I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

Chapter 6: Living As A Villain (1)



Chapter 6: Living As A Villain (1)

Approximately two days had passed since the Red Scarf incident.

I immediately fled to Gangwon Province, hid myself, stole some clothes from a rural marketplace, and then took a taxi home.

Teleporting home while still appearing as Goblin?

[That’s where the Goblin disappeared! Fire the missiles!]

[Minister! That’s a densely populated area!]

[I don’t care! Just disguise it as an accident caused by the Goblin’s explosion! It’s a small sacrifice for the greater good! Kill him!!]

If I returned home as Goblin, a missile might have suddenly flown to my house while I was asleep.

This was that kind of neighborhood.

After Red Scarf’s head exploded.

I disposed of Red Scarf and immediately hid myself to avoid those coming in from afar.

Snow White did not chase me.

She appeared to be greatly shocked by the ‘assassination’ of the villain, and I didn’t have time to comfort her.

[Let’s meet again next time. Sorry, but I don’t have time for goodbyes right now.]

[There’s a Goblin over there!! Catch him!!]

Those who had rushed from afar were the government’s ‘Execution Squad’.

Unlike me, who was a villain that captured or killed other villains, the government also formed a special squad to eliminate villains.

[It’s a plea bargain! If you bring in the Villain Executioner, Goblin, we’ll grant you a stay of execution. But you must follow the higher-ups’ orders.]

[What? I can get out of prison, kill people if I follow orders, and above all, catch that bastard Goblin with my own hands? Bring the stamp!]

I had captured quite a few villains.

There was a process they called ‘resocialization’, but the people in this process could be truly called the government’s dogs.

These dogs embellished, covered up, and manipulated situations as part of their daily routine to ensure the state was not disadvantaged.

A prime example was this news headline.

“The Goblin Smashes Red Scarf’s Head.”

The dirty deeds committed by these dogs were twisted to suit their needs by the media as well as the V-Tube Lexica.

“That cruel bastard. How could he blow up the head of a young man who just became an adult and was freshly released from a juvenile center just because he’s a villain?”

“That’s your story.”

“That’s why I’m saying it.”

I exchanged greetings with a woman I met in a seldom-visited cafe.

“Chairwoman. Don’t you think this is too much? The country treats him recklessly just because he’s a villain.”

“Living as a villain is like this. The only option is to fight formally. Become a V-Tube star and secure fans.”

This small blonde-haired girl, around 20 cm shorter than me, who could easily be mistaken for a young child, was the head of our evil organization, the ‘Suicide Squad’, Yi Maemangnyang.

“How about you, Chief Do? Do you want to debut as an idol? A villain idol. If you become a male idol that people love to hate, so-called fans will defend you even if you kill a villain.”

“No thanks. Considering what could happen when I transform back…ugh.”

I declined the Chairwoman’s offer.

“You’re strong now, aren’t you? Honestly, being a Villain Executioner is quite popular right now. Especially among people who have lost their families to villains.”

“Those people will change their minds when they see me transform back.”

When I transformed into a Goblin, I became incredibly strong.

The reason I, who was just an ordinary villain, became this strong was due to the intense training I underwent to survive the possession.

If the original Goblin was nothing more than a common executive under the 4th tier, now it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I was among the top 6 of Yi Maemangnyang.

Obviously, the top 1 to 5 were the Chairwoman and the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ beneath her.

“Who would like to have a penalty of becoming naked when they transform back?”

“That’s why you’re building your body, right? To prevent social suicide?”

“Ugh.”

The Chairwoman’s gaze shifted to my body.

After that first possession.

I did my best to build up my body.

“Should the transformation ever reverse, I strived for a level of physique that wouldn’t merely elicit a laugh – ‘Look at that dude’s body lol’ – but awe – ‘Holy shit, look at that guy’s body…’.”

“If a suave goblin in a suit turned out to be a fat, balding old man, his popularity would surely plummet. But what if he had a body like a bodybuilder? Plus….”

The chairman’s gaze dropped, and she began to idly swish the iced tea cup set in front of her.

“The goblin’s club….”

“Chairman, that’s sexual harassment.”

“You should take pride, Chief Do. You’re always hiding the goblin’s club.”

“I said it’s sexual harassment.”

This girl.

I would have put her in her place a while ago if she weren’t underage. The fact that she’s a minor was what kept me from doing so.

Well, she was a minor, which was probably why she ran an evil organization that seriously dreamt of world domination.

A woman whose IQ surpassed 200, a genius mind that couldn’t be measured by traditional IQ tests, was using her intellect to run such an evil organization.

‘Because I’m poor, I will rule the world.’

After a lot of consideration for world peace, she concluded that it would be most secure and efficient if she directly ruled the world. As a result, she created the evil organization ‘Yi Maemangryang’.

Thanks to her, I was able to live well as a villain, and because of her, I could get out of this murder charge.

“Alright, alright. Let’s postpone your idol project, Chief Do. Let’s talk about ‘Red Scarf’ for now. Anyway, the situation isn’t as bad as we thought. Because of this.”

The chairman took out a tablet and played a video.

“Chief Do, we’re really lucky, right? It’s a relief that a nearby CCTV was working. Hehe.”

“Isn’t it getting deleted from V-Tube right now?”

“The fact that it started spreading on V-Tube means everyone who needed to see it already did. Tada.”

The footage was quite old. It was a CCTV screen from the Gyeongbu Expressway, showing me and a white-haired superhuman.

Red Scarf lying on the ground, his wings torn.

Snow White, attempting to restrain me using ice magic.

Me approaching Snow White with a bat slung over my shoulder, gangster-style.

And Red Scarf’s head suddenly exploded despite being more than 20 meters away from us.

“From a distance, there’s absolutely no sound, but it’s bound to look like Chief Do is instigating an argument to anyone watching.”

“It’s because Red Scarf was interfering with her defeat, so he went to warn him.”

The reality was different.

The actual conversation was about her gratitude for my cooperation, and I said that it wasn’t cooperation but a voluntary act on my part.

But since there was no sound in the video, it looked like I was attacking Red Scarf and then going to attack Snow White afterward.

“See this part? When Chief Do bows his waist and approaches closer? At this moment, I thought they were going to kiss. Kyah…!”

“What do you mean by kiss? How can there be a kiss while wearing a goblin mask?”

“Weren’t they supposed to kiss through the mask and say, ‘Next time, we’ll really kiss’?”

“No, that was not the case.”

“How disappointing.”

The Chairwoman pouted her lips.

“Try that next time. That way, you can shake Snow White’s heart and bring her to our side.”

“…Are you serious?”

“Yes. I’m always serious.”

The Chairwoman straightened her posture seriously.

“I want to bring Snow White to our side.”

That was why I suppressed Red Scarf instead of killing him.

Recruiting Snow White, the S-rank hero.

If I were to compare the Chairwoman to someone, I could say that she was a tiny child.

She was a person who really craved talent.

That was why she came all the way here to Seoul, Korea, to meet me in person.

The reason?

Because in half a year, I had become an executive under her direct control!

“It’s great to have competent people like Chief Do rise from the bottom, but it’s also good to scout known talents, right? Especially those who are treated unfairly by the government.”

“You’re absolutely right.”

“Currently, all the heroes under the government are knowingly or unknowingly under their influence. It’s not for no reason that Red Scarf calls the heroes’ the government’s dogs.’ There are indeed some independent heroes, but most are leashed to the country.”

The Chairwoman openly furrowed her brow.

“Family. Money. Patriotism. Friends. Religion. Land. They look for anything that can be a leash to oppress the heroes. This is our current government. The biggest leash of all is…?”

“Sejong Island?”

“Exactly! What the superhumans most desire. The very source of their powers… the land itself that can increase their mana. Just by living in a house built on the East Sea, mana increases; thus, the superhumans can’t easily leave this land.”

The Chairwoman shook her head.

“Mana is the power of the superhuman. Increasing this mana is the goal of the superhumans. That’s why they’re not afraid to even touch such a dangerous thing.”

The Chairwoman swiped the screen of the tablet.

“In foreign countries, they call this the ‘Devil’s Eye.’ Devil Eyes. Magic Eye. The name is not important, but what’s important is that this is like a forbidden drug that temporarily amplifies a superhuman’s mana.”

I knew about it.

Because that was the root cause of all kinds of incidents in this world.

“The government is making this. The place where it is probably being made is… ‘Sejong Island’.”

A faraway place.

Ulleungdo, to the southwest, following the sea route, it was at least fifty li.

“Sejong Academy, the superhuman training facility. There’s a high possibility that they’re studying the power of the devil there. So.”

There was a huge island there.

An island more than ten times the size of Yeouido.

“Chief Do?”

“Yes, Chairwoman.”

“I think you need to infiltrate the Academy.”

“…….”

So, it came to this.
