Possessed an Academy Security Guard chapter 102

102 – 102. Simultaneous Events (17)

All life is a series of regrets.

There is no one in the world who does not regret the past. All human beings make mistakes, and past mistakes will soon cause regret. Even those who say brightly that they are not dwelling on the past on the outside still harbor regrets in the back of their hearts when they open their hearts.

All human beings are like that.

And Ahn Soo-ho was also a human being, so he was regretting his mistakes.

The river sky rushed. Without showing even a handful of emotions on that face. He rushes like a doll that has lost Izzie. Looking at her like that, Ahn Suho thought.

I was complacent.

I was careless.

I was conceited.

I wasn’t careful.

And it was foolish.

When he said he was so complacent, he naturally meant his own actions a moment ago.

Being complacent, he judged that the battle would have ended, and, stricken with carelessness and arrogance, he acted out of proportion, and bought time for a new enemy to arrive due to his careless actions. And as a result, Kang Ha-neul, whom he had to protect, was brainwashed by the enemy and pointed at himself.

That’s why it was foolish.

That’s why I regretted it.

So, he felt ashamed and resentful of himself.

He himself couldn’t understand why he acted the way he did. I’m just being true to my feelings at the moment and mocking myself for making a foolish decision.

However, I had to put those self-help and regrets aside for a while. Now is the time to focus first on the enemy in front of you.

“…… Damn it.”

However, can the enemy in front of you be called an enemy?

-Spot!

With a sharp punch, Kang Ha-neul’s blade brushed An Su-ho’s cheek. The fierce onslaught that followed.

However, not even a single blow could reach Ahn Soo-ho. In terms of agility, Ahn Su-ho had a clear advantage over Kang Ha-neul. Even without activating Morning Star’s Breath.

However, it is limited to Kang Haneul in the basic avatar state.

-Paaah!

In an instant, Kang Ha-neul’s body was enveloped in bright light. Eventually, when the light went out, it was Kang Ha-neul with bobbed blue hair that appeared. One of her avatar presets, a battle-type avatar with the ability to ‘accelerate’.

-Pabababababat!

Kang Ha-neul’s series of attacks unfolded fiercely while waving a blue gown that looked like a patient’s uniform. Unlike before, his speed surpassed Ahn Soo-ho.

– Puck! f*ck! Puck!

“Keugh…… !”

Ahn Soo-ho reflexively tried to counterattack at the onslaught. However, right before the attack, the hand stopped, and after a momentary conflict, Ahn Su-ho chewed his lips carefully and exploded the smoke screen with all his might.

Ahn Soo-ho took advantage of the gap in the smoke screen to spread the distance and calmed down. A sharp pain began to spread from his side again.

However, Ahn Su-ho’s nerves were focused on a completely different place.

‘I’ve become stronger.’

The river sky has become stronger. I wasn’t talking about the Avatar’s ability. Because I had already seen the power of Avatar’s acceleration ability with my own eyes when I watched Kang Ha-neul’s ranking match.

Ahn Soo-ho’s idea was to say that Kang Ha-neul now is clearly stronger than Kang Ha-neul at the time of the ranking match, including his ability.

“…… Status window.”

-Titling!

—–

As expected by Ahn Su-ho, Kang Ha-neul’s abilities were improved in all areas. The slow starter’s ability limit was eased by the increase in her will power in her death-dealing battle with Wilhelm.

However, there was no way that Ahn Su-ho knew the inside story. She just guesses that just as she raised her abilities through training, Kang Ha-neul did as well.

-f*ck!

“Kuu!”

Ahn Soo-ho groaned at the blow to the abdomen. Right before the fist is retrieved, he manages to grab hold of Kang Ha-neul’s arm. Fortunately, Ahn Su-ho still had the upper hand in strength, so Kang Ha-neul could not easily shake off his hand.

“Heaven. Calm down. River sky!”

I called his name, but there was no answer. Kang Ha-neul struggled to escape from Ahn Su-ho’s clutches with an expressionless face.

“It’s no use. Her mind is completely locked. I won’t come back unless I kill you.”

Ahn Soo-ho sighed at Na Eun-joo’s cold words.

As the saying goes, once captured by Naeun-joo’s ability, he couldn’t solve it on his own. Of course, there were exceptions, as can be seen from the expression ‘something far away’. In the original work, Midwinter, who was attacked by Naeun-joo’s ability, escaped from mental manipulation on her own.

However, it was allowed because it was part of the dramatic development. It was a miracle that was possible because he had strong feelings for Ryu Tae-hyun, who was forced to fight by mental manipulation, along with his solid ego in the middle of winter.

If that miracle could happen between you and Kang Ha-neul. It was Ahn Soo-ho who believed only in that possibility and tried to wake Kang Ha-neul.

“Well, is it useless?”

Of course, a miracle couldn’t happen that easily.

-Flame!

Kang Ha-neul’s hair was dyed red, and flames rose from his grasped hands. Like her acceleration ability, it was one of her derivative abilities.

-Chiihii… ….

Ahn Suho stood back while blocking the heat with frost magic, and made a painful face. It wasn’t because of physical pain.

‘I have no choice but to fight in the end… ….’

In fact, there was a way to overcome this situation besides fighting Kang Ha-neul. It is to defeat Na Eun-joo, the person who manipulates Kang Ha-neul.

But it was never easy. Kang Ha-neul was facing her Ahn Soo-ho with her back to her as if to protect her better state. It’s not easy for him to get past her and get her better, and even if he manages to get past her, he’ll definitely stab her in the back.

-Jureureuk.

Besides, there wasn’t much time left. Blood began to leak little by little again through the ice in the wound that had begun to melt before I knew it. He quickly re-frozen the wound to stop the bleeding, but it was only a temporary measure.

“… ….”

In the end, Suho Ahn reluctantly pulled out the sword that was worn around his waist. Seeing that, Naeun-joo, standing behind Kang Ha-neul, smiled.

“Hey. To kill in the end? Okay. My brother’s life is more important than the lives of others. Is not it?”

“…… Shut up before I rip that mouth out.”

“You should kill her first before you tear my mouth open?”

Kang Ha-neul stood at an angle as if protecting Na Eun-joo.

While aiming her sword at her, she thought to herself about the protection of her eyes. It’s a hopeless situation, but not without hope.

‘The condition for releasing Na Eun-joo’s mind control is not death. Exactly, it is the extreme pain that leads to death, or the psychological shock equivalent to it.’

In the original work, it was in the same context that Midwyeol unraveled the mental control by himself. She managed to regain her sanity just before killing her Ryu Tae-hyeon with her own hands. The psychological shock that comes from the situation that she might kill her loved one with her own hands caused her awakening.

Of course, I couldn’t expect the same thing from Kang Ha-neul. Unlike Ryu Tae-hyun & Mid-gyeol, who had deep emotional exchanges across all kinds of lines in the original work, Ahn Su-ho and Kang Ha-neul had only known each other for a month. It was nothing to be sad about.

However, the fact that Ahn Su-ho judged that there is hope is another condition for the mental manipulation to be released.

It was excruciating physical pain.

‘Damage received in the avatar state is not fed back to the main body. It’s an extra life, so to speak. Even if he suffers fatal injuries in the avatar state, Kang Ha-neul will not die.’

If Ahn Soo-ho inflicts a fatal wound on Kang Ha-neul, who is in an avatar state. If you’re lucky, the pain may break Naeun-joo’s mind control. Even if it doesn’t work out, if it’s Kang Ha-neul who hasn’t activated his Avatar ability, he’ll be able to subdue him with minimal injuries.

“…… Sorry. Sky.”

Is that apology an apology for attacking Kang Ha-neul? Or is it an apology for his complacency that caused this situation?

“… ….”

However, the person who heard the apology did not respond.

Very slightly, those eyebrows twitched a little, but that was it.

-Taat!

It was An Su-ho who moved his body first. His sword struck the ground and flew towards the river sky.

A movement without any superfluity. There was no hesitation. There was no way he could hesitate. I know for sure that this tragic situation was caused by my own complacency, but I couldn’t do anything more stupid.

– Whiririririk!

The attacks of the two went back and forth. Kang Ha-neul, who changed his avatar into an accelerated form again, and An Su-ho, who desperately wielded his sword. Kang Ha-neul still had the upper hand in absolute speed, but Ahn Soo-ho’s attack, which relieved hesitation, was also never slow.

-Tooung!

Kang Ha-neul’s kick broke Ahn Su-ho’s knees. His body slumps.

-Suddenly!

But the next moment, Ahn Su-ho’s sword cut Kang Ha-neul’s waist. Although it was only a minor injury because he avoided it right before being cut, drops of red blood splattered from the inside of the long cut-out gown.

-Paat!

Ahn Soo-ho, who had been on his knees, used the recoil to strike forward. And the quick workshop started again.

Soon, Ahn Su-ho’s thrust flew fiercely, aiming for Kang Ha-neul’s chest.

-Fu-wook!

Fresh blood spurts out.

Kang Ha-neul did not avoid the blow. Instead of avoiding it, he blocked the sword with his left hand, risking his flesh being pierced, and grabbed An Su-ho’s sword.

-Wooddeuk. Awesome

On the contrary, An Su-ho put on a painful expression at the sound of flesh tearing and bones breaking. At that, the river and the sky swung his right hand wrapped in flames. Ahn Soo-ho grabbed that right hand as hard as he could.

-Chiyiyi profit!

Dense steam rose between the two clashing hands. Ahn Su-ho activated the frost magic with the intention of freezing his entire arm. A chunk of ice containing the protection of the Frost Spirit met the flame and instantly vaporized and scattered into the air.

“Huh?”

Seeing this, Naeun-joo let out a small exclamation. I had no idea that Ahn Soo-ho had cold-related abilities.

-Furr rrr rrr!

-Chiyiyi profit!

However, neither of them had any interest in Naeun-joo. The two face each other as if holding hands. One side pierced the hand with a sword, and the other side was ice and flame.

“Heaven… ….”

The eyes of the two meet. Ahn Su-ho’s eyes, which are full of emotions, and Kang Ha-neul’s eyes, on the contrary, show no emotion.

“…… Sorry. It will hurt a little.”

At last, Ahn Su-ho chewed his lips and activated Talisman. The right hand holding the sword emitted a blue light, and black smoke billowed along the blade.

-Took!

The next moment, Kang Ha-neul’s left hand exploded. Still, she didn’t even scream.

The blow caused Kang Ha-neul’s posture to collapse. Leaving behind her messy dance, Chasing the river and sky, Ahn Soo-ho pulled the sword back as hard as he could. Her target is the chest of the river sky. It was the intention to release the avatar of Kang Ha-neul by piercing the heart in the middle.

– Pounding.

Ahn Suho thrust out his sword.

– Pounding.

Kang Ha-neul, whose posture collapsed, could not react.

– Pounding.

A dramatic moment that will decide the outcome of a battle. Ahn Su-ho’s senses expanded endlessly, and time passed infinitely slowly.

Innumerable drops of blood scattered in the air.

His own blade that slowly flies.

Kang Ha-neul’s right hand to defend belatedly.

Those eyes that still show no emotion.

Eventually, the moment the blade touches the chest, even the disgusting feeling of cutting through the skin.

In that fleeting moment, Ahn Soo-ho could vividly feel everything that was there. She felt her sword pierce the heart of the river and sky.

-Fu-wook!

Soon, An Su-ho’s sword pierced Kang Ha-neul’s back with a dull, penetrating sound.

“Hey?! Cool?!”

Red blood flowed backwards from Kang Ha-neul’s mouth. No matter how much he was being manipulated, he could not maintain his composure even after his heart was pierced.

“………… ?”

Soon, the agitation turns into questions, and questions turn into shock. Kang Ha-neul’s mind escaped from the chain of Naeun’s attention at the momentary overwhelming pain and rose to the surface of the water again.

-Took!

As Ahn Su-ho drew his sword, Kang Ha-neul’s body leaned forward weakly and leaned against him. Her head is buried in the shoulder of her ansuho. Because of this, Ahn Su-ho could not see Kang Ha-neul’s expression.

“…… Brother.”

I just hugged Kang Ha-neul’s body in silence at that trembling voice.

-Pain!

A white halo of light spread and Kang Ha-neul’s avatar was unlocked. Kang Ha-neul, whose avatar was unlocked, felt a rush of drowsiness. The effect of the anesthetic, which temporarily disappeared due to the avatar’s ability, began to eat away at her body again.

“I’m sorry. Sky Because of me, because I acted stupid, you…….”

“…… Brother.”

Kang Ha-neul, in the midst of his distant consciousness, continued to speak with difficulty.

“…… Better, State. Ability… …. In succession……. Now is your chance…….”

“…… What?”

“Lollipops… …. Enhancer……. Side effect… …. Continuous use is a heavy burden……. If now…….”

Kang Ha-neul tried to talk about Naeun-joo’s ability.

Na Eun-joo’s mind control cannot be used continuously.

Mental control, which uses supernatural powers forcibly as an enhancer, has severe side effects.

So now you can catch Naeunju without fear of being manipulated.

“… ….”

However, Ahn Su-ho’s expression was in shock when he heard those sparse words. It looked like he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

‘There is no way Kang Ha-neul knew about Na Eun-joo’s psychic powers.’

Na Eun-joo’s ability is information that was considered top secret in the original work. Even if Kang Ha-neul had an excellent informant, this was information he could never find out.

Nevertheless, Kang Ha-neul had a detailed understanding of her Naeunju ability, and she was trying to give Ahn Su-ho warnings and advice based on her knowledge.

The indications of those facts were obvious.

“As expected… ….”

Ahn Soo-ho gently laid Kang Ha-neul’s body on the ground. Ahn Su-ho spoke softly to Kang Ha-neul, who was almost closing his eyes under the influence of the anesthetic.

“Heaven must have been a possessor too.”

“………… Yes?”

At that shocking remark, Kang Ha-neul managed to hold on to his blurred consciousness. A quivering gaze flicked through the air.

“How…… ?”

A single question with numerous meanings and emotions.

“I am just like you.”

At last, when Ahn Su-ho replied, Kang Ha-neul’s eyes widened.

“…… Heh.”

Her eyes, however, seemed to be unable to overcome the anesthesia, and eventually her eyes began to close. As she sank below the surface of the water, the sky of her river barely followed her words.

Somehow, it seemed so.

With those words, Kang Ha-neul closed her eyes. His sleeping face was peaceful, breathing lightly. There was even a faint smile on her lips.

“…… “

Ahn Soo-ho, who confirmed the condition of the river, stood up without a word.

His condition could not be said to be good even in empty words.

A battle with hunting dogs in a warehouse. Arriving here, the battle with Kali. And even to the death struggle with Kang Ha-neul a while ago.

The accumulated injuries and fatigue from the series of fights were by no means light.

Blood was leaking again from the wound on his side, which he had closed by means of a makeshift method. The rest of the body was also full of bruises and cuts. Even more, when it came to his left hand, due to the effects of frost magic and flames, burns and statues coexisted.

His physical condition was serious.

But he couldn’t be knocked down.

He still had work to do.

Ahn Su-ho silently glared at Na Eun-joo. The innocent-looking 10-year-old girl was looking at Ahn Soo-ho with a cold smile unbefitting for her age.

“You’re amazing, brother. He didn’t know that even with such an injury, he would beat her sister. Besides, my ability doesn’t work at all. What the hell is your brother?”

“I don’t know.”

“Yeah. Can’t you tell me something I’m curious about?”

“I would have said I didn’t know anything.”

“Wow. Are you really angry? The eyes are so scary Are you staring at me like you’re going to kill me?”

“Right. I will kill you.”

-Hwi Oh Oh Oh!

Only the talisman shone and the mana in the air was sucked into his right hand. A lump of black smoke began to compress in his grasp.

“You’re going to kill a kid like me? Aren’t you stabbed by your conscience?”

“You are too dangerous to be treated as a child. You shouldn’t have hesitated in the first place.”

If that was the case, I wouldn’t have had to fight Kang Ha-neul. I said I was too complacent.

Ahn Soo-ho, who thought so, released his acting without hesitation this time. In order to kill Na Eun-joo, who is standing leisurely far away.

However.

“Keugh?!”

As he was about to shoot smoke, a black figure rushed at him. It was Carly. She ran as if throwing her body, her spear, her spear, and bit Ahn Su-ho’s arm as hard as she could.

-Tuhwaaak!

The flustered Ahn Soo-ho failed to control his ability and the smoke exploded. Powerful gusts of wind blew in all directions from the smoke that had lost its direction and was released indiscriminately.

“This crazy… ….”

“Ah, ah. Ahhh…… !”

However, despite the explosion at close range, Kali was still hanging on Ansuho’s arm. How did Carly, who couldn’t even move properly because of an injury a while ago, show such potential?

‘No way?’

The moment he thought that far, Ahn Su-ho reflexively turned his gaze to Naeun-joo.

-Jureureuk.

Before I knew it, Naeun-joo was stretching her slender fingers toward his Kali. Dark red blood was running down her face. Every hole in her face was bleeding.

“Carly.”

Nah Eun-joo’s mind control has severe side effects if used continuously. That said, it was not impossible to write continuously. She said softly, taking her side effects and controlling her Kali’s mind.

“I’m going to run away from now, so I risk my life and interfere as much as I can so that he can’t come after me.”

Coincidentally, the order was similar to the order Carly gave to the hounds earlier. Just as the hunting dogs neglected their lives and attacked Ahn Su-ho’s party at Naeun-joo’s command, Kali also stood in front of Ahn Su-ho’s death.

“Then brother. Shall I go?”

“Where are you going!”

Ahn Suho quickly shot out the smoke. Five black bullets flew towards Naeun-joo.

-Tung! Fighting! Fighting!

“Kkeuheugh!!”

But her smokeballs were blocked by Carly’s body and scattered helplessly. Despite the injury that prevented her from moving properly, Kali defended Naeun Joo by moving without taking care of her body. Large drops of tears flowed down her cheeks.

It was very pitiful even for enemy Ahn Su-ho to see. On the other hand, Naeun-joo, who controlled her Kali’s spirit, smiled as she wiped the blood flowing on her face.

“It wasn’t particularly pleasant to meet you, oppa, let’s not see each other again.”

With those words, Na Na Joo threw her body into the dark forest. Right after that, Carly jumped at Ahn Su-ho with staggering steps. Like a broken doll.

“………… f*ck.”

At that eerie sight, Ahn Soo-ho spat out an abusive language.
