28 – Discipline 13. The leader is not surprised by the villain (3)
I’ll say it again.
After reincarnation, it took quite a long time for me to make a very simple and obvious resolution to ‘live happily’.
All children born in Academy City go through a similar process.
He is locked in a small room and protected by a childcare robot, and from the time he was able to learn knowledge, he watches educational materials every day at a level close to brainwashing.
If you look away from the educational video or do anything else, the AI will recognize it and whip you.
It was a painful time as hell for me, who had memories of my past life and was able to discern between right and wrong earlier than others.
How amazing is it that the difficult magical practice became a refuge for me.
I spent a lot of time in places where there was no human scent, and for a long time I resented the mysterious phenomenon that reincarnated me.
It was a natural progression to feel a strong thirst for human affection.
The woman in front of me was the first person to appear in front of me and be on my side.
She was Kim Dal-bi.
“It’s been a while?”
I greeted my childhood friend, who still looked like the villain from the game, in a cold tone.
My heart did not calm down.
I felt like I had found a missing family member. First, I suppressed my overwhelming emotions as much as possible.
I am grateful for the past years of training my poker face. If I didn’t know how to properly manage my facial expressions, my facial expressions would have been pretty disgusting by now.
“… ….”
Kim Dal-bi’s eyes widened for a moment, as if he didn’t know he would see me in a place like this. Soon, her expression calmed down.
Dalbi stared at me and blinked her eyes. The time until then felt long.

“… It’s been a while, Woojin! How have you been doing?”
Dalby smiles and greets with a carefree smile.
It was a friendly response, like a friend I met yesterday.
Dalbi’s voice echoed inside her goblin mask. Her heart responded to that voice.
For the first time in many years, there was a completely different emotional gap from when she received Dalby’s letter.
The voice she heard directly from Dalby seemed to rekindle the embers of emotion she thought had gone out.
The words ‘I missed you’ rose up to her throat. She swallowed with difficulty.
She closed her mouth and approached Dalbi.
The bomb horse Lee Ha-min and the goblin were in his path, but he didn’t care.
“How can the leader… ?”
Ha-min, who was still surprised, gritted his teeth and took out the remote control from his pocket.
“You guys… “Are you ignoring me!?”
The corners of Ha-min’s mouth barely raised and trembled.
“There are still a lot of bombs… ! Swimming… ! I can kill everyone on this street! I’m not someone you can ignore… !”
While walking, he leaped towards Ha-min and swung his triple baton as if an arrow was being shot. Kwaang!! A strong blow and shock wave of electricity hit him.
Before Ha-min could react, his head was struck violently and he was thrown through the air. Quang! The body was once again thrown against the wall where it had supposedly been thrown.
Ha-min was silent.
He fainted.
Bomb Demon is a vicious villain who plays explosive games while efficiently running away.
Well, they are just troublesome enemies when their whereabouts are unknown.
It was so easy to deal with if it was close by.
I approached Ha-min and lightly broke his remote control and wrist watch.
He also threw a restraining ball.
Charak!
The belt suddenly popped out of the restraints and caught Ha-min.
With this, the disruptor disappeared.
I looked at Dalbi again. She crossed her arms and watched me quietly.
‘It’s relaxing.’
It was worth it.
It was obvious that Dalbi was overwhelmingly stronger than me.
Dalbi is a powerhouse close to the 7th rank.
She can manipulate the power of goblins, and as an added bonus, her goblin troops follow her. Quantity war, firepower war. Her fighting power is second to none.
It is a fraudulent unique ability.
But surprisingly, unlike other unique abilities, there are no notable activation conditions or penalties. It must exist, but even the community couldn’t figure it out.
So, I don’t know what Dalby’s weakness is.
It is simply judged that fighting with the maximum firepower of the leader is the best solution. It was because of such a monster that I became the leader in the first place.
In the end, even if I fought Dalby here, my defeat was as obvious as fire.
But if I had to fight, I was going to fight.
There is no place to run away anyway.
Putting her hands in her pockets.
I pressed the speed dial number 1 on my smartphone to quickly send a text message with simplified call instructions.
The opponent was Deputy Chief Oh Baek-seo.
He must have been carrying out my instructions. The process of identifying the characteristics of the small drone bomb I told you about and disposing of it in cooperation with the management office.
This was an order I could give because I knew how to deal with bomb demons.
Now that the bomb horse was caught, there was no need to rush.
It would have been better to leave this mission to the management office and deal with Dalby with me.
Tsk!
The magical power of lightning arose on the three-stage pole. Dalbi must have sensed my intention to fight and narrowed her eyes.
“Are you trying to catch me?”
“That’s right.”
“Is it possible to do it?”
“That’s fine.”
He shrugged his shoulders and answered calmly.
For a conversation with a precious person I haven’t seen in a long time, I didn’t have much emotion.
I wasn’t a big person or a powerful person enough to take my time against Dalbi.
“First, let’s ask one question.”
Before going into battle.
So many things came to mind that I wanted to say to Dalbi.
Why are you here?
Why did you become a villain?
Why did you say that my innocence was good?
What did I mean to you?
And so on.
I was curious about everything, but it wasn’t the right time to ask each question.
Still, it was clear what I wanted to ask Dalby first among the words floating around in my head.
I said those words.
“Why did you leave without saying anything? “You could have told me the reason before you went.”
I was not qualified to hold Dalbi captive.
But, at least I could have told you the reason.
If he knew I would be sad, why did Dalby just leave?
Dalbi looked worried and only smiled meaningfully.
“Isn’t it meaningless to tell you now? We’ve already come too far….”
“What nonsense?”
What kind of ambiguous attitude is that? .
A sigh naturally flowed out.
“Just say it. “Don’t be frustrated.”
Does she think she is the heroine of some kind of drama?
What comes to mind is the warmth I shared with Dalbi as we often hugged each other during our childhood.
And these were the letters she left me at intervals of several years after Dalby left.
In the letter, Dalby called himself ‘garbage’.
To be precise, he told me that even though he became trash, he was always on my side.
It seemed similar to the feeling of being in an emotional mood and posting cringy phrases in the status message of the messenger profile. You might regret it later.
I wasn’t the kind of idiot who could read something so full of regret and take it at face value.
“Why did you leave without saying a word and give me those letters?”
I wasn’t generous enough to accept such vague behavior.
“… “I’m sorry for behaving so poorly.”
However, Dalby did not give a clear answer.
“Why did you leave a letter? , I don’t know either. I just wanted to do that. “It’s hard to say why he left without saying a word.”
Dalbi smiled awkwardly.
“But is it real? “I’m on your side unconditionally.”
“Then say… !”
“If you tell, you will die.”
“What?”
I was speechless without knowing the unexpected answer. It was because my mind became confused.
What kind of bullsh*t was that? My mind had to spin for a moment.
“… See you later.”
As if he would not continue the conversation, Dalby turned his back on her and began to move his feet.
It was not the time to be immersed in confusion.
“The conversation probably isn’t over yet.”
I captured my emotions and adjusted my posture. Right after.
Paaat!
I rushed towards Dalbi as if I was being shot.
At that moment, a goblin blocked us.
Kaang!
When she swung her triple baton, the goblin blocked it with the bat. Pajik! The shock wave of electricity spread out and pushed the bat away.
Perhaps because he thought it was an unexpected force, the goblin looked quite embarrassed.
The advantage of the triple rod is that the connection operation is very fast and simple. He immediately swung in succession and hit the goblin’s body.
Pow!!
Passy!!
Two consecutive shock waves of lightning struck the goblin in an instant. The goblin, unable to withstand the shock wave, was pushed back.
But it didn’t fly.
The guy barely managed to maintain his balance even as his feet slid across the ground.
The skin was quite hard.
It appears that the body has been strengthened to a high level with magical power.
The goblin let out steam and glared at me with two pairs of vicious eyes.
A chain of shock waves.
This is a technique that became possible after fighting the Anomia guys last time. I felt like my battle experience was gradually accumulating.
Last time I experimented, I was able to get the result of inflicting about 1.5 To 2 times more damage than a normal shock wave at once.
Sharp. The damage must have been accumulated all at once, as the goblin bent down on one knee and collapsed.
However.
Surrr.
Before rushing in again.
Smoke rose from the ground and another goblin appeared. A big menacing figure. The iron bat he held in his hand was large and heavy, commensurate with his size.
Two goblins blocked my path. Beyond them, I could see Dalby’s back moving away.
Quang!
Howling!
The iron bat swung by the large goblin shattered the ground. A rising flame element. If I had tried to block that attack straight away, I wouldn’t have been able to recover even a single bone.
However, it seemed like the speed was intentionally adjusted. Like firing a threatening shot. It was probably something I thought I would avoid.
Thank you for watching.
My pride was very hurt.
A battle took place with two goblins. I was very annoyed with them looking at me without even knowing the topic.
Charak! I took advantage of the opportunity and took out the axle stick from my belt with my free hand. The two goblins in front of me were probably unexpected.
Intense blue-green electricity spreads through the pole.
I swung it like that.
Passy!!
The flash took control of the two goblins and unleashed a powerful bolt of electricity, engulfing them. Slur. The two goblins fell down helplessly.
Paaat! Through the aftermath of the lightning explosion, he rushed towards Dalby. Before I knew it, I saw Dalbi, who had been surprised by the explosion caused by Byeokchukbong, looking back at me.
Sreung!
Dalbi reflexively pulled out his sword.
My triple staff clashed with her sword.
Kaang!
Pajik!
“Bwak!”
Did they think I wouldn’t be able to overcome two goblins in a short time? Dalbi, who was not prepared, was unable to properly control her magic and lost her balance.
I don’t know what the story is about Dalbi.
The only thing that is clear is that she is the villain and I am the leader.
The fact that we must first subdue her and interrogate her remains unchanged.
The triple pole wrapped in lightning cut through the air and headed towards Dalbi’s neck.
