My On*Hole Academy [EN]: Chapter 182

EP.180 Isabella, the Novice in Love

*

After finishing her usual patrol, Isabella headed to the Correctional Headquarters.

She was going to see Xenovia.

The Correctional Headquarters building was stark white. It was as if someone had poured bleach all over it, offering no aesthetic appeal. It was like plopping a block of tofu in the middle of the road.

If someone said, “You’re going to a white place like that?” it usually meant the Correctional Headquarters. What went on inside was not open to the public.

There was a rumor that harsh torture for the resocialization of villains was carried out as a daily routine,

but for the guards, it was just a job.

Isabella breezed through the complex security gates and walked in with a dignified air. In front of her stood two women, one with black hair and the other with blonde hair, wearing white guard uniforms that accentuated their figures.

The height difference between the two was quite noticeable.

“Director. What brings you here?”

the taller one asked.

“I came to see Xenovia.”

“Ah, yes. She’s regained consciousness.”

“What did she say?”

“She doesn’t say anything in particular.”

The three naturally walked in the same direction while talking.

“She intermittently regained consciousness for 1 to 2 seconds, but this time she’s been awake for more than a minute.”

“…….”

“There was something I wanted to ask you when you came, Director. You didn’t do this yourself, did you?”

“Hey.”

The smaller one snapped, annoyed, and stopped the taller guard.

But Isabella didn’t react.

She seemed to have lost her words just looking at her sister’s appearance through the special glass barrier.

“It doesn’t make sense that an S-class villain is beaten up like that and you’re fine. Looking at the wounds, I thought it was an incredible struggle.”

“…My assistant was quite capable.”

“Xenovia is barely alive thanks to life support.”

‘Barely alive.’

Xenovia looked like that was the only way to describe her.

Her hair was completely shaved. There were surgical scars on her head from several brain surgeries.

Her eyes were almost closed, and her mouth was filled with an oxygen respirator.

Hanging such a critically ill patient in restraints, unable to lie down or sit, was a fitting measure for the Correctional Headquarters’ reputation.

However.

If you knew that the person was a villain who killed 50,000 innocent citizens, this wouldn’t even be considered a punishment.

It was just that Xenovia was dying today or tomorrow, so they were treating her before asking for the price of her sins.

It was not much different from trying to keep a criminal who attempted suicide before a war crimes trial alive to bring them to trial.

But.

Isabella felt complicated seeing her sister with her head shaved and dying.

‘…….’

In fact,

wasn’t the villain Xenovia finished?

Overwhelming violence swept through her body. Isabella, who wanted the villains punished, didn’t use violence to ruin the enemy’s body, but the Grim Reaper’s touch was excessively harsh.

‘How dare you touch Kim Sanghyuk?’

As if saying that, the Grim Reaper’s beating covered Xenovia,

and she had to repay the sin of piercing Kim Sanghyuk’s chest a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

With that body…….

“I’ll talk for a bit, so leave us alone. Little Jack.”

“You can’t kill her? It’s our job to correct Xenovia.”

This time, the smaller one agreed.

“There are three groups of guards who lost their parents to her.”

“I know. Xenovia is the leader of the Villain Alliance. I just want information.”

Quintia’s solo action.

The movements of the Villain Alliance…….

Since she didn’t know well, asking Xenovia herself was the fastest way. Because she was the leader.

Isabella unlocked the security and stood in front of her dying sister.

“…….”

The blinking of Xenovia’s eyes changed when the respirator was removed.

It was a slight change, but that alone changed the atmosphere.

“…Isa, bella.”

“…Xenovia.”

“You mustn’t… be happy….”

…….

Xenovia smiled faintly.

“I am… your misfortune….”

“…Stop it. No more of that. It’s all over now.”

“…All… over?”

“Yes. The Villain Alliance will collapse because it lost its leader. Xenovia, whatever you planned, this will be unexpected.”

“…….”

Aren’t you guys in big trouble now?

Isabella was saying that. It was a rational inference based on rational judgment.

It was too obvious that Kim Sanghyuk’s existence was unexpected for the Villain Alliance. Even the Academy didn’t know how to deal with the Persona Excretion [a unique ability or phenomenon] until recently, so they were anxious.

In fact, it’s not just Persona Excretion.

Kim Sanghyuk is loved by God.

He’s a reliable boyfriend, but at the same time, he’s vulnerable and needs protection. There was a high possibility that the Villain Alliance would move systematically.

“It’s meaningless to dream of revenge. Xenovia.”

“…Are you anxious?”

Xenovia seemed to see through Isabella’s mind.

“Not at all. Why would I, who caught the leader of the Villain Alliance, be anxious?”

“…….”

She seemed to ponder those words for a long time.

In fact, she seemed unconscious. The life support was red, and she was barely breathing.

Xenovia said weakly but clearly.

“…Villains.”

“…….”

“Don’t unite…….”

“……?”

Isabella frowned, pondering what that meant.

“…Don’t you know?”

Xenovia muttered.

“Real villains don’t raise alliances like that…… Isabella.”

“…Multiple villains have been witnessed acting with you. Don’t deny it.”

“Really? Do you think those guys… will obediently… not bite if I tell them not to bite, and wait if I tell them to wait?”

Every villain seemed to fear and worship Xenovia.

Every time big and small incidents happened, the Xenovia mastermind theory circulated, and some people claimed that the next time she appeared, she would cause hundreds of thousands, millions of victims.

Many media outlets rushed to publish even a snippet of Xenovia’s appearance, and everyone couldn’t hide their excitement when a black figure was caught.

Villain Alliance, where is the next attack…….

News articles like that poured out.

“…Do you really think so?”

But she says there was no such thing from the beginning.

“Then why did you target me? You suddenly targeted me on the street. Isn’t that the cornerstone of your plan?”

“…I told you…. Because you were smiling happily…….”

“…….”

“Hahaha…….”

Xenovia pretended to laugh dryly. Then, her whole body ached from the vibration of her vocal cords, and she let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes tightly.

“Hoo… I told you… I am your misfortune….”

“Just for that reason……!”

Despite resolving not to respond emotionally,

Isabella’s mind was easily boiling.

“You, were you trying to kill someone you met for the first time?”

“…Villains are the scum of society….”

Xenovia struggled.

She didn’t even listen to Isabella’s words and continued her own.

“…You guys, twist and turn… trying to force them in… and when the shape doesn’t fit, you throw them away….”

“…….”

“Now that… you think the broken things will stick together… it’s quite funny…….”

“…Look at yourself now. No matter how strong a villain is, there are things they can’t solve alone. What’s wrong with borrowing someone else’s strength in that case?”

There is a lot of material evidence that followers follow her.

But Isabella couldn’t understand why Xenovia was directly denying the existence of the『Villain Alliance』, which had documents and hideouts. Was it because she was caught, because of pride? Was she trying to act strong? It didn’t seem like it. Isabella didn’t understand the villain’s way of thinking, the underlying thoughts of the villain.

No matter how strong and beautiful a hero is, Isabella is a student. She didn’t have professional profiling knowledge, and even if she did, anyone would freeze when faced with this darkness.

“Your man will die…. Even if I don’t do it……. There are a lot of things that smelled it….”

“Is that the Villain Alliance’s plan? Why are you targeting Kim Sanghyuk?! Answer me!”

“Because it smells… delicious…….”

“What’s delicious?! Why are you targeting Kim Sanghyuk!”

“……You… wouldn’t know…….”

It’s not just a sound to scare you.

She had that feeling, but she couldn’t understand what she was saying.

Isabella clenched her fists tightly and trembled with frustration.

She didn’t like that Xenovia was so cheerful, as if she was telling jokes that only she knew, and that she was just being swayed by it.

‘It doesn’t make sense to hit Kim Sanghyuk now.’

How long has it been since Seridwen warned her?

If the Villain Alliance had any common sense, they would definitely avoid offending Master Hunter.

…….

After the unpleasant meeting, the guard Little Jack asked her expression.

“Director?”

“…Monitor her thoroughly. Don’t let her do anything stupid.”

“Yes.”

Anyway, Xenovia can’t move for the time being.

That’s the only fact.

Isabella, who came out of the headquarters, sat on a bench for a while and fiddled with her smartphone.

[Kim Sanghyuk] (Profile picture of his face in school uniform)

‘Should I send a message?’

She’s worried.

Shake her head. But Isabella shook her head because of her pride.

‘What worry are you talking about.’

Until recently, she was nagging him as a student of interest and calling him like a servant, suddenly?

Isn’t it too shameless…?

‘It’s sudden that she became his girlfriend….’

Should I contact him honestly saying that I’m worried about my boyfriend at times like this?

She doesn’t know what to do.

Kim Sanghyuk is Isabella’s first boyfriend in her life, and probably the last.

The student council president was naturally thinking that.

[Isabella]

Evangeline, I have something to ask

[Evangeline]

What is it?

[Isabella]

Are you in the middle of the second grade class right now? How is it? Kim Sanghyuk’s group

[Evangeline]

If there’s anything special, the gravitational waves are showing variability. Maybe he’ll come out with a change of heart if it’s dangerous…. No news.

[Isabella]

What should I say when I’m generally worried about my boyfriend?

The student council group chat froze for a moment.

[Evangeline]

……Are you dating? With Kim Sanghyuk?

[Isabella]

That’s how it happened.

[Evangeline]

Wow!!! How? How did you date? Who confessed first?

All the student council members shot emoticons, and the group chat was paralyzed for a while.

Isabella was slightly embarrassed.

She didn’t expect the reaction to be so enthusiastic.

[Isabella]

Kim Sanghyuk confessed first. What should I write and send when I’m worried about my boyfriend?

[Evangeline]

Tell him you miss him!

[Student Council Member]

Ask him what he’s doing now! How about sending a selfie of the president?

[Student Council Member 2]

Aegyo! How about aegyo?? [acting cute]

She was just going to ask how he was doing, but everyone was pouring out all sorts of orders, as if they were trying to have a pseudo-romance with Kim Sanghyuk using the silver-haired, busty student council president as an avatar.

Isabella listened to it without filtering and recalled Sanghyuk’s words.

「Next time you contact me, contact me with lovely aegyo」

“……!”

[Isabella]

Aegyo seems to be the answer. What kind of aegyo comments are there? Please give me something lovely.

The collective intelligence of the student council gathered, and Isabella was able to receive the answer sheet smoothly.

‘Is this right.’

She was worried about her boyfriend. Contact me.

She thought she could just write it plainly, but things got bigger before she knew it.

Inevitably, Isabella blushed slightly and tapped out a message.

[Isabella]

What are you doing, honey? You have to contact me as soon as you check? ❤️

‘I don’t think this is it…….’

Anyway, it was a message that he would contact her as soon as he saw it.
