How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel

72 – Joint Sparring (2)

Orbis Academy.

This place is itself a huge power and money.

The first was Orbis, which took root somewhere in Korea, in a place whose name no one knew.

But now the city itself is called Orbis.

The physical scale of Orbis itself is nothing compared to a city, but the scope of Orbis influence is comparable to that of a province.

The president of Orbis is unofficially treated as something more than the head of a local organization.

The influence it has on the economy, society, and politics cannot be said to be small.

Furthermore, even though the talented people under them are students, they have a combat power that is no different from that of a country’s army just in terms of number and quality.

When considering these factors together —

“The leader of Orbis is within three fingers of the national power hierarchy.”

After mumbling that, Seo Ha-eun opened the door to the Orbis main building.

Orbis Main Building.

I feel power here.

I feel the money that comes with power.

A luxurious lobby finished with antique marble and black materials.

“Seo Ha-eun. I am a first year student.”

After proving her identity to the security guard, Seo Ha-eun stepped inside the main building.

Administrative Department, Admissions Management Department, Faculty Department, Urban Policy Department… ….

This place is like the nucleus of Orbis power, where all the most important departments related to Orbis are located.

Above all, the leader of Orbis. It is also where the president is located.

Of course, it is not easy to find the students. Only adults with somewhat tired expressions were walking around holding documents or terminals in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.

Seo Ha-eun seemed to be familiar with this kind of scenery and naturally moved to the corner of the lobby.

Second generation chaebol.

Shenyang Group’s youngest daughter.

An illegitimate child that everyone in the family hates.

And the lowest heir.

Sentences that describe Seo Ha-eun.

— Ttogak

Her steps stopped.

Raise her head.

[Orbis Organizational Chart]

Her resentment, hostility, revenge.

The non-negotiable goal of taking over Shenyang someday.

The scent of power that will make her dream come true comes from here.

[President]

You have to raise your head a long time to see the height.

The end of power that stands alone and securely.

There are stems extending out from underneath.

Administration, policy, admissions… ….

Various most important departments.

And there is an organization that is along the same lines as them.

[Student Council]

The only organization that Orbis students can enter.

No, it is an organization made up only of students and guaranteed autonomy to act independently.

The core of Orbis’ student power, which advocates student autonomy.

Student Council.

This huge building was built in an infinitely grand manner.

Seo Ha-eun clenched her fists as she thought about the student council office located somewhere in the corner.

“I’ve known since you tried to become student council president.”

Hayun Seo.

I know why that dirty woman was obsessed with that position.

And now that Seo Hayoon has slipped down from that spot.

“I think it’s my turn now, sister.”

Seo Ha-eun smiled in front of him.

Student president election to be held soon.

Seo Hayoon will definitely try again.

But Seo Ha-eun also knows.

The position of student council president is worth putting everything into. They say that starting from this place, Shenyang can be swallowed up.

The battle for succession rights in Shenyang, a mega conglomerate.

The foundation for a reversal was laid here.

Meanwhile.

Orbis 11th training room.

Lee Han was training today in a place that any academy cadet can use.

Dozens of Mana dolls fell in front of Lee Han.

“Whew.”

Lee Han took a deep breath with satisfaction.

It is now possible to deal with malice in earnest.

Of course, I used it before, but it was actually more of a struggle to survive for now.

Strengthen your body somehow, punch, kick, and grab the neck.

“Ugh.”

No matter how much of a villain his identity is, what can I say… …. It’s so undignified, isn’t it?

But the amount of evil increased in an instant.

I am currently learning how to summon a dagger as a long-distance attack method, i.E., Igigeeosword.

“This is fun.”

I can’t help but feel that the longer the attack, the more malice is wasted. Anyway, it was fun and showed some form.

Well.

There’s no need for the villain to worry about Echo, right?

“If you’re a villain, you waste some money.”

Furthermore, he is a top-notch villain.

Isn’t there a sense of pride in this identity?

As someone who stands at the forefront of villains, it is time to slowly improve my image.

Image of the villain.

That is quite important.

When people think of a hero, a flashy image comes to mind.

I think I will take good care of myself, and my abilities will be cool.

Of course that is true.

“In reality, heroes make a living with a good image.”

They all make a living from that.

If a villain appears somewhere, find a hero, fly there, solve the problem brilliantly, and receive cheers from those around you.

The core of hero activities is the image that is constantly strengthened through such activities.

“But that also applies to villains.”

An era where villains are gloomy and shabby?

That happened a long time ago.

Such old-fashioned villains cannot be called first-class villains.

In a new era, new first-class villains also pay attention to their appearance.

Slightly more flashy techniques, flashier attacks.

That was the reason why it was necessary.

After training the new technology, Igigeo Sword, I came out.

“…Over there.”

Because of his short stature, I almost missed seeing him.

When I lowered my head toward the voice, Hyunjin Yoon was standing at the entrance to the training room.

Brown eyes looking up at us.

‘Why is he here?’

For some reason, I feel like we run into each other often these days.

Well, I used to pass by and say, ‘Lee Han! I often heard, ‘Follow the rules!’ As expected, the atmosphere has changed since then.

He walked up to her and stood in front of her, wiping her sweat with his arms.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Oh? Huh?”

“You had a hard time during the second awakening. It seems like you’ve been going around a bit recently.”

“Ugh…”

The last time we ran into each other, it was Yoon Hyun-jin who ran away in a hurry. Did I ask for no reason? You should just watch.

Now that her God’s Eye is gone, she is almost the only person she can talk to openly. It would be better to approach it a little more calmly.

“Ugh…”

Anyway.

It looks like there is something embarrassing about the slightly flushed red cheeks.

He continued to raise his eyes and look at her chest, then lowered his head again.

Seeing that, Lee Han looked down at his chest.

Clothes that are somewhat dented for training.

Beyond that, sweaty muscles… There’s nothing to say, but my bare skin caught my eye anyway.

“I’m sorry. I must have smelled too much from sweat. I have something to say. Shall we take a shower?”

“Oh, no… It’s not like that!”

Swish swish.

“It doesn’t smell, it’s actually better…No!”

Hyunjin Yoon, who was shaking his head, hurriedly took out what he was holding in his hand.

“… A handkerchief?”

“Yes. You lent it to me last time.”

From noble mtl dot com

I received it and opened it.

This is a somewhat expensive-looking handkerchief in dark navy color and has a nice feel.

Of course, it is very different from the cheap gift that was given to Yoon Hyun-jin.

“Isn’t this a luxury product?”

“Yes. Well… The one you gave me was a little dirty.”

“I could have just washed it and returned it.”

“Absolutely not.”

Yoon Hyun-jin raises his eyes resolutely, as if he was trying to take away something precious.

… What. It doesn’t seem like it will ever work, right?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Yoon Hyun-jin’s resolute side.

It doesn’t look that bad because it seems like it has regained its original energy.

Yoon Hyun-jin immediately apologized.

“I’m sorry. This is just…”

“No, thank you. What’s there to be sorry about? It’s my benefit.”

The corner of Hyunjin Yoon’s mouth slowly rises when he says thank you.

Then, she took something out of her pocket again.

When I look at those brown eyes, I wonder if it’s some kind of squirrel.

“Oh, and I don’t think you’ve seen this yet.”

What Hyunjin Yoon handed over was a piece of paper the size of a letter.

What is this… ?

“Okay, then I’ll just go!”

Yoon Hyun-jin runs out without giving anyone a chance to check.

Lee Han looked down at the paper in his hand with embarrassment.

I couldn’t help but feel curious.

[Notice on holding joint sparring]

The details of this semester’s joint sparring have been decided.

All students in the target grades are required to attend, so please pay special attention to the schedule and participate. You can check the group composition by clicking the code below.

* Top ranking benefits, such as scholarships, will remain the same. Please check the notice first and then contact us.

Ah.

I gave it to you because you might not have seen it because you were training.

He is also a good kid.

“Was it a joint sparring?”

Anyway, it’s a joint sparring.

It really feels like the events never end.

I thought I would have some time to spare, so the scenario progressed right away.

Joint sparring.

Unlike sparring classes that are usually held only within the same class, joint sparring is open to all academy cadets who can participate (in other words, 1st and 2nd years excluding 3rd years who are busy participating in various practical activities and 4th years who are stuck in the lab). It is a sparring class where people gather together and participate.

Of course, it is an event where all the names of the Academy appear.

More than anything, it is an opportunity for the talents of first-year students to be revealed in earnest.

Although Han Chae-yoon plays a leading role in the second year, she quickly abstains due to her reluctance to expose her abilities.

Thanks to you, various promising first-year players… Children like Sun Ah-yeon and Seo Ha-eun are active in earnest. And above all, Ryu Seo-ah shows off her overwhelming talent.

In fact, through joint sparring, Ryu Seo-ah is clearly ranked No. 1 In Orbis talent and is established as a ‘hero’.

“Well, there are some activities of the main characters…”

Of course, the appearance of a villain in an event like this is inevitable.

It is also a scenario in which various third-rate villains appear, including the (old) student council, which has now become (old).

“… My head already hurts.”

Lee Han shook his head.

Well.

There is no need for a first-class villain to be active in a joint sparring. I think it would be enough to just watch from a distance.

“Ryu Seo-ah is there too.”

Anyway, as long as our hero, Ryu Seo-ah, is there, there won’t be any content where most third-rate villains will be active.

In addition, unlike the existing story, Yoon Hyun-jin completed his second awakening without any problems, so it will be a great help to his strength.

Third-rate villains who can’t be first-rate villains won’t even be able to make sense of it.

“This time, let’s just watch. Just watch.”

Lee Han thought he had learned how to let go.
