Became an Academy Villain 165

Chapter 165 – 27. White Night (3)

You will be constantly testing your will.
Maybe someday I’ll have to walk alone in the dark.
However, I want you to remember this one thing.
That I was always by your side

* * *

“It’s not really something normal people would do…”
“I, too, have used up most of my mana… I wonder if I can barely move once or twice…”

The plan worked to some extent.
A three-step process of exploring, moving, and classifying crowds.
It would have been unimaginable without the two of them.

After a hard day’s work, we sat on a quiet bench in the park to catch our breath.
The park, which should have been full of people originally, was now empty, perhaps because of the vicious social atmosphere.

“They both suffered.”
“It’s what I’m supposed to do.”
“Jihoo suffered more. But it’s amazing to see him using that phone.”
“Oh, come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve actually shown it.”

I had forgotten about Joo Ha, who was not hypnotized, because I had nothing to do with it.
I was worried that Juha would be more interested in me, but fortunately, she looked away soon, as if she was just expressing curiosity.

To be honest, there wasn’t a corner where I was stabbed.
In fact, hypnosis is not such an honorable act.
Besides, I’ve done a lot of bad things with this…

Seeing the guilt creeping up that I would not have felt before, it seems that I have come to feel responsible for my actions before I knew it.
Should I say that I have undergone a spiritual growth?
Even so, the frequency of hypnosis has decreased significantly these days…

At this point, when this incident is over, I should put my phone deep in the drawer and not take it out.
Because I don’t have to use it anymore.
Even the one remaining Total Hypnosis Ticket… Maybe it will be used to interrogate the enemy leader after defeating the demons.

“Oh, there are people passing by again!”

In the midst of continuing my short daydream, I was awakened from my thoughts by a sudden call from Alice.
Where her hand pointed, she saw a group of people moving outside the city center with a hard expression on her face.

“What are they doing? They don’t look ordinary…”

If it was obvious that the people I had just met were just running away in fear, the group I encountered this time was completely different.
First of all, the biggest difference is, there is no panic or excitement.
Even at first glance, it was clear that he was an ordinary person with specialized training or an Awakener.

“Ellis, hide. Juha, you watch here.”

I handed the Distortion Watch to Juha and I walked towards them.
I was going to ask what was going on in this crowd.
Eventually, as we approached the procession, one of them, a fairly large middle-aged man, glanced at me and said:

“Are you a student? What’s the matter?”
“I’d like to know why you’re walking around in such a group.”
“If you were an Awakener, you would have been contacted too? Right now, an emergency convocation order has been issued, so all Awoken must attend without missing out. The people behind me are also active Awoken.”

As soon as the man finished his sentence, the phone in his hand rang.
The man pointed at his cellphone with the tip of his chin as if to look at me. I bowed my head and returned to Juha who was sitting on the bench.

“Juha, I think we’re in trouble.”
“I heard it from afar… Do we really have to go too?”
“First of all, check the contents.”

When I open my phone, text messages pour in with a trembling sound.
Most of them were urgent information messages related to the current situation, and we were able to see the information we were aiming for only after deleting all unnecessary messages.

[Urgent: All students must gather inside the academy by 16:30]

A message that shows that the situation is unusual even at a glance.
And below that is a detailed explanation.

* Please do not make a mistake as it was not sent by mistake.
This is to provide the Academy with its own guidelines related to killing the demons.

Guidelines for killing demons…
Arbadelin, who did not actively intervene in the original work, even issued a convocation order because of what variables had changed.
Perhaps the biggest reason is the presence or absence of Sanya.

As can be seen from the case of Ray, the government side started to press the academy back and forth, and assuming that there is still no Sanya in the school, the government line cannot be controlled.

Then whose side is the academy on?
No, should we fight against the academy?
If their guidelines include indiscriminate killing of demons… From then on, it’s right to judge them as enemies.

And one more thing.

Should I comply with the call-up order?
What if all of this was a pre-determined script?
If you’ve already seized power from some kind of force leading the plan to kill the demons, you can’t ignore the possibility that you’ve placed some restrictions so that you have no choice but to follow their orders the moment you gather at the academy.

“For now… Let’s not go and watch. Now that the rest of us must have evacuated to some extent, let’s all gather at our house.”

How much will it be if you include the number of people involved?
Senior Seol-ah, Ha-yul, Joo-ha, Ellis, Lay, and Jeong Ye-won.
…There are many. I can’t leave even one person behind.

“I’ll contact Ha-yul and seniors, so let’s go to Lay first. Ye-won-sshi has deep thoughts, so he won’t respond easily.”
“…Should I take Xian with me too?”
“It can’t be helped. If you leave it behind, Ray will be sad.”

Those who can be saved must be saved.
I don’t want to take a person who is full of bad luck… But in the end, everything comes back, whether it’s bad luck or bad luck.

“Let’s go.”

I go to every nook and cranny a lot these days.
But for some reason, I felt that I still had to go around for a while longer.
I left my body in the grip of the shadow that grabbed my ankle and quietly closed my eyes.

* * *

Suddenly hearing a voice calling him, the demon turned around.

“Princess Evil, preparations for the sortie are coming to an end.”
“Good work.”

The devil was experiencing the joy of his life.
The operation to mass-produce and secretly drop cloakers was successful, and the work of inflating suspicions about the demons was also successful.
All that was left was the trigger to trigger the gun in his hand.

The Devil was enjoying an outrageous glory.
To the point of completely forgetting who he was before being soiled and crushed.
The group of lights that he once saw at the edge of the collapse, which seemed to be forever unreachable, were now about to be born here.

“It’s started…! The movements of the humans are unusual!”

At the words of the messenger who came running at just the right time, the devil let out a laugh that sounded like a steel plate being torn apart.
Fun. I’m so happy I can’t stand it.
Everything is being done as the Master said.

The Prime Devil, Cormpuntur, thinks.
Destiny is like a current that cannot be reversed.
You can twist the flow little by little to change the direction of the stream, but in the end it all gathers in the sea.

At first, she doubted her master’s words, but at some point, she was also tinged with her thoughts.
As if under hypnosis, each time she chewed on her master’s words, a refreshing sensation spread deep in her brain.
It was an absolute truth, an unforgettable prophecy.

“Lee Ji-hoo… Goryushin… You guys are no different than moths…”

There have always been those who struggled everywhere.
Idiots who sacrifice themselves by twisting their bodies to escape their destiny.

But this time it will be different.
Her own master, as if he had seen the future, foresaw even the unknown situation of her chi.
He had no doubts that everything was going according to plan.

“You must have been training soldiers, right?”
“Yes, after drinking the artificial essence of all of them, they were covered with a cloaker’s corpse, so their magic power is close to the limit.”

Cormpuntoor nodded his head as if satisfied.
Humans don’t even know they’re cornered.
Those who are in a hurry to stabilize society and try to hide the truth, and those who try to make a living by taking advantage of the atmosphere.
As long as there is such a lump of cancer, humans can never win.

Did he say that he planned to kill the demons?
There was no way the plan, which was forced to be pushed back by the atmosphere, could not be solid.
If so, the demons only need to dig into the weak parts and win easily.

‘Your defeat has been since the screening bill.’

Creating an atmosphere through fear never succeeds.
Rather, the moment the anger that has been suppressed is bursting, it will only bring a bigger disaster.

“The time has come. Everyone rise up.”

I see the sun that never sets in the distance.
It was the product of a coincidence born of a plan, but there would be no stage more suitable to decorate the end of human beings.

Midnight and twilight.
Countless lives perish under the thick shadows.
A huge collision was about to begin.
