I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain [part 1]

Chapter 23: Transformation! That's Not How It's Done! (3)

There were several ways to highlight the protagonist.

There was no need to discuss those methods right now, but if we were to talk about ways to make a protagonist stand out in this world...

"Wow! Goblin's new ultimate move!"

"He sends out a cross-shaped attack from where he stands, and it turns into a cross the moment it hits the enemy! Ah, could that be a motif from 'that religion'...?! It's an incredible blasphemy!"

"Using that much mana and still being unaffected. Is this what it means to be an S-class villain...!"

Everyone was amazed by the technique I just used.

Of course.

They were more impressed and excited by the incredible ability than by the death of a human being.

Either they didn't consider the ability user who became a demon due to an emotional rampage as a human, or they were just more thrilled about the impressive technique they had just witnessed.

The humans in this world, especially the ability users, lacked empathy.

To put it nicely, they lacked humanity; to put it harshly, their thoughts were garbage. In the midst of all this.

[What have you done!]

This was the way to highlight the 'heroes' represented by the protagonist.

[Even if she's a villain, how can you kill a person!]

A virtuous image.

In front of the blatant evil of the villain and the humanity-deprived public, a virtuous hero with humanity was bound to be emphasized.

In a pile of dirt, a diamond sparkles. Who could see it and say, 'The diamond is dirty.'

[Those who sell their souls to demons are only destined to die. They have already given up on being human. Even if they are kept alive, they would only live as monsters killing people.] [But!]

[It would be better to use the nation's taxes to treat the fallen and provide consolation money for the families of those killed by that demon rather than sustaining such an evil spirit.]

I wasn't necessarily saying this because I believed it had to be so.

[A villain once is a villain forever. If being alive hurts someone, they should atone for their sins through death. Suicide would be the best way, but those types wouldn't kill themselves, so I gave them death instead.]

Right now, I was only muttering a spell under my breath to escape from this place while I was talking.

[Many heroes may dream of peace in the world, but I hope they understand that pacifism is not always right.]

Sigh.

I lightly touched my belt and soon transformed back into my original form - a gentleman goblin in a black suit.

'Phew. I almost committed social suicide.'

I was unnecessarily worried about what would happen if my transformation wore off and I was exposed, but luckily that didn't happen.

[Do you want to protect even the villains? Then become stronger. Enough to stop me. I look forward to it, hero.]

[Wait!!]

Solar Platina reached out towards me, but I left the place with a slight kick on the ground.

[Goblin Step.]

How?

By teleportation.

"Ah, the goblin is escaping!"
