Academy's Silver Gatekeeper-Chapter 104

The golden flash unfolding before my eyes. Undoubtedly Irina.

Yes! At times like this, that crazy yellow... Excuse me. She's useful as an S-rank ability user! She must have appeared after sensing Elder's, Hyeon Sujin's ominous presence. Just like last time...

'...No, wait. This is different from last time.'

At that time, Hyeon Sujin also had a clearly urgent look. I didn't know the reason then, but seeing Irina, I could tell she was being chased.

But now, even Hyeon Sujin didn't know Irina had come this close. She wasn't being chased. That woman just snuck here secretly. Then why was Irina near my house when she appeared? frёeωebɳovel.com

CRASH—!

...Like a fool. I was thinking about something meaningless. Right. Why Irina is here isn't important right now. The real problem is that Irina and Hyeon Sujin are right 'here.'

CRASH—!

I witnessed it. The moment the golden flash, Irina, charged in once. Everything in the room except the ceiling collapsing... no, the ceiling is collapsing too. I quickly threw my body to a safe place. Because it looked like it would really hurt to get crushed by that.

Right next to me, a front door crumpled like paper was rolling around. As if that wasn't enough, Irina smashed the wall with her bare hands.

I recalled the vehicle that had been driving recklessly in front of Irina recently. Hmm. That bastard probably used up all his lifetime luck then.

CRASH—!

Hyeon Sujin, who took a direct hit, also rolled outside through the wall. At such an Elder, Irina charged again while spewing thick curses.

"..."

While the golden flash and black shadows collided with thunderous noise, I lay there on the spot, blankly looking around.

This was still my enjoyable home until yesterday. Now everything is smashed to pieces as if it had been bombed. She even smashed the walls. This became forced outdoor living.

'Wow. This... what do I do now.'

First, I'm fine. Tomorrow I'll be saying goodbye to this place anyway. The real problem is the building owner here, the laundry shop owner downstairs. I can clearly see him coming tomorrow morning and screaming "What is this!"

But he must have insurance, right? Yeah, there's no way he wouldn't. This is South Korea, where there's insurance even if the sky falls. Hang in there, comprehensive housing insurance! It wasn't me! Those women did it!

CRASH—! RUMBLE—!

I hear the sound of something else collapsing with a roar. Those things fighting over there aren't just women.

One is South Korea's strongest ability user, one is a calamity itself, an Elder. Most importantly, both of them are 'crazy women.' They're absolutely not people who would fight moderately while watching their surroundings!

I came to my senses and quickly jumped through the collapsed wall.

Ow, my knee. Fuck. I should have just gone down the stairs.

"...Hey, you crazy!"

A curse automatically burst out at the terrible sight unfolding before my eyes.

There's an elementary school not far from the room. No, there was. Why past tense? What's the point of explaining? The things fighting now aren't human!

'Didn't they say ability users draw villains to outlying areas?!'

I don't know what they did, but in that short time, half the school has collapsed.

It's late evening, so there are no children and teachers would have gone home. These days, machines do everything, so there probably aren't even security guards. Yes, it has to be that way. There absolutely must be no casualties!

CRASH—!

With another roar, the remaining half of the school completely collapsed. Not satisfied with even that, the two women who had been entangled headed toward another building.

What are you, bowling pins? Why do you keep rolling around? When you roll around, that's disaster chunks smashing through everything!

"Irina! Irina!!"

I called desperately, but there's no way she could hear. If she could hear while smashing up heaven and earth like that, that would be amazing.

So far it's just ended with the school, empty buildings, and a road with a few cars. Irina and Hyeon Sujin were systematically destroying all of that with just a few physical fights.

It wasn't for nothing that they're called demigods or calamities. Really, how can people fight like that?

'...Huh?'

Hey, you crazy! If you go that way, it's an apartment complex!

"Irina! If you go there, it'll be a disaster! Irina! Hey! Irina! Hey, crazy woman!!"

Perhaps her eyes had gone crazy from fighting Hyeon Sujin, Irina just kept charging. Every time she punched once, Hyeon Sujin's head whipped around. Thanks to that, both the one getting hit and the one hitting just kept heading toward the apartment complex.

I really called for Irina desperately. At the top of my lungs, no, until my throat burst. Telling her to come to her senses and look where she's going. At this rate, a disaster with hundreds of deaths and injuries was about to happen!

'It's no use! That crazy woman!'

I thought she really lived up to her name. Why would she be called a crazy woman? Ma Hakjun had reason to shake his head.

I ran and ran until I was breathless. And toward Irina, I shouted once more.

"Hey, you crazy bitch! Are you planning to kill all the innocent people!"

But my final desperate attempt was still useless. Whether she couldn't see anything, Irina was still in combat. At least Hyeon Sujin seemed to understand the situation somewhat, but she didn't seem to have any thoughts either.

At this rate, the worst situation might really happen. If it had just been a terrorist attack by villains, I wouldn't know, but an ability user is involved. And without considering civilian damage at all, just fighting!

'I have to stop them.'

This isn't just for innocent people. From Irina, who will be cursed at, to her parents who will suffer because of their daughter, there are too many people involved, so absolutely, yes.

I absolutely had to stop those crazy women.

"Ugh!"

Hyeon Sujin bit her lip until it bled. She wasn't in great compatibility with this opponent to begin with, and now she was completely caught.

"You bitch, eyeing my stuff like a stray cat?"

Fierce killing intent emerges from Irina's eyes. Really, she's a woman more villainous than Elders every time I see her. It's amazing that this woman hasn't become a villain yet.

"...! ...! ...!!"

Baek Seojin's voice calling for Irina can be heard from far away. Hyeon Sujin roughly knew what he was shouting.

Actually, if she set her mind to it, she could change Irina's attack direction with a few actions. That might prevent the worst civilian damage. But why? Is there any reason she should do that?

Rather, if innocent victims emerge because of Irina, there would be many benefits. First, it could worsen public opinion about ability users. And second, it would give her a reason to persuade Baek Seojin.

'Yes, rather like this, to the apartment complex...'

The moment she thought that, both Hyeon Sujin's and Irina's eyebrows twitched. Almost simultaneously, something flew like lightning in front of the two women.

"You crazy bitches!"

CRASH—!

With a roar, Irina and Hyeon Sujin scattered in opposite directions.

Hyeon Sujin, who barely stopped a groan from escaping between her lips due to the strong impact, thought:

'...Really, he can't be an ordinary human.'

She looked at Baek Seojin standing before them. He had jumped into the middle of two S-ranks fighting and managed to separate them.

His ridiculous physical abilities and unparalleled combat sense. There's no way a B-rank who could show such performance against such monsters could exist.

'Yes. That person was like that too. At important moments, he could use abilities higher than his set rank. Certain. Baek Seojin, that guy is the one that person searched for so desperately...'

Thinking that, Hyeon Sujin thought 'Oh no' and quickly looked at Irina.

Crazy yellow woman. The nickname villains gave her with utter disgust. Why would such an identification code be attached? Because she really is, literally, a crazy woman.

Like now, when someone interfered with her combat? When they openly obstructed her? Even if it were an ally, she would charge at them to kill and turn them into mush. Shrieking to know your place, how dare you interfere.

Even Elders were fed up with that crazy behavior.

"Ah, really! Why are you interfering!"

So when she saw Irina just shouting as if feeling wronged, Hyeon Sujin had to show a very flustered expression, saying "Huh?"

Irina, that crazy yellow woman, was being controlled too naturally.

The killing intent that had been overflowing just moments ago had completely disappeared. She had completely suppressed her will to fight and returned to being just a person.

She didn't strangle him asking why he was interfering, nor did she charge desperately saying she wouldn't let him get away.

She was just looking at Baek Seojin standing before her and shouting normally.

"Why are you doing this!"

"Do you call that speaking properly?! Do you want to show off being a crazy woman?!"

"Gah! Seojin oppa, don't call me by that nickname!"

"Huh?"

"I, I get hurt too!"

"Then don't do things that would hurt you!"

Crazy yellow woman. Once she enters combat, her eyes roll back and she becomes a combat machine that absolutely won't stop until she catches and kills the enemy before her.

That woman, Baek Seojin was treating casually. And he was controlling that woman quite easily. Just this alone could be called a tremendous discovery for Hyeon Sujin.

'For now, let's retreat. I can't even guarantee victory fighting that crazy woman...'

Most importantly, she had told the truth to someone like 'that person,' so that was enough. Thinking so, Hyeon Sujin shouted to Baek Seojin, who was having a heated argument.

"Baek Seojin! Think carefully. From now on, the world will change completely. To tell you something special, even the Elders will move completely differently now. And the cause is none other than you."

"That's more bullshit! Hey, you wait right there! Now I'm going to..."

"The proposal I made to you is still valid. So think carefully. Who you should be hostile toward now."

With those words, Hyeon Sujin seemed to turn into shadow and disappeared. It happened so quickly that Irina couldn't catch her in time.

"...Ah, ah. Really! I missed her because of oppa!"

"Good thing! Were you planning to do more here? While getting innocent people killed or injured?!"

"It's catching one Elder... Ugh! I went out of my way to help thinking of oppa!!"

Irina shouting, and Baek Seojin not backing down and lecturing her in return.

"...Haha. I'm screwed."

And the secretary who had been waiting in the car and inadvertently witnessed this disaster.

In various ways, there wasn't a single normal person.
