Chapter 55 – Why Did I Think the Hero Route Would Be Normal? (2)
“To acquire a hero license, a complicated procedure is necessary, but this time it will be omitted.”
“Special treatment?”
“Think of it as a provisional license.”
Hmm. Like an internship at a company?
“So. What do I do with this?”
“You need to build 実績 (shitsuseki) [achievements/a proven track record]. To prove your ability is safe.”
……I don’t think it will ever feel safe, no matter what I do.
“Can I just take on any mission?”
“Look at the mission details. It’s best if you only move when the villain’s approximate stats are public. It would be good to grasp their talent compatibility too, but you’ll only be able to do that with experience.”
“Then, should I build 実績 (shitsuseki) [achievements] with these… calm missions like 「Street Cleaning」….”
“No.”
Isabella stops my finger as I try to click the street cleaning mission.
Huhuhu…….
Please let me finish with volunteer work.
“Even if it’s a trivial villain, aim to defeat villains.”
“What if I shoot and the opponent dies?”
“In the worst case, it doesn’t matter. The Hero Association will take care of it.”
Really?
I can just shoot? Come to think of it…….
In countries where guns are allowed, they shoot even if a criminal’s hand just goes into their pocket.
“There’s something you need to keep in mind when you’re doing hero work. Don’t think of villains as people.”
“Then what should I think of them as?”
“That’s obvious.”
The student council president with goddess-like silver hair,
struck my heart with words that were like a cliché from a heroine getting 참교육 (chamgyoyuk) [righteous comeuppance/justice served].
“They are the evil of society that must be uprooted.”
I was able to hear an explanation about the Special Villain Act.
Korea’s villain punishment law is stricter compared to foreign countries, and in the worst case, villains can even be killed on the spot.
Why is that?
The great disasters caused by individuals with dangerous talents are worse than mass shootings.
At least a hundred, at most a thousand people.
In Australia, hundreds of thousands of people died due to the awakening of an ability user.
“A guy who has decided and planned to become a villain already has high stats, so guns often don’t work.”
“Then how do you catch them?”
“I said it doesn’t matter if it’s a trivial villain. Anyway… if you defeat a villain, your freedom gets a lot closer.”
“……I understand.”
You can’t escape from being a student of interest by just cleaning the streets.
It seemed like it would be a slightly hardcore volunteer activity.
“I’ll help you if necessary. I don’t intend to give you very dangerous work.”
“That’s a relief. I thought you hated me, so I thought I’d be driven to the brink of death.”
“I said 「if necessary」?”
Did 「if necessary」 mean death!?
“It’s really a thorny path.”
“I heard you want to be a proud older brother to your younger sisters.”
“That’s right….”
“You need to erase your demerit points, right?”
“…….”
Sigh.
It seems like there’s really no place to run now.
“Your ability, Personality Excretion, is very effective against villains. I know because I’ve been hit by it.”
“…That’s right.”
“The higher the stats and the more outstanding the talent, the harder it is to suppress them. The teacher evaluates your ability very highly.”
If it’s the teacher, is it Cerridwen?
“I also think there’s a high possibility that you’ll work at the Correctional Bureau.”
“……You’re suddenly pushing me a lot.”
Is this giving me medicine after giving me the disease?
Isabella moves away by another space, straightens her back, and says coolly.
“The future depends on your choice. Whether you remain a rotten criminal, villain scum… or become a proud older brother.”
“…….”
While getting off the subway, Isabella said.
“Have you decided on a hero name?”
Flinch.
“Ah, no?”
“It’s good for you to decide. Once others decide for you, you can’t change it.”
“……Is that so?”
“Yes.”
White Devil.
She didn’t choose it because she wanted to.
What should I do? Onahole Man? Personality Excretion Man?
There’s nothing normal among the candidates.
Let’s think about that slowly…….
‘There’s a low possibility that I’ll encounter a villain today.’
“Kyaaak! It’s a villain!”
Flinch.
Could it be that I have to go? No, right?
Gunshots were heard a few blocks away.
As the student council president headed that way, I unconsciously grabbed her arm.
“It’s dangerous! Let’s get out of here quickly!”
“If I get out of here, who will stop that?”
On the main street, criminals wearing black masks were exchanging fire with the police like a scene from a movie.
“This is A-31, engaging with the villain!”
“The villain is currently occupying the Hunter Association building by force. Their goal is identified as coins!”
“Send heroes! Quickly!”
It’s shocking.
Is this the Korea I knew?
콰아앙! [Sound of an explosion]
The police car set up as a barrier in the front is hit by an RPG fired by the criminal and flies away.
“President! Are you okay?”
“Wait here. This is my mission.”
What is she going to do? I felt dizzy.
In a situation where it seems realistic to leave it to the military and run away,
she walks elegantly in her riding suit as if she’s going to greet the horse she’s going to ride, talks with the police who are 은엄폐 (euneompe) [taking cover] – even while standing upright – and walks right into the middle of the main street where the villains are shooting.
“President!!”
I shouted without realizing it.
“I told you to watch.”
Is she really okay? Isn’t it dangerous?
How can a female student walk into a scene where rifle bullets are pouring down? Is that even possible?
‘Am I weird?’
“I’ll shoot if you come any closer!”
Without succumbing to the villain’s warning, Isabella continues to walk. Forward.
Then, something white spewed out from around Isabella’s lower back.
“This 씨발 (ssibal) [fuck]! It’s the White Devil.”
“Quickly get the coins! What are you doing!”
“Just run! We’re all going to die if we don’t go now!”
The villains are agitated.
The mysterious liquid that came out of Isabella’s lower back soon became a suit that stuck to her body.
She transformed…….
Is that the student council president’s masterpiece……?
Rifle bullets poured down to stop her from arming herself,
but when I saw it, she was already ignoring the rifle bullets even before putting on the suit.
Isabella, wearing a white full-body suit and a mask emitting green light.
Only her silver hair extends out long.
Wow. Cool.
A heroine who transforms!
A somewhat modulated voice echoed from within that mask.
“Surrender. I’ll wait 10 seconds. 10, 9…….”
“Damn it! Pour everything out!”
The villains, no, the terrorists, attack Isabella using all the means they have.
Multiple explosions occurred, and even I, who was 50m away, felt like my insides were vibrating from the blast pressure.
However, Isabella was just standing still as if she was feeling a gentle breeze.
‘……Amazing.’
After the promised time passed. Isabella moves.
That figure was so fast that it was only visible for a very short time even with 홍안 (hongan) [enhanced vision] turned on,
and the villains were all subdued in an instant.
“H, হিiek!!”
Isabella meticulously punches each and every one of them into a pulp…….
“Don’t come near me! If you don’t want to see this girl die…!”
Even the last villain who was putting on a pathetic hostage situation is dealt with a swift kick.
To ordinary people, it would have only looked like Isabella suddenly appeared and was standing there.
‘Her whole body was a human weapon. Our president…….’
“끄아악!!” [Scream]
A criminal with his arm blown off cries out pathetically.
“Stop it now.”
“This 씨발년 (ssibalnyeon) [bitch]!”
The guy takes out an SMG with his other hand and fires it at the woman being held hostage.
Isabella approached faster than the villain could pull the trigger and crushed his remaining arm.
“끄악!” [Scream]
“If you had stopped, you could have saved your remaining arm.”
Situation ended.
Isabella, who took off her suit and returned, was no different from when she got off the subway.
“We were lucky today. There were no A-class villains.”
“That wasn’t A-class?”
“If they’re only relying on guns, they’re not very great villains.”
“…….”
No. I definitely saw an RPG, and I saw a grenade launcher too?
They were complete terrorists?
“Can I become a fan of the president? You’re so cool?”
“I thought you hated heroes.”
“Of course I admire cool heroes. I just hate doing it myself!”
Isabella avoided the spot as if it was disgusting.
“Don’t stick to me.”
“President, you’re really cool.”
“……Haa.”
Soon, the hostages were safely rescued by the police riot squad.
It seems that the hostage rescued by Isabella came to express their gratitude in person.
The president indifferently did an interview with the reporters and then came back to me.
“The interview took longer than catching the villains.”
“Top heroes also need image management.”
“You didn’t smile at all for that. You must have been thinking you were annoyed to death inside, right?”
Isabella turned to me in a flash.
“Heroes don’t think like that.”
“I’m 100% sure you did. Haven’t you ever thought, ‘Go away, you’re annoying’?”
“…….”
The president moved away from the scene without answering.
I always thought of her as a heroine character who always tormented me,
but seeing her in action like this, I can’t help but fall for her.
Isabella. She’s an amazing heroine.
How much responsibility is she carrying on her shoulders at such a young age.
“Next is your turn.”
“Yes?”
“Villain information has just come in nearby.”
“President, you know I’ll die if I get hit by a rifle, right?”
I’m only a little over C-class, what if I get hit by a grenade launcher?
If I were an ordinary person, I would die instantly, wouldn’t I just struggle more painfully before going?
“Stop exaggerating. Come this way.”
“No! No. I can’t do it.”
“Information has come in that the villain used to be a student at Essol Academy. They’ve moved their activity area to this neighborhood.”
“Who is it?”
When I looked at the hero app, the villain’s name and related personal information were briefly displayed.
[Serial Exhibitionist Kushina]
A red-haired woman was shown on the screen.
Height 163cm, bust I cup…….
What’s a serial exhibitionist?
“She’s a trivial villain.”
“As I recall, she was a female student who was bullied because of her exhibitionist talent.”
“Exhibitionist talent…….”
“The more she exposes herself, the stronger she becomes. She was caught once and released after a year of rehabilitation, but she committed a repeat offense.”
I have a bad feeling about this.
A serial exhibitionist appearing on the first day of my provisional license debut? And a pretty lovely girl from Essol Academy is my target?
Who would believe that’s a coincidence?
“You can handle it, right?”
“What do you mean handle? Am I going to go and hit her?”
“It doesn’t matter if you kill her if she resists.”
I flinched at the student council president’s high-level remarks.
……No. She doesn’t seem like such a heinous criminal.
“It’s a good opportunity to build 実績 (shitsuseki) [achievements].”
“I feel sorry for her. I heard she was bullied…….”
“Get rid of those half-assed thoughts.”
Ugh!!
Isabella pulled on my school uniform tie and shined her eyes in lecture mode.
“Villains are the evil of society that must be uprooted.”
Something about the atmosphere is strange.
The fact that the villain assigned to me is a serial exhibitionist, and that too…….
Isabella’s firm attitude.
‘This, could it be…….’
[Hero Quest – Collect Your First Villain Onahole!]
[Let’s Make I-Cup Virgin Pussy Kushina into an Onahole★]
OnaAka was a 야겜 (yageem) [NSFW game] that exceeded my imagination.
There’s no way I’ll get hit by a grenade launcher.
Unless I get the chance to hit a pretty girl with Personality Excretion!
The wickedness of assigning a big-breasted female student from our academy to my debut match!
Why did I think the hero route would be normal?
A route to legally turn 「female villains」 into onaholes!
That was the perverted hero route of OnaAka.
‘Ugh. I realized it too late!’
I should have pulled out when I got caught in the student of interest project!
Student council president legally pushing to turn female villains into onaholes……?
Moreover, I possess 「Personality Excretion」, which the original protagonist (former) Sanghyuk did not have.
I am the protagonist with a powerful ability that should not exist in this scenario.
And I’m going to use that on a pretty villain?
I get dizzy when I imagine the terrible things that will happen after that.
In my heart, I thought that a student council president full of justice would never allow such a development.
I thought the hero route was better than a villain route with a 찝찝 (jjipjjip) [unpleasant/icky] and vulgar aftertaste,
because I believed in Isabella’s character. But…….
“President. Are you serious about having me use Personality Excretion on a female villain?”
“Excrete.”
I had overlooked it.
How cruel people can become under the guise of 「justice」.
