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

Chapter 76: Where There Is Nationalism, There Is Duoexini (3)

After Yumir successfully extracted the demon seed from Ermina,

[I trust you. You truly are the protagonist.]

[I wanted to tell Yumir this...]

Only the protagonist could possess such power; thus, you must be the protagonist.

The 'purification' ability - a privilege given to just one person in this world, that lay at the very foundation of this world. An ability to counteract the side effects of ability users: 'Runaway' and 'Demonization'.

[Aaaah! I, I'm not a killer!]

[Calm down! The Goblin aims to turn you into a murderer! Don't fall for his charm!]

[Give up! You've already become a demon!]

[Aaaah!!! No...! I don't want to become a demon and kill people!!]

[Damn it...! There's no choice! Everyone, step back! I will do it!]

The protagonist suppressed the 'Runaway' of several heroines through this purification ability, turning them back into humans.

[The touch of Hwanwoong—!]

[Oh, thank you...]

[What is that power?]

[It's a technique that transforms non-humans into humans, imbued with the power of mugwort and garlic! Understand it that way!]

However, this ability was introduced around the third volume, so I did not expect it to appear in what could be considered the first volume storyline.

'Anyway, it's a relief.'

I was a little hopeful.

'She appeared as a woman but doesn't seem to be a bad person.'

If Yumir was indeed the protagonist.

If Yumir had resolved to let Ermina die as a human.

'I'm really glad she's not the type to kill or ignore all heroines who have turned into demons just because she's turned from a man to a woman.'

While I was intercepting Duoexini, Yumir must have been trying to revert Ermina back to being human, not killing her as a demon.

Thankfully, that assumption proved to be correct.

[Hey, Solar Platina. You intend to hide that ability, don't you?]

[.......]

[You had no choice but to use your power to purify Ermina, but you don't want your ability to be exposed, right?]

Yumir nodded heavily. Now that it was known that Yumir had the power of purification, knowledge of Yumir's ability must not be allowed to be spread indiscriminately.

In this world, there were countless demons, and demons were imprisoned all over the place. If it became known that Yumir had the power of purification, the country would immediately turn Yumir into a 'tool' for demon purification.

To exert their authority over an instrument.

[Go over there. Then undo your transformation and lie down as if you've fainted. I'll take care of the rest.]

I pointed in the direction where the mana powder was, and Yumir hesitated to step forward.

[The heroes will arrive within 30 seconds. There's no time. Do you want your identity to be discovered?]

"I just want to say one thing."

Yumir reached out to me.

[I'll return the Durumagi you lent me, so let's meet there again at midnight on the full moon.]
