Chapter 7 – Episode 7. I Feel Resentful.
Episode 7. I feel resentful.
That shameless guy should have been caught right away.
This guy will become even more arrogant after this incident.
What, do you abandon the recoveries?
It’s you who are the bastards, not those who have been regenerated.
Smile Face, are you acting like an anti-hero with poor nickname sense?
Immediately after losing the guy, Hye-ri Jang returned to the academy, and the rest of the magical girls dispersed.
I was in no mood to study the rest, but B.H did not allow groundless pursuit.
“…”
Magical Scarlet, Hye-ri Jang, graduated from the academy and university, and was attending an academy to prepare for university entrance as she was aiming to work at B.H. Base or a department under UNAA.
Of course, her real identity is a magical girl.
Therefore, even if she graduates from college normally, she will not end up working in a relevant department as a low-level employee, just like everyone else.
Therefore, her advancement is just a facade, and even if she doesn’t get into college, she will still be selected through special recruitment.
However, Jang Hye-ri did not want to be promoted to a position higher than her abilities due to someone’s support.
Although she was tired of living as a high school girl while fighting Paramas as a magical girl, Jang Hye-ri fiercely pursued her studies and major.
In fact, it was partly because she had no needs or desires in her life other than studying and fighting.
Considering that studying is ultimately just a process to officially join B.H. Or belong to UNAA, her goal is only to defeat Paramas.
Like everyone else, she never thought about having a boyfriend, and she never even looked at other jobs.
Magical girls are under the control of UNAA, but their actual guardian, Kang Ga-hyeon, was worried.
‘You are my sore finger.’
She’s a magical girl with no hobbies or personal life other than punishing an evil alien empire.
Usually, she said, these people will definitely come to a point of decline, despair, or crisis along the way.
‘… I won’t tell you to enjoy your youth by dating. Because it is absurd for a magical girl to be in a relationship. However, it’s okay to have at least her hobbies. ‘It’s so devastating to think about Paramas every day.’
Hye-ri Jang nodded her head at her doctor’s concern, but she actually had no doubts about her own life.
Her happiness is expelling Paramas from Earth forever and returning the poor brainwashed people to society.
If we were to be a little more ambitious, it would be to completely eliminate the discriminatory view toward brainwashers.
Sometimes she felt like it was a compulsion.
Compared to that, Juyena and Mayuri were sound.
Joo Yena wants to major in art, and Mayuri wants to follow in her father’s footsteps and run a gym, so they have a good life outside of being a magical girl.
Of course she can go to B.H.
The academy is operated by B.H., And you are not necessarily required to get a job at the institution.
According to one conspiracy theory, she even contacts a few talented people directly from the agency, but Jang Hye-ri, who is not a full-time employee, does not know this background.
“Am I okay?”
Even aside from the fact that she was the second to awaken among the magical girls, Ga-Hyeon Kang would have chosen her as her leader because of her strong sense of purpose and sense of justice.
No matter what anyone said, Jang Hye-ri was happy.
She was happy, she kept telling herself.
“…”
The academy classes were coming to an end.
Jang Hye-ri waited a little bit on purpose.
As soon as class was over, she went in to pack her bag.
“Guys, you did well today, and be sure to do your homework.”
“Yes-“
You had homework.
Jang Hye-ri thought as she opened the door and entered.
While it was true that she based her identity on being a magical girl, she was not completely indifferent to her reputation surrounding herself as an academy student.
For example, even though it’s for the sake of being a magical girl, I hate getting scolded for missing homework.
“Huh? Ah, Hye-ri, for some reason I couldn’t see you.”
“I’m sorry, something happened.”
“What is there to be sorry about? I’ll tell you. The homework is-“
The kind female teacher did not inquire about her absence, but simply recited the scope of her math homework.
Hye-ri Jang had no choice, but there were many times when she had to leave her position suddenly at the academy.
Officially, Jang Hye-ri’s identity is a secret from the public.
Naturally, an explanation became necessary.
To her friends, Jang Hye-ri is preparing for her celebrity career, so she often makes excuses that she has to be away due to her own circumstances, but she manages to get away with it.
Perhaps her beauty or her un-student-like aura seemed to lend persuasiveness to that absurd lie.
Jang Hye-ri did not necessarily create a relationship.
She knew that being close to someone meant opening up about her personal life, but since she didn’t have a life outside of being a magical girl, she had nothing worth sharing.
The deeper the relationship, the more gaps appear.
‘Are you going to become a singer? Or an actor?’
Unlike her students, who were able to get away with it, naturally, that explanation didn’t work for her teachers.
However, they never once asked Jang Hye-ri for an explanation.
Why?
She probably made up an excuse or went through administrative procedures somehow because Ganga Hyeon was involved.
In reality, the magical girl is not a celebrity, but in her role, she is similar to the celebrities belonging to B.H.
For example, she is managed by several employees under Kang Ga-hyeon, and she feels like a manager.
Although the academy was designated by B.H., In particular, the academy where Jang Hye-ri, Joo Yena, and Mayuri were enrolled was supported by B.H. Behind the scenes.
Since the foundation is run with their own funds, it is naturally possible to roast as many teachers as possible.
In this connivance, Jang Hye-ri was simultaneously performing the role of a magical girl and her excellent high school girl.
Unless there is someone who is curious about Jang Hye-ri’s private life, there is no problem at her administrative level.
Hye-ri Jang, who was about to return to her home, overheard the heated argument between her students who were organizing her desk.
“… Did I hear wrong just now?”
Hye-ri Jang has an angry temper.
Contrary to her seemingly cold face, her shortcoming is that she cannot tolerate injustice when she sees it.
The same goes for her friends’ conversations.
Knowing that, Kang Ga-hyeon also warned her, and she thought she had been holding back well so far, but perhaps because it had just happened, she couldn’t hold back this time and threw it out.
I joined in the conversation of students from other schools with whom I was not very close and whose classes overlapped with each other.
“…Hye-ri?”
Students with embarrassed expressions.
What were their names?
“… Smile Face, you mean the… Villain that was on the news earlier? “What about that person?”
“Well, I don’t think he’s really a villain.”
In response to Jang Hye-ri’s unexpected participation in the war, her female counterpart looked half wary and half embarrassed.
“If Smile Face is the one who killed the recoveries so far… Then he is an anti-hero. No, it could also be called a dark knight or dark knight. Because the people this person targets are all different people on the outside and the inside. I’ve been watching Smile Face for quite some time. Of course, I never referred to my nickname as that at the time.”
Her female student clearly and clearly expressed her opinion.
“Okay? Are you sure? “Is there any evidence?”
We have to stop here.
But I couldn’t stop.
Hyeri Jang’s own work is being directly contradicted.
Plus what she just failed to do.
To a civilian subject who knows nothing.
She wanted to get on her nerves, to the point where she started thinking harsh thoughts that a magical girl shouldn’t have.
They will say, without any basis at all, that all recoveries are dedicated to evil and should be punished.
But in fact, the reason Jang Hye-ri bothered to get involved in the argument was because of her female student’s seemingly logical words.
Song Bo-yoon.
She was a child with such presence that even Jang Hye-ri, who was not interested in anything other than magical girl work, remembered her name.
Even though her eyes were a little saggy, she managed to be quite attractive, and aside from her background as a rich girl recognized in the business world, she was her rival even just based on her grades.
To get into UNAA, you have to be at least in the top 1%, so you can’t help but be conscious of it.
She was told that, apart from sports, she was talented in many fields and had even swept several competitions.
Even cooking and hacking.
She was the so-called ‘genius girl.’
I can’t believe a woman like that would protect her smiling face.
Why a child with that level of intelligence?
I thought the extremists who sympathized with the villains or punished the restorers were idiots?
She even used her superior intelligence and speaking skills to shatter her students who tried to put her in neutral gear.
She shouldn’t have used Jisung like that.
Jang Hye-ri took advantage of the fact that she was taller than Song Bo-yoon and puffed out her chest to look down at her.
There was a strong sense of resistance.
Although she was overwhelmingly confident in her athletic skills, Song Bo-yoon was truly versatile, and even just considering her grades, she was an overwhelming first place compared to Jang Hye-ri, who was ranked in the top 10 in the entire school.
My pride is hurt.
Hyeri Jang has maintained a top 10 performance throughout her Magical Girl activities, so she has an excuse, though.
“…”
If it were anyone else, I would have thought it was a waste of energy and ignored her, but it’s me, Song Bo-yoon, and it bothers me.
According to her logic, Smiley Face was just evil, and not really a villain.
What was presented as evidence was a conspiracy theory YouTuber.
Hyeri Jang was disappointed.
Are you basing the words of a YouTuber who spreads conspiracy theories even if it means fabricating provocative content?
She was so embarrassed that she implicitly thought of him as her rival (at least when it came to her studies).
However, when Jang Hye-ri tried to avoid her argument by mocking that point, Song Bo-yoon got angry.
She wasn’t that scary, but Jang Hye-ri was surprised because she had never seen her raise her voice before.
Just as Smile Face became an annoyance to Jang Hye-ri, the criticism of YouTubers upset Song Bo-yoon.
Hyeri Jang took a step back.
It’s not right to argue about things like this.
Hyeri, you are a magical girl.
Let’s stop here.
However, Song Bo-yoon became even more enraged because he thought that her attitude of trying to withdraw was making fun of him.
“Why don’t you tell me after you see it? Everything this YouTuber said has sources. Without exception. Look for it and then tell me. It’s on a different level from other Rekka YouTubers or manipulative YouTubers. This guy is real! And Smile Face is a hero too! “Without even knowing!”
Jang Hye-ri, who unconsciously saw Song Bo-yoon’s phone being pushed towards her with great force, realized that the ‘Scarlet Fox’ channel was a channel that she had been introduced to by other students a few hours ago.
In other words, the channel was having a significant influence not only on academy students but also on the younger generation.
Finally she became curious.
At first glance, Scarlet Fox has been highlighting a villain named Smileface for at least a month.
Is there perhaps some kind of connection?
How did Smile Face know when he started murdering brainwashers in earnest?
Scarlet Fox was the discoverer of Smile Face.
When she got to this point, Hye-ri Jang decided that a serious investigation was needed, even from a magical girl’s perspective.
Perhaps we could go into the base and raise issues such as investigation or search and seizure.
Goggle is a multinational company, but in cases like this, pressure or control may be possible at the government level.
The answer is to block and isolate people who spread evil and absurd opinions.
There was an underlying feeling of regret that she couldn’t catch the arrogant smiley face in a subtle way, but she repeated that it wasn’t such a childish way to vent her anger.
Only I know your weaknesses.
Smile Face used an ability that looked like instantaneous movement, but in reality, it was nothing more than invisibility, and Jang Hye-ri perfectly saw the shallowness of the move.
“… I will definitely cleanse that dull face.”
Hye-ri Jang made a decision while looking at the starry night sky.
The reason she bothered to say that out loud was because of the anxiety factor that could not be erased even though she had seen through her abilities.
‘The Star’s Oath.’
How on earth did that man know information about the Star Oath that only magical girls know?
Is he also a member of Paramas’s group?
So who attacked him?
… If you think about it, even Paramas does not know the real names and actual identities of magical girls.
However, Smile Face knew.
The names of Jang Hye-ri, Joo Yena, and Mayuri.
He was a very mysterious man.
