chapter 3
Episode 3 – Escape
“Stop!!”
As you walk to the place where the villains are waiting, you hear a shout from behind.
“If you move even a little, I will fire!!”
“Don’t be silly!”
I glanced back and saw armed soldiers running towards me with their guns pointed.
‘If you stop anyway, you will be executed. Would you like to stand?’
He snorted inwardly and tried to hasten his steps, but soon ran into a problem.
Perhaps because of the shock caused when the building collapsed, the restraints were released enough to walk forward. However, it was not enough to dodge the bullets of the troops chasing from behind in that state.
“Hey, when will it end?”
Because of that, he looked a little troubled, and the leader scratched his head and sent a radio somewhere.
> Wait a minute.
“At the best, I pretended to be cool in front of you.
> It’s not just a push of a button! Do you not think about the minds of practitioners? If you keep doing that, I’ll go on strike.
At about the same time, a little girl who was sitting on the roof of a building in the distance quickly started typing on her laptop.
– Beep…!
Within just a few seconds, all the restraints that were binding on my body were released.
It seems that my restraint was loosened not because of the shock, but because of that girl’s radio wave jacking.
By the way, a guy who can do things beyond common sense,
As far as I know there is only one
A genius who occupies the network of the Hero Alliance like a meal.
But he’s a pathetic guy whose only thing he does after taking over is posting all kinds of hateful jokes and incitement all day long.
“Is that guy… Pandora?”
“I hate that villain name, but let’s say so for now.”
Seeing that the leader didn’t deny it, I guess I wasn’t mistaken.
I shudder when I think of the number of times I worked overtime because of him, but since he saved me now, I should just let it go, right?
Anyway, I thought you were a man in his 20s no matter how bad he was.
I could never have been such a sickly-looking girl.
There was a reason I’ve never been caught in my investigation.
“What are you doing!? Go ahead and shoot!!”
I, who had been scratching my head after learning that prejudice is scary, suddenly came to my senses at the sound of shouting from behind.
“Yeah, but…”
“Anyway, the opponent is a death row inmate! Fire immediately!!”
However, looking at the situation, something feels strange.
As the guy who seems to be a senior said, it’s normal that the bullets should have come from the beginning, but why were the idiots in the back just threatening me?
“Hey, wait! No!!”
The answer to that question was soon answered by Rumia’s voice coming from behind.
“Ah, since the connection between senior Kang Ha-neul and the Dominating Hands has been revealed… it’s better to capture them alive than to kill them…!”
The soldiers who were only threatening me slowly watched Rumia screaming like that.

Judging from that, it seems that people from Lumia’s side were unknowingly planted among Karma’s troops.
Since when did this guy start preparing?
It gives goosebumps all over the body.
Well, the fortunate thing is that the current situation is not a bad variable for me.
– Clap…!
However, all of a sudden, the guns of the rest of the troops were all aimed at me.
It must have been too much for Rumia to make all of Karma’s armed forces on her side.
“Twitch.”
Instinctively, he put his hand in his pocket, but of course nothing was in it.
Could it be that I came all the way here and there were holes all over my body?
“No matter how urgent it is, you are ignoring me in front of you.”
But I guess it was a bit of a worry.
– Bubbling bubbly…!
“It’s a bit of a shame.”
The baptism of bullets fired by the armed forces with enthusiasm was blocked by the barrier of numerous cards that rose as the leader lightly waved his hand and was thrown away helplessly.
“By the way, you haven’t introduced yourself yet.”
As I stared blankly at her travels, who perfectly manipulated each card with one gesture, the leader, who suddenly ran into the room, spoke to me in a friendly way.
“Congratulations on joining the Dominating Hands, Kang Ha-neul. Is this your name?”
“…okay.”
“I’m Paradise in charge of the leader. Call me Dice for short. You can just call me Paradise. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
The closer she gets, the more clearly her appearance hidden in the darkness of the night sky is revealed.
Long shiny blonde hair, a mysterious face, and a typical white suit.
Putting everything else aside, it was easy to understand that she was not a typical person just from her visuals alone.
“By the way, there are a lot of intruders here.”
I’ve been poking around to get to know her a little bit more, so Dice frowns slightly and glances at the back of me.
“Ugh…”
“Reinforcements… are they still there?”
“No, it’s not possible with just reinforcements! Top ranking heroes must come!”
Looking back at the same time, there was a real mayhem unfolding.
Cards flying all over the place, troops retreating in confusion, and villains breaking through the cracks and clearing out the enemies one after another.
“Everybody… back away.”
At the very moment when the victory became clear even with my own eyes, a sharp voice flew in from afar.
“If you’re a top-ranked hero, you’re here.”
3rd in Korea, 11th overall.
One of the best prospects, even saying that he will be able to succeed Justia in the future.
My older sister, Kang Maru.
After evacuating Lumia to the emergency exit and returning to the front line, she was approaching us with a deaf expression.
“…my sister’s abilities are a bit annoying.”
“It’s true. No matter how hard I am, it’s a bit difficult.”
To be honest, my sister is really strong.
Most villains can’t even show their business cards, and even the head of the villain league right now is so displeased.
However.
“Can I borrow your smartphone?”
Every ability has a strategy.
“Nothing else, the medium of my abilities…”
“Are you going to use a hypnosis app?”
“Oh, right. That.”
While muttering that to myself, I was about to try my sister’s strategy for the first time, which I had only conceived of.
“Wait, what?”
I doubted my ears at the words that came out of Dyce’s mouth and asked back.
“I prepared it separately. It was programmed by Pandora herself, so I don’t know if it will suit you well.”
“Yes, you… How do you know my ability?”
Then, he walked right in front of me, put the smartphone in my hand, and whispered in a soft voice.
“…it is a secret.”
“under?”
“Maybe I’ll let you know when we become a little closer.”
At the same time, the mysterious smile she made was shining softly in the moonlight of the night sky.
.

“Suck.”
The older sister, who was avoiding Dice’s card with her agile movement, took a deep breath and immediately began to close the distance.
“I have a fatal weakness in my abilities. You know that well.”
While avoiding the countless cards pouring in, her gaze was focused on me.
“Perhaps they are planning a strategy to target that weakness.”
There was no emotion towards his younger brother in those eyes.
“That’s your patch.”
There was just one vicious villain in front of her sister.
“Stop moving.”
My sister, who succeeded in passing through countless piles of cards and approaching directly in front of Dice and me, declares with deaf eyes.
– Pajijik…!
Then, with the sound of sparks popping up, we started to freeze in an instant.
“Oh, bondage play.”
“Were you able to give orders to more than one person at once?”
After trying to listen to Dyce’s muttered words, I stared at my sister and asked a question.
“You’re not the only one hiding information about your abilities.”
“…I see.”
As can be seen from the hero’s famous ‘Great Order’, the concept of ‘command’ dwells in her sister.
Her ability known to the outside world is that she can give absolute orders to one person at a time.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Nuna was able to give orders to everyone in her line of sight.
The reason why they came to us was probably to put into sight all the villains behind the building that were hidden by obstacles.
“It’s over, Kang Ha Neul.”
In the midst of analyzing new facts, my sister pulls out a pistol from her bosom before I know it and points the gun at my head and opens her mouth.
“At least I’ll kill you in the end.”
Saying that, the older sister tilted her head slightly.
It’s a kind of routine she only sees when she’s sure of winning.
“I told you too much, sister.”
But, apparently, my sister popped the champagne too early.
“My sister is not an omnipotent being.”
It’s time to become the real villain she wanted.
.
.

“……!?”
Realizing that Kang Ha-neul’s hand was moving upwards quickly, Kang Maru shrugged and took alert, but it was already too late.
“Everyone, look this way.”
It was because most of the people at the scene inadvertently raised their gazes upwards at his soft yet clear voice.
“no!”
“Mo, everyone close your eyes!”
The henchmen who had been briefly rebuked by Lumia about his abilities were terrified at the sight and closed their eyes with a hurried cry.
“Uh…la? What is that…”
“Go, I’m suddenly sleepy…”
“What is that… it’s not a kid’s joke… it’s not…”
But many people had already seen the whirlpool that he lifted high into the sky, precisely inside the smartphone’s monitor.
“That bad guy… I didn’t reveal my abilities to everyone.”
Kang Ha Neul murmurs as if he knew it, looking at the armed forces that were instantly neutralized thanks to him.
”Calm down, even if you get out of my sight, the command you give once is valid until a certain amount of time has passed.’
Meanwhile, his older sister, who closed her eyes before it was too late, clenched her teeth and muttered inside.
‘I don’t know why he’s out of his powers, but if he can subdue him again…’
Eventually, she had gone crazy thinking about it, and started to apply the power to the trigger of the pistol she was holding.
“I’m closing my eyes, how are you going to shoot the gun?”
“ね!?”
Thanks to the card that flew like a bullet and stuck in her wrist, she missed the pistol.
“You’re throwing better than you think. It’s good to have a spare card.”
“…do I have to take it out of the middle?”
“No, other than here, it’s usually in my pants pocket.”
“……..”
“Still, this is the most comfortable place, so it’s quick to take it out.”
Kang Ha-neul, who was staring at Dice with a blush in her face, who responded with an innocent expression by tapping her chest, then slowly moved forward.
“What kind of trick did you use…”
In that way, the brothers and sisters faced each other from the opposite position.
“As soon as I turned on my smartphone, I hypnotized myself.”
“hypnosis?”
“It was enough to hint at not taking orders from anyone.”
At the cold voice of his younger brother, whom he had never heard before, Maru, whose eyebrows were wriggling, began to chew his lips quietly.
“Something as simple as that…”
“My sister’s ability is situational manipulation. It can be interfered with by other abilities. Doesn’t the head of the academy not know that?”
“Ugh…”
Kang Ha-neul, who watched the scene quietly, felt the presence of some people who were closing their eyes behind her sister and lifted up their smartphones.
“If I could move even one step forward, it would be like this…”
He said that as he looked through the options full of hypnosis apps, and he suddenly made a confused expression and blurred the end of his speech.
“…why are all the functions so bizarre?”
Then, with a very bewildered expression on her face, Sky asks Dice a question.
“You don’t like it? I made it while watching Pandora and reference materials together.”
“No, what did you see?”
“Everything like that in the comics came out like that…”
“Shoot, shoot!! Aim as high as possible…!”
While not missing the gap created by that, Lumia’s henchmen, who had their eyes closed, tried their last move.
“Anyway, it’s time to go.”
As soon as the command’s duration had passed, Dice, who had quickly cleaned them up with a single card, signaled that it was time to leave.
“Actually, a lot of heroes have already arrived at the scene. There are only four executives blocking their entry.”
“Have you arrived already? Then, hurry up… Ugh.”
Hearing the news, Kang Ha-neul, who was preparing to leave, begins to shake her body, which has been shattered by the accumulated fatigue.
“Hey, but you don’t take revenge?”
“revenge?”
“It seems like a lot of things have piled up. It’s not enough time, but I can take care of that level of convenience.”
Then Dice wisely gave up his shoulder. Then, when she asks as if she has suddenly remembered, Kang Ha-neul, who was leaning on Dice’s shoulder, quietly raises her smartphone and asks.
“Can a newbie do that by themselves?”
“Do not interfere in other people’s revenge, that’s my iron rule.”
After staring at her for a moment, who still exudes an unknown atmosphere, Kang Ha-neul began to turn her gaze to the ‘Great Order’.
“Then, can you help me for a moment?”
At that request, it was Dice who nodded with a satisfied smile.
.
.
.
.
.
“uh, ah…..”
“Is that okay? Really?”
Dice, who glanced back at the ‘Great Order’, which is making a hazy expression in the aftermath of hypnosis from afar, asks me a question.
“that’s enough.”
I nodded my head, enjoying the refreshment I had not felt in a long time, and then I looked around and opened my mouth.
“By the way, where did you go?”
“Is it?”
Ira has not been seen since before.
Apparently he had lost consciousness before and fell.
where the hell did you go
‘Did you know how to hide?’
If she were there, I wouldn’t have been able to find it.
Maybe he’s mixed with people in disguise?
I wanted to escape with her as much as possible, but if I escaped first, that is reassuring as it is.
I am very worried about her future, but her life is saved.
If we escape from here, we’ll have to find her first.
“But how do we get out of here now?”
“There is a way.”
After I quietly thought about it, when I asked that question, Dice smiled brightly and spread his arms wide.
“Come on, hug me.”
“what?”
“What are you doing without being hugged?”
I didn’t know what the hell she was talking about, so I was just staring at her blankly, but then I looked up at the sky and realized that intention.
“Is that your base?”
“Normally, it’s always stealth. Even top-ranked heroes can chase stars in the sky, it’s truly an invincible fortress.”
A long line stretched across the huge fortress floating in the sky.
A fairly typical escape method.
Still, it certainly worked well.
“Well…”
“Hehe.”
As I carefully wrapped my arms around her waist to escape, a soft touch began to spread throughout my body.
“Close a little tighter.”
“…….”
“Tighten your legs a little too.”
It wasn’t anything to be ashamed of.
It’s just that their faces were too close.
“Oh, yes. Okay. That’s it.”
> What are you guys really doing? I can hear the mic. To refrain from doing so as it reduces your ability to work.
A text message quickly passed by Dice’s electronic watch, but he turned his head away.
“Then let’s go.”
After spending a while in Dice’s arms like that, she grabbed the rope and started beckoning.
“no!!!”
That was the moment.
“Blonde hair, who the hell are you? Why are you coming out now?”
“………..”
“Why did you suddenly come out and ruin everything!!!”
The cry of Rumia, who lost her reason, began to be heard from below.
“This is wrong. Totally wrong.”
“Hmm?”
“Senpai is not the kind of person to go to an extra like you!!!”
I, who had always been at the top of my head and had a blank expression on my face without being able to say anything at the desperate sight of the girl I saw for the first time.
“what’s the matter?”
Hearing the sad voice of Dice, who embraced me with the cloak that I was wearing, I shifted my gaze to her.
“I love stealing so much.”
“…!”
“On the other hand, aren’t you used to being taken away?”
What the hell does this girl know?
How will Lumia come out from now on, and how will my destiny unfold in the future?
With fifty thousand thoughts in my head, I finally closed my eyes slowly, unable to bear the weight of my heavy eyelids.
“…that’s good.”
My last thought right before I lost consciousness was how nice to see Rumia’s shocked expression.
