103 – Between Peace and Unrest (2)
After all the students gathered together and were informed of the situation, the students were divided into several groups.
“How on earth did this happen?!”
“I don’t know!”
Among them, Injun, who was assigned the role of a support group and headed to the rooftop of the tallest building, responded to Yena, who shouted out loudly. He was angry at the thought that the date was ruined, and at the same time, he looked at her as if he could not believe the current situation. His face was distorted.
“Terrorism when so many people are gathered together? “Are you out of your mind?!”
“So, although he is a villain – at least the Academy is not normal for not canceling the festival. No, to be precise, I should say that the problem is not the academy, but the higher-ups who made the decision.”
The church in my dreams. The silent snake. The evil brigade.
This is a lineup that makes your heart sink just by hearing it, but are they joining forces to attack? It’s just strange that they don’t run away right away…
“We just criticize whatever we’re told to do. “What can we do about what has already happened?”
“Damn. “I should have just taken over the company.”
In a situation where they are heroes, it is already confirmed that they will have to deal with them rather than running away.
Anyway, their actions had already been decided, and now was not the time to complain like this.
Even if there are complaints, they have already arrived at the rooftop a long time ago, and now they have to start exploring.
“We should start by monitoring. How is it? It’s Sooa. “Is there anyone suspicious?”
The first thing to do is to identify those who are suspicious.
Injun, who had decided that, asked So-ah who arrived on the roof of the building first, but she stretched out her hand and created the shape of a butterfly with her shadow and just stayed still without answering.
“Wait a minute. “He seems to be concentrating right now, so let’s wait.”
As Yena said, So-ah, who was still motionless, was still concentrating with her eyes closed.
Butterflies continue to flit from her shadow as most of her students stare intently at her.
“What is it?”
“Why is a butterfly in the middle of winter an event?”
They soon came closer and, leaving behind the people who were admiring the sight of the butterflies flying leisurely, they continued to spread out in all directions-
“…It’s done.”
The butterflies finally spread throughout the academy. After catching her breath and opening her eyes, So-ah looked back at Yena and smiled bitterly.
“Soa. How is it?”
“I spread the word and started monitoring, but honestly, I don’t know what to do next.”
Wiping off the cold sweat, So-Ah shrugged her shoulders and answered her question, and her students just smiled bitterly and nodded at her.
If they detect any suspicious movement, there is nothing they can do even if they just wait with bated breath.
“Can I just wait until the teacher and the other heroes find it?”
“…I guess so.”
In the first place, their role was to identify suspicious events and convey to other heroes those who were behaving abnormally or showing signs of causing terrorism.
“…I hope the other kids are okay.”
Those who were complaining about the fact that there was nothing they could do right now naturally began to worry about the other students.
Unlike those who provide support from behind, the others are those who are directly facing the crisis, so in some ways it was natural –
“…Huh?”
“Soa. What’s the matter?”
“No, a person just disappeared… Huh? Uh? Uh?!”
Unfortunately, they couldn’t just rest in the back.
“Are you a child? “What on earth is going on?”
It took a moment for Soa to raise a question. Now in a cold sweat and embarrassed, other students asked her about her situation, but she could not answer.
Her countless butterflies are just another eye for her.
As she continued to look down at the situation, what she saw was a bizarre sight of several people continuing to disappear.
“…What the hell is this?”
People keep disappearing. However, we cannot find common ground.
The sight of people exhibiting strange behavior suddenly creaking and disappearing as if erased was, to her, an act that went beyond her common sense.
“…This is Group G. People-“
But you can’t just sit still.
So-ah began her report stuttering, trying to explain the absurd sight in a way that made sense, but-
-Well, what should I say about this? People are disappearing like they are evaporating.
“We know!”
Fortunately or unfortunately, she didn’t have to bother explaining it, and those who were on the scene and investigating already knew that fact.
“Damn. Suddenly disappearing? What’s happening?!”
The behavior of those who were laughing and chatting stiffened, and suddenly their limbs began creaking like dolls.
Its behavior is suspicious, so if you try to chase it, it suddenly disappears as if evaporating.
“…Is it perhaps hiding? Or teleportation?”
“I think the latter is more likely. “I can’t say it’s stealth because it doesn’t get detected by me.”
Not being detected means that you have left this location. That doesn’t mean that you’re hiding your appearance.
You might feel relieved when you see people disappearing without doing anything – but for them, it only causes greater anxiety.
I don’t know what they were thinking when they disappeared, or if they were using space-based abilities to teleport, I don’t know where they are going and what they are doing.
“…Do you think it would be wrong to investigate?”
“Okay. Hero Handsome! Or even another support group! “Have you found out anything?”
The heroes gritted their teeth and tried to investigate their whereabouts, but they were unable to find those who had already disappeared, so they asked another support team –
-Unfortunately, I don’t know.
-If you are a talented person, are there any suspicious people nearby?
-We’ve been looking for it too, but there doesn’t seem to be anything special…
It seemed like the support team had no idea what the situation was. In the end, they just frowned and stamped their feet.
“…This is killer. “No one recognizes you, right?”
“Don’t let your guard down. “And if you notice it once, you’re out.”
They had no idea that there were four villains walking around near them, and that they were even talking to them nearby.
“No… Is it because I was careless or something, and there is a possibility of getting caught in the first place? “You wouldn’t know it even if it was right nearby.”
Sanghoon, who shrugged his shoulders in response to Hyunwoo’s words of caution, clicked his tongue as he looked at the three people trudging by his side.
No, you can’t even call them people. That’s because not only were their eyes unfocused – they were corpses whose hearts, which should have been beating if they were alive, had stopped.
“…It’s amazing.”
“Right?”
A corpse controlled by the enemy, whether the head of the evil brigade or someone else. A hex often used by the evil brigade and one of the worst superpowers.
How are those corpses moving in accordance with their movements now?
“Oppa! Where do we go next?”
“Front over there. “Let’s go to the place that sells cotton candy.”
The girl is now walking forward as if she is excited. It was a technique that was possible because Su-Ah was controlling them.
“But, shouldn’t there be no blood in a normal corpse? “My heart has stopped.”
“I don’t know. “How do I know what’s going on in the minds of these crazy people?”
It controls the blood remaining in the body and makes it move. The use of abilities that go beyond common sense to the extent that others would never believe them if they told them about it.
If they had used corpses that didn’t even have blood left, they wouldn’t have been able to do something like this, but since Hyunwoo remembered the scene of them bleeding in the game, he confidently implemented this plan.
“Everyone came? “What do we do now?”
“…There is no answer here. “Let’s leave this to the heroes.”
Of course, it would have been impossible if it weren’t for Su-ah’s talent, who is now asking with an innocent expression.
A man selling cotton candy and smiling at children – to be exact, Hyunwoo, who saw a corpse lying like that, smiled bitterly and turned his back.
“Is it okay to pass it on so irresponsibly?”
“Then what can I do? Since this is what a hero would do in the first place, he should do this much. I gave you a hint like this, so you’ll figure it out right away.
The risk of being caught is low because the heroes are cognitively inhibited so that they do not feel anything suspicious even when looking at them, but if you just reduce the number, the heroes will definitely notice.
Even if their immediate performance was poor, they were not so incompetent that they could not find common ground among those who were suddenly disappearing –
“Aren’t we overestimating our heroes too much? “There’s no way that’s possible if you don’t notice this much-“
“Excuse me?”
…Like right now.
Sang-hoon tried to continue his speech, but a girl who interrupted them silenced him and broke into a cold sweat. And it’s the same for Hyunwoo.
“I guess you are a group guest. Yes?”
“…Yes.”

The girl who is now looking at them suspiciously – Hero Yasha.
“Hmm. Are you enjoying the festival well?”
“hahahaha. “It’s nice because there are so many things to see.”
“Really? Well then, I’m glad… Are you having fun too, little girl?”
“Yes!”
Hyuna was smiling brightly as she spoke to them, but she was talking to Su-a, who was still smiling brightly at her –
“…Then, please enjoy it. Then-“
“Thank you. Take care.”
The sight of them taking a quick glance at the corpses, which are supposed to be blocking their recognition, and then leaving,
“…Did you get caught?”
“First of all, it’s probably a stage of suspicion. Did you say more than that? “There’s no way heroes are incompetent.”
Because it was nothing short of proof that they were being suspected.
“Damn. “I thought it was easy mode, but it was hardcore.”
“So you said it? If you let your guard down, it’s over. Well, since there is no evidence right now, I think it’s overlooked…”
Although we just passed it on for now, it is true that we cannot say that this will not happen in the future.
“Let’s be careful.”
“…What if I just run away?”
“Is it possible?”
When Sang-hoon realized that fact, he broke into a cold sweat and looked nervous, unlike before, and Hyun-woo sighed, took a deep breath, and started walking forward.
