Chapter 80
“Investigator. Starting tomorrow, don’t work anymore.”
“...What?”
A few weeks ago, Arte took Ha-Yul as a bodyguard, saying she was going to the beach with her friends.
Taking advantage of a moment when no one was around, Arte ordered him not to come to work.
The memory of being flustered and thinking she may have been displeased with how he handled his duties vividly resurfaced.
Not wanting to give up my work at Arachne, he had resolved to try to persuade Arte.
However, the conversation took a slightly different turn than I had anticipated.
“B, but I still have much to offer Arachne!”
“...Ah. Not the organization, I mean the Association. I’ve already contacted them.”
“The Association, you say?”
“Yes, the Association. I think you should take on some different duties.”
She flashed a smile at him.
Hair fluttering in the breeze and a bright smile.
A bikini that emphasized her figure like a girl her age.
No matter how you looked at it, she didn’t seem like the leader of Arachne, the one called the ‘nightmare of villains.’
When momentarily dazed by that sight, he didn’t properly hear what she said next.
...Ah, right. She said,
Help the students gain motivation.
Ensure their spirits aren’t broken by the villains.
“On the last day before vacation, many of you witnessed numerous villains shattering the peace.”
“...”
It was a story they had just heard from Claire as well.
But the students fell silent once more.
One’s first real battle is always dangerous and shocking for anyone.
That’s why students are sent into the field with as much preparation as possible.
There was no time to prepare this year, so even though the students had rested well, whenever that incident was brought up, they seemed to recall what happened back then.
...Well, it’s a good thing for him.
It was a headache that many students turned to villainy, but if it becomes a trauma for them, that number will decrease.
He didn’t want to see those kids dying while crying out for their mothers.
But that’s his personal take.
The academy and Association said they were quite at a loss.
If the students gave up on becoming heroes, it was obvious that the shortage of superpowered individuals in society would worsen.
On top of that, the number of injured teachers was considerable.
With some in critical condition requiring months of recuperation, there was a shortage of teachers.
“It must have been frightening. I understand. I was scared of the first villain I encountered, too. Wondering if I could beat that person. What would happen if I lost... But didn’t you feel any other emotion besides fear?”
That’s why the Association and Arte decided to make use of him.
Society was currently in a state of suppressing villains strongly, so there was some leeway for now, but it was like a powder keg that could explode at any time.
Even one more would progress that a little faster.
Blades were needed to excise the cancerous masses from society.
Even knowing the students may be in danger, deliberately conducting midterms this way was part of that.
The students’ trauma may be further triggered. They may face a daunting wall and collapse.
... That’s why Ha-Yul was the right person for the job. Why Arachne was the right choice.
Because as a member of an organization that hated villains, he could awaken the students.
Because he could overwrite their trauma with hatred.
“I heard a considerable number of civilians in the commercial district around the academy were injured, and some even died.”
“...”
“After fighting a villain for the first time, I felt fear like all of you. And I also felt rage.”
“...Is being swayed by emotion always a bad thing?”
“What?”
Claire blankly asked him back. It was an expression that showed she hadn’t expected him to oppose her.
...Honestly, he was surprised too. He had also thought the same way.
Him talking back to Claire. How many years had it been?
Since our student days, the three of us always hung out together.
The two often fought because their personalities didn’t match well.
Claire, who pursued moderation, and Ha-Yul, who tried to gloss over everything, didn’t get along.
She would always reprimand him, and he would brush it off. Angered by that, Claire would reprimand him again...
The smile that would stop them was nowhere to be found.
“I met the criminal who killed ‘him.'”
“What?! Th-That’s...! That guy got out?! Wh-Where is he right...!”
“Don’t worry. I already killed him.”
“?!”
As he said it out loud, it felt like he could vividly recall that moment, and a smile lingered on his lips.
That bastard wasn’t even worth using his ability on.
With his own hands, directly.
His neck was so soft.
Ah, how ecstatic that agonized look was.
“Y-You...! You killed him?! That’s...!”
“A villain? No, it’s different. It’s different from that.”
“How is it different!”
“That was revenge, no. Punishment. The rightful sentence was given to a despicable sinner who hadn’t paid for his crimes.”
Someone once said.
Revenge breeds revenge. To break the chain of revenge, you need to know how to forgive.
Revenge isn’t sweet, they said.
Wrong.
He can assert that it was the first time he had felt that happy since he died.
He’ll never forget that moment when he cut off that bastard’s breath with his hands.
“I’m sorry, Claire. I wanted to leave your share too, but... Since there’s only one life. The first one to take it is the owner, right?”
“You, you...”
“Are you going to tell me revenge isn’t right? But you know, all heroes are avengers.”
Heroes always appear only after villains emerge.
This has been an unchanging fact for hundreds of years.
But that’s why heroes always take revenge.
To protect society, to realize justice.
A hero is an avenger who punishes villains who have committed crimes.
“Things won’t get as extreme as you think. I have no intention of creating criminals. After all, that would increase my workload.”
“Ha-Yul... You’ve changed.”
“Of course I’ve changed, Claire. It’s been years since then.”
Realizing that no matter what she said, he wouldn’t accept it, Clair looked at him with complicated eyes, and he smiled at her.
“Don’t worry, Claire. I’ll definitely make your students strong.”
‘So no one will feel the pain we went through.’
