I Became a Framed Villain

Episode 38 – Loop

A few minutes before Ariel meets Oh Ji-seok.

“Suck.”

– Cucaceae!!

She was slaughtering monsters with a terrifying force.

“Groo…”

“Greek!”

However, the spirit of the monsters was not so easy.

Although trauma and transfer had disappeared, the monsters who remained in the seminar room boasted considerable power.

Their strength, pulling out their tentacles and saw blades from their bodies, was not at a level that the middle and low ranking heroes who remained in the seminar room could handle it.

Monsters with a level 1 or higher risk level that can only be cleaned up with at least one top-ranking hero.

“Move.”

But even those guys just fell like fallen leaves in front of Ariel’s onslaught.

“Vicky…”

Still, there was anxiety in Ariel’s exhausted eyes.

“please……”

Her body was already at its limit.

If I overdo it even a little bit, the muscles in my whole body would rupture.

But even so, Ariel couldn’t give up.

“Please stay alive…”

It was because he had to catch him this time, whom he had missed in front of his eyes several times.

– Kwadeudeuk…!

So, Ariel began twisting the neck of the last monster with all her might.

“Come on, wait!”

Just at that moment, someone’s urgent voice is heard from behind.

“Stop it!”

A hero’s sidekick shouted with a pale face.

“That person is a hero!”

“………”

“So, this… just subdue it for now…”

before the words are over.

– Woodduck…!

The sound of bones breaking echoed through the seminar room.

“ah…..”

As Sidekick sits down, staring at the limp monster with a broken neck, Ariel glances at her coldly and whispers.

“Not anymore.”

After saying that, she throws a monster with a broken neck in front of her, and starts running forward, ignoring people’s eyes.

“No… it’s too late…”

In fact, I was in no condition to run at all.

Even so, she gritted her teeth and ran forward.

– Beep beep, beep beep!

“ah.”

But just as she arrives at the outskirts, the timer on her watch starts beeping quietly.

“………”

And at that moment, the appearance of Oh Ji-seok began to be seen from afar.

“Again.”

Ariel, who had stopped in her seat, started muttering in an incoherent voice.

“I couldn’t keep it this time either.”

Oh Ji-seok was lying weakly against the wall.

Although the limbs were not severed or terribly mutilated.

Seeing that his clothes were covered in blood, it seemed that the time limit was already over.

“How many times have I turned it back?”

A cracked voice came out of Ariel’s mouth, which stopped in her seat.

“I can’t stop your death.”

It was the death of Oh Ji-seok, who had already witnessed it several times.

No matter how quickly you escape from the room.

No matter how quickly you deal with the assassins and monsters who came to you.

No matter how many times you go back and how many times you try.

At this time, Oh Ji-seok dies unconditionally.

“Why can’t I reach you?”

After it’s already too late, it’s a yangban.

Sometimes, his body shattered right before his hand touched it, and at other times he fell down with a hole in his head the moment he grabbed it.

Even once, he died while leaving the seminar room in his arms.

I still can’t forget the smile that Oh Ji-seok showed to him at that time.

“You saved me.”

If he hadn’t saved himself early in the loop.

If only he hadn’t protected her from the enemy until he became proficient in this situation.

I couldn’t even imagine how many terrible things I must have suffered through these many loops.

“Why can’t I save you?”

So now that he has grown enough to protect himself through numerous loops, this time he wanted to save Oh Ji-seok.

The reason I couldn’t protect it was because my sister was enough.

“……..”

But it was all in vain.

He was able to get out of the crisis with his natural ability and loop, but Oh Ji-seok could not.

Oh Ji-seok, who threw away his own life to protect her, was unable to protect his own life.

Even the automatic save was twisted without an answer.

But even so, Ariel couldn’t give up.

It was she who went through countless loops and did a variety of actions that could not be counted.

Naturally, there were a lot of people in the loop who turned their backs on her.

Except for one person, Oh Ji-seok.

He never turned his back on her.

He always protected her and always encouraged her.

And, the number of people who gave their lives for her is uncountable.

Why is Oh Ji-seok being able to do that to himself?

The answers that Oh Ji-seok gave to that question in the loop were very diverse.

But it didn’t matter anyway.

Because all the answers were sincere, Ariel knew better than anyone else.

‘Let’s commit suicide.’

Ariel leaned against the wall and looked down at the dangling Oh Ji-seok, then quietly grabbed his neck and thought.

‘Before I lose my senses, I have to start over.’

It was time to keep his promise to be the best hero no matter what.

– Kuk…

So, she quietly began to press her neck.

[Auto Save Complete]

“……..uh.”

It was at that moment that the phrase that auto-save was complete came to mind.

“ah?”

In an instant, her head turned white.

Soon, Ariel’s body begins to tremble.

“Hey, that’s weird…”

Since it was updated in the room, it was an autosave that had never been updated before.

But why does it suddenly come to mind right now?

“Why is this popping up?”

Ariel’s expression, which had been muttering with a smile, slowly began to harden.

“Is it an error?”

A cold sweat was running down her forehead.

– Awesome…!

After standing in that state for a while, she closed her eyes tightly and broke her neck.

“…no way.”

As the familiar pain and discomfort rushed in and out, she quietly opened her eyes again.

“It may change now.”

However, Ariel had no choice but to freeze.

“No…”

Apparently, even though he had broken his neck and looped, for some reason, what he saw in front of him was not the view of the dormitory, but the figure of Oh Ji-seok leaning against the wall.

“…………”

She stood blankly in her seat, holding her neck again with her hand.

– Whoops!

– Woodduck!

– Wooded Deuk!!!

And started, the constant self-harm.

“I still… can I do more?”

However, no matter how much she twisted her neck, the scenery before her eyes remained the same.

“I could have saved it with just a little bit more.”

– Wooddeuk…

“Not too long ago… I finished all the strategies…”

how much time has passed like that

“Why, why now…”

Ariel started looking at Oh Ji-seok with empty eyes, dropping her hands without breaking her neck.

“…Wake up, Professor.”

to her voice.

“I’ve already been dyed with you through and through.”

The moment when deep despair and darkness began to mix.

“Now I can’t do anything without you…”

“Cool…”

Suddenly, a coughing sound began to be heard in front.

“……?”

Ariel’s eyes widened at that voice.

“There, who is it?”

Meanwhile, Oh Ji-seok’s clear voice echoes in her ear.

“professor.”

“Are you Ariel’s student?”

He, who he thought was dead, was looking at her with a dry cough.

“Student, it’s dangerous here. I don’t mind…”

Ariel was walking while looking down at Oh Ji-seok.

The moment when she heard Oh Ji-seok’s kind words, always in her ears.

“professor……….”

Putting all her doubts aside for a moment, she jumped into Oh Ji-seok’s arms.

“I’ve finally reached you…”

Then the warmth that began to spread.

“I’ll never fall again…”

“……???”

It was the first time I had been hugged in his warm arms instead of his cold body.

.

.

.

“Student? Why?”

After being held in his arms for a while, I hear the professor’s worried voice.

“Did anything bad happen?”

At the same time, a warm hand started to sweep my hair.

I lifted my head quietly as I received that hand, and slowly extended my trembling hand to his chest.

– Thump, thump…

Although the professor’s heart was weak, it was beating properly.

“Huh…”

It was then that I felt reassured.

It would have been a big deal if the professor’s body had become critically ill in a sudden auto-save situation.

“student…?”

As I sighed in relief, I heard the professor’s worried voice again.

He always did.

no matter how dangerous you are. Even when he was dying, his body didn’t care at all.

“You’re really okay, aren’t you?”

He only looked at my comfort with worried eyes.

“professor.”

I stared into the professor’s eyes, then grabbed his hand and opened my mouth.

“I like.”

“yes?”

After this hellish loop is over, that’s exactly what I wanted to convey.

“I love you, Professor.”

To him, who saved me over and over again.

“……?”

But the professor just had a bewildered expression on his face.

‘After all, you don’t remember.’

It was natural.

I remember him countless times, but he only knew Ariel Everray, who had just entered the Hero Academy.

For some reason, my heart aches.

What I reached at the end of many loops was the bewildered expression of the professor looking at me.

“I have a favor to ask, Professor.”

But, it doesn’t really matter.

“…isn’t it please?”

Because you and I were so good.

“Please marry me.”

Now, without the professor by my side, a normal life is impossible.

“…if it’s too soon, I’ll start dating first.”

Apparently, what I got at the end of the endless loop wasn’t just the professor’s bewildered expression.

“Student Ariel. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“I got a serious dependence, Professor.”

So please, fix it with your own hands.

.

.

.

.

.

– Tub, Tub…

Ariel slowly turned her head toward his face while holding Oh Ji-seok’s hand.

“…Who is it.”

At that moment, when footsteps resounded from behind, Ariel glared at the back with a hoarse voice.

“Tra… Professor Oh Ji-seok. You were here.”

Then a low voice began to be heard.

“I have been contacted by Miracle Shine.”

The Great Order was slowly approaching them.

“I’m sorry I’m late. There’s something…”

“excuse me.”

However, after staring at her as if to kill her, Ariel suddenly opened her mouth.

“Go away.”

“What?”

When the Great Order tilts her head at her words, Ariel spews a stinger and warns once more.

“Get away from the professor.”

After that, for a while, a chilly stillness began to flow around.

‘You can’t approach that woman.’

In such a terrifying atmosphere, Ariel began to recall memories of the past while glaring at the Great Order.

‘Are you trying to kill the professor by mistake again like that time?’

Worst episode when everything was a mess.

That’s the 1st loop.
