ld be even more strange if the person in charge of interrogation believes their suspect to be innocent.”

“Thank you for saying this.”

Baek Woogi expressed his gratitude and began to unlock the gate, and once out, he asked,

“Did the secret agents find the evidence for who the real culprit was?”

The only ones who would rescue him were his own subordinates, but Baek Woogi shook his head,

“No.”

“NO? Then did the academy do their own investigation?”

“It isn’t even that.”

Dan Pil-hoo was too curious now.
If it wasn’t the academy or his men then who brought out the culprit?

In a way, it could be said that someone went and made Sa Muheo speak the truth.
And Baek Woogi spoke like the whole situation was absurd for him too,

“… Master Sa Muheo… he confessed.”

“He confessed?”

“Yes.
And material evidence related to the crime was brought out during the statement.”

Dan Pil-hoo frowned.

Something felt strange; there was no way that bastard would randomly come and confess to the crime.

“He couldn’t have confessed just like…”

“It wasn’t just like that.”

“What is this now?”

“… someone hurt him, and then he ended up confessing.”

Sa Muheo was hurt? The only ones who could deal with him were the head of the academy, Mac Cheong-un, and Hang Yeon.

“Could it be the head of Mak Cheong-un?”

“No.”

Indeed it had to be them, but the two were in the Imperial Palace now.
Even if they heard what happened, they couldn’t have come back in only one day.

“If that’s the case, who handled Sa Muheo?”

“… Mumu, a freshman.”

‘!?’

At those words, Dan Pil-hoo was shocked.

He was aware of Mumu’s hidden strength, but he still thought that Mumu wasn’t someone who could handle Sa Muheo.

But he made Sa Muheo like this?

“I couldn’t believe it either.”

Baek Woogi understood his reaction.
He was equally shocked.
Sa Muheo was left in the absolute worst condition after going against that child.

‘Ha…’

This meant Dan Pil-hoo had underestimated him.

Mumu handled a man who killed Hang Yeon? This was far more of a monster than he thought Mumu was.
To defeat a Super Master level warrior at the age of 17.

‘Wait?’

Then wouldn’t it mean that the power he was hiding was out in the open? Dan Pil-hoo felt annoyed.

‘Ah, this is truly…’

He was grateful for the help.
In fact, this was something amazing.
It was a pleasure that he was helped.
However, if this happens, then the academy would notice Mumu.
It won’t be like before.

‘I need to meet with him.’

“If the charges are cleared, I should return to work right away…”

“If you are planning to see Mumu, then it will be tough.”

“… what does that mean?”

“The headmaster has returned.”

“What?”

He had returned from the Imperial palace after just one day.
Of course, with his level of skills, it wasn’t impossible.
It was possible they had accomplished this using only light footwork..

“Then you mean Mumu is currently with the headmaster?”

“Yes.
Probably by now…”

Same time.

In the main office of the Academy.

Mumu, who had turned Sa Muheo into a half-dead person and forced him to speak, came to the questions room of the main office and was writing his report.

This strange-looking middle-aged man in a purple robe with a mustache was the headmaster of the academy, Do Jeong-myung.

‘Hmm.’

Do Jeong-myung stroked his beard and looked at Mumu.
He wasn’t someone who remembered all the students of the academy, but he did remember a few special ones.

And Mumu was one of them.

‘Is this child that child?’

For the first time since the founding of this academy, a student passed with just his strength alone.
Of course, it had become a huge discussion, so he remembered it.

But this one was quite surprising.
He returned to the academy after receiving an incident report at the Imperial Palace, and as soon as he arrived, he heard the news of the culprit being caught.

[Did you say that the deputy was charged?]

[Master Sa Muheo ended up confessing with his own mouth.]

[He did?]

The finer details regarding the extraction of the confession hadn’t been entirely figured out yet.

It was said that he spoke only after being shown force.
If it had been done by one of the masters of the academy, it would be much less surprising.

[A student was it?]

It was said that the person who had caught him was the freshman Mumu.
The fact that he suppressed Sa Muheon by force alone, someone who Hang Yeon couldn’t fight against.

‘Is this kid really someone who can overpower him?’

On the surface, he didn’t seem so special.
He could feel the slight energy in his dantian, yet this energy wasn’t from the body; this energy felt too small.
Looking at this, he was confused.

‘Only 17, yet is it possible for a freshly enrolled student to overpower a master who had surpassed the top ten warriors in the school?’

Moreover, it was said that it wasn’t even an easy fight.
But Mumu looked fine.
Even against such a man, he didn’t have wounds?

“Do… I have to keep doing this?”

Mumu was puzzled and asked the headmaster.
At this, the man looked at Mumu and asked,

“Was it Mumu?”

“Yes.”

“Can you tell me how you took down master Sa Muheo?”

If he knew how they had fought, then maybe he could do some kind of thinking to better understand this confusing situation.

Mumu titled his head and simply responded,

“With strength”

“…”

Did he just hear this child right? He looked at Mumu and clarified,

“Right.
I know that.
but I need to know how you defeated Master Sa Muheo.”

At that moment, Mumu slapped his palms and said,

“Knocked him down.”

“….”
