Chapter 40
Episode 40
Mahol’s body twisted wildly under his hand.
He tried his best to somehow get out of my hands.
I had no intention of letting go.
He held Mahol’s neck with one hand and made a fist with the other.
‘When you lose your temper, the answer is to make you faint.’
When Mahol loses his temper, words cannot calm him down.
As he listened to dozens of poisonous voices, trying to calm them down was like throwing a stone into a stream.
To calm him down, you have to dam the stream not with small stones called words, but with huge stones called violence.
Puck Punch –
I put my fist in the face.
I felt my skin being crushed and my bones being broken by my fist.
“Whoop… Whoop…!”
He just took a deep breath as if it wasn’t painful and didn’t scream.
He just turned his head to avoid my fist and then tried to release the restraints on his now suppressed body.
“Just faint. “This too is difficult.”
Doing the same thing repeatedly was also quite frustrating.
I’ve been swinging my fist for about ten minutes now, as if I could finish it quickly.
Pop-pop!
I didn’t even adjust my strength.
I wanted to quickly knock him out, so I punched him with all my might.
The strength of my fists shouldn’t be that weak, but I got a little tired of seeing them last this long.
‘It looks like those voices have awakened properly.’
I don’t think it can be sustained simply by the will of one person.
Voices.
The source of power that strengthens Mahol and the will to turn Mahol into a murderer at any time.
It is impossible to endure this far without all of them awakening.
“Huh…”
With a short deep breath, the sound stopped coming from Mahol.
Have you finally passed out?
no. It is impossible to let down your guard. You must not let go of this hand.
Alarm bells began to ring in my head and my heart pounded.
Cold sweat ran down my back, dampening my clothes.
“It hurts…”
Mahol opened his mouth.
A very small voice.
He muttered in a voice so small that you couldn’t hear it unless you listened closely.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
I got goosebumps.
The sight of him muttering just one word over and over again couldn’t have been that creepy.
“How far have you fallen?”
Even the voice changed and there was no trace of Mahol.
“…It hurts me. “It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
His neck was bent in a deformed manner and he glared at the group of students being carried away by the teachers.
His scrunched up face became increasingly dark.
As if covered by a shadow, his body tried to escape my hand.
I’m the one hitting him now, but he was targeting the Iljin members.
“kill.”
My hands felt empty.
I ran right away without even thinking.
“Bow!”
“what…?”
I quickly lowered my head as I saw the teachers rushing towards me.
He grabbed the teacher’s shoulder and swung his legs in the air.
Quaaaang!
I felt a heavy feeling on my leg and a black ‘lump’ was thrown out.
Mahol, covered in black, stared at me quietly.
A shadow covered the window and the entire class suddenly became dark.
His red eyes looked at me in the dark.
I could see the emotions in those eyes.
Don’t disturb me.
He gave off the impression that he would kill anyone who interfered.
It was overflowing with life and filled the room.
“Teachers, please gather the cadets together and protect them right now.”
“….”
“right now!”
“Uh uh…uh!”
They were in a daze and hurriedly took the cadets and took them to a corner.
Each of them took out their swords and staffs and prepared for Mahol’s attack.
‘It would be nice to get everyone out.’
The entire entrance and exit were blocked by the shadow.
I don’t really want to fight to protect someone.
“Ellis. I may not be able to protect you from now on. So get in there and protect yourself.”
“…yes.”
Among the professors, Ellis had a solemn look in his eyes.
There is no need to be so secretive.
I have absolutely no intention of sending this guy there.
“Okay then, let’s finish our work too, right?”
I looked at ‘it’ wearing the shell of Mahol.
‘It’ rolled its red eyes and looked back and forth between the teachers who were protecting each other and me.
‘It’s’ mouth opened.
-Why are you disturbing me?
A voice full of resentment.
-They bullied me and my younger brother.
-You know that. You saw it too.
-The garbage dump where my brother and I lived.
-Those guys left me there and tormented me like I was someone they couldn’t kill.
-It’s still the same now. They messed with Raina. You touched Raina with those dirty hands!
Angry. rage. He shouted at me in a voice mixed with sadness, as if he were complaining.
It was so earnest that even the teachers behind him responded to the voice.
-Let me go.
-I will take revenge. You know it too. That’s what I, the owner of this body, want!
‘It’ kept talking.
Ask me to get out of the way. I begged him to please get out of the way.
“Stop acting.”
-…what?
It was difficult to listen to the end.
I read a novel.
I know about the voice I saw in that novel.
I knew very well what voices were.
Murderers who live to kill and will do anything to kill.
So much so that it wouldn’t be strange to say that he is an even worse murderer than Ahar.
That Ahar didn’t avoid Mahol for no reason.
They are cruel and clever enough to make even the main character of the novel run away.
“It’s so disgusting to hear this. You guys are doing this for Mahol? I hear all kinds of funny things. “Do you think he doesn’t know that he’s doing it because he wants to kill him?”
-….
‘It’ closed its mouth.
Giggling.
‘It’s’ red eyes were bent into half moons.
Laughter flowed from the entire shadow connected to ‘it’.
Giggle, cluck, cack, cack, cack, cack, cack, cack.
‘It’s’ mouth was torn open all the way to the ear, revealing sharp teeth.
-how did you know?
-How did know? Interesting. You know us so well!
-I want to dissect. I want to dig into the brain that knows us!
A cheerful voice full of malice rang out from all directions.
Sreuk. Toouk.
People fell down at the same time behind them.
Ellis, the teachers, and the cadets.
Everyone fell down at once like a doll whose strings were cut.
-What are you? How do you know us?
-No one knows us. Who the hell are you?
‘It’ asked me.
How do you know yourself? I answered by shrugging my shoulders.
-….
A shadow wriggled around ‘it’.
I put my hand on my waist, looking around in all directions.
Sreung.
After drawing the sword, I felt much better.
When I heard that something had happened to Ellis, I brought it with me just in case and it was so helpful.
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
-You have to kill him.
-Know us. Kill it. Kill me absolutely!
Hysterical laughter, angry voices, voices full of murder, etc. tormented my ears.
I covered my ears and frowned, then a shiver ran down my spine and I quickly took a step back.
Kakakakang!
Dozens of black blades appeared and pierced the spot where I was just moments ago.
-Die, die, die, die!
The shadow attacked me, cursing.
Blades were flying from all directions.
Kang kakakakang!
I swung my sword, bounced off the blades, and approached ‘it’.
“It’s so annoying.”
If I had knocked him out in the first place, things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.
It was necessary to suppress ‘it’ in order to wake Mahol.
The best way to do that is to stun him, which is what I was trying to do in the first place.
Kaang!
The flying blades did not pose much danger to me.
The reason why I am afraid of ‘it’ is not only physical, but it is also largely mental.
Endless curses and familiar voices that make people’s hearts pound.
Those factors touched people’s trauma and made it difficult to deal with ‘it’.
Every time Ahar met Mahol, he couldn’t bear it because he heard the voices of the villagers asking for his life.
‘I am different.’
There was no trauma of any note.
If you really want to find out, it’s just that he spent several years as a minor actor.
-Do not come! I’ll kill you!
‘It’ was rather embarrassed to see me approaching so calmly.
The murderous side that he had shown before has disappeared and now he is shabby and is using evil against me.
Standing close to ‘it’, I looked down at ‘it’.
The shadow that covered his face disappeared, revealing a pale-faced Mahol.
-Are you going to hit me?
Mahol looked up at me pitifully with his face.
The guy who was trying to convince me not to hit him.
“Why do you ask the obvious?”
I swung my fist without the slightest hesitation.
Pereook –
With a cheerful sound.
Suak –
Something sharp grazed my cheek.
I already guessed that he was making a fuss behind his face that was begging me not to hit him.
“It would be a shame. “If it weren’t for me, it wouldn’t have been successful.”
-What are you! What! Argh!
‘It’ screamed and struggled.
Watching the action calmly, he swung his sword and deflected the flying things.
He punched ‘it’ in the face with his other hand.
It was a little uncomfortable to see Mahol’s face exposed, but who wants his body stolen like that?
-It hurts, it hurts! That’s it!
‘It’ screamed and the shadows that covered the class began to disappear.
“My arm hurts, so let’s pass out quickly.”
It was a continuation of what I had just done.
He took turns hitting his entire body until he fainted.
Philtrum, solar plexus, shoulders, thighs, etc.
I aimed for the area where I would faint as quickly as possible, without any emergency.
-it hurts. I don’t like it… uh…
I could see with my eyes that the shadow of ‘it’ had completely disappeared and my consciousness was blurring.
‘Just a little more will do.’
Is it because I was relieved to think that this would soon be over?
I
couldn’t sense anyone coming in through the door.
“uh? “What on earth is going on…?”
I heard a voice that I shouldn’t have heard.
The owner of the voice I most wanted to hear was the vice principal.
The vice-principal, who went inside and looked at the disaster, immediately looked at me swinging my fist at Mahol and then stiffened.
-…consensus.
A voice full of life came from below.
Its body heaved, twisted its joints in a strange way, and slipped out of my hands.
-I will kill you!
The person Mahol has the most grudge against.
With his appearance, ‘it’’s consciousness returned.
“ah… Mr….”
I let out a small sigh and ran after ‘it’.
He was the person I least wanted to save, but ironically, he should not die now.
No, you must not die from Mahol.
If Mahol is labeled as a criminal, he will be in trouble.
I grabbed the head of the ‘thing’ that was attacking the vice principal and pinned it to the ground with all my strength.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
A huge roar went out, but instead of stopping there, he grabbed his head and hit it on the ground.
-….
Only after taking dozens of shots did ‘it’ lose consciousness and disappear.
Grumble. Mahol’s forehead was broken and bleeding.
“Oh uh… blood…!”
The vice principal sat down on the ground and looked at me blankly.
“Are you going to stay like that? You need to take care of it.”
“Uh uhh.”
The vice principal nodded absently and moved as if possessed.
A day after Mahol’s accident, the academy became very noisy due to the visiting nobles.
