90 – Episode 17. Cheongmyeong High School.

Seeds.

Ross remembered his past.

Shortly after meeting Astray, Ross asked her what her seed was.

‘It’s a fun thing. To the extent that we, you humans, turn on the light in your eyes and try to find it.”

Astray only gave back such an ambiguous answer.

Then could Cheonghwan Baek provide other information to himself?

Ross opened his mouth slowly with a pained expression on his face.

“… Seed… Say… ?”

“What are you arguing about, Ross? Didn’t he acquire such ridiculous abilities overnight? If you’ve been living up to this thanks to him, are you going to say you don’t know anything now?”

Baek Cheong-hwan chuckled and then glanced back.

Observing his gaze, the staff immediately rushed over and surrounded Ross.

‘Well, no matter how great a skill you have. If you go inside the facility, it’s out of my control.’

It is not groundless confidence.

In fact, the Cheongmyung Foundation was confining a test subject using another ‘seed’ under this correction.

Even though it’s a test subject as dangerous as Ross, it has been managed without any problems so far.

Of course, there was almost an unfortunate incident that would make all of that meaningless today.

Baek Chung-hwan glared at Ross, the culprit of today’s situation, for a moment, then nodded slowly with a friendly smile.

“Yes, Ross. Thanks to you, a lot has happened in the past… , I will forgive you as of today.”

“…..What?”

“Forgive me, Ross. Anyway, in the end, didn’t you come back to my arms on your own feet? I am an understanding educator and researcher, and I can fully understand and tolerate deviations of this magnitude.”

A tone as if admonishing a student.

Is Baek Cheong-hwan’s self-indulgent logic a leap unique to fanaticism, or is it a habit of self-justification that old people who have aged wrongly have.

Probably both.

While Ross was at a loss for words for a moment, Cheongmyeong staff came and surrounded Ross.

There are no heavily armed personnel in sight. Speaking of armament, there are only a few pistols for self-defense.

Ross didn’t take any action until the cool feel of his syringe needle touched the nape of his neck.

“Injection completed.”

It is an anesthetic with a concentration that makes a huge beast fall asleep instantly.

If used on a human, there was a high possibility of losing his life, but Baek Chung-hwan did not care much about that fact.

What mattered most was the ‘seed’ that would remain in Ross’ body, and whether or not the vessel containing the seed was alive or dead was a matter of little concern to him.

“Then get some sleep first, Ross. If you’re lucky, see you next time.”

Ross’s muscles lose their tension and his body drops to the floor.

Only after confirming regular, thin breathing, the staff let out a deep sigh as if their tension had eased.

“How many witnesses?”

“Not too many, sir. It was fortunate that it was the day of the bazaar.”

“Close your mouth properly. It doesn’t matter if you’re a B-level or lower student, you can use a little rough method.”

Baek Chung-hwan gave some instructions and moved with his cane.

It was only after the chairman of the Cheongmyung Foundation spread some distance that the staff slowly opened their mouths and started talking.

“By the way, how do I move this guy?”

“You should bring a wheelbarrow. What kind of person is like a bear?”

“Yes, it is almost like a beast.”

A man who seemed to be the senior among the employees who had heard such nonsensical words opened his mouth with a frown.

“Chairman, you haven’t gone far yet. Let’s just stop talking about it and end it quickly.”

-Now.

The words

Could not be continued to the end.

Because Ross’s thick hand grabbed the man’s neck and bent him to the side.

“The anesthesia has worn off?”

“Shoot first!”

The bewildered employees put their hands on the pistols at their waists, but Ross acted faster than that.

Every time Ross moved like a beast, the staff fell in an instant at his hand.

Baek Cheong-hwan’s eyes widened as he watched the bloody commotion from a little distance away.

‘… How?’

Even with anesthesia, the jamming device for those with great abilities is still in operation.

Even the guy in the basement couldn’t resist the jamming at all.

‘Could it be that it was just an act?’

A chilly cold sweat began to flow on Baek Cheong-hwan’s back as he watched the staff who were guarding his side hurriedly go to support.

Even owners of the same seed may have overlooked the possibility that there may be differences between individuals.

Perhaps it would have been impossible to stop that man named Ross with this jamming device from the beginning.

Of course, Baek Cheong-hwan’s guess was far from the truth.

The jamming device created by the talents of the Blue Myeong Foundation was working properly on Ross as well.

However, the application of Ross’ ability was forcibly ignoring its effect.

Roth’s ability is mind manipulation.

The target of the manipulation is mostly other people, but it is not impossible to interfere with oneself.

No matter how much Ross is a mercenary who has gone through every battle, it is impossible to win in every battle.

So since Ross was able to control his powers, he has been using self-hypnosis in most battles.

Involuntary limiters that the body instinctively engages to prevent excessive load.

A mental manipulation that forcibly releases that limiter and makes it possible to move beyond a human.

Of course, this kind of self-hypnosis is not an all-powerful thing that makes ‘impossible things’ possible.

Only so that Ross himself can perform ‘possible things’ more skillfully.

It won’t make much of a difference if you apply this mental manipulation to an ordinary person.

However, the story is a little different in the case of Ross, who is the party to the ability.

A buff called ‘Self-hypnosis’ that Ross always uses on himself in Legend of Academy.

Because it is an order that the person himself gave with his own will, unlike when forcibly manipulating the minds of others, the cost consumption is low and the effect is great.

In addition, he has a natural combat sense that has survived numerous battlefields since he was a child, and a body like steel that does not rust at all even at the age of 40.

If such a loss were to cancel the limiter, that physical ability itself would be no different from that of an A-class person.

“Huh!”

Ross, who was tidying up the surroundings, took a short breath and hit the floor with all his strength.

Then the jamming device that had been shaking the ground for a long time soon stopped working.

With his bloody fists tightly clenched, Ross slowly began to approach Baek Cheong-hwan, whose legs were shaking.

“Forgiveness means, Baek Chung-hwan.”

“Go… Don’t come any closer!”

Baek Cheong-hwan screamed and pulled a pistol from his chest and pulled the trigger.

Bang Bang Bang!

Since there was no silencer, gunshots rang out everywhere.

However, the trajectory of the terrified Baek Cheong-hwan’s muzzle is too simple.

Ross dodged all the bullets fired by Baek Cheong-hwan just by moving his body slightly.

Baek Chung-hwan dropped his gun while trying to reload with his trembling hands.

Cheonghwan Baek crawled on the floor and tried to give him the gun again, but Ross was quick to reach him.

“Not the kind of thing you would put your mouth on.”

“Big… Big Oops… “

Ross grabbed Baek Cheong-hwan by the scruff of his neck and lifted him into the air.

Even though he is the owner of the Blue Myeong Foundation, his body is only that of a weak old man.

He struggled with all his might, but he couldn’t escape Ross’s bearish grip.

“This is the end.”

Is this really the end?

Ignoring the thoughts running through his mind, Ross slowly tightened his hand.

Like a sick chicken, Baek Chung-hwan’s neck was just about to break and go out-.

“One Island-“

A chill passed over Ross’s back.

“- Shirayuki!”

Ross took a few steps back, staggering in shock.

Cold frost clung to the wound on his arm.

Baek Cheong-hwan, who barely survived his death, is sprawled on the floor and gasping for breath.

A tall student stands in the way between Cheonghwan Baek and Los Zetas.

“Are you Los Zetas?”

The calmly sunken eyes.

Straggling straight black hair.

What I held in my hand was a black sword.

“Yes.”

“Do you have any excuses for the atrocities you have committed?”

At that question, Ross involuntarily let out a laugh.

From noble mtl dot com

Ross in the current situation is nothing but a terrorist no matter who sees it.

But he dared to give me a chance to make excuses.

People are so nice.

“… What does that smile mean?”

“No, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Ross said that and glanced around.

A total of three enemies, including the swordsman in front of you, Kasuga Suisei.

One of the girls, who was the furthest away, was already dating Ross.

Probably, he had the ability to handle flames.

“Chairman. Get out of your seat first. We will pay the interest.”

“Go… Thank you! I will definitely repay this favor!”

Baek Cheong-hwan grabbed his cane and hurriedly moved.

Ross looked at the ugly scene, then moved his gaze to the girl in front of him.

The eyes are full of confidence.

A human with eyes like that doesn’t bend his will.

There is not enough time to explain.

There is no reason to persuade him.

There is no such thing as good or evil in this world.

However, only interests exist.

Ross is well aware of that fact.

So instead of opening your mouth again-

“Then let’s begin.”

I clenched my bloodied hand tightly.
