Chapter 145: 145
"… hey, isn't that Jin Yuha!!!"
"I, I saw that video… the one where he tears apart the limbs of the demons…"
"Are we fucked or what?! Hey, Kim Hyeji!! What are we gonna do?! You said the Utopia party wouldn't come here!!!"
A man with a beautiful appearance emerged from behind Lee Yoo-ri, who had rushed over.
As he appeared, Kim Hyeji's group widened their eyes in surprise.
But none were as serious as Kim Hyeji, whose wrist was still being held by Lee Yoo-ri.
Goosebumps ran down her spine.
'Why, why is the leader of Utopia here…!! wasn't she not the type to ask for help from others!!?'
Moreover, he wasn't alone.
There was a woman with green hair and large breasts, and another with a model-like figure and golden hair that shimmered.
"Heeeek, heeeek, my junior is too fast…!"
"Huaaa… she's really too fast."
But.
"Hey, why are you spacing out?"
Lee Yoo-ri's cold voice brought her gaze back.
"I'm asking you, were you trying to hit my little sister?"
"That's not it, I, I was just going to pat her head…"
Kim Hyeji answered, drenched in cold sweat.
Lee Yoo-ri let out a disbelieving laugh.
"are these your last words?"
At that moment, Jin Yuha stepped forward from behind.
"Hey, Jin Yuha."
"Yeah?"
"Don't get involved. I'll take care of these bitches."
Jin Yuha responded with a snort of laughter, as if to say, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Why would I get involved?"
He turned his gaze to the little girl and boy standing behind Lee Yoo-ri.
"Yuna, long time no see?"
At this, Lee Yuna, who had been standing there dumbfounded, widened her eyes and replied in a delighted voice.
"Oppa Yuha!"
"Come here. Bring your little brother too."
"Yes!"
Jin Yuha took care of Lee Yoo-ri's siblings and stepped back.
"Soup, I'll be watching from behind, so do your best."
"..."
And so, Lee Yoo-ri's special education session began.
.
.
.
Whoosh—
Thud!
"Ugh!"
"Yikes!"
"Oof!"
Lee Yoo-ri threw Kim Hyeji, still holding onto her wrist, towards the group.
As Kim Hyeji's body collided with them, their formation became disorganized.
"Wow, I didn't expect you guys to be here too. Is today a high school reunion or something? Long time no see?"
Only then did Lee Yoo-ri realize who was gathered there, and she spoke while cracking her knuckles.
The others in front of her were the same trash who had always bullied her during her school days.
Lee Yoo-ri wanted to attend school as quietly as possible, so she endured their bullying.
Pouring out dirty water in the bathroom, soaking textbooks in milk, writing 'beggar girl' on her desk, ostracizing her, spitting in her food tray, and hitting her head whenever they felt like it.
It was textbook bullying, as if it was straight out of a movie.
Of course, the situation had reversed when they had dared to bring up her little sister and family, and she hadn't held back since then.
But that didn't erase the memories of what had happened before.
"Didn't I say that I hoped I wouldn't have to see your faces again after graduation?"
As if their previous gossip about Lee Yoo-ri had been a lie, they now trembled like rabbits in front of a tiger.
"Y, Yoo-ri, tha, that…"
"I'm sorry!"
"We, we just…"
"Ugh…"
Then, Lee Yoo-ri looked at Kim Hyeji, who was getting up, and realized something.
"Ah, that's right. Kim Hyeji was also in cahoots with you guys?"
"No, that's not it! In fact, Kim Hyeji was the one who…"
"Yeah, Yoo-ri! It was all Kim Hyeji's idea, both this time and in high school! She made us do it!"
Lee Yoo-ri felt a sense of emptiness.
'Damn it. No wonder. Every time I got bullied, that bitch was always missing… so that was how it was?'
She and Kim Hyeji had been friends for a long time. Although Kim Hyeji was selfish and they didn't always see eye to eye, Lee Yoo-ri had considered her a friend because she had stuck by her even during the bullying and they had spent a lot of time together. Even after graduation, they had continued to hang out in the same social circle.
Lee Yoo-ri had thought of her as a friend, so when Kim Hyeji had begged her, she hadn't taken any other action despite losing a large sum of money. It had been her way of repaying Kim Hyeji for not turning her back on her.
'But now it turns out that Hyeji was the one instigating everything?'
To be honest, the reason she had been so angry when she heard Kim Hyeji's name from the neighborhood kid was probably because, deep down, she had still trusted her.
She thought she had cut ties after the dangerous gate raid when their trust had been unilaterally broken, and again when Kim Hyeji had stolen from her family and kidnapped her siblings. But it seemed she hadn't completely let go.
The sense of betrayal churned in her stomach, and she felt so disappointed from being slapped in the face that she couldn't even swear.
In a way, she was even grateful to Kim Hyeji for giving her a reason to cut off her lingering attachment so cleanly.
Lee Yoo-ri took a heavy step towards them.
.
.
.
Smack!
Smack!
Smack!
"Ugh!"
"Ahh!"
"Save me!"
"I'm sorry!!!"
Lee Yoo-ri beat them up one-sidedly.
"She's ruthless."
"My junior is a scary person…"
"Take your hands off me! Oppa!"
"Bro, get your hands off me!"
Jin Yuha covered Lee Yuna and her little brother's eyes. It wasn't exactly an educational scene for children.
Lee Yoo-ri dominated her opponents without even holding her shield, relying solely on her fists.
Of course, as a top-tier tanker, Lee Yoo-ri had focused all her stats on defense, so her damage-dealing abilities were lacking. That was why, at first, the bullies thought they could take her on since it was four against one. But Lee Yoo-ri dodged all their attacks and countered with relentless blows.
Whenever they showed any sign of trying to escape, she immediately deployed her mana.
"Shit… I said I'm sorry!!!"
Lee Yoo-ri's skills had improved to the point where she could use her mana to taunt these pathetic opponents without even needing to wield her shield.
No matter how weak Lee Yoo-ri's attack power was, and despite the fact that these bullies were experienced hunters, what would happen if they were relentlessly beaten for hours on end?
Haaak—
Haaak—
"Huaaaahhh…"
"Uuueeek!"
"I, I made a mistake…"
"I'm soorrrry… ple, please spare me…"
Their bodies were bruised and battered, teeth missing, a pitiful sight.
And among them, the one who had suffered the most was a short-haired girl named Kim Hyeji.
She lay on the ground, trembling, but still refused to admit defeat, lifting her head and glaring defiantly.
"Do you… do you think you'll get away with this?!?!?"
Kim Hyeji shouted, blood dripping from her mouth.
"What?"
Lee Yoo-ri's expressionless face twitched slightly.
"Do you think you'll get away with this?!?!?"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You! You're a student of Velvet Academy, responsible for the safety of the citizens!!!"
As Lee Yoo-ri paused her beating, Kim Hyeji seized the opportunity to regain some composure and shouted with veins popping out of her neck.
"But if it gets out on the internet and the news that a student of Velvet Academy beat up civilians like this! What will you do then?!?!?"
I, who had been watching from behind, couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation.
'Wow, this person is hilarious. Anyone would think she's not a hunter herself.'
From the start, if you mess with a hunter's family, you're asking for death.
Just then, a notification popped up on my phone, and I couldn't help but snicker.
"I'm going to spread what happened today all over the news and the internet. I'm going to expose the truth about Utopia to the world!!!!!!!!!!"
Stomp.
Stomp.
"Go ahead."
I stepped forward and spoke to her.
"What?"
Kim Hyeji looked surprised, perhaps not expecting me to step in.
"Do everything you can, and everything you want to do."
"Jin… Yuha…"
Lee Yoo-ri grabbed my wrist, a little flustered. I turned to look at her, puzzled.
"What? You're actually worried that she might do it?"
"…"
Lee Yoo-ri closed her mouth.
"Wow, I can't believe you're worried about such an empty threat."
I turned back to Kim Hyeji and squatted in front of her.
"Go ahead and report it to the media, post it online, send it to the news, spread rumors, do everything you can. But I doubt it'll work."
Whoosh—
I planted Moonlight in front of her eyes.
"Hiiiiik!"
"Not a single person will believe you."
Kim Hyeji's eyes, looking up at me, trembled like an aspen tree.
"Why? Because I can make it happen. I have the power to do so. If my power isn't enough, I'll borrow the power of Cheonhwa, Fighting Dog, and even the Chairman to make it happen."
"Why, why would you go that far for a bitch like her!!!"
As Kim Hyeji shouted, blood flew from her mouth and landed on his cheek.
Swish—
I wiped my face with my arm.
"I just received some information about you. You've committed a total of 3,154 crimes so far: fraud, assault, extortion, and so on. It's surprising you haven't been caught yet. Lucky, huh?"
"…"
"And now, as a student of Velvet Academy, the sole tanker of Utopia, you dared to mess with Yoo-ri's family and even kidnapped and assaulted them. And threatened them."
"Wh, what are you talking about?! That's not true!"
Of course, the kidnapping and assault on her family were not true, but it could easily be framed that way.
"And let me ask you one more thing. Did our Soup ever bully you in school?"
