There Is No Hidden Villain in This Novel Chapter 28

The fallen cadet is gasping for breath, almost at death’s door. Seeing this, a brave child, seemingly prepared to displease the professor, shouted out desperately.

‘Was her name Hae Yuna?’

Do Hyeon did not dislike such children either. Because they were fresh and lovely.

If there was an element in this classroom to be thought of as ‘disliked,’ it would probably be them.

“Stop? Why should I?”

“Such absurdity……!”

Cassis de Millang, with eyes that seemed to say, ‘Go on, put on a little show for me,’ and Ryuseong, who was staring at Cassis de Millang with a strangely chilling gaze.

Among the three mentioned who did not feel fear, Shin Myohan was in the same line of business, so it was natural, but those two alone.

‘…….’

It was unsettling not being able to grasp what thoughts their round skulls contained, and though it was unbecoming of a professor, it was to the point of being unpleasant.

Do Hyeon could make her opponent let their guard down at will. And she could also make them fear her. With that, she had successfully conquered highly intelligent named ones and lived to tell the tale. But they were different.

‘For fresh-faced brats…….’

They had eyes that could not be deceived.

Finally, when she expressionlessly snapped the strand of hair, everyone fell into a crucible of panic.

“Aaaaaaaah! The professor killed someone!”

“This is insane! I have to get out of……!”

But, at that moment.

A bizarre thing happened.

“Uh……?!”

The cadet who was suffocating to death suddenly shot his eyes wide open!

“Uh, uh. I’m sorry.”

He even bowed his head awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, and sat back in his seat. He looked embarrassed, as if he were flustered by the surroundings staring at him with wide eyes. Do Hyeon admired the chaotic silence created by the cadets and then twisted the corner of her lips up.

“Cadet over there. What did you dream of?”

A dream?

‘Was that all, a dream?’

All that desperate screaming and struggling?

The cadet who had the ‘dream,’ unaware that the other cadets were staring at him with dazed expressions, was embarrassed.

“Well…… the water kept rising and I fell into a river…….”

But, was all of it truly just a dream? If even a part of it was not a dream, then…….

“Yes. This is shamanism.”

Do Hyeon said so and burst into laughter, as if scraping out a low voice. Like the smile of a shadow.

“You can make the water rise without anyone knowing, and you can substitute all of it with a dream.”

“…….”

“And, you can also make it reality.”

This power, don’t you want it?

Do Hyeon, who had whispered as if cunningly bewitching them, finally grinned as if wrinkling her face and threw the flame that had risen on her hand to the ceiling. At that, the darkened classroom instantly regained its light and became bright. The window that had turned dark and gloomy also became bright again, illuminating the outdoors.

Although it seemed the fear that had dawned on the cadets’ faces would not disappear, it did not matter. This one experience would clearly imprint upon them what kind of power ‘shamanism’ possessed.

‘Ugh, this should be enough not to lose to Taoist magic, right? The old geezers were getting so angry. Saying I should just go back to the business if I fail again this time.’

Do Hyeon, scratching the top of her head a little, thought, “To hell with it,” and decided to go back to her usual self: sloppy, full of openings, and a bad-tempered moron.

“Alright, alright, let’s give a round of applause for the cadet who sacrificed a dream for the sake of the long-awaited shamanism class!”

In any case, Do Hyeon was a person who found both liking and hating people to be a hassle. That was her nature.

Even if Cassis de Millang felt awkward, what could she do?

The young boy who had stood so serenely at the scene where the old snakes of de Millang tore her master to shreds was now, even as a grown man, mocking her so innocently, so what on earth.

‘What can someone like me do against that de Millang? It is what it is.’

*

‘I’m… I’m so scared.’

Clap, clap, I slowly brought my bare hands together and clapped. I did it because I was scared of disobeying the professor, but the kids around me, whether they were frozen or what, did not even clap, and only then looked at me when I started clapping. Damn it. Was my personality too conspicuous for a situation where one person almost died? But the professor told me to do it, so should I just ignore her? Shit.

This is the first time for me too, to witness this level of lunacy in 3D in person.

In other words, you could say that after seeing such an admirable personality, I ended up catching it? Hehet.

‘Of course, I did witness the principal’s outrageous dueling show firsthand.’

Come to think of it, to pull this kind of stunt right after that outrageous duel, this academy really takes the cake for violating cadet human rights.

Anyway, shamanism seemed more useful than I thought. Frankly speaking, if you’re in a physical fight, you can pretend to grab their hair, pull out a strand, and then curse them from behind. It would be a sweet revenge, wouldn’t it? Of course, most conquerors would probably be decked out with protective charms that block curses, but if you cast a curse about five hundred times in a row, won’t the protective charms run out and they’ll die?

In that sense, I might have to be wary of the shamans around me.

The fortunate thing is that I have never done anything to displease Do Hyeon, and in the first place, the original work described that professor as being neutral with a friendly inclination towards de Millang. That is why she was portrayed as being annoyingly so in the original work.

Since she usually took de Millang’s side,

She will probably do the same this time!

‘Sucking the family’s nectar is the best!’

The next turn in the grand chaotic orientation was Professor A-ple of the magic course. He came up to the podium with a ridiculous expression and shrugged his shoulders.

“Ah, dammit. This is too much. I didn’t prepare a show with that much impact. You were so half-hearted every time, but are you overflowing with motivation this year? Are you saying de Millang and Ryuseong are together, yes? Are you trying to take them all?”

Do Hyeon just waved her hand without answering. A-ple, who burst into a “Huhuhu” laugh at her expression that said to just get on with it without the small talk, spread his arms wide and looked at the cadets.

“Alright! Everyone, are you a genius? If you’re not, please leave! I only teach geniuses.”

“…….”

……What’s with this guy.

It was a dumbfounding introduction in a different sense. I did not want to feel the characters’ personalities this clearly. I unknowingly clapped my hands, clap clap, at the admirable personality and speech of the faculty and ended up drawing attention. Aww, damn it.

“Ooh, yes. Sir Cassis de Millang! Aren’t you the genius of geniuses?”

“……Haha, you flatter me.”

“My goodness, have you come equipped with a modesty you never had before? Why! There’s no need for that. As long as you can prove it, there’s no need to hide your genius! Hahaha. Just like me!”

“I’ve heard your esteemed opinion well.”

“Oh my, oh my, that means you’ll read and ignore it, doesn’t it? Yes, I’m good at Korean! You seem to be too, Sir Cassis? Has everyone learned Korean well? Isn’t it the common language of Araea!”

A-ple tried to lighten the mood with small talk using me, but he was not very successful. That is because the person who had just heard from the cadet next to him that he himself had been rolling on the floor as if he were dying was so surprised that he fell off his chair.

“…….”

“……Hmm, fine. I’m the only one suffering because of the previous presenter. Let’s get to the main point.”

He frowned slightly and tapped the blackboard with his fingertips, tak tak. At that, a piece of chalk floated up on its own and began to write on the blackboard.

“My name is A-ple. I teach magic to geniuses. Well, it’s fine to understand magic as a type of shamanism that uses mana.”

“Do you want to die? Don’t try to ride on my coattails!”

“It’s closer to shamanism than Taoist magic, isn’t it!”

“That’s true.”

Behind A-ple, who wrinkled his nose as if to say “I told you so,” a difficult-to-understand magic circle was being completed. Before it was fully drawn, the professor asked me.

“The only drawback is that you can’t do it if you’re dumb, so then, Sir Cassis here, can you guess what kind of magic circle this is?”

……Shit, I was off guard, and a surprise question came flying and cut through my delicate chest. Still, I’m glad I kept my eyes wide open when I was learning the 99 magic circles.

Because I can read a few of them.

‘It would be troublesome if the dignity of Cassis de Millang becomes a joke from the start!’

“The main sentence is a series of the [Open] formula, the [of] formula, and the [Beauty] formula, so it’s an ambiguous sentence, [Open the beauty]. Since the purpose is not clear, countless branches will arise depending on the caster’s interpretation. The sub-formulas below are [Illusion], [Organic], [Flowering]…….”

Actually, there are a few more, but I cannot read them. I should change the subject.

“The mana circuit in the center is vast, so its power must be great, but since it’s in series, the resistance will be considerable. Oh, of course, I’m speaking from a cadet’s level. If you created this for a cadet to cast, I can’t help but suspect that your understanding as a professor might be lacking……?”

In other words, do not make me do it. Even if I read this magic circle correctly, unless your understanding as a professor is low, do not make us do something like this for practical training.

“Hah, you’re quick on the uptake! But Sir Cassis, I believed that you, of all people, could do it?”

Ah, but this bastard is gently scratching at my nerves, isn’t he?

So, I decided to smile sweetly and speak in a soft voice.

“Is your family worthy enough to make a clown out of me?”

“…….”

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, but it is probably because of the weather, right?

It is not because of me, is it?
