Episode 6 – First Mission

“Hey, I’m wrong, so please forgive me.”

“Die. Die.”

She tied my neck with a yo-yo, and tightened the rope awkwardly.

“Come to die, damn it.”

“Ahhh, heh heh…”

It hurt a little, but it was nothing.

Because I suffered a lot when I was young.

By the way, I think Spade was talking to someone a while ago. Was it your mood?

“…Are you a pervert?”

Anyway, since she accepts the attack with a smile, she asks that question with a frown after leaving the line.

“Maybe.”

“What?”

I was a bit surprised by the instant response.

The existence in front of me right now is Spade, the strongest villain in Dominating Hands.

Only 7 top ranked heroes were horribly killed by her.

The number of heroes killed by her so far is unmeasurable.

A terrifying guy who was even nicknamed a ‘slaughter machine’ by the media because of his brutal and heinous murder methods.

“………”

Even without such prior information, I would be overwhelmed by the terrifying smell of murder and blood emanating from the guy staring at me.

But why?

she’s not scary at all

“What’s wrong, relax your expression.”

“…under?”

I untied the yo-yo string that was binding me, smiled and put my hand on the shoulder of the spade.

“There’s nothing to be angry about seeing the same guys naked, right?”

As I patted her on the shoulder and said that, the spade looked down at me with a blank expression for a moment and then looked down at her chest.

‘…why am I doing this?’

Seeing that, I smiled bitterly, then came to my senses and slapped my hand on her shoulder and muttered to myself.

‘Have you gone through so much that you’ve lost your mind?’

That’s weird.

It’s clear that the life that is emanating from her is making my neck numb.

Why do you keep wanting to play pranks on this guy?

“there.”

“……..”

After contemplating for a long time, I cautiously spoke to Spade, who was staring blankly at his chest.

“Have we ever met?”

“What?”

Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at me.

“You’re too familiar.”

“what…”

“Are you from an orphanage?”

I poked her carefully, but she only made a face that she didn’t understand the English language.

“No. It’s nice to meet you anyway.”

– Ugh…

“Let’s be friends with the same guys.”

I quietly licked my lips and asked her to shake my hand, and I smiled at the spade, who suddenly grabbed my hand, and said so.

– Bang…!!!

“…awesome!?”

The next moment, I was strangled to the wall of the training room and strangled by her.

“Are you in moderation?”

“Keheuk… Ugh…”

“I don’t mean to offend you with your jokes.”

You might die from this.

Do you want me to beg you to live now?

Those thoughts ran through my mind.

But the words that came out of my mouth were completely different.

“I don’t know what you have to do with Dice, but I…”

“Get down.”

And the static started.

“Because I’m in danger of dying, I can’t see anything…”

Spade, who was looking at me with a dumbfounded expression, soon starts to add strength to the hand that was choking me with a snort.

“…uh?”

It was at that moment that something unexpected happened to her.

“Ugh?”

After staggering for a moment, she suddenly sat down and knelt down.

Before long, her neatly folded hands touch the floor.

“What, what. What have you done to me…”

Just like that, she fell completely to the floor.

“It’s strange.”

I looked down at the spade with blinking eyes, then scratched my head and asked a question.

“Why are you hypnotized already?”

“…What?”

For some reason, she had already been trained by me.

“What are you talking about…?”

“Well.”

I’m not sure what the hell it is.

Did she and I ever meet?

Could it be related to the unknown familiarity I felt earlier?

However, no matter how much I looked back, I couldn’t think of anything, so I shook my head and decided to focus on the situation in front of me.

“First, let’s start with a hundred push-ups.”

“…!”

It was time to avenge the strangulation just now.

“You… will kill…”

“Two hundred more.”

“Fuck… you bastard…”

“Add a hundred more squats.”

“……..”

.

.

.

.

.

“Stop it… fuck it…”

“Well.”

“I won’t kill you… please stop…”

“Mmm.”

After that, the fight between me and Spade continued for a long time.

“…..yo. this.”

“Okay. Get some rest now.”

“Ouch.”

Finally, after a few hours, I was able to knock the spade to the ground with the spade completely subdued.

“That’s nice, Mr. Spade.”

“Ugh…”

The spade, which was wet with sweat, exhausted, and out of breath, flinched for a moment when I touched it, and then began to sharpen its teeth.

“Worst… it’s true.”

For a moment, I felt like I was sober.

‘Why am I using honorifics? No, what am I doing right now in the first place?’

Using hypnosis to manipulate others at will was an act that I vowed to never do as a hero.

But, what the hell am I doing right now?

It’s like a villain, not a hero…

‘But I’m a villain, right?’

But thinking about it, I was the villain.

So what’s the need to act like a hero?

In retrospect, wasn’t the act you just did a pretty good act as a villain?

‘…Am I right?’

Even if I think about it in my head, the reason I feel a little reluctant is because there is still a slight sense of rejection.

It’s only natural that it’s only been a few days since he switched from a hero to a villain.

Well, from now on, even that rejection must be thrown away.

He kept his beliefs and had no intention of missing out on an opportunity to avenge Justia by acting frustrated.

“Today’s business is a secret between the two of us.”

“…Ugh.”

“You know what?”

After quietly thinking, I gently grabbed the chin of Spade, who was still lying down, and whispered in a low voice.

“It feels good to be a slave in the top rank.”

“Si…foot…”

“By the way, slaves are kind of like… We’re just friends. How about it?”

So, I was able to make a second friend after becoming a villain.

“I’ll have a drink later. Can you buy that much for the newbie?”

“Turn it off… you bastard…”

“Yes? What?”

“…Goodbye.”

friend right?

.

.

.

.

.

‘Well, that’s a little strange.’

As I got out of Spade’s training room and headed to the lobby where Dice was, I suddenly frowned and started to think.

‘Why was it hypnotic?’

My ‘hypnotic’ ability doesn’t work for someone I don’t know at all. To be effective, you must either know a little about the person or allow the person to hypnotize you.

However, Spade is the only person with no information in ‘Dominating Hands’.

It was she who escaped from the investigation of the International Heroes’ Union, from the investigation of the Secret Intelligence Agency, even from the pursuit of a capable person with the concept of ‘Investigation’.

Even with the ‘Spotting’ skill, which has recently risen one more level, she couldn’t find out her information.

But, how could I control her with hypnosis?

Had she really been trained by me in the past without my knowledge?

If that’s not the case…

‘…is this a villain?’

The only possible reasoning was ‘villainization’.

A kind of growing pain that all villains go through when they fall.

In fact, it is a story that is so unreliable that it is treated as a ghost story in the mainstream academic world that a person who experiences changes in their abilities or personality.

I’ve seen it clearly

When the ‘Villain’s Way’ system is awakened, the penalty phrase that the villainization proceeds.

‘Come to think of it, earlier, I used honorifics for a while without realizing it.’

I’m not good at using polite words.

I use it for adults, but I haven’t used it much with my peers.

But since we were dealing with spades, at some point, respectful words came out very naturally.

Is that also the effect of ‘villaining’?

‘…well, it doesn’t matter.’

Well, it doesn’t matter what happens now.

Thanks to the concept of ‘hypnosis’ I had in the first place, my mind won’t be shifted or broken by becoming a villain.

If the additional effect was helpful for revenge, it was rather a welcome on my part.

“Hey, Dice. I came here to say hello to everyone.”

Arriving in the lobby with my thoughts in mind, I spoke to Dice, who was still sitting on the sofa in the lobby.

“Hey, sky.”

“yes?”

However, the expression on her face looking at me is unusual.

“Have you, by any chance, also remembered?”

“……?”

Do you remember? What are you talking about?

“Doesn’t anything come to mind when you see me? Anything?”

“Um… well. Mysterious? That much?”

I was a little worried about how to answer, but I replied while scratching my head.

“…No, nothing.”

Hearing those words, she smiled and shook her head, muttering like that.

“Could you say something respectful to me?”

Then, suddenly, Dice made such a request.

“…Like this?”

“Poop.”

There was nothing she couldn’t do, so when she said that with an awkward expression, she smiled and smiled.

“No, that’s it.”

“I can do it if you want.”

It was fleeting, but I could clearly read it.

“Just do what you’re comfortable with.”

After saying that, she looked at me and smiled, her nostalgic eyes.

“Well, then without hesitation.”

I was embarrassed to say honorifics, so I replied that it was good and sat down on the sofa she pointed to.

‘…Are they aware of what happened in the training room?’

Breaking out in a bit of a cold sweat, I decided to crave the spade a bit more next time.

“Okay then, let’s get down to business.”

“…Is it about the first mission?”

“Right. The date is tomorrow. It will probably be your debut match.”

With that awkward smile on his face, Dice, who had completely returned to his usual poker face, snapped his fingers and looked behind me.

“Ah, but before we start talking… I have someone to introduce.”

“Who should I introduce…?”

I inadvertently turned my head to follow her gaze.

– Again, again…

“uh?”

At that moment, I opened my eyes wide when I noticed someone starting to come upstairs from downstairs.

“Hiya, it’s been a while since I’ve been to the executive level.”

“Yeah, why are you… here?”

It was because a person I was so familiar with, whom I thought I would never meet here, was approaching me.

“Tada! Are you surprised?”

The current vice president of the academy, and the new black agent of the Hero Union.

“Anyway, you got ahead, oppa? You became an executive in one day.”

“Are you Kim?”

At the same time, Kim Ira, who was my sidekick, was waving with a happy expression in a white coat.

“Even if I look at it like this, I’m quite high? I’m in charge of the ‘Jack’ of Dominating Hands, who oversees infiltration operations and development of support tools.”

“…’Self-proclaimed’, Jack.”

“Chit.”

It felt like being hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

she’s the villain

Was that also part of the Dominating Hands?

Since when have you been cheating on me?

“Huh? What’s wrong? A hug of emotion? That’s nice too, but I’m busy with work right now, so I’m sorry…”

I stopped thinking for a moment and stared at her, then quietly got up from my seat and walked in front of him.

“Ah, ow! A yaya yaya! What’s wrong!”

“…….”

He grabbed her ear and began twisting it as hard as he could.

“How worried I was.”

“Ah! Ah!”

“Do you do anything dangerous like that?”

“Ahh! It hurts! It hurts!!”

She was the one who always treated her like a younger sister.

I was so worried that she hadn’t gone wrong, and what the future would be like.

Hitting people in the back like this

“When did you become a villain?”

“…Oh, when my brother was sentenced to death. He was scouted.”

“Then, did you infiltrate under orders?”

“No… that was my own act. Hehe.”

Having said that, she scratched her head and wandered.

“Well.”

There was no sign of lies. Apparently, I didn’t deceive Justia and me.

“…thank you, I was trying to take responsibility.”

“Huh? What?”

Thanks to this, I felt a little relieved, sighed, let go of his ear, and muttered like that.

“Responsibility? What…”

“Hey, I’m sorry, but we have to start briefing soon.”

I was contemplating whether to put a honey chestnut on Ira’s forehead as she opened her eyes wide and digs into it, but for some reason, Dice’s slightly sharp voice pierced through.

“Ah, really. I’m busy too, so let’s get down to business quickly.”

“…okay.”

The briefing of the first mission that started in earnest like that.

“The content of the mission is simple.”

When Dice flicks his fingers lightly, the huge monitor hanging in the lobby starts to project the image of a place.

“That’s…”

It was a very familiar place to me as well.

“International Hero Academy?”

“Among the aspiring heroes from all over the world, it’s a place where only the best students gather.”

The place where I first built a relationship with Justia, where I stayed for three years and served as vice president.

How could I forget that place.

“We have only one purpose.”

As he gazes at the scenery of the academy, immersed in memories, Dice declares in a low voice with his eyes shining.

“I’m going to break into the freshman entrance ceremony scheduled for tomorrow and kidnap a student.”

“…Well.”

Hearing those words, my mind went blank for a moment.

No matter how ‘dominating hands’, is that possible?

“I know that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranked heroes will all attend on that day.”

“Why do you think you can’t?”

“…if it’s black, I’ll have to.”

He hesitated for a moment, but then he nodded and understood.

This wasn’t a social gathering for people with special abilities, it was a league of villains.

“The staff will be taken care of by the officers. Your mission is to disguise yourself as the academy’s first year homeroom teacher and kidnap the target.”

“I?”

“Because among us, the one with the best ability to kidnap is none other than you.”

There was nothing wrong with that.

However, there were still a few questions left to follow.

“Everything is fine, but how can I infiltrate with my face sold? I can’t even cover it with a mask or something.”

“So, I brought the ‘self-proclaimed’ Jack.”

In response to my question, Dyce points to Ira, who is lounging on the couch.

“I’ll disguise you like crazy!”

“…Wait, you? How? You can only use your transformation ability on yourself, right?”

“Because my brother is also very naive from time to time.”

After saying that, she whispered with a mischievous expression on her face.

“Hiding or deceiving one’s exact abilities is a basic skill for heroes and villains.”

“You… you could transform someone else.”

“Unlike transforming me, there is a time limit!”

At that time, I was convinced of the operation to some extent, and I turned my gaze to Dice again.

“So who am I disguised as?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

Then, Dice quietly beckons to the black masked henchmen who were waiting in the distance.

“Eup, Eup! Eup…!!!”

Moments later, a man with a gag in his mouth is arrested and dragged into the lobby.

“Ugh!! Eup! Ugh…”

– Kwajik…!!!

After staring at the man for a while, Dice shot a card with a light gesture.

“……..”

“The new professor who was supposed to be in charge of the first class, just died.”

Dice, who looked at the man who had died because his neck was pierced by a card, without an expression, gestured to his servants to get rid of it, and continued the story.

“Mum mum…”

“…………”

I glanced at Ira next to me, but she was just waving her legs and eating potato chips.

Looking at it, I thought it was a sight that happened often.

“Originally, I was going to disguise this guy’s face, but as you can see, it’s too ugly. I don’t think I’ll win the trust of the target.”

“……..”

“That’s why I created a fake identity. A temporary professor who will temporarily take care of the students in place of the missing new professor.”

Thinking that I should gradually adapt, I listened to Dice again.

“Voila.”

“what?”

Looking at the fake ID that floated on the monitor, I frowned slightly.

“That’s it…”

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s a face that’s made you look 10 years older than you are now and slightly corrected unnatural parts.”

“…It’s nice that I’m not becoming a completely different person, but isn’t there a risk of being found out?”

Upon hearing that, Kim Ra opened her mouth with a slightly downcast expression.

“Actually, turning someone else into someone else has the side effect of making the time limit too short.”

“…okay?”

“A face modified based on the subject’s face takes a little longer.

I quietly nodded my head at her explanation, which was quite understandable, and after a moment’s silence, I asked Dice the last question.

“So, what will I gain from completing this mission?”

Then, she quietly tilted her head to the side.

“I’m here to get revenge on Justia and all the people who got me to this point.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Once I belong to this place, I will obey orders, but… shouldn’t there be a benefit from that?”

When I finished explaining, she, who had been flicking the bloody card she had called in, opened her mouth with her eyes fixed on me.

“Didn’t we tell you about our target?”

“…no way.”

“Lumia Obse. Child of Prophecy. He is our target.”

Hearing that name, I felt a fire burning in my chest.

“And it’s a fact I’ve recently discovered. The rapport between him and the academy is a very deep bond.”

“…………”

“There’s also evidence that you’ve been instrumental in manipulating records from your academy days.”

She handed me one file.

“Even in the case of Justia’s expulsion, the vice principal’s breath was touched.”

I wanted to ask how you got this information.

“In the midst of chaos, I don’t think anyone would say anything even if I told them to leave for a while and look after me.”

But now there was more important work to be done than that.

“That’s enough.”

“Yeah, it’s a win-win.”

“In the future, the reward will be this kind of information… Um?”

So, while I gave up on asking for help and asked for cooperation, I suddenly fixed my eyes on the corpse that was being moved far away.

“what’s the matter?”

“……..”

I think I just saw something wriggling in that corpse.

‘…Is it because of my mood?’

I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but I couldn’t see anything.

It seems that fatigue still remains in the body.

“Why, did you see a ghost?”

“No, nothing.”

I got up, thinking I should go back to my room and close my eyes for tomorrow.

“Then, please.”

“It’s me.”

Please, it would be nice if there were no variables.

.

.

.

.

.

“…no way.”

The next morning, the International Academy.

“Nonsense.”

I was successful in infiltrating the academy, but I had no choice but to close my eyes.

“Ah, ah, hello!”

‘You, why the hell…’

A character all too familiar to me

That’s why he found a girl he never expected to meet here.

“Nice to meet you, Professor!”

‘I’m going to enroll in the Hero Academy…’

My reverse, Justia.

Her younger brother was greeting me with a look and voice that I missed so much.
