The Returning Supervillain Raises a Hero

Episode 96. Villain Lee Ji-wook (1)

He stole something from a man’s bag while he got on the limousine bus. They were laughing and talking, unaware that they had been pickpocketed. He looked happy.

Even though they are born in the same world and of the same species, they laugh and I do not laugh.

Why?

“cockroach. Give it to me.”

As the pickpocketed boy enters the alley, the waiting young man, Seo Gang-pae, holds out his hand.

“… … .”

“Hey, aren’t you answering?”

When there is no reaction, Seo Gang-pae pulls out a gas gun and threatens him with his eyes as usual.

The boy, Lee Ji-wook, had been struggling for a while, but now he was in a good mood.

“My mother died today.”

Seo Kang-pae was stopped by Lee Ji-wook’s sharp eyes and emotionless voice, but he, too, could not disobey the boss’s instructions, so he made a coercive voice.

“Whether your mother dies or not, I don’t know. Give up what you stole and go.”

“The flu was the cause. Even if you take your medicine on time. A better deal.”

“What are you talking about?”

puck!

Seo Gang-pae, who struck Lee Ji-wook in the head with a gun handle and knocked him down, took the stolen goods and turned around.

So he couldn’t see. A pillar of light falling vertically from the sky wraps around Lee Ji-wook.

There was an instant murderous intent in Lee Ji-wook, who had fallen down, in his hazy eyes.

“Uh-huh, are you okay?”

When Seo Kang-pae turned his head to the sound of rustling, the gun that should have been in his inner pocket floated up and aimed his eyes at him.

“Sleep, wait. you. Gak, are you awake? Keep calm and listen to me. Did your mother say she was sick? I’ll buy you some medicine. huh? … … Hey, this is X! Put this away! Do you look like an X God because I say nice things? Put it away—”

bang.

“Aww!”

Puck, puck, puck.

“Ouch, uh… .”

For Lee Ji-wook, Seo Gang-pae’s death was like breaking the noose hung around his neck.

“You said your mother was dead.”

The scrap metal in the alley floats around him.

iron manipulation. The ability to freely control objects of a certain size or larger depending on the level of proficiency if they contain even a little iron.

Within the Hero Association, it is an ability that has been rated as the highest among the characteristics of the operation system.

Ji-wook Lee picked up the stolen item, thinking that the blood that flowed from the fallen Seogangpae resembled the fireworks display he had seen on his mother’s back as a child.

Will you get out of the alley and return this item to them? Or Lee Ji-wook, who had been contemplating whether he would take revenge on the people who drove his family to death like this, made a decision not long after.

“Wait a minute. mother.”

Lee Ji-wook left the flickering scarlet streetlight behind and disappeared into the depths of the alley.

-Around 02:00 today. Members of the Baek Woong faction were found brutally murdered. Police believe it was the act of a single offender.

-According to eyewitnesses, the Awakening Light fell near the Sambo Billiard Hall, the base of the Baekungpa. Based on this, the police are searching for the perpetrator, and said they will arrest the villain quickly so as not to cause damage to citizens.

– Next news. Has VZ technology been announced recently? This time, a grenade-type throwing VZ called VZ-4 has been developed and is becoming an issue in the hero society.

After completing his revenge, Lee Ji-wook, who stole clothes from the rooftop room of the Baekung-pa building and changed clothes, listened to the news from inside the convenience store.

‘grenade?’

A picture of the VZ-4 floating on the board of a convenience store holo. Lee Ji-wook noticed that it was the same thing as stolen by Baek Woong-pa yesterday.

The time when my hand goes into my inner pocket without my knowledge. The convenience store door opens and two men come out.

with daughter.

“I think it’s near here. Are you sure you pulled out the water use log properly?”

“Because that’s right. It was the only building that had water at that time.”

“After that, I was in my mid 160s and weighed about 45kg. Right-handed and male. Characteristics are operation system or implementation system. Murder by grudge.”

Lee Ji-wook, who heard the police murmuring right next to him, pretended not to hear and teased his legs.

Lee Ji-wook widened some distance and then slipped through the mirrored building, spying on them, and met one of the police officers.

“uh?”

“why?”

“that. That guy!”

“yes? … catch! Ouch!”

“Uh-huh!”

Lee Ji-wook, who manipulated the belts the police were wearing and tied them to the door of the convenience store, quickly ran away.

After hours of chase, Lee Ji-wook took refuge in a mountain without CCTV.

“this… .”

It was good to get away from the police and heroes, but when I thought about living here on my own for the time being, it was Lee Ji-wook who had a dark future.

On the other hand, the police managed to breathe only after putting the villain into an environment where they could not manipulate iron.

“Build a siege network and hit a villain advisory in Hamyang, Sancheong, and Hadong.”

“All right!”

“If that’s enough, even the joljjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.”

The Korean police had to hear all kinds of criticism and ridicule from the Hero Association because they missed the now-red wanted Dark Nexus in Busan.

Chief Kim, who was incensed by the association’s brazenly demanding domestic investigation authority saying that it is right for the hero to arrest the villain, vowed to capture the villain without mistakes this time.

I was narrowing the siege by receiving reports in real time.

“Chief. There is good news and one bad news.”

“Lieutenant Kang. Don’t waste your time, just report it.”

“Hey, listen. The bad news is that students are camped out in Mt. Jirisan.”

“Huh, any good news?”

“You mean those students are Seoul Hero Academy students?”

After the siege was set up, Chief Kim planned to call the villain team. I wanted to monopolize the sweet achievement of arresting a villain and a murderer, but if I did, my subordinates would die.

However, it was said that there are people in that mountain who are not heroes but have abilities comparable to those of heroes, so it was Chief Kim who was keen on his ears.

“call.”

“It is already hanging. Professor Deckard. As the vice principal’s son, he will also have the right to make on-site decisions.”

After hesitating for a moment, Chief Kim accepted the holophone offered by Inspector Kang as if he had made a decision.

Tour.

– This is Deckard. who are you?

“The police have been asking for help. You’re asking for help in arresting the villain. what do you think?”

After hearing the information about the villain received by the police, Zip-Up Mirror and Seypreg cast one vote for and one against.

“I am worried that the student will get hurt. Wouldn’t it be better for us to come forward?”

As Seypreg expresses concern, the zip-up mirror shakes his head.

“That villain just woke up. There is no railroad within the siege. I think it’s a good environment to gain practical experience. I want the kids to come in.”

“What are you going to do if there is a trauma? I’m only in 1st year now. It’s never too late to start the real battle when you’re in your 3rd year.”

“Once you get the hands-on feeling in the first year, you will learn a lot more in the remaining two years.”

“Even so, it’s not enough to risk your life.”

Deckard intervened as the two heroes became increasingly vocal.

“I’d rather ask the students.”

“Yes? The kids are 17 years old. I didn’t have enough knowledge to make judgments.”

“Then are you going to sleep and suck your fingers here?”

“We just have to train ourselves.”

Two people fighting on the way to the pension restaurant.

“I listen. Please lower your voice.”

“greatness.”

“Yes.”

Deckard sighed inwardly, opened the dining room door, grabbed an empty cup, and slapped it with his fingers to gather attention.

“There is an announcement.”

Deckard recited the police’s request for help and the villain’s information.

“This is the situation. What do you think?”

“Can we help?”

As Deckard opened his mouth to answer Sujeong Do’s question, Seypreg stepped out.

“Miss Do Su-jeong. That’s a very good question. You’re still more of a normal Awoken than a hero. It will interfere with the work of the police.”

Despite Seypreg’s remarks encouraging opposition, no one objected. Even Do Su-jeong, who asked the question, raised her hand in favor.

When asked about the reason later, the answer was, ‘I think it will be easier than the Hello Island request.’

“Everyone agrees. good. Let’s go. … But where is Nam Man-hyuk?”

“They said there was something to see.”

Deckard nodded at Tracy Gwen’s report.

“Let’s go with us. Time is running out, as the siege will be established soon.”

“yes!”

The children who followed the professor and the two heroes headed to Cheonwangbong with a little tension and excitement.

that time. A company that commissioned Baek Ungpa to steal the VZ-4. In ‘Luna Terra’, an emergency meeting was in progress.

“Miss it!”

bang!

When the man sitting in the fancy chair hits the table, it is smashed and the holograms sitting in the other chairs vibrate.

“Okay, Chairman. Calm down.”

“I mean, do you really look like that now? Did I order the hard work? All you have to do is pick it up, make it a chore? I can’t keep a cheap organization like that!”

“sorry!”

“I don’t even want to look at you, so get out of here!”

Holograms that disappear at once as if waiting.

Lunatera was one of the companies that developed the VZ, and the Gilbert Stein Research Institute would have been the first company in the world to develop the VZ if it had not received the investment from Manhyuk Nam.

He was not angry at losing the first. The problem is with the staff. If 1st place is poor, shouldn’t it be necessary to aim for a stepping stone even if it is 2nd place?

“You have to deal with things like this. Ttttttttt!”

Chairman Terra took out a business card he had received from a recent meeting from the drawer.

[Towards the Great Universe]

[Volt, Luden]

“Hmm.”

When I turned over the business card, there was an address written on it that could be recognized by the camera of the holophone.

“Is this? All right.”

As was the case with Bolt’s director, Luden, this address was not an investigation, but a list of mercenaries who specialized in kidnapping requests.

“It’s good that these guys have a vicious outlook. Shouldn’t the three teams be sent? what’s so expensive Ttt, can’t you help it?”

After making a big investment to show his subordinates what bold and sure work is, Chairman Terra smiled contentedly as he saw the three messages arriving soon.

– Departure.

– Boarding a flight to Korea.

-We will bring the target to the designated location within three days.

same time. Near Cheonwangbong Peak, Jirisan Mountain.

“hey.”

“What, suck!”

Richett said there was a guy who stole the VZ-4, so after tracking down, he waited for him to come to Mt. Jiris on his own.

Then, when the police built a siege and there was a short delay, I got out of the pension and met the guy.

“Lee Ji-wook. 19 years old. Am I right?”

When I asked with my mouth shut, he gave his whole body strength and then opened his eyes. He tried to do something, but there was no response, so he looked confused.

“I’m going to catch a mag, so you must have brought an iron.”

If he was a re-awakened person who even manipulated iron oxide in his body, he would have jumped out without looking back, but this guy has just awakened. Skills won’t be good either.

If you just leave it alone, you’ll be caught by the police on your own, and if you claim ownership of the VZ-4, you can get it back without much fuss. Still, why did I have to go?

“You, do you look good?”
