Became a Human Rights Advocate

82 – Episode 16. Battle of the boosters.

＜9＞

“No, so I apologized for being sorry!”

“Words are not enough! Dogeza Do Geza! And crawl between my crotches and pray!”

“Would you like to do it!”

“Then die! Kya-ho-u-u!”

An unknown male student who looks like a Japanese man swings his fist.

It’s a weak-looking fist, but I didn’t even think about receiving it, so I ducked and barely avoided it.

The guy’s fist brushed through my hair and crashed into a nearby flower bed.

Tooquaang!

Then the marble flower bed was shattered with a tremendous sound.

Soil and stones in the flower bed being sprayed in all directions by the impact.

But he was laughing in the middle of it, not even thinking about avoiding it.

“Key… Kikikekek… Awesome… This is the power of a booster that you have only heard about in rumors.”

Looking at it, even a D rank is barely enough, an ordinary body enhancement type person.

A ability that would normally end up with a slight increase in strength has changed to such an extent that even a slender body can produce such destructive power.

“With this power… Those who bullied me and ignored me… All, I can give you a scolding. Kkeukekehikikiek.”

A guy who shakes his body excitedly, as if he is intoxicated with his power.

Then he turned his head again with a strange smile, as if he now remembered who he was fighting.

“Yes! That’s right! First of all, you…… What?”

I was already far away from him.

A fight that happened when I bumped into a guy who jumped out of an alley while running frantically.

I have no intention of losing my strength by responding to such disputes one by one.

Especially if the opponent is in a state of insanity drunk by the power of the booster.

“It’s over there!”

“Will you stand like me?!”

He chased after me with a face like that of a demon, and then came to a halt, gasping for breath.

Fortunately, the booster didn’t seem to increase his stamina.

“Haa…Haa… “

How much did you run like that? I stopped for a moment to catch my breath after ostracizing the guy I had a fight with.

The scenery of Accademia hasn’t changed much from its usual appearance yet, but if you look closely, you can see that the atmosphere is not unusual.

A siren sound that is hard to hear is heard all the time.

If you glance at the alley, you can see that many people are fighting.

You can see public property that has just been destroyed here and there.

It seems that the real situation is starting soon.

You have to move quickly.

The moment I thought that, a vibration rang in my pocket.

It seems that communication has been restored.

After confirming the caller, I answered the phone without hesitation.

“Hello, Baeksoso?”

– Senior Sihyuk! Is your body okay? Where are you now?

“I am fine, and I am on my way to the water service facility.”

-Ah, you don’t have to. There is no Zetas family boss here.

“No?”

You mean Paulo lied?

-Exactly… , It looks like it was here just now. That boss.

“Until a while ago? You mean no now?”

-Yes. Oh, and I found Team B.

“Alex? Is everyone okay?”

-I suffered miserably.

“…… “

I deserved it.

From noble mtl dot com

Ross is actually an incredibly strong guy.

A boss that you will face only at the end of the second semester.

It is not an enemy that we can easily defeat as we have yet to fully develop.

The opposite s*x was accepting it that way, but the feeling in his heart was somehow complicated.

“Are you badly hurt?”

-I don’t know exactly. Still, everyone was breathing normally, and since I called an ambulance, I think it’s probably okay.

“… I get it right away Did you get in touch with Mr. Joo Ji-young?

-I tried calling, but it hung up right away. I guess something is going on.

It cut off immediately.

Somehow, I have an ominous feeling.

“Then where are you moving now?”

-Well, where are you moving? Ah, that was explained by senior Heerin.

A rustling sound was heard over the cell phone for a moment, and then the voice changed.

-Hello, Sihyuk Lee? Are you all right? Body?

“… All right are you okay?”

-That’s fine.

Did he receive comfort from Suisei and Baeksoso?

Unlike when I panicked at Idea, I felt a little bit of composure in my voice.

“So, where are you going now?”

-It’s Cheongmyeong.

“Qingming?”

-I checked at the water management facility, but there was no trace of foreign matter mixed in the water supply.

“… It means there was no booster.”

-Uh, that’s right.

There was no booster, ok.

Something was strange.

Even if it is assumed that oral inhalation is effective, it would have to be mixed into the water supply and poured in huge amounts to have any significant effect.

But considering the amount of boosters that were scattered all over Academia yesterday and today, there was no way the Zetas family could have enough left to mix with the water supply.

We destroyed the booster factory a long time ago.

“Then what about water management facilities?”

-I mean, Lee Si-hyeok. Do you know how the water supply system in Academia is structured?

Heard it for the first time.

I didn’t go into such detailed settings in the game.

“I don’t know.”

-It is possible to completely stop the supply of water to a specific block by dividing the area in detail in block units. Normally, it seems to be used to the extent that it is operated from the center for easy construction.

“… What does that matter now?”

-The water supply to Qingmyeong and its surrounding nine blocks is all cut off.

The water supply was cut off.

The moment I heard that sound, something flashed in my head.

An artificial moat that surrounds Cheongmyeong High School.

In the original booster battle, the place where Ross was finally going.

Clearance students who were addicted to boosters and destroyed the campus in half.

That’s why I told Ju Ji-young that Cheongmyeong was suspicious.

-Lee Si-hyeok? Why are you suddenly not saying anything?

“… I’ll hang up. See you in Qingming.”

– What? Sihyuk Lee. Hey wait-

I hung up the call and put the phone back in my pocket.

The sound of sirens still comes from all directions.

Students around are watching the passing ambulance with anxious eyes.

All of this happened at the hands of Los Zetas.

In my mind, I recall the story analysis I saw in the Legend of Academia gallery.

There, it was described about the ultimate goal of Los Zetas.

‘The collapse of the Cheongmyung Foundation. And to inform the world of the truth about the Lost Child incident 14 years ago.’

I gritted my teeth and ran with all my might towards Cheongmyeong High School.

The call ended unilaterally.

Chaehee Rin stared blankly at her phone, then frowned and threw it at Baek Soso.

“… Come on, take it.”

“Wait a minute! Don’t throw it!”

However, the mobile phone has already left Chae Hee-rin’s hand and is flying in the air.

Baek Suso threw himself down and managed to grab his cell phone.

“It’s dangerous!”

“… If it breaks, you can buy a new one.”

Baek So-so was moved by Chae-hee-rin’s blunt attitude and was about to say something, but she managed to hold back her anger and shut her mouth.

Chae Hee-rin’s condition is not very good.

Since he hasn’t fully recovered from the shock yet, he needs to be understood with such a sharp attitude.

Of the three of us now, the only one who maintains his composure is himself.

So she has to somehow take care of the other two herself.

Thinking so, Baek So-so glanced at Suisei, who took the lead.

The usual lithe smile is nowhere to be found.

She has the illusion that the temperature around her has dropped by several degrees.

I’ve been in that state ever since I saw my colleagues from the Special Division collapsed in a mess at the water management facility.

‘Because I’m famous for having a special relationship with Chloe-senpai. Still… This atmosphere is too unbearable.’

Fire and ice, a white cow caught between two low-pressure powers.

In a heavy atmosphere where it was difficult to breathe, the party continued to move.

After a while, the whole view of Cheongmyeong High School began to appear.

“… It’s really dry.”

Chaehee-rin muttered as she looked at the moat surrounding her campus.

“It is much deeper than I thought. Is this usually full?”

“Uh. I also saw the water drain for the first time today.”

While saying that, Chae Hee-rin glanced at the bottom of the moat.

As with other schools, there are many ghost stories in Cheongmyeong.

One of them. A ghost story that says, “There are countless corpses at the bottom of the moat.”

But after all, a ghost story is just a ghost story.

There are no human-like figures, instead it is full of water-soaked mud.

Chae Hee-rin, who lost her interest and looked away, noticed something strange.

“… What is that?”

“What is it, senior?”

“There you are. Something like wire mesh.”

The moment Baek So-so sticks her head out in the direction Chae-hee-rin is pointing.

“Wow, wow.”

In an instant, the ground shook so much that it was difficult to balance.

“… What just happened?”

She narrowly escaped collapsing, and Chaehee-rin opened her mouth with her embarrassed eyes.

Baek Soso also shook her head with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t know either. Earthquake… would not be.”

Earthquakes do not occur on the artificial island of Academia.

Then the vibration that just occurred is-

“It is a vibration that occurred on campus.”

Suisei, who had been silent for a long time, spoke in a calm voice.

“… Hurry up.”

Inside me, something not good is happening.

Such an intuition crossed Suisei’s mind.
