I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain

Chapter 209: A Toast To Your Patriotism (10)

Chapter 209: A Toast To Your Patriotism (10)

The final match had concluded.

From the moment Hayabusa intervened, from the moment the Goblin made his appearance, the showdown between Ray Hwang and Yoon Iseon was effectively over.

Ray Hwang transformed into a demon, and the Goblin converted the demon Lu Bu into Zenros.

Then, the Goblin vanished.

Before everyones eyes, it stirred up the wind and disappeared like a Taoist master commanding the elements.

Thanks to this, people learned three things about the Goblin.

One: The Goblin can create duplicates of himself.

Two: The Goblin can transform demons into Zenros.

And three: Despite being surrounded by other S-class individuals, the Goblin could easily escape.

As always, the Goblin vanished more effortlessly than before, and no one noticed how.

Ugh!

Baridegi, Tae Irin, clenched her fists and walked down the hallway.

The Goblin has disappeared! Find the Goblin!

Hes not here!

Despite their vigilant search, hoping the Goblin might still be nearby, all they encountered were confused students and faculty members rushing through the hallway.

[What are you talking about now! Ray Hwang clearly used mana powder! We should be discussing his punishment first!]

[Uh, first, about him becoming a demon and then turning into Zenros]

[Ray Hwang is disqualified! Yoon Iseon is the winner! We need to make a clear decision!]

[Well, before we could make a decision, Hayabusa intervened]

The wireless earphones connected to her Taeguk Watch buzzed with the sounds of the academy principal and the associations agents arguing.

[Principal, we should be focusing on finding the Goblin]

[Whats the use of looking for someone who has already fled! Its always like that! Even if we look for the Goblin, could we even find his tail?! Its more realistic to deal with the current situation!]

[But making a victory announcement now is]

[Argh, the winner is Yoon Iseon! Afterwards, find the Goblin or whatever!! Think logically!!]

Frustrated by their inability to catch the Goblin, and without having seen how the Goblin escaped, the so-called higher-ups are once again fiercely arguing over something that seems trivial.

It might actually be an important issue.

The victory of a Korean.

A-class Yoon Iseon, who outperformed everyone else, could be declared the winner, but the aftermath makes it difficult for Yoon Iseon to be officially declared the winner.

If anything

The Goblin wins.

The biggest beneficiary turned out to be the Goblin.

Hayabusas excessive intervention caused Ray Hwang to go on a rampage.

As a result, Ray Hwang became a demon.

Yoon Iseon managed to skillfully dodge Ray Hwangs attacks but did not manage to defeat him decisively.

Could they have won if the fight had continued?

That remained merely a hypothesis.

Unless they confronted Ray Hwang again, who, having become Zenros and lost all special abilities except for the attached Lunar Halberd, could no longer be considered a special ability user.

Who knows?

Suddenly, with a huff, the Dark Charisma might appear, kidnap Ray Hwang, and after about ten days, throw him back onto Sejong Island, where he could reemerge as a special ability user capable of wielding magic power.

But like other revived special ability users, starting again as an E-classspecifically, a physical enhancement typeit would take a long time for him to climb back up to A-class.

Therefore, its impossible to immediately determine the A-class final match winner.

In the end, it seemed appropriate for Yoon Iseon, who reached the finals, to lift the winners cup, but it might be problematic to do so without impressing.

[At least if it had been a match between Hayabusa and Yoon Iseon, who knows, but now Hayabusa is also not in a favorable position with public opinion.]

[The problem is that she turned someone into a demon by claiming to be the original, and the biggest issue is that the Goblin made her abandon the riders appearance.]

Damn it.

Tae Irin cursed through gritted teeth.

That damn Rider everyone and their dog, Rider, Rider! Ive heard about Rider on TV more than a hundred times in two months! Doesnt it get old?

Though no one was listening, Tae Irin deliberately raised her voice, venting her frustration out loud.

Good riddance! I hope we can finally stop this crazy Rider obsession now! Ugh!!

She had grown to intensely dislike Rider.

Initially, she brushed it off as just another bizarre trend, but after hearing everyone chant Rider for two months, her annoyance had turned into outright irritation.

A trend was momentary, but talking about Rider for a whole two months was mentally exhausting.

While she was pleased that the Goblin decided to abandon the Rider concept, Tae Irin was annoyed by people making a fuss, saying, The Goblin, a frontrunner of the Rider craze, has abandoned Rider!

In fact.

-Hey, Irin. Check out my new Rider. What do you think?

-Sending Rider pictures at four in the morning. Go away.

-What about at four in the afternoon? Ive created a new Taeguk Rider concept this time. Ill decorate my face with petals like the Mugunghwa.

-Ah, youre crazy. Go away

Tae Irin was further irritated by someone sending her pictures daily, claiming to have created a new Rider concept by attaching steel armor all over themselves.

I hope it doesnt show up again. Really, ugh. Just wear a suit and go about normally!

Grumbling, Tae Irin soon arrived at her destination.

The womens restroom.

Swoosh.

Tae Irin scooped water from the sink and splashed it on her face.

.

After cooling off her face with water,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!

She grabbed the sink and screamed her lungs out.

Haa, haa, haa.

She wanted to scream.

Afraid of looking like a crazy woman if she screamed in the hallway, she purposely came to the restroom to do it.

But even screaming in the bathroom, everyone understands, Ah, she must be really stressed.

Ugh!!

Rustle.

!!

Startled after venting some stress by screaming, Tae Irin hastily wiped her face with a paper towel.

Oh, oh?

Believing the bathroom to be empty and having let out a shout, she wondered if someone might have been nside.

.

Tae Irin pricked up her ears.

A rustling sound came from the very back of the womens restroom.

.

The sound of her high heels echoed loudly.

There was definitely noise inside the womens restroom, causing Tae Irins heart to sink.

Is anyone there?

No reply came.

However, the bathroom stall door lock was red, making Tae Irins face turn red.

Oh, I, sorry. Ive been under a lot of stress lately

Suddenly.

The moment Tae Irins gaze dropped.

Huh?

Her heart sank.

It was a shoe.

A mans shoe.

A mans shoe that shouldnt be in the womens restroom was upside down.

.

Shoe?

Suit?

Womens restroom?

For some reason, Tae Irin considered such a possibility.

Perhaps she hadnt found the Goblin because, as the dean suggested, she was thinking logically.

Right.

Appearances could be easily changed.

Voices could be changed too.

In a world where people suddenly opened spaces, flew with wings of ice, and turned into demons, what was impossible?

Excuse me.

Tae Irin lowered her voice and gathered her magic power.

I am S-class hero, Baridegi Tae Irin. Whoever is inside, I need your cooperation.

Tae Irin knocked on the door.

There was definitely a sound inside, confirming someones presence, and Tae Irin silently counted to three.

Three. Two. One.

Pop!

Tae Irin jumped up on the spot, then grabbed onto the top of the next restroom stall and leaped.

Ah.

And she saw.

.

.

A black-haired man.

And a blond, blue-eyed woman.

The man stood still, and the woman sat on a lowered toilet seat cover.

And the two were engaged in an act that Tae Irin couldnt describe, an act that she, given her age, could never describe.

Ah, uh, ugh?

Tae Irin froze on the spot.

The two inside also froze.

It didnt matter to her that the man was handsome or the woman was incredibly beautiful, or that they possessed magic power pouches incomparable to hers.

What caught her eye was-

.

Tae Irin quietly descended.

And she leaned back as much as possible, not knowing what to say.

Rustle, rustle.

Sounds came from inside.

-Ha. I told you someone was coming.

-But I was in a hurry. You were the one who said it was okay.

-Well, ha. Start by wiping your mouth.

-Ugh. It was just about to start the real game.

-Quiet. Lower your voice even more.

-Hehe.

.

Tae Irin scratched her cheek.

And while she waited for those inside.

Whats going on? Oh, Baridegi-nim!

Who?

Yes! Im a Hero Association agent, Park Eun-jung! I came running when I heard the scream!

The Hero Associations bob-haired woman, Park Eun-jung, saluted on the spot.

Is it the Goblin? Ill call for backup immediately-

No, no. Just I was annoyed because I couldnt find it. Stress relief, stress relief.

Ah, I see! Understood! Ill look elsewhere! My apologies!

Park Eun-jung disappeared with a salute.

Tae Irin covered her face with her hand and knocked on the door again.

Im sorry for interrupting your patriotism. But please, choose the time and place

Yes.

Finally, a response came.

The voice sounded somewhat sticky, but that must have been her imagination.

.

Tae Irin couldnt calm her flushed face and turned her head slightly as she was about to leave.

The moment she saw inside.

The moment her eyes met with the black-haired man and the implications dawned on her.

.

Tae Irins face turned red again.

Oh, my goodness.

She hadnt found the Goblin.

I didnt make a mistake, did I? Hmm. It must be. To do that thereugh.

She ended up witnessing patriotism.

No obscenity whatsoever.
