The Returning Supervillain Raises a Hero

Chapter 29

Episode 29. Nomination

When I left the classroom after receiving compliments and advice from Professor Magad about signing a contract with a number of skeletons, a notice arrived on the holophone.

[Notice]

[The last lecture of the first year today has been replaced by the principal’s lecture.]

[The subject of the lecture is ‘Practice’]

[Please come to the auditorium for the first year.]

eri.

* * *

late afternoon. Great Auditorium.

The principal, who drew in everyone’s eyes filled with silence and anticipation, stands in the center of the podium. He looked around the students without saying a word and then grinned.

“My lectures are on-the-job training. Although it is early compared to last year, I believe that you will overcome these trivial problems casually. difficulty? I got it to the F class level, so there is nothing to worry about.”

When the principal looks at me and says, the strange eyes of not only my class but also of the other classmates are on me.

The principal asked bluntly, as if he was not going to say anything until I reacted.

“When do you start practicing?”

“now!”

People they see for the first time from the left and right sides of the auditorium come in one after another, and a large hologram font is floated over their heads.

[Drill Man K]

[Doctor Wayne]

[Boothorse]

…

[Kid Warrior]

[Technical Headshot]

Hero Office?

this old man I plan to take the newbies who are in their 4th month of admission and do field training seriously.

“However, I will not take charge of the guys on this list.”

[Endless]

A line that floats over the headmaster’s head. And at the top of the list he spoke of, my name was engraved.

A, X.

“Class C’s Disoclov Argovic, is your character a multiple boomerang?”

“Yep!”

Scouts from offices they know just by name started evaluating the abilities of aspiring heroes who completed their first quarter training.

After a short screening, Class A was nominated by all scouts.

There was no first-year student who didn’t get a choice as to whether they had been talking to each other.

In particular, Class F had an average popularity of more than Class C, and Professor Kau, who was in charge of characteristic physical education, was praised by surrounding professors.

An average of four people were taken per office, and the principal was no different.

Quinn, Swift and Margaret. and me.

The Endless team, which was said to be the name of the principal’s hero in Leeds days, was formed like that.

“Go to each area.”

“Is Endless-sama in charge of him?”

When the drillman K office staff asked a question, the principal brushed off his beard.

“If you think about the situation, wouldn’t it be better?”

“exactly… , its characteristics are not special. All right.”

As I was listening to their conversation, I suddenly thought, was there anything in 2051 that would have led the principal to go out on his own?

“Jeong-suk.”

When the principal presses the button on the pen microphone, a photo of the island taken from the sky appears behind the podium.

[Hwido (諱島) Prison]

That is a prison located on an uninhabited island, where the Awakened who committed crimes are imprisoned. It’s also where I once was indebted to.

“Why would you want to show me this? The reason doesn’t matter. This guy was caught a while ago.”

[Name: Chongqiang]

[Age: 49]

[Talent: Asphalt Manipulation]

[Crime: Kidnapping, Murder, Violence, etc. 33]

There is a picture next to the name, and it looks like it has been seen once.

when was it

Seeing my memories fade away, it seems like a long time ago… .

ah!

it’s him The leader of the gangsters with straws in Hana Nursery. Hey, I already got that. The police must have suffered too.

“Escaped.”

what?

“The heliport floor was asphalt. As a result, he destroyed some of the prison facilities, diverted the guards’ attention, and then plunged into the sea.”

The picture changes as the principal waving his finger in the air.

One side of the prison wall has fallen sideways like a head cut.

“It is presumed that the seven villains in Da-dong also escaped and are now swimming or captured a fishing boat.”

Swift raises her hand.

“I think the Coast Guard should catch the drowning prisoners.”

The principal nodded.

“I told you not to.”

“why.”

Without realizing it, I questioned it at the level of spinal reflexes. A simple answer came back.

“To practice with you.”

It’s the principal’s power to block the government’s events for the sake of children’s practice.

I’m envious.

“So, my team goes to catch the A-rank villain ‘Sterncoin’.”

Aren’t you supposed to catch Chongqiang in the flow? Maybe I wasn’t the only one who thought of this, so the office scouts look at the principal.

“Well? Oh, you mean Chongqiang? Where’s the asphalt in the sea? Let’s pick that up and eat it on your own.”

After the briefing, the students who were assigned an office dispersed along with their respective scouts.

We took the principal’s helicopter and moved to Jeju Island.

For a moment, I was surprised to see the inside of the horses being like a small bunker for a helicopter.

We couldn’t help but be astonished at the sudden suggestion that came out of the principal’s mouth.

“We need to kidnap Sterncoin.”

ensuing silence.

“Why?”

When I break the silence and ask

“Promise me your names won’t be on the front page. Of course, it’s not free.”

The principal opened a backpack lying next to him and contained ten 1 kg gold bars.

Four such bags.

It would have been harsh if Richett had failed to summon him, but in the current situation, money is not so urgent.

So I looked at you with sullen eyes.

“Uh-huh, that’s not all. My lectures get A grades unconditionally-”

Five?

“Endless. We don’t want that. Please tell me the purpose of hijacking Sterncoins.”

It’s like Swift is holding me back. Press my arm and stand up and appeal to the principal.

why are you here I’m ok right now There must be a reason if the busy principal does what he does in his spare time.

“Heh heh, you’re already a hero. Yes, the reason… . Not as great a reason as you might think. As the name suggests, a stuncoin is a coin that stuns the opponent. Depending on how you use it, it can be a very lethal ability.”

“I admit it. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to keep him in prison then?”

“Let’s make an assumption. When you became a hero and entered the enemy line at any time. If you have an ally who stuns the opponent, wouldn’t it be of great help in carrying out the operation?”

“… The recidivism rate of released villains is over 70%. It will never be edified.”

“There is nothing in this world.”

This time, it’s on the principal’s side. No matter how bad a guy is, if he mobilizes constant suggestion and physical power, it will usually be fixed.

Swift shook her head in disbelief.

“Then it is decided by a majority vote. Grace Melon, Margaret Yevsovic. What do you guys think?”

“I… .”

“I will.”

Unlike Queen, who hesitated, Margaret readily affirmed.

“What am I talking about, can you hear the reason?”

“It is just as you said. I think we need a precedent that criminals have been properly rehabilitated in this era of Awakening saturation.”

It seems plausible.

“Great idea. Also like a scholarship student! are you?”

Quinn glanced at me.

“I’ll do it. But if my current behavior is wrong, I will definitely correct it.”

“Even if it’s this old man?”

“yes.”

“Cheer up, that’s good. Swift How are you?”

He closed his eyes.

“… Nam Man-hyuk will do it.”

“Heh heh, thank you all.”

surprisingly.

The principal did not ask my intentions from beginning to end.

doo doo doo.

The helicopter arrived in Seogwipo, Jeju Island, and boarded the waiting vehicle. While traveling along the Hawol Coastal Road, he fell into a side road and entered the beach.

“Push me this way. okay. I am responsible for the rest.”

The principal who controlled the road and commanded the Coast Guard with a single phone call.

“Get ready.”

A man in a striped jumpsuit coming up from the shore. He walked without a frown even though he was hit by the headlights head-on.

“Are you all?”

“OK.”

“Little boy, old man. It’s a fun combination.”

Were you expecting a situation like this? There was no blockage in Sterncoin’s speech.

“Margaret, you have to deal with it.”

Immediately, Margaret, who had grown into a giant, jumped off the sand, and the Sterncoin rolled sideways.

Margaret knew she had three options for reacting to her dash, so she was ready to jump wherever she could escape, while twisting in pursuit of Sterncoin.

sucks.

“I mean, it’s okay.”

The headmaster sweeps his chin and speaks softly.

Margaret fainted as she stood with a yellow coin stuck in her back.

“Oh yeah. That bastard is a wizard who knows how to create a realm anyway. Be careful.”

let me know early

area.

The act of occupying a certain space with one’s own mana. In general, the opponent who enters the realm slows down in proportion to the caster’s total mana.

On the other hand, the caster increases the speed and maximum reach of magic, and depending on the individual’s ability, special powers reside in the realm.

Sterncoin has certainly built up territorialization enough to put a brake on Margaret’s moves.

‘Is it possible to freely create coins in there, it’s tricky.’

Slows it to a realm and stuns it with a talent.

Isn’t that a scam?

“… It didn’t kill me.”

Sterncoin looks at the principal.

“You are wise. If you defeat all three remaining here, I will let you go.”

“It’s easy.”

“Swift, it’s your turn.”

Swift enters its natural state and blows a bladed iron ball in the wind.

It’s fast, but not that fast.

A stuncoin that runs while blocking or hitting only the marbles that come to the vital point. Swift tried to widen the distance, but the place was already full of yellow coins.

Swift chose to break into the sky, even if it was likely to give up. However, while climbing, he was hit by dozens of yellow coins and thrown into the sand.

“next.”

That ability is a bit sloppy.

Quinn clenched fists before the principal spoke and soared into the air.

“No universe.”

“No, no!”

When I spoke into the guy’s ear, Quinn was startled and yelled at him.

According to the rumors, I heard that during the evaluation at the end of the month, he was called to the vice-principal and scolded quite a bit because he crushed the roof.

you should have done it in moderation

It was a much wider space than the tournament, so he accelerated leisurely, but as soon as he entered the area, he was hit with a yellow coin in the forehead and it was over.

In this battle, the difference in concentration was the difference.

Sterncoin didn’t take his eyes off the Queen until the very end, but the guy, who was obsessed with acceleration, not only couldn’t target the opponent accurately, but also turned his head at the end.

I need to fix that habit of turning my head. The real road to go is Taesan.

“You are the only one left.”

Sterncoin pointed at me and raised his index finger. I thought of Samsik and tried to go out.

“Not yet.”

Where the principal’s finger was pointing, Margaret was struggling to get up.

A stuncoin that crumples the face.

“Are you not going to keep your promise?”

“I said, ‘If you take down all the students,’ he said. This guy hasn’t fallen yet.”

Sterncoin bit his tongue and had to face Margaret again, and Margaret, recognizing why she was defeated, thoroughly sought a break outside of Sterncoin’s realm.

“Margaret. Trust your sixth sense.”

I barely managed to avoid it, so I gave a sneak peek of advice. Gradually find some time to understand.

Soon Swift and Quinn also wake up and start attacking Sterncoins in their own way, avoiding the yellow coins.

Still, Sterncoin does not lose victory. The moving form is unusual, and it looks like he has even received professional training.

At some point, while the two are facing each other, one fights amongst themselves until a resting formation.

The principal is looking at it happily.

However, the sharp blows of Stern Coins, which were honed in practice, were not easily avoided by students.

Sterncoin, who has become accustomed to the children’s attack patterns, secretly puts a few coins in the air and leads the children there, and the battle ended in vain.

He looked down at the boys and girls lying at his feet, controlling his rough breathing, and turned to the principal.

tuk.

hand hitting my back.

“It’s your turn, don’t look at me. It’s hard to miss.”

“Am I not in trouble?”

“Clean, you bastard. I get it. Don’t let anyone touch Hana orphanage.”

… It sounds like someone was trying to touch you.

Well, check that out later.

“Let’s also ask for grades and gold bars.”

“OK.”

When you live as a villain, you are often chased by a hero who has such a good performance as a human being and also has a fraudulent character.

So how do you solve this?
