I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

Chapter 257: We Rest Despite The Chaos (1)

It had been three days since the second riot in Phuket, Thailand.

A lot of things happened, but to summarize it in three lines:

One. We eliminated the remnants of Pandemonium.

Two. We placed a hero colluding with the Secret Society into a key position within the Thai Hero Association.

Three. If we found the demon of Pandemonium, ‘Hyangdan,’ we just needed to kill her immediately.

Other factors were not important issues.

Laplace was dead, and now Nguyen was the top hero in Thailand.

The heroes who were aiding Laplace were so deeply involved in his corruption that a war crimes trial was necessary.

With the army under General Jeokrang wiped out, a massive division disappeared, creating a security vacuum for the country.

We needed to continue mental care for the children undergoing Marine Academy training by instructors and officials from Korea.

Not only on the Succubus Island but also among ordinary women, we needed to check if Laplace created any other dangerous elements.

The citizens were anxious due to the two riots in Phuket.

Journalists were uncovering and exposing the corruption of the murdered Prime Minister and other politicians.

‘Those are not my concerns.’

If I had to point out one chaos related to me, it would be just one.

‘Sephiroth.’

Everyone was confused about how to organize the process and results of this riot.

Amid this, the most important thing everyone agreed on was gathering information on the newly revealed organization.

-Looking for witnesses of the Sephiroth Knights!

-Who is this person called Joan of Arc?

-Who is this incredible being with ten Sephiroth Knights?

-Is he truly moving to protect humanity?

-Is it true that he came from the future and returned to the past?

-Is he a time traveler who mistakenly called himself a regressor?

The world was filled with all sorts of chaos, but I did not care at all.

Just.

“Oppa, how is it?”

“It’s paradise. When did you learn this?”

“I learned it right after I knew we were coming to Thailand.”

Gunggi and I were just enjoying our remaining vacation.

I lay naked on the massage bed, with Yun Hye-ra pressing my body and relieving my fatigue with the Thai massage she had practiced.

“Oppa, turn over.”

“You’ll do the front too?”

“Do you want me to skip it?”

“I’m completely naked right now.”

“What’s the big deal between you and me?”

“Are you planning to eat me up the moment you see me?”

“Oh my, you caught me.”

No matter how chaotic the world was, no matter what work lay ahead, we would rest.

“Hye-ra, should I apply the oil?”

“It’s my turn now. Where are you trying to escape by switching?”

“Even if you say that, you will be the one lying down during the real game.”

“Hmph. I’ve been adapting continuously for several days, so I’m okay now. I can handle it.”

Until my magic power was completely recovered, I had been ordered not to act, so our job now was to do our best to recover.

“Really? Truly?”

“Of course. You know I recover my magic power faster than you, right? You have to face me with just your physical strength, and if I use my magic, I’ll win.”

“Arrogant words. You think you can win against me? No chance.”

“Lie down. I’ll give you a proper massage.”

“Oh my, I said my turn isn’t over yet! And I can massage from above too.”

“What kind of massage are you planning to give?”

“I’ll press you hard, so stay still. Hehehe, then, I’ll apply a lot of oil….”

“What are you doingㅡㅡㅡㅡ!”

We were really relaxed, enjoying a staycation at a hotel in Thailand.

Even if someone full of magic power appeared and shouted through the window, we focused on our rest.

“Did Se-rin come? How about joining us?”

“I’m working right now.”

“We’re working too. Resting is part of the job. Hurry and finish your work and come.”

“The work isn’t done until I find the information! Wow, this is too much. I come back from work, and you guys are getting massages and everything!”

She looked like she wanted to join, but the problem was that Doul was extremely busy right now.

Doul, Hyeon Se-rin, might look like that, but she’s incredibly diligent.

“Hey, Yun Hye-ra. Can’t you mobilize your subordinates and gather some information with the Brewers?”

“I’ve done all my work as Gunggi, and my team’s work is also done. Doul’s team should take over and work hard.”

“Ugh, this is annoying! Why do I have to clean up the mess they made?”

“Because we ran out of mana.”

“That’s why the Chairman didn’t tell us to stay in Bangkok!”

“But the Chairman is very satisfied with the results, isn’t she, ‘Black Dragoon Hesed’?”

“…….”

I immediately grabbed Yun Hye-ra, who was making strange noises at me.

“Kyaak?!”

“I haven’t even officially named it yet, but you’re calling it by the name the world arbitrarily gave it. It seems you need some education.”

“But people call it Hesed. The technique name you mentioned, ‘Hesed Force,’ was recorded in audio.”

“Ugh…”

One of the Sephiroth Knights came to be known as ‘Hesed.’

-Is he one of the Sephiroth Knights? But what’s his name?

-I don’t know. He hasn’t said anything. It seems like he’s searching for something, like the meaning of life.

-Didn’t he say his name? Tsk. Let’s see… Found it! Turn up the volume on this video!

-Se…S? Clearer…Hesed Force? Hey! Bring me the Sephiroth-related documents!

Since the concepts of spirituality and angels were pre-existing, people looked up those references and put a dragon slayer into the place of Hesed.

-Great! This ‘Black Dragon Knight’ is now Hesed!

-Then what about the other guy?

-…It’s hard to confirm just by listening to the laughter. For now, place him anywhere. Unlike Hesed, he did give a specific name.

And in the other place was the Dark Charisma.

At the center, overseeing the ten Sephiroth, was Joan of Arc, a position filled by an actor hired by the chief.

All these were avatars of the Goblin.

The remaining eight positions had been somewhat outlined regarding the concept and ‘form’ they will take.

“Director Do, listen carefully. Next time, you’ll unite with me and become a Sephiroth Knight!”

First, with the executives.

Unlike the Dark Charisma, who only received magic power, Black Dragoon Hesed displayed his ability based on Gunggi’s magic property, ‘flame.’

Naturally, if he were to base it on Doul’s magic property, ‘wind,’ he would show a different form from both Dark Charisma and Hesed.

“…That’s easier said than done.”

“Find a concept somehow! Gunggi united with me and took a Sephiroth position; next time, you must unite with me and take one too!”

Hyeon Se-rin seems eager to act as a Sephiroth Knight herself.

“It’s a must! Seeing the imaginative Goblin show new techniques like that, we can’t just let it pass!”

It made sense because, for them, it’s an indirect experience that helped them understand new ways to apply their abilities easily.

“Gunggi immediately learned Hesed’s combat style and techniques, so can I expect something even better from you?”

“…Hmph.”

Yun Hye-ra lightly stretched her arms to the sides.

Soon, the flames attached to her hands became giant claws, and the blades of fire extended forward.

“Jealous, Se-rin? Look at this? I got these right after uniting with Oppa.”

“Ugh…!”

“Se-rin, why don’t you just eat the Dark Charisma? It’s good too.”

“Hey! Yun Hye-ra, you gathered magic power with us! I don’t want that! I’d rather have a silent warrior than a freak!”

“…….”

To win against a rival, she would even go to the underworld in a living body, but being labeled as a freak is disheartening.

Next time, I’d have to show a more impressive side.

“Ugh, really! If only I could find that woman Hyangdan, I could unite and act as a Sephiroth Knight too…!”

Doul’s current mission:

Pursuit.

They needed to find the demons of Pandemonium faster than anyone else in the world.

“Se-rin.”

“What?”

“Fighting Hyangdan is Goblin’s job, not the Sephiroth Knights.”

“……Why?”

And dealing with Pandemonium should be the job of the Secret Society members, not the Sephiroth Knights.

“Although the Sephiroth Knights warned Pandemonium, defeating them is the job of the heroes or our Secret Society. We can’t let the credit go to an avatar for removing the main shadow over Thailand.”

“That makes sense.”

Therefore.

“Hye-ra.”

“Yes.”

“I want to use a mana recovery cheat. Is it okay if it’s not in Thailand?”

“Do we need to stay in Thailand anymore?”

Yun Hye-ra immediately got up, and I also finished dressing.

“Call for the private jet. Let’s lie down and slowly return to Korea without using mana.”

“…And me?”

“Se-rin, you stay in Thailand and find information.”

“Wow, seriously…! Next time, call me instead of Yun Hye-ra. Got it? Promise!”

“Of course. If you find Hyangdan, I’ll match you with a very cool knight.”

There were still six demons of Pandemonium left.

“Let’s go to Ulleungdo.”

To our mana recovery spot.
