Chapter 189 – The Headmaster’s Identity
“Chief Hwang, did you hear that? Our team’s new manager is coming!”
At the words of Kang Woo-chan, manager of the Princess Night team at Cheols Pharmaceuticals, who bursts open the door of the conference room.
“Yes. I heard.”
Hwang Hee-yeol, who was sitting at the conference table writing something, looked up and answered indifferently.
“No! Does this make sense? You’re not a new recruit, but you’re bringing in a new general manager? How much experience and technology do we need to do…!”
“These are the people selected by the president himself.”
“Then you must be a great person. Ah- I’m so looking forward to it. Who will come?”
“Isn’t that… Like flipping your palm too much?”
“I thought it was just anyone who plugged it in. Chairman, you can trust it!”
Hwang Hee-yeol, who put down the pen with a smile at Kang Woo-chan’s change of attitude.
“Yes. I’m really looking forward to it too.”
Saying that, she stood up and opened the document she had been filling out just a moment ago.
Widely-.
Paste it in front of the front whiteboard.
Kik-..
Just then, the door to the meeting room opened and a woman in a Cheols Pharmaceutical uniform walked in.
Again-
“…”
An expressionless woman with black bobbed hair and purple eyes.
“Hello! Manager!”
“Ah..Hello! Manager!”
Hwang Hee-yeol first greeted her woman by bowing her waist at 90 degrees, and Kang Woo-chan belatedly stood up and greeted her.
“Ah… Well. But what were you doing?”
When asked by a woman with purple eyes, Kang Woo-chan, Hang Hee-yeol, and even checking the documents attached to the board.
“You asked a good question! I was discussing with Director Kang about the operation for the ‘Cheonlia’, the estimated number of the cult leader.”
“..!?”
At Hwang Hee-yeol’s words, Kang Woo-chan looks startled and surprised.
In the first place, there was no such thing as a strategy meeting, and I just came in, but I didn’t know why Hwang Hee-yeol said such things.
“Yeah.. That’s right.”
He nodded her head with a serious expression, assuming he had something on his mind.
“…”
The new general manager staring at Kang Woo-chan with deep purple eyes.
‘What kind of person’s eyes..!’
Since it is a world of prosecutors where a match can be decided with a single glance and a single gesture, I studied the eyes of the other person a lot.
But now, the eyes of this new female manager are eyes that I have never seen before.
‘..It doesn’t seem like a person.’
Dreuk-..!
Meanwhile, the woman pulled out the chair in front of the white board and sat there.
“I’m curious. What is it about?”
He looked at Hwang Hee-yeol and asked.
Shit.
Hwang Hee-yeol, with a soft smile on his lips, began to explain the papers pasted on her whiteboard.
“Currently, our team is working on uncovering the identity of the ‘Kyoju’.”
“I’ve heard about the outline. Currently, it’s becoming a social problem.. A villain who reproduces the incompetent into a criminal type?”
In society, talented criminals are called villains.
And recently, the most famous villain to people was a person called ‘Kyoju’.
No one can make the incompetent into the competent.
That was the common sense and truth of the world, but the non-powered prisoners and humans who went under the leader were able to awaken to higher-level abilities just by receiving the ‘baptism’ of the leader.
Kwaaang—!
Kyaaak..!!
They are committing terrorism here and there in the city and creating chaos in real time, as if to relieve their resentment that has been neglected so far.
Currently, the person who wants to catch the police and soldiers, as well as the national organization Comguard, is the leader of the criminals, the ‘Chief’. I was in a situation where I couldn’t.
“Yes. We found a person with a 70% or higher probability of being the current leader, and the person’s recent behavior is very suspicious.
However, out of the blue, a suspicious department called the special operations team of a pharmaceutical company is claiming to catch the leader.
If it was a normal situation, of course I would have had to say no nonsense and express my refusal.
“It’s good that the progress is fast. When the president sent me down here, he told me to do my best to catch the leader.”
“It’s fortunate that the manager is actively working on it! The operation that we are executing and receiving permission for now was an operation that required the manager’s permission.”
“I still can’t get a feel for it, but I think I’ve prepared enough. I’ll listen and decide.”
The two exchanged glances and nodded.
‘What the hell are you talking about?’
Kang Woo-chan, who was listening from the sidelines, was so frustrated at the conversation that only he and his friends were talking to each other.
=====
– My name is Violet.
The strategy meeting concluded with a self-introduction by new manager Violet.
‘I was worried that she would respond to the radical team strategy because she’s a woman and a gorgeous-looking beauty, but… I’m glad she did.’
Violet, who has a arrogant appearance and a cold impression, willingly allowed the operation even though it was surprisingly risky.
‘Well, you can’t judge by appearance. It is said that his ability is an A+ level body acceleration ability and he is proficient in various missions..’
Hwang Hee-yeol also felt a sense of rejection that was not different from Kang Woo-chan’s initial reaction when he was told that a new manager would be assigned to the team.
However, after learning about Violet’s ability from the report sent by the president, Cheols, I couldn’t help but cheer.
Violet, who became the new head of the department, was the right person to carry out the operation to confirm the identity of the most ‘certain’ leader, who had not been able to execute it due to lack of ability.
So, where I am now is inside a van.
Hwang Hee-yeol is sitting in front of a laptop and various communication devices.
Cheek- Chick..
“Ah- can you hear me?”
Wearing a black hazmat suit with white letters PN written on it, he speaks while holding a walkie-talkie.
Whoops-
“I hear A1.”
“I hear A2.”
Then, from a high place like a cliff, the answer comes from two people wearing black protective suits and black helmets.
“I will explain my current location.”
The present location is the front mountain range where the head family of the Heavenly Family is located.
Most of the families of the 10th generation were located near big cities, no matter what their form.
Unusually, in the case of Chenga, the main building was built behind the city and a wide mountain range.
To enter the valley from the city, one must pass through high hills and forests, which act as a natural barrier.
“In the forest, there are a lot of detectives and anti-power traps. So you must carry out the operation before entering the forest.”
[ A1 I see. ]
[ A2 I got it. ]
“Okay. I’ll send you the location of the vehicle the current target is riding in and the location of the target you need to kill.”
Tap-!
Immediately, tell A1 (Kang Woo-chan) the location of the car that Cheon-Ria is riding to leave school.
Then, it transmits the location of the Celestial Powers who are hiding nearby and escorting the Cheonria car to A2 (Violet).
The power structure that escorts the vehicle in which Chollia is now visible has been the reason why this operation has not been carried out so far.
There are trained dummy human fighters in Princess Knight, and most of them have B-class to B+-class combat power.
However, the driver of Cheonria is a competent person with A-class abilities, and all the guards of the heavenly family guarding the surroundings were also A-class or higher abilities.
Kang Woo-chan can enter and subdue only the driver, but the escorts nearby can’t handle it, and if even one person contacts the head family of the Chen family, you have to worry about being caught, let alone the operation.
‘But with the arrival of the manager, things changed.’
Surprisingly, the level of Violet’s combat power, which was mixed in the information report about the heavenly family sent by the president, Cheols, was A+, which is likely to be in the top 100 of the rankings.
This is the same level as Kang Woo-chan, the strongest power of the Princess Knight, and even though it was not written properly in the report, it was recorded that ‘when similar, when the special ability is activated, the ability level rises to S-class’.
‘While the manager was organizing all the guards around him, Director Kang was facing a clairvoyance…’
“Confirm its identity.”
The method will be drastic.
Booooong–!
When Chun-Ria’s black car drives along a paved gray asphalt road.
Piing–!
From behind a nearby rock, a blue object rushes rapidly towards the vehicle.
Grasp–!
A dagger wrapped in blue magic that got stuck right into the rear tire!
Messed up—!
A vehicle with a blown tire staggers from side to side and keeps going straight, then stops at the side of the road.
Tap-!
A black monster wearing a black helmet running towards such a vehicle.
Widely-!
Immediately, the driver’s door opens and a driver in a suit jumps out.
Ugh–..!!
As if to show that he is not just a driver, the clubs he wears on both arms are dyed with blue magic power and hardened into crystallization.
It is a solidification of magic that only high-level abilities can do.
‘I said he was an A-class person…’
The opponent in front of him is an elite talent who would not be able to look at him even if he was himself, who ran the Cheongsong dojo in the past and lived as a nogada because there were no cadets.
‘However, it’s different if it’s not Cheongsong Dojang’s Kang Woo-chan, but P.N’s Chief Kang..!’
He completed the ‘Cheongwol sword method’ inherited from his master’s generation by repeatedly practicing swordplay simulations that could not be obtained even with money and elixirs provided by Cheols Pharmaceuticals.
– Chanah Woo. This Cheongwol Swordsmanship is by no means an ordinary swordsmanship.
Just like the words his grandfather and teacher told him every time he said he didn’t want to practice.
Jiying—!
—Under the moonlight!!
A luminous slash in the shape of a half moon quickly passed through the chest of a man in a suit.
“Ouch..!!”
As soon as the man who had been attacked in the vitals fell to his knees.
Grasp-!
Woo-chan slaps his chin with the back of his hand and knocks him out.
What was in his hand was not even a sword, but a 3-dagger.
Kang Woo-chan, who was only a c+-rank swordsman, has now reached the level where he can even subdue an A-rank fighter without having to lift a sword.
Widely..!
Then the sound of the car door opening quietly.
“Whew..!”
A faint, startled voice.
“Who… Who are you?”
Turning her head to see the direction of her voice, her long, straight haired female student asks, trembling with her fear-stricken face.
‘This girl is the criminal?’
To be honest, I can’t believe it.
No matter how you look at it, she is a beautiful girl who exudes the atmosphere of a young lady who was raised with care in a high-class house.
Although he never wanted to point the tip of his sword at a girl he would have only had goodwill with if he had met him on the street.
‘..This is a strategy.’
Recalling that one word.
Sreung-..!
She takes out a sharp long sword that even the bodyguards didn’t take out.
Shuuk—!
Right after that, Kang Woo-chan aimed at the neck of the long straight-haired student, Cheon-lia, and thrust her sword.
Of course I have no intention of killing him.
‘Kill..!!’
–But you really have to stab it like you’re going to kill it.
At the level of a criminal named Gyoju, if she really doesn’t show the will to kill herself, she can continue to pretend to be an innocent girl.
However, at the same time, it is necessary to predict the possibility that the clairvoyant is not a criminal.
The end of the strategy is to stab with the intent to kill, but stop the tip of the sword right in front of the opponent’s neck.
‘Now..!’
It’s not an easy task, but Kang Woo-chan, who has mastered high-level swordsmanship, has done it.
Sreuk-..!
The moment the sword reached right in front of the neck, Chunlia’s bright yellow eyes turned black…
Shuwook–..!!
‘Was it real..!?’
Black smoke billowing out from behind him!
–Chaohwaak-!
Kang Woo-chan flung his sword toward the black smoke and stepped back to distance himself from Chollia.
“Who… Ordered it?”
Kang Woo-chan was taken aback by the appearance of Cheon-Ria asking back with a cold face, the opposite of the frightened expression from before.
“Why do you play criminals because you were born into a good family?
Disobeying Hwang Hee-yeol’s warning not to speak out, he asked Chollia again.
“Who. Did you order it?”
However, the clairvoyant who keeps repeating the same words..
“That’s because I can’t talk.”
Kang Woo-chan brushed off the black smoke clinging to his sword and said.
“Then let’s eat it and ask.”
“Yes?”
Shuuk–!!
In an instant, a portal made of black smoke opened from above.
Wedge–!
‘Fist…!?’
A giant hand covered in black fur, a fist that reproduces the hand of the balrog Belial, is stamped down to catch Kang Woo-chan.
‘Too fast..!’
I tried to avoid it, but when I took a defensive stance with the sword raised above my head due to the speed that could not be avoided even with the movement of an a+ class ability and the sense of distance that was too close.
–Wedge liquid–!
–Pain–!!
In-Young, who flew in from somewhere, kicked and pushed his huge fist away.
“..Chief Kang doesn’t listen.”
“Boss..?”
“The strategy confirms the identity of the leader and rips the scroll to deviate. Wasn’t it?”
“I’m sorry!”
Manager Kang bows his head and apologizes for avoiding a crisis situation thanks to the new manager.
“..Did you subdue the bodyguards too?”
Muttering that, Chunlia raised both her hands.
Booooong–!
At the same time, two giant balrog fists appear from the air and move towards Kang Woo-chan and Violet, the manager.
The power of Belial, an S+-class monster, is reproduced as it is!
In a situation where the fighting power of two people is impossible to compete with.
– Once used, it will be retired for a while, so use it only in a crisis situation.
Violet recalls what her creator and owner, Chuls, said.
‘It’s like a crisis right now. Master.’
Violet… No, Violet seizes the tentacle cells containing the medicinal ingredients of Evolution X that Cheols synthesized inside her body.
Wriggle–!
Cheolreuk–!!
Its entire body is covered with gray slime and transformed into a suit-wearing figure.
“What does that look like…?”
Seeing Violet’s changed appearance as she was about to attack her, clairvoyant frowned at her and asked.
She can’t help but be perplexed because Violet’s gray slime suit is similar to the power she used to turn beasts into demons by combining Evolution X with the power of the Demon King.
Wriggling wriggling– Chew–!
Violet, who was startled by clairvoyance or not, transformed one arm into a giant scythe and the other into a giant barbed mace.
Grasp–!
Turong–!!
After hitting the fist of the huge Belial who came nearby with each weapon.
“Chief Kang! Scroll!”
Order Kang Woo-chan to tear the emergency escape scroll provided by Nero Meister.
“Yep!”
Kang Woo-chan immediately pulls out the scroll from his bosom and tears it apart.
“Where are you going..!!”
Chun-Ria wrapped black smoke like a cloak around Kang Woo-Chan and her Violet, trying to stop her from using her magical powers like during her entrance ceremony.
Pajijik–!! Chijik–!
I couldn’t immediately subdue the magic of Grand Alchemist, the 6th of the 10 girls…
Shuuk–!
Right before the black smoke swallows Kang Woo-chan and Violet, their appearance disappears with the light.
Beep— Beep—
Chun-Ria stood alone at the scene where the vehicle damage warning sounded like that.
‘I was discovered…’
Kwajijik–..!!
It moved black smoke with anger, turned the car next to it into a lump of crushed metal, and turned its head.
“…”
I turn my gaze for a moment and look in the direction of the stream beyond the forest.
It was a place he knew he would have to leave at some point, but he kept putting himself in to get the help of the information the Chen family was collecting.
“It doesn’t matter anymore…”
Shuwook-…
Leaving a word behind, the clairvoyant… Gyoju disappeared with black smoke.
