There Is No Salvation for Extras

71 – Same goal, different purpose (6)

When was it- When did I first see you?

Oh, that’s right. It was then. The day I first entered the academy and held the entrance ceremony.

Filled with excitement, she passed the school gate with her friend Hyuna, the huge auditorium where they gathered, the meeting with people she met for the first time – and the first battle with the villain.

Lots of gunshots and screams, people dying at the same time, but despite this, they fought together and eventually captured and defeated the villains.

Did you sit down on the floor and stare blankly, then get up again to deal with the villains when you saw us? I think so, or did you wake up again after seeing your childhood friend Jihyun?

Well, what does it matter anyway? It’s important that we worked together to take down the villains, and isn’t it true that we were truly sad to see the people who were sacrificed in that incident?

“Mr. Hangyeol!”

Yes, it was like that back then. Let’s endure the evil intentions of villains together and try to prevent something like this from happening again – or, more accurately, to become heroes who can protect people even if it does happen.

Didn’t you make that promise and run by studying and training harder than anyone else?

“Mr. Hangyeol…! Are you okay?!”

We catch the bastards dispatched from the evil brigade, we catch the evil brigade combatant who charged in saying he is a man who will become the branch manager of some place I can’t even remember, and then the teachers and everyone work together to catch the deputy branch manager. .

At that time, I remember hugging Jihyeon with tears in her eyes, and we were both happy that we had won. The next day, both of our faces were red and awkward, so I remember making fun of them.

“Up until then, it seemed like it would take forever.”

A boy who dreams of becoming an ordinary hero. My best friend. Hyunwoo worked together with everyone to catch villains, and at times lived a peaceful life at the academy, leaving behind memories.

Hyuna is fighting with So-ah and fussing, In-jun and Yena are laughing at her, and Ji-hyun, who doesn’t know what to do, tries to stop them, but you laugh and tell her to leave it alone, saying it’s an ordinary love fight. My classmates looked at it again and laughed-

Since when? The day when everything fell apart.

“Mr. Hangyeol…?”

“It’s okay.”

Han Seong-ah, whom I thought was a classmate – no. When the villain Serpent attacked us? So when the teacher died?

That is correct. That was the first time you lost your arm, and from then on, your expression gradually began to darken.

A boy who kept trying, but didn’t get any results.

A boy who wanted to be recognized by everyone, but was despised by everyone.

The facial expression continues to darken and some strange behavior occurs. The dark circles that are increasing, the face that is becoming gaunt, and the ability that was awakened at the wrong time.

At that time, he tried to cut off the armor he was wearing along with his weapon, but he cut off his body and injured the villain and the student.

And that was the time when I first realized the identity of the villain that no one knew about and killed him.

“…Really, it’s okay.”

…No, that might not be the reason. We – don’t I know? Why did that guy become like that?

“Maybe.”

“What do you mean?!”

“So- I can fight more.”

Wow, Lee Hyeon-woo. Because I always think? What kind of life would you have lived if you didn’t have superpowers?

Maybe he just smiled normally and became a pillar of honor? Because I knew that Jihyun was quite obsessed with you, and that you liked each other.

You said your dream was to lounge around, eat, and have fun, so maybe that was it.

“It’s such a f*cking world.”

Those with superpowers either report them to the government and become heroes, hide their abilities and live normally, or become villains. However, the second option is bound to be discovered someday, so it will be the only two options.

The ability to cut someone down, the ability to easily kill someone – no matter who sees it, you are closer to a villain, and since you actually hurt someone, you have even more qualms, and that’s why you were looked down on.

Of course, you realized late that the bastard who was the principal had used his ability to swim, but it was too late because you couldn’t stand it and ended up killing people and running away to become a villain.

But in the end, wasn’t the reason you became a villain because others saw your abilities and shunned and despised you? Because I thought it was an ability that could cause direct harm.

And above all – because their performance was lower than ours and their abilities were weaker, they did not excel.

“Right?”

Well, I guess it’s a good story.

Anyway, you ran away and disappeared, and after that, we were still moving to become heroes.

However, I do regret it.

If we had put a straight face on you even when you said it was okay and interfered by saying it wasn’t okay, if we had thrown everything at the other students, including heroes, and fought with them, telling them not to curse at their friends – no, we had discovered the identity of the principal in the first place and taken the first step. If there was a fight.

No, no. There were more opportunities. When I saw you reappear at the Academy, and with your very familiar abilities – when I saw you acting to protect us, knowingly or unknowingly, when I instinctively knew that it was you in your actions and familiar habits, then If I had called his name and stopped – wouldn’t something have changed at all?

I know. It’s already too late.

Nothing will change. Anyway, you are now a ‘real’ villain, and I have now become a hero.

However, if I still want to ask you something – I would like to ask why you are trying to protect us despite becoming a villain. Should I ask Jihyun why she is doing this? Now that I think about it, there are a lot of things I want to ask.

Well, let’s ask about that when we meet again someday. Yes, in the end, the hero has to catch the villain.

I am a hero, and before I am a hero, I am a friend. You need to correct what you’re doing wrong. Next time I see you, I’ll have to beat you up and bring you home.

…In order to do that, we have to get out of this crisis first.

“A villain like you can be so active.”

Collapsed buildings and screaming citizens. Among them, there is a villain wearing a mask swinging a sword at me, and a villain looking at me next to me with flames fluttering in his hands.

First of all, one thing is certain –

“Even while impersonating someone else.”

That guy is not Hyunwoo. And the villain that appears to be a woman is not Ash from Repentance.

“What does that mean-“

“You know that? When the villain Guardian swings his sword, his thumb sticks out. He got injured while training and can’t bend his thumb. Thanks to that, every time he raised his fist, I made fun of him and called him a scoundrel.”

As the masked villain closed his mouth, he immediately looked to his side and glared.

“And the villain Ash has so much fire power that even he himself is affected. Are you wearing any kind of cloak or mask? Furthermore-“

Growing.

“If you want to call yourself a dangerous S-class villain with this kind of firepower, shouldn’t you at least put in some effort?”

A flame suspended in the air. The wave of flames that were clearly burning everything had stopped, as if in a photograph.

Is that all? The villain who is currently extending his sword forward, and the guy who was trying to approach this way – even the one who is not moving, as if someone had tied him up.

“Invisible Prison-”

As the level of ability increases, the body is strengthened and at the same time, a certain degree of resistance is created to the opponent’s ability. I already know that. That’s why, unlike other villains, they weren’t thrown out.

“Black hole.”

However, I have already experienced it once. It’s only been a long time since I felt helpless and found a way to deal with that monster that attacked the academy.

Cracking-

I continued to improve my skills and create new abilities. A prison that just created it over and over again. A technique created to capture Hyunwoo when he meets him again.

Created as a medium by the lump of concrete rising from their chests – a prison that, once caught, can never be escaped, continuously pulling in the surroundings as if sucking them in, and pushing the enemy from the outside to the inside, making it impossible for them to move.

“What’s wrong? “It’s reaching you now, right?”

While the villains are unable to do this or that, he gathers telekinesis above their heads and laughs at him.

The medium used was a simple stone. It must be touching the chest of the villain holding the sword. If it were Hyunwoo, he would have cut the stone right away.

“Cut them down and then attack again? “Why don’t you use your abilities?”

But the guy just tried to move the sword somehow and didn’t show any signs of doing so – which would prove that he wasn’t Hyunwoo.

“This bastard-“

“It’s a shame.”

Let’s taunt him by swinging both raised hands downward and then use the ability-

Whoops!

“Keuheuk-“

“Ugh!”

At the same time, the two villains’ heads are bent downward and a dull sound is heard, and at the same time, they collapse.

“…Next time, do more research and impersonate someone. Or maybe you should improve your skills.”

Han-gyeol finally fell to the floor, glaring at their unconscious form, muttering that and letting out a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Hangyeol!”

“Yumi, are you okay?”

“Of course. Rather, this is-“

“Well, I guess I was just doing my job as a hero. Rather – is everyone safe?”

Why did I breathe a sigh of relief? Those guys are worthless guys? Because no one got caught up and got hurt?

“Yes! “We are all safe!”

“Hero Shield! I didn’t know this when I only heard rumors – it’s really amazing! Kill the villain in an instant!”

“hahahahaha…”

You probably already know the answer.

Their masks were torn off due to the shock of falling to the floor, and their faces were revealed at the same time. For some reason, his mouth was sewn with thread, but it wasn’t Hyunwoo.

After confirming that fact, Hangyeol smiled bitterly and turned his back, soon reaching out to Yumi and putting a smile on her face.

“Mr. Yumi. Song. “I have to get out now.”

“…Yes.”

Half relief, half discomfort. Han-gyeol reaches out to Yu-mi without any effort. But that’s why he didn’t know.

“I have to go.”

When Yumi saw the faces of those who had fallen, for some reason she was chewing her lip and her body was shaking.
