The Unsurpassed Maiden - Chapter 151

Se Heon freezes on his spot. He heard the principal very clearly and although he really loved to run back in front of her and demand for some answers, he remained standing still.

The young man can hear the rushed footsteps of the principal coming his way. Se Heon knows what he did was very crucial, especially to his part as a student, however he would do anything just to know where Mi Young is right now that’s why he made the choice. He knows how the principal values students who have unique and rare body constitutions which is why he said those words in front of her to catch her off guard. And he was right for doing so.

“Mr. Jeon, if you plan to look for Mi Young yourself then you’re making a very dangerous decision. For one, you don’t know where to start looking for her. And two,” The principal pauses at first before she continues her words. However, her next words were almost a whisper, “you don’t know what kind of enemies you’re dealing with.”

“That’s why I was asking for your help earlier Principal Oh. But you kept on pushing and telling me that Mi Young left the academy herself so I have to make a rash and last minute decision to let you spill the truth.” Se Heon says with a stoic expression. Then, with a wicked look reflecting on his icy eyes, he says, “And wow, it indeed worked pretty well.”

The Principal looks ready to strangle him for a second but she made sure to keep herself aclm despite the arrogance and the challenging tone coming out from the younger’s mouth. Principal Oh clears her throat before saying, “Now that you know the dangers that your so-called journey presents, I hope you stop whatever foolish decision you are making such as dropping out from school.”

“For you it may sound foolish but for me, it’s the best I can do in order to help my friend.” Se Heon said in a stern voice filled with determination. His voice leaves no argument behind, a clear sign that his dominant side, the blood of the Jeon’s, is showing. “Besides, you clearly said that the school has nothing to do with this ‘issue’ so I guess you have nothing more to say?”

“Mr. Jeon, for the last time what you are about to do is very dangerous.” Principal Oh presses as he looks at Se Heon with a stern look. She would do anything just to keep the son of the Jeon’s inside the walls of the academy. If another rumor breaks out that another student has gone off the school, it wouldn’t be considered as a coincidence anymore. Students will start to worry, and if students get involved so are their families. And it will result in a huge debate and a lot of rallies outside. Principal Oh would do anything in her power just to keep something like that from happening during her time as a principal of the most prestigious school in the whole kingdom.

“And as I have said, I will do anything to help out a friend. Unlike a certain someone that despite knowing the danger Mi Young is facing, she’s keeping a blind eye just to keep her image good.” Se Heon says. Upon hearing the words coming out from the young student’s mouth, Principal Oh couldn’t stop herself from glaring at the other. She also heard a couple of gasps coming out from Shang Min and Jong In who are just right behind them.

“You are crossing the line, Mr. Jeon. No matter how determined you are to help out your friend, I am still the principal of this school. Thus, I still have authority over you.” Principal Oh says while still glaring at the young man.

However, it seems that Se Heon doesn’t have any plans on backing down from his plan. He even took one step forward and leans a little bit so he can be face to face with the principal. With a challenging voice, Se Heon opens his mouth and says, “You can’t do anything to a student who has already dropped out.”

“I still haven’t signed your drop out form.”

“I don’t need any drop out forms if I will break rule #4 in our academy’s official rules.” Se Heon says with a smirk. This immediately shut the principal. She was left dumbfounded while staring at the young student.

Principal Oh might have only known this young man for a year and a half and she had seen how this certain student doesn’t give any f*ck about anything inside the academy. The only time she saw the younger student so interested and determined was during his battle with Mi Young and today where he was willing to sacrifice anything just to find his friend.

She doesn’t know what’s the real relationship between the two but despite that, she wants to applaud Mi Young for breaking the icy heart and stoic expression of the said young man. Principal Oh doesn’t know if she wants to jump out in glee for finally seeing Se Heon change so much or if she wants to smack the man for being such a stubborn student.

“Se Heon…please stop it already.” Shang Min whispers behind them. She stepped forward and grabbed the helm of the man’s shirt, “Please, we’ll find another way to look for Mi Young.”

Jong In decided to step in as well. “She’s the right man. Dropping out from school isn’t the right solution. I’m sure we’ll find another way to look for her.”

Principal Oh glances at the two other students behind Se Heon. Then, she returns her gaze back at the man, “You should listen to your other friends. Dropping out from the academy isn’t going to help Mi Young at all.”

“And what would help me find her then?” Se Heon asks, voice sounding very grim and serious. “By standing on the side and listening to a principal’s lies?”

Shang Min and Jong In both gasped as they heard their friend. Jong In puts his hands on his friend’s shoulder and grips it, “Come on, man. Clearly, you’re disoriented. Let’s go back to the dorms, okay?”

Se Heon sighs before he slowly shrugs off Jong In’s hands away from his shoulders. “I don’t care what you guys think. I have the right to decide for myself. Clearly, you are not seeing my point here. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I still have a lot to do.”

After saying that, Se Heon started to walk off towards his own room, leaving the principal together with his two friends.

Principal Of sighs before looking at the remaining students. “Are you two always with him?”

Shang Min and Jong In looked at each other before looking back at their principal again. They both nodded their heads at the same time.

Principal Oh nodded before saying, “Good. Keep an eye on him. Report to me immediately if he does something stupid. Whatever happens, don’t let Se Heon leave the academy.”

Both students nodded their heads at their principal before the other party dismissed them. After that, they hurriedly ran after their friend and made sure to keep the principal’s words in their minds.

“Mi Young, whatever happens don’t let her get to you.” Zhong Yu says before he and Mi Young finally parted ways. They need to go to separate locations to make their plan a success. That’s why no matter how dangerous it is to separate from each other, they must bury their fears deep down in their minds in order to get out of this mess.

Mi Young hurriedly went downstairs to run towards where she needed to go. She’s scared and she doesn’t know if she can perform well but despite the loud thumping of her heart and the constant shaking of her hands and feet, she keeps her mind focused on her goal. And that is to annihilate Zed and get out of this mess she made.

The black haired girl continued to run south so she could get as far away as possible from the heart of the city. Zhong Yu went back there to help the civilians and check out where Zed could be possibly hiding while Mi Young was tasked to perform the most crucial part;  to find where Zed kept her heart.

That’s right. She needs to focus and find the enemy’s heart to stop her from causing much further trouble. According to Zhong Yu, witches like Zed always kept their heart away from the eyes of the many. He said that once a witch has finally become one with her true powers, her heart will separate from her body to make her hard to kill. Zhong Yu also said that they will keep it in a place where the enemy will have a hard time finding it. However, it’s also the place where the witch has the most memories.

That is why Mi Young is on her way to find the witch’s heart, stab it, and have her dead forever.. She just hopes that she will find it before Zed could find her.
