I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain - Chapter 255: Manufactured Heroes (7)

Looking at this world so far, the world after the Great Cataclysm, there was a thought.

Could the existing firearms suppress the ability users?

They knew it was difficult, but wouldn’t it be possible if they did it well?

Although General Jeokrang had starkly shown how the military had already been ruined by ability users, humans couldn’t truly understand unless they experienced it themselves.

There were no official records.

There’s no record that said, “We shot a missile at an ability user and killed them,” at least none that were known.

If there were even one such case, everyone would have stuck missiles into the bellies of ability users, but regrettably, even if it happened, there wasn’t a single case where an ability user was killed.

It’s the same now.

I brought my arms together.

I gathered magic power in front of the Dragon Killer, like a cavalry spear.

At the same time, I emitted magic power from my back, spinning my body.

[Blaze Tornado.]

I accurately thrusted the Dragon Killer into the missile’s nose.

The magic blade instantly sliced through the steel-clad warhead, and swirling flames burrowed into the missile.

No matter how long the missile was, if you accurately intercepted and destroyed its tip…

Even if the detonator exploded and the gunpowder ignited, if you intercepted and tore it apart in the air…

And if I penetrated through the missile before the explosion reached me.

BOOOOOOM!!

It’s very easy to make a missile explode in the air.

[Weak.]

Even if the explosion resulted in missile debris scattering in all directions, it would simply melt down from the heat and scatter as ash.

No harm to civilians.

Only small sparks drifted down, like fireworks embers falling to the ground.

[Did you really think you could take me down with just a missile?]

I turned my head in the direction I had just flown from.

I remain suspended in the air, dispersing the swirling flames around my body to gather magic power.

‘The situation is almost over.’

Two heroes were running from far away.

Nguyen and Red Brassard, the heroes who went to Coral Island, were rushing to guard the front of the Hero Association.

And behind the Association.

There were also children who, although armed, aimed their guns not at civilians but at the villains and prisoners causing the commotion.

‘How much training did those kids receive at the Marine Academy to already step forward like that?’

Those kids were probably the ones truly searching for their true selves.

Not slaves of Laplace, but those seeking to become new beings in this world; those kids were the ones.

Although I couldn’t directly say anything to those kids right now, I had done my part by saving them and providing an environment for them to live in this society.

If I were to do something more, it would be to show the path that ability users must take going forward.

‘They wouldn’t just fire one shot.’

The aggro was on me now.

If the rebel leader, Chaipai, wasn’t trying to blow up the entire Phuket street but was aiming to blow me up, or if they intended to blow up the entire city along with me.

If they intended to launch multiple missiles to destroy the entire city.

It would be the perfect situation to show the prestige of an ability user.

The best would be if they gave up without such an incident, but….

‘That’s unlikely.’

Villains were always like that, crossing the line whenever they were cornered.

Gugu.

Beyond the horizon, something shone in the sky.

That light was not just one or two, but multiple lights that flew towards me and the city, precisely tracing a parabola.

‘Maximum magic power.’

Ready to receive Doul’s help if necessary, I gathered all my magic power and Gunggi’s magic power.

Leaving just enough magic power to maintain transformation, I gathered all the remaining magic power into both hands to create a sphere.

The principle was a kind of artificial sun.

Within the magic sphere, the atoms of magic power continuously collided, compressed, and synthesized.

Even if I didn’t know much about this, Gunggi did.

Since I was now in union with Gunggi, actual magic synthesis and producing the desired firepower were handled by Gunggi.

All I thought about was what kind of firepower this small sphere could produce and how to throw it.

Flash.

Before I knew it, several missiles came into view.

They were clustered together as if they were haphazardly fired, aiming to destroy the Hero Association along with my trajectory.

It’s rather convenient.

No need to deal with each one individually, just sweep them all at once.

It’s time to clearly show the power of S+ rank.

It’s time to show that abilities didn’t just kill or oppress others with violence, but could also save an entire city.

Of course, it might also instill the perception that ‘ability users are dangerous.’

But if their existence was protecting them, humanity would trust the ability users.

Only one concern.

‘What should I do?’

Original or translation.

I pondered for a moment, but I raised the magic sphere synthesized by Gunggi high up.

There’s no time to hesitate.

Considering a skill name and missing the timing, letting the missile hit the city?

There couldn’t be anything more ridiculous than that.

-Follow your heart.

If the Chief was obsessed with the Sephiroth Knights, then I should use it according to the concept of Sephiroth.

[Hesed Force.]

There was only one thing to do.

This gigantic artificial sun that will swallow all the missiles.

Just throw it forward.

With Gunggi, who I was in union with, I threw the sphere.

The massive sphere, shimmering in a crimson light, flew towards the missiles, swallowing them all and causing an even bigger explosion.

BOOOOOOM!!!

Towards the sky where the missiles were coming from.

A huge pillar of flames spread out, as if a golden tree was rising.

Ah.

[Weak.]

I was satisfied.

“…Crazy.”

A curse came out naturally.

It was funny how a curse came out as an exclamation without realizing it, but how could such words not come out after seeing that scene?

Fwoosh.

Amidst the exploding flames decorating the air, the black dragonman was just standing there.

As if this was only natural, quietly and still floating in the sky.

At some point.

Red Brassard, Jeong Gong-in, heard such stories when he first joined the military.

That the modern military could no longer counter ability users.

For Jeong Gong-in, who had seen soldiers striving for national security under his father’s influence from a young age, it was something that made no sense.

No matter how strong an ability user was, could a single person defeat the military?

He seemed to see a partial answer to that question now.

How would you deal with that?

If that thing flew to the Korean Peninsula and struck Busan with that attack, would the city be safe?

Even if we showered it with missiles until it died, would it even die?

“…Ha, haha.”

The only fortunate thing was that this monster didn’t seem to intend to harm people for now.

That was a great relief.

“…Wow.”

Behind me, the children’s exclamations echoed.

“So cool.”

The children’s reaction mixed with profanity was just pure admiration for the power.

Unlike him, who had to think about political issues and security concerns, the children purely admired the power of the strong monster as an ability user.

They could have been jealous, but the display was so overwhelming that they didn’t even feel jealousy.

“Instructor. Can we… become like that too?”

A trainee asked cautiously.

The child, who looked dark with deep dark circles under his eyes, began to have eyes that sparkled with light.

The bright lights reflected in his pupils were still the flames and explosions decorating the sky, but the trainee was clearly looking straight up at those lights.

“Ah. Of course.”

Jeong Gong-in clenched his fists.

“You too can become like that. In Korea, A-rank ability users have risen to S-rank. Surely you can do it too. You can… start learning from now.”

In any training, setting a goal was always important.

“Sometime, the ones who intercept all the missiles and save the citizens will not be that unknown existence, but you will be the ones to intercept all the missiles flying towards you.”

And if.

If that monster flew instead of missiles, the ones to intercept that monster would also be the ability users.

Yes.

If modern firearms and the military couldn’t completely suppress the ability users.

“You are ability users, but you will become true soldiers of this country, protecting the security of the nation and the world. Understand!”

“”“Yes…!!”““

Ability users could become soldiers.

“Then, let’s go out to the field now! Arrest the villains and prisoners, and rescue the citizens! Move quickly, Assei! We are soldiers who save citizens!”

“”“Ahhhh!!”““

The ability user children, wearing red caps and red T-shirts, ran towards the streets all at once.

Not to kill someone.

But to save the citizens, just like that existence who intercepted the missiles.
