the bleeding myself by deforming the amputation and eyes.

“Aren’t you trying to kill me anyway…!”

The Mimic Predator spat out the words with difficulty. got it right

But he had something to figure out. The whipping is over, now it’s time to give the carrots.

“Eat.”

I handed over the cut off man’s hand. I hesitated for a moment, but he greedily ate my hand.

The wound regenerated along with him.

“If you answer the question, I will give you my life.”

“What the hell…”

“You must know Noname.”

The Mimic Predator shuddered as if frightened.

“Where did you get that name? Could it be that you met him too?!”

Apparently, I was mistaken for the villain I met with No Name.

Not a bad reaction.

Well, I was always misunderstood as a villain because of my actions, so there was nothing strange about being considered a villain by the villains as well.

In this situation, there is no reason not to use it.

“It will make things easier.”

“Damn it…! Then we’ll talk about it from the beginning!”

“Answer any questions I ask.”

“I am not the enemy. Because he freed me, he made me reborn into a stronger being…!”

The man’s voice was intensified. It was like a fanatic.

“Yes, that is why I want to meet him again. So tell me where I can meet you.”

I roughly chimed in. Wouldn’t it be easier to talk if you were considered on the same side?

“First of all, let me go. There’s no reason for us to fight, right? huh? Something to eat…”

But he keeps leading the story in a difficult direction. I cut off the arm that had recovered from eating my body earlier.

“Quaaa!”

He didn’t stop there and sliced his thighs. The guy writhed and writhed.

“stop! Aww…! stop···!”

I set the amputated leg aside.

“Answer?”

“Kkeuheouk, we… it’s not that we’re looking for him… it’s that he… is looking for us…”

“I can’t wait that long. Then ask another question.”

I waited a moment for him to stop the bleeding from my wound. Rather, it was because it was easier to hear the answer.

“Strangely, I don’t remember what he looked like. What was it like?”

“I don’t know. All I remember is his aura, his unapproachable presence.”

The Mimic Predator continued breathing heavily.

“But there is a story I heard from him.”

“What is it?”

“He said, ‘It takes villains to change the world.’”

He smiled as if he remembered that time.

“That’s why he planted the ‘seed’ in us. And you will plant more seeds in the future.”

a seed?

This is a keyword that could not be obtained even before the regression. I didn’t jump in and let him talk.

“It will probably be the academy students who will have the seeds.”

“Why is that?”

“Did you not hear? Am I the only one who failed…”

“clinker?”

“…He was disappointed that my seeds germinated too quickly. You said you needed more immature test subjects.”

Mimic Predator trembled his lips.

“That’s why I ate the students. If I take that body, then he will find me again…!”

No Name is targeting students?

My brain flashed with those words.

In fact, there are many students who became villains before graduating from the academy even before returning.

What if that wasn’t just a deviation and becoming a villain? What if it was because of the ‘seed’ that No Name sowed?

“No Name will come to the academy…?”

“yes···! So let’s cooperate with me. I will share the information I gained as a student.”

From now on, there was no reason to pretend to be the same villain. I asked the guy.

“What is a seed?”

“what···?”

“What does it mean to make a villain? Is it a psychic ability?”

“Didn’t you… meet him?”

“Answer the question.”

“Mo, I don’t know. How dare you use His power…”

I kept checking the karma log, so I knew what he was saying was the truth.

And that was proof that he wasn’t worth living anymore.

“Kkeukreuk!ぅ…!”

I shoved a sharp piece into his mouth.

It was forced into the esophagus, dissecting the inside, and reaching the stomach.

“It’s the result of eating something you shouldn’t be eating.”

I blew it everywhere like exploding metal inside. It shattered like it had swallowed a grenade.

Looking at the corpse, I took out a cigarette and asked.

“So that’s why…”

If No Name was aiming at students, you could guess. If there was a possibility, it was necessary to be prepared.

A competition for academy students.

The Youth Hunter Championship was coming soon.

* * *

Association Headquarters Office.

“…the report is ideal.”

Eruah finished the report with a stiff face. Bae Seung-ju looked at her with puzzled eyes.

“A written report is enough for this, but why did you come here?”

There was nothing special about her report. The relationship with Catherine and the forced service of the students were at least noticeable, but they were not to the extent that a face-to-face report was needed anyway.

Moreover, unlike usual, I couldn’t feel the composure in Eruah’s expression.

“that is···.”

Irua pursed her lips, then let out a short breath and spoke.

“My sister wants to transfer to Kang Tae-min’s class.”

Irua briefly explained. He did not bring up the story of his brother’s illegal contract.

Knowing the character of Bae Seung-joo, he did not know that the damage would go to his younger brother.

“I came to ask you to check if there will be any problems with the mission. If it is replaced by another person, I will humbly accept it.”

“That sure is interesting.”

Finally, something special came out.

“First of all, thank you for being honest. But I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.”

Contrary to his worries, Bae Seung-joo was smiling.

“It is rather unnatural for a student to suddenly change. Besides, I don’t think you’re going to be on a mission because you have a younger brother. Would you like to?”

“no. I don’t mind thinking like that…”

“That’s all right. No, rather better. If my younger brother becomes a special class student, wouldn’t it be a reason to pay more attention to Kang Tae-min?”

Bae Seung-joo shrugged his shoulders leisurely.

“Thank you for your permission. then.”

“Hard work.”

When Irua bowed politely and left, Bae Seungju smiled and stroked my chin.

“Lee Noah is being educated by Kang Tae-min…”

Bae Seung-joo thought of Lee No-ah as a talent he wanted to recruit as well, as he had Lua as his subordinate.

‘For the Obliju Academy, it must have been like a thunderbolt.’

Wasn’t talent taken away out of nowhere? But Bae Seung-joo shook his head.

‘No, it should be that much, rather balanced.’

Isn’t there a lot of talented people at Obliju Academy even without Lee Noah?

‘This Youth Hunter Championship is worth looking forward to.’

Bae Seung-joo is willing to pay enough attention to this competition.

Monday after the weekend.

It was the ‘understanding of class members’, one of the special class’s curriculum.

The transfer student, Lee Noah, was showing a pretty impressive appearance against Kang Tae-min.

“Wow…”

“As expected, it’s different because you’re from a prestigious family.”

“Can it move like that?”

“What makes you look elegant?”

Perhaps because he became familiar with him through volunteer work on weekends, the students in the special class treated him without hesitation.

Moreover, he resembled Eruah and had the virtue of being outstanding in appearance among the same Awakened.

But no matter how hard he was, he couldn’t beat Kang Tae-min.

“town!”

In the end, Inoa, who was blocking the Etiquette Injector Mk.2, was defeated.

“There’s a lot to refine, but it’s not bad. It is also the longest on record.”

Kang Tae-min’s comment opened the eyes of the students. Among them, Ko Min-soo’s eyes sparkled.

“Wasn’t Minsoo number 1?”

“Wow… the first place change as soon as you come?”

“It’s crazy.”

So far, Go Min-soo has been fixed as the first in the special class. The stagnant water was shaken by the appearance of Inoa.

The students who had been whispering quickly shut up as soon as Irua looked at them. It was because of a sense of crisis that he did not know what would happen to him because he was of the same class as the homeroom teacher.

However, unlike her cold expression, her intentions were completely different.

‘More, more praise…! Noah is more amazing!’

He only moved because he wanted to hear more praise from his younger brother.

After the class that marked the beginning of the week ended, Kang Tae-min stood in front of the students.

“I have something to announce.”

The manners injector lightly tapped him on the shoulder.

“A month has already passed.”

The students rolled their eyes at Kang Tae-min’s words. Everyone’s face was ‘It’s only been a month now?’.

Originally, difficult times pass slowly, don’t they?

“According to academy policy, the first month of the semester should be focused on orientation.”

The first month meant a period of adaptation to academy classes and training.

But the academy didn’t do just that. Taemin Kang looked back at the students and opened his mouth.

“Club registration and activities start today.”

This was the beginning of the real school year.
