41 – A Brief Rest
That day was a truly peaceful day.
“Hmm… I’m tired.”
“So…”
Did you say that happiness comes after hardships? A holiday that came after a dangerous and difficult day. Someone is peeling an apple and laughing, someone is munching on an apple, and someone is dozing off while yawning repeatedly.
“Then go to sleep. “Why are you acting so crazy here!”
“Hey?!”
After finishing his training, Hyunwoo opened the door and came in, drying his head with a towel. He clicked his tongue and scolded at the sight he saw.
“Ah, boss. “Are you here?”
“Okay. “Can’t you answer why everyone is doing this here?”
“Because there is nothing to do…”
“Then everyone is resting in their rooms. Why are they doing this here?”
“That’s a bit much. “You look so unemployed.”
The villain is Baek Soo-ji, so what? Couldn’t a terrorist who commits terrorism as a job be said to have a job? Hyeon-woo swallowed back his words and flopped down on the chair next to Eun-ji. Eun-ji, who had dozed off to his words and opened her eyes with a sigh, smiled and stretched out her hand and started drying Hyeon-woo’s hair.
“Or you guys just play with the kids like Zero.”
“I said I couldn’t see it for some reason, but did you go there again?”
“There are three of us dealing with the kids, and it looks like it’s really difficult.”
“Ah. “Even Chanho oppa and Somin unni-“
“I don’t know their names, anyway.”
Hyunwoo waved his hands and said that he was exhausted when he saw the two villains who had joined at the time taking care of the children. Then, he remembered the girl, a vampire, who was sucking on a blood pack as if it were delicious, and asked.
“So, what was your name?”
“Suah. “I haven’t decided on a last name yet.”
“Huh? “Why is that?”
“They kept fighting and eventually gave up.”
Are they fighting over deciding on a last name rather than a name? Hyunwoo sighed and looked at Yujin and Eunji alternately, and they laughed awkwardly, flinching as if they were being stabbed.
“Anyway! So, have you made any progress?”
“Roughly.”
“Ah, as expected… Yes?!”
Hyeonwoo nodded in response to Eunji’s question, which quickly changed his mind, picked up an apple with his fork, and then brought it to her mouth. Eun-ji, who had been waiting for a familiar response and was about to offer comfort, soon shut out Hyun-woo’s answer and looked at him in surprise.
“Why are you so surprised? Was it that bad?”
“Amazing! “They say they’re making no progress every day, but then they say they’re suddenly reaching full bloom!”
“You guys are all in full bloom, and if you look at the babies that appear these days, none of them have stayed in their awakened state.”
Those who were looking at the grumbling Hyunwoo exchanged glances and smiled bitterly. Does he know? Those who are here now, all the heroes and villains who are approaching 10,000 – most of them have trained for at least 5 years.
Going from awakening to the next stage, full bloom, is not as easy as you might think. In fact, just looking at Su-ah, who joined this time, and Eugene and Zero, who are here, they are just being forced to become stronger through experiments, but they are receiving a good reward for it, and Sang-hoon is someone who has already steadily become stronger by accumulating countless battles in the past.
Even Eunji is a strong person who has been fighting between life and death since she was young. Even though he is similar in age to Hyunwoo, there is a huge difference in the number of actual battles he has accumulated.
“The boss is a monster enough in the eyes of others.”
“Don’t be funny. “There are real monsters.”
Obviously, the fact that the boy who lived a normal life before becoming a villain – or at least before entering the academy – is already reaching his full potential is probably thanks to a lot of effort. And if you don’t have some talent involved, you won’t be able to reach that level. However, the reason he is so negative now is-
“Because there are people my age who have already reached this level.”
The people who used to be his childhood friends and classmates, but are now enemies, probably react that way because they have overwhelming talent. They laughed bitterly and scratched their heads, but did not say it out loud.
“I’m hungry.”
“It’s already time for dinner… What should we eat?”
The two girls talk naturally and Sang-hoon shrugs his shoulders and starts looking for food to deliver.
Hyeonwoo looked at them and smiled bitterly, then took out his cell phone and opened his mouth.
“I already ordered it.”
“What about the menu?”
“Today is lunch. For your information, I live there.”
“Why?”
“Do you see the boss once or twice? “I’m living with that guy’s money anyway, so I guess he’s just being condescending.”
“Do you want to die?”
Well, there are still various incidents left, and considering how difficult they are, there may not be time to laugh like this –
“I’m really buying it with my own money this time, so don’t worry about it.”
“This can’t be happening…”
“Boss, you’re not sick, right? “I will treat-“
“Do you guys really want to die?”
For a short time, a short rest.
The supernova of a villain organization that made an uproar in the world. The members of Repentance were enjoying the leisurely peace, laughing and chatting like ordinary people.
“Hangyeol, what’s wrong?”
“The test… I failed…”
Meanwhile – The villains are making fun of Hyunwoo and are in danger of getting hit for real.
“It’s a paper exam. Why are you so depressed?”
“That’s right. “It doesn’t affect test scores anyway, and more than anything, we don’t have to worry about grades anymore.”
The students of Justice Academy, who were still considered heroes of the golden generation at an early age – were now gathered in the classroom talking and laughing like students of their age.
“No matter how much it doesn’t affect your grades! Even if grades don’t mean much anymore, that’s okay! “20 Points is a bit harsh!”
“If I knew that, I shouldn’t have studied more… I started to find out when I threw the book outside at the principal’s words.”
“Is this too much?!”
Hyeonwoo was shocked by Jihyeon’s comment and fell down on the desk, screaming. The two girls who would normally be comforting him were also looking down at him and smiling bitterly.
“Your problem… Won’t the graduation exam be a big problem if we continue like this?”
“It’s serious. “It’s good to just train together every day, but I need to study too.”
There are also exams at the academy. The laws and situational judgment that even heroes must know are ultimately things that must be accumulated through study. Even if it is a hero academy, it doesn’t make sense for students to not study.
Is that why? The two women are now looking at their report cards with serious expressions. And-
“I can’t do that. “Starting today, Hangyeol and Hyuna will gather at the library right away.”
“Why me?!”
“I didn’t tell you, because I know your grades aren’t any different.”
“How did you know?!”
While Hyun-ah, who had pretended to worry together without any problems, was looking at her So-ah in astonishment, Han-gyeol looked up at her with a face full of betrayal and opened her mouth.
“Did you fail too?! But the people around me must have laughed at my grades!”
“No, that’s-“
“He is worse than you. It’s 10 points. “You only got two questions right?”
“If I say that now… Don’t look at me like that!”
Increasing confusion. While the two of them, who were competing for first and second place in the class, were holding their heads and screaming, So-Ah looked at them and let out a deep sigh.
“Anyway, if I had just attended class well, I wouldn’t have gotten this grade.”
“Maybe you’re just a genius?”
“I’m average. “What is genius?”
“If you are a genius, there are only four average people in the entire school?”
The two glared at her this time as she lamented, having not missed her senior since first grade.
“Then shall we help you too?”
“It’s not a bad idea to all study together.”
“Oh, what is it? “What’s wrong with Jihyun?”
“Now there are still some final exams left, so first of all, I have to get a scholarship, right?”
The students in her class laughed out loud at them, and even Jihyun chuckled and continued the conversation while putting books into her bag –
“Then shall we go to the library?”
“This is my first time going since I was a freshman.”
“Then where on earth did you study during the exam period…?”
“Um… I didn’t!”
“I’m proud of you, b*tch! Pack your bags quickly! “I’m going to start studying right now!”
Now, the students, who are about to take the final exam, have escaped from being heroes for a moment and are enjoying the peace of being ordinary students.

“Thank you for your hard work.”
“What is hard work? “I just went for a walk.”
“The leader would be the only one who would say that returning from meeting Judgment was a walk.”
The woman looked at the man and smiled bitterly, and the man smiled loudly and sat down.
“Have you recovered your daughter?”
“That’s right. “You always get in trouble – you guys are going through a lot of trouble too.”
“What can I do? Seongah is the successor to the evil brigade, so we have no choice but to understand.”
“Hmm… The successor.”
“Isn’t that why, even if an accident occurs, the leader also takes care of it?”
The man immediately shook his head, and the woman looked at him quietly and shrugged her shoulders.
“That’s fine.”
“…This time too-“
“I just came to meet the guy I miss.”
“Judgement… Do you mean?”
The man waved her hand to silence her, and the woman, who nodded her head at her greeting, bowed her head and walked out, even though she did not hear her answer.
The door opens and then closes. And then a brief moment of silence follows. Meanwhile, he closed his eyes in contemplation.
The one I miss is Judgment, that’s right. Hanseong, the Serpent is his daughter and successor – well.
Everything is only half true. Judgment was once a friend, but now it is a complete enemy. There can be no villain who misses a hero, right? This feeling could be called love-hate. And Seong-ah-
“He is the successor.”
Not a daughter, just a heir. Although she passed on his last name, she is merely an heir without a drop of blood. The person he truly considers his child is-
“-I feel relieved because you are doing well.”
In the past and in the future – there will only be one.
“Now you can relax-“

The child who had been hidden away disappeared and suddenly appeared. With that fact alone, he was relieved and smiled-
“I can crush it.”
He opened his eyes again and clenched his fists.
Is it being protected by the heroes, or is it somewhere else? Now that we have confirmed that the person whose location we were unable to determine belongs to Repentance, there is no need to be passive anymore.
He smiled happily, took out his cell phone, and immediately made a call to somewhere-
-Chief.
“Get me ready.”
As if he couldn’t just watch these people enjoying a moment of peace, he started preparing his next plan to bring despair to their faces.
