24 – Misunderstood as a vicious villain 24

On the roof of an abandoned building, two women and a man are standing looking down at the scenery below.

Among them, a woman with a blue-black bob cut wearing a tight-fitting leather suit smiled and spoke up.

“Seeing that no Awakeners have even come close to this fort, there must have been a tracking party already. No wonder. Because he was persistent around here.”

“… … .”

At those words, depression fell in the eyes of the silver-haired woman who was still old enough to be called a girl.

‘I’ve already killed a lot of people, but I have to kill more people. The more you kill, the more people you have to kill… … Why do I have this ability… … .’

I don’t want to kill any more

As soon as she thought that, a long-haired, haggard-looking man stood next to her and pulled the girl’s hair.

“Ouch… .”

“What is that face you don’t want to do? The bitch who laughs more happily than anyone else when she actually kills her. If it wasn’t for that pathetic attitude in the first place, I would have passed the test right away. plaguy… … .”

“What’s wrong, he’s a kid who will be on our side soon.”

She hugs the girl like a woman snatches it from a man.

The woman, who had been stroking her tangled hair as if gently untangling it, whispered in the girl’s ear.

“got it? It’s all annihilation. It’s not that hard. At most, there must have been four or five A ranks. Even if there was an S rank, it would be at the lowest level. With the skills you’ve shown so far, you can defeat them. After that, you will be completely on our side.”

“… … .”

“If I finish this job, I’ll let you kill only the villains as I promised. Only the evil villains who did terrible things. So fighting.”

“… … .”

“answer.”

“Yes, sister… … .”

Satisfied with the girl’s submissive attitude, the woman grinned.

‘I got my hands on something interesting. The targeted target is an obsessive killer who will surely kill at any cost. If I just find a way to constantly bring out my inner personality, blood will blow all over the world.’

A third force, not belonging to either a clan or a coalition, needs great chaos in order to rise to power.

If the toy you have now can only ‘awaken’… … .

“Okay, show me where that confidence comes from. Don’t give up.”

The first to test his skills was Choi Hyun-seok, who had been waiting for Se-hyeon’s attitude because he didn’t like it.

Until then, Hyeon-seok thought of Se-hyeon as a arrogant and cute academy junior who didn’t know the world.

“Mana bolt.”

Ting!

However, after this lousy attack, I changed my mind.

“… … What is this?”

“It’s a pioneer.”

Sehyun Yoon.

This bastard wasn’t just cocky, he was a very yellow and bubbly guy.

For the sake of the future of the Hunter world, we must step on this guy.

Choi Hyeon-seok thought so and accelerated his body by raising his mana.

Pod!

Hyeon-seok appears in front of Se-hyeon almost as if teleporting.

With his fists already loaded, there was little room for Sehyeon to defend.

Booung!

However, the fist cut through the air with just a light lift of the head, and at the same time, Sehyun’s right hand extended out and struck Hyunseok in the face.

“Kuk!”

Choi Hyun-seok steps back for a while due to unexpected damage.

‘This time, I calmly mixed magic… … .’

Sehyeon cast her magic on him once again.

“Mana bolt.”

A mana bolt or a sphere of static electricity enchanted with electricity passed through Hyeon-seok’s chest.

It was really futile and there was no damage.

“This bastard.”

Anyone could see that it was deliberately using weak magic.

why?

To mock and deceive others.

All of the team members, including Hyunsuk, thought so.

This time, it’s not a misunderstanding, it’s intentional.

Sehyeon’s side also deliberately used this tactic to offend Hyeonseok.

Shall we call it the timid revenge of the ignorant?

‘You… … I really can’t. Even if I get reprimanded, I’ll beat you down from here!’

Pod!

Hyunseok expressed his sincerity.

No matter how many S rank monsters are far beyond humans, A rank is by no means a low rank.

Each of them has the ability to take down tolerable behemoths alone.

Hyunsuk Choi’s ability is instantaneous acceleration.

Chae Eun-seo has reached a state where she can operate the speed that can only be instantaneously operated at all times.

‘I got the back! I can’t stop this easily!’

In an instant, Hyeon-seok approached Se-hyeon from behind and used his skill, ‘Lightning Rush’.

It was a technique that drastically increased attack speed by enveloping the energy of lightning on the legs, and slowed the movement of the opponent by putting them in a state of electric shock.

But-

baek!

The skill was canceled after being hit in the face by the back of Sehyun’s hand.

No matter how high the level was than Chae Eun-seo, the results were not significantly different.

Hyunseok couldn’t help but be astonished in many ways.

‘To feed the counter perfectly without even looking at my movements! nope, that’s not the case What’s the point of cutting off a skill that’s already been activated!’

It is true that the unexpected counterattack distracted him for a moment.

However, that was not a reason for the skill that was activated normally to fade away like a mana shock type skill.

‘Excellent fighting sense and mana blocking ability… … This guy is like a kid who doesn’t know the world, but his skills are real!’

Although they didn’t fight with death momentum, if they had come this far, the outcome would have been obvious.

‘I’m angry and hurt my pride, but I have to admit what I have to admit… … .’

Choi Hyeon-seok was a man who knew how to distinguish between public and life.

He sighed and calmed down his mana.

“After that, I admit it. At least it won’t get in the way.”

In an instant, I decided.

It was a short workshop, but each of the personnel who watched the fight with bated breath exclaimed admiration.

“Test, do you need more?”

“No, there is no need for that. Sorry for ignoring you.”

“I’m running out of words to prove it with my skills. I apologize for being rude earlier.”

Kang Hyun-ki and Yeon Seo-joon apologized for their rudeness.

In the world of the Awoken, strength is not everything, but it is true that it accounts for the largest percentage.

Tolerable arrogance will be offset if your skills follow.

Yu Mi-yeon also thought while looking at Se-hyeon.

‘No matter how low-ranking A-rank you are, you can be calm like that against Hunter Choi Hyeon-seok, who has fast movements. It is accurate in handling and has the ability to neutralize mana. Indeed, does that mean Kim Tae-hwan did not put the cadets into battle without any basis? … .’

What is even more surprising in the case of Yoon Se-hyeon is that there is almost no agitation in the mind.

No matter how lightly he sparred for the test, if there was an opponent who used such quick movements in front of him, he would get nervous and nervous, but Yoon Se-hyun had none of that.

Just listening to classical music and being calm as if meditating, then a perfect response at a surprising timing.

It was as if he had won all sorts of battles.

‘At only 17 years of age? this… … It seems like he grew up in an environment that is unimaginable from a normal perspective. It might be a case of escaping from a harsh training facility in the shadows and turning into a hero.’

If so, everything was explained.

Yoon Se-hyeon is a cadet under special management by Kim Tae-hwan.

Sending a still young boy into such a dangerous practice is a kind of ideological testing or taming.

It was never an arrangement to plant a bomb on the body, but it was a mission that required personnel to be managed and supervised.

‘If it’s like this, they’d put in a guard who’s good at stealth… … It’s the same thing that I don’t like, but it’s not to the extent that I can’t tolerate it.’

In the end, Yu Mi-yeon decided to accept Yoon Se-hyeon as a member of the team.

“I don’t think we need any more tests… … Everyone, let’s go back to the operating room. We will begin the detailed briefing.”

*

The main area of activity for the villain to be tracked is District D-3.

The incident started with the murder of six B-rank Awakeners in just one night.

Seeing that none of them were able to resist and suffered, the culprit is likely to be an assassin who is good at ambush.

Immediately, A-rank awakeners and patrol robots were temporarily dispatched to patrol the area, but even some of them were killed and other B-rank personnel suffered.

District D-3 is a district with many private houses, so with the judgment that we couldn’t allow this further confusion, we set up a tracking team that was all A-ranked.

Joo Young-seon, who is called a detection and discovery specialist, and four combatants with characteristics and skills that are advantageous in dealing with the assassin class.

It was there that Sehyun intervened.

“This, this… … wear it.”

“yes. These are Kim Tae-hwan’s instructions.”

Sehyun, who went out to the alleyway outside the building for a while at Eleven’s call, looked down at the clothes and masks in her arms with a troubled expression.

Coats and shirts that exude a feeling of being in middle school.

Pants with a lot of accessories like a leather choker that I don’t know what it is.

Boots that have no practicality and look like they are full of superficiality.

All of them were all black, and they looked cool when they all wore them.

Assuming you’re tall, well-proportioned, and handsome.

So, that meant that it was a cover-up at least that much.

Well, let’s pretend it’s okay up to this point.

The pinnacle of the real absurdity was this tooth mask full of dark energy.

A mask with very vivid red gums and teeth on a black background.

It was completely closed from the neck to the eyes, and it was made of goggles made of glass that did not see through from the outside with the feeling of sunglasses, so it had to be seen that the face was completely covered.

If you wear something like this, it’s clear that anyone will treat you like an idiot.

‘What the hell is this?’

I was so dumbfounded that I thought twice.

Sehyun asked Eleven again.

“Why should I wear this?”

“You honestly know that you look like a bitch compared to your abilities, right?”

It was embarrassing to say such a thing in front of my face, but it was not wrong.

“I feel a bit too ordinary.”

“That’s why you should show off your presence by covering your face and wearing clothes that are a bit forceful. … … said Kim Tae-hwan. Well, it’s okay to fight in a cadet uniform, and you need to hide your identity from the villains. There are many reasons.”

“Would you really feel like wearing something like this? I think it will look more ridiculous… … .”

“I don’t know either. Anyway, try on a dress that a professional designer made by staying up all night for days just for you. It feels like watching anime too openly, so it might definitely give off a crazy nerd-like force. Plus, those boots have insoles with technology that makes your legs look longer.”

Sehyun touched her forehead.

My hero costume is like this… … .

‘Still, someone worked hard to make it for me by staying up all night for several days, but I can’t help but try it on.’

It was Sehyeon who was not happy with it but eventually decided to wear it.

“I’m going to change, so look somewhere else for a while.”

“ah? Ah, okay.”

Eleven turned around and smiled.

Is there anything to be ashamed of, I’ve already seen all the peppers… … .

rustle, rustle.

“… … I’m all dressed up.”

“Puff.”

Eleven, who thoughtlessly turned her head at the word that she had everything on, couldn’t hold back the laughter that erupted.

‘What the hell is that, he’s just a crazy guy.’

Did you say Kim Tae-hwan’s spell was an outfit that attracts aggro to villains?

If so, I did a really good job.

How can you put up with that?

‘If we run into each other on the street at night, I’ll argue with me too.’

Most of the villains openly looked at those who wore clothes that smelled like middle school sophomores.

So many villains in media such as cartoons, movies, and animations come out like that and act like idiots, so I have no choice but to look sloppy and ugly.

It was all the more so because the villains were also a tribe that valued image as much as the hero power.

The villain should be the personification of fear, and being the target of ridicule is unacceptable.

“It’s really great. No one will recognize you.”

Is that a compliment or a curse… … .

Sehyun became sad in many ways.

To think I had to stand in front of my teammates like this.

Wouldn’t it be better to escape now and join the society of the villains?
