The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

I silently observed the description that had appeared before me.

Simply put, it allowed me to resurrect and control those I had killed myself.

A special ability obtained by reinforcing Murasame with the Stone of Immortality.

〈Authority of the King of the Underworld〉

Without realizing it, I let out an exclamation of amazement.

“Wow.”

“With this, it’s not just worth burning the money for a luxury car—it’s worth burning the money for several houses.”

I finally understood why the players of the original game couldn’t stop talking about special abilities.

‘…Isn’t this basically necromancy?’

There were some conditions and restrictions, but it was still an incredible ability. atlas Even so, I couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable with the concept.

Resurrecting enemies I had killed and using them at my convenience.

It was like bringing a fish back to life after turning it into sashimi.

If the battle dragged on and the enemies kept swarming me, the situation could spiral out of control in a matter of seconds.

Putting aside the strange feeling, this was great news for someone like me, who relied on fast and precise attacks.

However, it had a major weakness in fights against multiple opponents.

My ability, [Blessing of the God of the Sword], was extremely effective in one-on-one duels.

If it weren’t for Abel and Shail’s help, I wouldn’t have made it to him.

I had already experienced that before in the undead dungeon.

Even though the enemies were just simple D-rank corpses, making my way to the Draugr hadn’t been easy.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

This ability would be perfect for future dungeons.

That’s why, if I could now have allies helping me in battle, even if they were corpses under my control, my combat style would become much more versatile.

In high-level dungeons, it was normal to encounter B-rank monsters as if they were just common enemies.

‘Even that night, when I wiped out the villains, I depended on the assistance of Knox and Altair.’

“It would be nice to have a chance to test this ability before entering a dungeon.”

It didn’t matter if that mount was a cold corpse—I wasn’t in a position to be picky.

If I had a mount, I could reduce the consumption of [Blessing of Pain Immunity].

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“A mount…”

I’d have to compensate him with a good bribe in the future.

For now, the only thing I could do was be grateful to Volundr for unlocking this ability for me.

‘What is Choi Seol-ah doing right now?’

As I spun Murasame’s blade under the moonlight, the word “mount” reminded me of someone.

Several days had passed since the start of the semester.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even then, she seemed to be avoiding me.

‘…She doesn’t have bad intentions, does she?’

I had seen her that morning, but only in passing.

I couldn’t trust her.

“Since she’s an instructor, if I could get her to help me with the election, the process would be easier.”

It was obvious she followed me around simply because it was convenient for her.

She had no sense of loyalty—she only thought about her own benefit.

She was a former villain with a cunning and opportunistic personality.

They were proof that Choi Seol-ah was my mount.

After storing Murasame in its sheath, I opened my drawer.

Among the essential items, a pair of earrings shimmered with an eerie glow.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I couldn’t rule out the possibility that Choi Seol-ah might try to join them.

Although most of the villains who had infiltrated the academy were already dead, there were still external enemies.

However, there was still uncertainty.

As long as I had them, her chances of betraying me were practically zero.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I picked up my phone and started typing.

“I’d better confirm this as soon as possible.”

She could be looking for a way to free herself from the bind of these earrings.

[Choi Seol-ah: (……)]

[Me: What are you doing?]

Knock, knock.

[Choi Seol-ah: (……)]

[Me: I need to talk to you in person. shadow If you have time, let’s meet tomorrow.]

My forehead immediately furrowed. academy However, I held back before losing my temper.

Besides, it wouldn’t be good if she replied instantly.

After about 20 minutes of waiting…

‘Well… it’s late at night. alpha She doesn’t have to respond right away.’

We weren’t a couple or anything.

It was an image.

[Choi Seol-ah: (photo)]

Ring~

A dark corner on the outskirts, shrouded in shadows.

In the center, Choi Seol-ah was chained, surrounded by more than twenty villains. portal Two burly men stood guard at the entrance.

In the photo, Choi Seol-ah was completely covered in blood.

A man in a black coat walked toward the center. canvas His steps halted right in front of Choi Seol-ah, who was kneeling on the ground.

With her head bowed, her vision only reached the tips of his shoes. artist A thin trickle of blood dripped from her lips, staining the front of his shoes.

Step, step—

“Hey, Choi Seol-ah.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…….”

“Even if you’re a damn traitor and an idiot, did you really think you could betray us and get away with it? crystal Did you think that just because you were inside the academy, we wouldn’t be able to catch you?”

A gloomy voice ran down her back like a cold current. aluminum Since she didn’t respond, the man let out a deep sigh.

Bam!

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

A sharp groan escaped her throat.

The tip of his shoe, still stained with her blood, dug into Choi Seol-ah’s abdomen.

“Kuhk!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was just a kick, but it felt as if her insides had twisted.

“My, my. armor What a pathetic sight for someone who used to call herself a villain. timber Lift your head. abstract Even though Agor is dead, you still have some mana left, don’t you? beacon Hurry up and heal yourself.”

A thick clot of blood spilled from her mouth.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Tch. avalanche Don’t tell me you bit your tongue and can’t talk.”

The man’s gloved hands mockingly patted her swollen cheeks before grabbing her hair roughly and yanking her head back.

“…….”

“We’re tracking him, but this is a device exclusively for Joaquin Academy instructors. alert Its security is too strong. legend Unless he contacts us first, it’ll be difficult to breach it.”

“Any response from the guy we sent the picture to? atomic His saved name is… ‘★My Lord★,’ right? amber I don’t know who the hell he is, but find him no matter what. arctic If he hasn’t responded, track his signal and bring him here.”

The man slightly turned his head back and shouted at one of his subordinates, who was typing on a laptop.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The man clicked his tongue in frustration.

Ha, ha—

“If you can’t hack it, you’d better prepare your grave along with this bitch. aluminum Find that guy, no matter what.”

“Y-yes, sir!”

The stench of death lingered at the tip of her nose.

Her lips were torn, her right eye completely swollen and bruised.

Choi Seol-ah struggled to breathe.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Through her blurred vision, she barely made out the face of the man who was mocking her.

“Breathe, breathe… A traitor like you can’t die so fast. beacon That would be too boring.”

For days, she had been receiving strange text messages.

His skeletal frame gave him a ghastly appearance.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, for some reason, an eerie sense of unease had settled in her chest, prompting her to minimize any suspicious movements.

‘Damn it.’

Maybe that’s why, when she met her Lord that morning, she only exchanged a brief glance instead of greeting him.

She had ignored them, thinking they were just phone scams or insurance ads.

It wasn’t until she was kidnapped that same night that she understood the meaning of those messages.

The group that kept these human-shaped beasts under one banner.

It was a death sentence sent by an organization.

The Villain Union.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It’s not that she hadn’t anticipated this, but… Maybe she had grown too soft in the warm security of Joaquin Academy.

For a moment, she had forgotten that she was a villain herself.

She had been too naive.

They had sent their assassination squad, Vendetta, to execute her.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘…Damn it.’

That she was once Choi Seol-ah… and not just Instructor Kim.

Vendetta never lets a traitor escape. shadow They are hounds that chase until the end.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

These people didn’t just kill their targets.

They delighted in tormenting them before execution, savoring every scream and convulsion of agony.

And when they catch their prey, they tear it apart mercilessly, like fighting dogs.

He had no real name, like most villains, but his cadaverous face and infamous reputation had earned him the nickname “Reaper.”

And in particular, their leader.

Even among villains, Vendetta was the worst of the worst.

Not only were they strong, but they were a group of lunatics specialized in assassination and torture.

“…Damn useless trash.”

But unlike his master, Reaper had no restraint whatsoever.

Compared to him, Damian almost seemed like a rational person.

He was a trusted subordinate of Damian, that bastard who played at being a professor at the academy.

Then, he called out to Choi Seol-ah again.

“Choi Seol-ah.”

Reaper ran a hand through his hair, revealing his sunken face and sharp cheekbones.

“…….”

“…If I tell you… will you let me live?”

With her lips bruised and broken, Choi Seol-ah barely managed to respond.

“Or should I call you Instructor Kim, now that you’re part of Joaquin Academy, huh? amateur Wouldn’t it have been easier to just confess? canvas All the other infiltrators are already dead. arena I just want to know how it all happened and why you betrayed us.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Ah.”

Then, suddenly, Reaper clutched his forehead and burst into laughter.

At her words, the shadows beneath Reaper’s brows deepened. silence There was a brief silence.

“Puhaha! acquire Seriously? abstract You’re still trying to survive? riddle Fuck, you’re a complete lost cause! atom Listen up. crystal There is no way you’re leaving here alive. voyage But… if you talk and confess everything, maybe I’ll make it quick. auction I’ll cut off your arms and legs before I kill you.”

Until just a moment ago, she had thought that the sense of danger she felt was because of Reaper.

When Reaper let go of her hair, Choi Seol-ah’s head fell heavily.

She was trembling slightly with her head bowed.

Seeing her reaction, a mocking grin appeared on Reaper’s lips.

This raw, wild sensation… was something else.

But no.

Her bluish lips barely moved.

Slice!

Thud! album Thud!

“My, my. apron Did you break so easily? atomic And here I thought I could have a little more fun.”

A single cutting sound echoed from the entrance.

Twenty pairs of eyes immediately turned toward the entrance.

And just then…

Plop—

Two bodies fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

The dry sound of leaves being crushed.

Crack—

Two headless torsos collapsed, leaving behind a trail of dark blood.

There was nothing.

No.

But beyond the entrance…

The villain frantically typing on his laptop lifted his head a second too late.

“Boss! attic We’ve managed to track the signal… but something’s off. antique The location is less than 20 meters from here…”

It was as if everyone’s perception refused to register the presence of something.

Slash!

Just in time to see the gleam of a blade slicing through the darkness and grazing his throat.

‘What the hell is this, boss?’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He felt a tingling in his neck, like a fever. arch He looked down.

There was a long, thin knife embedded beneath his chin.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

The handle had a 30% discount sticker and the logo of a dollar store.

The moment he grasped the situation, his eyes widened immensely.

‘…?’

“…….”

His pupils rolled and rolled until only the whites of his eyes were visible.

“…….”

In a matter of seconds, three lives had been extinguished.

Two headless bodies.

“Puhahahahahaha!”

And an idiot with a knife in his throat.

The chains binding her tensed, and her legs dangled in the air.

Choi Seol-ah burst into laughter.

“What the fuck are you laughing at, you piece of shit?! admire What’s going on?! aspect Is this your doing, Choi Seol-ah?!”

Realizing something was wrong, Reaper grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up.

A twisted smile formed.

But on her face.

Her crimson bangs partially covered her eyes.

Her mouth opened, revealing sticky blood between her teeth.

The Vendetta members reacted immediately.

And then.

“You know what…?”

Were now consumed by absolute terror.

The elite hunters who once reveled in provoking fear.

Without wasting any time, they all threw off their gloves and began casting spells.

Their bodies trembled instinctively.

“Don’t do anything until you identify the enemy!”

“Shit! auction What the hell is going on?!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Step, step. alpha Slow footsteps approached.

Even the most ruthless villains share the same instinct for survival.

Without realizing it, they grouped together, pressing their backs against each other.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 148 – I Also Have Loyalty (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was as if the darkness itself had birthed him.

And then, the figure of the intruder appeared.

“Th-The Sashimi Saint?”

A boy with jet-black hair and midnight-colored eyes.

“…Ehehe.”

And at the corner of her cracked lips.

Through her bangs, Choi Seol-ah’s eyes gleamed intensely.

She took a strained breath and finally, with a trembling voice, murmured.

A smile just as confident as the one she used to have as a villain took shape.

“You’re fucked.”
