The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today chapter 29

29 – My Own Villain (1)

“We’ll conclude the facility management matters here and move on to the next.”

Hanyul Military Academy’s conference room. It’s the first professorial meeting held after the first-half training.

All attendees are full-time professors, specifically gathered with senior professors and senior instructors among them.

Administrative officer and professor Han Se-young, in charge of leading the meeting, continued speaking.

“The agenda for today is… regarding a re-evaluation request on the disciplinary action of Combatant Department’s student, Kang Tae-hoon.”

Kang Tae-hoon. As his name echoed, the atmosphere within the conference room swiftly turned icy.

Uncomfortable gestures like unnecessary coughing or wiping cold sweat, the professors all exhibited signs of unease in their own ways.

In this situation where everyone was holding back their words, the one to speak on behalf of this school, someone who had been a senior instructor here for the longest, was Instructor Kim Dong-hak.

“I’m aware that Kang Tae-hoon is currently under disciplinary action for misconduct. But a re-evaluation at this point… whose request is this?”

Professors and instructors shook their heads, indicating it wasn’t any of them.

“Right here.”

However, there was an exception, a man raising his hand. It was Principal Lee Min-ho, seated in the conference room’s VIP section.

Ah, that makes sense. He rarely visited the conference room, yet there must have been a good reason this time.

Kim Dong-hak furrowed his brow.

“May I ask the reason?”

“About this time last year? When Kang Tae-hoon received disciplinary action.”

“Yes, that’s correct. He was disciplined for excessive violence against fellow students and a professor.”

Hm, recalling an unpleasant memory perhaps? One of the administrative officers and a professor in the corner shuddered.

Kim Dong-hak continued speaking.

“At that time, the administrative officer and Instructor Kim Ji-yu, who suffered damage, are still undergoing treatment. It’s absurd to talk about reinstating student Kang Tae-hoon in such a situation.

The victim continues to suffer and receive treatment to this day. Unable to return to daily life, let alone reinstated or reemployed.

However, the perpetrator boldly roams the school, casually attending lectures as if nothing happened… The order of things is clearly wrong.

Other faculty members, like Kim Dong-hak, gathered their thoughts and nodded in agreement.

“If that’s the case, it’s acceptable.”

However, as if anticipating such resistance, School Principal Lee Min-ho held up an envelope.

“That…?”

“A petition. And it’s in the name of Instructor Kim Ji-yu.”

…!

The atmosphere in the conference room began to stir.

Kim Dong-hak looked at Administrative Officer Han Se-young and Professor Lee Hae-rim, asking if they had heard anything separately.

Han Se-young quickly shook her head, claiming not to have heard anything.

Clap clap─!

To calm the chaotic conference room, Lee Min-ho lightly clapped his hands.

“Above all, Instructor Kim Ji-yu wishes for it. She hopes that Kang Tae-hoon can return to our Han Yul Military Academy as soon as possible and pursue his dreams.”

“Yes…?”

Did Instructor Kim Ji-yu really say such words? Even after experiencing such a traumatic incident?

Kim Dong-hak couldn’t believe it. He hoped it was a script created by the school principal.

“The school principal was genuinely moved by that broad-mindedness. To think we had such an excellent educator at our Han Yul Military Academy!”

… .

“After hearing those words, how could I remain silent? As the school principal, I must do whatever needs to be done.”

If all of this were true, Min-ho’s actions could be considered justified. He simply acted according to the victim’s wishes.

“Correcting wrong actions on the spot and guiding towards the right path to ensure it doesn’t happen again is the mindset we educators should have, isn’t it?”

It sounds easy. How many people in this school can control that troublemaker so easily? Even Kim Dong-hak, a master strategist, finds it challenging.

Moreover, he’s a combat student. It means he’s an awakened one. Employees from administrative or technical departments might get hurt for no reason.

Kang Tae-hoon was like a walking powder keg.

“Moreover, I believe everyone here knows about the talent Kang Tae-hoon possesses. It’s difficult to let his talent go to waste like this.”

That’s the problem. Kang Tae-hoon’s power. The situation unfolded because there was no way to cope with that power.

And it’s understandable.

After all, Kang Tae-hoon was the top-ranking student from last year.”

“What? You’re saying you were one of the 30 survivors?”

After training ended and we returned to our daily lives, I engaged in casual banter with tattooed enthusiasts in the classroom as usual.

“I was the only C-rank Awakener there, just like before. How about that? Do I look different now?”

“No, how could you? What can you possibly achieve with that spoon to endure for five days?”

“You don’t understand.”

I took out the spoon I had kept in my pocket.

“I used this spoon to eliminate someone from the competition.”

“Don’t lie. Who would fall for that spoon? A baseball bat would be more threatening.”

Bang!

At that moment, one student jumped up in surprise. It was Baek Ju-hee, who had been doing nail art in the distance.

It seemed she had overheard our conversation.

“Oh… is it real?”

Tattoo enthusiasts chuckled at Baek Ju-hee’s reaction. It seemed more believable now.

“This is not the end. With this spoon, I defeated A-rank Masu Bajah.”

“What? That giant dinosaur guy?”

“Don’t be surprised yet. On the fourth day of training, I even had a showdown with the tough instructor, Geum Gye-jun. I don’t need to say the result; you can guess.”

Now that I had passed, it meant my victory.

“Insane! You fought and survived against that gentleman? Is that really the spoon I knew, that piece of crap? Did Arnah get into your body, by any chance?”

“Do you know where Arnah was when I was fighting Geum Gye-jun? Right behind me, hiding.”

“Can you at least tone down the lies…!”

Thud!

Arnah appeared and smacked me on the back with a book.

Already here, huh?

“At that time, you couldn’t do anything…! You were just hiding behind me the whole time!”

“…”

“Even when Bajah appeared, you didn’t even show your face…!”

After hearing Arnah’s statement, the tattoo enthusiast scratched his head in frustration.

“Yeah, you’re right. If that’s the case, how did you defeat Bajah with that spoon?”

“However, it is true that I smacked Baek Ju-hee with this spoon.”

“Oh, really? Seriously?”

“Drrr─”

At that moment, the classroom door opened. Short haircut, shining prosthetic limbs in both hands. Combat instructor and assistant instructor Seo Dan-ah entered.

Not the assigned instructor.

“Please take your seats, everyone.”

Following Seo Dan-ah’s words, the students stopped their actions and corrected their posture. Arna also returned to her seat.

Once the classroom became somewhat quiet, Seo Dan-ah spoke.

“At present, Instructor Sim Jung-hyun is attending a faculty meeting, so I will be conducting today’s lecture on her behalf.”

While it’s not uncommon to delegate auxiliary tasks to assistants, entrusting the entire lecture is a rare occurrence.

But she was confidently occupying the lectern. On one hand, it could be evidence of trusting Seo Dan-ah.

In reality, Seo Dan-ah is very strong, enough to disconcert the skilled Arna. I saw it during the last training session.

“Don’t worry too much. Today, we’ll just have a simple practical exercise along with some visual aids.”

Beep. Seo Dan-ah manipulated her prosthetic to activate the beam projector. Soon, the entire classroom darkened, and a PPT template appeared on the screen.

“Today’s lecture topic is interpersonal combat training.”

Interpersonal combat.

Not fighting against monsters, but fighting against other people.

Training to face individuals is just as important as training against monsters.

Not everyone, but occasionally among the awakened, there are a few crazies. There might come a time when you have to fight them, depending on the situation.

So, Seo Dan-ah prepared this training.

“The practical exercise won’t be difficult. We will divide into groups and conduct a simple scenario training.”

Click─

Seo Dan-ah spread her palm towards the students. Exactly five fingers.

“The training will be conducted in groups of five. Two as villains, two as detectives who will apprehend the villains, and finally, one civilian. Let’s divide like this.”

Beep─!

Then, Assistant Instructor Seo Dan-ah operated the remote control. The screen transitioned. A lottery machine, reminiscent of a lotto broadcast, appeared.

“Now, let’s organize the team members.”

Drrr─!

Balls inside the case began to dance.

“Uh, why me….”

The lottery result. The person who will play the role of a civilian in this practical exercise, Arna Kristintotir.

….

….

“Ah, seriously…! Out of all those numerous teams, why here of all places…!”

“Ugh… I don’t have confidence in fighting….”

Next, the role of an investigator, Class C Awakener Baek Ju-hee.

In addition, the human lighter, Class D Awakener Prometheus.

These two will stop the villain.

And.

Lastly, the most important villain role is….

….

….

“Hey, are you ready, Tattoo Boy?”

Chooop. I licked the tip of my spoon with my tongue.

“Of course, Spoon.”

Shwap. Likewise, Tattoo Boy licked the blade of a fork along with me.

Our appearance was extremely villainous and of poor quality.

We were practically villains ourselves.
