145 – Phantom Thief
summer vacation is over,
Isia went to school humming.
To others, it was just an incomprehensible sound called ‘nyangnyang’.
School life as usual.
It was about to start again.
‘I’m the Dark Knight’s sidekick!’
I felt like the main character of a hero animation, a hero by night and a student by day.
Isia was clearly enjoying this.
Then a strange thing happened.
“Isiah-san! Is it true that you are Gareas working with the Dark Knight!”
“Nyangnyang!”
Isia nodded involuntarily.
And soon I figured out the situation.
The person who asked her a question was a typical reporter you would see on a news or tracking program.
“The answer is nyangnyang. Seeing that you nodded, you must mean yes, right?!”
The reporter wrote something in his notebook.
Isia shook her head in embarrassment.
“Nya, nyaaa. Nyaang Nyan!”
She desperately tried to make an excuse, but she was still unable to speak human words.
Lee Jia has had a history of sending photos of herself transforming into ‘Gareas’ to people around her, and she has been subtly showing off a lot.
In the end, a reporter with good information asked about ‘Gareas’ and this situation came to pass.
‘… This might not be bad.’
Isia felt happy inside.
She wouldn’t admit it, but she had a knack for it, and she had a heart that she wanted to be found out.
Reporters were not alone.
Another reporter held the tape recorder.
“Then, Mr. Gareas! Explain about the Dark Knight’s activities in Japan… ”
“Hey, it’s my turn! Isia-san, did you kill people like the Dark Knight?!”
“Nya ha ha… ”
Isia broke through the encirclement of reporters and fled while evading.
“uh? Ugh, wait a minute!”
“I just want to hear one word!”
The reporters hurriedly followed, but there was no way they could beat the B-class Awakener’s footwork.
The distance widened in an instant.
“Isia is Gareas?”
“Is this a true story?”
The students who were going to school were whispering.
The only word she could say was ‘meow’, and many children looked down on Lee Sia, who was in a club like the ‘Hero Culture Research Department’.
But they had to be surprised today.
“To think Isia was the Dark Knight’s sidekick. I really can’t believe it.”
“I thought it was just a cat, but hey… ”
Isia made a satisfied expression as she listened to them.
Maybe it was the situation she was hoping for.

New semester, classroom.
The students I hadn’t seen in a while chatted with each other, and I was no exception.
“Sia sunbaenim says he is Gareas, who works with the Dark Knight.”
“okay.”
Actually, I was a bit surprised by Yang Min-seo’s words, but I pretended to be calm and replied.
Isia knew when to play a sutra.
In the first place, unlike the ability of a ‘super hacker’, it is too lax and obsessive.
It was to the extent that the photos taken in the ‘Gareas’ suit were shared with club members and people around me.
‘He won’t blow on me, but… Gareas activities will be difficult in the future.’
It’s not that I wear the ‘hermit’s skin’ and promote because of my appearance.
Murder is a crime, even if the opponent is a villain.
If you are accused of that, your behavior becomes difficult.
Therefore, as long as ‘Gareas’ was caught, he could not be taken to the villain hunt.
“An academy student is the sidekick of the Dark Knight! I’m fucking jealous.”
He said with a misunderstood frown.
“Didn’t you say that even the Dark Knight would win? Why are you suddenly jealous?”
I was curious and asked.
Previously, she didn’t seem to have good feelings about the ‘Dark Knight’ and said that she was training to catch the ‘Dark Knight’.
“That, that’s it. Oh, I don’t know!”
My face turned red like it was about to explode.
She sighed and left.
‘Is it just a bravado for a child of this age?’
I just dug deep.
chatter chatter.
Yang Min-seo and other girls chatted by my desk.
I put my chin on my chin and thought for a moment.
A single-use resurrection item.
The name was the essence of life.
It can literally bring the object back to life.
The item disappears after only one use.
It is of little use after obtaining the Priest, but it is a must-have item before obtaining the Priest.
It’s a shame to use it against a normal boss, but it’s good to use it against the ‘morning star’, who is in the rank right below the demon king.
The way to get it is simple.
The current owner is Yang Geon-oh, chairman of K Group.
In other words, he is Yang Min-seo’s grandfather.
“It’s Minseo.”
“yes? What happened?”
“Um, no.”
Yang Min-seo made a ‘?’ expression.
I thought for a moment about asking her, but it wasn’t.
It is doubtful that Yang Geon-oh would offer it, even if it was his granddaughter’s request, and he could harm his relationship with Yang Min-seo.
‘I’ll have to choose the traditional way.’
Infiltrate and steal.
Simply put, it is stealing.
.
.
.
After a boring class, I went to the main gate with Yang Min-seo, but I heard a shout from somewhere.
Wow!
Oh oh!
On the playground, someone was flying through the sky at breakneck speed, scattering lightning.
Looking closely, it was Park Ha-yeon.
“What is he doing over there?”
Onlookers cheered for Park Ha-yeon.
They responded whenever she did.
I sent Yang Min-seo and went to the playground.
Park Ha-yeon noticed me and came down.
“uh? Shinno is here.”
“okay… But what kind of fuss is this?”
Park Ha-yeon and I always go to and from school together, so today I was on my way to the main gate, the place we promised to meet her.
“Well, I came first, but I was bored so I tried to practice my skills. Why, flying around is so much fun!”
Park Ha-yeon scratches her cheek with her index finger and strikes a shy pose.
It seemed that he was excited about his enhanced abilities.
I let out a small sigh.
And he took her hand and led her.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
We quickly became distant from others.
When Park Ha-yeon went with me, the onlookers slowly disbanded with sad expressions on their faces.

Top floor of K Tower Palace, penthouse.
An old man was sleeping in a room.
Wei Ying.
The sound of an electronic safe opening.
The old man stood up frowning.
“Who are you?”
Thirty years ago, he woke up to the sound of the safe after his eldest son opened the safe and took the money with him.
I opened the drawer, took out a handgun loaded with manatan, and turned on the mana coat.
The silk robe he was wearing was a kind of specially modified mana coat.
When the old man went to the room with the safe, there was a man in a black robe.
This is called the ‘Dark Knight’ in the world.
“Chairman Yang Kun-oh.”
‘Dark Knight’ spoke in a low voice, as if scraping rusty metal.
“… … ”
The old man held his breath.
His heart seemed to stop.
He came out with a handgun as if he were a petty thief, but he never dreamed that a ‘Dark Knight’ called an S-class villain would come out.
seuleung-
Chairman Yang Kun-oh, who is an ordinary person and is old, was surprised to see the sword in his hand.
It seemed as if it didn’t exist and then came into being.
“The only sound was the sound of the safe being unlocked, but he seems to be a light sleeper.”
For the ‘Dark Knight’, infiltrating without making a sound was like eating rice cake while lying down.
However, the sound of the safe could not be stopped.
He received a device from Isia to put the device online and opened the safe.
“Are you going to kill this old man?”
Yang Geon-oh had a pistol in his hand, but he couldn’t believe it.
The opponent is probably the strongest awakening person in Korea.
A toy like this only boosts my temper.
He carefully put the pistol down.
“If you go back to your room and sleep, nothing will happen, so pretend you didn’t see it.”
The ‘Dark Knight’, who was searching inside the safe, eventually found the ‘essence of life’ he wanted.
A golden egg with jewels embedded in it.
It reminded me of Russian Faberge eggs.
“that!”
Yang Geon-oh, who had been watching silently, shouted.
The most prized treasure in the vault.
It was an item that he had worked hard to obtain with slush funds in case he died.
“Hey, are you taking it? If money is the goal, I’d rather deposit money. No, tracking is a problem. Any amount of cash!”
The old man trembled and held him back.
Money wasn’t the problem.
It was a unique item that could not be obtained again, so if it was stolen now, it would be over.
“Sorry, but I need this. Because there will be a fight for the world.”
As soon as Chairman Yang Kun-oh heard his words, he felt that compromise was impossible.
“Okay… However, in that case, let this old man give it to you.”
“why?”
“Heh, didn’t you save my granddaughter? I mean the K-Pharma villain.”
Yang Geon-oh is a person who cannot live without suffering.
he had a hunch.
If that thing is taken away by the ‘Dark Knight’, he will die of stress.
It’s just self-justification, but I thought I’d rather give it away, so I brought it up.
“as you please.”
“but… I love my granddaughter, but that egg is more than that. Next time, next time, if you have a chance, please help me one more time.”
Shinnoda was slightly fed up.
‘Is this an entrepreneur?’
In the end, that old man meant that he valued the ‘Saint of Resurrection’ higher than the price of Yang Min-seo’s life.
“… … ”
‘The Dark Knight’ does not answer.
He soon left with the egg.
In the penthouse, only Yang Geon-oh, who congratulates himself on living with a heavy breath, is left.
Even if I pretended not to, I broke out in a cold sweat.
For ordinary people to face an S-class Awakener was accompanied by such fear.
“Will it be stolen again?”
he muttered despondently.
When I was young, I was robbed of money by the military regime, and as I got older, people called awakening people came out and started to play.

Now even the most precious treasure has been stolen.
Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s been merciful to others or lived a humane life as an entrepreneur.
