I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

Chapter 165: A Chaotic Week (1)

Chapter 165: A Chaotic Week (1)

Despite the many events of the day, it was surprisingly only the second day of practice.

In just one day, too many events had occurred: many people died, and a formidable entity was killed.

People plunged into chaos, mixing baseless rumors with fear.

However, there was one thing.

Thanks to the information announced at dawn, people felt somewhat relieved.

Brewer, did anything unusual happen while I was asleep?

Unusual? Yes. The Chairman appeared on TV and gave a speech. It was broadcast worldwide due to hacking.

Is there a recording of it?

One piece of certified information.

The Goblin of Chilryeon Society had executed an entity named Duoexini.

This information was so certain that no verification was needed.

Not because it was factual but because the Chief herself had announced it.

The Chief did not lie.

A person aiming for world domination could not afford to lie, as no one would believe them. Hence, her principle was always to speak the truth.

At least when she was in front of the media.

She said she would handle it personally, so revealing the truth was her way.

You dont like it?

No, I dont.

While adding shrimp sauce to my rice soup, I rechecked the video.

The Chairman announcing that I killed Duoexini had two purposes: one, to prevent accusations against the Platinum Sun, and secondly, to inform the world about Duoexinis death.

Duoexinis death?

Yes. Rather than gaining from hiding information, its crucial to spread it quickly to calm the worlds chaos. Look at this.

I opened a stock app on my tablet.

The Nasdaq hit rock bottom as soon as the news broke that 500 people died due to a demon released by Duoexini in Korea, especially since he wasnt captured during the chaos.

Koreas crisis causing a crash in the U.S. stock market?

It was expected.

Korea was the worlds center; a disaster there meant global panic.

Even a circuit breaker was triggered, halting all trades.

And it was lifted

Thirty minutes had passed since the official broadcast from the Chilryun Society.

Investors in the U.S. must have felt like they were in hell.

A demon in Korea that couldnt be dealt with suggested a global threat.

My reputation as Duoexinis killer has prevented an international economic collapse. The Chairman deemed it crucial, and I concur.

Well, its not like the Chairman needs your opinion

The Chairmans opinion is mine. And she would never allow me to suffer losses.

Even if it means a full-scale war with Pandemonium?

That would be even better.

Upon reflection, this was an opportunity.

Now the world has united against Duoexini and his backers. No one dares side with them. With the Chilryun Society leading the charge, resolving this issue will propel us toward our goal of world domination.

It was about eliminating the one who turned ability users into demons.

We damaged the organization he was part of, eliminating one of the seven stars.

The Chilryun Society had saved the world from a threat that nations couldnt handle.

That alone was sufficient to secure future support and sway public opinion in our favor.

Thats enough.

Yet your expression doesnt look too pleased while watching the video.

Thats for another reason.

I pointed at the black silhouette.

Why did the Chief choose to appear in this form to speak?

Perhaps she just felt like it.

Ah, no. You see this and still dont understand.

Upon closer inspection, the turtle placed above the lower abdomen wasnt there without reason.

Although it wasnt actually a turtle, lets pretend not to notice for now since its just a silhouette.

Ill need to ask about it later. Why did she choose to appear in this form? People must be in chaos now. The Chiefs appearance has changed.

Some factions seem to appreciate it.

Those factions, arent they the ones the FBI should be watching?

The Chiefs transformation had also become an issue.

The Chief has become younger! This is the undeniable truth!

Police officer, over here!

Isnt that her original form? The Chief we saw before was just a fake one.

What? So it was all fake?

The relief that Duoexini had been annihilated allowed for speculation about the Chiefs change in appearance.

Anyway, since the Goblin of the Chilryun Society announced that he killed Duoexini, its confirmed that Duoexini is dead.

If Duoexini hadnt died, people would now be condemning the Korean heroes for failing to capture him.

This would have affected both Baek Seol-hee and the Platinum Sun.

Thanks to that, our country dodged a bullet. The Chairmans intervention made our all-night meeting pointless.

Probably.

Plans to find and kill Duoexini became pointless.

Theyre probably now wasting resources shredding the printed press releases they prepared in vain.

Then what we need to worry about now is oh, youre up?

Ugh

Doul staggered to the table.

As soon as she sat down, she buried her head on the table, and Brewer looked awkwardly towards the induction cooker.

For breakfast

Brewer. Bring me milk.

I put down my spoon and took out a bowl I had requested earlier from the pension owner.

That? Isnt that a bit harsh?

Its fine.

It looked like a dog bowl, but that was what it was.

Pour the milk.

Treating a person like this.

Not a person.

Doul rubbed her face on the table and then raised her head drowsily.

Im a ghost.

Even if youre a ghost, eating milk from a dog bowl is

This is my meal.

I received the milk from Brewer and poured it into the bowl, and Doul began to lick the milk, sticking out her tongue.

Slurp, slurp.

Brewer seemed slightly shocked by the scene.

What? Shocked to see a Chilryun Society executive eating like this?

Gunggi, no, no. Dont say it.

She eats by pecking.

.

Brewer covered her face with her hands.

While others think of the society as dark heroes who averted a global crisis, here we have its leaders eating breakfast like this.

Brewer pointed at me and Doul with a sigh.

What a world.

Thats how the world is. You cant always be dressed up and have your hair done.

I scooped a spoonful of perilla powder into my rice soup.

Take it easy, Brewer. It means youre comfortable with us.

Slurp, slurp, slurp.

What we really need to worry about now is

The Platinum Sun?

No.

The Platinum Sun issue was just a minor concern for some.

The real issue is something else. Just listen to that.

It was a problem derived from the Platinum Sun, but.

The Zenros, what do we do about them now?

Those who were demons and then purified.

Humans are predictable.

Their fear, disgust, and hatred toward them.

Theyll be up in arms. How dare a demon enter my neighborhood!

Humans.

They were humans.

Breaking news. The government will issue arrest warrants for Ability Loss Patients as soon as they complete vaccination and adaptation

.

On the Gyeongbu Expressway, heading to Busan.

Baek Seol-hee sat in the back of a limousine, lost in thought while watching the news.

Senior, what do you think about the Zenros?

Im not sure.

Baek Seol-hee turned her gaze out of the window as she pondered the question from A-class hero Blast Girl, who was in the limousine with her.

First, we need to finish the investigation.

Will the investigation, no, will the judgment be fair?

Kim Eun-jung, what are you trying to say?

Well.

Blast Girl, Kim Eun-jung pulled out a list on her Taeguk Watch with a serious face.

Among the Zenros, theres a former ministers son, relatives in the legal field

So, they wont be punished because they have connections with judges and lawyers?

Even if they are punished, will it be just a slap on the wrist? Its complicated. If they killed a few people, they get a few years; if they only caused property damage, a few years Ugh. Sometimes, I think the Goblin is right in these situations.

You shouldnt say such things.

But its true, Senior. You must have felt it when you fought the S-class demon with the Goblin.

Kim Eun-jung approached Baek Seol-hee with a significant tone.

If the Goblin steps in, we wont have to dirty our hands

The Goblin is not a hooligan. We cant use him for such things.

But, with the Goblin

Stop talking nonsense.

Baek Seol-hee warned with a cold, stern voice.

If you say that one more time, I will get angry

Screech.

The car stopped.

Baek Seol-hees limousine, followed by other cars, halted one after the other.

Whats happening? Did the road get damaged?

That, thats

The driver, with a grave face, pointed ahead.

Up ahead, people have occupied the road, lying down.

What?

Theyre wearing red headbands, lying on the road.

Baek Seol-hee immediately opened the limousine door and stepped out.

Flutter.

Banners fluttered on poles extended to the left and right.

Hastily written red letters on a white cloth made Baek Seol-hee involuntarily read.

Once a demon, always a demon, oppose their entry into Busan?

Wow, Senior. Is this what they call NIMBYism from textbooks?

Jangjaejangjang!

The sound of a gong rang out, and someone began shouting through a megaphone.

How dare they bring a demon into Busan! How dare they!

How dare they! How dare they!

The Hero Association must wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up!

Demons to hell! Criminals to the gallows!

To the gallows! To the gallows!

Execute the villains! Call the Goblin!

Call him! Call him!

Sigh.

Baek Seol-hee felt a chill run down her spine.

Are they now demanding the Goblin to kill all the Zenros?
