The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

“Shit! adapt Why the hell did that bastard show up all of a sudden?”

And not without reason. ability Just looking at the three corpses at Reaper’s feet was enough proof.

The Saint of Sashimi, Kang Geom-Ma. artist Even within the Villain Alliance, his name was widely known.

Reaper knew very well how important that boy was. arena His master, the Second Commander Kuarne, had set his eyes on him. amber And when Kuarne took interest in someone, it wasn’t on a whim—it was because he saw in them a potential vessel for his power.

With Kang Geom-Ma’s arrival, the atmosphere shifted drastically. palette However, the initial shock didn’t last long. palette The members of Vendetta quickly regrouped. sphere They removed their gloves, preparing to attack.

After all, they were elite assassins within the Villain Alliance. apple Situations like this weren’t common, but they weren’t unfamiliar either.

Two were decapitated, and the third had a knife embedded in his throat. arcade It had been a surprise attack, sure, but even so, it had all happened in the blink of an eye. adopt The rumors that this kid wielded his knife like a phantom were no exaggeration.

Whoosh—

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Moreover, a group of adult assassins couldn’t afford to tremble before a teenager with a knife. adjust It was already embarrassing enough to be here with so many men just to take care of one kid.

Huff—

They had no other choice. canvas Experience had taught them never to underestimate anyone. album And since their objective was to capture Kang Geom-Ma alive, the most efficient approach was to attack him all at once.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, preferably capture him alive. harbor And if you kill him, make sure the body is in good condition. atom Think of him as a high-value product. autumn Try not to leave too many marks. legend A couple of holes here and there is fine.”

“Listen up. august Form ranks according to your elemental affinities and maintain formation. zenith You’ve all seen the videos of how the Saint of Sashimi fights. timber Attack intelligently.”

“Boss, why don’t we just kill him instead of torturing him?”

Reaper exhaled deeply and ran his hand through his hair, smearing the blood from his gloves as if it were hair gel. ability Then, he gave the order.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hehehehehehe…

“Understood!”

Off to the side, Choi Seol-Ah, still chained and collapsed on the ground, suddenly started laughing like a madwoman. antenna With her face covered in blood and her teeth stained red, she looked like a vengeful specter.

“Boss, this bitch is laughing.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“First, we’ll pull out all her crooked teeth, then rip out the nails from her hands and feet, and after that… we’ll see.”

“Leave her. artist Looks like she’s already lost her mind. arctic Just make sure she doesn’t interfere in the fight. arcade We’ll take her to the base, and I’ll handle her personally.”

“Understood!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, Reaper turned his gaze toward Kang Geom-Ma. alert His narrowed eyes gleamed with malice.

Reaper’s eyes glowed with a reptilian coldness.

“A cocky brat like you must think you’re invincible after slaughtering weaklings, huh?”

“……”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

Kang Geom-Ma tilted his head slightly.

“Don’t worry, we’re professionals. shadow We’ll tear you apart and put your guts on display. audit It’ll be fun, trust me.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Fuck, is that bastard really seventeen years old?’

Reaper, who had been speaking so confidently, suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.

Those lifeless eyes, completely devoid of emotion… He was staring at someone who didn’t have a single screw left in his head.

He had met plenty of lunatics in his life, but this boy.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A pair of maniacs. portal They were two of a kind.

Reaper pulled a revolver from his waist.

He was different.

And it wasn’t just him. accent Choi Seol-Ah, who had been in tatters moments ago, was now grinning with a crazed glint in her eyes.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

In the world of *Miracle Blessing M*, firearms weren’t popular. acoustic Compared to enchanted weapons, their efficiency was simply pathetic.

‘…A gun?’

Heroes could move faster than sound with their blessings. album What was the point of using bullets?

Kang Geom-Ma’s eyes narrowed.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Each bullet was worth a million won.

Moreover, firearms left traces of gunpowder, were expensive to maintain, and bullets cost a fortune.

The best method of gun control wasn’t banning them—it was making their ammunition absurdly expensive.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Villains couldn’t wield magic weapons. antenna They were tools that resonated with the blessings of heroes.

‘So villains use firearms as substitutes for magic weapons…?’

Kang Geom-Ma licked his lips and adjusted his grip on Murasame and Eternal Frost.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s why some opted to modify firearms with magic.

If a villain tried to imbue them with mana, they would suffer internal bleeding and collapse.

Instead of gunpowder, they used mana as a propellant, massively increasing their speed and destructive power.

They called them “cursed bullets.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Kang Geom-Ma, we’ve studied your fighting style well. arena You’re incredibly fast… But even heroes have their limits.”

He shrugged and continued.

Click—

The revolver’s cylinder spun. antenna Reaper inserted a bullet and snapped the chamber shut with a click. atomic Then, he smirked maliciously.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He aimed the gun directly at Kang Geom-Ma.

“Let me tell you something before you get a hole in your forehead. atom If you use wind-attribute magic to eliminate air resistance, the speed of a bullet can increase tenfold. arctic A normal rifle fires at Mach 3. palette My cursed bullets reach Mach 30—faster than sound.”

His thumb pulled back the hammer.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A cruel smile stretched across his face.

His index finger rested on the trigger.

“I’d prefer to capture you alive, but if you think you can dodge this, you’re free to try.”

Kang Geom-Ma flicked his sword’s sheath lightly.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shiiing—

The gunshot rang out, marking the start of the battle.

Bang—

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Murasame’s blade slid just a palm’s width out of its sheath, reflecting light in a dazzling flash.

[The Blessing of the Sword God is manifesting.]

Kang Geom-Ma lunged forward.

The air around him warped.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Will the Blessing of the Sword God be faster… or will technology?’

And amidst that whirlwind of chaos, only one question ran through his mind.

Gusts of wind licked his face like invisible tongues.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Meanwhile, still chained up, Choi Seol-Ah couldn’t stop laughing like a lunatic.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!

With a single command, an entire corner of the area was completely engulfed in destructive magic.

“To the right! academy To the right! arena Bombard him!”

The villains unleashed a barrage of spells, following the sound of Kang Geom-Ma’s footsteps. canvas Water, fire, and rock mixed together, striking the floor, ceiling, and walls. aluminum The dark concrete blackened even further in the dim light of the place.

‘Damn it… How the hell are these villains working so well together?’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘This will take longer than I expected.’

Kang Geom-Ma realized immediately that these were not the typical disorganized villains who panicked and acted clumsily.

It was a one-versus-many battle, not a one-on-one duel. arcade The only advantage was that the space wasn’t very large. avalanche With such a confined terrain and obstacles everywhere, at least there were points to use for movement.

These guys reacted precisely to Reaper’s orders and signals. adapt Their formations were solid, well-trained. academy They weren’t bluffing when they called themselves professionals.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He had to eliminate them all before time ran out. legend He couldn’t rule out the possibility of reinforcements or that these guys had a bigger objective.

But that didn’t mean he had time to spare. auction Just dodging had already cost him 20 seconds. attic Even considering the time to unsheathe and sheathe his sword, the margin was too tight.

He had 50 seconds left.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t as if they had just decided to gather for a party or a reunion of old colleagues.

Why were they even here in the first place?

A disturbing thought crossed his mind.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A chill ran down his spine. autumn But at least he had confirmed that Choi Seol-Ah wasn’t with them.

…If, by a one-in-ten-thousand chance, they were conducting a ritual to summon one of the Corps Commanders, what would he do?

After all, the Fifth Commander, Agor, had appeared without warning during the survival training on the deserted island.

‘How do I close the distance?’

First, he would finish off all of them. shadow Then he would take her away immediately.

She was there, tied up and beaten to a pulp. absorb If she had been on their side, they wouldn’t have given her that kind of beating.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

If he got caught in a ranged battle, he would be at an absolute disadvantage.

The priority was to get closer. adapt The enemies were mages and gunners, long-range attackers, while he was a swordsman.

As he dodged the magical attacks, his mind worked frantically.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A high-pitched ringing pierced his ears.

Beeep!

Sporadic explosions echoed with each delayed impact.

Flaming arrows, water spears, and sharp rock fragments rained down on him, tearing into the concrete and scattering debris everywhere.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Create a rupture in their formation and sweep them all at once.

In that slowed-down moment, his mind stopped spinning like a top and reached a conclusion.

It was a lesson he had learned in his past life during military service.

The more disciplined and structured a team is, the more vulnerable it is to unpredictable factors.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

〈Team 1〉

The enemies totaled sixteen, organized into three teams of five, with Reaper in the center.

The first team distracted him, the second restricted his movement, and the third covered his blind spots.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The biggest problem was the gunman in the center.

Each team formed a tight triangle, with no apparent gaps.

／ Reaper ＼
[Team 2] ―― [Team 3]
Choi Seol-Ah

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

This was precisely why Kang Geom-Ma preferred swords. academy Guns were dirty and cowardly.

He remained protected behind his subordinates, firing without exposing himself too much.

As the battle continued, the gunman pulled the trigger.

A proper sword fight was honest and full of elegance.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Just before the revolver fired, Kang Geom-Ma had already moved.

Dodging a projectile at Mach 30 was impossible.

But what he *could* do was move before the enemy finished pulling the trigger.

Clank— Bang!

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The bullet grazed his cheek and embedded itself in the wall behind him.

Kang Geom-Ma tilted his head just in time.

Bang!

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Reaper watched the scene in disbelief.

A thin line of blood emerged from the shallow cut.

“…….”

Kang Geom-Ma wiped the wound with his hand and frowned.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

And his erratic movement, zigzagging with no fixed pattern, made it nearly impossible to predict his trajectory.

His combat instincts were insane.

Not only had he been dodging spells while moving, but he had also evaded a high-speed bullet in a confined space.

On top of that, he was steadily advancing, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Just then—

He couldn’t waste ammunition recklessly. palette He only had ten bullets left.

‘Shit! arctic I’ve already burned through ten million won in bullets!’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

…One of the villains misfired his spell. alert He had been snapping his fingers so frantically that his hands were sweaty, and they slipped.

He drew his Daiso kitchen knife and threw it like a spear.

“Fuck!”

Kang Geom-Ma’s eyes gleamed.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

! ! !

“Urk!”

The others stared at the corpse in horror. acquire Before they could react, Kang Geom-Ma was already upon them.

The villain let out a groan as the knife struck him in the forehead. harbor He convulsed and collapsed.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Reaper felt a chill crawl up his spine.

One by one, the bodies with blank eyes crumbled to the ground. atomic In the blink of an eye, a gap had opened in the formation.

Anxiety began to bubble in his chest.

“…Shit.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Five shots. alien At those speeds, it was impossible to dodge even if you predicted them.

Clank— Bang! antenna Bang! amber Bang! alert Bang! riddle Bang!

He gritted his teeth and fired frantically.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, Kang Geom-Ma’s vision blurred.

He stepped on the side wall and propelled himself upward.

Tap—

He stopped thinking, and his instincts took over.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Whoosh!

Planting his feet against the concrete, he pulled out a handful of knives and flung them in rapid succession.

In midair, he twisted his body before landing on the ceiling.

The silver blades rained down like a torrential storm.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The assassins of Vendetta fell one by one.

…A few moments later, only one remained.

“Urk!” acid “Agh!” anxiety “Ack!” canvas “Kugh!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He frantically searched for a spare magazine on his belt.

‘…Shit.’

Reaper.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Goddamn it!”

Gesturing with her head, she shouted at Kang Geom-Ma.

Choi Seol-Ah, still chained, bit his hand.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nowithhh thehhth tiwme! alert (Now’s the time!)”

But then, a chilling wind brushed against his wrist. apple He blinked in confusion as he looked to his left.

Reaper raised his free hand to push her away.

“You bitch! acid I should’ve killed you earlier!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

The image of a corpse with a laptop, wrapped in wires and holding a sashimi knife, was surreal.
That was the same weapon Kang Geom-Ma had wielded moments ago. matrix When had he handed it to that guy? timber No, more importantly—how the hell was he moving when he had a knife stuck in his throat?

“You, you, you, you laptop!”

Where his left hand should have been, only a few veins of blood spurted out. legend He felt no pain. absorb His mind went blank.

“?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Reaper’s expression changed in real-time at the sheer insanity of the scene.

‘Am I hallucinating?’

His right hand was trapped by Choi Seol-Ah, and his left hand—by his own reanimated subordinate.

The dead subordinate’s face was completely void of life. acid And yet, that same corpse was now staggering forward, wielding the knife.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Reaper’s vision darkened.

Whooosh!

In the midst of his daze, Kang Geom-Ma leaped toward him like a frog mid-jump.

The sound of air splitting was the last thing he heard.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

―Slash!

Before him, Kang Geom-Ma had raised his Eternal Frost high above. harbor And without hesitation, he brought the sword down in a vertical slash.

The blade descended from head to groin without the slightest resistance.

The gunman’s gaze emptied completely.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 149 – I Also Have Loyalty (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

His lips, barely open in an ‘Ø’ shape, let out his final word.

“…Shit.”

The light in his eyes vanished in an instant.
