18 – Being misunderstood as a vicious villain 18

“Oh well, there is no problem. I am Taehwan Kim. don’t you believe me That’s right, don’t worry, I’ll be sure to give you an S rank as well.”

pop.

With this, the formation of Yoon Se-hyun’s villain tracking team was completed.

Kim Tae-hwan stroked his beard and lost himself in thought.

‘That guy’s ability… … How much can I endure?’

In order to test his ability, the attacks he fired were not weak.

But even so, it couldn’t be said to be an S-rank level power.

bubbling bubbling.

Mana bubbled up in his left hand like carbonic acid.

Kim Tae-hwan’s ability is a skill-type martial arts that confuses the opponent and strengthens striking power by repeatedly compressing and expanding mana.

‘I didn’t know, so I adjusted it to about 30%, but it seemed like there would be no problem even if I raised it to about 70%.’

Sehyun’s abilities were strange, but too strange.

All the functions were concentrated only on counterattacks that were suspiciously thorough?

There was nothing particularly strange about that.

What really struck Taehwan as strange was that the performance was so outstanding.

‘If it is true that Yoon Se-hyun was an innocent academy cadet, it is that he has not been awakened for a while. Over time, it can grow and become a more powerful skill.’

In the case of characteristics and skills, if you train hard, the level rises and the form changes.

In general, it was called ‘talent’ to change into a powerful form as the level rose quickly.

However, some of the blessed had unmatched abilities right after awakening.

The man who became a stepping stone for Korea to make a name for itself as a great awakened nation, and the Joseon general Kim Jeong-gu, who fell asleep with the title of a hero of salvation.

Rudebarel, called the Demon King, the head of the Demons who terrorized the world just 40 years ago.

Typically, these two were the case.

‘Besides that, there are a few people at the top of the S rank. When I first awakened, if my ability was close to S rank, it usually went up to the top of S rank.’

Of course, there are exceptions, but if you have such a strong unique ability from the beginning, you can definitely enter the S rank.

So, it is an undeniable fact that Yoon Se-hyun is a promising star like a supernova.

The question was whether he belonged to the ‘hero’ side.

If that’s right, you’ve got an outstanding talent, so you should be happy.

But what if not?

What if acting like I was still immature and ignorant of the world was all acting and hiding a dark inside?

The fact that he proudly made a fuss within the academy, and suddenly blew a dropkick in the face of himself as the elder and chairman of the clan.

What if all of these things were done to ridicule someone who knows that their abilities are outstanding defensively?

‘that is… … It’s very difficult.’

pathological interest.

The so-called temper knows no end.

Whether it’s notoriety or whatever, the scale will gradually grow so that your name goes up and down in the mouths of people all over the world.

The academy might simply be the starting point.

‘In addition, it has not yet been verified whether or not it has offensive power.’

Certainly, if you look at the bare-handed state, you can think of it as an ability solely to stop the opponent.

But what if you pick up a blade?

It is an irrational ability that disables all mana-related protective measures and momentarily stops movement.

That meant that an ordinary dagger could be the most threatening weapon of all.

If you are an A-rank or higher body training class Awakener, you have your own body organ that protects your bones and muscles even if your skin is pierced.

So, even in a completely defenseless state, ordinary blades and bullets could not do lethal damage.

The problem is wizards and esper-type awakeners.

In their case, almost all defense is done with mana shields.

In other words, if it is incapacitated, the strength of the body itself is two weight classes, or even three weight classes or more.

Even an esper with a high S rank could be helplessly hacked to death if he was attacked by Yoon Se-hyeon’s ability.

Of course, wizards and espers at the top of the S rank are not the names of the dogs, and they will not be easily defeated.

It’s enough if you don’t attack first or you don’t allow access out of your guard.

Looking at it this way, the weaknesses were also clear.

It would be assuming that there is information, and that Yoon Se-hyun is not hiding anything about her abilities.

‘I was in an atmosphere where I desperately wanted to appeal that my ability had no offensive ability, so I gave it a rough look, but I’ll have to look into it properly.’

I was going to check the details after seeing how it came out in the villain eradication mission this time.

‘Yoon Se-hyun, please… … I wish you weren’t a lunatic. I want them to be my students who I can apply for and nurture with confidence.’

It would have been great if Hayden had been there at a time like this.

Kim Tae-hwan licked his lips at the thoughts that came to his mind.

An Awakener known to have the only mind reading skill in the current generation.

If I could bring him to Korea, I wouldn’t have to worry about this.

However, Hayden was missing, and the clan gave up on his search and treated him as a de facto dead.

‘I can’t help it. I have no choice but to proceed with this task thoroughly and reliably.’

Feeling frustrated, Taehwan got up, opened the blinds, and looked out the window.

Sigh.

After a while, the sound of the door opening was heard.

Kim Tae-hwan turned his head, but no one came in.

Before long, strangely, the door closes alone.

‘You’re here.’

Seeing this, Taehwan Kim sat down again.

“Welcome, Invisible Man.”

“Whoop whoop.”

There was no one there, but a mischievous woman’s laughter came in front of Kim Tae-hwan.

Soon, as if the protective color had changed, the air was colored, and a woman in full body tights with long, light-toned purple hair appeared.

“What happened to the inspiration, how many times did you emphasize the secret?”

Her name is Eleven.

Codenamed The Invisible Woman, she was an invisible person.

A woman who was once an S-class villain, but was caught by the clan and had a bomb planted in her body, making her have no choice but to cooperate with the hero.

She covered her mouth and laughed softly.

“Is it because you are hot in old age? Ah, grandpa is not my taste.”

“Please don’t give a damn. Your job is to monitor personnel.”

When Kim Tae-hwan held out a document on the table, Eleven took it and skimmed it lightly.

“Isn’t that just a normal-looking 17-year-old chick? Why him?”

“You don’t need to know that. Track him down with this mana sample here and monitor his every move, down to the smallest detail. With your ability, you can closely monitor it, right?”

As expected from her code name, she possesses the perfect level of invisibility and the best means of eliminating presence.

The best ability to follow and spy on someone.

It had to be this much to prepare for the eventuality.

“There is nothing difficult. Instead, do you work until the next day to make sure you get a score? I wouldn’t have come here otherwise.”

The villains with bombs planted in their bodies were released only when they fulfilled the mission points required by the clan.

Of course, they don’t just release them, but put all kinds of restrictions on them so that they can’t commit additional crimes, but since they can get their freedom back on the surface, there are quite a few villains who follow them.

“Okay, if you complete the next mission, I’ll take care of the points so you don’t feel disappointed. Let’s get started right now.”

“As commanded.”

thru.

Her figure soon disappeared.

‘Hmm, mana itself isn’t too special. What do you mean, you have to keep an eye on this guy thoroughly?’

After confirming the location with Sehyeon’s mana sample that Taehwan had extracted, Eleven walked close to Sehyeon’s body.

This is where the close follow-up began.

‘Yesterday, the mana enchantment and mana bolt went up to level 2. If you work harder, your mage talent will also be level 3. Then, wouldn’t it be possible to learn new magic?’

Sehyeon was smiling at the thought of practicing magic, not even imagining that someone was following her.

‘And… … You might be fighting the villain yourself, so you should be prepared. I’m going to try the weapon out today.’

The envelope he was holding in his hand now contained a kitchen knife along with a drink.

He stopped by the convenience store in the academy to buy a knife and a drink to drink after training.

[What would happen if we fought back with a weapon?]

It wasn’t that Sehyeon hadn’t thought of that proposition.

I just never put it into action.

I tried to experiment at some point, but after magic training, I was exhausted and ended up in a state of ‘Let’s do it next time’.

‘Certainly, I’ve been a little negligent in grasping my abilities lately… … .’

It is because there is no urgency.

Taking out a knife in a quarrel between cadets was not a good idea anyway, and there was no risking one’s life to fight in the academy.

The fun magic training right away was more important than the sense of crisis of not knowing what to do in another world.

But if you had to deal with the villain, the story was different.

Priority is given to competencies above all else.

That’s why when training time came, I hurriedly bought a kitchen knife and was on my way to the training room.

‘Because the transcendentalist’s unconsciousness neutralizes the opponent’s defense, if I can counterattack with a weapon, I’ll be able to get enough offensive power.’

If that’s the case, it’ll be all the better.

‘I hope it’s okay!’

Sehyun hurried her steps toward the training room.

‘Hmm.’

Eleven follows him while matching his steps.

‘Oh, what should I do? It’s already boring.’

It’s not like I’ve been infiltrating or tailing him once or twice, but this time I wasn’t interested because it had a particularly ordinary impression and a poor profile.

‘Why on earth is Kim Tae-hwan a kid with such a stupid face? What do you think he has? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.’

Thinking about it makes me very curious.

‘Ugh, I’m dying of curiosity. Shall I touch you just once? … ?’

A determined Eleven creates a mana needle at the tip of her left hand.

I was thinking of stabbing it with the sharpness of a toothpick.

Ambush while invisible was one of her specialties that made her an S-class villain.

‘Whoops, really lightly.’

The moment he tried to poke Sehyeon’s forearm.

baek!

“yes?”

Sehyun felt a strange feeling in her hand.

It’s like hitting something… … .

‘What could have attacked me?’

I looked around several times, but there was nothing.

‘It’s strange. I heard the sound of someone slapping me in the face.’

Maybe a ghost?

hahahaha, if it’s the transcendentalist’s unconscious, it seems that even if a ghost really attacks, it will repel it.

Sehyeon didn’t think it was a big deal and walked towards the training room again.

‘… … What is that bastard?’

Eleven, who was holding her philtrum with surprised eyes from behind, looked at Sehyun’s back as if she was really dumbfounded.
