Chapter 44 – Principal Ironmask’s Test ( 2 )
‘When I saw it on the screen, it was roughly in one sentence that it was long to the building. It’s as far as a running course when I walk on it myself.’
Even though it seems like we’ve walked quite a long time from the entrance, it feels like we’ve still got a long way to go to the academy’s main building at the end of our field of vision.
The entire area of this Shinsung International Academy boasts an enormous scale equal to four to five times the land of most universities combined.
In a way, it is natural
It is the best educational institution in the world, and it was established by the 10 heroes who defeated the demon 100 years ago on this land to nurture the younger generation, so not only the level of education but also its facilities are the best in the world.
‘Hiro is wearing shoes… But maybe it’ll be okay…’
Feeling the warm, small hand in his hand, Cheols turned slightly to the side.
Again. Again.
He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t look like he was struggling. Rather, it is seen that he looks around with a strange expression, looking around without hesitation.
It seems that he is very interested in the school he will attend in the future.
‘Well, even in the midst of unpreparedness, when passing this section, Hiro… No, Baek Hyuk was flying around.’
The situation of walking to the current main building was the same as in the original work.
Kang Woo-chan went through the admissions process with Hiro, holding a letter of recommendation from his grandfather who taught him swordsmanship.
– A letter of recommendation from Mr. Kang? Where can I see your face!
With the headmaster wearing an iron mask and a line with a big laugh, it goes straight to the scene passing through the entrance of the academy.
– Let’s run to warm up before we go! Shin Hyuk!
– ..Master? Are you running?
– The one who is late is making dinner today! Haha!
Kang Woo-chan, who was a hot-blooded teacher, ran out first.
Baek Sang-hyeok sighs with a troubled face and quickly runs down the road.
Of course, there was a guide guard next to them as they are now, and this scene moves on to the scene where they follow the two priests with an annoyed face after seeing the two priests who quickly jump out.
“Isn’t it a little empty?”
“You don’t see people more than you think.”
“It’s because the students and most of the staff are taking a break right now. When this semester starts, there will be a lot of people wandering around this long road, and the entrance ceremony will lift the limit on the number of people entering, so there will be a crowd reminiscent of the World Cup. .”
“Hmm. Is that so?”
In Miyeon City, I didn’t walk leisurely listening to the explanation of the school from the security guard like now.
“By the way, I’m curious about one thing… Are most of the guards outside the academy grounds?”
The security guard erased a smile at Cheols’ question.
“Why are you asking that..?”
Since it is an issue related to school security, it reacts sensitively.
“It’s not a big deal, just because I came up with an assumption that someone with a hostile will has infiltrated the center of the main building.”
“That’s impossible. The security guards try to cross-dominate against hostile targets coming in from outside, and they never break through the guarded area.”
Permission to infiltrate means that the guards did not do their job properly, so the guard replied in a firm voice, perhaps feeling a bit hurt in his pride.
“I see. Well, he’s a security guard at the Shinseng International Academy… But what if the other side assumes that it fell from the center of the academy building instead of infiltrating from the outside?”
“..Above the school building?”
The security guard did not answer as if thinking for a while after asking that question.
“There are teachers and staff at the school, and all of them are highly capable.
“What if the infiltrator who fell into the center had the power or technology to subdue the powerful?”
“That’s.”
“Haha. I think I just asked a very useless question. I see a statue in front over there, right?”
Cheols changed the topic of conversation by pointing his finger forward at the security guard’s not being able to answer easily.
‘Still, it would be better to throw a little stir.’
In fact, there is an infiltrator who falls into the center of the school building. Chulse thought of preventing it beforehand, but he instilled distrust in the guards in the ‘just in case’.
=================
“Principal? May I ask why you called me as it’s my day off today even though the principal said he’ll take the test?”
“Hmm..”
To the question of a slightly strict-looking young woman in an office look, the iron mask crossed her arms and she did not answer.
“Am I going back?”
“It’s embarrassing to be alone… The principal is the principal.”
“Under.”
At the tone of the tone, asking him to stay by Hudalini’s side, as if he were running out of pages, Jeong Jeong-ryeong, the vice principal of the Shinsung International Academy, gasped as if he was dumbfounded.
He wouldn’t show his face at usual events, but at other times, he couldn’t help but be angry because the principal, who only had a name, called and sat down on every holiday for the first time in a long time.
“And you heard that the person coming is the chairman of Cheols Pharmaceuticals? Most of the medicines used in our academy are purchased from Cheols Pharmaceuticals. .”
As a person in charge of managing the academy’s major issues, he presented his opinion from a business perspective.
“Ah. Then it looks like you’re losing!
“I’ll just go home.”
“Oh! What’s wrong with our Vice Principal? Without a competent Vice Principal, I, the president of the pants, can’t handle anything!”
“Leave this. Only when you’re just pampering manna and like this…”
“Hwaryeong-ah, don’t go! I’ve been feeding you and raising you since you were little, but isn’t this what you’re doing!?”
“That’s what the orphanage director did, not the guild leader, right?”
“If I go out to meet you alone, I’m going to go to the middle of the day!”
“Not even a child! The real man!”
The sight of a middle-aged principal being dragged by a young vice-principal was as ridiculous as a scene from a comedy show somewhere.
Squeak—
…But in reality, the strength of the basic state was much stronger than the skinny Purifier Spirit than the twice-larger Iron Mask.
Iron Mask is an ordinary person with transforming ability unless he uses his ability.
Since Jeonghwa-ryung is an enhancement type ability that strengthens the body with magical power, the iron mask could not block the purification spirit with stronger basic ability unless both of them expressed their abilities at full power.
“Uhh..! Look over there, over there!”
Iron Mask, who had been dragged along, pointed to the entrance to the gym under the railing and shouted as if it was good.
“You’re lying again… Don’t be fooled!”
“No, even if it’s true!”
“Really or I’ll go home right away… Huh?”
Jeong Jeong-ryeong, who saw the entrance to the lower 1st floor from the 2nd floor railing, opens the door and finds 3 people entering the gym.
‘What is it and why is it so big? And a girl?’
Excluding the security guard, Jeong Jeong-ryeong is surprised by the huge appearance of a man presumed to be the chairman of Cheols Pharmaceuticals, and surprised by the special appearance of a red-haired girl standing next to him holding hands.
“Hmmmm. What is it? Is that child… Elemental? Elemental is not my aptitude… Well, anyway.”
The Iron Mask, which tidied up its solemn appearance again by tying a tie…
Turn-up!
Just jump over the railing—
“Huh–!”
Coo…!
“Big..!”
Landed on the first floor.
Again, Iron Mask is a person with transformation-type abilities.
Duduk..!
“Kureuuuuu…!”
When not using their abilities, their physical abilities are no different from those of normal people. Since it is the gym facility of the International Academy, it would have been different from the general gymnasium, but she jumped with her bare body.
“Overcome!”
Iron Mask, who had overcome the shock that would have broken his leg if he was an ordinary person, with his trained muscles, immediately took a stride and approached the guard and the Cheols daughter.
“Who?”
Even though he knows who Cheols is, Iron Mask dares to turn his head to ask the guard.
“The chairman of Cheols Pharmaceuticals and his daughter, who were supposed to come today…”
“Ah. I forgot. Go ahead.”
“Yes. Principal.”
The guard bowed his head immediately at the gesture of the Iron Mask and went out through the back door…
“Hmm.”
“…”
Iron Mask and Cheols exchange their eyes.
‘You’re one head taller than me. This person is definitely a fighter.’
An iron mask that makes your fist tickle while watching irons and your fighting instinct boils over.
‘It’s kind of funny because that scene becomes reality.’
On the other hand, Iron Mask’s silver wrestler’s mask makes Cheols try to hold back his laughter.
“Iron Mask… I’ve heard it often. As expected, the principal of Shinsung International Academy is something different.”
Cheols’s gesture of reaching out and saying hello first.
Chuck.
“This is… Nice to meet you. Since you’re the president of a pharmaceutical company, I thought of you as a general pharmacist or scholar. Seeing it in person, you’ve got tremendous muscles that surpass my expectations.
“No.”
“Aha. So, you’re an enhancement type person?”
“Heh heh. He’s just a special type of person with abilities related to drug manufacturing.”
“I can’t do that..! Then, did you make that amazing body through muscle training yourself?”
Unable to answer Iron Mask’s question, ‘I strengthened it with tentacle ability’, Irons nodded his head with a friendly face.
“This is… Respectable apart from other things.”
Iron Mask sends him a look of sincere admiration, unlike the first fight.
‘Did I score points unintentionally?’
There’s nothing wrong with her daughter, Hiro’s principal, if she looks good on her.
“Ha ha.. Ha.. Principal, what are you doing leaving the stairs in good shape?.. Ah.. Hello. Parents. My name is Chung Jeong-ryeong, who is the vice principal of Shinsung International Academy.”
Jeonghwaryeong, who came running late, tried to nag Iron Mask, but met Cheols eyes, put his hands together and said with a smile.
“Chelsea Pharmaceutical products are really helping our academy students! I’ve always wanted to send my thanks, but I haven’t had the opportunity to meet them…”
“Haha. It’s enough for me that I’ve been helpful to the students who will become future leaders. Yes.”
Cheols smiled like a sympathetic Jung Jeong-ryeong, but inside he felt a sense of distance from Jeong Jeong-ryeong.
On the contrary, it was more difficult to deal with a person with a business-like smile than an iron mask that gave off a funny feeling.
“Oh! And you don’t have to worry about the admissions process at all. The principal and I. And of course, with the help of the president of our academy, admission without exams…!”
“Communication, what are you talking about?”
A word from Iron Mask that cut off Purification Spirit’s explanation to Cheols in a soft voice.
‘Please. Guild Leader’
Although the purification spirit held back Iron Mask’s next move with the shape of her mouth.
“Chairman Cheols Pharma’s good intentions have certainly been of great help to our academy. However! In the history of our academy, illegal admission by solicitation has never been allowed. Looking at the president’s well-trained musculoskeletal system, it does not seem that the request was made with unjust intentions. I don’t, but… We cannot enroll your child in our academy unless he or she passes the appropriate screening test.”
“Okay.”
“So you’d better apply next semester or find another academy.”
Iron Mask held out his palm and spoke in a determined voice.
‘I can’t do that.’
There was a reason why Cheols had to admit Hiro this semester.
“If you pass the principal’s screening test criteria, will you be able to enroll my daughter?”
“Ohhh.. You mean my standard, no one else’s?”
“Yes. My daughter is very good. Very.”
“All parents tell me that their child is an outstanding child. However, my standards for verification are by no means low…”
“It will pass, right?”
When Cheols asked, moving his gaze, Hiro, who had been standing still, hesitated for a moment before closing and opening her eyes once.
“Yes. I can pass. I am my father’s daughter.”
He looked straight at the iron mask and said.
Haha! This is fun. Very-!”
Flutter.
Iron Mask burst into laughter, undid his tie, took off his suit jacket, and rolled up his shirt’s arms.
“The content of the test is simple. If my child scratches my body using his ability, I will pass. I will never attack! I will only defend on the spot.”
The content of the test was the same as the original.
“Will you do it?”
“Yes. You gave me the opportunity as a request, but there is no reason to refuse.”
“Haha! You say it as if you’ll pass? Anyway… Vice Principal. Take the lady over there to the gym armory, prepare something useful, and turn on the gym shock absorber right away.”
“Ha.. I see. Principal.”
So Jeonghwa-ryeong took Hiro to the armory, gave him a sharp sword, and returned to the arena.
“Since it might be dangerous, President, why don’t you go upstairs with me?”
“All right.”
Afterwards, she takes Cheols and goes up to the second floor where there are observation seats.
– Ah. Mic test. I will apply the protection sheet.
Moments later, the loudspeaker’s voice reverberated throughout the gym…
— Geeing–!
Something like a blue membrane spreads from the center of the gym floor and covers the entire space.
As it is a gym used by talented people, a shock absorber was essential to minimize damage to abilities.
Jing..
And a red-haired girl and an iron mask standing opposite each other in the middle of the gymnasium completely coated with blue air currents.
“Just once! Just once! If you scratch my body, I’ll pass you right away, needless to say.”
Even though she is a beautiful and cute girl, the iron mask that clearly covers the public and private life is bluffing her with one finger.
“I can. No. I will.”
As long as Cheols is watching, he will definitely do it with all his might.
“That will is good.”
Iron Mask smiled softly at Hiro…
“Transform!”
Spitting out words that don’t need to be shouted –
Slurr..!! Hot Deuk–!
It manifests the transformation system ability ‘steelization’.
‘Steelization… It’s the ability to change the body and the clothes you’re wearing into steel and increase strength and muscle strength.’
Iron Mask performed powerful fisting techniques with her body made of steel.
In addition to the excellent balance of attack and defense, the iron mask’s winding technique is very good.
‘Without a doubt in the top 100 of the rankings, S-class talent. I can never win as Hiro now.’
However, the content of the game is not the difference between winning and losing.
Just attack and inflict scratches.
Baek Shin-hyeok of the original work also poured the ‘Cheongwol sword method’ learned from Kang Woo-chan and succeeded in scratching one arm of the iron mask.
As for why it was an arm, it was because only one arm was made of steel and all of Baek Hyuk’s attacks were blocked with that arm.
Slippery..
‘This time, the arm… Huh? Both arms? No wait… Not both sides… That’s it!’
Hot—!
It’s not enough that everything except the base of the neck turns into silvery steel.
Coo…!!
Liquid steel pours out from its entire body and transforms into a 5m tall steel man.
Haha! We’ll only defend here. Try attacking somewhere. Of course! If you can’t make up your mind, it doesn’t matter if you give up?”
Iron Mask shouted at Hiro, a very small girl, laughing heartily in the form of a muscular steel giant.
