Meanwhile, Beatrix…“Park Seong-jin! How long do I have to be like this?”
“Hide well. Your turn will come.”
“It’s frustrating here!”
Unlike Chun Hyeon-woo, Katarina, and Baek Sung-yeon, who moved together, Beatrix was hiding in the corner of the internal ward power room from the beginning.
Beatrix was delighted that he became the Joker of this plan, but in reality, it was close to Park Seong-jin’s decision to exclude Beatrix from the plan for fear that Beatrix’s frivolous attitude would make things wrong.
“Come out when it gets noisy outside. got it? Be still.”
“Then are you going to buy me a pizza?”
“Yes, yes. Don’t buy it.”
Beatrix gladly cut off communication.

Katarina Belyaeva is an uninhabited person, and she is a person with a very good sense of humor.
Although invisible, she could clearly feel the popularity.
“Stop. I can’t get any further.”
Katarina said with a sense of intimidation.
Then, the space shook, and a gentleman in a suit appeared from the empty space.
“How the hell did you know we were going to attack?”
“That’s out of your business. Get out of Trinity Academy right now.”
“I can’t. I got paid.”
The appearance of the suit gentleman began to become transparent again.
Katarina attacked at once, as if she would not give him a chance, but it had long since disappeared from the spot.
“Katrina!”
“Baek Seong-yeon?”
“Listen. I’ll give you the first ability, soul bond. Then you can recognize me even if I wear ghost shoes. First, I’ll put on my ghost boots and find him. And if you succeed in finding him, I’ll give you a signal and attack me. got it?”
“Attack you?”
“I am in a ghost state, so I am not physically attacked. You do not have to worry.”
“But how did you find him?”
“Park Seong-jin told me! One o’clock is urgent, so please follow me first.”
“… i get it.”
Baek Seong-yeon started to wander around after using solidarity and ghost shoes.
Baek Seong-yeon sensed Igi (??).
Before long, he could feel the sensation of passing something through something.
Even though it is an imaginary space where nothing seems to exist.
‘It’s here! Katarina! now!’
“I get it!”
Katarina activates her first ability, Super Kill, and raises her fists.
“Cuckoo!”
The sensation of breaking bones and churning flesh is transmitted to Katarina’s body through the back of her hands.
It was a blow that would have killed him instantly if he wasn’t a very strong guy.
No, it should have been.
Indeed it was.
Because the villain’s body with a large hole in his chest appeared and fell.
Suddenly, the corpse was blown away like dust, and the man appeared in good shape, wiping his shoulders and sleeves.
“What happened! Baek Sung-yeon!”
“I don’t know either! It must be a different kind of thinking!”
“I was trying to look at them because they were little kids, but… Class A… No, is it an S class? It would be impossible to touch it.”
The villain used camouflage again and disappeared in front of Katarina and Baek Seong-yeon.
Anxiety rises
As long as the serial card is implanted in the body, the continuous use of thought power is impossible.
There is some kind of limit hanging.
This guy can use his imaginative power to his heart’s content without such restrictions.
Of course, as there is a limit to thinking power, it cannot be used indefinitely.
However, under the premise that the comparison target is a cadet of Trinity Academy that has a serial card ported, it can be safely said that it is unlimited.
Will they be able to win even in a situation where there is a big limitation of serial cards?
Doubts and anxiety don’t help at all in this situation, but they can’t stop them from coming.
“Baek Seong-yeon, I believe in you. I’ll do it for you, so just focus on finding him.”
“However… You don’t even have the ability to specialize in defense!”
“I am confident that I will be better than anyone in the S-Class, at least in terms of fighting. It will be better than you endure.”
“still… ”
“There is no time! hurry! Just focus on finding him!”
That must have been the right decision.
Baek Seong-yeon, who knew that it was a hundred times better to follow the orders of Katarina, who had clear subjectivity, than to entrust judgment to herself, who was weak in self-assertion, did not insist any more.
Baek Seong-yeon activated the ghost again, and started to walk sideways on this small battlefield.
This time, it seems that he also decided to approach it very carefully, and he hadn’t appeared for quite some time.
An ugly air current that stings your skin circulates in front of the power plant.
It would be common for criminals to run away, but Katarina and Baek Seong-yeon did not back down even in this unfriendly atmosphere, as if they were not in vain while winning the name of Trinity Academy’s S-Class.
The first to break the silence was Katarina.
The clenched fist moves forward.
Once again, Katarina felt the sensation of crushing something.
A fairly heavy and hard thing, it looked like a skull.
‘It must not be this time.’
Katarina’s faith did not last long.
The villain’s corpse, which appeared with a shattered head, disappeared in the same way as before.
However, one thing was certain.
The fact that the shogun, a thought force that cannot be activated on the same target, is activated twice means that it is not the creature that Katarina smashed, but an clone or something similar.
You might think of it as an illusion, but it was too vivid for that.
James of the same S-class also uses the same magic-based thinking power, but such a sophisticated level of magic is still unreasonable.
If this is really an illusion, then the statement that Park Seong-jin announced in advance that it was C-level would be a lie.
‘It can’t be. I believe in Park Seong-jin.’
Due to Katarina’s personality, considering even the worst, it shouldn’t have been possible to rule out the worst, but now that the only answer left is to give up on assuming the worst, she decided to give up her stubbornness.
Concentrating on the reality we are facing right now was the best thing to do.
…
Did I say that anything that goes wrong is always wrong?
Katarina’s promise was overshadowed, and her side’s disappointment was deep.
Her body, which used to be as white as white jade, is now covered in blood from the cut (?), and anyone can tell by looking at her only red appearance.
Perhaps there was a nerve at the puncture site, some parts of the body did not move well.
Even though she was not such a helpless person, the reason she suffered so much was because of Baek Seong-yeon.
When Baek Seong-yeon reached a situation where it was difficult to write a ghost painting, the villain tenaciously aimed at Baek Seong-yeon, who had no fighting ability, as if she had been waiting only for this time, and Katarina and Baek Seong-yeon, who lost their ability to detect camouflage, recognized him solely with Katarina’s senses. I had to.
Her sixth sense, trained as a warrior, is said to be great, but it did not go beyond that of a human being.
Naturally, the wounds will only pile up one by one.
In fact, because it was Katarina, I was able to get my mind right up until now, but if it was someone else, it wouldn’t be strange if I had lost my mind earlier.
Although Baek Sung-yeon was continuously supplying vitality with her first ability and solidarity, it was only a temporary measure to prevent death.
It was because she was wounded much more severely than Chun Hyeon-woo, who was just carried away.
“It’s been a great year. I’m going to survive this much. Still, the mourning ends here. Make both of them fine. If it was the same, I would have made it impossible to retrieve the corpse, but I can’t do it because of the length of time it takes. You are lucky to know that your parents can come to the funeral.”
The moment he slowly approaches…
“The main character appears!”
The door to the generator room swung open.
The four of them rolled their eyes.
As if how the hell did this happen, everyone couldn’t keep their mouths shut and only rolled their eyes.
Fortunately, Beatrix was the quickest to grasp the situation.
She immediately activated her ideological powers, ‘Blooming Military Blue’, and bound the villain’s feet.
Then he created a well-forged spear and cut the villain’s body vertically.
The severed body became dust again and scattered.
Beatrix, who first saw the gnome’s ideological power, showed a look of bewilderment.
“Baek Seong-yeon, I ask Beatrix’s counselor. I… let me rest a little It’s because I’m dizzy.”
“Wake! Katarina!”
“I don’t have time to care about me. The more you care about me, the longer it takes to kill him. My treatment time will be delayed that much. If you really want to do it for me, help Beatrix and defeat him… .”
Katarina slowly closed her eyes.
Baek Sung-yeon didn’t even know that her breath was fading.
So Baek Sung-yeon quickly wiped away the tears and told Beatrix.
“Listen. I don’t have time for a long explanation. Now I can only use Ghost Shoes once. That means you only have one chance to defeat that bastard. I’ll give you a signal with Soul Binding, so if you give me the signal, I’ll attack you right away.”
“What do you mean… ”
As soon as Baek Sung-yeon finished her words, she put on her ghost shoes and started rushing.
Luckily, it didn’t take long to find him this time around.
‘Throw that spear in the direction where you can feel my energy! hurry!’
“OK! Leave it to me!”
Her spear cuts through the air.
It didn’t take long for the spear to stick to something.
‘This will also be an alter ego. Even if he used his thought power to create clones, he didn’t appear from a distance. You have to turn off the ghosts immediately, and do direct damage before he spreads the distance!’
Baek Sung-yeon immediately removed the ghost shoes, pulled out the spear stuck in the powder, and swept the surroundings.
Baek Sung-yeon’s judgment was absolutely correct.
In the empty space, fresh blood gushed out.
Blood from the wounds made it meaningless for the villain to hide in camouflage, and Beatrix quickly understood the situation perfectly.
With the blooming teal, sharp wedges were created from the floor, digging into the bloody space.
The appearance of the invisible gentleman in a suit became clear.
When the people run out, the ideological power is over.
“U.S… You did it!”
“I like it! We need to get Katarina to the emergency room ASAP!”
“Ah, yes!”
After the emergency measures for Katarina and Chun Hyeon-woo were over, they reported their respective situations through channels.
I knew, without saying, that everyone would be acting like a beggar.
What everyone was more concerned about was that Park Seong-jin, who actually led the situation, did not appear.
