Chapter 23 – 8. What Happens When a Villainess and a Yandere Meet? (3)
Although Iris was always full of courage.
I was very nervous about my voice now. The reason was clear.
‘My teaching assistants so far are paying off.’
I was sure about carrots and sticks.
No, rather, considering what he has done for Iris so far. There are a lot more carrots.
On this Earth. In Seoul, Iris is a nuisance who unexpectedly broke into my house illegally.
Nevertheless, I am doing a favor for nothing in return.
‘If it was the previous Iris, you could be mistaken, but…’
Because she herself is so outstanding and beautiful. Like I was volunteering to be her slave because I fell in love with her sexy body.
However, my teaching assistants proved that that thought was wrong.
I always use common sense. She is the one who is acting in an unreasonable way.
Iris must be realizing it now.
The initiative was always mine.
Except right after I’ve had sex. She had never been kind to her.
I asked back in a cold voice.
“I asked you to say it again. Iris.”
“Sin… I’m sorry…”
The word of apology is now a habit.
But it wasn’t enough. It’s much better than before though. It should have been more sincere.
“If you’re sorry, is that all? Don’t say that. “Tell me why you’re sorry.”
“Alfred… No, you disobeyed Eric.”
“What did you break?”
“I told you not to fight with your platoon members… I’m sorry.”
Iris made a sullen expression.
Of course, the reason I had a fight with Su-ah was because of me. Iris’s appearance was also cute.
‘It shouldn’t be like this from day one.’
Still, she showed an attitude of reflection that was not like her. I was satisfied.
“If you don’t want to lose to Su-ah, you have to work hard too. “Suah is a genius when it comes to fighting.”
“Seo Soo-ah… Ugh…”
And then he threw her most important words at her.
The word ‘genius’ is a very stimulating word for Iris. Because I knew. As expected, Iris’s eyes changed.
‘Both of you must become strong. To survive the Black Eclipse.’
In the original work, the 13th platoon to which Su-ah belongs.
Half of the platoon members die. That was enough to completely shatter Su-ah’s mentality. The cause of death is related to Su-ah.
That was Black Eclipse’s way of corrupting Su-ah into her villain.
Of course, I had no intention of following their will.
‘When it comes to the platoon I am in charge of, they are all my people. ‘I won’t let even one person die.’
I will definitely protect my people.
That’s why I was able to become a mercenary king.
I said to Iris with a grin.
“Anyway, try hard. “Because I like people who work hard.”
After saying that, I called the members of the 13th platoon together.
***
Seo Soo-ah has been in a very bad mood since yesterday.
Even though I haven’t had my period yet. She felt dirty, like she was having a really awful period.
It all started, of course, with a post posted on Nova Time.
==========================
[Nova Time / Anonymous Free Bulletin Board / Today’s Best Post]
* Original article「1324 / Current status of the Magic Tower in chaos today.Jpg (123)」
– Anonymous 1421: Eric from the general store is also the adopted son, so he would fit in well with the adopted girl.
┖ Anonymous 777: Yes, stop talking nonsense~ Eric is such a waste~
┖ Anonymous 963: But doesn’t Eric get along better with Seo Su-ah?
..
==========================
Iris is talking to Uncle Eric right over there.
It was because of her comments about her.
A crazy comment saying that Uncle Eric and that Iris would look good together.
‘You’re talking crazy.’
This is nonsense. The only woman worthy of Uncle Eric is himself.
I was angry at the stupid comment that Iris was just a Westerner and that she hung out with Uncle Eric.
Although Eric was clearly a Westerner.
I was mixed-race and had an Asian vibe to it. In fact, it suits me much better as an Asian.
Anyway, I was so upset by that sound that I quickly posted a comment on multiple accounts.
There was a comment saying that Eric was much more of a waste to Iris. Seo Soo-ah commented that she matches Eric much better.
‘I want to kill you. ‘That woman.’
Don’t ever mess around with Uncle Eric again.
I wanted to get rid of that Iris.
‘No. ‘You have to endure it for now.’
But today is Uncle Eric’s first class. As a model cadet, I had to help my uncle with his historic first training.
So, to Iris, Nova Academy is unfamiliar. I really hated it, but I deliberately spoke to him first.
However, Iris refuses her own favor. She even questioned her own relationship with Uncle Eric.
‘Of course I am Uncle Eric’s bride-to-be. Because Uncle Eric will like me someday too.’
But I couldn’t answer that way because there were so many eyes watching.
Because I can never give you trouble.
So she only left a hint to Iris that there was something going on with her uncle.
– Oh. Iris, why are you curious about that fact? Eric… No, about my relationship with instructor Eric.
Instead of the usual title on purpose. I even emphasized that it was Eric.
When Iris heard those words, her expression crumpled. And Seo Soo-ah felt it right at that moment.
‘That woman named Iris. ‘I definitely like you.’
I don’t know where I got connected with you.
It seemed like I was already in love with him.
‘You have to be cool.’
I hate to admit it, but That woman named Iris is pretty. She has a body that even men would be very excited about.
‘There’s no way he would like a woman who looks like that with a bad personality.’
She always asked her uncle’s ideal type.
He said he likes good women. She says she tries to be a good girl. She shed all her gloomy appearance and changed into her current innocent appearance.
A woman named Iris is the complete opposite of a good woman.
But her instinctive caution caught on.
‘I should write this down in my noteworthy rag notebook.’
The risk is of course S.
Meanwhile, the man was kindly saying something to Iris.
That’s why he’s so kind to everyone. It was natural for that slut-like woman to misunderstand.
“So everyone gathered together?”
The eight platoon members lined up in unison.
The first training of the 13th Platoon began.
***
Jeong Ha-eun was nervous.
The first practical training of the second year.
There were many cases where Nova Academy’s other lectures and weapon training methods only included orientation in the first hour.
The actual training was different.
In the future, you will experience entering dungeons and eliminating demons and villains.
So, on average, the probability of starting training right from the first hour is 85%.
Jeong Ha-eun obtained all the data from last year’s practical training through her connections.
‘You have to do it perfectly from the first training.’
She’s a perfectionist. She could never lose as she had her rival, Seo Soo-ah.
It wasn’t just Seo Soo-ah.
There is also Iris, the instructor’s sexual partner. If she is treated differently, she may get a score penalty.
‘Are there any other cadets of note?’
A cadet wearing a black nun dress was visible.
A nun of the Goddess religion. She was famous for her high religious faith. There are rumors that she may be ordained a saint by the goddess in the future.
Unlike Seo Soo-ah, she is a cadet who would be nice to get to know. For her future as well.
‘It will be very helpful to the guild I will create.’
Everyone thinks that Jeong Ha-eun will join the elite team of Helios Guild after graduating from Nova.
Jeong Ha-eun had no intention of doing so.
There was no way she would join her father’s guild, which she hated so much. She intended to become independent from her father as soon as she graduated.
‘So you must graduate at the top of your class.’
And also sparring and actual evaluation. I was definitely planning on getting over that Seo Soo-ah.
So her person of interest was like this. Anyway, out of the eight platoon members, four are from Team A. The rest of Team B are just bridesmaids for Team A.
These were cadets whose names you didn’t need to remember. Now I decided to focus on training.
“Today is the first day of training. “Your time is precious, so shall we start training right away?”
She was right, too.
Eric seems like he intends to start training right from the first time.
‘Instructor Eric…’
And after school started, the cadets’ main interest was that Iris.
The focus of Nova Academy officials was definitely Eric.
An instructor who single-handedly eliminated an A+ level demonic beast in 5 minutes. As an A-level hunter, he created a record that only an S+-level hunter could achieve.
It didn’t matter that I was a pervert enjoying outdoor sex play at a department store.
‘Still, you probably have some level of skill.’
I also looked into his career. Absurdly, I only had one year of experience as a hunter. And he had a record of serving on the American Southern Front.
‘It was a record for 2025.’
It’s great that an unknown hunter has risen to A level. And the southern front was so dangerous that it was nicknamed the battlefield of hell.
Eric’s name is not mentioned in any records or articles about the place. In other words, instructor Eric didn’t do anything special.
Only an S+ level hunter named Ryan, who is now a world-famous hunter, was mainly mentioned.
‘The record from the last instructor evaluation may have been a coincidence because it matched well with the demonic beast.’
First of all, I have no intention of ignoring him.
No matter what, I couldn’t overestimate an A-class hunter too much.
Helios Guild’s elite team used A-class hunters as porters.
A brief self-introduction followed.
“My name is Eric Becker. He is 29 years old. And he is a class A hunter. Before he came to Nova Academy, he worked at a general store. Oh, of course, we still run a general store.”
The platoon members laughed lightly at that fact.
“The main area of activity was the American Front in the United States. Although it’s not long. “I have some experience in combat, so there will be no problem helping you with your training.”
It seemed like he probably didn’t want to talk about the southern front.
‘Well, anyway. The first training will be obvious.’
About 75%.
From the data she found in advance. The instructors began their first training in a similar manner.
Time to check the skills of all platoon members.
Usually instructors are S-class hunters. And for cadets, the highest level is a B-level license.
So, all the cadets were told to attack the instructor directly. It is common to make clear the difference in rank between instructors and cadets.
‘It’s about suppressing the momentum.’
A very unfavorable match of 8:1. However, the one who has the advantage is overwhelmingly the instructor.
In the world of hunters, the difference in license level is absolute.
For cadets who are more than two levels apart. No matter what you do, you cannot defeat an instructor with a weapon.
‘Not only the weapons, but the proficiency in using mana hearts in the first place is completely different.’
However, Instructor Eric’s case was a little different.
‘Instructor Eric is Grade A. ‘I’m now at B level or one level lower.’
And about Team A of 13 Platoon. They are all B-class hunters.
So, the instructor might unexpectedly have a hard time with their coordinated attack.
‘It’s an opportunity to score points.’
I heard that usually, if you give the instructor a valid hit, you will get extra points.
Moreover, in the last instructor evaluation video. That Eric didn’t use a weapon.
‘It means a fighter.’
Then, you are a ranged dealer. This means that if you only make effective hits from a distance, you will get enough extra points. All you have to do is avoid his approach.
While Seo Su-na and Iris are taking their time. All you have to do is get extra points.
‘That nun. ‘I’ll tell her to give me a reprieve and give me a buff.’
While I was thinking that. Eric continued.
“Then, since this is the first time, let’s take a look at your skills.”
As expected, Instructor Eric was no different.
“All members of 13 Platoon. Let’s try to attack me. “That’s the surest way to find out your skills.”
Also, in 100% of cases, extra points were given for that type of training.
The preparation and planning were perfect. All I had to do was get extra points from Eric.
Jeong Ha-eun raised her hand and asked a question.
“If I give the instructor a valid hit, will you give me extra points?”
“Extra points?”
But that dumb instructor had a puzzled look on his face.
‘You’re not even giving me extra points?’
Unless there are extra points at stake. There was no need to be desperate from the first training.
But soon instructor Eric smiled and said.
“The extra points are too trivial. “If only extra points were at stake, you all wouldn’t be so desperate to attack me.”
For a moment, Jeong Ha-eun was shocked. But he soon thought about it.
‘Just extra points? So, are you saying you want to bet something else?’
He took out his smartphone.
And with holographic images. Someone’s business card was shown to the cadets.
“This is the business card of the president of the Korea Hunter Association. It’s okay to do whatever it takes. If you even brush my clothes. “I will give this business card to the cadet who succeeds.”
At that moment, the eyes of not only Jeong Ha-eun but also the other cadets changed.
Association president’s business card. That is something that can never be bought even with a lot of money.
The president of the association who reigns at the top of the hunter world. As such, he was famous for giving his business cards only to people he truly recognized.
That business card is absolute proof that, as the president of the association, he will help in any way.
It’s like having the support of someone with absolute power in hunter society.
Even S+ level hunters couldn’t get that business card without permission. At that moment, Jeong Ha-eun’s heart was pounding.
‘I remember the signature of the president of the association. It’s definitely authentic.’
If I had that business card. Also for your own guild to be established in the future. It’s sure to be a huge help.
It’s the association president’s business card that even Helios’ elites don’t have.
For a moment, I wondered how Eric got that business card.
‘That’s something to think about later.’
Jeong Ha-eun became sincere. Whatever it takes. He definitely had to get that business card.
‘So, does that mean that Instructor Eric also seriously wants to deal with us?’
Now that I think about it, I heard that he is a Mana Heart of the same 3rd tier as myself. Still, he couldn’t let down his guard as he was an A-class hunter.
Jeong Ha-eun looked at Eric’s expression.
But he was actually smiling with a very relaxed expression.
“But it’s still just training. As an instructor, I can’t be too sincere. “I will place a condition.”
At those words, all the cadets’ eyes focused on Eric.
“I won’t move a single hand. You won’t even use mana. Attack as much as you like. Sincerely.”
Jeong Ha-eun’s body trembled at those words.
‘This is a great opportunity.’
If you don’t move your hands and don’t use mana. They are literally ordinary people. There was no need to hesitate.
“Shall we start.”
As soon as those words were said, training began. The cadets all attacked Instructor Eric.
