I figured Seo-yoon would at least have a vague idea about Pyro Bomber.
Well…
That’s because Lee Seong-won and Dream Caster must have confessed a lot to her.
I assumed they would’ve told Mobia everything about Pyro Bomber as well…
…They told her everything about me but didn’t say anything about Pyro Bomber and Hye-won?
Seriously. I was the nicest to her, and yet they only spilled my secrets.
Should I be happy about this or not…
Well…
“Let’s just head home for now.”
For now, I decided to focus on the fact that Seo-yoon had cleared up her misunderstanding that I’d been brainwashed.
Given where we were, I tried to leave the scene as quickly as possible.
That guy…?
I saw a familiar-looking man limping out of the Association building with difficulty.
V?
Word Mage V.
He possessed the tricky power of attacking others by infusing strength into his words.
The last I remembered, I had fed him a massive dose of drugs.
How is he still alive?
I was momentarily surprised to see him looking better than expected.
But I quickly reminded myself that the priority was getting out of here fast—
Just then…
“?”
He suddenly turned his head this way, and our eyes locked squarely. He was looking at me while I was still wearing the Villain Hunter mask.
“…Seo-yoon, by any chance, are you not cloaking me with telekinesis right now?”
“No…”
“…Are you really going to leave my pants like that?”
Come to think of it, since I had used them to block Seo-yoon’s view earlier…
I now realized I looked like some crazy guy standing there nearly naked, blatantly staring at him.
“Cover your ears, Seo-yoon.”
For now, it seemed like a fight with the Word Mage was about to break out.
At the same time I told Seo-yoon to cover her ears, I didn’t hesitate to bring my hands down hard and ruptured my own eardrums.
Bzzzzzzzz—
A sharp, unpleasant pain rang out in my ears, but I knew this pain would soon subside.
I planned to take down the Word Mage within a minute. Hiding behind some bushes, I prepared to finish him off in one swift move—
“■■■■■!”
He’s here.
“■■■■.”
“?”
The guy suddenly rushed straight toward me on his limping leg…
“■■■■■■■!”
“????”
Then he kneeled before me and started saying something.
“■■■■■!”
“????????”
What the…
…What is this?
Is this some kind of new attack method or something?
…What the hell is going on…?
Utterly confused by the situation, I turned to look at Seo-yoon—
Where did she go again?
In that short moment, Mobia had used telekinesis to hide herself.
Thanks to that, I was now half-naked, caught by V in the bushes in front of the Hero Association.
At least leave my pants if you’re going to disappear…!
Seriously, Seo-yoon, if it’s come to this, I’ve got nothing left to cover myself with.
Please, just come back.
…
After my eardrums healed, I was finally able to hear V’s voice again.
The words coming out of his mouth were beyond imagination.
“How much do you want?”
“…Huh?”
“I said, how much! I’ll buy it all!”
“…Are you talking about drugs?”
“Mhmm!”
Just look at that confident demand.
Anyone would think I’ve been holding onto drugs for him.
But also look at him kneeling there so confidently.
Is this one of those new trends? Half desperate, half bold… fashionably submissive or something?
“…Do you even realize what you’re saying right now?”
“Of course. A hero trying to buy drugs from a villain.”
What’s more, judging by V’s condition, he didn’t even look like an addict.
The correct way to put it would be that he was saying this insane nonsense with a perfectly straight face.
…Should I just kill this crazy bastard?
As I watched him doing his best to buy drugs from me… just when I started to think this had to be some kind of trap—
“You have a meeting scheduled with the Vice President soon, don’t you?”
“…How do you know about that?”
“The Vice President told me. Said there’s going to be a meeting with the villain hunter soon and asked if I wanted to get revenge.”
Just as I suspected, V let slip that the Vice President was plotting to eliminate me.
“Hmm…”
It wasn’t a big deal.
If I brought Seo-yoon with me to the meeting, that place would be the safest one in the world for me anyway.
Still…
“…Do you really want it that badly?”
“Think about it. I’m a hero. Do you think I could pull off an illegal deal? Do you know how strict the ID checks are in drug trades these days?”
“True, last time they even launched an operation just to catch me, and the whole thing got leaked on Telegraph.”
If the only problem was that I couldn’t tell how serious V was about asking me for a drug deal so confidently, then it really was a problem.
“Exactly! I’ll give you information, and in return, you give me drugs.”
Now that Seo-yoon had quit the Hero Association, having access to inside information from the Association wasn’t a bad deal at all.
It would’ve been a lie to say I wouldn’t regret missing out on such a valuable resource.
“Haah… Fine. Let’s do it. On the condition that I get to decide the time and date of our meeting.”
With that, I took charge of arranging the next meeting with V.
“Just give me one dose tomorrow for now, alright? I gave you info first, didn’t I? Don’t you think that’s fair??”
“…Fine, let’s do that.”
“This paper here has my home address on it, okay?”
“…What kind of hero gives his home address to a villain—”
… Seo-yoon did too, right?
“…Maybe. Anyway, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Great!”
Our deal ended more or less successfully.
Limp… Limp…
Maybe he’d just stepped out for a bit.
I watched the man’s back as he limped his way back into the Association building.
Is this the power of word magic?
At that time, I had definitely made him take a huge dose of the drug. A good amount of it must’ve gone up his nose. For that kind of quantity, addiction should’ve been the least of his worries…he should’ve suffered far worse.
But if the only aftereffect he had was a limp…
I want it.
If I had that ability, I’d have a secret weapon that could lift me back up even when I was on the verge of death.
I could feel a creeping desire rising within me. To have the word magic power for myself.
I need to figure out the conditions for stealing that ability as soon as possible.
Swish…
While I was lost in thought—
Seo-yoon reappeared.
I had been wondering where she went, but it seemed she had just hidden herself with telekinesis to avoid being seen by V.
“…What do you mean by that?”
“Hmm? What do I mean by what?”
Seo Yoon finally shook my pants off her face and asked me a sharp question.
“You said you were going to meet with the Vice President…”
“Ah… I wasn’t really trying to hide it, but… I should start by saying sorry.”
“Huh?”
“I’m sorry. I answered your phone without asking… and made decisions on my own.”
There was no excuse; it was clearly my fault.
Not only did I answer someone else’s call without permission, but I also ended up feeding all sorts of misunderstandings about Mobià to the Vice President.
To get Seo-yoon to understand the situation as best as possible…
I needed to explain exactly why I impulsively picked up the Vice President’s call.
Determined to tell her about the bad blood between him and me—
“First, shall we head to your place? It feels weird talking about all this here.”
Just as we were about to go to her house to talk…
“Wait, can I get my torn pants first? I can’t go out like this.”
“Oh… uh… I… lost them.”
“?”
She’d been here the whole time…how could she have lost them?
“J-Just… I took a little look around the Association… it’s been a while!”
Ah…
She must’ve gone to check out her old workplace after a long time.
Well, if I heard that the place I quit in anger had gone under, I’d probably be curious enough to visit too.
“Could you, maybe, use telekinesis to hide me again? I mean… I can’t exactly walk around in just my underwear.”
“Just trust me, oppa!”
Once again, with Seo-yoon’s help, I decided to prevent a post like [I saw the Villain Hunter walking around in his underwear today] from showing up online.
“Oppa, I’ll grab you some clothes while we’re out.”
“Oh, thanks. That’d really help me out.”
“Haha.”
…
For some reason, the place we ended up at was a men’s underwear store.
“Here, wear this, and give me your old ones….I’ll throw them out for you!”

[Villain Hunter’s underwear is blue.]
(photo)
From now on, all my underwear will be blue. Anyway.
1. Super strength
2. Summoning
3. Healing
4. Reflection
5. Sexiness
I watched the live footage of the White High School terror attack today, and honestly, I was shook.
The heroes were trying to take down the Villain Hunter, but seeing him deflect their weapons like that, man…
I got chills all over my body, no joke.
Seeing those muscles through his torn clothes… honestly, it made me want to get pregnant by that man.
Phew…
This won’t do.
I’ve decided. I’m going to become a villain just so I can meet the Villain Hunter and get pregnant by him.
From now on, everyone call me the Villain Pregnancy Hunter!!!!!
[Comments]
-:?
-:?
-:??
-: I thought this was a personal attack, but when I realized it was a pregnancy attack, I blacked out.
ㄴ : The Villain Pregnancy Hunter already knocked out an innocent civilian lolol
-: I came here expecting a typical fangirl post, but is getting pregnant by the Villain Hunter the new meta for fan posts these days?
ㄴ : Seriously? lol
-: But why are the Villain Hunter’s powers so insane?
ㄴ : At this point, he’s gotta have at least 10 hidden abilities.
ㄴ : I’m kinda scared because this doesn’t even feel like a joke. I can feel it.
ㄴ : Holy crap, this is it.
ㄴ (OP): Holy crap. I seriously wanna get pregnant.
ㄴ : OP is actually crazy.
– (OP): Why is my image so wrecked right now? Did none of you ever consider I might be a woman?
ㄴ : A woman… posting on the Villain Forum?
ㄴ : Dumbass, if you’re a woman, shouldn’t you be the one getting the Villain Hunter pregnant? Why are you the one getting pregnant?
ㄴ (OP): Oh, was that how it works?
ㄴ : Don’t accept that logic, Lmaooooo
-: But wouldn’t it be insanely cool if the Villain Hunter’s power was stealing other people’s abilities?
ㄴ : He could’ve just joined the Hero Association and taken all their powers, but instead he targets only the bad guys and gives them a beatdown.
ㄴ : Now that you mention it, you’re right. If I were really trying to be a villain like the Villain Hunter, I’d have gone undercover as a hero and stolen Mobia’s ability first.
ㄴ : Try stealing Mobia’s power and your limbs would probably get ripped off.

“What are you doing, Unnie?”
“Oh, just writing a post online.”
“I wanna see it too.”
“No. This isn’t something little kids should be reading.”
“…What kind of post is it…?”
“It’s my hobby. Don’t mess with it.”
