chapter 35
35 – The guy I’m used to seeing for the first time 2
A raid on the training ground by the villains caused a commotion.
Although it seemed that the aftermath was barely subsiding in the world, after that day my life began to run more hectic than before.
Information collection made in a line where my existence is not revealed as much as possible.
It was not an easy task, and despite this, the amount of information obtained was very small.
The Rebellion of Hera and Poseidon..
In the aftermath, the elders were annihilated, and several people, including the commanders of the corps, died…
In addition, there was even news that other corps commanders who resisted their rebellion declared their own routes or were preparing for a clash with Hera’s forces.
Although it was impossible to notice anything more detailed than this right now. This alone gave me a clear sense that the situation was taking a very serious turn.
It wasn’t just because I was a villain in the Alliance in the past.
Although there were concerns about past friendships and acquaintances. Honestly, what I’m most worried about right now is my current life, which is bound to be affected by this.
The fact that the Alliance of Villains has collapsed might sound like good news to people like me living in Yangji at first glance.
Because it could sound like a story about the collapse of an evil organization that threw the world into chaos.
But…
The truth is that the story is not as good as people think.
Until now, as a huge organization, the Alliance of Villains has been controlling the villains and putting restrictions on their actions.
The fact that they disappeared meant that the villains, who had been restrained to some extent in the name of discipline, were now really rampaging without hesitation.
You don’t have to look far right now, the Cyclops’ training ground attack incident this time will be a good example.
Just as the rules related to the prohibition of attacks on the hero academy, which had been considered taboo, to be precise, against minors, were shattered,
From now on, it was clear that the world would be in chaos with impromptu and indiscriminate raids by villains whose minimum rules had disappeared, and battles between heroes struggling to prevent them.
‘This is probably the reason why the Hero Association does not announce the collapse of the Villain Alliance.
In addition, no matter what the internal circumstances and reality were, the current organization called the Alliance of Villains did not completely evaporate.
The ‘Villain Alliance’, which was dominated by legion commanders including Hera and Poseidon, was still alive, and the forces led by Zeus were also claiming to be the Villain Alliance right now.
At least until the two forces sorted things out and declared something new, the Villain Alliance could be seen as existing.
‘Anyway, what’s important is what the villains who started to leave the alliance were up to..’
I don’t know, but the possibility of something else happening inside and outside the academy soon was very high.
Among the villains, there were those who acted with a special purpose, but they simply liked to draw attention from others..
The proportion of the so-called officials was also quite high.
For them, Hero Academy is one of the best places to draw aggro.
Of course, considering the retaliation against him in the future, this wouldn’t be a very good option.
‘I have to be careful for now.. I don’t care if it’s other people, but for now, I just want to make sure I don’t get caught up in Yuri…’
She was my disciple in the past, and now she has become a junior who follows me well.
Since she has a deep relationship with her, from a certain point on, I came to have a desire to protect her as much as possible.
‘In that respect… honestly, I hope that child develops a little more ability on his own. It’s not like how long I can stay by that child’s side…’
With that thought in mind, I began to think about how to give that child combat training if the opportunity arises sooner or later.
As a teacher in her past, her talent is definitely great.
Although she hadn’t been able to blossom her talent well because her academy life was so bad, it was clear that she would be able to become stronger than expected if a good opportunity was provided.
‘I have no choice but to catch myself once in a while, so that I can help as much as possible without being noticed..’
I think of Yuri, who has been going home in a hurry lately.
With the thought that I should act as her teacher once more, a smile began to form on my lips.

“Kuh….”
“Okay, take it slow… Concentrate. With the feeling of enveloping the target..”
Yuri frowns slightly with a tired moan coming from his mouth.
Looking at her like that, that person ..
Athena, a girl who introduced herself as Minerva and a former commander of the 7th corps of the Villain Alliance, continued her ‘education’ with her sincerity and a voice filled with admiration.
“When using abilities, the most important thing is to believe in yourself. Don’t set limits on your own strength. The moment you set limits, growth can only end there. Even if it’s empty, it’s okay. Try to inflate the image of your ability as much as possible. As much as that size, the width of your growth will also grow.”
“Ah.. Ok.. Uh.”
Following Manerva’s instructions, Yuri tries to come up with an image in her mind as much as possible.
Of course, as Minerva said, what she was thinking of was beyond her ability.
However, despite this, Yuri endlessly drew the embodied image in her head, and once again became engrossed in the use of her powers.
The result…
-Kwajijik!!
“Ah!”
The next second, the plastic glass literally shatters in front of her eyes.
Due to the nature of the material, it was correct to break or bend rather than break like this.
And… Watching her ‘achievements’, a deep smile began to form on Minerva’s lips.
“Good job. It definitely grows fast.”
“Ha ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Go.. Thank you..”
Yuri answers while exhaling with difficulty.
At this moment, there were many shattered shards all around her, just like those plastic glasses from before.
Today, back at her house, she uses her own powers to literally break things.
Looking around at them, Minerva once again began to admire in her heart the wonderful ‘stone’ that was sitting in front of her.
‘This level of perseverance at such a young age. I’m pretty sure he has the qualities to be a great villain, except for his attitude..’
Yuri who possesses the ability to be within her fingertips among her disciples whom she has taught as her corps commander.
However, apart from these thoughts, Minerva did not have any intentions of making her her villain.
First of all, Yuri’s mild-mannered mindset was a very decisive reason for her disqualification.
Crucially, this is because she is no longer a military commander raising villains.
As a result of taking the medicine for her suicide, Minerva became the body of a young girl.
She was in a situation where she no longer had any lingering attachments to her as a villain.
Of course, if the opportunity comes, she wants to take revenge on Hera and her gang who brutally murdered her colleagues and her subordinates, but that is only secondary.
Now, she has decided to accept this new life that has been given to her, and she has already thought about her next steps in relation to it.
“Then let’s rest for today. I’m entering the Hero Academy tomorrow, but I don’t want to go to school alone.”
“Yes, okay Minerva.”
With those words, Yuri looks genuinely happy with a smile on her lips.
Seeing her like that, Minerva put a smile on her lips as well and headed to her bathroom to wash herself.
‘Going to school… after almost 10 years?.. Officially going to a place called school…’
