Chapter: 40

He then crept up to the bed near the window that was covered with a curtain and pulled it open.

There was a boy lying down on the bed. He was asleep. The 23rd cadet mumbled, “Don’t blame me. I’m only doing this to save myself.”

He then placed the knife at Yeowun’s foot muscle. He was going to cut it so that Yeowun couldn’t walk.

When he placed the knife on Yeowun’s leg, Nano spoke to Yeowun.

[Sensing hostile action on the user’s leg muscle. Activating self-defense mode.]

“W-what?! Nnngaaaaaargh!”

The 23rd cadet screamed from the powerful electric shock that came through the knife and fell down with all of his hair burnt. Chun Yeowun then opened his eyes and murmured as he looked down at the cadet.

“As I expected.”

In the hospital room in the main building of the Demonic Academy, near midnight...

“Nngh...”

The 23rd cadet woke up after fainting from the electric shock. His body shivered from the aftermath, and all he remembered was that he had been stunned by an unknown force while trying to cut Chun Yeowun’s leg.

‘W-why did I pass out?’

He looked around, but he was still in the medical room.

‘What is going on?’

He glanced around and felt that it was weird. The cadet normally could feel the hair that touched his shoulder, but when he moved around, he couldn’t feel any.

“...No. It can’t be.”

He couldn’t feel any of his hair. The cadet then got up and tried to find a mirror, but before he could get up, a powerful force pushed him back down on the bed.

“Ugh!”

There was no damage to his muscles, but his wounds were sewed with a needle, so the pain still lingered. He then looked down at his body. There was a rope that tied him down to the bed. He couldn’t get out of it no matter how hard he tried.

“W-who tied me down here?!”

“Me.”

The curtain was pulled and someone appeared. It was Chun Yeowun. The 23rd cadet became shocked and gasped”H-how did you?!”

“How? You passed out, so I put you back in bed.”

“Passed out?!”

So what he thought was correct. He then became concerned about the whole situation. Chun Yeowun, who should be in bed due to his internal injuries, was walking around just fine. Not to mention, he had tied him down to the bed. And of course, there was his hair too.

“W-where’s my hair?!”

“Oh, yeah. You’re bald now.”

Yeowun grinned and the 23rd cadet writhed, trying to scream.

“No- NO!! I can’t be- NO! Me? Bald?! NO!”

“Shut up.”
