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

Chapter 80: How To Capture A Hero (1)

About a week had passed since the treasure hunting commotion.

Ermina Sternfert began her defense with legal professionals from her homeland.

She became an ordinary person.

Her future as a dazzling A-Class ability user disappeared, and now she was left to live the life of an utterly incompetent person, at least according to her own judgment.

The Korean language could be so nuanced.

A one-letter difference, yet the nuance or feeling embedded in the word could vary greatly.

Ability user or non-ability user.

This was from the perspective of someone who had abilities.

Superhuman and Ordinary person.

This was from the perspective of someone without abilities.

However, those who believed in the 'superiority' of abilities described themselves as superhumans, and referred to non-superhumans or ordinary people as 'incapable'.

Those who were not born with the blessing of superpowers.

Unlike themselves, the generation that would lead the new era, these were the beings of an outdated era that should become extinct and disappear.

During the wandering years of adolescence, due to the influence of the environment, those who thought that only those with abilities were superior sometimes treated those without superpowers as 'disabled'.

If those with physical deficiencies were considered disabled.

Then, to ability users, ordinary people were 'deficient' of super abilities.

From an ordinary person's perspective, this was an extremely unpleasant and detestable viewpoint, but would it change even if you told them their thinking was wrong?

Not at all.

It would not change.

One was born with special abilities, and losing one's powers was impossible.

Some time ago, it was rumored that such a thing happened in North America, but people didn't care much because they were accidents that happened by chance.

But...

Now, the situation has changed.

Whether this was a misunderstanding or not, whether it was true or not, we could not know.

But given the circumstances, the concerned party who could confirm this was unable to say anything, and the subject to ask if they really had such abilities had disappeared without a trace.

"-Goblin, can you erase abilities?"

People began to wonder.

And this was no different for the organization.

With the help of Brewer, I temporarily left Sejong Island and headed to Busan, then straight up to Seoul and entered my house.

"Ah, this is Manager Do Ji-Hwan."

And I greeted them.

"It's been a while since we've greeted each other directly. Nice to see you, Chairwoman. And directors."

Through video conferencing via a special relay device in my house in Seoul, I greeted the leader and executives of Yi Maemangyang on a channel that did not fall under government surveillance.

No one showed their faces.

They were each wearing masks according to their own concept, but I had already confirmed the faces under the masks separately.
