I Became a Framed Villain

Episode 8 – Choice

– Quguaguagua!!!

“Ugh.”

The monster’s sharp tentacles and heavy fists pierce the defense I summoned in succession.

“Grrr…”

“I lost my temper.”

It’s normal to recognize that the attack doesn’t work and back away from the beginning. However, the unstoppable attacks continued uninterrupted.

Judging from that, it seems that he lost his reason when he became that way.

“Bar, are you a defense-type person!”

“Well, we will help.”

As I was breaking out in a cold sweat and blocking his attack, I heard the voices of the student executives from behind.

From the hands they raised, sparks and vibrations began to rise.

“No, back off.”

“yes?”

The spirit was good, but he didn’t need clumsy help.

“You guys are no help now.”

The danger level of the guy in front of me right now is roughly level 3.

Two students with no practical experience are not opponents who can strike effectively.

“Yeah, but…!”

“Looks like they’re both release abilities, but if I try to attack them, they’ll be blocked by the shield I’ve deployed.”

“ah…”

“But just because I remove the shield, can you guys deal an effective hit to that monster?”

And, the ability and compatibility I’m using right now don’t match well.

“Ha, but… if we go on like this, it will only make things worse.”

“Oh, that’s right. You look tough…”

Of course, what the guys say is right.

‘Defense’, a skill I accidentally activated, is an ability that, as the name suggests, focuses only on defense.

If so, all you have to do is attack.

The first time I awakened the ‘detection’ skill was when I frantically wanted to find out Rumia’s true identity.

The first time I awakened my ‘defense’ skill was when I thought I had to protect myself from an imminent threat.

Then, it might be easier than you think to awaken skills related to ‘attack’.

‘I’ll just have to focus on the idea of attacking.’

After making that judgment, I clenched my fists and glared at him, and a system window popped up in front of my eyes.

[The user’s ability is low and cannot be used!]

However, the content was quite disappointing.

[Skill: Strike (LV MAX) cannot be used as a current stat!]

[Skill: Kick (LV MAX) cannot be used as a current stat!]

[Skill: Valkyrie (LV MAX) cannot be used as a current stat!]

[Skill: Counterattack (LV MAX) cannot be used as a current stat.]

All of the ‘attack’ related skills, for some reason, were raised to the maximum level.

‘Can’t I force it?’

[If used forcibly, a huge price including bodily loss will be paid.]

[Do you want to use it?]

‘…shit.’

There is only one possible cause for this phenomenon.

As the title ‘strongest’, he used to destroy any evil with overwhelming force.

The origin of this ability is ‘Justia’.

It was that her ability and mine were so different.

‘Did you only shoot attack skills with that fiery personality?’

– Kwajik…!

“…Ugh!”

She is smiling bitterly at her actions like Justice, and the shock is transmitted through her body.

Probably because of the ‘defense’ penalty, the body’s durability went down as it went down.

“Kreuk… Kreuk…”

Frowning his brow and staring at the monster who had become a monster, he made a bizarre cry as if bursting into laughter.

Judging by the confident expression on his face, he must have been sure of his victory.

I think you underestimated me too much.

“Hey, you.”

“Yes, Neet?”

“I was trying to shoot something like vibration earlier, but what’s the exact ability?”

I stared at him quietly, and spoke in a low voice to the girl who was shaking behind me.

“Cow, you can vibrate anything you touch… you can vibrate the air and create shock waves.”

“Is it the concept of vibration? The power?”

“Hey, it can blow people close to it…”

As I listened to the explanation, the operation was pictured in my mind.

Although the risk is high, this method is probably the most effective for now.

“Listen to me from now on.”

“yes.”

“Shoot me a vibration and blow it at him.”

“yes?”

“Then the…”

When I started explaining like that, the girl looked at me with a blank expression on her face.

“You are so reckless…”

“I don’t have time. Come on!”

“I, I don’t know.”

Slowly, it was the limit of her patience, so she screamed and released the shield, and then she closed her eyes tightly and released the vibration.

“……Ugh.”

In an instant, the feeling of being crushed ran through my whole body.

It looks like it’s missing a few ribs.

It seems that the durability has been lowered.

“bowl?”

On the other hand, when I, who had been only defending myself, suddenly jumped forward at a high speed, the guy with a puzzled expression reaped the tentacles that had stretched out in all directions.

yeah i knew it

When a demon is in danger, it tends to focus on defense rather than attack.

The four guys, who are no different from witches, must be the same.

[Skill: Defense (LV1) has been used.]

It made me feel more comfortable thanks to you.

“Greuk!?”

Putting you inside the barrier.

“Now.”

When I flew to the front of the guy’s nose, I made a round barrier and wrapped it around him, sending a signal to the guys behind him.

“Yes, yes!”

“Ugh, ooh!”

Then, they closed their eyes tightly and started emitting sparks and vibrations.

“Goo!!!”

The two attacks, which entered the small gap the size of my hand, started to mix with the one trapped inside the barrier.

“Success.”

That’s how he started to struggle without even being able to counterattack.

“Well… how long do we have to be like this…”

“I keep doing it until the heroes come.”

“…yes!?”

Judging that the situation was roughly resolved, I started to head downstairs at a brisk pace so as not to waste any more time.

“…uh?”

I inadvertently looked at the scenery outside the window in the hallway, then stopped walking.

“What is that?”

In the playground far away, the members of the Dominating Hands were engaged in a carnage.

‘Isn’t the start of the operation now? No, more…’

Aside from the fact that the operation started much earlier than the originally planned intrusion, there was one strange thing.

‘…Isn’t it killing anyone?’

At first glance, it was the scene of a bloody festival, but to me now, it looked quite different.

A heart wielding a scythe with a cold smile on its face, vanishing from nowhere.

An old lady who is laughing out loud and catching people and turning them into blood cakes.

Pandora, with her usual sleepy eyes, moving the joystick around, and carrying out a massacre with a drone.

And even the spades that have already killed three faculty and staff as their nickname ‘killing machine’.

All of them were attacking only students and staff with tentacles wriggling inside.

‘What happened?’

At that time, he had a puzzled expression on his face that he could not understand at all.

“This is troublesome.”

“…!?”

A low-pitched voice came from behind.

“Can you see us too?”

Looking back, I froze for a moment.

“Mr. Ji-seok.”

Hero Resurrection, who appears behind me and smiles at me.

“…This is not a bathroom, Mr. Resurrection.”

Behind him, you can see the female students, who had been diligently launching attacks into the shield just a moment ago, lying limp.

“Are you a villain too?”

Resurrection asks such questions while tilting her head as she is sweating in a cold sweat and taking a vigilant posture because she didn’t even feel the signs they were being subjected to.

“How long are you planning to disturb us?”

The movement of the tentacles wriggling inside him was getting stronger.

“…Are you Lumia’s subordinate?”

“A child of prophecy?”

Let’s ask a question, wondering if it’s Lumia’s work, Resurrection that raises eyebrows.

“Why is that child coming out now?”

There was no sign of lies.

It seems like he has nothing to do with Lumia.

Then what the hell is all this?

“Since when have you been mixed with people?”

The moment I thought I needed to get a little more information, I looked at him and asked a question like that.

– Kugwagwagwagwagwang!!!

“Big black.”

A terrifying vibration echoed throughout the hallway.

“You’re asking a meaningless question.”

Resurrection whispered with a relaxed smile even though the attack was blocked by my shield.

“The one who will disappear soon.”

“Wait, wait a minute.”

Apparently, he is full of thoughts about fighting me.

From what I can see, the risk level seems to be between level 2 and level 1. In addition, that guy has this ability.

Seeing as I am wary of my every move, taking a smartphone out of my pocket and hypnotizing me is unreasonable, and it is of course impossible to deal with defense alone.

If so, I guess I’ll just have to do what I can.

“Should we fight?”

“What are you talking about?”

“You know I’m a villain. I have a purpose. I don’t even want to fight you.”

As I desperately started persuading, the Resurrection, who had been listening to me quietly, fell into deep thought.

“Honestly, I don’t know what you guys are doing… You tell me to do what you do. I won’t interfere.”

“Well.”

“Instead, you don’t disturb me either. Okay?”

As soon as he stopped talking, a long silence began.

“You don’t care about the kids behind you?”

“…why does a villain care about that?”

“Ugh.”

Resurrection, who looked at me with questionable eyes for a moment, then smiled and lifted his fist.

“There are villains who can talk these days.”

“Well, it seems.”

I never imagined that the persuasion would really succeed, but it worked.

What I need to focus on right now is Rumia. It is not an unidentified existence that covers the hero shell in front of you.

“Then I’m good enough…”

Like that, I tried to remove my defenses while singing joy in my heart.

“However!”

– Quguaguagua!!!

“Ugh!!”

Once again, I had no choice but to bow my head, coughing up blood at the acrid vibration that filled the hallway.

“Because you look weak.”

“……..”

“I think it’s better to just kill it here.”

Resurrection, like the student earlier, had become a grotesquely distorted monster.

a wicked fellow Pretending to be persuaded and then launching a surprise attack?

That’s the property of the villain.

“Here, there you are.”

I quietly gnashed my teeth, then smiled and pointed behind him.

“Are you going to keep focusing on me?”

“If you thought you would be fooled by such tricks…”

However, without changing his expression, he raises his fist and prepares for the follow-up.

“I’m sorry.”

Looking at him like that, I said with full of complex emotions.

“I’m the kind of person who doesn’t lie very well.”

“Stop right where you are.”

At the same time, a cold voice echoed in the hallway.

“…Ugh.”

“A beast that can communicate. It’s rare.”

My older sister, the Great Order, was muttering so in the middle of the hallway.

‘The timing is amazing.’

I didn’t know I would be so happy to meet my sister.

“Heroes are coming. Many have already arrived at the academy.”

The older sister, standing in the hallway, starts talking in a cold voice.

“Are you a beast tamed by a villain? If you can understand what I’m saying, surrender. This is an order…”

Then, she pauses for a moment and then bites her lips.

The side effects seemed to be working well.

‘I’d rather wear a mask here.’

Anyway, the opportunity is now.

While my sister was dealing with this guy, I had to go downstairs and cooperate with the executives.

As far as securing ‘Lumia’ was the present purpose, that was the best.

– Sugh…

After making that decision, I took the opportunity to take advantage of the Resurrection covering me and pulled out the mask that Pandora and Ira had made from my arms.

Roughly speaking, there are various options such as cognitive dissonance function, voice modulation function, and vision aid function.

I don’t know when the transformation will be released, and above all, there was a possibility that my sister would find out with this face, so I think it would be better to wear it from now on.

“Then, I’m fine.”

“…tt.”

Wearing a mask like that, I quickly run down the hallway, a recreation that quietly kicks my tongue and just stares at me quietly.

“Come on, hold on a second!”

As I was about to go downstairs thinking that my sister’s ability was great, I stopped walking as I was at the urgent cry of my sister from afar.

“Tongue, tongue…”

Then, after hesitating, she closed her eyes tightly and spoke.

“I ask for your cooperation.”

“………..”

“Aren’t you a teacher or a staff member?”

As I stare at her without saying anything, she points to the professor’s certificate protruding from my pocket and asks.

“Gee, right now, for some reason… I can’t fully utilize my abilities.”

“So?”

Then, an emotionless mechanical sound came out of my mask.

“Students are in danger. I, please, I will bind you…”

“Grrr…”

“……..!”

At that moment, the howling of a beast began to be heard from behind her.

“Oh oh oh oh oh!”

The first monster I had imprisoned had regained consciousness and stood up, breathing heavily.

“Well, let’s figure it out.”

“Come on, wait!”

Of course, it wasn’t my part.

Aren’t you our handsome top-ranking hero?

you’ll take care of it

Even if he couldn’t handle it, it was his own profit.

“Wait!!”

“Where is Lumia now…”

Ignoring the pathetic voice coming from behind like that, I looked out the window to figure out Lumia’s location.

“………..”

As soon as I saw the situation outside for the first time, I fell into silence again.

“what.”

As my sister said, the top heroes arrived with numerous heroes.

“What?”

But what surprised me was.

“What the hell is this world?”

Among those top heroes, there were only two people who did not have tentacles in their bodies.

“Heroes are here!!”

“Everyone, please follow the command and evacuate safely…”

It wasn’t just the top-ranking heroes.

Among the numerous heroes who are still arriving at the scene in real time, there were more heroes with tentacles than those without.

“Nonsense…..”

Seeing the tentacles wriggling inside their bodies, when I couldn’t even do this or that.

“You, you guys…!”

My sister’s alarming voice came from afar.

“Why did you come here?!”

“Uh, that’s…”

1st graders, including Justia’s younger sister, came up to the floor we were on through the emergency stairs.

“The assistant principal told me to evacuate to the roof, oh, so I went up to the floor with the stairs leading to the roof…”

“What kind of bullshit is that! Come on down… Big heuk!!”

After hearing those words, she screams and flies off the wall after being hit by the tentacle of the first monster.

“The prey come to me please.”

“Groo…”

Resurrection and the guy, who had turned into a monster, began to look at the children with his mouth open.

“………..”

It was also not my part.

Either my sister or my students die or die.

I didn’t have to care.

If we had to use mercy, we would only need to protect Justia’s younger brother.

“Now… go down… this is an order…”

“Wow, that’s a big deal! Downstairs collapsed!”

“Ugh.”

Let’s think soberly.

Now my target is Lumia.

“…Come behind me.”

In such a situation, it would have been more beneficial to leave it alone.

“………..”

Obviously that’s right.

[If used forcibly, a huge price including bodily loss will be paid.]

“Twitch.”

why are you feeling so bad

[Do you want to use it?]

.

.

.

a few minutes after that.

“eww…..”

“You’re weak, great.”

The bloody Great was lifted up by Resurrection grabbing his head.

“This… put…”

– Wow!

“…Ugh.”

While trying to give an order in that state, she was hit in the jaw and trembled.

“I’ve always wanted to eat you.”

“who are you…..”

“It always feels good to see an arrogant person like you die of fear.”

Resurrection, who licked his lips while watching such a great, whispered in a low voice.

“Then, I’ll eat well…”

“no…..”

Then, Great began to struggle with all his might.

“Don’t… Don’t…!”

However, it was not enough to shake off the monster’s power.

“No, no, no!”

That’s when I wondered if the 11th place in the hero ranking would become vacant.

“……?”

“Let go, let go!!”

There was someone who managed to step forward even though he was terrified and trembling.

“Let go!!!”

Read at readwn.com

Justia’s younger sister.

She was pulling as hard as she could to grab Great’s leg.

‘What… is this?’

At that moment, Great could clearly feel it.

The feeling of helplessness in the worst case scenario.

The shame of being helped by a child younger than himself.

A sense of helplessness that his weakness would make even the child die.

‘scared.’

It was the first feeling I had ever felt.

‘Nu, someone help.’

Absolutely weak, oppressed by overwhelming power.

‘please…’

The first thing she thought of was, of course, Lumia.

The strongest person who didn’t even get hurt even in the karma escape case, in which all the people involved were seriously injured.

The innocent face that warmly held his hand and promised to protect him no matter what danger came.

‘ah…’

But at that moment, that naive face suddenly turned into that of Rumia that day, who looked at her with disgust and removed her hand.

– Sugh…

The monster’s tentacles soared high into the sky.

“…!”

Ironically, what she recalled at the last moment, feeling that the end was near, tightly closed her eyes.

“Sister! Where are you going in such a hurry!!”

On the day she left the house, it was Kang Ha-neul who ran out of the house and shook her lunch box.

“You left your lunch box, you idiot!!”

.

.

.

.

.

It was at that point that the incident happened.

– Kugwagwagwagwang!!!!!

A shock wave that was incomparable to the vibrations caused by the previous Regeneration suddenly shook the entire academy building.

“Cough, Cough…”

“What, what!?”

The students struggle with the huge dust clouds and wind pressure caused by that, unable to even open their eyes properly.

“Just what? That power…?”

“Well, more than that… it was a very dangerous situation…”

After a while, when the clouds lifted, the students walked to the source of power to figure out what had happened.

I witnessed the scene unfolding before my eyes, and I couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Cool…”

Someone in a black mask with cracks around his eyes was standing with the Great in his arms and his fists outstretched.

“Hey, look at that…”

“crazy…”

“Does that make sense?”

After that, the academy was completely destroyed from the first floor to the roof and collapsed.

“That’s something Justiana could have done…”

The moment when the lost power of Justia was briefly revived.

– Jiying…

The AI drone that Pandora had sent was relaying somewhere in real time.

.

.

.

.

.

Hamata, I almost forgot the most important thing.

[Skill: Strike (LV MAX) was used.]

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

Of course, revenge must be done thoroughly.

That Rumia shouldn’t be the person she wanted so much.

[Cost: Permanent Blindness in Left Eye]

Anyway, it was really cheap for 13 lives.

‘Justia used to use it that much.’

“Go, thanks.”

While I was quietly caressing my forever closed left eye, I heard a trembling voice from my arms.

“thank you.”

Gtate Oda, who buried his head in my chest, said that while shaking his body.

“You are my lifesaver.”

In an instant, laughter erupted.

A word to my sister,

I wanted to hear a word of praise, so what kind of life have I been living?

Only after this happens

Are you going to tell me when you’re like this?

“If you tell me your affiliation, you must…”

“Villain.”

it was a beat

“He’s a bad villain.”

I resisted my sister who was holding my hand and thanking me, and answered that in a cold voice.

– Jiying…
