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

Chapter 153: Riding Doul, Acceleration (2)

Heroes always seemed to arrive late in hero stories.

It was the same in this world - heroes mostly didn't make it to the scene on time.

Why were these so-called heroes always late?

Were they just procrastinating and ended up being late, or did they think that since the incident had already happened, they might as well take their time and enjoy a cup of coffee?

While there were those who acted like this, seeing truly justice-driven individuals like Baek Seol-hee arrive late made me think.

It was not that the heroes were slow.

Villains created circumstances that made it impossible for heroes to arrive quickly.

No hero wanted to be late to the scene, but villains deliberately caused incidents in locations where it was hard for heroes to reach.

That was the case right now.

I rushed to Ulleungdo with all my might but still ended up slightly late.

'If I had been just a bit later, Yoon Iseon would have almost turned into a demon.'

If I had looked elsewhere.

If Baek Seol-hee had delayed me while trying to catch me.

If I had wasted time catching a demon that appeared along the way.

Maybe I would have had to face an S-class demon, Yoho Gumiho.

But I barely saved her.

Though Duoexini's touch had reached her, I managed to save Yoon Iseon.

'Good work.'

Yoon Iseon and Yumir, too.

It wasn't so easy for Yumir to simply reveal her power as Solar Platina and end things – the situation was too unfavorable for her.

Asking her, 'Why don't you transform?' would be unreasonable.

If our secret society hadn't sent Doul, she would have transformed immediately, defeated the demon, and saved Yoon Iseon.

Maybe I robbed her of the chance to shine.

There could have been a future where Yumir heroically saved Yoon Iseon and revealed her identity as Golden Priestess while defeating the demon.

But that future didn't exist.

Because that's the future Duoexini wanted, where the Golden Priestess - Platinum Sun revealed herself.

There were places where the Golden Priestess needed to intervene, but Ulleungdo was not one of them.

So.

[I'm late, so let's finish this quickly.]

[Tempest, On!]

I instantly united with Doul.

The magic power of Doul, dwelling inside me, filled my entire body, and I allowed Doul to enter my body.

[Ah, this feeling... It's the best...! The sensation of being alive...!]

[Stop the nonsense. Follow me. Keep up with my tempo.]

After steadying my magic power, I focused all my consciousness forward.

Just like when Ermina Sternfert went berserk, he must be-

[Here he comes.]

"Goblinnnnnn!!"

He rushed towards me at super speed.

His speed was not just like a flash of lightning but more like running in a world where time had been accelerated.
