I Became a Framed Villain

Episode 14 – The Chosen Protagonist and the Abandoned Protagonist

A terrifying roar echoed through the streets.

The shock wave created by Ariel’s strike completely destroyed a barrier that had never been penetrated before, smashing the surrounding area.

“Cool, cool…”

It was truly a perfect match. For a moment, I thought that Justia had returned.

“Hey, this is enough… I can endure it…”

After the attack, Ariel knelt down in front of me and murmured.

“…But why is it worth it?”

Yes, it is an ability that is not normally controlled at all, so it is just that.

Originally, she should have had a terrible recoil in her body by now.

But to prevent that, I used the skill after.

[Skill: I used Physical Link (LV MAX).]

[The price for forced use of the skill has been paid.]

As a result of my research over the past week, there were a total of 13 skills in the abilities that Justia passed on to me.

However, there are only two skills that can be used without restrictions, my original skills, ‘Spotting’ and ‘Defense’.

For the remaining 11 skills, there were only abilities that cost a lot of money when used because Justia had reached the maximum level.

[Reward: The ability of the skill itself]

However, the ‘Physical Link’ I just activated was a little different.

It is the only non-combat type skill among the 11 out-of-class skills, but a very unusual guy whose cost is the skill itself.

The essence of that ability was to share and receive the damage of the target.

In other words, now I can share pain wherever Ariel is. Of course, being able to recognize her danger at any time was a bonus.

‘By the way, Justia was very sincere.’

Justia once said that.

He said he was secretly paying for the recoil that occurs whenever his younger brother uses his ability.

Because of that incident, I was depressed for a long time because my younger brother had to give up his dream of becoming a great hero who surpasses himself.

It seemed that now I could know the details of the story.

Just as my earnest desire to discover Lumia’s identity created the ‘Detection’ skill, I wonder if Justia’s desire to alleviate her sister’s pain created this skill.

‘…But, even though I earnestly prayed for it, the skill I wanted didn’t appear.’

Thinking about that, I fell into doubt for a moment, but then I shook my head.

No matter what, this skill was used for Ariel.

So I will also use this skill for her.

‘Anyway, I wonder if this can happen.’

By the way, I’m not in very good shape.

Just before being hit by Ariel’s blow, he summoned a small barrier in front of him and managed to avoid a direct hit, but the shock wave alone dealt considerable damage to his entire body.

In addition, Ariel’s burden was shared.

But for me, it was rather a good thing.

There was an invincible combination that I found while checking all the abilities I could use over the past week.

[Skill: Refining (LV MAX) has been activated!]

[Price: Maximize the pain you feel.]

When receiving damage from ‘Physical Link’, activates ‘Smelting’ skill, one of 11 off-topic skills, to strengthen the body.

Truly eternal power. If this was the case, I could rapidly train my body without spending time and effort.

Of course, there was a terrifying price to pay in maximizing the pain felt.

However, the concept that dwells in me is the ‘concept of hypnosis’, which is rated as the highest among mental abilities.

With one self-hypnosis of not feeling ‘pain’, I was able to avoid the penalty brilliantly.

However, if there is one small problem.

Since the body is strengthened and not restored, the damage is still piling up.

– Farr…

Still, perhaps it was because her body had gotten a little stronger, she still had the strength to get up from her seat while using a cane.

“Awkward…”

Fortunately, Ariel was just sitting there gnashing her teeth, as if she had used up all her strength from the blow she just had.

– Ugh…

But, someone sneaked up behind Ariel.

“Ugh?”

Ariel, who had been gnashing her teeth while glaring at me as if to kill me, was hit lightly on the back of the head and groaned.

“senior.”

When someone said it, it was Rumia who had been blocked by the barrier until now and couldn’t come.

“It’s not too late.”

She was approaching me, looking at me with eyes that seemed to have lost the whole world.

Judging by that, it seems that Rumia knew that I was Kang Ha-neul.

He’s amazing that he doesn’t tell anyone about such a subject.

“Lu, Lumia-san… no…”

Thinking like that, he was sarcastic to himself, but Ariel, who was unexpectedly beaten in the back of the head, did not faint, stretched out her hand and said so.

Apparently, she knows that Lumia is being manipulated by me.

“Senior, please choose me before it’s too late.”

But this made me sad. She was not subjected to any mental manipulation.

“It’s me who stole everything from your senior, right?”

Of course, his words and actions seemed like a person whose mind had been manipulated and lost his taste.

“Come on, attack me now. You must take revenge on the root of all evil.”

“……..”

“It doesn’t matter if you handle it harshly. Please trample it with a mess to death.”

Having said that, Lumia grabbed my hand and wrapped it around her neck.

“I’ll do my best to deal with it.”

Her eyes were trembling like crazy.

“Assault, threat, confinement, kidnapping. Anything is fine.”

As she said that, she bit her lip and began to give strength to her hands.

“Please leave me your mark.”

As I stare at her who is holding my hand and strangling herself, a smile comes to my lips for some reason.

“You want to be attacked that much?”

“Yes… yes! It’s like this!”

I don’t think you’re deceiving me.

There is no sign of lies at all.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Seeing him strangling his neck to the point where his legs trembled.

Yeah, if that’s really what she wants.

There is also one thing that must be done.

“no.”

“…Huh?”

Whispering like that, I gently pulled my hand out of her grip on her neck.

“My archenemy is Justia’s younger brother.”

Then I quietly rubbed my hand on the cloak.

“She is my only identity.”

He took off his mask, showing his closed left eye, and whispered in a low voice.

“trauma…”

Then, Ariel’s voice came from behind.

“Remember…”

“Hey, shut that mouth!!!”

As soon as she heard that line, Lumia started the game and shouted that.

“Even if you risk your life…”

Despite being pushed to the limit due to the accumulated damage, Ariel continued to speak while glaring at me with burning eyes.

“You… I…”

However, in the end, she was unable to finish all the words and lost consciousness.

[You have entered the Ariel route.]

But at that moment, a message appeared in front of my eyes.

“Ah ah ah ah ah…..”

At the same time, Lumia sat down on her seat with a sound as if a balloon was about to fall out, telling me what she was trying to say to me instead.

[End prologue…]

[Notification of current person relationship]

[Ariel Everray hates you]

[Lumia Obse is obsessed with you]

[Kang Maru hates you]

[Minamoto Himari is ignoring you]

[Lee Se-ah misses you slightly]

.

“Somebody’s messages are floating around so much.”

As I was looking down at Lumia, who was sitting on the floor, with an exhilarating heart, a number of messages suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

At the end, there was the name of a childhood friend I haven’t seen in a long time, Se-ah.

But now was not the time to worry about it.

“Why, why…?”

To Rumia, who was sitting on the floor.

“You didn’t choose me…?”

It was because I really wanted to say this.

“It’s simple.”

After hearing that, Lumia looked at me with a blank expression.

“Are you a man?”

And the stillness began to flow.

“This gay bastard.”

“Oh, that’s a misunderstanding.”

Lumia, who had a pale face, got up from her seat with an urgent expression on her face.

“It’s a misunderstanding, senpai! I, I…!”

Are you planning to come back and reveal that you are a woman?

If you’re going to act, you have to do it to the end.

He is truly a ruthless guy.

“…Well?”

With that thought in mind, I raise my middle finger to show Lumia, but suddenly I feel the heat from behind.

– Bubbly Bubbly!!!

Unsurprisingly, in less than a second, a splendid beam of light flew and hit me.

“…Ugh.”

I didn’t even have time to open the barrier, so I clenched my teeth and twisted my body to avoid the rays, and then I witnessed a surprising sight.

– Grip support…

It was because I could clearly see the light that had passed me and directed towards Lumia, twisting slightly and deflecting.

‘By the way, what are Lumia’s abilities…?’

“Sorry! I didn’t know you were there!”

After thinking about that for a while, I woke up, and a clear voice began to resonate everywhere.

– Shaa…

In the blink of an eye, a star-shaped beam of light flew from behind, falling between me and Rumia, and began to emit a large flash of light.

“But don’t worry too much! I’ll save you now!”

Eventually, as the flash came out and began to create a barrier of light separating her, the all-too-familiar lines came to my ears.

“With the power of stars and love. Miracle Magic!”

As soon as I heard that line, I could immediately recognize who the hero had arrived on the scene.

“With everyone’s wishes, change up!”

Rank 2 Hero. Holder of the highest number of monster kills.

Even at a young age, the few remaining hopes of the current era are showing potential that is comparable to that of other top-ranked heroes.

“Miracle Shine, you have arrived!”

Hero name Miracle Shine.

Also known as ‘Magical Girl’.

Caught in a dazzling flash, she had arrived at the scene.

“…Thank you.

I was grateful to have removed the annoying Rumia from my presence, but that didn’t make things any better.

It may look childish, but the 2nd place in the rankings wasn’t something that was done with form.

“Class A Villain Trauma.”

She was sweating slightly, raising her magic wand and proclaiming vigorously.

“Your evil has gone too far.”

It looks like they’ll start fighting with me right now.

“Many hostage killings. Academy student threats. And even the last terrorist incident.”

“there.”

“I can’t even imagine what will happen next.”

Unfortunately, I had no intention of doing that.

“So, here and now…”

“Wait a minute!”

Because of that, she shouted as much as she could and stretched out her hand in front of her, but she paused for a moment and then stopped talking.

“I have something to tell you, but would you like to listen?”

The perfect hero, Miracle Shine, that Justiceia evaluated as the best hero united with justice and good intentions.

It seemed that the evaluation was not wrong either.

“…what?”

As of a week ago, among the 12 top-ranking heroes, there were 3 people who were not monsters, including my sister.

Miracle Shine, who is now looking at me with a very wary look, was one of those three.

In this age of lies and deception, there were few heroes who were not stained by darkness before my eyes.

“I don’t know if I will believe it or not.”

There would be no benefit to fighting with such a guy.

In the first place, my ultimate carpenter is revenge.

There were monsters, but no heroes.

“These people over there.”

“yes.”

“It’s actually a monster.”

Then there is one thing I have to do.

“yes?”

“Those are monsters, not people.”

It was to tell the truth.

The reason I deceived Ariel was to make her grow, but there was no reason to deceive the heroes who had already grown up.

The more colleagues who knew the truth, the better.

“…are you kidding me?”

“No, because it’s real.”

Well then.

How do I convince you?

.

.

.

.

.

Miracle Shine. A hero who is fervently supported by women in their teens and men in their 20s, who are called magical girls in the world.

“Why would I lie in a situation like this?”

“Hey, to deceive and distract me…”

“The reason I came here in the first place was to broadcast the scene where the monsters change.”

When she heard the news that a ‘trauma’ she was particularly wary of had appeared, she asked for the understanding of other heroes and went to the scene alone.

“No, that’s fine. It’d be better to show it in person.”

He was quietly sweating in a cold sweat, facing the type of villain he had never experienced before.

“Wait a minute.”

The trauma that approached the cold hostage that was scattered around him.

– Quietly….

He was staring up at himself and breaking the hostage’s neck.

“Come on, look. Can’t you see this?”

With his tattered neck thanks to him, he pretended to grab something and then shook it wildly.

“But this is really creepy. It looks just like an octopus.”

“there.”

She stares blankly at the scene, and asks a question in a low voice to the trauma that was waving her hand.

“Are you crazy?”

“…can’t you see this?”

Then he looked at her and his own hands alternately, and then the trauma shriveled his face.

“This makes me look like a crazy person…”

No matter how much I looked at it, the words that it seemed like a crazy person were right came out of my throat, but Miracle Shine, who had endured it while shaking her head, began to raise her magic wand carefully.

“In that case, we have no choice but to try another way.”

“……!”

Then, after hearing the trauma of grabbing the neck of the citizen next to him, she stopped acting.

“Hey, blow your identity on that guy.”

“Groo…”

If there were still live hostages, they could not engage in a war hastily.

“Quickly. Otherwise…”

“Groo them!!”

Because of that, she wondered how to rescue the hostage by surprise.

– Bubbly!!

But, to their dismay, the hostage’s head exploded with a popping sound.

“Ha, I’ll go back. Really.”

The trauma that had been pounding in her chest as if frustrated by seeing that scene suddenly picked up a sharp piece of glass that had fallen around her.

“Well, if your life is in danger, it will transform itself.”

– Quajik, quajik, quajik…

Then, without saying a word, he started beating the dead hostage down.

“Hey, it hasn’t changed since then.”

“…….”

“To prioritize being undetected over the desire for survival. I think you can understand why I’ve been hiding without being discovered.”

That madman-like appearance clearly showed the reason for the trauma that he had done.

‘…Is it because I’m not feeling well?’

There is only one thing I don’t understand.

‘Why is the ability reacting?’

It was that the ability to detect people in need of their help was responding to such trauma.

“Stop. Raise your hands and surrender.”

Of course, she had no intention of helping with the madness of digging up and exploding corpses, so she slowly began to walk towards the trauma.

“If we move, we will immediately engage in combat. Please be aware of that…”

right at that moment.

– Degur…

“……?”

Something rolling in front of her.

“Gosh.”

When Miracle Shine, who was tilting her head, picked it up, she heard the voice of Trauma in front of her.

“That’s mine. Thanks for picking it up.”

Then, the trauma of giving orders by turning the cane.

“Then now, disarm all and come here.”

“……..”

“Let’s go somewhere gloomy and talk for a while.”

But for some reason, Miracle Shine, who was standing still without moving, looked at the trauma and made a passionate expression.

“…is this an attack on the spirit world?”

Eventually, Miracle Shine started talking with her arms crossed.

“You must have thought that a head-to-head match was unreasonable.”

Then, she throws her smartphone at the trauma again and declares.

“But, I’m sorry.”

“………”

“As a magical girl, my psychic abilities don’t work.”

For strong evil, with justice stronger than that.

With a stronger force than that, with an overwhelming force.

That’s her fighting style.

It is her own winning routine, where she pretends to be hit by the opponent’s ability in part, and then overwhelms the opponent by showing that it didn’t work at all.

“Well, I can’t.”

The trauma started to retreat with a bewildered expression on whether it had worked or not.

‘I was injured. After all, he’s in a state where he can’t compete head-to-head.’

After seeing his limp like that, she finished grasping the situation, quietly raised the wand and tried to end it.

‘So, on this occasion…’

“Hey, is this not edible?”

Hearing a voice that seemed quite pitiful for some reason from the sudden trauma, he hesitated once more and lowered his hand.

“That, it can’t be. My hypnosis is invincible.”

“……..”

“Now, look here. Look at this.”

The trauma that staggered in front of him was desperately holding the hypnosis app in her face.

‘It was the ability to brainwash others with a smartphone.’

Seeing that figure, she opened her eyes wide for a moment, then quickly began to roll her head.

‘Anyway, his ability doesn’t work. But, if I pretend to be hypnotized here…’

“Damn, damn…”

‘His purpose, his base, which was wrapped in a veil… Maybe we can find out the whereabouts of his colleagues.’

Like that, she once again finished her judgment in an instant.

“Oh, um…?”

While staring at the traumatic smartphone with eyes wide open, she begins to stagger with a dizzy expression.

“Why, why are you so sleepy…”

Then, after muttering that, she lowered her head.

“Oh, did it happen?”

“……..”

“Has it been successful?”

In her ears, the excited voice of trauma is heard.

“Raise your right hand.”

“yes.”

“This time, raise your left hand.”

“All right.”

Afterwards, after giving her orders several times, the trauma clenched his fists and muttered.

“…this is not enough to eat cold porridge.”

“Suck.”

Miracle Shine, who almost burst out laughing at the trivial appearance, forcibly blocks the laughter, recalling the seriousness of the situation.

“Okay then…”

After maintaining an immobile posture for a while, the trauma tapped on Miracle Shine’s shoulder and whispered.

“Let’s move places slowly.”

After saying those words, she turned back, glanced at him, and smiled a quietly converted smile.

‘You were completely fooled by my acting.’

.

.

.

.

.

As I walked forward with my back turned to Miracle Shine, I thought to myself with a smile on my lips.

‘As expected, this is a special drug for mental resistance.’

What I just used is hypnosis, which makes you pretend to be hypnotized.

It’s one of my special moves that works especially well against guys with strong mental resistance.

‘Shouldn’t it be okay to kidnap first and then punch the truth into my head?’

That’s how the magical girl abduction case that will cause a stir in the world began.
