How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel

77 – Interview with the President

Lee Han was in trouble.

‘There is a little bit of cheering?’

In part, the opponent was treated as cruelly as possible.

Anyway, it doesn’t actually break your head, so what does it matter?

It’s just that the children watching frowned…

‘It seems there were some people who liked cruel things.’

It seems there was a slight calculation mistake.

Nevertheless, many children are still afraid of Lee Han.

That would be enough.

Go down to the waiting area and wait for a while.

— The next sparring is with Lee Seon-jin and Lee Han!

Your turn has come once again.

“hehehehe… Is the bastard here?”

A person who greets you as soon as you step up to your seat.

“Cadet Seonjin Lee! Be careful with your words and actions!”

Even though the instructor immediately warned me.

“hehehe…”

He just laughs like a half-lost idiot.

The instructor left the device and the full-scale sparring began.

Lee Han observed the guy for a moment.

Pupils that look half-open.

Saliva dripping from parted lips.

‘I think I put medicine in it?’

Considering that the student council, led by Seo Hayoon, distributed drugs, it is certainly a reasonable prediction.

There is a high possibility that the distribution plan is among these three people.

‘Anyway, you picked all the trashy things and did them.’

As expected, she is Shenyang’s daughter.

Anyway.

“Ugh…”

How much medicine did that bastard put in?

It looks almost insane.

Or is there a connection between the original ability and that mental state?

… While I was thinking about that.

– Paaang!

The guy’s fists rushed in.

No. Can this be called a rush?

For a moment, Lee Han’s eyes became dark.

Not in a figurative sense, but in reality.

It was because of the shadow created by Lee Seon-jin’s fist that arrived in a split second.

– Pow!

He took a large step back and raised his maliciously strengthened wooden sword to block.

It was an overwhelming sense of speed to the point of embarrassment.

Lee Han asked without realizing it.

“What on earth did you eat?”

“…Tsk. You’re pretty fast too, aren’t you?”

Lee Han frowned.

‘This kid, it seems like his intelligence has completely degenerated?’

Judging by the body speed, it is absolutely impossible at the cadet level, no matter how much the body enhancement ability is.

Whatever drug that guy drank, I don’t think it was just one type.

In other words, as soon as this sparring is over, numerous side effects will greet him.

No, the side effects may already be manifesting due to that shattered intelligence.

‘… No, wait.’

This means that there is a possibility that these guys may have modified their plan differently from the existing story.

It means that he will give everything to Lee Seon-jin and throw away the final decision.

That means…

Lee Han glanced up at the magic engineering device above his eyes.

A green light blinks as if the current status of the device is okay.

But you never know when it will light up red or explode.

‘Let’s see the match right away.’

Lee Han modified his strategy.

If the magical engineering equipment explodes while this drug mass goes crazy, it will be difficult to deal with it alone.

– Paaat!

The bastard’s fist strikes once again.

Lee Han pretended to block it.

– Slurp.

I turned my body and let it go.

I was planning on attacking the guy’s back, which would be exposed if things continued like this.

“Sigh!”

The guy grotesquely recoils his body and regains his position.

“hehehehe! That’s shallow…!”

But immediately Lee Han exuded malice.

A dagger cut thin enough not to be seen by others.

I put it straight into the guy’s knee.

“Quaaa!”

A guy crying out in pain.

However, Lee Han wasted no time and extended his wooden sword at the guy.

He planned to pierce the solar plexus at once.

But.

– Paaa!

Magic power suddenly released into the guy’s body.

The red warning light of the magic engineering device came on in Lee Han’s eyes.

“Damn it!”

Immediately it radiated malice and protected itself.

– Kwaaa!

A magic engineering device that explodes with a huge explosion sound.

The explosive power doubled in response to the mana that Seonjin Lee erupted.

Terrorism in a completely unexpected way.

‘Damn it.’

Lee Han immediately looked around.

‘If there was an explosion of this magnitude… The children watching would have also been injured, right?’

The surroundings were pitch black with black smoke.

That moment.

“Why are you looking around so much?”

A sharp voice was heard.

A girl with red hair. Ryu Seo-ah.

She spread a translucent veil, blocking most of the power of her explosion.

Lee Han’s eyes were filled with surprise at the unexpected appearance of the hero.

“… What are you?”

“I was watching him closely because he had a strange feeling. I was worried that he might be a weak person.”

“You really saved me?”

“Well, it can’t be!”

Ryu Seo-ah shouted.

“I don’t want that person to get too excited and break someone’s head. That’s why I came. If the magic engineering equipment doesn’t work properly, people can really die.”

“…Hey, I’m not that much of a barbarian, am I?”

“I guess that’s right. Savage. Looking at that earlier.”

Lee Han felt unfair.

I didn’t actually break someone’s head, I just gave them a bit of a scare by trusting them with magic engineering equipment, but they’re criticizing me like that.

“Well, you wouldn’t be able to understand the showmanship of a top-notch villain like me.”

When I said that, Ryu Seo-ah immediately frowned.

“As expected, it’s the worst.”

Liu Seo-ah, who had maintained that reward-filled expression for a while, asked casually.

“Do you want to cooperate?”

Lee Han was somewhat surprised.

That arrogant Liu Seo took the initiative to extend her hand to cooperate.

“Who? Did you tell me?”

“Then there’s someone else here.”

“Why?”

“Is the enemy of my enemy a friend? No, not a friend at all! And he is also my definite enemy and a target of revenge!”

Ryu Seo, whose face turned bright red, pointed a finger at her Lee Seon-jin as if to vent her anger.

“Anyway, he looks worse than you! It looks like he’s plotting something.”

Lee Han looked pitifully at Ryu Seo-ah, whose tone of voice suddenly changed.

“……”

What can I say? Recently, Ryu Seo’s acquaintance with Mana Circle seems to be rather unstable in her psychology and emotions.

For some reason, I don’t think that’s a bad direction.

‘I think there’s enough to make fun of.’

Sigh.

Like a first-class villain, Lee Han raised the corner of his mouth and opened his mouth.

“Well, if you ask that much, there’s nothing we can do.”

“Oh, no! Take back what I just said! I’ll solve it myself! I’m really crazy!”

Lee Han caught Ryu Seo-ah as she tried to turn around.

And she quickly briefed the situation.

“There is a high possibility that he ran away to the back. His name is Yang Chan-il. I saw him talking to this guy before.”

“How do you know so well?”

“They came together earlier and started a fight.”

“Ah.”

“I’ll take care of this. Go ahead. She’s the main body. Catch her.”

Ryu Seo-ah, who was about to run, stops and looks behind her.

Why is it like that?

“Isn’t this what I asked for? Isn’t this what you asked for?”

“I understand.”

After hearing the answer, Ryu Seo-ah ran straight away.

And only then.

“You bastard!”

Lee Seon-jin, who was reeling from the shock of the magical explosion, immediately opened her eyes with a flash of white.

Seeing that she doesn’t stutter, has she regained some of her senses?

Top-notch villains do not commit useless killings.

No. Rather, he doesn’t waste energy uselessly.

“Hey, Seonjin Lee. Let’s look at reality.”

“Reality?”

“You’re screwed, you bastard. Your older brother abandoned you and ran away.”

“Damn it!”

“What the hell. Can’t you see this? The magic engineering device has been shattered?”

“…….”

“Isn’t that your plan? To destroy the magic engineering device and hurt the kids. But oh well.”

“?”

“Why did this explode on your turn?”

“Shut up!”

“You tried to use it like a rag and throw it away. It looks like you induced a mana-sensitive explosion. You committed a suicide attack, you idiot.”

“You bastard!”

Lee Han sighed softly as he saw Lee Seon-jin running towards him, unable to bear it any longer.

As a first-rate villain like the sky, I tried to give some advice to a third-rate villain.

“Tsk, tsk. This is why villains these days can’t do it.”

Lee Han picked up a real wooden sword this time.

“Just such a big bastard.”

As a senior villain, I will teach you some lessons.

* · * *

Lee Sun-jin and Yang Chan-il revealed all the facts.

All facts are that, at the request of Seo Hayoon, a terrorist attack was planned for the benefit of the Shenyang Group, or more precisely, the subsidiary in charge of Seo Hayoon.

The loyalty of third-rate villains is extremely thin.

The result.

“… The situation has become serious.”

Lee Han was called to the president’s office along with Ryu Seo-ah.

I wonder how on earth this is the result of something that just happened.

Lee Han, who saw President Elysia’s serious expression, listened to her words with a sigh.

“You all know Cadet Seo Hayoon, the former student council president…”

“He’s rich.”

Ryu Seo-ah looked shocked at Ian’s answer.

A face that seems to say, ‘What are you talking about in front of the president?’

As expected of a hero, he has a stubborn side.

How much the president likes this straightforward way of speaking.

Elysia smiled and accepted Lee Han’s words.

“He’s not just a rich person, he’s a conglomerate. A conglomerate who has considerable influence over the academy.”

Ryuseo nodded her head sheepishly.

“Ah… Yes.”

At this point, Lee Han realized why the president had called him and Ryu Seo-ah.

Elysia is a person who wants to weaken the influence of the Shenyang group and religious order within the academy.

Therefore, Lee Han felt that Elysia’s next line was a piece of cake.

“Do you know that Seo Ha-yoon’s younger sister, Seo Ha-eun, attends here?”

“Yes.”

“Are you close?”

“I don’t think it’s that bad.”

Lee Han’s simple answer.

Elysia hung back.

“I heard you are close.”

“Well, then I guess we’re friends.”

Lee Han shrugged his shoulders, and Ryu Seo-ah and the president both looked embarrassed.

Elysia calmed her expression and opened her mouth.

“Anyway. You will be dispatched to Shenyang Group as a member of the student autonomy investigation committee.”
