The Villain Professor of Heroes

83 – A lot of things that bother me (2)

My sudden action drew everyone’s attention to me.

“professor…!”

Professor Jin Se-young grabbed my collar and looked up anxiously.

“Why are you like that? Where are you uncomfortable?”

“No, no. No.”

I smiled awkwardly and sat down slowly, and people quickly turned their attention away from me to the screen.

It seems that he thought it was a trivial disturbance caused by a weak professor who was surprised by a strange phenomenon he had never seen before.

But I’m not the first to see that.

That’s definitely what it was then.

The toxic cloud that drove senior Han Tae-woo and Ji-ah Seo to their deaths.

No matter how much I thought about it, nothing else came to mind.

An unpleasant dark green cloud that gives off a strong sense of danger just by looking at it.

A sticky, slow-moving form as if it were alive with mass.

Where in the world is there anything similar to that?

The mental barrier, which had been shaking like crazy, was slowly stabilizing.

So I was able to find time to take out a handkerchief with trembling hands and wipe the cold sweat from my forehead.

This handkerchief was handed to me when I was coughing when I first met Han Min-ha.

Now I see I haven’t returned this yet.

I need to wash it again and return it. But that’s not the problem.

“professor.”

“It’s okay. I’m really okay now. I’m just surprised because it’s so shocking.”

Gently pushing Professor Jin’s hand that was holding my shoulder, I turned my gaze to the screen.

The place where it was taken was a rugged mountain range covered with snow.

According to the researcher, it is an area on the Tibetan Plateau where fierce border disputes are fought between India, China and Pakistan.

Yes, that is the place I went to with my seniors.

It was a long time ago, is that still there?

And an unknown villain?

Surely that is not some kind of biochemical weapon or an inexplicable natural phenomenon, but the ability of the villain… ?

Finally, impatient, I raised my hand.

“I’m sorry, but is there any evidence that that’s a villain’s ability?”

Originally, Q&A and discussion were the last order, so people looked at me with a puzzled expression again.

I know this is very rude, but I just couldn’t bear not to ask.

It’s nothing else, it’s a matter related to the deaths of senior Han Tae-woo and Ji-ah Seo.

And death caused by my failure to deploy my defenses in time.

“Even so, in the next scene, the basis for that judgment will appear, Professor.”

The video continued to play, and there I was able to discover what the researcher said was the basis.

A silhouette of a person could be seen between the green clouds.

Upon seeing it, I was immediately convinced that it was the villain’s ability.

That cloud is deadly to the body just by inhaling it, and it is a very strong acid that even corroded the senior couple’s body cam.

Standing unharmed in the middle of such a cloud is something that cannot be explained unless you are the person who uses that ability.

Yes, that’s right. That’s what a villain does.

The hero of the body cam tried to get closer to it, but soon began to cough violently, and the video ended as he withdrew without being able to get closer.

A toxic gas you’ve never seen before, and an unknown villain.

According to the researcher, it is speculated that the villain may have been hired for the purpose of terrorism among the countries causing the conflict.

I raised my hand again and asked a question.

“Is this your first observation?”

“Yes, it is. It was discovered by a hero scouting the area.”

‘Officially’ is the first observation.

If that’s the case, it means that he hasn’t appeared once since the time when me and my senior couple were beaten up.

What the hell is that villain, so he lives in such a rugged rocky mountain range?

Is it really a villain hired by a country in a conflict zone?

But if it’s something like that, the Administration Bureau can track it down enough.

By the end of the meeting, I hadn’t heard anything about the villain.

The person who destroyed our team and killed the senior couple.

The one who trapped me in a mental barrier and made me think of myself as a possessor for years.

That guy is over there.

“Professor… are you angry?”

Professor Jin has already asked a question that I don’t know how many times.

“No. I’m not angry. I’m fine. Don’t worry, I’m just a little tired.”

“Ah yes.”

“I’m sorry. I kept bothering you.”

“Eh? No, no! I’m sorry. I’m sorry for bothering you again and again…”

Professor Jin’s voice creeped in.

Professor Jin is always cheerful and active, but when I’m not in a good mood, he seems to be intimidated as well.

I’m sorry Professor Jin, but right now I’m barely controlling my emotions with a mental barrier.

If it wasn’t for the mental barrier, he would have kicked out of the academy right away and flew to the scene to take revenge.

However, I couldn’t just go ahead and go blindly and suffer like the last time.

For now, it’s not too late to move after finishing what I have to do and obtaining information about that villain from Secreto and the Management Bureau.

If you’ve been there for the past few years, you won’t be moving anywhere easily in the future.

It’s not good to be in a hurry Let’s keep calm.

But still… It’s a bit difficult.

“Hey, Tang!”

Upon returning to the dormitory after physical training, Yoo Hee-won called Han Min-ha and stopped him.

“Professor, aren’t you answering your phone?”

“Ugh. It’s strange. You don’t even look at text messages. I’ve never been like this before.”

“So. You’re a man who replies like a knife. Where are you and what are you doing?”

“Well. I’m worried… what happened?”

“Hmm. Really, this human has a knack for annoying people sometimes.”

Yoo Hee-won crossed her arms and frowned, and Han Min-ha opened her phone and texted a message to the professor on the messenger.

“Gyo, Sue. If you see this, please contact me?”

“It’s not like this, let’s go to the lab.”

Han Min-ha hesitated at Yoo Hee-won’s words.

“Isn’t it possible for students to enter the research building?”

“Eh? What does that matter? You can’t just say you’re here to meet your homeroom professor!”

“I see… But it’s a bit difficult to get a penalty point…”

“Do you have any penalty points?”

“No, nothing like that.”

“Then come quickly!”

Yoo Hee-won grabbed Han Min-ha’s wrist and dragged her.

Song Do-yoon just stared blankly at the two team members.

“Hey, Chung. Are you not following me?”

‘Chung’ is a nickname Yoo Hee-won calls Song Do-yoon recently, and it is an abbreviation of ‘Bobim-chung’.

“Well. I…”

Yoo Hee-won shot at her slightly hesitantly.

“What is it? Aren’t you a faculty advisor?”

If it had been before the practice, I wouldn’t have paid any attention to whether the professor had collapsed holding his heart somewhere, but now it’s different.

This is because there was a slight change in Song Do-yoon’s gaze at Gyo-hyeon after being rescued from Goshawk.

Song Do-yoon doesn’t know exactly what that is.

However, it is certain that it is similar to the feelings I felt when I first saw Yoo Hee-won at the beginning of the semester and when I was held in the arms of Han Min-ha during the interpersonal combat ability test.

So Doyoon Song was confused.

He clearly likes women, and that is a fact that has never changed since he first confirmed his identity when he was young.

But why…

“What are you doing? Aren’t you coming soon?”

“yea, I got it.”

In this way, the three students hid behind a flower bed, inspected the surroundings, and infiltrated the research building.

The students rushed through the hallways and soon arrived in front of Professor Hyun’s lab.

“professor!”

Yoo Hee-won slammed the door in a high-pitched voice, but there was no answer.

“I don’t think you’re inside?”

Han Min-ha put her finger on the location status board attached to the door.

The needle on the circular plate was pointing to ‘exit room’.

“No, really, this crazy professor?! It’s not even time for work, where the hell did he go?! He’s living off of my tuition, so can he be negligent like this?!”

“Hey! Joe, be quiet! There are other professors here too!”

Han Min-ha was frightened and covered Yoo Hee-won’s mouth.

“What are you guys doing there?”

At that time, the door to the lab on the other side of the corridor opened and Professor Yoo Hyun-joo stuck his head out.

“Ah, sorry, professor… that’s why…”

“Professor! Do you know where the professor went?”

Yoo Hee-won asked brightly, pushing Han Min-ha, who was flustered, to the side.

“Professor? Well? Not in the lab?”

“No?”

“Hmm. You seem to be in a bit of a bad mood today. Why don’t you give me a call?”

“I’m not answering calls, I’m not reading texts, I’m completely submerged!”

“Really? You’re going to leave early and sleep at the inn…”

“A lodging?”

At those words, Yoo Hee-won grabbed Han Min-ha and Song Do-yoon’s wrists and pulled them.

“Let’s go, kids!”

“hehehe! Thank you, Professor Yu…!”

“Yes. Goodbye.”

Upon arriving in front of the faculty quarters, Golden Viper and Grizzly Mold faced a problem.

“How many rooms is the professor’s residence?”

“That’s me, I don’t know.”

“Hey, Chung. Do you know?”

“do not know.”

Yoo Hee-won, who looked up at the dorm while touching her chin for a while, came up with a good idea and immediately put it into action.

“Mom! Heewon! No! Don’t do that!”

Seeing Yoo Hee-won soar after activating her aura, Han Min-ha struggled with both arms.

Either that or not, Yu Hee-Won ascended and looked through the windows one by one, looking for Professor Hyun.

It’s a shame because it’s still before work time, but if it was after work, there would have been an uproar.

Yoo Hee-won, who climbed up little by little and searched around the accommodation, soon found Professor Hyun’s room.

Professor Hyun was in a room lit by the slowly setting sun.

He was sitting with his back on the sofa, holding his forehead with one hand.

Yu Hee-Won, seeing the bridge of Professor Hyun’s nose soaked in melancholy, forgot everything for a moment and stared blankly at it.

Professor Hyeon, who soon felt the presence, turned his head and met Yoo Hee-won’s eyes.
