A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 409
EP.409 - Old relationship
A few days have passed since I was locked up in the hospital..
"Howdy! Hahaha, ego stick. Are you feeling okay??'
"Dain Oppa!!! I missed you so much hehe."
"haha. Long time no see. Hello Ariel too."
While I was lying down, many people came to visit me..
Among them, many people whom I had not seen for a long time and whom I was glad to see came to visit..
So this time, Atlas and his daughter Ariel came to my hospital room together..
"You must be busy, but you could have just given me a call.."
"haha! How could I be so heartless? In particular, I heard that the ego stick fell! I ran with every step I took. There was a time when my daughter cried and asked me when I was going to go.."
"Haha... Dain oppa. How worried were you?..."
Ariel, with her blue hair loose, burying her face in my body and lying on my arm, mumbling like that. I smiled bitterly and stroked him while lying on the bed..
Ariel, who once lived with our Egostream. After she returned to her hometown to receive training as her successor, Atlas kept contacting her, saying he missed her..
...Especially when you see this accident, you must have been very surprised..
I thought about that while comforting Ariel in my arms..
By the way, Ariel also seems to have become more mature in many ways than before, perhaps because she was rolling next to Atlas..
Now, she really looked like a sea princess knight. I think he’s a bit taller too..
...But more than that, I feel a bit awkward showing my daughter in my arms in front of her father..
"ha ha ha! But it seems to be a lot better now, so I'm less worried. These people in Cattedal are also very worried about you.."
Of course, Atlas didn't seem to care that much. Rather, he smiles cheerfully.
...Since he still occasionally jokes about me calling me his son-in-law, I guess he likes me a lot. Or maybe Ariel was gaslighting his father...
Anyway, with that in mind, we had a pretty enjoyable time after the sea..
Of course, at the end, when Atlas dragged Ariel away saying it was time to go, Ariel resisted and said she didn't want to go, so there was a bit of a fuss... But in the end, it ended with Ariel crying loudly and being dragged away..
Instead, I got permission on the spot to let him live with me again once the Sun God thing was over, so wasn't that enough? I think it was enough to see Ariel crying after those words and smiling quietly behind her....
Anyway, even after that, many people who had a long relationship with me came to visit..
"Mr. Ego Stick. Are you feeling okay??"
"Mr. Ego Stick. Are you okay? Still, you look healthy.."
Our friends from the East Asia Villain League. Japan's katana and China's Li Xiaopeng.
"...Master. Are you comfortable?."
"Teacher Dain! Huh, I was worried.!!"
"...Teacher Dain, I’m fine.?"
"Teacher, please don't be sick...."
The four members of our Ego Squad and the first generation of my PMC who are currently serving as A-level heroes of the association. No. 1 Lee Se-gum, No. 2 Seo Chae-young, No. 3 Heo Da-hee, No. 4 Sansua.
Maybe it was because they were all working on the front lines, but unlike when I was teaching them, when they definitely looked younger, they all looked like adults. Well, now they are the leaders who lead many successors, including the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations..
Of course, for some reason, they still call me by my old name, Teacher..
Besides that.
"Hmm... Boss. Long time no see."
"no. It's Red. What have you been doing these days??"
After the Moonlight Cult Incident, Red, Blue, and Yellow of Team Lepis returned after several years on an airship to search for the One Piece. The people who came in wearing rabbit helmets said that they were soon wandering around with nothing to do, but when they met angels, they were so scared that they ran away from all over the world... and lived there. I couldn't come back to Korea because I was embarrassed, but this time I came back because I was surprised when I heard that I collapsed..
"No... don't say anything."
What the hell did you do with that big, cool airship??
Anyway, I told them to just stay in our association since they need air combat since angels are coming from heaven anyway. I was very impressed when they told me they would provide me with everything, including accommodation..
The person who came after that was Chayun, the younger brother of our healer Hayul..
"brother! Are you feeling okay??"
"Yes, yes. Cha Yun-ah, I would rather ask you a question. How are you? It's dangerous these days, so I'm told to come home instead of staying in the dormitory.."
"haha. I'm a senior in high school now, how can I do that?."
It was Chayun who smiled at my words and said that..
That little kid when I first saw him is already so big..
When he first saw me in that slum, he said, 'It's a mango stick!' It seems like it was just yesterday that your eyes lit up like this... It was so amazing..
...No. In fact, what is surprising is that the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea is holding the CSAT even though the world is in turmoil..
Of course, the school where Chayoon was at was a Yoosung Foundation school that boasted the best facilities and security, so it would be safe... but I still felt uneasy. Even though Chayun is all grown up, he’s still a kid..
Anyway, he took the time to come with his sister..
...Soon he looked at me with a determined expression and confessed his wish..
"...brother. Do you know what my dream is??"
"What?"
"...My siblings and I have had our lives saved thanks to Dain. So I thought about it from then on. When I grow up, I want to help my brother.."
"...so?"
"So I decided. My dream is to join the association.."
Chayun said that as if she was confessing a very big decision..
...However, I was just confused..
"But Cha Yoon-ah, the association doesn’t need to have such high grades, right? Aren’t you close to perfect scores in almost all subjects now? You don’t have to go that far.."
At my words.
Chayoon told me firmly that it wasn't like that..
"No, bro. That's how it should be. Because my dream is to become the president of the association.."
"...."
At Chayun’s words, I was speechless..
...He says he will become the president of the association and become my support force within the association. But if this happens, all high-ranking officials in Korea, including Seol-ah Lee in the government and corporate world, will become my acquaintances.?
Well, I thanked him and told him to work hard..
...However, it seems unlikely that the association will continue even after capturing the sun god. Still, it'll be there for a few more decades..
Like this, so many other people came to visit me in the hospital..
finally.
"Mr. Dain. How are you??"
The busiest person in Korea right now.
...Lee Seol-ah. She also came to see me.
"uh. I'm so stuck here, I can't get out, and I'm doing well.."
"...Mmmmm. Good for you. Dain, you need to stay in one place. Because you always come back hurt."
Seeing Lee Seol-ah nodding as if it was a reasonable action, I felt aggrieved..
Even you do that. How much has my trust gone?...
anyway.
"So, still crazy busy?"
"of course. There is a lot to clean up after this large-scale attack by angels. Fortunately, our country suffered little damage... other countries...."
She shook her head with a tired look on her face, then sat down on the bed I was leaning against and continued talking..
"Especially... after my brother collapsed, it wasn't really a mess. People are protesting, government leaders are all confused... I'm so worried because nothing is happening.."
"Haha... But, you kept me centered and protected me.?"
At my words, Lee Seol-ah looked confident....
He looked at me as if I was dumbfounded and said.
"Mr. Dain. What on earth do you think of me, Mr. Dain? I guess I wasn't worried about Da-in? I still don't know what I did for the past week.."
"Um... sorry?"
"Haha... But I'm glad I had some hope and was able to stop it because if I wasn't there at that time, it would have been a big problem. Fortunately, Celeste kept telling me with confidence that Dain would wake up, so I held on.."
"...okay? Celeste?"
What is it.
"Still, I'm glad that the angels' air attacks have decreased significantly again. Although it takes a long time to resolve..."
"That's right."
I had more conversations with Lee Seol-ah while thinking about those things..
...Until Hayul said that visiting hours were over..
Anyway, in this way, the long rush of visiting the hospital finally came to an end..
I am once again living a peaceful life.
...Confined in a hospital, under the surveillance of Egostream.
no. Isn’t this nonsense?.
'no. If I'm not there, things that need to be done with Catedal and the Countermeasures Headquarters won't work out.?'
'brother. What on earth are you doing with that body...! And that's excessive self-consciousness. And how much technology has advanced these days. You can do it all non-face-to-face....!'
'Yes, ego-stick. Han Seo-eun is right..'
The strategy of escaping using work as an excuse was effectively blocked due to Seo-eun's tech-technology words and Stardus' connivance..
Thanks to that, I am currently stuck in the hospital and enjoying my confinement life..
In fact, when I looked, this wasn't even a hospital. When I woke up, the location of the room had changed at some point. In a large white solitary room.
...what. It wasn't bad. I argued that people should see sunlight, and they created a room with a very large window that lets in plenty of sunlight..
However, there is only one door in that room. Although there was a problem with Egostream members taking turns guarding that place..
"Cough."
I coughed and complained inwardly..
...I think the fact that I began to cough up more blood after that day was also part of the fuss. I did it as secretly as possible, but how did they know everything? This is not a TV installed in the room.?
"..."
Well... Of course, I admit it too. I feel like my body has gotten a little weaker since that day..
Still... I don't know..
"Ugh..."
I sighed and turned on the TV..
A thought I had while listening to the sound in such a daze.
'...so. What is the identity of my ability?.'
I quietly looked at my hands and thought.
Like Stardust, the ability to emit light from the hand.
However, that light... was too enlightening, and it felt cloudy and sticky, as if it was polluted to be light..
But what is certain is.
'Obviously strong.'
It's an incredible ability that I couldn't even imagine..
Although his body was damaged after using it, the moment he emitted that black light, it wiped out all the angels in just a few seconds..
Why did I only get this ability now?.
"..."
My guess is that there was probably some influence from the sun god..
Just as the power of Stardust's star against him grew stronger due to the influence of the sun god, my power also grew stronger..
However, as the total amount of ability itself was weak as a result, I thought that something like this might have occurred because the reaction was forced..
Right now, I feel like I'm using my telekinesis and teleportation at the cost of my life..
The result was this type of confinement play..
"....."
Thinking about that, I sighed..
I guess I'll have to stay here for a while..
