43 – I want to be like that (8)
“Heh-uh… Heh-uh…”
Han Min-ha breathed lightly when he saw that the professor and Hee-won collapsed in the blink of an eye as they approached Death Hunger.
The professor with a saw blade stuck in his chest and Hee-won, who had been stabbed in the shoulder by a poison needle, were sprawled on the floor without moving.
Is the main… dead…? both…?
Han Min-ha hurriedly looked around.
However, the training ground management staff were nowhere to be seen.
I unconsciously searched my pockets, but there was no cell phone that I always needed.
ah…! I left it at the janitor’s office…
Looking back at the door leading to the prison camp, there was a solid iron door closed.
I ran towards it and knocked on the door, but I didn’t feel any presence on the other side.
I’m sure there must be an emergency phone somewhere…!
After incapacitating the two people in front of him, Death Hunger rolled his bowling ball-like eyes and moved his body around in search of the next target.
Chicle- Chicle- Chicle-
Although the practice room was large, it was a limited space, and soon Death Hunger found Han Min-ha frantically groping the walls for something like an emergency bell.
Death Hunger’s eight legs twitched and turned to it.
“Oops…”
Han Min-ha, who witnessed Death Hunger looking straight at her, almost collapsed because her legs gave out.

Moving both tongs, Death Hunger’s eyes spun once and stared straight at Han Min-ha.
The red laser shot between the eyes hit the center of Han Min-ha’s chest, and Death Hunger set Han Min-ha as its target.
I don’t know exactly what it is, but even Han Min-ha knows that there is nothing good about being aimed at by a laser.
So, as soon as Death Hunger moved forward quickly, Han Min-ha started running away.
Death Hunger is fast.
As arthropods do, Death Hunger chased Han Min-ha at great speed with his eight legs.
Kwagwagwagwagwa-!!!!
Hanmin desperately ran away from Death Hunger, who was following him with a small sandstorm attached to his tail, digging through the dirt floor.
Although he can’t use an aura, he inherited the blood of a hero, and thanks to Yoo Hee-won’s special training, his physical strength increased tremendously compared to when he entered school.
So, surprisingly, she was faster than DeathHunger.
If it wasn’t for Hee-won, Han Min-ha would have collapsed from exhaustion by now and been trampled to death by Death Hunger.
However, the practice field is circular, and if you run like this, there is no place to escape, and you will just spin round and round indefinitely and catch the tail.
there…
While running quickly, Han Min-ha looked back at the professor and Hee-won who had fallen over there.
So far, they’ve been knocked down without lifting a finger.
I can’t leave it as it is.
But if you go there carelessly, Death Hunger’s feet might trample the professor and Hee-won…
“Heo-euk…! Heo-euk…!”
Breathing heavily, Han Min-ha quickly shook his head.
Death Hunger is solid.
If you don’t use an aura, you can’t break the carapace and hit the inside.
I looked around to see if there were tools I could use, but the practice room was disastrously tidy, and I couldn’t even see a common iron pipe.
What should I do…?
If only I could buy a little bit of time…
At that time, a shadow fell over Han Min-ha’s head.
Han Min-ha, feeling a chill, threw herself to the side, and Death Hunger’s stinger pierced the spot where she had just been standing.
After failing to attack, Death Hunger retrieved the poison needle again without getting angry and chased Han Min-ha again.
The moment I saw it, a good idea came to my mind.
Hanminha can’t use Aura, but at least her current physical abilities are superior to those of other high school students.

Maybe… that way…
If it’s only for a little while…
Han Min-ha stopped running and turned around.
Then, in reverse, I ran to the terrifying Death Hunger and rode on its back.
Kyririk- Kyririk- Chickle Chicle-
Death Hunger’s eyes rushed to look at Han Min-ha, who had climbed onto his back, and his eight legs moved in perfect order and turned his body round and round.
Han Min-ha stood on Death Hunger’s back with all fours and glanced at the stinger on his tail.
Death Hunger, who tried to raise the claw above his head but failed due to the angle of the joint, ended up bending his tail as much as he could.
As soon as the poison needle aimed at Han Min-ha and bent sharply inward, Han Min-ha leaped with all his might.
Then, the poison needle aimed at Han Min-ha pierced Death Hunger’s own back.
Death Hunger, with a poison needle deeply embedded in his back, stopped all movement for an instant, as if the power was turned off.
No matter how badly he is in the bottom of the academy, his trick using the fact that his physical abilities exceed those of ordinary people worked well…!
Han Min-ha ran to Professor Han Min-ha and Hee-won without missing that short gap.
“professor!”
Fortunately, the professor, lying with a circular saw blade stuck in his chest, did not bleed.
However, he did not dare to touch the saw blade because he feared that if he pulled out the saw blade, blood would spurt out like pulling out a cork.
“Heewon…! Wake up!”
Hee-won, who had been hit by a poison needle in the shoulder, was also unconscious.
It was unclear whether the stinger of that mechanical scorpion had real poison, but fortunately Heewon was breathing lightly.
Han Min-ha let out a sigh of relief after confirming that both were still alive, although unconscious.
But that was only for a moment.
The Death Hunger that had stopped over there began to move with a creak.
Han Min-ha alone cannot move both of them.
“Professor! Heewon! Get up!”
Han Min-ha screamed and shook the two of them wildly, but the professor and Hee-won were unmoved.
What the hell… What are the management office staff doing…!
In the meantime, Death Hunger turned his body while looking for Han Min-ha, rolling his eyes.
I bit my lip in regret as I watched Death Hunger turn this way while clicking the tongs.
Aura… I have to use an aura…
The professor and Hee-won dragged me by the collar as I was about to drop out…

My only friends…
To save the professor and Heewon… I have to do it…!
But how… how on earth can I use an aura?
I don’t know… I don’t know…
If I could have realized it, I would have realized it sooner…!
I’m sorry, professor… I’m sorry, Heewon…
But I really don’t know…
Death Hunger was already close.
Eyes like black, emotionless bowling balls and a body covered in complex mechanical parts.
Creepy claws and a poisonous needle that did not dull even after several attacks.
Ah… aura…!
If it collapses here, Heewon and Professor…!!
I also… want to be like the professor…!
The moment Death Hunger’s poison needle penetrated the crown of Han Min-ha’s head, Han Min-ha closed his eyes and stretched out his hands forward.
* * * * *
I heard applause somewhere.
Han Min-ha thought it was the sound of applause from the angels welcoming them to heaven.
Wait… But did I live a good enough life to go to heaven after I die…?
Probably not.
Because the applause wasn’t an angel.
“Excellent.”
I slowly turned my head and opened my eyes to see the professor clapping.
“School… Professor…?”
Even though the clothes on his chest were torn in a mess, the professor was smiling as if his complexion was not different from usual.
“I’ll do it sooner… It’s wasting time…”
Beside him, Heewon was getting up in a rumble, brushing off the dust from her clothes.
“Heewon…? What the hell is this…”
“Above the head.”
When Hee-Won raised her gaze to the place Hee-Won was pointing at, she saw a small square shield floating in the air, protecting her head.
“Uh… shield… huh…? uh… then… uh…”
“Couldn’t the academy professor have been beaten by such a rotten monster, idiot?”
“ah…”
It was only then that I noticed everything about Hanmin.
It was all… a situational drama…
“You did a really good job, student Minha. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you beforehand.
“Ah yes…”
“Although it was a very weak object that was poisoned for practice, it did a good job, especially the way it got DeathHunger to attack itself was very ingenious.”
“Weak… entity…”
“Well… if you couldn’t use an aura, it would have been a bit daunting… but now I think it’s good to think of it as a really weak entity.”
Then, the professor pointed over Han Min-ha’s shoulder.
Han Min-ha turned her head to the direction the professor pointed at, opened her mouth, and didn’t say anything.
Up until now, there was nothing where DeathHunger had been standing.
Instead, the small mechanical parts presumed to be Death Hunger’s body were terribly crumpled and torn, and were spread wide in a fan shape with Han Min-ha at the center.
“If you push when you are driven to the edge of a cliff, ordinary people will fall, but heroes will soar.”
The professor came over and stood beside him.
“Student Min-ha was extraordinary. So now, please be aware of yourself.”
The professor reached out and grabbed Han Min-ha’s wrist.
“Student Minha has the qualifications to become a hero.”
In Min-ha Han’s hands, which the professor held up in front of her eyes, purple auras were flowing like flames.
Yesterday’s year and today’s year are the same.
However, Professor Hyeon’s prediction that yesterday’s Han Min-ha and today’s Han Min-ha would be different was correct.
“thank you…”
After that, Han Min-ha staggered and tried to fall down.
Supporting Han Min-ha, the professor laughed lowly.
“Let’s go eat.”
