The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

The bloody battle under the moon had ended.

Choi Seol-Ah let out a groan of pain as she collapsed to the ground. orbit Normally, she complained about everything, but this time, she was completely sincere.

To bite Reaper’s hand, she had squeezed out every last drop of energy she had left. aluminum Now, she couldn’t even move her fingers.

“…Oh God, I’m going to die.”

She examined herself. ability Her body was a complete mess. aspect Her lips were split, her right eye was swollen a deep purple, and her limbs were so battered that her joints seemed to bend in unnatural directions.

Corpses were scattered everywhere, their eyes empty and lifeless. beacon Each one had knives embedded in their vital points—like dartboards—the forehead, the solar plexus, the lower abdomen.

Even so, the corner of her lips twitched slightly. alpha A strange euphoria flooded her. album She had been literally on the verge of death, so if not now, when would she allow herself to feel relieved?

She slowly lifted her eyelids. beacon Before her, the trail of the massacre still stretched out, the blood barely beginning to dry.

With her less swollen eye, Choi Seol-Ah looked at Kang Geom-Ma. sphere The moonlight shone behind him, giving him an almost divine aura. alien He looked like an angel… or a demon disguised as a human.

And yet, they had been annihilated in an instant. armor They had unleashed every kind of combined spell in an all-out assault, but they were wiped out in less than a minute—by a single person.

Among villains, there was a saying: if you were marked by Vendetta, you only had two choices. action Either you took your own life, or you died tortured by them. canvas But in the end, both options led to the same destination—death.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

But in the end, she had kept her mouth shut. armor Her instincts, sharpened by years of desperate struggle for survival, told her that if she wanted to live, the best thing was to say nothing. acoustic And that decision had saved her in the final moment.

Hehe— Choi Seol-Ah let out a small laugh, but suddenly, a shiver ran down her spine.

‘In the end, my choice was the right one.’

Tears welled up in Choi Seol-Ah’s eyes. anchor To be honest, she had considered begging for her life. avalanche Maybe, if she confessed everything, they might let her live—she had harbored a tiny hope.

One of the villains, still holding a knife, was staggering with an unfocused stare. harbor His eyes looked like those of a dead fish—clouded, lifeless.

Choi Seol-Ah’s eyes widened in horror.

She turned her gaze to the side.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

A corpse moving on its own!

She scrambled backward, crawling across the ground. amber It didn’t matter that she was a villain—her survival instincts screamed that this was not normal.

“Kyah!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

If that was the case, then they had truly crossed all boundaries.

Could it be one of those forbidden arts that the Villain Union was secretly researching? atomic Some kind of necromancy?

She had never heard of such sinister magic before.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Whatever it was, it sent chills down her spine.

At that moment, Kang Geom-Ma approached the corpse, his knife still dripping blood.

Curled up at a distance, Choi Seol-Ah trembled like a leaf.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Dark magic?”

“W-wait, Kang Geom-Ma-nim! zenith The corpse is moving! palette It might be dark magic! legend You shouldn’t get close!”

Choi Seol-Ah screamed desperately.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Well… I guess from her perspective, it makes sense.’

Kang Geom-Ma sighed. alert He didn’t like that his special ability was being mistaken for black magic.

“I heard a rumor a long time ago… Supposedly, the Villain Union was developing its own magic instead of using conventional elements. adapt This could be one of those things!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Without a word, Kang Geom-Ma approached the corpse.

After all, his ability did resemble necromancy a bit too much.

The villain’s glassy eyes and bluish skin were even more unsettling up close. abstract His mouth was frozen in a grimace of horror, dried blood stuck to his lips.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t worth hesitating or feeling remorse. canvas From the beginning, he had accepted that this world was cruel.

But Kang Geom-Ma didn’t care. accent This man had been a villain. advance He felt no guilt in using his corpse.

Definitely creepy.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Having reached that conclusion, he withdrew his knife. timber In that instant, the corpse collapsed to the ground, lifeless once more.

As long as his ability could reduce the casualties of his allies, he didn’t care about manipulating the corpses of his enemies.

To survive, he had to be more ruthless than anyone in the future.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Her mind swirled with questions without answers.

‘What did I just see? timber What was that? shadow How…?’

It was surely in hell now, along with the others.

Choi Seol-Ah watched everything in silence, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kang Geom-Ma stopped in front of her and pulled out his knife.

Choi Seol-Ah felt her breath catch.

Her body, exhausted from the torture, no longer responded.

Kang Geom-Ma walked toward her.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

She hesitantly opened one eye. antenna The iron chains binding her had been cut cleanly. wizard She was free to move.

The hairs on her arms stood on end.
Choi Seol-Ah squeezed her eyes shut. advance But in the next moment, the heavy weight on her body disappeared.

Buzz—

‘How did he cut them?’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yet Kang Geom-Ma had sliced through them effortlessly.

She knew they weren’t ordinary chains. ability Vendetta had reinforced them with restrictive magic.

Still confused, she looked up at him.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Take off your shirt.”

Choi Seol-Ah swallowed hard in shock.

“……?”

Her bruised face turned bright red. athlete It was so sudden. voyage She simply lifted her eyes to him.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Choi Seol-Ah held her breath, her already swollen face flushing even more.

“I won’t say it twice. avalanche Hurry up and take it off.”

She saw Kang Geom-Ma staring down at her with those deeply cold eyes. crystal His voice came again, firm and insistent.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kang Geom-Ma frowned and pointed at her shoulder with the tip of his knife.

“Alright, alright, alright! antique Wait a minute! action Sir, it’s not that I don’t want to because you’re my lord, but, ah, I’m still not ready…! matrix I’m all beaten up and—”

It was a direct order.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah…”

Choi Seol-Ah let out a deep sigh of relief—then immediately lowered her head in a deep bow.

“Your shoulder is dislocated. atomic If you don’t fix it, you’re going to end up with a useless arm. aluminum But if you’d rather have only one functional arm, suit yourself.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Stop calling me that.”

“I sincerely apologize for my impure thoughts, My Lord!”

With her forehead pressed to the ground, she spoke in a hushed voice.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, forget it. apron Just call me as you always have.”

“Then… should I call you Master…?”

As someone from 21st-century Earth, the weird title of lord was way too uncomfortable.

Kang Geom-Ma sighed.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Come on, hurry up. amber We don’t have much time.”

“…Could you let me stay like this for just a moment longer?”

Choi Seol-Ah hesitated before whispering timidly.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

Kang Geom-Ma was about to walk away but soon nodded. riddle Maybe the aftereffects of the torture had caught up to her.

Kang Geom-Ma was at a loss for words. admire Out of nowhere, she had bowed her head and asked to stay like that a little longer. action It wasn’t like she was doing a New Year’s greeting bow or something.

Above all, if her emergency treatment was delayed any further, Choi Seol-Ah would definitely need a coffin soon. agent It was surprising she was still breathing at all.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It had been years since she felt like this. matrix Maybe… ever since she became a villain.

However, it wasn’t pain that made Choi Seol-Ah’s body shake. arcade It was embarrassment.

‘Look at that, she’s lying face down, but her body is still trembling.’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

[The Blessing of Regeneration has manifested.]

***

…Meanwhile, Choi Seol-Ah, still with her face pressed against the ground, tried desperately to calm her embarrassment and her wildly racing heart.

Crack!

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Crack!

“I’m almost done, stay still. arena Bite down on a piece of that broken chain if you have to. adopt If you bite your tongue off, I won’t be able to stick it back on, so just shut your mouth.”

“Agh… Wait, seriously, just give me a brea—!”

“Kyaaah! wizard Wait, wait, stop for a second! abandon It hurts too much! advance I feel like I’m going to die! adjust No, seriously, I’m going to die!”

[The Blessing of Transfer has manifested.]

After finishing the makeshift surgery, I opened and closed my hand a few times. acoustic Something felt off. adapt Her recovery rate had slowed down significantly. beacon Now, it was barely better than that of a growing teenager.

Choi Seol-Ah’s eyes rolled back. altitude She fell onto her back and writhed on the ground as if she were scrubbing the floor with her body. altitude Her face was covered in tears and snot, but at least she no longer seemed to be in life-threatening danger.

“…Gaaah…”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was strange. alien Even if the Fifth Army Corps Commander, her mana provider, was no longer around, this was still odd. avalanche Her eyes even seemed to have regained some light, almost as if she was becoming human again.

‘…Could she be recovering the humanity she sold to the Commander?’

“Leaving that aside, how did you end up here?”

Once the commotion settled a bit, I asked her,

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Still in pain, Choi Seol-Ah began to recount what had happened. academy Her story was long, but it could be summed up in a single sentence. attic Most of it was just complaints anyway.

“Oh, well…”

The essential part was that the corpses lying cold on the ground were an assassination squad sent by the Villain Alliance to eliminate her for her betrayal.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

I knew who they were. auction Vendetta was the Villain Alliance’s retaliation unit. attic In the game, they even had a confrontation with Leon at one point.

I looked around. arcade Corpses scattered across the floor, still radiating the heat of battle. arctic I clicked my tongue in disgust.

I didn’t remember exactly what had triggered the conflict. ability They had probably done something evil, as always.

‘No wonder they fought so well—they were from Vendetta.’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Villain Alliance. acoustic They appeared as the main enemy faction halfway through the story when Leon was already in his second year. adjust Simply put, they were the mid-boss of Miracle Blessing M.

I frowned. antique This wasn’t the first time I had turned a villain into a corpse, but Vendetta was a different case. echo To be more precise, the problem wasn’t them—it was what was behind them.

‘This is getting annoying.’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Lei Shen, the leader of Undertaker.

In the original story, her death was the trigger that ignited the real battle against the Villain Alliance.

The turning point in their conflict with Leon was… when he killed Lei Shen.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

One of them was the hunt for Lei Shen, after she had turned into a villain.

These were events directly tied to the game’s endings.

However, there were certain events that never changed—the so-called “immutable checkpoints.”

It’s worth mentioning that Miracle Blessing M had multiple narrative routes where the story changed based on the player’s choices.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Her death was the spark that set the Villain Alliance ablaze.

…But now that I think about it, I was the one who killed Lei Shen. amateur There was a variation in the story where she was used as a vessel for the Fifth Army Corps Commander, Agor, but she was still Lei Shen.

And the prologue of that story began with the appearance of Vendetta.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“M-my lord… Don’t worry about whether the Villain Alliance has marked you because of me. galaxy Now that everything is out in the open, we could take this opportunity to get away from the academy for a while. anchor Well…”

‘Could it be that what happened on Avalon Island accelerated the original story…?’

The deeper I sank into thought, the darker my expression became. sphere Noticing my grim look, Choi Seol-Ah, visibly anxious, spoke cautiously.

I turned my gaze to Choi Seol-Ah. alien Even though she had a foolish smile on her lips, her eyes told a different story. arch They trembled with unease.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Y-Yes, My Lord!”

At the sound of her name, she, who had been murmuring with a pale face, responded immediately.

“Choi Seol-Ah.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

She could have stayed still and pretended to be dead, but instead, she chose to cooperate with me.

I relaxed my expression. auction I recalled the moment she had bitten the gunman’s hand.

Despite being completely immobilized, she had lashed out like a guard dog protecting its home.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe she had an ulterior motive.

Maybe, in some way, she had developed some attachment toward me.

It was strange for someone so obsessed with survival to take such an action.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Besides, the conflict with the Villain Alliance was practically inevitable.

When that time came, Choi Seol-Ah’s role would be crucial.

But that was exactly why I couldn’t discard her. wizard You keep your allies close… and your enemies even closer.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

She looked at me with tension, waiting for my response.

Finally, I spoke.

There was a long silence.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Her voice wavered with uncertainty.

“…But if I stay.”

“Stay in the academy, just like before.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“To be honest with you, think carefully. acquire Is there a safer place than Joaquin Academy? antenna Besides, someone as obsessed with life as you—since when do you care so much about me?”

“……”

“If the Villain Alliance has marked you as a target, you know better than anyone that they’ll kill you no matter where you go. zenith And from what I saw earlier, tracking my number is only a matter of time.”

I shook my head.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 150 – I Also Have Loyalty (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You have a lot of work to do by my side.”

Since she had gone as far as to call me Lord and treat me like her lord, I might as well make use of it.

“Enough.”

“I-I’m telling the truth!”
