Hunting Villains – 1
“Oh, I’m trembling. Taejin-ah.”
The steep road we climbed together.
Lesha said so as she snuggled close to me.
The title was decided from ‘Ya’ to ‘Tae Jin-ah’ due to the controversy that had been going on since last night, but it was still unavoidable to mix honorific and respectful words.
Still, since this is the development of a long family, I decided to wait patiently until I get used to it.
“tremble?”
“It’s the first time I’ve done something like this… .”
The reason why Lesha was so nervous on the way to school, which is no different from everyday life.
This morning, it was due to the fact that I received a call from my supervisor, Ella.
[Tae Jin-ah, I heard that the dean presented a certificate of commendation during the auditorium ordinance this morning. And on behalf of the Monster Management Bureau and the Water Guard, the dean is awarding commendations and prizes to Reina-san, so please tell me.]
Since Lesha was not affiliated with the academy, there was no reason to receive a commendation from the dean.
However, if it was to replace the Metropolitan Police Agency, the National Police Agency, and the Monster Management Bureau, an agency in charge of villains, there were good reasons.
So Lesha was trembling now.
Still, the succubus ‘Queen’ is afraid to stand in front of a crowd.
Have you ever stood on the throne?
Suddenly, Lesha ascended to the throne and said, ‘Yes, two years..! I can’t help but laugh out loud at the thought of him shouting out shyly…!’
“Why, why are you laughing… !”
Lesha gets angry at him and looks at me.
“Pooh, no no no.”
“… ! Did you just laugh at me… !”
“Laughing. It’s cute.”
Lesha, who had a sullen expression on her face, blushed hot.
“What, what? cute… all?”
“Does the name of the queen flirt with standing on the podium?”
“But… It’s the first time I’ve been to an official like this… .”
“If you just go up, shake hands with the dean, and come down, that’s it. Don’t worry, it won’t be difficult.”
“Ugh… . Okay… .”
Lesha, who is dying of grass.
His trembling steps looked like a child being dragged to the hospital.
That’s how the academy arrived.
Today was the day of the morning ordinance for the graduating class, so all the graduating class cadets were gathered in the auditorium.
The Hunter Department I belong to, the Magical Engineering Department that makes weapons, and the Alchemy Department.
All three classes are gathered.
And of course, they glanced at me and Lesha, and each of them started to gossip.
-Did you see that bodyguard video?
-yes. Did you have any space movement skills? appeared suddenly.
-Great. Isn’t that skill really rare?
-Among the established hunters, there are probably only two or three people who use space movement skills as far as I know?
Of course, yesterday’s battle with the villain was uploaded to YouTube.
Everything from CCTV footage to personal footage.
And the appearance of Lesha trampling on a B-class villain like an ant was a big issue.
Also, opinions about Lesha’s identity were lined up.
– He said he wasn’t registered with the Hunter Association.
– Were you a villain then?
-Things like that happen, too. Or it could be a member of the Monster Management Bureau or the Water Guard.
-But the way you fight was a complete villain, right?
Among them, a villain who once belonged to Illusion, but was reincarnated due to some kind of opportunity, was a strong reasoning.
‘Actually, the way he fought back then was closer to a villain.’
A free-spirited, yet slightly mad fighting method.
I glanced at Lesha, the center of those inferences, but it seemed that the people around me didn’t hear me at the thought of receiving a citation.
“Now, let’s start with the award ceremony today. Han Tae-jin, Baek Mi-jin, and Raina’s bodyguard. Please come up to the podium.”
After a while, we went straight up to the podium by a voice calling us.
And he stood side by side in front of Dean Ki-Hwan Kim.
“I am conferring this citation because you have set an example for others by fighting against villains to keep your sense of moral duty even in a life-threatening situation, and you have made a great contribution to protecting precious lives.”
First my order.
One citation and additional points were given as prizes.
After that, Mijin’s award of citations ended, and it was Lesha’s turn.
“You, together with the Bureau of Monster Management and the Capital Guard, confer this commendation and prize, in recognition of your efforts to protect the safety of two cadets attending the Seoul National Academy and save countless lives.”
Lesha receives the citation with her stiffly outstretched hands.
After shaking hands with the dean, he nodded his head.
For some reason, I felt strange.
“And with the authority of the dean, [Honorary Student] status is awarded to Reina’s bodyguard.”
Oh, honorary students?
I looked at Lesha with a surprised expression at the unexpected injury, but Lesha only had a firm expression on her face.
Honorary cadet was literally an honorary post.
Although they cannot attend lectures and obtain diplomas like regular cadets, they can use all facilities within the academy and can freely enter the campus without a separate permit.
In other words, Lesha now has free access to the academy even without me, and has the right to use various facilities for free at any time.
Seoul Academy’s training ground, training room, and library are among the best in Korea, so it is a great privilege to be able to use them free of charge at all times.
Of course, it was a part that wasn’t very interesting to Lesha.
“Then, this concludes the award ceremony.”
A brief award ceremony.
As I descended from the podium and waited, Lesha came down with a creak like a wooden doll.
For some reason, this time I felt strange.
It makes me want to pamper my ass.
But because it can’t be.
“Well done. Isn’t it great?”
As soon as he touched the floor of the auditorium with his feet, hot steam rose above Lesha’s head.
“Huh… . It was hard… .”
The more I look at it, the more Lesha looks more like a mite than a queen.
##
“You know there is a festival going on soon, right? We’ll start preparing for the festival from next week, so let’s talk slowly. got it?”
“”yes~!””
After all the lectures, Ella said so before the ceremony.
To start preparing for the festival slowly.
Everyone answered the word ‘festival’ excitedly, but I only shook my head as if sober.
that day soon
Because it is the day [Illusion’s Academy Terror Incident] takes place.
It seems that the main episode in the middle of the original is approaching.
‘Time is so fast.’
And since I had to read the hidden information in that episode, I went straight to somewhere.
Today, instead of acquiring Hidden Peace, I was about to try something else.
‘Villain Hunt’.
Yesterday, I got the resistance effect as a reward just because I made a contribution to the subjugation of the B-class villain.
This is to determine whether the reward was a simple coincidence, a system error, or just a temporary reward.
So, he and Lesha had arrived at the [Alchemy Lab] next to the main building of the academy.
Academy In novels, the academy is a place where incidents and accidents always happen.
As it is the main stage of the novel, it is unavoidable.
So, it happens today.
Of course, this was one of the [Lesper Villain] pages in the limited edition set-up.
As an incident that did not appear in the original work, in simple terms, a villain named ‘Kim Dae-hoon’ blows up the Alchemy Department’s laboratory.
Kim Dae-hoon is one of the graduating class cadets of the Department of Alchemy, and he was a villain who hid his identity.
Apparently, he was a villain for filling out the setting book pages, so there was no clear motive or past.
Only the reward, event, and date appear briefly, but the reward he will drop was [Electricity], which still boasts a 0 value among the resistance effects I have.
Of course, my memory is not accurate, so I had to check if he was the villain.
How pathetic would it be if you caught a strict person and then kicked them in a chainsaw?
“Lesha, wait here. I’ll come talk to you.”
Lesha decided to separate for a while.
After all, he’s a low-level villain, so he’s no match for me.
And even if he was an honorary student, he could not even enter the laboratory.
Because only cadets and professors with official ID cards were allowed to enter the laboratory.
“Hmm… I’m kind of anxious.”
“This is the academy. don’t worry.”
“It disappears without talking again. know? I will cry.”
“Well then.”
After making Lesha wait outside, I went into the lab.
and.
“Kim Dae-hoon?”
I faced Kim Dae-hoon, who was alone in the lab.
“Han Tae-jin? What are you doing here?”
Although the departments were different, they did not respect each other because the seniors had exchanges through clubs, training, and parties.
At that moment, I saw him be wary of me and hide behind something.
“Oh, I have something to talk about.”
“with me? What.”
I couldn’t do things by relying on 99% of my memory, not 100%.
The case is completely different from Hidden Peace. Because this is a life at stake.
I decided to ask him a question that would make 99’s memory 100.
“Are you a villain?”
“… ?”
… uh, um.
After spitting it out, that’s a pretty stupid question.
If you ask me if I am an all-out villain, who will say ‘No! How did you know!’
It’s not like I took the evidence.
Well.
“Damn it!”
– Back!
The guy started running away.
uh… this, this… it works… ?
Did a straight-forward question with no bottom and no end pierce the vertex? ?
Anyway, I had to quickly chase after him without even calling Lesha.
“at there! Introverted shuttle-!”
