Ep.156 Those Villains’ Training Section

I’m so proud that I did such a meaningful thing which was getting rid of a soon-to-be S-class villain. I feel satisfied as recalling the time when I felt 

Seoul.

The current Seoul looks the same as today and yesterday, but it wasn’t like that in the comic. It was also known as the New Seoul. It was a project led by Lee Seola, who took control of everything in Korea and rebuilt the new city. Unlike now, Lee Seola managed to rebuild Seoul, which had been smashed by a combination of three, Behemoth, HanEun group and Wolgwanggyo.

Her ambitious dream was smashed the first time when the portal was opened in the middle of the city by Wolgwanggyo, and it was smashed the second time when this Weapon Master invaded. Particularly, it’s no exaggeration to say that the Weapon Master hit the last move to create the New Seoul.

Of course, it’s no exaggeration to say that killing such a vicious man so easily is somewhat reassuring. Honestly, I don’t know how long this fluke will last…

Anyway, this Ego Stream treatment has another intention. It is to raise awareness of how vicious Egostic is.

I was enjoying watching TV while eating popcorn.

[Look at this/ Egostic also killed a small citizen who was making weapons at his disposal, just as a hobby. Isn’t it truly cruel to slaughter civilians with a knife as if you were the real justice? We should be afraid of him! And be careful of Egostic!]

Hmm, well, that’s quite true.

“Da-in, why are you watching cable TV? Turn on the terrestrial.”

Beep.

[Yes, here’s the next breaking news. It became a hot topic when it was revealed that Egostic killed a villain who had hidden thousands of weapons. The association seized all the weapons and said they would be a great force for South Korea. Some netizens expressed their opinions that Egostic might have protected Korea…]

“Tsk.”

My head started to hurt as I changed the channel, I eventually got up from my seat.

Yeah, I should go to work. What else do I do?

“Good. This is a long break. Seo-eun and Eun-wol, let’s go out for training. Oh, and Seo Jayoung, you too. Come out.”

“Nooo… Seo-eun, why did you do that? You should’ve let him continue watching that thing.”

Something purple, lying on the floor, floundering arms and legs, making death noises. Seo Jayoung.

…Gosh, someone would think you’re training every day.

“Now, now. If you lie down too much, your body will be in pain. Let’s go.”

“Aaaaaahh…”.

“If you keep being like that, I’m going to carry you out with telekinesis.”

“…Do it.”

“…What?”

“That’s pretty comfortable…”.”

“…Oh, my god.”

Eventually, I sighed, floated Seo Jayoung in the air with telekinesis, and went out.

…Well, it’s also a kind of training, I guess.

“Jayoung, is it okay to just lie down like that every day?”

“Yeah… Don’t worry. I’m a mollusk, so I get energy when I don’t move… Roar…”

Eun-wol, who asked her worriedly while walking out, and Seo Jayoung, who gave a puzzled answer.

Listening to their rakugo, I led them to a space in the forest.

“All right! Fight each other from now on.”

“Hic. How can I fight with this cute little Seo-eun? I can’t…”

“Well, Jayoung. Didn’t my suit almost get tanned last time because you fired at me relentlessly..?”

“I don’t remember…”

“Even when I already surrendered, you kept doing it…”

“Eun-wol will cast a fantasy spell.”

“What?!”

Seo-eun, who was scratching her cheek, Seo Jayoung, who was sticking out her flippers, and Eun-wol, who was surprised by the spark next to her.

…Seo Jayoung naturally continued to delay the time to move her body at all costs. How unbelievable this girl is. She’s actually the one who gets excited more than anyone else once the training starts.

“Well, anyway, let’s get started. Since Choi Sehee is not here, let’s have Eun-wol deal with you and Seo-eun alone this time.”

“Me, alone?”

“Yes, Eun-wol. You can do it. I believe in you!”

“…Well, all right. I’ll do my best!”

Eun-wol clenched her fist.

In fact, Eun-wol can do 2:1 alone. Eun-wol is the strongest one in real battles. There is also Desik, but his basic force is insufficient compared to Eun-wol.

“…We can take Eun-wol down once we work together. Right, Seo-eun?”

“That’s right. Baek Eun-wol, I’ll win this time, so prepare to lose!”

“Okay, try your best.”

Eun-wol replied with an eye smile.

Then Seo-eun also pressed something to summon her suit, and Seo Jayoung finally stretched and hung purple flames around her at the same time.

Eun-wol, who faced the two, also took a small prayer in a shaman outfit and soon created magic circles in her hands.

Everyone’s eyes are kind of getting heated up.

Boom. The training… not really, but a full-scale battle began…

If the boys can have fun when a ball is thrown at them.

We, villains, are excited once we get to play with our abilities when an opportunity battle comes.

And the peaceful forest began to grow noisy again, with the sound of something being smashed.

***

Future.

The future of this world is never at ease.

Dozens of disasters I know. Considering that monsters come out later, it’s all over the place.

In other words, I’ll sort of stop it. However, it’s obvious that force becomes more important as time passes.

And training your skills in advance in preparation for that is a must.

Of course, only Stardus is officially growing her ability. But that doesn’t mean training is useless. Rather, it’s more important. Unlike Stardus, who can grow on her own with simple fights, others regress if they don’t use their potential to the end through training.

That’s why I’m training the members in earnest these days. This is not enough to get through this rough second half of the comic. Stronger technology, faster reflexes, better techniques.

Training for that is mainly about conducting simulated combat. There’s no better training than the actual game.

However, the difference from the actual game is that I fly around and coach.

“Seo Jayoung, stop it, setting it up like a fire barrier! And Seo-eun, at times like this, avoid it rather than fight back. Eun-wol, watch your back. The back gets weak if you only do casting in front of you.”

“Huff, huff. Roger that!”

Eun-wol, who is gasping for breath but still answering me, is blocking Seo-eun and Jayoung with three magic circles at the same time.

So the battle continued for a while, and the training was finally over.

“Gosh… I won…”

Coming out of her suit and collapsing, Seo-eun is struggling.

I quickly approached Seo-eun and handed her the water I had prepared in advance.

“Here, drink. Drink.”

“Thank you, Da-in. Hmm…”

“I-I also need water…”

As I looked for water, I turned my head to see Seo Jayoung lying on the ground in front of me.

She had collapsed onto the grass, looking very exhausted.

“Here.”

“Thank you… Ahh, is this that honey water or something?”

While Seo Jayoung was lying down drinking water, Eun-wol, who had been hovering in the air, finally descended to the ground in her white traditional dress.

“Eun-wol, are you okay? Do you want some water too?”

“What? Oh, I’m okay.”

She smiled slightly.

Unlike the two who were already dying, Eun-wol seemed relatively fine, only breathing a little faster.

“Still, drink some water. You seem to have sweated a lot.”

“Okay.”

Eun-wol smiled and took the water bottle. Then, she put her black hair behind her neck and began to gulp it down.

After she emptied the bottle and closed the lid again, she looked at me and said, “Did I do well?”

“You did great. You were the best.”

I gave her a thumbs-up and answered with a pure smile.

Then, Seo-eun’s voice came from the side.

“Ah, I think I need to modify this suit a bit. I made it slimmer than the second version, but there seems to be a problem.”

Looking at her silver suit, Seo-eun mumbled like that.

“But still, Seo-eun, I think the technology has improved since last time, right?”

“I wasn’t just fooling around either. But Da-in, can’t you join us next time? It was more intense when you were with us than just the two of us. You know, you have Behemoth.”

“Now my Behemoth is being repaired in that liquid in the laboratory because it  due to absorbing the shock of an explosion last time.”

“Oh, I see.”

As Seo-eun nodded as if she remembered something, we headed back home.

Since we finished this training like this, we can do it again with Se-hee and Death Knight in the next one.

“Oh, I need to take a month off now…”

By the way, Seo Jayoung, who muttered on the floor, will definitely participate in the training.

Because they have a lot of training to catch up on since they recently joined…

Anyway, days passed while we trained.

“Hmm…”

Come to think of it, that ‘Villain Union’ will be launched soon.

No, more accurately, should I call it the international villain union…? Anyway, there are definitely a lot of events in the second half. Ah, how should I get involved in it? We should also recruit PMC…

While I was thinking, I got a call from Lee Seola.

Oh, is it about PMC?

“Hey, Seola. Why?”

With a happy heart, I answered the phone.

Then I heard unexpected news.

“…What? Stardus is trying harder than ever to capture me?”

As soon as I heard the news, I paused for a moment. Then I quickly thought about it.

Stardus is trying to catch me.

Stardus is working hard to catch the villains.

Stardus is working hard to destroy the villains and ignite their will.

…Hmm.

After listening to Lee Seola’s words, I thought to myself.

Well, as a righteous person, she is trying to catch the villains.

Isn’t it a good thing after all?

“Great!”

[Da-in, I don’t think that’s the case, no matter how much I think about it.]

Lee Seola simply responded to my words over the phone.

…That’s true, but why?
