## Chapter 934 – 934. Savior Of The Academy
* * *
Crack!
Gold Lady gritted her teeth. Her subordinate, Kim Seo-jun, who arrived late at the bank with the police, swallowed hard at the sight of her angry face.
“M-Madam, I’m sorry for being late.”
“…It’s okay. I know you moved as fast as you could.”
Kim Seo-jun looked around at the corpses scattered around and sighed.
“The robbers are all dead, as expected. Are the hostages safe?”
“The guard died, but all the hostages are safe.”
“I see…”
The Dark Hero, Red Light, wasn’t called a Dark Hero for nothing. Even if he acted recklessly, the results were usually quite good, like now. And he left no trace. The public opinion of Red Light was good, and the higher-ups of the association also viewed him favorably.
Red Light was a guy who had both skill and luck. A real prodigy, as they say.
“Madam, I saw you chasing after Red Light earlier… Did you lose him?”
“I lost him. His top speed is comparable to a fighter jet. It’s hard to catch him without preparation.”
“That’s troublesome. It’s not like we can prepare right away just because we want to… Speed at the level of a fighter jet, and he can also turn invisible… It’ll be really hard to catch Red Light.”
Kim Seo-jun scratched his head.
“But we have to catch him. That bastard isn’t even a Dark Hero.”
“Did something… happen?”
“Look at this.”
Kim Seo-jun took the laptop that Gold Lady threw at him and stared intently at the screen. It was CCTV footage from inside the bank. In other words, footage of Red Light mercilessly killing the robbers.
“You’ve already secured the footage? You’re amazing, Madam. You’re so fast.”
“Enough with the nonsense. Just watch.”
“…Red Light is acting recklessly even though the robbers have hostages. It’s like he doesn’t care about the hostages at all.”
“The aftermath is the problem. The robbers gave up. They threw away their weapons and begged for their lives. But… that bastard still killed them all. He slaughtered humans who weren’t resisting. He’s not a Dark Hero, he’s a murderer.”
“…Yes. You’re right. Red Light is dangerous. According to the criminologist, Red Light is in a state where he could cross the line at any moment. And the moment he crosses that line… the worst-case scenario will happen.”
“Does the higher-up know? Tell them to raise that bastard’s crime level and bounty right away.”
“I’ve been suggesting it multiple times… but the answer is always the same. There’s a shortage of heroes compared to the increasing number of villains, monsters, and dungeons these days… so they’re trying to use Dark Heroes like Red Light.”
“Those crazy bastards. There are things you should and shouldn’t use.”
Gold Lady clicked her tongue.
Kim Seo-jun lowered his gaze slightly to check Gold Lady’s chest. Her tight suit made the outline of her breasts very clear, which was embarrassing.
“What are you looking at?”
“Ah, no. It’s not that. I saw in the video that you were attacked by Red Light, right? The black aura looked like magic… Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. It was an attack to push me away, so it didn’t hurt much. And that’s not magic.”
“It’s not?”
“It’s similar, but different.”
And an hour later, the CCTV footage was edited and released to the world. Because the bank employees who were hostages were witnesses, the CCTV footage couldn’t be hidden from the public.

Lying in bed, I checked the internet before falling asleep.
As expected, the internet was buzzing about ‘Red Light.’
[Red Light is the real hero.
It’s so satisfying to see Red Light kill those villain bastards without hesitation. I’ve been feeling disgusted by the news of villains running rampant these days, but it’s noticeable that the news about villains has decreased since Red Light appeared.
Red Light is doing great. All the trash of society that commits crimes should be killed off.
I support Red Light.
Anonymous1: Anyone who supports a murderer like the poster is also a murderer.
Anonymous2: I understand the poster. It’s true that the number of villains has decreased since Red Light appeared.
Anonymous3: I know in my head that it’s wrong, but my heart supports Red Light.
Anonymous4: Honestly, Red Light is better than most heroes.
Anonymous5: Didn’t you see the video released today? That bastard Red Light didn’t even think about saving the hostages. He would have acted even if the robbers killed the hostages.
Anonymous6: But in the end, not a single hostage died, so it’s fine. And killing the villain bastards is more important than the hostages. If you save them because of the hostages, they’ll 100% take hostages again later and cause more damage. It’s a small sacrifice for the greater good!
Anonymous7: The person above is a psycho.
Anonymous8: I will awaken as Red Light today without any side effects or conditions.]
[Red Light is a rapist bastard.
Red Light has already raped four female villains.
And he only rapes beautiful women and doesn’t kill them. What’s even funnier is that he kills ugly women without hesitation. Red Light is definitely a crazy bastard.
And did you see him touching Gold Lady’s boobs this time? I bet 100% he did it on purpose.
Anonymous1: Honestly, it was on purpose.
Anonymous2: I also want to touch Gold Lady’s boobs.
Anonymous3: I will awaken as Red Light today without any side effects or conditions.]
[I support Red Light.
Two years ago, my son was kidnapped by the villain organization, Opioid. I reported it to the police and asked the Hero Association to save my son, but nothing happened. I even went to a hero management company and requested their help. It was useless. No one actively moved.
Then, a year ago, I heard news about my son. He was sold to a Chinese villain organization, brainwashed, trained, and then died. His corpse was thrown away carelessly in a back alley. My son returned to my arms as a corpse after a year.
I don’t know if Red Light will see this post… but I really want to thank Red Light.
Thank you for eliminating Opioid. Thank you for killing that bastard, Ji Seong-oh. Thank you for killing the villain bastards. Please continue to kill the villain bastards. Victims like me are desperately praying for the villain bastards to die.
Anonymous1: The police and the Hero Association only know how to set bounties and are really incompetent. I also support Red Light.
Anonymous2: Red Light is a criminal, but… after hearing stories like this, I can’t help but support Red Light.
Anonymous3: My parents were also robbed by villains. Those bastards are currently eating well and living well in prison. Since then, my mother hasn’t been able to step outside the house… I really wish Red Light would kill those bastards too….
Anonymous4: All the villain bastards should be sentenced to death. It’s the death penalty in China and the US, but Korea is unusually lenient towards villains. Is this even a country?
Anonymous5: I wish Red Light would kill the bullies in my class too.
Anonymous6: The children who were kidnapped by Opioid this time were also rescued thanks to Red Light. If it weren’t for Red Light, there’s a high chance those children would have died. I also support Red Light.
Anonymous7: I will awaken as Red Light today without any side effects or conditions.]
The public opinion on the internet was much more favorable to Red Light than I had expected.
Even the articles from famous news outlets were mostly subtly supporting Red Light while criticizing him.
‘It’s because Red Light is scratching people’s itchy spots.’
No mercy for criminals.
All of them should be executed.
In this world, where the crime rate is already high and the existence of monsters makes it brutal, Red Light’s existence must be like a refreshing carbonated drink.
‘Come to think of it, Gold Lady’s agency is… Pista Hero Management. …Should I join too?’
I might run into Gold Lady. What kind of expression would she make when she sees me, someone from the same agency? Just imagining it makes me excited.
‘Not bad. There’s a limit to the information that Makina brings… and I might be able to get special items too.’
If things go wrong, I can just run away, contract or not. I have no intention of revealing my identity to the management.
‘…Well, it’s not good to make hasty decisions. It might become more troublesome. I should think about the management contract slowly.’
I put my smartphone down next to me and closed my eyes.
The female villains I’ve slept with so far come to mind. I want to sleep with them again. But those women are currently in prison.
‘…Wouldn’t it be okay to break into the prison and sleep with them? And sleep with the other beautiful female prisoners in the prison too… Just thinking about it makes me happy. I hope a new beautiful female villain appears tomorrow.’

After school.
I went to the training room. This time, Ryu Hana wasn’t my goal.
I sat quietly in the training room lobby and waited, and then Kim Chun-woo and Ma Jin-bae entered the training room lobby together.
I stood up from my seat.
Kim Chun-woo looked surprised to see me, and Ma Jin-bae’s face hardened. It reminded me of the past. I had threatened Ma Jin-bae that I would kill his younger brother if he messed with me.
“Yoo-jin. Were you waiting for us?”
“I was waiting for you. Are you free this weekend?”
“This weekend? Sure. What’s up?”
“Something important.”
Kim Chun-woo’s eyes became serious. He seemed to think that the important thing I was talking about was related to demons. He wasn’t wrong.
“Wait a minute. Where are you trying to take Chun-woo? Sung Yoo-jin.”
“It’s none of your business.”
“Answer me properly, Sung Yoo-jin!”
“I said it’s none of your business. And I said last time…”
“Okay, okay, that’s enough.”
Kim Chun-woo stepped between me and Ma Jin-bae.
“Jin-bae, why don’t you go to the training room first? I’ll talk to Yoo-jin for a bit and then go.”
“…Chun-woo. Sung Yoo-jin is not a good person. It’s better not to associate with him as much as possible.”
“…Yoo-jin isn’t that bad of a guy.”
“Not a bad guy… Tsk.”
Ma Jin-bae clicked his tongue, turned around, and headed to the training room. Kim Chun-woo sighed and looked back and forth between me and Ma Jin-bae.
“Yoo-jin. Did something happen between you and Jin-bae?”
“I told him that if he messed with me, I would find his younger brother and kill him.”
“…What?”
Kim Chun-woo, who was surprised, soon showed signs of anger. He clenched his fist and glared at me.
“…That’s way out of line. What were you thinking when you threatened Jin-bae?”
“Ma Jin-bae. It’s obvious that he’s a guy who doesn’t listen. I just said it clearly because it would be annoying to get involved with him.”
“Something that Jin-bae shouldn’t get involved with… I see. I understand what you mean. But still, those words were too harsh. Apologize to Jin-bae.”
“Why would I?”
“Because you were wrong. If you explain the situation properly, Jin-bae will forgive you. I’ll help you too.”
“Bullshit. There’s no need for that. Leave it alone. And follow me. Let’s talk in private.”
“Sigh… Yoo-jin. You…”
Kim Chun-woo looked at me with complicated eyes. I ignored his pathetic gaze and entered a suitable training room. Inside the training room, no one would be able to eavesdrop on our conversation.
“Kim Chun-woo. We’re going to Baengnyeong Island this weekend. I’ve already got the auction invitation, so get some clothes or masks to hide your appearance.”
“Baengnyeong Island? Auction? Why there? Explain it in more detail.”
Admitting that my explanation was lacking, I explained it to Kim Chun-woo in more detail.
“I got information that a demon has secretly infiltrated an illegal auction being held on Baengnyeong Island. Our goal is that demon.”
“A demon…”
As soon as he heard the word ‘demon,’ Kim Chun-woo’s aura changed. His fighting spirit made me tense up for no reason.
‘…He’s much stronger than before. He’s Kim Chun-woo, after all.’
But he’s still far from being able to beat me.
“I’ve said everything I need to say, so finish your preparations by the weekend. And… keep your mouth shut to Ma Jin-bae and everyone else.”
“…Okay. A demon… I’ll definitely kill it.”
Kim Chun-woo muttered passionately and left for the training room where Ma Jin-bae was.

Sung Ha-ri and Choi Jung-hwa got off the ship on Baengnyeong Island. They were there to participate in the Baengnyeong Underground Auction being held today.
Since the Baengnyeong Underground Auction was illegal, they needed to hide their identities, so they both wore masks. Sung Ha-ri wore a wolf mask, and Choi Jung-hwa wore a butterfly mask with flashy jewels.
“Why are you wearing such an uncomfortable dress?”
Sung Ha-ri pointed out Choi Jung-hwa’s attire as if she was dumbfounded. Choi Jung-hwa was wearing a navy blue dress that looked like it belonged at a party.
“The participants in the Baengnyeong Auction are all billionaires at the very least. It’s a formal business. It’s not a place where you can participate wearing a t-shirt and jeans like you. Here, I brought your dress too, so change into it.”
Choi Jung-hwa handed over a bag. Sung Ha-ri didn’t even look at it.
“I don’t need it.”
“Sigh.”
Choi Jung-hwa shook her head as if she had expected it.
