Academy Assassination Genius chapter 8

I took the entrance exam two weeks ago.

This meant that it had been two weeks since I fell into this world.

The monotonous life of ‘training, eating, training, sleeping’… It’s a monotonous life for horses, and almost all of the time is devoted to training.

‘Still, the results of training aren’t bad.’

The state is the same as the first gate that can only open the first gate of the 10 gates of the Siwangmun, but through the secret level, it was possible to learn a few useful skills.

All of them are difficult skills to use, but if you use them at the right timing, you will be able to buy time even against enemies with a higher rank than you.

“February is winter here too.”

Sun seen in 2 weeks.

The morning sun is warm.

It’s been a while since I’ve been out at this time.

If it was like usual, it would be time to heat up training for a long time by using the naturally recovered mana while sleeping.

The cold air that has settled during the night seeps into your lungs.

“Ha~”

Pure white breath.

Spring still seemed far away.

– On February 12, the game ‘Dream World Fantasia’ new expansion pack was released.

What I reached through the cold winter wind of February is a large shopping mall.

It’s a place that will turn into mayhem in a few tens of minutes, but there’s no problem.

“There are so many people.”

The reason I came here was simple.

to meet the protagonist.

I got on the escalator and came up to the 8th floor, where toy and game stores are located.

I was interested in the game in the world of the novel I didn’t know, but more important than that is finding the main character.

“I’m sure you’re standing in line somewhere to buy a game with me from dawn, right?”

The main character of the novel ‘Academy Crazy Talent Transfer Student’.

The Dark Demon King Kang Min-hyeok.

I want to know what the main character’s nickname is, but somehow the main character’s nickname has become like that.

Looking at the description of the original, there was no other nickname that fit better than that.

Just because he is called the grandiose nickname of the Demon King does not mean that Kang Min-hyeok commits an extraordinary evil act.

… is not it?

Looking back at Kang Min-hyeok’s activities step by step, he wasn’t a good enough guy to be called a good man.

‘Is it black or white, good or evil? If I had to pick one up… It might have been closer to black than white, more evil than good.’

He is infinitely good to those he judges to be allies, but is infinitely stoic towards enemies who oppose him.

The main character with the personality of a cider pass without the sweet potato that is common in web novels.

The problem is that he did not choose any means and methods in the process, and did not hesitate to get his hands dirty if necessary.

When I was a reader, I felt that he was just a cool personality, but if I evaluate it again as a human being… .

‘This is a completely crazy psychopath.’

Even a rough calculation of the number of enemies defeated by the protagonist alone would exceed thousands.

If you count the indirect ones… enough to build a country.

A slayer and a hero at the same time, Kang Min-hyeok will become such a being in the not-too-distant future, but now he is just an ordinary student who likes to play games.

malevolent malevolent-

I watched the people walking in front of the game store.

Elves with pointy, long ears, and beastmen with animal ears standing upright on top of their heads.

It was a sight that made me realize that in this world, humans are only one of the races.

How long to wait like that.

“found.”

I saw a man with a familiar face coming out of the game store.

Exactly the same appearance as seen on the cover illustration of the novel.

A white hoodie, jeans, and sneakers with black shaggy hair.

What he is holding in his hand is a package of a new game that Minhyuk Kang has been waiting for since early in the morning.

I slowly approached Minhyuk Kang.

– Signs fade.

– Presence is blurred.

Although it is most effective to use it in pitch-black darkness.

Even if ‘Poem of the Raven’ is not activated artificially, it shows not too bad performance.

I feel that no one cares about me.

I didn’t know it would be checked in this way.

“I’m lucky, I’m the last one. If I was a little late, I would have walked in vain.”

Kang Min-hyuk’s monologue that came out as a line in the prologue.

It was his line right before the department store turned into a mess.

“… … .”

In that short time following Kang Min-hyuk, all sorts of thoughts popped up in my head and crashed.

Even when I first went home, ‘Let’s just see the main character’s face.’ I left the house with a light heart.

However, somewhere in my heart, this thought also existed.

-What will happen if I kill Kang Min-hyeok here, before he became the main character, who has not yet had any chance?

In front of my eyes is Kang Min-hyeok, who is unaware of anything and is only interested in the new game he just bought.

He couldn’t break mountains with one punch, and couldn’t move hundreds of meters in one step.

‘Kang Min-hyeok, who is not the main character yet.’

As I was chasing that figure from behind, the thought of ‘Wouldn’t it be easy to kill with bare hands now?’ began to fill my head without realizing it.

With every step you take, that thought swells.

Two steps, three steps.

I continued to follow Kang Min-hyuk’s back.

At the same time, I realized that the thoughts that had begun to swell had grown out of control.

‘There’s only now.’

First and last chance.

A few months later, Kang Min-hyeok becomes incredibly strong.

I now have overwhelming power enough to defeat me with a single gesture.

‘Of course I’m not just sucking my fingers… .’

No matter how you think about it, the simplest thing is to kill Kang Min-hyuk in front of you, who has no power.

You don’t have to take the easy road and go back a long way.

If it’s difficult to kill a strong protagonist, just kill him before he gets stronger.

“after… .”

something to do someday.

It just advances the timing a little.

I have a reason to return to the original world.

‘I must go back. It can’t be helped.’

With the intention of breaking his neck and killing him at once, he stretched out his hands toward the main character’s neck.

Just before his outstretched hand touches the back of the main character, Kang Min-hyuk’s head.

Suddenly, my hand stopped.

‘what? Why are your hands?’

It wasn’t because I was suppressed by guilt.

As if this body is not mine… It’s not originally my body, but anyway.

Regardless of my will, my body does not move.

“warning!! Lack of probability!!!”

“warning!! Lack of probability!!!”

“Current behavior cannot be tolerated due to lack of probability.”

A red warning sign appeared in front of my eyes.

It’s as if my behavior is unacceptable. The red window flickered in front of my eyes, and at the same time I lost control of this body.

A hand that moves against my will.

The hand that had been stretched out to break Kang Min-hyuk’s neck went back into his pocket.

When the hand that reached out to the main character was retrieved, the red spear that was blocking my vision also disappeared.

‘Lack of probability?’

I tried again without giving up.

Killing people doesn’t require much preparation.

If it were me now, it would be possible to tear apart dozens of ordinary people with my bare hands.

However, it is possible to kill them a little easier if you use a weapon.

well-

I took out a sharp blade, a dagger, hidden in my sleeve just in case.

You don’t need great skill to aim for the neck and swing.

A dagger with a blade slightly longer than a knuckle could rip the throat of an ignorant Kang Min-hyeok.

He swung the dagger he held in reverse at once.

“warning!! Lack of probability!!!』

“warning!! Lack of probability!!!』

『Current behavior cannot be tolerated due to lack of probability.』

A red warning window popped up as well.

Right before it touched the main character’s body, the hand he swung stopped once again.

The stiff hand held the dagger back in the pocket of the wrist.

And the moment I lowered my hand, the initiative of my body returned to me.

However, one step.

The back of the main character, who is within reach if you stretch out your hand, feels infinitely far away.

‘Is it like that after all?’

The word ‘probability’ that the writer was obsessed with.

The end of the story only I know.

Right up until the crappy ending where the rice cake wasn’t solved properly, it seemed like I was saying that I couldn’t kill the main character.

It is a bonus that I have to fill in the necessary probability in between.

‘It’s getting difficult.’

I can see a short road in front of my eyes, but is this the feeling of having to go back a long way?

Instead, there was one thing I realized for sure.

-Now ‘I’ can’t kill the main character.

There is income just by confirming that.

‘Today, I came to see the main character’s face in the first place.’

I had no intention of killing.

At least until I met the main character here in person.

The best situation here was to kill the main character and return to the original world, but this has already failed.

At the same time, the worst thing I thought of was that even after killing the main character, I couldn’t return to the original world.

‘I can’t go back even if I kill Kang Min-hyeok here, so I have to deal with all those powerful enemies without the main character, so I’ve avoided the worst situation.’

It’s simple what I have to do since I can’t kill the main character right away.

As originally planned, I first defeat the enemies who will give the protagonist experience points, and solve the case first to make the protagonist weak.

In addition, he intercepts the main character’s talent and becomes stronger.

In the near but distant future, until the writer can satisfy the probabilities he wants to kill the main character.

“… wait.”

I finally escaped from behind the main character and disappeared into the crowd.

* * *

-… wait.

Suddenly, Kang Minhyuk seemed to hear someone’s voice behind him saying that.

“Did I hear you wrong?”

When he looked back to see who had called him, there was no one behind him.

Kang Min-hyuk, thinking that he had overheard someone talking to himself, went back to the bathroom.

“Ah, I will live.”

After coming out of the bathroom, Kang Min-hyuk’s steps were light.

Puppet Game that I bought after waiting for it since dawn.

Luckily, he bought the last of the prepared stock.

Kang Min-hyeok’s mind was filled with the thought of going home and playing the game.

“uh… ?”

That is, until I lost my shopping bag containing the game’s limited package due to a staggering and sudden shaking of the building.

“My game… !”

There was the sound of things falling over in the showcase.

The lights in the department store flicker, and the escalators come to a halt.

It wasn’t just Kang Min-hyeok who felt the shaking.

“what?”

“Is it an earthquake?”

Among them, it was not uncommon to even sit down on the floor.

They were the first to feel the change.

“what… ?”

Minhyuk Kang realized that the texture of the floor had changed.

Hard marble floors, soft grass.

Moss grew on the shelf where things fell, and dust piled up on the escalator.

“This is a dungeon… ?!”

A phenomenon caused by a collision between worlds where parts of other worlds are overlaid.

One of the worst disasters among world conflicts is dungeon conversion.

If only the environment had been overlaid, the dungeon conversion would not have been called the worst natural disaster.

It is not only the environment of another world that is overlaid, but also the creatures that live and breathe on it.

Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

People’s bodies shrank at the rough sound of the beast, which people could not follow.

At the same time, a monster with a huge body that can easily exceed 2 meters.

A man-eating wolf with thick fangs and sharp claws, War Wolf appeared.

“Whoa, whoa wolf… !”

“Run away!”

“Aww!!”

A department store that became a mess.

Kang Min-hyeok also moved to run away from the monster that suddenly appeared.

‘right. game.’

Minhyuk Kang didn’t forget the game he dropped, but that was his biggest mistake.

Kreurreung-

War Wolf swung his paw at Minhyuk Kang.

It was an extremely natural movement to immobilize struggling prey.

“Ugh!!”

Kang Min-hyeok involuntarily put his arms forward, and the Werewolf’s paws tore the paper bag he was holding.

A game package with a metallic cold texture emerges from a torn paper envelope.

The game package inside the paper bag is thin but made of metal.

‘I live!’

The Warwolf’s sharp claws succeeded in blocking, but the impact of the attack itself could not be killed.

Kang Min-hyuk’s body couldn’t overcome the shock and flew away.

The moment he opened his tightly closed eyes, Minhyuk Kang belatedly realized that he was floating in the air.

“uh?”
