chapter 24: heroes are those who overcome the irrational (1)
the scene of the incident had calmed down.
villain lilith, who had become a demon, was destroyed by the goblin’s strikes, and the unidentified golden knight who appeared on the scene disappeared in a flash of light.
“.......”
looking at the hero alliance officials who were only now starting to clean up the rubble, baek seol-hee clenched her fists.
wasn’t it ridiculous to just watch and get angry?
if it hadn’t been sejong island, but busan, she would have run to help people.
she had come within less than 200m, but baek seol-hee could not approach the scene.
“eeeek! unnie, i’m a fan!”
“it’s snow white! the real snow white!”
“wow.... look at that snow white. i think i could die without regret now.”
because of the crowd surrounding her, who had come to see the incident site.
beep.
[snow white.]
[let me be clear, do not ‘cause a scene’.]
[leave the scene clean-up to the lower ranks, maintain the dignity of an s-class. understand?]
because of the incessant messages from some nagging old men.
“.......”
baek seol-hee remained silent.
fearing that saying something might just make her angrier, she maintained her persona—remaining quiet, as befitting her old nickname of ‘ice princess’.
just dealing with the people was complex enough, but far too many elements complicated her thoughts.
the issue of the golden knight.
well, the golden knight could be thought of as just an unregistered hero.
it could be a person who suddenly awakened their ability before entering school and appeared to defeat the villain in a restaurant.
in time, while the instructors evaluated the freshmen, surely someone would reveal their abilities, and their identity would be discovered.
so she wasn’t really worried about that.
what she was really worried about was the ‘goblin’.
“by the way, how did the goblin appear?”
“goblins have a way of showing up anywhere. it’s just a matter of time.”
“sure, he shows up when he’s bored, but he’s never appeared on sejong island before.”
“who knows? maybe it’s because the girl who stalked him has come here.”
these irritating comments reached baek seol-hee’s ears.
she couldn’t categorically deny them because she, too, had such thoughts.
currently, snow white and the goblin have formed a sort of ‘rival’ relationship.
it was partly because snow white always failed to catch the goblin, but also because they had clashed several times already, leading the world to regard them as the typical hero-villain – good and evil arrangement.
“that golden knight was really strong, right?”
“i think the first to ever engage the goblin in close combat might be that knight, right? even snow white fights from a distance.”
“wow, shit. s-class fights look so effortless, but they’re really chilling. i want to fight like that, seriously.”
“...now, isn’t the goblin’s rival the golden knight? hehe.”
however, another existence appeared and seized that spot.
they fought against the goblin more aggressively than she did and even threatened the goblin instead of backing down.
more than anything else...
“look at this photo. should this be called goblin’s second form?”nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
“wouldn’t it be better to call it the battle form? it’s always been in a suit. but this... it’s completely... it looks like a tactical battle suit.”
“if you made a powered suit in the form of a goblin, it would look just like this. isn’t it the first time we’ve seen him wielding something like batons in both hands?”
“so he hasn’t even shown half of his abilities so far. what a terrifying creature, that dedicated goblin...!”
the new form that the goblin showed.
it was much stronger and faster than the previous suit goblin.
the weapon it wielded was not a crude object like a bat without nails that it normally used, but a sophisticated and sharp rod, which was stylish rather than fierce.
“so, was the golden knight strong enough to draw out the battle form of the goblin....”
“then, is that knight now the goblin’s adversary?”
“it’s a contest. a decisive battle. who is the true pinnacle of evil...i, duoexini, will show you.”
with a deep sigh, the young man, still dressed in his modernized hanbok and pulling his hat lower, disappeared into the darkness.
at that moment, in a girl’s dormitory room.
“ah!”
a blonde girl thrashed about, her face buried in her pillow.
“ahhh!”
although she was screaming, she was careful not to let others hear, but her voice filled the room sharply, despite her attempt to muffle it.
bang!
yumir kicked the blanket.
not from bottom to top, but a knee kick against the neatly folded blanket. she tormented the fabric and started to tear at her hair while punching her pillow.
“ahhh...! how could i make such a mistake...!”
yumir, her scalp now flushed red, was crying.
she was shedding tears not out of sadness but out of shame.
“i’ve never shown anyone...! i’ve never exposed myself to anyone! ahh, i can’t get married now...!”
she had shown her naked body to a man.
moreover, to a man she had been in conflict with, to a villain of all people.
“.......”
yumir lay flat on her back.
clutching the black durumagi placed on her body tightly, yumir bit her lower lip while fiddling with the durumagi.
“i’ll never transform again...to save people, meddling in their business. tsk....”
why did she transform?
even when she hadn’t yet resolved this ‘side effect’.
this side effect where her clothes didn’t return after the transformation-
beep beep beep.
her taegeuk watch began to ring.
yumir realized once again why she had transformed.
“teacher!”
“yumir, are you okay?”
a man’s voice that was filled with concern.
yumir flipped over, bringing the taegeuk watch close to her face.
“yes...! and you, teacher?!”
“i’m still at the scene, i couldn’t see yumir, so i was searching for you.”
“......!”
yumir was about to rush out, but stopped short, looking down at the durumagi and making a crying face.
“well, you see.”
yumir frowned heavily.
“...teacher, can we continue our meal next time?”
“yumir? is there something wrong?”
“no, no! not like that, or should i say there is....”
“are you safe right now?”
a very serious voice.
“...yes.”
yumir spoke the embarrassing truth, and soon, a sigh of relief and laughter flowed out.
“i’m glad. as long as you’re safe. and yumir, no matter what happened...i hope you’re not hurt. i’m on your side, yumir.”
“......yes. thank you.”
“hehe. see you next time, then.”
yumir.
“...auto-recording.”
she pulled out her smartphone, quickly operated the app that would play a certain phrase on repeat, and quietly closed her eyes.
[i’m on your side, yumir—–]
“......hehe.”
