I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

Chapter 93: The Dignity Of Rank S (1)

No matter how crazy the world became, there was still a thing called morality in this world.

This morality varied from person to person, country to country, and world to world.

Earth and this world were different.

After the great transformation, the common sense of this world crumbled along with the meteorite.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots filled the road.

The sound of bullets hitting the ground, hitting cars, and screams due to the gunfire rang out in a trio.

“Aghhh!”

“Even though you’re an ability user…”

I lightly turned the steering wheel and infringed on the centerline.

“Protecting yourself with magic power, bullets won’t even sting. Why the scream?”

“Ha, does a shootout like this even make sense in Korea right now?!”

“Indeed, it doesn’t.”

Though it was a road leading north, and I got closer to the Hwalbindang gangsters for a moment, this car was thoroughly bulletproof.

Vroooom!!

The RPM instantly passed the topmost level, and I rushed forward, avoiding the car that had momentarily stopped due to the gunfire.

It was a counterflow.

There should be no cars ahead.

“What are you going to do if a car comes from the front!”

“Then we just have to avoid it.”

I returned the car to its original lane.

Then, the Hwalbindang gangsters, no, the outlaws spun around at the intersection and chased after me.

“It seems like they are targeting the lady.”

“I’ll see it for myself!”

“Please do not unfasten your seatbelt. I will take you to Yangyang.”

“What?”

There was no need to change gears.

Just had to follow the navigation and keep driving forward while stepping hard on the accelerator.

‘Being an ability user does have its perks.’

I, who had only ever driven at 140km/h on a highway, was now driving close to 200km/h.

And that too on the East Coast Road.

It was somewhat smoother than the real-world roads, but still, driving at this speed on a winding road was crazy.

But my ability made it possible.

The extended senses through mana and the enhanced physical abilities through my ability made it possible.

Regardless of anything else, my agility was rank A, so I checked my surroundings in a second and drove forward.

You could call it good driving, but the problem was that there were guys keeping up with this speed.

Vrooooom!

“You corner well. Are you a former driver soldier?”

“What does that have to do with anything!”

“Driver soldiers are all brilliant at cornering.”

There were as many as four motorcycles really proficiently chasing me, taking the corners.

They had even installed a device on their handles where if you pulled the lever connected to the handle, the gun trigger was pulled with it.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

The gunfire was concentrated on the trunk part.

I swerved slightly to dodge the bullets, but with all four motorcycles shooting from behind at once, I couldn’t dodge them all.

“Aghhh!”

“It’s bulletproof glass, we’re fine.”

“Why are you so calm!”

“Because I’m a professional. Be careful with the shock.”

After checking the navigation, I said,

“Counter-attack time.”

“Eh? Ahhh?!”

I slammed the brakes.

Screeeeech!!

The three motorcycles chasing me from behind saw the brake warning light and quickly changed directions.

Thud!

The guy at the back didn’t see it and crashed his motorcycle right into the back of the car. As soon as I felt the impact, I hit the accelerator again.

“If it were my car, I would never have done this.”

“Ugh…!”

Crash.

One of the hooligans who fell on the car trunk just rolled onto the ground.

“Is he dead…?!”

“They are ability users. The four of them are keeping up with us at this speed. They’re all ability users.”

There was no way the guy who follows effortlessly at 200km/h on a motorcycle and could fire a gun wasn’t an ability user.

If not?

…

Well, anyone firing a rifle from a motorcycle at dawn was a villain.

Even if they died, it was just a villain who died.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

The muzzle spat fire again.

The recoil should have slowed them down, but I suppose because a motorcycle was lighter than a car, it kept tailing me without a hitch, even with the recoil of gunfire.

Vroooom!

One of them even tried to overtake me.

As he moved his motorcycle close to the driver’s seat and tried to attach something, I immediately swerved the car.

Screeeech!

Turning a sharp curve, the car tilted sideways, and the guy who came close to the driver’s seat, surprised, turned his handle the other way.

Bam!

The rear of the car hit the front wheel of his motorcycle.

He slipped and rolled on the ground, and the object he was trying to attach dropped lifelessly to the ground.

Boom!!

A lively explosion sound rang out.

In the rearview mirror, a red explosion kicked up a cloud of dust.

“There’s no rule saying you can’t use bombs while shooting guns.”

“Wh, why are you so calm?!”

“I’m not your designated driver for no reason. But… it looks like they are quite serious.”

A barricade was spread out in front as I pressed the accelerator to rush forward again.

Several layers of yellow metal bars were stretched out, and armed hooligan archers were aiming at us on either side.

The ‘Gangneung City’ sign behind them was so out of place that I almost laughed.

“Wh, what are those…! Why go to such lengths…!”

“Well, you’re trying to smuggle out S-grade genes. Of course, they’d kick up a fuss.”

“You, you knew…!”

“Yes, I knew.”

I turned my head back for a moment.

“I’m doing it because it’s the Chairwoman’s order, not because I want to.”

“Ah, look ahead!”

“Why should I? Anyway….”

I pressed the pedal even harder.

“Barricade or not, I’m going to break through and go forward.”

I sent my energy to the steering wheel.

The left hand holding the wheel started to burn with red flames, and soon the flames were sucked into the front of the car.

Whoosh.

A fire caught on the front of the car.

As if the fire was running with flames in its mouth, the car rammed into the barricade while burning with flames as red as blood.

Aaargh!!

I heard someone screaming as we passed through the barricade, but I didn’t pay much attention and continued to press the accelerator.

“Wh, who the hell are you….”

The car raced forward.

It was full of bullet marks, and the speed had slowed down a bit, but there was no significant impediment to driving.

“Currently, I am Moby Dick, directly under Chairman ‘Gunggi.’”

“I’ve never heard… Well, whatever. You.”

Yuliana, who seemed to have relaxed a little, leaned forward while holding onto the passenger seat.

“Do you have any plans to join October Travel… Aagh!”

I hit the brake hard.

Yuliana hit her face on the passenger seat’s backrest, and I stopped the car and then started moving forward again.

“Wh, what was that all of a sudden!”

“It was a red light.”

“That’s nonsense…! You’ve been ignoring all the signals until now!”

“Have I?”

I didn’t know about that.

---

At that time.

The commotion that happened in Gangwon Province quickly spread to key figures related to national defense.

• Yuliana Feygreen, the granddaughter of the aviation company October Travel, has acquired Taejo’s genes.

• This morning, she attempted to leave the country through a private flight from Yangyang Airport.

• We have received intelligence that the anti-government group ‘Hwalbindang’ intends to capture the chairman of October Travel and recover and incinerate Taejo’s genes.

• The international terrorist group ‘Yi Maemangryang’ has confirmed support. All S-class heroes who can be dispatched are asked to gather in Gangwon Province.

“…….”

There was a call to assemble on the Taeguk Watch that had been ringing since dawn, directed to ‘Snow White’.

“Taejo, what trouble has this man gotten himself into this time….”

Reading the report that only the reliable S-class heroes of the nation, unknown to the others and the media, received directly, Baek Seol-hee took off her pajamas with a serious face.

“So a foreigner girl and Taejo…ah, anyway, that guy. He gets himself into trouble because he’s too young….”

Baek Seol-hee made coffee in her kitchen while shaking her head.

Drinking coffee in the morning was a little burdensome, but she needed a bit of caffeine for a clear mind.

“Should I go, or should I not?”

This was a request.

It was not a threat.

Even during her vacation in Seoul, such an emergency telegram arrived, and the president himself called and asked to stop the northward-moving Red Scarf.

But now it was different.

This time, it was a real request.

“Sending me this message at this time….ah, they’re trying to train me. If I don’t act, there will be chaos later, and even if I do act, the situation would have already been resolved.”

It was clear that asking her to go to Gangwon Province at this urgent time, especially when chaos would be unfolding by now, was ‘too much’.

Beep.

The Taeguk Watch rang again.

Baek Seol-hee thought about simply turning off the Taeguk Watch and taking a shower, but her expression changed as she saw the emergency report on the Taeguk Watch.

-Gunfire exchange occurred.

-It’s estimated that Hwalbindang is using almost one gun per person.

-Currently, ‘Armored Taejo’ is flying from Busan to Gangwon Province.

“……Insane. Shooting guns in Korea? The world has truly gone mad.”

Baek Seol-hee laughed hollowly at the unbelievable report.

Beep.

The phone rang.

It was a number she knew, and Baek Seol-hee immediately answered.

“Yes, hello, Irin.”

[Unnie, are you looking at the emergency report right now?]

“Yes, your brother….”

[Not my brother, something else.]

Baek Seol-hee frowned slightly at the petulant tone of the girl’s voice, but she quickly let go of her annoyance, thinking that it made sense if that was about a male family member.

[I’m thinking of going; would you like to come with me?]

“Um….”

[If there’s a crisis, wouldn’t your prince also come out?]

“What are you talking about? Who’s my prince? You’re pretty bold to say that.”

[Isn’t it half true…?]

“Quiet.”

Baek Seol-hee flicked her fingers and quickly dressed using magic.

“Alright, I’ll change and go to you right away, so get ready. We need to head to Yangyang first.”

[To see your prince?]

“You really…”

It just so happened that she woke up at dawn and decided to go.

“Do you think I’m going to a crisis spot just because there might be the Goblin? Do you think I’m going to meet the Goblin?”

[You might run into him by accident.]

“If I meet the Goblin in Gangwon Province… yes.”

Baek Seol-hee chuckled and put on a shirt.

“I’ll ask the Goblin for a date over a cup of tea. You’re saying something that doesn’t make sense. Why would the Goblin be there in Gangwon Province?”

[What if there is?]

“Then.”

Flap.

“That would be destiny.”

Baek Seol-hee wound an ice fishing line around her finger.
