chapter 12
12 – 7th place 1
After the last warning, I left the clearing with Yuri.
However, despite the fact that I took good care of myself, the deep feeling of anger in my heart did not disappear.
These guys had a strong desire to make them worse than dying even if they didn’t actually kill them.
In fact, while listening to the absurd remarks they poured out, I was even thinking of doing so at the last moment.
The idea of making the two idiots so certain that even the great modern medicine couldn’t do anything about it.
To that extent, considering the bullsh*t the two of them poured out and the pain Yuri must have suffered based on this, I couldn’t just let it go.
It was only natural for people in the world to curse at the villain.
In the first place, villains were beings who chose to live for themselves even while shouldering such things.
However, Yuri, whom they called Villain and harassed in the name of justice, was different.
She said she had no choice in her in the first place, and she hadn’t done anything wrong as a villain yet.
Also .. Seeing that she was being helpless in the same situation as she is now, she wasn’t even that kind of personality in the first place.
In fact, even in the Hero Association, in the case of young boys and girls, as long as they do not commit evil with the name of an official villain, it is a principle to correct them, but not to punish them.
Nevertheless, they did that to Yuri while putting the name of a hero in front.
In other words, to them, being a villain or a hero was nothing more than a tool to justify their evil deeds.
That fact, while dealing with the so-called “Ironic boys and girls,” I felt genuine disgust. I sincerely thought about punishing them.
Don’t ever mention that name lightly again.
To those guys who blasphemed both the names of the villains and the heroes at the same time, you can feel the weight of those names very painfully.
But…
Unfortunately, my actions were stopped by Yuri, who demanded that she be merciful even in this situation.
The look of Yuri holding onto my arm and giving me a pitiful look.
I felt a little frustrated with her behavior, which has always been nice from before until now, but on the other hand, I also thought that it was her appearance.
‘Surely, this guy wasn’t supposed to be a villain.. She should have recognized that sooner, before she gave it a name..’
Feeling regret once again, I used my ability to extinguish the flames that were covering their bodies.
Apart from my feelings, in a situation where the biggest victim of this incident requested leniency, I have no choice but to kill my anger,
As a result, as she requested, I had no choice but to finish the job in a way that showed a moderately bitter taste.
Of course, without forgetting to give one of the nerds a firm warning at the last minute.
‘Looking at it, he must have known what I did at the academy. Then you’ll understand what I mean.’
So, if I warned you this far and still get distracted and do nonsense again, thinking that I will definitely show you hell then,
I slowly looked at the face of Yuri who was walking next to me while holding my hand tightly from earlier.
The figure of Yuri, slightly reddened, with a somewhat happy expression on his face.
It must be because of her, thanks to what happened just before, that there are no more people to bully her in the future.
‘Honestly, teachers should step up and do these things.. But what.. Does it matter? After all, this guy was once my student too.’
While thinking about the past for a while, I looked at Yuri and said in a calm voice.
“You won’t have to worry anymore. If the same thing happens again, then tell me right away. Understand?”
“Yes, senpai.. I.. And about that..”
“Huh?”
“That word… Are you really…? The words that I.. Senior’s clique colleague..”
“Ah.. That?”
I couldn’t help but laugh a little bitterly inwardly at her words.
Of course, it could be said that it was a bit of a process for me to say such a thing at that moment, as I did not form a faction.
But the reason I said that was because it was the easiest word to express my position at that moment.
“I didn’t formally form a faction, but I said that through roughly meaning, didn’t I? You and I are colleagues from the same villain. Isn’t this enough to help each other and live?”
“Ah..”
Yuri slightly averted her eyes at my words and spoke softly.
At this, I asked cautiously, wondering if she was feeling too burdened by my words.
“Was the story too over-the-top? Well.. If you don’t like it, I’ll respect that expression in the future, but…”
“Ah.. No, not at all.. Rather good… I did.”
Yuri answers my words with a bit of urgency.
Then she spoke in a slightly trembling voice, holding my hand a little tighter.
“That.. Then.. It will be okay to do that in the future, right? I… I… I’m a clique colleague like senior Han Do-young…”
“Well, as long as it’s okay with you… it doesn’t matter if you introduce yourself like that.”
“Go.. Thank you! Really… thank you very much, senior!”
Yuri bows her head with a look of sincere joy.
Seeing her like this, I couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter inside.
The expression of a clique colleague.
Inside of her was my feelings of wanting to protect her no matter what.
Whatever the reason, I cannot say that I am not responsible for the fact that she has lived such a painful life.
Because of that, I was hoping that she would be able to defend herself, even by using my growing reputation within her academy.
Of course, the ultimate goal is to put her power in her hands so she can defend herself. At least until then, as an old teacher, it seemed my duty to be of some help.
“Okay then.. That’s it for today. If anything happens later, tell me.”
“Yes, then go in carefully, senior!”
After I finished talking with her, I finally started going back to her house.
From the first day of the academy, thinking that there were too many things like this.
At the same time, thinking that maybe tomorrow will be even busier because of these things…

“Keep it off!!!!”
“… “
A masked man screaming desperately.
Looking at him, the woman put on her unwaveringly cool expression and she continued to go about her ‘work’.
A man’s hand with nine fingers already broken off and pulled out.
Seeing this, she grabbed the last remaining finger without hesitation, just like a doctor performing an operation.
And…
-Pud Deude Deuk!
“Kkeuhhhhh!!!!!”
A man who continues to struggle while letting out a scream.
However, despite pulling out all 10 fingers like that,
The woman continued to act resolutely.
“Turn it off… My… Please… Please stop! My… I was wrong! Please! Please stop killing me!! Jebaaal!!”
“..Shut up.”
-Pude deudeuk!!!
aaa!!!!!”
She finally tramples the hand of the man who begs for her death.
The pain reached such a limit that the man completely lost consciousness.
And…
“It would be difficult if I passed out already..”
Seeing his face like that, the woman picked up a bottle of cold mineral water lying next to her and started to open the lid.
“Now, verse 1. In the next three verses, there is even a chorus.”
She talks in a cold voice and tries to pour it into the face of a man who passed out.
Then…
-Diriririring!
“Huh?”
The next moment, her face, which had been infinitely cold at the sudden ringing of her cell phone, suddenly began to come into her face, as if a light bulb had been turned on.
“What happened?”
Then she answers the phone in a completely different tone than before.
Right after that…
Emotions that can be called ‘surprise’ and a little ‘joy’ began to appear clearly on her face.
“Really?.. Our Doyoung is like that..”
