The Academy’s Time Stop Player

Of course, Ha-jun doesn’t remember the faces of all the villains in the game, but at least the face of the girl next to him was unfamiliar to Ha-jun.

Still, there is one thing you can tell from the system’s response that this woman is a villain. This guy was a puppeteer’s puppet.

“Are you a puppeteer?”

“… … ?!”

A girl trembling at that moment, no, a puppeteer.

Soon after, he lowered his head slowly and immersed himself in contemplation, followed by a suffocating silence. Ha-jun laughed at the puppeteer’s appearance.

There was no need for an answer.

Judging from his reaction, it was clear that he was a puppeteer.

And Ha-joon glared at him and twisted his face violently.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

Naturally, the first criminal who broke my house came without fear, so the action to be taken was not decided. Ha-jun’s hand naturally turned towards his pocket and it was time to pull out the hammer.

“Irregular.”

“… … ?”

That was then.

The guy suddenly opened his mouth.

With those words, the puppeteer slowly raised his head and looked at Hajun.

He looked at Hajun with a serious expression and slowly opened his mouth.

“I’m here to make an offer.”

* * *

“… … .”

At those words, Ha-jun looked at the puppeteer with an expressionless face without saying anything, and a heavy silence followed.

The boy called “Irregular” in the world didn’t overpower him by releasing magical powers from his body, he just looked at the Jigsi Puppeteer.

The puppeteer felt a suffocating fear for just one action.

The oppression felt in existence itself.

The puppeteer feels an unknown intimidation and fear because he knows better than anyone else that this ordinary-looking boy is a monster with different tracks.

“It has nothing to do with the union. It is a proposal of my own accord.”

“… … .”

Hearing those words, Irregular once again shut his mouth and started thinking about something.

He couldn’t tell what he was thinking in that expression, so the puppeteer waited impatiently for the boy’s next words.

And on the other hand, Ha Joon-eun.

‘Well… … .’

At first, I was thinking.

The reason was simple.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

Now that he came boldly in front of me, it was clear that that body was also a doll.

Of course, it was possible to break the doll at any time. The problem will be next.

I didn’t think that the dolls that came to this festival were the only ones in front of me.

‘It’s a suggestion… … .’

So Ha-jun was a little interested in his suggestion.

At first, I was just thinking of destroying the doll, but suddenly I was curious because it was a proposal that had nothing to do with the Union. Moreover, looking at his expression, I wonder what kind of proposal he will make.

Anyway, as Ha-jun, I decided to listen to it for now, as it is enough even if I stop listening to it or not.

Hajun asked.

“What suggestion?”

The puppeteer looks at Ha-jun with a nervous expression at those words.

Before telling the details of the proposal, the puppeteer had no choice but to carefully ask Ha-jun a question.

“Before that, one thing… … , do you know me?”

It was Hajun who smirked at those words.

Because then I think I can understand why he’s afraid to come over and offer suggestions.

Hajun said.

“Did you come today according to your gender?”

“… … ?!”

At those words, his expression changed to a color of thought in an instant.

This gave the puppeteer certainty.

That the boy in front of him knew his true identity.

A boy who overcame Carton.

If the boy knew his face, it was clear that it would only be a matter of time before his identity was discovered.

“Ugh… … .”

She frowned and took a few deep breaths.

He looked at Hajun again with a nervous face and slowly opened his mouth.

“Did you know that a villain infiltrated this festival?”

At that moment, Ha-jun let out an absurd laugh without realizing it.

It was because the words he said were a little out of line with Hajun’s expectations.

To announce that fact meant that he was going to betray the Alliance in the end.

Of course, Ha-jun knew it too, but I pretended not to know and asked the puppeteer.

“Villain?”

“There are four people including me. One is from the Alliance, the other two are from a new villain organization called the Altar.”

At that moment, Ha-jun understood the proposal he was making.

He was definitely planning to betray the Union.

Ha-jun shut his mouth again as if to talk more, and looked at the puppeteer.

And the puppeteer understood and began to speak.

“Terror Boom, a Class A villain belonging to the Alliance. I’ll let you know where he is. I don’t know the exact location of the rest of the altars, but I’ll try to find them using dolls. We will provide you with various information in the future. This is my proposal.”

“How do I trust you?”

“If I don’t, you will surely kill me.”

Hearing those words, Ha-jun was silent for a moment and pondered.

What he was trying to do was that he would eventually betray the Union and join me.

I didn’t think that information was false.

It was information that Hajun knew in the first place.

Of course, this information is unnecessary, but Ha-jun placed great significance on the puppeteer’s actions. The puppeteer betrayed the union and stuck with me.

And it was Hajun who seemed to know what he wanted without having to ask.

“Where is the terror boom?”

Ha-jun asked him one last time, just in case.

If even this tells the truth that Ha-joon knows… … .

“It is an arena where a fighting competition is held.”

It was Hajun who twisted one of his lips with satisfaction at those words.

* * *

The time is a little past noon.

Ha-jun was still enjoying the festival in his own way.

Of course, he wasn’t just enjoying the festival.

“How about Harna Ruel?”

“Yes. I found it.”

In the inner pocket of Ha-jun’s school uniform chest, there was a small doll sticking out his face and talking. The form as it appeared was a doll made by a puppeteer who was smaller than the girl she had seen before, for example, reduced to the size of a hamster.

“But, why are you watching her?”

“… … .”

Hajun didn’t answer that.

Actually, I accepted the offer, but I didn’t believe in the puppeteer yet.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

Nevertheless, the reason for accepting the offer was simple.

Its abilities are annoying when they are enemies, but when they are friendly, they are very useful in many ways.

“Anyway, keep an eye on him. We talk when suspicious people approach us.”

“Well, I see.”

A puppeteer who answers slightly shaky.

Well, for now, the puppeteer didn’t have to talk too much because he was going to do what he was told.

There will be no other way since you have already betrayed the Alliance.

“A more terrorist boom than that?”

A-class villain terror boom.

Its ability is annoying, so I thought I’d go find it before the Altar guys.

Just considering its ability to detonate anything it touches, you’d better grab it before you commit it.

“I know where he is hiding. He is probably waiting in the basement of the Colosseum.”

Hajun nodded at that, and then sighed softly with a tired face.

When I said the Colosseum, I thought of a fighting competition, and thinking about the competition gave me a headache. how will we do it? Hajun was worried.

Of course, it was not about ‘how do I win?’ but ‘how do I get out of the competition quickly?’ Of course, there was one way.

I just withdrew or lost as soon as I started.

‘under… … , I’ll have to go and think about it.’

The current time is 12:30 PM.

Whatever it is, I was thinking about going and thinking about it as the martial arts competition will start soon.

* * *

Time passed and it was 1:00 PM.

The first preliminary round of the martial arts competition to be held at the Rockia Academy has begun.

A large crowd gathered around the Colosseum-shaped arena, all paying attention to the name of one of the cadets participating in the competition.

“Is it true that Ha-Jun Kim is coming?”

“I think it’s true if you see your name written on the signboard over there?”

From reporters from various media outlets to guild heads of famous guilds and famous heroes in Korea.

They were all paying attention to one name.

Ha-Jun Kim, the senior student at the Rockia Academy.

A mysterious cadet surrounded by many rumors.

There were many rumors about the existence of the mysterious cadet.

From the rumor that he is the disciple of the great hero, the truth is that he is a superlative hero who is already old enough, or that he is a superman secretly raised by the association.

Of course, it was a rumor that was only fictional, but apart from it, people were starting to question whether or not this cadet was really attending the Lokia Academy, to a situation where they doubted it. Meanwhile, news of the boy’s participation in the martial arts competition called the tradition of the Rockia Academy was announced.

This is the reason why more floating populations flocked to the arena compared to last year.

The spectators gathered here were looking forward to it.

What kind of face is the main character of that great rumor?

Of course, some thought the rumors were overblown, but nonetheless, everyone was curious about the boy’s face.

And on the other hand.

“What do you think, senior?”

Said a man sitting in the audience.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing and this belong to huehue

Kim Seung-hwan, a superlative hero called a wingman in the world.

He looked at the match and asked, looking with curious eyes at the woman next to her, with her face covered with sunglasses, a hat and a mask.

And the woman next to the wingman, Jin Ah-han, the guild leader of the Mirrors Guild, one of Korea’s top heroes, only answered Kim Seung-hwan’s question with a smile and calmly.

“Well, our Hajun will win.”

“Wow… … , our Hajun. Come to think of it, have you ever met that boy? Do you really like it?”

“Because we solved the department store terrorist incident together. I am a little more curious than that.”

With those words, Jin Ah-han’s gaze turned to Dae Jin-pyo.

The name of the cadet who will fight Ha-jun in this first qualifying match.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing and this belong to huehue

Kim Soo-han, the senior first grader.

Although he is a cadet in the upper class, he was a cadet with a record of pushing Han Si-young back in middle school.

So Jin Ah-han was curious.

‘I’m curious.’

Jin Ah-han doesn’t think Ha-jun will lose, but on the contrary, he wondered how Ha-jun would win. At least, Kim Soo-han’s ability would be unfavorable to a superman who specializes only in force.

* * *

After about 10 minutes, the preliminaries began.

The first and second matches ended quickly.

Well, it was also a preliminary round, and since the cadets who played this match were Han Si-young and Liam Martell, it was understandable that it ended quickly.

When the third qualifying match started like that, the spectators looked at the stadium with anticipation.

-The third match is a matchup between Kim Ha-jun, the senior class cadet, and Kim Su-han, the current senior class cadet!

The third match was a match between Kim Ha-jun and Kim Su-han, as the moderator said.

Afterwards, a dark-haired boy with a robe appeared in the aisle on the right side of the stadium.

The staff in his hand clearly showed that he was a magician.

The impression itself was surprisingly beautiful, but it was Kim Su-han, the senior class leader, a boy who exuded a gloomy atmosphere due to the increased dark circles around his eyes.

And at the same time as Kim Soo-han appeared, a boy from the left aisle walked out to the stadium.

The fact that the boy was Kim Ha-joon was noticed by the entire audience. That look was very ugly.

The boy who looked like Ha-Jun Kim appeared at the stadium with his face covered with sunglasses and a mask.

“Is that Kim Ha-Jun?”

“Did you cover your face?”

Even as the crowd grew louder, the boy did not take off his mask and sunglasses.

Of course, Ha-jun had an idea too.

Would I be crazy to show my face in front of that huge crowd?

I haven’t been able to enjoy the festival properly yet, and it’s a vacation after that, so of course I have to cover my face.

For reference, the sunglasses and mask were taken from Liam.

Of course, I have no intention of returning it after the game is over.

Soon after, Instructor Lee Han, who was in charge of the match, approached between the two.

He looked at Ha-jun for a moment and opened his mouth with an absurd expression.

“Kim Ha-Jun. Are you going to play in that state?”

“It’s not against the rules.”

“… … .”

Those words are so… … , It’s true, but it was right, it was mean and absurd.

And the referee was absurd, but the spectators watching the game would be less than that.

Some people are dissatisfied with Ha-jun and keep taking them off! Show me your face! I was about to shout.

Of course, Ha-joon simply ignores it.

“under… … , what do you know Both players position!!”

With those words, Kim Soo-han and Ha-joon prepared for the match a little further away.

Instructor Lee Han raised his outstretched hand to the sky.

He lowered his straight hand down, signaling the start of the game.

“start!!”

Simultaneously with those words, Kim Soo-han began to implement the technique by waving his wand in the air.

A drink that exudes a dark purple ominous energy.

Soon after the ceremony, something like purple smoke of an ominous energy came out and formed a cloud, and it began to float above Kim Soo-han’s head.

It was the curse magic, which was Kim Soo-han’s special magic.

Afterwards, Kim Soo-han opened his mouth, glaring at Ha-jun.

“I’ve heard a lot from you, Kim Ha-jun. You’re stronger than that Han Si-young, right?”

With those words, Kim Soo-han smiles confidently while looking at Ha-joon.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing and this belong to huehue

Kim Soo-han remembered the past when he and Han Si-young were together, and prepared for the shortcomings of that time. The newly developed magic is this magic that has now appeared.

“Originally, I was going to write it to Han Si-young.”

With those words, Kim Soo-han stretched out his hand toward the cloud that appeared above his head.

“Even you will not be able to avoid this magic. Haap!!”

Soon after, at the same time as Kim Su-han’s cheer, numerous solid lines of various branches came out of the ominous cloud that appeared above Kim Su-han’s head and rushed towards Ha-jun.

The solid line stretched out in all directions, not even giving the slightest chance to escape.

Therefore, Kim Su-han thought that no matter how much Kim Ha-joon was, he would not be able to avoid the countless solid lines. And what will happen next?

Rather than avoiding the solid line, Kim Ha-jun received it with his whole body, and Kim Soo-han’s lips began to rise. Of course, it was because Ha-jun was sure of his victory the moment he received the solid lines with his whole body.

But it was then that things happened.

“aah!!! Whoops! Shut it off!!”

“… … ?”

Suddenly, Ha-jun fell to the floor and started screaming in pain.

The people who watched from the audience were also stunned at how loud the screams were in agony.

“Oh my gosh… … , how cursed are you?”

“her… … , it’s not normal curse magic if you suffer that much.”

And Kim Soo-han, who had actually manifested the curse magic, had a puzzled expression on his face.

what? The magic that I manifested is not a magic that inflicts pain, but a magic that weakens the power… … ?
