Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss-Chapter 88: Delivering the News
"Disappear."
With Lee Ha-yeon’s cold declaration, a massive beam of light descended from the sky.
BOOOOM!!!
The blinding flash and resulting explosion were overwhelming, shaking the ground with its force.
The attack was powerful enough to engulf not only its target but also the caster, had she been nearby without proper defenses. Yet, Lee Ha-yeon had executed such a destructive move because she trusted Han Se-hee’s defensive barrier to protect her.
As with any mana-based attack, the point of impact bore the brunt of the damage, while the subsequent explosion was merely residual. The barrier Han Se-hee had erected easily absorbed the remaining shockwaves.
"Ha-yeon, you’ve gotten really strong," Han Se-hee remarked, genuinely impressed.
The light Lee Ha-yeon summoned not only obliterated the fake Baek Seo-jin without a trace but also generated an enormous explosion. Han Se-hee’s barrier had withstood the aftershocks, but she knew it would have taken significant effort to block a direct hit from such an attack.
This realization also highlighted how much her own defensive capabilities had improved.
During their five years of training under Baek Seo-jun, both women had grown immensely strong.
[You have defeated your enemy. Please wait in this area until the remaining 37 minutes and 18 seconds have elapsed.]
Reading the words hovering in midair, Lee Ha-yeon and Han Se-hee realized they now had some extra time.
"Looks like we finished the class early," Han Se-hee said.
"Yeah. I guess it was designed with the assumption that it would take the full 50 minutes to finish the fight," Lee Ha-yeon replied.
Between their late start and the time they spent using the fake Baek Seo-jin as a stress-relief punching bag, they had used up about 10 minutes. Considering their 2-minute delay, it was clear the original plan allowed for a 50-minute session.
"Advance, face an enemy, and fight—it’s straightforward, but now we’ve got time to kill," Se-hee mused.
"Yeah, there’s no need to waste the time just sitting around here," Ha-yeon agreed.
As they discussed their next move, both women felt a familiar hand slide onto their hips. Smiling knowingly, neither was startled by the touch.
If it had been just Ha-yeon, she might have pretended to be surprised. But after what she had learned earlier, she knew that feigning shock would only invite Se-hee’s bold advances. Instead, both women turned toward the source of the touch simultaneously.
Standing before them was Baek Seo-jun, wearing his usual soft smile, with Seomun Ye-jin beside him.

"You both did well. How was the class?" Seo-jun asked.
"It was pretty fun! It would’ve been even more satisfying to crush the real Baek Seo-jin, but at least I got to let off some steam," Ha-yeon replied with enthusiasm.
"Same here. Watching Ha-yeon destroy that fake felt amazing," Se-hee added, a bright smile on her face.
Both women had much pent-up frustration directed at Baek Seo-jin, and their passionate responses earned a chuckle from Seo-jun.
"So, overall, it wasn’t too bad?" he asked.
"Yes!"
"Of course! Your classes are the best, Seo-jun oppa!"
As they laughed together, both women subtly glanced at Seomun Ye-jin, wondering if she had been spending time with Seo-jun while they were fighting. Her calm demeanor confirmed their suspicions—likely, she and Seo-jun had shared an intimate moment during the time they’d been in class.
Given the 10 minutes they spent on their task, Seo-jun and Ye-jin had probably spent 10 hours together inside his 60x time dilation space.
“There’s still over 30 minutes left... which means 30 more hours if we use the same space,” Ha-yeon thought, her body warming at the idea.
The thought of intimacy brought a flush of heat to both Ha-yeon and Se-hee’s faces, their breathing growing subtly heavier. As Seo-jun stroked their golden and pink hair, he spoke again.
"Perfect timing. I just finished what I needed to do. I can spare 20 minutes for you both."
"Yes!"
"Sounds perfect!"
With 10 minutes each equating to 10 hours, there would be plenty of time for both of them, even if they alternated turns.
Seo-jun’s hand slipped under their skirts, his fingers brushing against bare skin. Neither woman had put their panties back on, leaving them exposed and sensitive to his touch.
"Ahn!"
"Hahh!"
Their soft, pretty lips parted as they let out quiet moans. A barrier surrounded them, isolating their moment of passion as their bodies responded to the familiar heat.
***
A few minutes before Baek Seo-jun appeared before Lee Ha-yeon and Han Se-hee, Baek Seo-jin was on high alert. His vigilance turned into clenched teeth and simmering anger as Kim Ho-jun appeared before him, accompanied by Seomun Ye-jin.
"Kim Ho-jun!"
The moment Kim Ho-jun, who had disappeared earlier after making cryptic remarks, reappeared with Seomun Ye-jin in tow, Baek Seo-jin tensed.
Was healing me part of his plan to humiliate me in front of Ye-jin noona?
It dawned on him: the purpose wasn’t to merely show her his broken, defeated state. It was to make her witness his complete and utter destruction in real-time.
"Baek Seo-jin, you were thoroughly defeated in your battle against the opponent simulated for this test. However, I will acknowledge your advancement to the rank of SSS-class during the fight," Kim Ho-jun stated in his usual detached tone.
Baek Seo-jin froze at those words.
It wasn’t real?
If the enemy he had fought earlier was merely a simulation... then he had lost to a fake Kim Ho-jun.
No, that can’t be. He’s trying to throw me off. I won’t fall for his tricks!
Resolving to remain steadfast, Baek Seo-jin turned his gaze toward Seomun Ye-jin, who stood silently at Kim Ho-jun’s side.
Ye-jin noona must think I’m pathetic.
Despite his attempts to steel himself, he couldn’t deny the truth. He had lost to Kim Ho-jun.
Don’t worry, noona. I’ll rescue you. I promise.
He gave her a weak smile, only to see her respond with a look of pure disgust. Her expression seemed haunted, as though she was reliving the torment inflicted upon her by Kim Ho-jun. The sight of her suffering filled Baek Seo-jin with guilt and a sharper pang of despair.
Especially now, after experiencing the sting of defeat, his emotions felt raw and exposed.
She doesn’t believe I can save her...
"What’s your purpose here?" Baek Seo-jin demanded, his voice laced with suspicion. "Did you come to kill me?"
Kim Ho-jun regarded him with indifferent eyes, his gaze cold and condescending. Baek Seo-jin gritted his teeth, gripping his sword tightly.
He wanted nothing more than to charge at Kim Ho-jun and sever his head. But he knew such an action would be reckless—a fool’s suicide. Still, if Kim Ho-jun truly intended to kill him, he wouldn’t go down without a fight.
"You’re as delusional as ever," Kim Ho-jun replied dismissively. "I’m only here to inform you that your performance in this lesson was subpar. Expect low marks."
As he spoke, Kim Ho-jun casually placed his hand around Seomun Ye-jin’s waist. The action was infuriatingly natural, yet it made Baek Seo-jin’s blood boil.
That bastard! How dare he lay his filthy hands on Ye-jin noona!
Seomun Ye-jin averted her eyes from Baek Seo-jin, as though she couldn’t bear to look at him.
If only Se-hee and Ha-yeon were here!
If Han Se-hee and Lee Ha-yeon had been present, they might have been able to join forces and defeat Kim Ho-jun. With their combined strength, even Seomun Ye-jin might have regained hope and fought alongside them.
But in this simulated classroom environment, he had no idea where the others were. It was likely that Kim Ho-jun had deliberately separated them to prevent a coordinated attack.
At least he’s not killing me today.
As Kim Ho-jun turned away, Baek Seo-jin remained on guard, his hatred simmering.
One day, he would destroy this vile man and save Seomun Ye-jin. Now that he had reached the rank of an SSS-class hunter, it was only a matter of becoming a little stronger.
I’m getting closer.
Within the year, Kim Ho-jun would face justice. On that day, Baek Seo-jin would personally deliver judgment with his blade, avenging Seomun Ye-jin.
Not killing me today will be your greatest regret, Kim Ho-jun. You’ll pay for your arrogance.
Though today had ended in defeat, Baek Seo-jin felt a renewed sense of determination. He had confirmed his comrades’ resolve, witnessed Kim Ho-jun’s overconfidence, and tested his own potential.
Just as Kim Ho-jun and Seomun Ye-jin began to vanish, Baek Seo-jin noticed something that left him stunned.
Seomun Ye-jin reached out, taking Kim Ho-jun’s hand and placing it on her lower back.
"Huh?"
Baek Seo-jin stood frozen, staring blankly at the spot where they had disappeared.
