I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

Chapter 90: How To Conquer A Villain (3)

As eternal as the East Sea and Baekdu Mountain, I felt refreshed after spending some patriotism time with Gunggi.

“So, have you recovered your magic power?”

“It’s fully charged.”

The magic power transferred from Gunggi was in my body. To be precise, I had reclaimed the magic power I’d previously put into her body.

The bodies of the executives were filled with my magic power, and the executives were able to use a stronger power with my magic power. The explanation was a bit complex, but now was not the time to explain.

“You know that the worst thing is to give and take back, right?”

“Please overlook this. As compensation, I’ll refill it right after this work ends.”

“I’m kidding. From the position of asking for help, I can’t say such a stingy thing.”

“But why are you saying this?”

“If I say this, the chief will promise to refill it.”

I was caught. Gunggi winked and lifted her teacup, and I made a verbal promise to refill her magic power immediately.

“I guess I can’t go straight to Seoul.”

“I’ll give you a ride when I cross over to Gimpo Airport by a charter plane. Then, won’t you be able to go comfortably without being tracked?”

“Please carry the bike, too.”

“Of course. Then, can I start the briefing now?”

“Just a moment.”

I asked Gunggi for her understanding and closed my eyes.

‘Status window.’

To check my current status, I put my physical condition on my eyelid.

It had increased very slightly. The grade had not increased at all, and the ability values had only changed in the front digits. While the magic power had shown the most noticeable growth due to continuous usage, the other areas hadn’t increased significantly to my satisfaction.

Of course, expecting a significant increase in such a short time seemed unreasonable, but human greed was endless.

‘The strengthening of the body and the ability score are completely different.’

I think my physical strength and endurance were decent, but the problem was that this was based on the standard of ability users.

Compared to ordinary people, I was naturally comparable to Hercules and Hulk, but when it came to real A-grade strength or endurance, you could lift and swing a ten-story building single-handedly.

Regrettably, I couldn’t do that. Smashing everything with the Goblin Bat was not physical strength but magic power, a technique using special abilities.

At least I wanted to increase my magic power a little more. The power I used most was imagination; to make that imagination real, I needed magic power.

‘Well, that’s also being greedy.’

This was tremendous growth compared to others whose figures did not increase by 1 in a month. And the indicators shown in the status window do not reveal everything about me.

“The absorption is over.”

“It seems my magic power has been mixed in a bit, but that’s not what I intended?”

“Rather, that’s good. I’m grateful.”

“… Doesn’t that bother you a bit when you transform?”

“I just need to exert my power in the direction that suits your magic power traits.”

If I had to say the total amount of magic power flowing in my body now, it was ‘A-grade’. Of course, if I had to classify the magic power I received from Gunggi into an attribute, it would be a ‘fire attribute’, so the available abilities would be a bit limited. However, because it was of the fire attribute, the usage was limitless within the category of flames.

“Chief. I can play an active part now.”

With A-grade magic power and my magic power control ability, combined with the Goblin Bat, I was not afraid of any S-grade. No matter what S-grade came, I would not lose, and if I could accurately find the weakness and attack it, I could win at any time.

The time was 3 am. There was still a long time until sunrise, but assassinations were usually carried out at night.

“Who is our opponent coming out of Hwalbindang? Looking at the mask, it seems like there’s at least a wooden stake.”

“The core issue is ‘Yeongno’. He’s the main person who directly stepped forward to assassinate Yuliana this time.”

Gunggi showed a video on the TV screen.

In the video, a man in a mask, sitting in a place that looks like a grandmaster’s house in loose attire, held a pipe.

-Yuliana Feygreen of October Travel, watch out. From now on, we will reclaim the future of this country that you have stolen. We will kill you and take back our country’s future. Resistance is useless. You, who dared to steal our treasure and try to run away, will surely die. That’s all.

Beep.

The video ended with a concise death threat.

The peculiar point was that Yeongno wore a mask with horns. It was slightly ambiguous whether it was a tiger or a lion, similar to a goblin.

“I looked up the term ‘Yeongno’. It’s one of the traditional monsters. It seems like he took that as a motif.”

“A monster from Korea….”

As I roughly understood it, it was a voracious monster that swallowed something.

On the outside, it looked like a normal man, but would he really move according to the motif of his name?

I didn’t know.

Even if we just looked at our Yi Maemangryang, there were many cases where the names of executives or villains were similar to their actual abilities, but there were also people with strange names regardless of the match.

“So when did this man say he would assassinate? The date doesn’t come out in the video.”

“Um… today?”

“……?”

“About four hours from now. Originally, he planned to kidnap her on her way to Yangyang to catch a plane. Then he intended to plunder the treasure she tried to steal and then kill her. But because the information leaked, Yuliana ended up staying in Samcheok? It all got messed up.”

“…….”

I could roughly understand just by hearing the story.

“Didn’t you leak it through the ‘brewers’? That information?”

“…Hehe.”

Brewer did not refer to the singular.

In Sejong Island, there was only one brewer, but in other places, there was at least one brewer in each city.

It was a brewer network.

“I don’t know how secretly October Travel moved, but at least if they try such a large-scale assassination with that so-called treasure, October Travel wouldn’t have moved ordinarily either. Even for Hwalbindang, it wouldn’t have been easy to notice. You gathered the information…and spread it to Hwalbindang.”

“That’s right. To be precise, the information leaked from Gyeolsa. You remember last time Hwalbindang appeared where you were supposed to step in?”

“There’s no way you got tricked. Was it a counter-operation?”

“Correct. I leaked the information through that guy. He has ‘gone quiet’ now.”

To ‘go quiet.’

A slang term.

Similar expressions would be ‘to get nailed by security’ or ‘to get nailed by the cops.’

It was not a pleasant term, so there’s no need to go into detail. If someone within the organization was in collusion with Hwalbindang, from the organization’s perspective, they were nothing more than a rotten apple that needs to be decisively cut off.

If Hwalbindang helped further the vision of the organization, that would be one thing. However, the aims of Hwalbindang were completely different from those of the organization.

“I don’t understand why someone within the organization would leak information for such a group. Did they have family, perhaps?”

“We’re still guessing. Or perhaps they were acting for the benefit of this country alone within the organization. After all, Hwalbindang is a group that only thinks of this country’s interests.”

Their motives might be different, but they were similar to Duoexini. If the group that Duoexini belonged to aims to demonize all other things to make Korea great, then Hwalbindang was an organization focusing on rooting out domestic corruption.

“… It’s a bit surprising that Hwalbindang acted rather than Wi Jeong Cheoksa. Given the current situation, it would seem more appropriate for Wi Jeong Cheoksa to act.”

“I agree. In that regard…Wi Jeong Cheoksa might be making a move as we speak.”

“Really?”

“Yes. It’s a hunch.”

“…… That’s what I was hoping for.”

It was good timing.

Apart from the Yumir issue, I was thinking that Duoexini needed to be taken down. If Wi Jeong Cheoksa appears, the execution would be more definitive.

“Whether it’s Hwalbindang, Wi Jeong Cheoksa, or whoever, I’ll handle it. What’s my assigned mission?”

“To execute the villain. The target is… it’s a bit of a complex situation.”

Gunggi scratched her head as if she was explaining something annoying.

“Yuliana Faygreen caused an accident, Hwalbindang is targeting Yuliana, Wi Jeong Cheoksa has an opportunity to intervene since a foreign company’s person caused an accident. And for the organization, the goal is to keep the current world’s flow as undisturbed as possible for world conquest.”

“Looking at how roundabout your explanation is, it seems like the situation has turned really messy?”

“Exactly. Right now, the organization…needs to ‘protect’ Yuliana Faygreen.”

“What?”

All of a sudden?

“Protect her from Hwalbindang?”

“Yes. It would be troublesome if Yuliana Fairgreen died in Korea. If the granddaughter of October Travel is killed by a Korean villain, it could become an international issue.”

“So it doesn’t matter if she dies outside of Korea, abroad?”

“Yes. Whether she goes back to her country and lives or dies is none of our concern, but the act she’s committed right now has created quite a horrific situation.”

“Seeing you reluctant to explain, it seems like a particularly unsavory matter.”

“…Yes.”

Gunggi didn’t like discussing such topics.

“It would be problematic if October Travel crumbles. While people like Stern don’t have much influence in Korea, if October Travel goes under, most flights to Gangwon Province will be stopped. Then, the organization’s revenue from the Gangwon Province region would considerably decrease.”

“So I’ve become a bodyguard out of the blue.”

“Correct. It’s an annoying situation.”

Yet, taking on this role was for the benefit of the organization as a whole.

“So what treasure did Yuliana steal? Some traditional pottery made by a craftsman?”

“The problem is what’s inside. That’s…”

Gunggi showed the face of another person.

“Do you know who this is?”

“…’ Armored Taejo?’”

The President’s grandson.

An S-class hero.

A troublemaker in a powered dragon suit.

He was not a villain.

Just his actions were on a troublesome level.

“What’s his relationship with this situation?”

“Yuliana stole this man’s DNA. And now, she’s trying to flee to another country.”

“…….”

No way.
