My On*Hole Academy [EN]: Chapter 438

EP.436 Say You Want to Live!

*

As soon as Shinse ran out into the dark street, she regretted it.

Anxiously, she lowered her head, sticking close to the walls and darting around corners, afraid people would recognize her.

Doo-geun. Doo-geun. Doo-geun.

After repeating this several times, she grew afraid of encountering people and hid in a public restroom in the park.

I need to go back to the textbook…….

‘…….’

I was caught again.

It’s not the first time Shinse’s desire for destruction has been exposed.

The counselors at the Correction Headquarters and the clever guards already knew.

Shinse’s consideration comes from carving away at herself.

The saintess’s benevolence is just a mask she desperately wears.

Shinse wants to punish herself.

She wants to push herself to the limit, envisioning herself dying for others.

「It’s unfortunate you went through such a big accident, but if it’s the Saintess who ran away with the children from the monster’s lair back then」

I was caught.

Kim Sanghyuk knew.

If she had been desperate to prevent the children from being sacrificed, she wouldn’t have been playing the role of a nanny there for years.

She would have tried to escape somehow.

The monster’s timely attack meant that a perfect opportunity had come for her to sacrifice herself for the children.

It was Kim Sanghyuk who saved her, lying soaked in blood.

Even if it’s hypocrisy, good is good.

And if it’s to the point of burning one’s own life, no one would think it’s fake.

Accept it.

The Saintess simply accepts it.

If Kim Sanghyuk had treated her like a pushover and openly used her like a maid, she would have accepted that too.

‘Ah….’

Tears fell in drops onto the pretty clothes she received from Sanghyuk.

“I was caught….”

Even though I’m actually thinking, 「I want to live.」

The end she wants for herself as the Saintess is to rot and decay while receiving nearly a hundred years’ worth of pain, becoming like a living Buddha [a person who has attained enlightenment through extreme asceticism].

It’s not that she wants to live shamelessly, sacrificing and selling out others because she found life at the textbook academy uncomfortable for a year.

She must be punished.

She must atone.

To give her some sympathy, Shinse has only ever been surrounded by people who want to use her.

「You just need to put on pretty makeup and smile in the background.」

The first perpetrator, her mother.

「Your quality drops when you’re stressed? What a pain.」

The second perpetrator, Chunwon.

「But it’s good because you make a lot of money.」

「The boss also really likes the drugs you make.」

「Just sitting still and spreading disaster all over the world, you really are the best Saintess, enough to make even non-believers sprout faith.」

“Huk…….”

A woman whose very existence is “harmful.”

The defense mechanism she adopted was “to be endlessly harmless.”

This was sickness itself.

Swish, swish.

Wiping away the tear marks, Shinse had that thought as she left the restroom.

“Come to think of it, I wore these pretty clothes…….”

I need to return them.

The moment she stepped out of the park restroom, a black cloth was thrown over her head.

“Mmph!!”

“Come with me.”

“Mmph, mmph!!”

She tried to use her powers to escape, but in the midst of struggling, Shinse hit the person’s head.

‘A gas mask!?’

And a special gas mask to counter Shinse’s abilities……!!

Shinse was soon dragged to an old warehouse she didn’t recognize, and she trembled with her head bowed.

“Didn’t Kim Sanghyuk mark her?”

“Yes, but for some reason, she walked out on her own…… So we caught her right away, Boss.”

“…….”

Bo…ss……?

Shinse tried to lift her head but was hit on the back of the head.

“Keep your head down!!”

She saw it.

Just for a moment, the beautifully flowing red hair.

She was also wearing a gas mask.

“Her product value will drop. Don’t hit her.”

“Yes!”

‘The Black Star Society…….’

The organization Chunwon belonged to.

The Korean branch was definitely dissolved, wasn’t it?

With a pressure that seemed to crush the air, she realized.

It’s the boss……!

The real boss of the Black Star Society in China!

‘She was in Korea….’

She was targeting me.

But strangely, Shinse felt relieved.

She could sacrifice herself so that Kim Sanghyuk could be safe.

Thinking like that…….

“You insolent thing. Why are you smiling in this situation?”

“……Aren’t you going to use me anyway?”

“Maybe it’s because you’ve been used as a product for so long, but you have a very good attitude.”

The red-haired boss, squatting in front of the Saintess, grabbed her hair and made her lift her head.

“You would have been safe if you had stayed with Kim Sanghyuk. We couldn’t approach him because he was like a huge mountain.”

“……Hmph.”

Shinse trembled and laughed.

“T, that perverted hero who only knows women… I refuse to have anything to do with him!”

“I see. So the rumors about him being a womanizer were true? You were asked for sexual favors…….”

“……I’d rather keep eating what I’ve already been eating [enduring the current situation].”

“……Heh.”

Her face couldn’t be seen because it was covered by the gas mask, but.

The boss laughed slightly, as if amused.

Shinse laughed along.

‘It’s okay, Sanghyuk and I…… are just separated now.’

At that moment when she had given up on everything.

“This bitch.”

“Ack!”

The boss began to press down on Shinse’s eyelids with her fingers.

“If you like being treated like an object so much, should I start by plucking out your eyeballs and cutting off your limbs, then turn you into a pig?”

“Hic, hic…!!”

Scary… scary…….

Scary!!

This person is much, much more than Chunwon…….

Shinse trembled. It wasn’t just a simple threat; the woman in front of her had an overwhelming presence that made it clear she would do it right away.

The eyes of a human who has stained their hands with evil as naturally as breathing pierced through Shinse.

Shinse had tried to escape several times.

But she was too scared, so she couldn’t…….

“Ugh, Boss…. This one…….”

“Goodness. She just got scared and had an accident [incontinent].”

“……Hahaha!”

“The boss is a bit scary, isn’t she?”

“Take her eyeballs and take her back to the home country.”

“Yes!”

It was then.

“Get away from the Saintess!”

“Ah……!”

Viness appeared from the corner of the old warehouse, her blonde hair flying.

The bishop of Hampuhre Church!

Tone, Junseong, and Viness, dressed in white as if to say that they were the ones protecting the Saintess, confronted the Black Star Society branch.

The boss sighed.

“So that was the tail that was following us?”

“……It seems so?”

“I thought Kim Sanghyuk would show us something. Was he really just a perverted hero? How absurd…….”

“What should we do?”

“Bring her to me.”

When the Saintess was released from the textbook academy.

Of course, the Black Star Society paid attention to that fact and even tracked her, but they couldn’t easily touch her.

This was because Kim Sanghyuk openly marked her and even put a double tail on her, showing meticulousness.

‘Indeed, S-class heroes are different.’

She had heard that there was a big gap between the heroes in her home country—China, from her perspective—and the heroes in Korea.

She had thought that there wasn’t much of a difference when it came to S-class heroes.

But.

What intervened were the remnants of the Hampuhre Church, which was known to have already been dissolved.

The boss’s disappointment was immense.

A brawl broke out as the organization members became entangled and fought each other, but the outcome was quickly decided.

“Cough!”

“Ugh…… Strong……!”

The boss’s bodyguards. Their average stats were 600.

She had dozens of elite combatants who wouldn’t be out of place guarding the President of the United States.

They quickly subdued them with simple martial arts without showing off any special abilities.

“Viness!”

“Kuh……!”

The blonde woman held out a little longer.

But that was only for a moment. She was surrounded, beaten thoroughly, and rolled on the floor.

The boss’s eyes were coldly dead.

The story of a hero who appears to save someone in danger, neatly saves everyone, and punishes evil is only possible in fairy tales.

In reality, only stronger violence wins.

The three people were dragged and thrown down in front of the boss.

Tone and Junseong were beaten almost to the point of breaking their limbs, and Viness was a woman, so she was only hit in the face a few times.

“Release the Saintess…. She’s not someone you can treat carelessly……. Cough…….”

“Is this all…….”

“It seems so.”

“No. I’m still here.”

A man walks out of the darkness with a woman.

‘What!?’

A-class villain, “Flame Witch” Shirin, and a man leading her out.

S-class hero, Ona Hole Man [Kim Sanghyuk’s hero name, likely a play on words].

“……How long have you been there?”

“I’ve been watching from the beginning?”

‘Something’s wrong.’

The boss immediately recognized that Kim Sanghyuk’s appearance was an anomaly.

His ability is teleportation?

It doesn’t make sense that everyone missed Kim Sanghyuk’s group’s presence.

“Are you the Black Star Society boss? I hope what I caught on the bait was a big one.”

“You bastard! How dare you to speak to the boss like that!”

“Stop. Don’t bark.”

At that moment,

the boss, who had calmed down the aggressive organization members, slowly took off her gas mask.

A breathtakingly beautiful face.

The sight of her red hair and golden eyes wide open was like a phoenix itself.

A woman who seemed like she should be in the imperial family, transcending eras, was the boss of such a dirty criminal organization.

Such a fact felt unnatural because of her beautiful appearance.

Kim Sanghyuk also stared blankly for a moment.

“I came to work~.”

Only after Shirin grabbed his arm and shook it did he come to his senses.

“Ah…. That’s right. I came to work.”

“We don’t intend to fight you. We want you to hand over the Saintess.”

The boss desperately racked her brain.

The opponent’s ability is unknown.

「Kim Sanghyuk」 is an academy student, but Essol Academy is not an ordinary school. The top students are monsters among monsters who are loved by external gods….

Although it was unknown, Kim Sanghyuk’s ability was actually very famous.

「Personality Excretion」

It’s just that the detailed method of how he sticks it to villains hasn’t been revealed.

It was an ability that could make any villain or boss of a dark organization tremble.

If you’ve ever seen a villain pouring jelly out of their asshole on TikTok and being neutralized,

it’s normal not to think about rushing in recklessly.

Extremely calmly.

“You won’t gain anything even if you take this woman, will you?”

“Help me….”

Viness shouted.

“Help me! Kim Sanghyuk. The Saintess……! I’ll do anything!”

“Shut up. The boss is talking, why are you interrupting……!”

Crack!

One of the Black Star Society’s combatants stomped on Viness’s hand.

“Ah!”

“…….”

“Shirin.”

Whirr!

Flames flowed out like silk from near Shirin’s body. It was an incredibly precise magic.

In an instant, the flames rose like a dancing dragon over the combatants who were all retreating, wrapping around and engulfing the body of the combatant who had attacked Viness.

“Ugh, ugh! Boss!!”

Whirr!

One of the combatants turned to charcoal and collapsed.

“Don’t think I’m particularly favoring a specific religion. It’s just that I prioritize protecting pretty women over men.”

“Boss, save me…….”

“Rather, I’m sorry.”

Bang!

The boss shot a musket bullet into the head of the combatant who had fallen and was begging for his life.

“I haven’t been in Korea for long. I’m having a hard time expanding my business with even someone who doesn’t know the situation like this.”

The boss quietly looked at Kim Sanghyuk.

She thought he was a man whose end could not be known.

The protection of his body by magic was rather crude and clumsy compared to the woman using flames next to him, but she felt an energy that could not be underestimated.

His relaxed expression and attitude seemed to say that he could turn the situation around at any time.

‘It’s evidence that he has already set up his escape route and at least a setup to inflict fatal damage on me in this situation.’

The opponent also knows the terrain well.

Perhaps there are already traps that Kim Sanghyuk has laid in this old warehouse, which was chosen impromptu.

“Is the hero business going smoothly?”

“I’m watching now. If there’s someone asking for help, I’ll help them…. If not, I’m going to end the patrol here today.”

Twitch.

Shinse’s shoulders trembled.

“It sounds like you’re willing to hand over the Saintess to me.”

“If the Saintess doesn’t want to be rescued by a perverted hero like me, there’s nothing I can do. These days, PC [politically correct] and stuff, it’s such a scary world.”

“……Hoo….”

“What do you think, Shinse.”

She immediately said, tearfully.

“Please help me!!”

“Good to hear. Louder!”

“Please help me! I want to live!! Please don’t let me be dragged away by scary people. Please!”

“Hoo…….”

The atmosphere inside the warehouse changed.

“Give up and go back today, Boss.”

“……It seems like the location isn’t good, so I’ll find you properly prepared next time.”

“Boss! If you just give the order, I…….”

“No. We’re going back.”

Fighting Kim Sanghyuk here is a losing move.

The boss turned away from the warehouse without regret.

“Let’s go back. It’s time to sleep.”

“…….”

Shinse, who was helped up, lowered her head with a reddened face.

Seeing that the area near her jeans was wet and noticeable, Sanghyuk took off his coat and wrapped it around her waist.

Shinse’s ears turned even redder as she received such consideration.

“You want to live, right.”

“…Yes…. I want to live, I want to live….”

“Let’s go back. There’s warm bathwater. Ah, you guys go back on your own.”

“…….”

The Hampuhre Church trio stared blankly at Sanghyuk’s group.

‘He really saved her.’

He judged that fighting such a strong organization would have been disadvantageous, just by talking…….

Viness shuddered.

“We, we will visit you again. Saintess!”

“……Do you know them?”

“……Yes.”

“First, let’s listen to that story slowly tomorrow….”

Nod….

Excluding her parents, this is the first time she has shown her bottom [vulnerable side] to someone like this.

Whenever she was in danger, this man was there.

Shinse couldn’t hide her fluttering heart as she looked at Sanghyuk’s reliable back.

‘……Ugh…….’

She tells herself that it’s because she was so surprised,

but the trembling of her heart doesn’t stop.

“I need to punish you for peeing your pants….”

Startled.

Shinse looked at Kim Sanghyuk, who was muttering such words softly, and stammered with her mouth open.

“Ah, aah…….”

“I’m just kidding.”

“Sniff……. I’ll wash it myself and return it.”

“It’s okay. Let Sona do it.”

Back home again.

Ona Hole Man finished his long day and went home from work.
