Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game

306 – 306. Demon Hunting (1)

Jin Yuha’s party settled the opponent with a single blow.

The other parties, feeling a sense of crisis at the sudden appearance of the irregular, Alice, gritted their teeth and faced Jin Yuha’s party.

“Strike as quickly as possible and stop that girl!”

But.

Click.

BoooM─!

“Argh!”

“Grrk─!”

“How are we supposed to stop that!!!”

Jin Yuha’s party,

2 wins.

“Unite! Cover your bodies with mana as much as possible and link arms! Endure even if you die!”

Click.

BoooM─!

“This is cheating!”

“This is too much…”

“Whimper…”

Jin Yuha’s party.

3 wins.

“I will definitely win here and enter Utopia… I will become a saint, worthy of the name of an elite member, the flower on the cliff…”

Click.

BoooM─!

“Screeeam!”

“Her mana limit should be tripled!”

“What the heck is this…”

The most intense emotion shared by those facing Alice was ‘unfairness.’

They just charged in, loaded with mana, and swung simply,

but it couldn’t be stopped.

It felt like a one-man tank battery was pushing in.

Blocking it with a bare body was impossible with ordinary strength.

Kwaaang─!

“Ughaaah─! I, I held on!!”

“I, I’m dying…”

“For now, we can’t help anymore─! You guys have to do it!”

Still, there was a party that succeeded in doing it.

Since the opponent was a team that had won three times and advanced, they were quite skilled.

Although three tanks were sacrificed in one attack by Alice, they managed to hold on somehow.

A feeling of exhilaration appeared on the faces of the opposing party.

“Yeah, we did it─! This girl must be out of mana now!”

“Let’s regroup and attack right away!”

“Yeah, let’s go─!!”

But, there was something they were forgetting.

“Hey, are we just going to sit around?”

“Ugh, I was really scared we wouldn’t get a chance today… After all the trouble we’ve been through─!”

Alice wasn’t the only one in Jin Yuha’s party.

Hwarang and Iron Wall.

There were still the dealer and tank who had entered as special students.

“Ugh! Why are they so fast!”

“They weren’t this good before…!?”

“No way, what are these─!!”

Unlike Alice, Hwarang and Iron Wall, who were somewhat known before entering the academy, had their strengths somewhat understood.

According to previous analyses,

they were outstanding enough to enter as special students, but not as exceptional as Alice, who was untouchable.

In other words, with the mana restriction artifacts they were wearing now, they should have been manageable with just regular cadets.

However, whether they had done something during the training period, they also showed skills that had shed a layer of their limits.

Despite their childlike appearance, they had sturdy bodies and possessed solid shield techniques, freely handling large shields.

The iron wall, whose timid personality held her back.

Even when countless attacks flew right in front of her, she didn’t blink an eye and instead pushed her body forward.

“Eek─! Compared to the instructor’s attacks, this is nothing─!!”

Also, Hwarang, who had decent attack power and flexible movements but was evaluated as lacking in basic physical strength, endurance, and defense.

She too showed off her skills, which had become much more natural than before.

“Ahahaha─! This is it! Yes! This is it! I thought I had weakened because I kept getting beaten by the instructor!”

They looked like two hungry wolves running through a flock of sheep.

It was no wonder that the instructor’s face, who had initially cheered for enduring Alice’s attack, hardened.

“What the… Why are they so strong?”

“No, what’s with them? Did they take some kind of drug?”

“Hmm, there’s no noticeable change in their stats… But their movements are completely different from before…”

The instructors watched the hologram screen and murmured in bewildered voices.

This was the result of enduring extreme situations while being tormented by Jin Yuha’s killing intent for nearly a month.

Compared to Jin Yuha’s attacks, these attacks were not threatening at all.

Having experienced a much higher level, their eyes became sharper, and they could dodge more easily.

Shin Sehee and Im Gaeul, who were watching, also widened their eyes in surprise.

“Wow… Those juniors are no joke. Their level is quite high. Is it because they are special admission students?”

“Indeed? Even though they are wearing mana restriction artifacts, they are not losing at all in a one-on-many fight… Rather, it seems like they are toying with them. Although there are still some parts that need improvement… They are quite, no, very useful forces.”

At this point.

The evaluation of Jin Yuha also began to rise.

– No, what… Were Hwarang and the iron wall always this strong?

– No, no, they weren’t originally this strong;; Both Hwarang and the iron wall are A-grade prospects, but two B-grade opponents should be enough to handle them…

– But why is this happening? They are not even a match at all?

– Lol, I thought Jin Yuha just got lucky with the special admission student gacha and picked the sword master’s granddaughter…

– They just got this strong through training;;

Breaking free from the stigma of succeeding only because they luckily picked Alice, an irregular, from the special admission students.

It was being proven in real-time that Jin Yuha truly had a talent for teaching cadets.

And watching their performance, Jin Yuha nodded.

‘That’s right, if Alice just neutralizes the tank, the rest won’t be a match for Hwarang and the iron wall.’

It would be good to watch their battle until the end.

Now, I had my own tasks to do.

‘Well, that was the end of the appetizer.’

The main course was about to begin.

‘Shall we go hunting demons now?’

I lightly licked my dry lips and called everyone in Utopia except Shin Se-hee.

* * *

Hah─!

Hah─!

Hah─!

Under the scorching sun, cadets were training hard under the instructor’s guidance.

A chair installed on the academy rooftop.

There was a man sitting on that chair, watching them.

A demon dealing with deception and lies.

Min Tae-hoon.

“Kuhuhuhu…”

He laughed sinisterly as he looked down at the academy from the rooftop.

His plan was now in its final stages.

Even those who had been weak until the day before suddenly changed and started showing results one by one,

The instructors, sensing something was amiss, began to move busily behind the scenes, but

It was already too late.

More than half of the 1,000 new cadets had received the seeds of demonic energy he had distributed.

He had used the power of lies to erase his existence.

He had even created another scapegoat to replace him in the male quota.

In other words, internally, it was rotten to the core, but they couldn’t find him.

Now, with just a flick of his finger, the academy would turn into a living hell that very day.

“I’m looking forward to it. Aren’t you, Alice?”

Min Tae-hoon turned his head and said.

Drip─

Then, Alice, with an expressionless face, poured wine into the glass he was holding and replied.

“Yes, Mr. Min Tae-hoon. Your plan will succeed.”

Min Tae-hoon nodded with a satisfied expression.

Alice.

He knew she was a big catch, but this woman was an even bigger prize.

‘The granddaughter of the Sword Emperor…’

He gently stroked Alice’s cheek, who stood beside him like a doll.

Could there be a trophy as great as this?

A sense of fulfillment swelled in his chest.

At first, she only followed Jin Yu-ha around, but now she didn’t even glance at him and chose to stay by his side.

“Hahaha, now if we offer all those who received the seeds of demonic energy as sacrifices and summon the Demon Lord, it will be quite a sight.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, think about it! It’s the greatest terror in history! In the middle of Velvet Hunter Academy, which was thought to be the safest place, over 500 freshmen will die─!”

Excited, he spoke to Alice in a thrilled voice.

“Then what will happen? The academy’s reputation will plummet to the ground. Parents who sent their precious sons and daughters as freshmen to the academy will find them all sacrificed to the demons or returned as corpses infected with demonic energy! Can the academy handle that?”

The smile on Min Tae-hoon’s lips stretched wide, reaching his ears.

“Kuhuhu! Then, questions about Lina’s abilities will arise everywhere, and countries will no longer rely on Velvet Hunter Academy! Utopia won’t be free from it either!”

If that happens, the demons around the world can act according to their instincts without any hindrance.

To handle the simultaneous incidents,

Velvet Hunter Academy will be overwhelmed just managing its internal affairs.

“Yes, thus the era of chaos will begin!”

Min Tae-hoon shouted, spreading his arms wide.

“Now, let’s offer the sacrifices and summon him!”

Wooong─

The seeds of demonic energy that Min Tae-hoon had sown in the cadets began to resonate.

“Come forth, Demon of Lies, descend upon this place─”

At that moment.

“Crazy b*stard. What nonsense.”

A strange voice flowed from Alice’s mouth, who was standing behind him.

A deep male voice that couldn’t possibly be hers.

“…What?”
